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.

My iPad won't rotate anymore. It only allows me to use it either horizontally if watching a film, or one direction vertically if I am using the apps on the "desktop". How do I get it back the other way?

Out of blue - iPad won't rotate
All of a sudden yesterday my iPad stopped auto-rotating. I've tried several fixes. 1. Verified multiple times through both methods (side switch and double click home swipe) that the rotate lock was/is off. 2. Reboot (press and hold power and home buttons). 3. As a last resort prior to asking for help here, I did a full factory reset. My iPad now has nothing other than the iOS on it and it still will not rotate.
Purchased brand new in May 2012.
Any other suggestions? Try throwing it against the wall? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?

My iPad Won't Rotate after updating to iOS 6.
After updating to iOS 6, my iPad2 won't auto rotate. I already checked if the rotation was locked, so this isn't the case. I tried restarting it and rebooting it. The only possible way to rotate the screen is to turn off the iPad, rotate the iPad, then turn on the iPad again. Please help me, I don't know how to fix this problem.
I had same problem post upgrade to iOS 6.1.3
I went to
[Setting] [General] and set the
[Use_Side_Switch_To] option from [Rotation ...] to [Mute]
Checked switch by manually flipping the button on iPad cover (next to volume) back and forth and seeing images of mute actions appear sceen centre
But on checking further not all apps rotated automatically ... so ...
Manually closed all open apps by:
Screen button x2 in quick succession bottom bar appears with all active apps
Touch and hold on of these apps in this bar untill the x appears on them and the wobble
Close each one down by touching x
Then
Rebooted ( ... just like a Microsoft machine :-)
Now all working working ... boy you really miss that feature when its not functioning ...
Dont know if all steps relevant but this is what worked for me ...
... best of luck

IPad won't rotate. Lock is off both on switch and settings. Reset with no joy.
Need help with rotate on iPad II
For future reference, you might wish to keep in mind that the rotation lock control and system sound control are really confusing. Originally, the side switch was used for rotation lock control (and a soft switch for system sounds) but IOS-3 changed the switch so that it controlled system sounds in order to keep consistency among IOS devices (a soft switch controlled rotation lock). Then, for IOS-4, Apple made a serious mistake in attempting to pacify some whiners that actually claimed that they turned auto-rotate on and off fifty times/day and consequently the side switch is mandatory. The result is real disaster.
The following is a C&P from a post made by Demo. It's a better explanation that I can come up with.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

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.

My iPad won't rotate. I've already tried rebooting it, resetting all settings, and backing up my iPad and it still won't rotate. My lock rotation is not on. It is an iPad 4 and it is ios7.2.1 it has been happening for about a week now. Please help!
You probably have the screen locked in that way if you double click the home button fast you slide over once to the left. Your left. Then in the circle with an arrow it might have a lock icon if so then tap it if not then i am not sure how to fix this.
