The screen on my ipad2 won't rotate.

I have checked settings, the button on the side and double clicked the home button. It is not locked! Can anyone help?

I had the same thing...gyro only work when iPad was off... In other words to get it to orient the way I wanted, i would have to turn it off, rotate it, then turn it back on.... But no way would it rotate while turned on. Was afraid to reset because feared would lose all my data. Because it functioned when turned off, figured it was a software problem not a hardware problem. Wondered if new iTunes loaded yesterday messed it up... Was searching many forums for a clue when noticed someone mentioned gyro only worked when in an app that specifically used it. I turned on my starwalk app and voila! Gyro worked perfectly in it.... And now it works in everything. Suggest something in booting the starwalk app refreshes gyro control.

TS4009 The error that my icloud account is full and need more storage stays on the screen of my Ipad2. It won't allow me to get more, turn it off or do anything on it. Help!!

Reset: Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons until the screen goes dark and the Apple logo appears
Then do some house cleaning in iCloud (or purchase more storage)
Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage > Select a device if more that one > Show All Apps and turn off some apps that you don't need or care to be backed up.
Also, connect to iTunes and empty your Camera Roll onto your computer. Photos & videos tend to eat up a lot of space.

Why won't my iPhone rotate 90 degrees in ios7? It will go to landscape only. I have to place my phone upside down to charge in a stNd I have; I could read the screen in iOS 6 as it rotated that way. Now I can't do this???

It will go to landscape and then back to right-side-up portrait. I have to place my phone upside down to charge in a stand I have; I could read the screen in iOS 6 as it rotated that way. Now I can't do this. What happened?

Start with contacting AT&T to see if they can fix it.
If not, restoring your phone, first from a backup, then as new, would be the next steps.

After I updated to iOS 5.1, my iPad2 won't rotate anymore.

I updated to iOS 5.1. the other day, and my iPad2 won't rotate anymore even if the screen is not locked. I went to service center, and after testing the iPad's accelerometer playing some game, the guy at the service center thought that it is not a hardware problem, but more on the 5.1 update. Weird thing is, I enabled the "assistive touch" feature's "rotate screen" function, and the screen rotates, although with prompting. That is, it will rotate only after I choose or unchoose to either "rotate screen" to portrait or left or right. Anyone else who has experienced this? Any suggestions how to fix this?

First of all, check again at "Settings > General" and view the Side Switch configuration.
If "Mute" is selected, then double-click the Home button, swip right the icon bar at the bottom and confirm the "Lock Rotation" icon is not locked.
If "Lock Rotation" is selected, then turn the Side Switch a couple of times in order to force the rotation again.
I hope this will help you.
Kind regards

How to mirror the screen from one ipad2 to another ipad2?

How to mirror the screen from one ipad2 to another ipad2?
When writing in f.ex. Pages on one iPad i wish to see it in realtime on the other ipad.
How is that done???

That functionality is not built into the iPad, so you'd need a third-party app of some sort. I'm not aware of any app that allows mirroring from one iPad to another iPad, but perhaps someone else will know of something I've missed.
Regards.

I've cleaned the screen and now it won't unlock

i've wiped the screen and now it won't respond to the number unlock pad...any ideas

Thanks for the info....i've tried this serval times and it hasn't cured the problem..........it's like it reconises the touch but does do anything i.e no number appear...so it won't unlock.....thanks for your advice though......I think it needs Apple to look at it......

TS3274 My screen on my ipad won't rotate

My screen won't rotate it is only sideways and won't turn horizontal

Is there a lock symbol at the top of the screen next to the battery indicator ? If there is, then depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (rotation lock or mute notifications), then you can lock/unlock the rotation by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad above the volume switch, or
iOS 7 : via control centre : swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen and it's the right-most of the 5 icons in the middle of it (if the icon is white then it's 'on', tap it to turn it grey and 'off').
iOS 6 and below : via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar.
The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085
If there isn't a lock symbol then try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

HT4085 Did everything in the arcticle and app still won't rotate. The same app rotates for coworkers

Did everything discussed in the article and the app still will not rotate. Coworkers with the same app do not have this issue

If you haven't got rotation lock on (other apps and/or the homescreen rotate ?) then try closing the app that isn't rotating via the taskbar and see if it rotates when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't fix it then also try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

This is a problem. The new layout for apple mail in iCloud shows the body of a mail or any attachments on the right half of the screen. But it won't print just the attachment, it prints the whole email page, cutting off the bottom of the attachment.

Even if I try to 'screen shot' just the attachment, the view won't move down as I enlarge the 'screen shot' to get all of the attachment. Previously, I could "SAVE" the attachment and only the attachment would be saved. Now the whole email page including the address info from the top is saved, so when I try to print what should be an 8.5x11 attachment the bottom of it won't print because the top 2" include the email address info.
Suggestions?

That's one of the weird things.. it recognizes it maybe 10% of the time. And usually, only after I do the two-button reset. Problem is.. since it won't charge above 2%, anytime I try to do a restore or anything like that using iTunes, my device shuts off and I lose whatever progress I'd made.
So, an update... after reading through a bunch of similar complaints (there are literally 1000's of them so there's NO WAY this isn't somehow ios7 related, thanks a lot APPLE ) I decided to try a restore in recovery mode. After 3 hours and several disconnections... I ended up having to just set it up as a new iPad, as the restore did nothing. Weirdly though... as I was doing the restore in recovery mode.. I noticed I'd gotten up to a 10% charge.. higher than it's been since September, so after setting it up as a new device, I turned it off and plugged it in using the wall charger. 2 hours later and I was up to 38%. Still not great, as my iPad, before ios7 could've fully charged twice in the amount of time it took for me to now get 28% more of a charge. And that's with a fully cleaned out device.. so that really ***** and I'm now more confused than ever.
But I'm gonna leave it overnight charging and see what I come up with tomorrow. Sadly, when I paid $600 for it in February, I never expected to have to play "wait and see" with it...

HT1378 screen is locked and won't rotate, how do I unlock it?

The screen of my iPhone won't turn on but the touch is still responsive

I went to sleep with my iPhone 4s next to me. When I woke up my phone would not cut on. Siri still works and I can still unlock my phone but the screen won't cut on. The touch is still on though because I can put my pass code in and unlock my phone. I've already tried holing down the home button and power button AND charging it. Neither of them worked.

Try this First... No Data will be Lost..
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...
More > Frozen or unresponsive iPhone

HT1146 Can't see the body of my emails, it show the email name and the two line preview , but doesn't show any of the MSG on the right side of the screen. Using ipad2

Can't see any email messages, the email and 2 line preview show, but no message or attachments, why?

Try closing the Mail app completely and see if the emails show when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
