Why can't I lock the screen in landscape?

When watching a movie I can't get the screen to lock in landscape position. Why not?

Use the screen rotation lock (the switch next to the volume control). See the iPad manual at http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/ipad_2_user_guide.pdf for details.

Why can't I change the screen orientation of my iPad?

I just upgraded my iPad to IOS 7.0.4. Suddenly it seems to be locked in portrait mode. I have tried turning the lock feature off and on, but that doesn't help. I am at a loss.

Unfortunately not. I found a work-around that allows me to use the device in landscape format. I use the accessibility settings in settings (under general) and turn "assistive touch" on. A white dot appears on the screen. When you click on that, you can rotate (and lock) the screen in any position you like.
It's not ideal, but so far it's all I've got. I'd like to bring it into a genius bar, but haven't had time.

Why can I not lock the Safari window to display?

Before Mavericks, the Safari window would always open on the last display to close one. In this way, I could lock the Safari window to my second display. With Mavericks, it always opens on the primary display--no matter what. The ability to open it on my display of choice made things easier as I could have Mail and Safari windows open simultaneously without one trying to cover the other.
I would like to see this ability restored.

Force close an app
Double tap the home button. When you see the app previews on the screen scroll sideways if needed to get the preview in question on the screen. Flick that preview up and off the screen to close the app. Single tap the home button or home screen preview to exit the mode.

Why can't I lock the control panel on M602's via webjetadmin 10.1?

1. Product Name and Number
HPM602
HP webjetadmin 10.1
Hi,
we administer a fleet onf HP printers mainly 4015s and 4250s, we are able toautomate lockin of these devices through the control panel on these using webjetadmin 10.1 however since we have put our fleet of M602's in we are unable to lock these via Jetadmin, we can via the web interface but we automate it 4 times a day in case students do a cold reset and attempt to print via IP.
Obviously that is a problem.
Any help appreciated.
Pete

HI Pete,
Your query is probably better suited to the HP Enterprise Community forum.
The M602 is not a consumer device. IT is marketed as a solution for medium to large workgroups..

Problems after upgrading to 4.2. Not able to lock the screen.

I updated the software of my IPad to 4.2 yesterday and I can now not lock the screen, so it does not turn when moving the ipad. The button that I used to lock the screen now turns the audio off/on.
Has anyone experience this problem and does anyone know how to solve it?
Many thanks,
Myra

4.2.1 is designed to operate that way.
The hardware switch does not turn the audio off/on. Rather, it turns the alerts (from email, etc.) on/off so that you can listen to music or movie sound without the annoying alerts.
If you need to lock the orientation, tap the Home button twice. When the "Recent" tray appears slide it to the right. A software switch is at the extreme left.

How to lock the screen position in iOS 7?

I know how to choose to lock the screen in landscape position, though now in iOS7 it doesn't lock. I've tried restarting from various settings (with it to start up in unlocked position, in locked position, in upright position etc.)

Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to display Control Panel.
Tap the Lock icon.

Why can I not adjust the volume on a video when accessed from the lock screen

Why can I not adjust the volume of a video in my pictures folder, when accessed from the new lock screen option?

There is no way to access videos directly from the lock screen.
What exactly is being attempted here?

Is there a way to lock the screen? Why did it copy all my iphone apps?

I really would like to lock the screen so it doesn't change position if I move it a little bit. Anybody know if this is possible?
Why the heck did it copy all of my Iphone apps onto itself even though I told it not too? Not too happy about that...
Otherwise I think it is absolutely amazing. The touch screen is very responsive. In fact, I think it is perfect.

There's a little switch above the volume buttons on the right side. Flip it and try turning the screen.

Not sure since we're not sure the processes you took to sync it. When its plugged into your computer and you are viewing it in iTunes you can go into the "Applications" tab and select which apps you want and don't want. On the main info page there is a checkbox that says sync apps automatically".
Cheers.

HT201401 Why does my 3GS have a white screen sometimes, and I have to lock the screen for it to go back to lock screen?

Why does my 3GS have a white screen sometimes, and I have to lock the screen for it to go back to lock screen? Sometimes I have to attempt the lock screen several times, and it still doesn't work. I, then, attempt to restart it by powering it down, and the lock screen will appear again. The display goes out sometimes while I am on a call, and I can't hang up. I have to go through this hole process over and over again.

The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
Restart... Reset... Restore from Backup... Restore as New...
Restart / Reset

If you try all these Steps and you still have issues... Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step... Be sure to make an appointment first...

Can't lock the screen anymore with a password

I can't lock the screen anymore since I installed Mavericks. I have assigned a password to the screensaver in the system preferences, but when I activate the screensaver on my iMac 8,1 it does not ask for the password when I wake it up from sleep. I have checked the option in the security preferences that the Mac should ask for a password immediately.
Any idea how the enable the password?

Okay, the problem is solved. I don't really know how - I just restarted the mac several times and now it works.
