  • Screen orientation stuck in messages

    I updated to the new operating system and my screen in messages is stuck in landscape orientation.  Has anyone had this happen and how did you fix it?

    I had the same problem.  I reset the iphone by holding down the two buttons for 5 seconds until the Apple logo shows to reboot the phone and that fixed it, good luck

  • The screen is stuck in landscape in the music app on my ipod touch

    The screen on my daughter's iPod touch is stuck in the landscape position. When we turn it to the portrait position, it stays as landscape. However, the screen orientation for the other apps works just fine. Does anyone know how I fix this?

    Try resetting the iPod.  It curs many problems and nothing is lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears

  • My screen is stuck downloading the new ios7 how to i get this to reset?

    My screen is frozen or stuck downloading the new iOS7 and it just shows there is a minute left to download. It has been like this for several hours and i have reset the phone and it comes right back to this status. How can i clear this so it will start the download again?

    Go into settings and see if you have Mute System Sounds checked or Lock Screen Orientation checked for the button just above the colume control on the right hand side of your iPad.  If you have Screen Orentation checked, just move the button and your screen should rotate again.  If you have Mute System Sounds, go to your home screen and then double tap your home button.  The most recently used apps will appear.  WIth your finger swipe those apps to the right and on the far left will be an icon for screen orientation.  Touch it to turn it on again, and your screen should again rotate. 

  • Just 4 days after having my i6 set up my screen orientation while viewing my pictures and videos has gone sideways or upside down  , seems random. Anyone know of a fix??

    Just 4 days after having my i6 set up my screen orientation while viewing my pictures and videos has gone sideways or upside down  , seems random. Anyone know of a fix?? Just discovered that it won't rotate as expected in other apps either.

    Im having a similar issue with my iPhone 6 Plus on iOS 8.  My issue is with the home screen and text screen being stuck and or freezing in place.  The home screen will flip upside down and stay that way and with my messages if I rotate the phone in landscape view it sometimes stays stuck or freezes in that view. I have to turn my phone off and on to get it back to normal.
    I also contacted apple support and they advised me to do a fresh restore which I did with iOS 8 but it still happened shortly after.  Apple said that if the problem persists to bring it to an apple store for repair or replacement.  Im thinking its a software issue because when I researched it on the internet it appears people with iPhone 5's and 5s's are experiencing the same or similar issues and orientation freezes. I just recently upgraded to iOS 8.0.2 and will monitor it and see if the issue was fixed.  So fingers crossed that iOS 8.0.2 fixes it. 

  • My iPad screen is stuck on an alert message telling me that I have not backed up to iCloud in 5 weeks. How do I get pass this alert message?

    My iPad screen is stuck on an alert message that is informing me that I have not backed up to iCloud in 5 weeks. How do I get pass this alert message.

    I have been dealing with this problem since upgrading to ios 6.  I have an old ipod touch that is still running ios 5.? that backs up daily with no problem whatsoever.  I have attemped every solution posted on these help boards (i.e. deleting accounts, turning off all apps from back-up, restarting device, changing routers, attempting back-ups through different wifi spots) sometimes one or a combination of these band-aid fixes will work for a day or two, then suddenly the ipad (version 3) will simply stop backing up, and I will spend hours of frustration going through all the tedious fixes.  All the while my old ipod touch running ios 5 backs up daily with no problem whatsoever.  I have called Apple support and they seemed surprised that this is a problem and offer no real solution whatsoever.
    Until Apple gets their head out of the sand on this one, and actually fixes the obvious bug that exists is ios 6 this problem will continue and will not be resolved.

  • My MacBook screen is stuck in "presentation" mode after using my "Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter." How can I fix this?

    My MacBook screen is stuck in "presentation" mode (I don't know the correct term) after using my Apple Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter - meaning the screen fonts and windows are larger than usual. How can I fix this? I've changed the display settings to modify it a little, but it still doesn't look right. I reinserted the adapter numerous times and restarted my computer, it still hasn't worked. Help!

  • I used utilities to source my 10.6 snow leopard install disc to my main hardrive, and now when I turn on my computer the apple with the spinning wheel stays on the screen and stuck like that. How do I fix it Help please. I already tried all the commands

    I used utilities to source my 10.6 snow leopard install disc to my main hardrive, and now when I turn on my computer the apple with the spinning wheel stays on the screen and stuck like that. How do I fix it Help please. I already tried all the commands such as Command R, Holding down the Option key, C and holding down shift at the start up but nothing happens.
    initialy All I was trying to do was downgrade 10.7 to 10.6 .

    You have to consider the possibility the hard drive may be dying.    If your data isn't backed up, try one of the tools below:

    Once you are sure your data is backed up, we can examine other possibilities.  In the meantime call AppleCare for your original installation DVDs.  You may need them.

  • I restored my iPod in the middle of a download, now it can't do anything but restore, and when i restore it, the screen gets stuck on weird things, like the apple screen or purple or yellow. how do i get it un-stuck?

    i restored my iPod in the middle of a download, now it can't do anything but restore, and when i restore it, the screen gets stuck on weird things, like the apple screen or purple or yellow. how do i get it un-stuck?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • 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.

  • 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+

    What to do if the screen is stuck on the draft screen? I was writing a mail, saved it as draft, then later, was able to send it. However, the screen did not revert to the inbox page. The draft page seems to be hung or stucked. Safari and all others are working ok though.

    I sent the draft to myself several times. That did not seem to be working, but when I opened Mail this morning, it has been sent all of the times and the Mail screen is no longer frozen.
