Usually when I flip my iPad upside down.  The screen flips upsidedown to become upsideright.  It stopped doing that. Anyone know why ?

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 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.

  • When I try to select 'Mail, contacts, calenders' on my Ipad it just returns to the home screen so I can't create new email accounts.  Anyone know why?  Bob

    Your Settings app is crashing. Sometimes, the only way to fix this is by restoring the iOS software but hopefully it will not come to that.
    1. Quit the app completely and restart the iPad. 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 or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    2. Reset 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.
    3. You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.

    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears. When the red slider appears, release the Sleep/Wake button.
    Instead of dragging the red slider, press and hold the Home button for six seconds.

    Hello there, Adavidson137.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers some great clarification on display anomalies:
    About LCD display pixel anomalies for Apple products released in 2010 and later
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4044
    The following steps for troubleshooting iPhone display issues can also be useful for your iPad as well:

    Display image issues
    This can include bright or dark pixels, lines in video, or sections of video missing.
    Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
    Verify the issue is not content related, by viewing different content.
    If the image is too dark, adjust the brightness. In General Settings choose Brightness and Wallpaperand slide the slider.
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
    Contact Apple Support.

  • When I publish from ibooks author will the pages flip like my other books

    When I publish from ibooks author will the pages flip like my other books the preview only slides side to side

    Pages continue to slide rather than flip for the horizontal orientation.  In the vertical orientation, the text scrolls up-and-down like a web page (again as shown in iBooks Author if you change the previewed orientation).  I'm not sure why Apple went with the different GUI for their textbooks, but its the same for the ones authored by the big publishers.  If you want to see what the format is like on the iPad, there's a short free textbook (Wilson's Life on Earth) and sample chapters from others available from the iBookstore.
    On a side note, one interesting thing about using texts in the two different orientations is that the formating changes as well.  Figures that show up as larger embedded images in the horizontal layout are smaller images in the left margin in the vertical layout, at least in Wilson's book.

  • Why do my ipad turn blue (the screen) when i charged it?

    why do my ipad turn blue (the screen) when i charged it?

    Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank. Be patient, the device will power ON again in the normal way. It is app and data safe!]

  • Dear Apple Support,  Good day to you. This is to report the problem i encountered when i updated my Ipad mini to the new IOS 8.1..  After the update my Ipad restart and after that it appears a picture that need to connect to itunes and need  to resto

    Dear Apple Support,
    Good day to you.
    This is to report the problem i encountered when i updated my Ipad mini to the new IOS 8.1..
    After the update my Ipad restart and after that it appears a picture that need to connect to itunes and need  to restore. So i connect it to itunes and wait to restore my ipad mini because it is not opening.
    After restoring it my ipad is now opening and it is like new that i need to set up again.
    I set up again until i reach the apple id and password.
    I put my below apple ID and password to unlock my ipad but it didn't work. The message i receive is "the apple ID cannot be used to unlock this Ipad.
    What will I do? Please help.
    Thank you

    Dear Leslie J.,
    Your Apple ID was used to sign in to iCloud and iMessage on an iPad mini named “Leslie Joye's iPad”.
    If you have not recently set up an iPad with your Apple ID, then you should change your Apple ID password. Learn more.

    1. It is never a good idea to include personal info like your email address or Apple ID in a post on an open forum.
    2. The email you received DOES NOT say your Apple ID cannot be used to unlock this iPad. The email informs you that your Apple ID was used to unlock an iPad. Fortunately the iPad is yours. The message confirms that. If your Apple ID was used to unlock an iPad that was not yours your would then know to change your password. Since the iPad is yours you do not need to change your password.
    Is your iPad working?

    Did you select "Sign In with an Apple ID" as opposed to "Create a free Apple ID" when setting it up?

  • My macbook pro (August 2010) keeps freezing when apple mail starts up. This happens every 2nd time I turn on my Macbook Pro. This forces me to hold down the power button to restart my Macbook Pro. Does anyone else experience this, and is there a fix? Thx

    since upgrading to OS lion, my mac book pro (2010 August) keeps freezing (non responsive, requires restart) when i turn on my mac and the system is trying to open apple mail. while apple mail is attempting to collect new mail, the macbook pro freezes. this happens every 2nd time i try to start up my computer. this only started happening after i upgraded to OS lion. please let me know what I need to do to fix this. being forced to restart every 2nd time i turn on my macbook pro has been very frustrating. not sure if apple mail is also the cause of my macbook pro for being very slow during start-up (on the occasion the computer doesn't freeze).

    I am having similar 'freezing' problems with many programs (Mail, Safari, iTunes, etc.). I have done a clean install of Lion instead of an upgrade when it came out. Perhaps something went wrong with my install? I'm thinking about wiping and reinstalling.

  • I have just opened 2 new albums in photo but cannot see the albums thru' itunes when syncing my ipad or thru' the screen saver on ITV

    I have just opened 2 new albums in photo but cannot see the albums thru' itunes when syncing my ipad or thru' the screen saver on ITV . My photo apps is Version 1.0 (209.52.0)

    Have you tried deleting the photo cache from your computer and then re-trying the photo sync and see if they all then copy over (you need to select and sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go, as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad) ? The location of the cache, and how to delete it, is on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314
    Don't know about the Facebook photo emailing, but there are a number of apps that allow to upload photos to their site (e.g. the 'official' Facebook app).
    (For future info, typing all in capitals is considered SHOUTING - you are more likely to get help/responses if you don't.)

    Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    Power cycle the router.
    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

    taimsesasta, Not positive, but I was using a picture that had orange in it as my login icon, and when I changed it to a pic that was basically gray, the Apple logo no longer flashed orange. Somehow, it seems, that the Apple logo was momentarily picking up the orange color from my login art and then returning to its normal gray. That's all I know at this point.
