Stuck on portrait view

My iPad mini (about a month old) won't automatically change to landscape view in any apps or portals. The menu does, but once I click on an app or portal it reverts back to portrait view. How can I get it to do it automatically as it used to?
Thanks

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
Also make sure that you do not have "Rotation Lock" turned on.

HT4085 Did all of these options as instructed. Screen still doesn't rotate and remains stuck in portrait view

Did all of these options as instructed. Screen still doesn't rotate and remains stuck in portrait view. Help?

Not sure what you've already tried. Have you locked it using the Side Switch then accidentally changed the side switch to permit Muting/Unmuting?
Settings > General > Use Side Switch to: Lock Rotation (make sure check box is here).
Then try sliding the side switch. Also try turning off the device by holding the power and home buttons, then sliding the red slider to the right (then repower).

Ipod touch stuck on portrait view - any ideas?

My iPod touch has started to refuse to switch to Portrait view.
It will use landscape when the App concerned is set in that view, but otherwise not.
I can't find where there is any help about this.
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks,
SD

Double click Home button to bring up the multitaskbar. Swipe multitaskbar to the right till you see the music icon. Tap the left most icon with the circle arrow to lock/unlock orientation.

Camera Video and Photo Playback Stuck in Portrait Mode

When viewing video or photos recorded with my new 4G iPod Touch (within the Camera App) the orientation of the playback is stuck in portrait mode. No matter how I rotate the Touch the orientation of the video or photo playback stays in portrait mode. Wondering how to get the content to rotate to landscape mode for viewing? When using other apps on my Touch, rotating the Touch works fine (ie. the app switches to landscape mode). Have already tried locking and unlocking the Orientation Lock but this has no effect on the Camera App playback. Any assistance would be appreciated.

My wife's 4th gen did this last night. I had to reboot it to get it to act normal again. I saw that happen once before on either my 3rd gen touch or my iPhone 4, but I forget which it was. In that case it needed a reboot as well.

Try switching it back from landscape to vertical. Or, go to settings and see if you have any special setting turned on that enable only landscape view. Also, try hooking it up to your computer and charging it to see what happens.

Calendar app stuck on year view

iPhone 4S running OS 8.1 - Calendar app stuck in year view. Shows todays date in red but when you try to go to "Today" nothing happens. Any thoughts?

There is more than one place to change time. If you set the time to local, you need to go into Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendar>scroll down to the bottom under calendar and set the time zone support there for the local time zone.

Album art isn't right only on ipod in portrait view

I recently installed Windows 7 on my PC and to do that I had to uninstall iTunes from that computer. since then after reinstalling iTunes it has been all messed up. most of my album artwork doesn't match up on my iPod Touch after i sync. Some albums covers have a collage of four album covers (none of which are for that album). Also it keeps having me authorize my computer and keeps asking me to transfer my purchases from my iTouch. It has done this several times! and since im on my last authorized computer it worries me that one day it won't work. Any suggestions?
it is the right art on iTunes, but on my iTouch in the portrait view its wrong, in landscape its right and when i look at the other songs on the album in portrait the album in the upper corner is wrong as well.

yes i have tried that several times. i'd never had a problem with album art until i had to uninstall iTunes to install windows 7.

Calendar stuck in year view

On my iphone 4 using ios7.02 the calendar is stuck in year view. There are no tabs. I can't escape. I tried quitting and restoring the phone, that did not work. How do I get back to the classic month view with the tabs?

At the top of the calendar there is supposed to be a set of tabs for view: day, list, month, year. On my phone, it is stuck in a year view with no tabs at the top.
In IOS7 the interface has changed, the year view do not have any tabs on top except Search (lupe icon) and a plus sign ( + ) on the right. If you hold the iPhone in Landscape mode (horizontally) you get a week's view.

Print iCal Calendar - ? Portrait View

Is there a way to print my iCal Calendar in Portrait View other than saving it as a .pdf file & then printing?
I cannot find the Portrait - Landscape options when printing in iCal.
Many thanks!
...John

sp_64,
Are you found of the Month View look. Because you can print in list view and add more days. How many days you can print on a page depends on the details and how many events you have. But it will give you your location information. I will continue to look into it but that is what I've found so far.
Hope that helps,
Weston

Calendar stuck in weekly view

The calendar on my iPhone 4 is stuck in weekly view. I can not get it to bring up the menu to switch to monthly.

At the top of the calendar there is supposed to be a set of tabs for view: day, list, month, year. On my phone, it is stuck in a year view with no tabs at the top.

Why is "Calendar" stuck in "Month View"?

For some reason, Calendar on my iPhone refuses to get back into daily view (which is what I used in the past). Instead, it is stuck in month view or, if I turn it sideways, shows 3 days at a time. I can go even further out to year view (arrow top left) and back to month view by tapping anywhere inside the calendar. But tapping on a date within the month view just highlights that date. I can add a LIST at the bottom of the display by tapping the 3rd icon from the right, but I don't get an overview of my day (with a timeline indicating present time) as I used to. Is this a new feature? (In which case, a curse be upon you, Apple) Or a bug? (how to fix?) Or am I just too stupid (a distinct possibility…)? I've tried tapping every icon on the screen, swiping in all 4 directions, and even looking under "Settings" - but I can't find a way out. Help anyone?

Thanks for the link. I found the following relevant line there:
Change your view. Tap a year, month, or day to zoom in or out on your calendar.
That's exactly what I tried - tapping on a day, but the view didn't change (except the list at the bottom showed the newly selected day).
However, I finally figured it out: tapping the day in "month view" ONLY works if there is NO list displayed at the bottom. So once I toggled the list view off (by tapping the 3rd icon from the right, at top), I could change into the customary day view by tapping on the day. Strange! Maybe that should be explicitly stated in the page you quoted

IPhone 6 Plus Stuck in Portrait Mode Only

Today, my iPhone 6 Plus stopped switching to landscape mode and only works in portrait. The glitch is even there when watching a video in, say, the CNN or IGN Apps.
I know the iPad has a switch to lock the screen rotation, but didn't think the phone had this?
Has anyone else had trouble with their new phone being stuck in portrait?

For me, it was as simple as that lock button, which I'd not noticed before, but yes, a hard restart usually fixes most issues. I did a restart first, so it spooked me when even that didn't work; which is why I posted.
I've also downloaded 8.2 and feel that it has fixed a few bugs I'd noticed. love the phone too. My case finally came, it's the Griffin Reveal; picked it up from that big online retailer.
The Plus has had some tough press for some reason, but I love it!

Widget disappears in portrait view

Why don't some of my widgets show in portrait view? according to IBA help, "widgets always appear in both orientations, no matter what kind of object they are." One is a movie on a foreword page, one is a photo on a chapter cover page, and the other is a quiz. All other photo's and movies in the book are fine.

To view your Widgets in Portrait mode, open the Inspector, click the Layout Inspector button and select Show Thumbnail Track option at the bottom of the panel. This shows the sidebar area to the left side of the text frame and the Widgets will appear. You can drag them up and down to reposition them as needed.

TS3274 My Ipad display is stuck on portrait mode. I tried the toggle switch, turning off and restart and just now backed up into Itunes and restored and still is stuck on portrait mode and it won't flip to landscape mode. Is this a hardware problem?

Has lock rotation been accidentally enabled within the control centre? If you swipe up the screen is there a circle with a lock symbol & if so is is greyed out or white - if white it is enabled.
