Screen orientation settings

Home is really great, but has a flaw that I'm sure others noticed, too: there's no screen orientation lock, and we're suffering from reverse portrait orientation flu!
The reverse portrait orientation makes us lying-down-in-bed readers unable to browse our links comfortably, and most other apps haven't enabled it by default (a professional Apple-esque approach), while others, who still ignored the mode, also included a screen orientation lock (see MobileRSS for a great example).
Please fix this ASAP!
Thanks!

The solution lies with the Sync team and the software, not the hardware. For instance, that software workaround only applies to iPhone 4, 3GS and iPod touch 3G users, leaving everyone else, myself included, out of the multitasking feature in iOS4.

Screen orientation locked despite correct settings in control panel and side switch

Screen orientation locked despite correct settings in control panel and side switch

Make sure this logo do not appear on top right of screen.

How do you turn off larger dynamic type on the iphone4 when your screen orientation is locked (vertically)?

So I have the iphone 4 with the latests update ios7.
So I went on settings > general > accessibility > larger type.
And I clicked "on" for "larger dynamic type"
Now my font is so big I can't even see apps that I have and such
I want to turn it "off" but my screen orientation is locked! (I can't move my phone horizontally) I think if I can move my phone horizontally I'll be able to see the on/off button for larger dynamic type.
I tried sliding the bottom upwards to turn off screen lock orientation but it's not on my screen because my font is set to a really big size that the "screen orientation lock button" didn't make it to the screen

Turning on Dynamic type and increasing it shold not have that effect.
Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

I have the older generation ipad and the screen orientation is locked. I don't seem to have a switch option under General. Can you help me?

Ipad orientation of screen is locked. I don't seem to have the command for switch on general systems settings.
Any ideas?

If you see a lock icon in the upper right corner of the screen - then the screen orientation is locked.
Try the side switch above the volume rocker first and see if that unlocks the screen. If that doesn't do it, double tap the home button and swipe to the right and look for the lock icon all the way to the left.
If the screen is unlocked but still will not rotate, reset the iPad.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

Screen orientation lock

I have not screen orientation lock but in this place I'v a volume mute. Whats going on?

I post this quite often for users that lose system sounds but it relates to the screen lock as well. Read this and the link I post at the end.
If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

Screen orientation help

The screen orientation of my iPod touch is miscalibrated. Whenever I use iTunes or my Alarm applications the screen automatically shifts horizontally and will not return to vertical no matter how I turn the iPod in my hand.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

IPad Mini retina screen orientation problem still not solved?!

I have also been having the screen orientation problem on my iPad Mini retina. I cannot find out what the problem is or how to solve it. The switch does not help it and neither does changing the settings. Nor does rebooting. Also, the volume on the retina is definitely lower than the ordinal iPad Mini. If I had known this I would've kept the original. I am on IOS 7.1.2.

If you have Reset it, Restored it from Backup and Restored it as new and none of these helped then you will need to get it serviced.

I need a symbol to remain center screen on my web page no matter the screen resolution settings.

Im trying to create an animation with functions inside a symbol. I need the symbol settings to remain seprate from the other settings of other items on the page such as "stage" and "background image" which are set to % height.width,longitude,latitude . It is important that the symbol stays in the center of the screen. I also need this symbol to always remain in the center of the screen no matter screen resolution settings that are likly range from 1360x768 to 1920x1080.

Hi there,
I solved the problem. but by solving the problem with centering the symbol on the stage I created another one, a very strange problem.
Firstly the solving of centering problem:
I left all settings of the symbol by px, (means no responsive layout), set 0 px o for position, and wrote a css which then centered the symbol on the stage,
sym.$("products").css({
margin : 'auto',
position: 'relative'
here how does it look in edge:
The symbol products is behaving just as supposed. The problem I created and which I don#t understand at all: I created another symbol (news) made the very same adjustments, but the symbol is not positioned as supposed. (of course I change the name of symbol in css). What the heck???
Anyone any idea why this is happening?

IPhone 6 Plus Screen Orientation Sticks

i have a 64gb iPhone 6 plus the screen orientation can go wrong pictures are upside down and then you have to power off the phone
any person with the same problem
Come on Apple get to right

It's not a hardware problem so far as I am concerned. Hardware problem would indicate that the accelerometers are "sticking" and making the phone think it's actually upside down.
The weird thing is - on mine, when this happens, the springboard screen is completely upside down upon unlock. If I continue to hold the phone right side up and I open any apps - they will correctly launch in the home button-down orientation. Once I leave said app, springboard is still upside down.
If it were an accelerometer (hardware) issue - then the apps would also load in the incorrect (upside down) orientation. It simply is a bug with Springboard and I have no idea how to reproduce it - but I can say that it seems to randomly just decide to wake from sleep upside down.
For me - the only way to "resolve" the issue is to restart the phone by either powering off and back on, or by holding both buttons until I see the apple icon (warm reboot).
For clarity - I am using a 128GB 6+

System preferences freezes whenever try to change screen saver settings

When I try to change the screen saver settings in the system preferences, it locks up and I have to force quit. Is this a graphics issue? Anyone else having this issue? It looks like my computer is having problems processing the screen saver previews. I have the new Macbook Pro Unibody (June 2009).
Any help would be awesome, thanks!

Edit/add to the above: I just realised that the iLife Support update had (supposedly) already been installed -- it's listed in the updates in the system preferences, but not with today's date (which fixed the issue), but with the date when I got the MBP. Strange. A bug in the update? Not installed completely? Didn't get any error messages though. Anyway, all's well now

How to Change the Screen Saver Settings to Mystify in Windows 7 using vbscript?

HI All,
How to Change the Screen Saver Settings to Mystify in Windows 7 using vbscript?

First: What is a GPO?
Second: jrv, that was not too helpful in general. someone should do some actual code.
Bob Blork - Mark as answer if it helped!
This is a forum for technicians and not for home users. GPO is what technical people use to manage Windows. THe script to do this is in the link I posted - how is that not helpful?
I know this is all over your head. I am curious as to why you would respond in a technical forum to a question you do not understand.
We do not provide free scripts. We also will point users at correct answers.
This is not a forum for homw users or for simple support questions. It is also a thread that has been answered for a long time. Perhaps you should start a new thread if you have an actual question about scripting.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
