Shut off auto rotation?

I downloaded a pdf with some pages in portrait mode and others in landscape. When I rotate the iPad to read the landscape pages of course it rotates the image to the portrait mode which makes it almost impossible to read. Can I turn off the auto rotate feature?

Do you want to stop the iPad from switching between portrait and landscape? If so, as you hold it in the portrait mode, at the upper right corner is a small swith...just move it and it will lock the screen.

Can I shut off auto-correct when typing text messages

When I am typing a text message, my phone auto corrects. Is there a way to shut this feature off?

You can turn it off but it will be off for all uses on the phone, not just text messages. The on/off control is in Settings > General > Keyboard

Any way to shut off auto publish in gallery?

Lots of issues with Iphoto 09 but, I working through them
One issue is my use of Gallery which was pretty much ok in 08
Now, my photos are placed on the internet in an order other then what I want. I try to select them in the order I want but, they are shuffled when they go into the gallery. Only way to avoid it is to put them in one at a time but,
the problem is that when you drag a photo to the existing gallery, it almost immediately starts to auto-publish. If I try to do anything to the gallery, add a photo, adjust the photo order, re-name a photo etc. none of the changes get published correctly.
Is there any way to shut down the "auto-publish" function so that I can add photos, do the editing, rename, change the order, etc. and then when I am done and satisfied click to publish.
I tried to turn off airport so that it couldn't publish but, I get some kind of goofy error message that says publish failed due to an error in my mobile me log in information? The message is delivered with virtually every change I make, which is fun, and then when I turned airport back on, it apparently lost my faces so, it has been re-cranking on that for the past 24 hours.
I'm frankly very unhappy with this iphoto update in general but, if I could just handle galleries in an intelligent way, I'd suffer through most of the rest. Just let me make a bunch of changes and then publish when I want to.
Any help, appreciated.

I already sent a suggestion but, was hoping to find out it was there.
When you read their material on gallery it acts like you have to click on the icon to the right of the gallery to start the publishing but, it has pretty much always been automatic for me?
I do use a "prep" folder to do all the work but, with 09, the pictures are put on the internet out of the order I set? There is no apparent rational reason for it, just does it wrong.
thanks

[Lollipop] Turning Auto-rotate off forces portrait mode

In various situations, I like to use my tablet in landscape mode, but turn auto-rotate off (watching movies/streams while lying down).
I do this using the pull-down quick menu. After the update to lollipop however, whenever I turn off "Auto-rotate", the button's name will switch to "Portrait" and my tablet (and app) will rotate into portrait mode, even if it was in landscape mode when I pressed the button. I reckon this is done with e-books in mind, but for my purposes this makes this feature useless.
Is there any way to restore the original behaviour (tablet stays in the orientation it was in when you decide to turn off Auto-rotate)? If there is not currently, I urge you to change it back to the old way (other lollipop tablets seem to have the old behaviour still from what I could gather from friends).

That's the way it's supposed to work
Well, that just sounds like an opinion. Do you have any source for that? As I said, my friends' other tablets behave differently.
Is there anyone from Sony around who can shed some light on this or make inquiries? Or is this a users-help-users-only support forum?
And @Johnny_dee, please don't hijack threads. The whole discussion now is about a whole other topic. Just open a new topic.
(maybe some nice moderator could split the topic?)

Twist - Auto-rotate sticks in protrait

If I enable auto rotate with the twist in laptop confiiguration, and rotate it sideways, it will not return to either landscape orentation. You can flip portrait either way. putting it in tablet more sometimes fixes it, but sometimes the touchpad ends up 90 degrees off, and a powerdown is the only recovery.

I don't know if this will work for anyone else, but after I turned off auto-rotation by pressing Windows Key + o (the letter, not the number), I "manually" rotate the screen orientation by right-clicking on the desktop --> Graphic Options --> Rotation --> then choose from "Normal" (i.e., laptop); 90 Degrees; 180 Degrees; or 270 Degrees, and it seems to stick. (The Ctrl+Arrow key combination never worked for me.)
Turning off Auto-Rotation while in Laptop mode:
From the desktop, I just used Windows Key + o until the "Autorotate off" message appeared onscreen.
Alternatively, you can press Windows Key +x --> Control Panel --> Hardware and Sound --> Display --> Change Display Settings --> remove the checkmark from the "Allow the Screen to auto-rotate" box --> Click OK
To Right-Click the desktop "by touch" (e.g., you're already in Tent Mode and the orientation is wrong, and it's awkward to try to use the keyboard):
Press and hold your finger on the desktop and a square will appear. Remove your finger from the desktop and the right-click menu will appear, then touch Graphic Options --> Rotation --> then choose 180 Degrees.
Updated: Just realized that switching to Tent Mode doesn't turn auto-rotate back on, but if I collapse my screen down into Tablet Mode from Tent Mode, when the screen is about an inch from touching the keyboard, auto-rotate comes back on automatically. Still, if I press the auto-rotate button above the power button to turn auto-rotate off, when I "manually" adjust the rotation of the screen, it stays in place. But when I raise the lid again to go back into Laptop Mode, auto-rotation comes back on by itself.
I'd love to find out how to disable whatever turns on the auto-rotation function when the screen is in a certain position.

How do I turn off auto-rotation when opening a file? Photoshop Elements 9.

It doesn not auto-rotate on its own. It reads from the image metadata and based on orientation opens it. Are you seeing with all the images. How do you see them in Paint or other image viewing apps? How about Windows Explorer or folder thumbs.
Try rotating one to correct one and save and then open in Editor.
Thanks,
Garry

Is there a way to keep the Nano from auto shutting off?

This is probably a weird question because it doesn't really involve a problem per se. I am a drummer in a band. I am using my iPod 1 GB Nano to play an intro during our live shows and also play segways between songs because it is more reliable than a laptop. Basically each of my sound clips are in their own playlist so that once the clip ends it stops and doesn't go to the next song and I'm not trying stop it while I'm also playing the drums. But within a minute or so of finishing the sound clip the Nano shuts off. When I turn it back on it causes a small popping sound in the PA (which is undesireable). I'm wondering if there is a way to keep the iPOD from shutting off automatically. I haven't been able to find any settings that allow me to prevent it from auto shut off. Any suggestions? And just to clarify, it is not shutting off while playing the sound clip, but usually a minute or so after. So It's not like it is malfunctioning. But there must be some way to keep it from shutting off automatically.

Hi Jarame,
Welcome to Apple Discussions
Try putting your iPod on Hold. You might want to look at Knowledge Base Document #60951 and Knowledge Base Document #60945 goes over The iPods Different Sleep Modes.

My iPad does not automatically shut off after several minutes of non use. I can shut it off with the on/off switch. What can I do to get the auto sut off feature back?

Can't turn auto rotate off!

Hi, I got my Xperia Z1 today, and have now checked out everything on my new phone now, and I have just. discovered that I can't turn off the auto rotate feature
Not sure if this happened after I updated to 4.3
This is really annoying, I have tried to restart the phone, turn auto rotate off and on again in both the screen settings and the shortcut in the scroll down "menu"
Anyone got any tips or tricks for me to a fix?
Would appreciate it much
Rune H.Hansen

Hi there,
What if a some app you use causes that issue?
Reboot your phone into "Safe Mode" and check whether an issue reappears.
Cheers.

I have a 2011 MBA currently running OS X 10.9.2. The household power in this area is erratic and subject to surges and full cut-offs. Do I need a UPS, is auto shut-off available?

Will the battery protect the MBA in the event of a power issue? Will the MBA interface with a UPS with a USB connection? Will this allow auto shut-off if the MBA is asleep? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If you are using your computer during a brown-out you won't notice a thing because it has a battery. If there is a power-surge one of two things will happen: 1) the power adaptor will handle it, perhaps getting fried in the process or 2) it will be overwhelmed and the computer will also fry. Plugging the power adaptor into a high quality surge protector is a very good idea. Note: surge protectors do 'wear' out. Some have warning lights that indicate this has happened but the techs at work don't trust them. They recommend that you give yourself a new surge protector on your birthday.

Al that is left are the standard fixes:
- Reset the dock
- 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.

Hello kidmango,
I am going to have to agree with planb77. Look into other drivers in your computer causing the issue, not just the nano's drivers.
It is possible that security software is the culprit. Use this:
iTunes: Troubleshooting security software issues
You may have to restore your computer to a previous point. From before the issue started. Contact computer manufacture or Windows for steps, or do a search with a search engine.
I would test the ipod on a known good computer to see if its the ipod is the issue. My gut says no. You can set a reservation at an Apple Retail Store. Apple.com/retail .You can also test a known good ipod on your computer.
Hope this helps.
