The screen orientation won't change even though it shows orientation as unlocked

the screen orientation won't change even though it shows orientation as unlocked on the bottom of the screen and when I release the side button. Any ideas?

If rotation lock is not set (i.e. there is no lock symbol next to the battery indicator at the top of the screen, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085), 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.

Have you tried clearing Safari? Clear Safari, close Safari completely and reboot your iPad. Try again.
Go to Settings>Safari>Cookies and Data.
If you are running iOS 5 or iOS 6 you close apps like this. Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice.
If you are running iOS 7, you close apps this way. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reboot 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

HT1498 My rented movie won't play, even though it shows "rented". What gives?

My rented movie won't play, even though it shows "rented". What gives?

I have a similar issue. My Dell Latitude is running Windows Pro 8.1 and iTunes 11.1.3.8. It looks like it's playing, but it isn't.
Things seemed to work fine before the 8.1 update. I fear I will have to rollback to 8.0 because the sound no longer works on the computer unless you use the headphone jack.
Podcasts and music behave the same way, they appear to be playing, but the timer is not progressing for them either.
This may be the combination of 8.1 and 11.1.3.8

When I start up Firefox, it comes up with cursor at search line, but I cannot just start typing. I have to click on the line before I can type even though cursor showed up there when I started Firefox up. This is a little inconvenient.

I have to click on Firefox search line when I first start Firefox up even though the cursor is already blinking there when Firefox starts.

As you can see from the [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Using+themes+with+Firefox using themes with Firefox] article, personas are "''lightweight themes that can change the color scheme and background image of the Firefox toolbars''" and they wouldn't change the webpages.
If you don't like seeing Google as your home page you might want to look at [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page how to set the home page] and change it.
Finally Firefox 3.5.x will be maintained with security and stability updates until August 2010, so you might want to [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Updating+Firefox update to a newer version].

Windows keeps asking if I want to allow the program to make a change even though cc 2014 is installed.

Just installed CC 2014. It shows in my Start menu with the install shield. Whenever I attempt to open CC 2014, I get a dialogue box asking if I want to allow the program to make changes to the computer. I have uninstalled and reinstalled and can't get it to go away.

This would only happen if you never installed it with sufficient administrative privileges and the user permissions are not set correctly. therefore reinstall it as admin.

HT1338 The latest OS7 won't load even though WiFi is enabled

Apple is pushing an iOS update to my 5c, but it won't load. WiFi is on and working.

You'd get more knowledgeable answers if you post in the iPhone or iOS forum - this is the Mac OS Mavericks forum (OS for computers).

TS1538 My iPhone has completely frozen. I can't turn it off and it has the itunes with plug on the screen and won't change.

Can someone please help. I have an iphone 5 and in the middle of texting it just turned off and back on and has the itunes musiv image on the front screen with the cable to plug it in. Completely frozen and it doesn't do anything when I plug into itunes.

DVD won't eject, even though it shows up on the Desktop

Got this iMac just before the intel iMacs came out. Everything has been working fine until now. My brother put an apparently really thin DVD in the drive, its recognized and will play in DVD Player. But when I press the eject button, all I here is it spinning. After that it obviously falls back into the DVD slot and DVD player automatically opens up and starts to play the DVD.
Any ideas?
thanks alot.

*Have you tried any of the following:*
The Eject Key on your keyboard?
The Eject option in Disk Utility?
Launch Disk Utility (Finder>Go>Utilities), select the ‘stuck disc’ in the volume list on the left & then either click the "Eject Button, Press Command+E or choose File>Eject Disk.

I-Photo won't open even though I have upgraded to OS X Yosemite and downloaded the I-Photo upgrader.
But have you run the the iPhoto Library upgrader? It is installed in Applications > Utilities. Launch it and direct it to your iPhoto library.
Which version of iPhoto did you upgrade from?
The upgrader is only necessary, if you have been running iPhoto7.1.2 or earlier.

When I touch the email icon there is a draft email stuck on the screen that won't go away if I delete or save it. I've already tried deleting and resetting the email account which didn't work. How do I get rid of it?

I have the new iPad 3 and every time I touch the email icon there is a draft message stuck on the screen that won't disappear even if I touch save or delete. I've tried removing the email account and putting it back on which didn't work either. How do I get this draft to disappear?

Reboot 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.
Or Quit the mail app.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button.
Go back to mail and see if it is fixed.

I've upgraded to OS 10.8.2 and my Bowers and Wilkins MM-1 Speakers were working fine until today, and now they won't play any sound at all, even though iTunes shows the audio is playing. I've tried both the headphone jack and the USB port. Please help!

Thank you,

Michael,
Thanks. I haven't mixed down the audio or checked the number of tracks in Prefs. Good points.
As far as a mixdown goes, I'll definitely give it a try, though I wonder whether or not the tracks will be recognized during mix down recording - given that you can't hear either of those segments in playback. Just have to try.
Re the preferred number of allowed tracks - I'll go check as soon as I send this off, but I'm not sure that applies in this case, since the two Channels containing the segments that are pinked out are not in additional tracks. I should have mentioned that other audio clips and segments on the same Channels in the SAME tracks ARE heard in playback. As are two additional track in the 2nd Sequence. It's only when the two sequences are joined that the pink tinted segments can't be heard. Within the sequence the same audio cuts playback as they should. Thanks again &
Best regards,
David

On my iPhone 5, the battery symbol and percentage won't change, even while charging or during usage throughout the day. The battery is however charging and draining properly from what I can tell.

Has anyone had this issue or know of a fix?
Thanks

Try this
Restart iPhone: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for phone to restart (no data will be lost).
Using the phone while charging doesn't create a problem.. I do it all the time

If I'm copying text and/or vector elements from Indesign to Photoshop how come their pixel sizes change even though I opened the same sized document and my indesign file is a web file?

>my indesign file is a web file
Pardon?
Or do you mean that, when you created a new document, you choose Web as intent maybe?

The screen orientation won't change even though it shows orientation as unlocked
