HT5012 What causes an IPAD 2 to orient to portrait instead of landscape inside apps?

What causes an IPAD 2 to not change to landscape orientation in apps? Is it broken or is there a setting not set correctly?

As said before, some apps must be run in a specific orientation, however, there is a setting to lock it in one or the other orientation. Getting to this setting can be achieved by several different ways depending on system model. The new IOS 7 has a menu that can be dragged upward from the bottom of the screen. The icon with the lock is your target.

My iPad has locked so the screen doesn't rotate!? How do I un lock it?

My iPad has locked so the screen doesn't rotate!? How do I un lock it?

when you flipped the switch did the roation icon appear in the middle of the screen for a moment?
one thing you can also try is...
Try doing a hard reboot
1. hold the power and home buttons down
2. you will see the "swipe to turn off" screen come up... KEEP HOLDING THE BUTTONS
3. The screen will go black (turn off)... KEEP HOLDING THE BUTTONS
4. A white Apple logo will appear on the screen, now you can release the buttons. Let the iDevice boot... should only take a couple minutes.

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Has any of this been tried?

HT4623 My iphone 5 seems to be stuck in the horizontal view when I'm in the message mode. In all other views I can turn the phone 90 degrees and horizontal to vertical works fine. Not sure what the problem is.

I found a solution!
Perhaps this is just temporary, but I have my display up and working again.
Although the symptoms are different were a bit different, the solution here worked:

As I was able to connect to my HD via an external monitor, in the finder, I went to:
1. Macintosh HD --> System --> Library --> Extensions
2. From there I moved all of the files that started with ADM and ATI (19 in total for me) to a folder on my desktop. (You will need to enter your admin password for this)
3. Next was a restart.
4. Then my display started working again.
5. After that, I transferred the files back into my Extensions folder.
6. I then did another restart with my fingers crossed and breath held. It worked.
Also... During the last few days of trying to find a fix, I restored a Mavericks backup to my computer away from Yosemite.
I'm very sure this problem occurred when I put my MBP to sleep, disconnected the power in its sleep, while something was connected to a USB port and unplugging the USB device (for me an iPhone charger) while the MBP was closed.
I hope this helps the next person.

My iPad2 won't stay in the horizontal view position

My iPad2 won't stay in the horizontal view position. I have it unlocked so I believe it should switch between views as I move it. Before I make a trip to the Apple store I want to make sure it's not user error!

Unlocked allows the screen to rotate as you rotate the device. Locked is supposed to keep the screen fixed in one orientation. However the function of the switch on the side can be swapped between orientation lock and mute, so it might not be perfoming the job you expect it to. Check Settings > General > Side Switch.

HT1689 What causes my iPad 3 to get so hot, thanks

What Causes the ipad3 to get so hot? Thanks jw

It has a larger battery and processor to handle the Retina display. 'Warm' is normal, 'Too hot to touch' is not. If it's literally burning hot, stop using it and take it into your local Apple store. If it's a handlable heat, it's just the fact that you have a processor a fraction of an inch and a sheet of aluminum from your skin. The iPad dissipates heat through that aluminum skin, which is why it gets warm.
