Unlocking portrait mode

Just purchased an iPhone 4 and it is locked in portrait mode. The lock on the multitasking screen in NOT set and I have restarted it after closing out all apps. Any idea how to fix this? Thanks.

Do the remaining troubleshooting steps described in the User Guide, Appendix B:
Reset phone
Restore in iTunes using a backup
Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
Restore in iTunes as new, without using a backup

  • My iPod is locked in the portrait mode, I have the portrait orientation unlocked, I restore it twice but no help.

    My iPod is locked in the portrait mode, I have the portrait orientation unlocked, I restore it twice but no help.

    I'm surprised that the restore does not fix it, which leads me to think that one of two things is going on:
    One, your acceleromter has malfunctioned. The only fix for this that I know of is to take it to a Genius Bar at an Apple Store.
    Two, you might not be holding the iPod Touch properly to make orientation work. You have to hold it vertically when you turn it if you want the orientation to change. The iPod should not be parallel to the ground, but perpendicular.
    Three, you may misunderstand how to manage the orientation function. When you bring up the running apps tray at the bottom, do you see the lock in the middle of the circular arrow? If you do, the orientation is still locked. tap it to make the lock disappear, and then open an app and see if it changes orientation
    See the two images below for locked and unlocked statuses.

  • My IPAD 2 is locked in the portrait mode I am unable to unlock it what do I do?

    My IPad is locked in the portrait mode.  All of the Icons are upside down (at the home buttton). OS is 5.0.1.  I can see a half circle with a lock in it.I have tried to double click this loc and nothing happens.  Under the Lock Rotation the side switch is set to mute.  Multitasking gesutres is on.  Anyone have any suggustions?

    As there is a lock symbol at the top of the screen then you have rotation lock on, and as the side switch is controlling notification mute, then you should be able to lock/unlock the rotation 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

  • [Android 4.3] Unlock screen orientation *always* turns to portrait mode - why?

    After booting the tablet, the unlock screen orientation is in landscape mode for some seconds but turns to portrait mode. And when screen turns off (or is turned off with the power button) the tablet wakes up in portrait mode - always. Very annoying, since I have to turn it 90°, enter my PIN, and turn it back again.
    Any help?

    So here is what I've found:
    - The installed lockscreen does support landscape mode. Since it is in landscape mode after booting the tablet for some seconds.
    - Some users report that editing build.prop and set 'lockscreen.rot_override = 1' should help. Didn't help in my case
    - Finally I bought a screen rotation lock app (Rotation Control). That did the trick.

    After attempting to watch a video, the iPad stayed stuck in landscape mode. None of the following helped: turning on & off, attempting to sync, shaking it around, using different apps. I finally did a Reset All Settings and it put the device back in portrait mode but now stuck there. Since all else has failed, I am about to do a Restore.
    Make sure the Screen Rotation Lock button on the side isn't locked.

  • Locked portrait mode

    Does anyone know how to unlock the screen from portrait mode?The only app that works is utube.I can't turn the phone say reading the NY Times in Safari.It doesn't turn so I can read it the long way.It shows locked on the screen all the time.Or am I missing something here?Thanks.

    Double tap the home button, then swipe the bottom of the screen to the left.  The first icon is the lock icon.  Tap that icon, and the orientation lock should be disabled.  Repeat the steps if you ever want to enable it again.

  • Locking portrait mode

    I somehow locked my display in portrait mode, and now can't find where to go to unlock it. I'm sure it's simple, but I'm just not finding it.
    thank you

    Do you have orientation lock turned on on the iPad?  You would see a little lock with a clockwise arrow going around it near the battery symbol on your iPads screen.

  • 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.

  • Is there a way to create and edit a video in portrait mode / 9:16 in Premiere Elements 12 or 13. Playback on an iPhone in portrait position.

    I'm editing iPhone app video for posting as the first screen in the Apple app store. Required size for the video is 750:1334, 9:16. I there a way to setup the initial video in portrait mode? Many posts for how to rotate a specific clip, but I need the whole video in portrait position. How to accomplish this? I'm using Windows 7 and Premiere Elements 12 and now 13.

    Thanks for giving this portrait Edit area monitor shape a look.
    I have Windows 7 64 bit and Windows 8.1 64 bit and have done the work using Premiere Elements 12/12.1 on Windows 7 64 bit.
    Here is a step by step
    Find the DSLR [email protected] file
    Local Disk C\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Elements 12\Settings\SequencePresets\NTSC\DSLR\1080p\
    And, in that 1080p Folder is the DSLR 1080p30@ 29.97.sqpreset file that you seek.
    1. Copy the
    DSLR 1080p30@ 29.9.sqpreset fileI
    and paste it to the computer desktop in a newly created folder named 1920p.
    2. Open the 1920p Folder and edit the ..sqpreset file in Notepad.
    To do that right click the .sqpreset, and, from the pop up, select Open With and then Notepad.
    3. In the Notepad document, you are going to edit in only 2 places for now, switching 1920 and 1080 to 1080 and 1920 at the top and bottom
    sections of the Notepad document.
    Then go specifically File Menu/Save of the Notepad document and hit Save.
    4. At this point, you have the edited.sqpreset file in the 1920p Folder on the computer desktop.
    (Change the name of the edited .sqpreset file so that it = DSLR [email protected])
    Move the 1920p Folder from there to add it to the 1080p Folder, the location where you found the original .sqpreset file that you edited.
    Close out of there.
    5. Back in the Premiere Elements 12/12.1, manually set the project preset to the new project preset
    6. When you import your 1080 x 1920 9:16 video file into the project and drag it into the Timeline, you should see
    Note that there is no orange line over that Timeline content, indicating that you are seeing
    the best possible preview of the image.
    7. As I wrote before,
    But, here is the hang up. If I render the Timeline content to get the best possible preview at the Edit level, the video in the Edit area monitor
    squeezes in resulting in black borders to the left and right of the video image on screen.
    But, otherwise I found I had no problems editing or exporting, just had to keep away from Timeline rendering for previewing after an edit. Need to find the missing ingredient for 100%.
    I will be writing this up in my blog in a more organized fashion including how I got the project preset description in Change Settings to agree with the changes. Probably I will do that in the morning.

    Shot videos ONLY in landscape. For photos choose what's you like. Maybe you have to rotate photos on PC. What's your operating system?

  • Can I run two Dell 24" monitors with iMac 27" (5750) in portrait mode

    Hi there, want to putchase the 5750-based iMac 27", but I have a pair of Dell 24" monitors I want to run with it, preferably both in portrait mode. Is this possible? Or if not, is it possible with some sort of adaptor/external graphics card?
    Thanks kindly for any help:)
    Shawn

    HI Shawn Glibson,
    the imac has one video output. a 30 dollar adapter can be used to hook up a DVI display. (mini-display to dv adapter)
    But you can add additional displays through a USB to DVI adapter. For instance see2 xtreame uv200 http://www.trittontechnologies.com/index.php/products/usbvideotechnology/see2-xtreme-uv200/ This is a great solution if you want to have another display for websites, office documents. a USB to DVI adapter isn't that great for 3D games.
    I hope that helps
    TT
