When I open my apps my screen won't rotate

When I open my apps my screen won't rotate

Any apps in particular? Some apps are designed to display exclusively in one orientation or the other. While that isn't the norm, it is also not unusual.
Have you checked how the orientation/Mute function is set?
Lastly, try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

  • My camera will not work when I open the app the screen is blank

    When I turn on the camera app the screen is blank, any suggestions

    Try closing the Camera app completely and see if the camera works when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Camera app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Camera app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work also do 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.

  • I have spotty signal at my home, so some functions don't work until I leave the house. I noticed on the main screen, it says I have 54 emails, but when I open the app, I only have 4. I powered down and back up. No fix. What gives?

    Im having this same problem an my phone is about 3 weeks old. I am not sure about the voice over part though...I have not yet figured out how to work the voice recognition part of the phone...I am such a newbie with this phone. I did the power off/on suggestion, several times. I tried leaving it off for 10 minutes. Tried to reset with the power on/off and home button pressed at the same time. Charged battery. Still makes no difference. You cannot scroll any direction. Have to double click to open apps. Have to double click letters when texting or emailing in order to get the letter in the text box. Can scroll through app choices, have to click on the line with the dots in it and move from page to page. Can't access the settings - > general - > accessibility - because it won't allow me to scroll down to "general".
    Anyone help you with your fix yet?

    Remote app on my iOS devices control my apple tv, but won't turn my newest gen apple tv on when i open the app. It used to turn my previous gen apple tv on. Remote app controls apple tv just fine once i turn it on with the provided remote control. Help?

    Hello CournteyGould3,
    Congratulations on your new Apple TV!  I found an article with steps you can take when your remote app can't connect to the Apple TV.  I recommend following the steps in the article below (you can skip any steps you have already taken):
    Remote app for iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch can't connect to iTunes or Apple TV

  • Hi.. I have an Iphone 4 but when I open the app store, the only thing that appears is a white screen. it doen't let me see or do anything . what can I do?

    Hi I have an Iphone 4 and when I open the app store, all that appears is a white screen. I can't do anything? what can I do?

    Try a hard reset. Hold Power button and home button until it restarts. Hold both till the Apple logo is displayed. Do not slide power off.
    If that does not work you may need to restore.

  • When I open an app, it exits out of the app and returns to the home screen.

    When I open up apps, it exits out and returns to the home screen.

    That's not true. In most cases this is a memory issue and in some cases simply a bug. Most often it can be corrected by either resetting the iPad or closing all other apps and restarting the app in question.
    You can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.

    I have the same problem.  Closed App Store after double tapping Home button twice. I tried logging out of App Store and back in. Also did App Store updates in computer and updated everything when i synced iPhone with iTunes. Nothing works. App Store updates still frozen in iPhone.

  • IOS 8.1 empty screen when I open my Apps

    Hello
    When I open my apps I have my screen of Loading and after nothing !
    I work with inDesign CC 2014, DPS App Builder 3.2.1
    Inside my Indesign Document you have an full .oam, a button of sound.
    It works well on iOS 7
    Thanks for your help

    Hi,
    My apps has been rejected from review.
    From Apple :
    2.2: Apps that exhibit bugs will be rejected
    ----- 2.2 -----
    We found that your app failed to launch on iPad Air running iOS 8.1 on both Wi-Fi and cellular networks.
    Please see screenshot.
    We encountered the issue when selecting the application on the Home screen - the app displayed a launch image then quit unexpectedly. This may be because iOS 8 uses a watchdog timer for applications; if an application takes too long to complete its initial startup, the operating system terminates the application.
    For information about the watchdog timer, please see Technical Q&A: Application does not crash when launched from debugger but crashes when launched by user..
    Another possibility could be a missing entitlement. For more information, please see the Technical Note: Resolving "0x800003A", applications not launching and "missing entitlement".For discrete code-level questions, you may wish to consult with Apple Developer Technical Support. When the DTS engineer follows up with you, please be ready to provide:
    - complete details of your rejection issue(s)
    - screenshots
    - steps to reproduce the issue(s)
    - symbolicated crash logs - if your issue results in a crash log
    If you have difficulty reproducing a reported issue, please try testing the workflow as described in Technical Q&A QA1764: How to reproduce bugs reported against App Store submissions.
    Now I'm blocked.
    I'm not a developer that"s why I'm using your solution and product.
    For me the mix of Edge Animate and DPS with Indesign is the only solution to do what I want.
    Now what solution are you giving to me ?
    And I pay for this solution, but if it doesn't work why I still continue.
    The people could not see my Apps on iOS 8 so they think that it is not a good Application !
    I'm waiting for your answer and for a solution ASAP
    Thank you.

  • Bought my 1st iPhone today (4S)  Just started using for less than 5 minutes and it has a voice command that talks on Everything and the pages wont scroll up and down and cant change screens from the page it boots on.  Wrong apps open when I open an app...

    So I bought my wife our 1st iPhone 4S today w/ Verizon.  I booted it up and it started having a voice repeat every command, and function (no, its not Siri).
    BTW...  Siri doesn't work, I can't scroll in the settings, when I open an app it actually opens the wrong app, and I can't find a way do fix any of it.  I tried a hard boot by holding down the power button and the button on the lower midddle of the phone.  When it rebooted, it got worse.  Now what?
    Not too excited about switching phones if this has already begun...  Any advice would be appreciated.

  • One of my apps won't update. A message comes up saying "The item you tried to buy is no longer available", but when I open the app, it works.

    I looked at my iphone 4 and I had two apps that needed to be updated. I pressed "Update All", but only one of them updated. The other, which is the HauteLook app, didn't, and has the little red 1 on my app store application. When I open the app store, it says it needs to be updated. When I press update or update all, the little bar shows up, then a message comes up saying "The item you tried to buy is no longer avaliable". I pressed ok, and it still says it has to be updated. I have opened the app and used it, so it's not broken. I have turned off my phone and turned it back on, and the notification that I need to update it is still there. I have tried restarting my phone, and it's still there. I have also tried plugging my phone into my computer to see if the update shows up iTunes, but it doesn't. I have had my phone for almost 2 years and this has never happened to me before. I did just recently get the IOS 6 update, but since having it, I have had to update apps and never got this message until now. If anyone has any idea how to fix this I would really appericate the help!

    I suggest trying the update again after an hour or two.  Sometimes, the notice that an update is available comes an hour or two before the developers actually sends the revised app out to be downloaded.

  • I can't use Photobooth - when I open the app, I get the message: "Photo Booth couldn't save your photos - Photo Both encountered an error when trying to save your photos. You photos cannot be saved at this time."

    Back up all data.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
    I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box markedAllow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
    Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
    { sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use  another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
    You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command may take a few minutes to run, or perhaps longer if you have literally millions of files in your home folder. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

  • Iphone 4 with latest OS keeps crashing when I open facebook app can someone advise?

    My iphone 4 with latest OS keeps crashing when I open facebook app can someone advise? This is only happeining in the last few days I cannot use facebook on my iphone it crashes and slows down our network/wifi, is this a problem with facebook (latest version downloaded) or OS which is 6.1.3 - anyone any solutions? Thanks

    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    If that doesn't work quit the Facebook app. Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the app in question until it jiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal. Then delete the Facebook app and download it again.
