Why dosen't the screen rotate as it did earlier today?

My iPad's been in a case for about 10 months, tookit out earlier todat and now it no longer rotatates depanding in the screen orientation. Oh, and when it opens where it used to, clicking on an icon rotates the screen 180 degrees. It's getting and I'm getting p***ed that it dosen't work!
What could possibly have gone wrong?

  • Why dosen't the screen turn when i turn the ipad

    why dosen't the screen turn when i turn the ipad

    If you see a lock icon in the upper right corner of the screen - then the screen orientation is locked.
    Try the side switch above the volume rocker first and see if that unlocks the screen. If that doesn't do it, double tap the home button and swipe to the right and look for the lock icon all the way to the left.
    If the screen is unlocked but still will not rotate, reset the iPad.
    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 button

  • Why no ASR (Automatic Screen Rotation) for the N95...

    I saw that Nokia implemented the ASR for the upcoming version of the N95 8GB, v.20.0.016
    Why wasn't it implemented in v.21.0.016 of
    the N95-1 (RM-159) ?
    Will it be implemented in the final version? (i hope)

    I often wonder if rotate me was actually samir's (the creator of rotateme) idea?
    Did he think it up himself or did he see an N82 prototype in action with ASR?
    Did nokia "borrow" samir's idea and use it in the N82?
    All I can say is that I prefer the built-in ASR.
    Well I don't think any of us like not having automatic screen rotation. Although I'd rather if there was an option to change the way the screen rotates. For example, the screen splashes like water or something that's more interesting than a boring "blink".
    That's right people, I'm back. Where have I been? I have been getting a life, away from this electric madness.

  • After updating to iOS 8.3, seem like the wifi signal got worst. The screen rotation is still as bad

    sseem like the updates which were pushed didn't do any much hel, the wifi signal was even weaker than before, at times I will be totally disconnected from my home wifi.
    And the screen rotation... i don't see any difference to it.

    Mine won't even rotate now. So I have not scientific calculator. Apple support recommends backup and restore.
    If the screen doesn't rotate on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    iOS software used to be so bullet proof, but iOS 8 is a dog. It's like working with windows. I wish I could downgrade. My wife's phone is at iOS 6 and I'm leaving it there. it works better than mine.

  • A small symbol has come up on my i phone 4 left hand side of the battery. looks like a small padlock with an arrow going round it. i cannot seem to get rid of it? it was not there originally. i understand its the lock that stops the screen rotating.

    A small symbol has come up to the left of the battery symbol. i have found out that this is the screen rotation lock. not sure hoe this has been turned on and i cant seem to turn it off. I read that there is a button above the volume control on the i pad which turns it off, but this does not work on the i phone4?

    Try this:
    -double click the Home button: this will make the System Tray appear at the bottom of the screen.
    -if you do not see the screen orientation lock button then flick to the right: once you see the screen orientation lock button, just tap it. That will change it back.
    I hope this helps!

  • The screen rotation is locked... not sure how to get that unlocked?!

    Hello, the screen rotation is locked on my ipod touch. I have no idea how it got that way and can not find how to turn it off.  Please help!

    Double click on the home button to open the multitask bar, swipe to the right until you see the play controls for music, right next to it is the Orientaion lock icon. Tap on it to disable it, close the multitask bar again by clicking the home button.

  • Why doesn't the screen respond in bottom part

    why doesn't the screen respond in bottom part

    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.
    If they fail to resolve the issue, this would tend to indicate a hardware issue.

  • How do I unlock the screen rotation on the iPhone 5c

    How do I unlock the screen rotation on the iPhone 5c?

    Hi patty,
    Slide up from the bottom of the Home screen to display the Control Panel. On the far right is the screen rotation lock icon. Click on that. It will display that the touch either locked or unlocked it.

  • How does one unlock the screen rotation?

    How does one unlock the screen rotation?

    If there is a lock symbol at the top of the screen next to the battery indicator 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, 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.

  • How do I UNLOCK the screen rotation? It's stuck in horizontal and I don't know what I did!

    How do I UNLOCK the screen rotation? I'm stuck in horizontal and don't know how it happened!

    In settings check to see if you have Screen Orientation checked or System Sounds checked.  If you have Screen Orientation checked, there is a button above the volume control on the right side of your iPad (screen facing you).  Click it the other way and your screen will again rotate.
    If you have system sounds checked in settings, then on your home page, double tap the home button.  The bottom row will be your most recently used Apps.  Swipe them to the right until the very last icon and it will be a screen orientation icon, which you'll tap and that will allow your iPad to change orientation.

  • I cannot unlock the screen rotation of my iPhone 5. I double click on bottom button, slides to right, but sliding to left doesn't show the rotation icon

    I cannot unlock the screen rotation of my iPhone 5. I double click on bottom button, recently used icons appear. It slides to the right, but sliding to left doesn't show the rotation icon.

    You swipe up from the very bottom of your home screen to access the control center - if your on IOS 7
    The way your trying was the old way.

  • After ios7 upgrade to my 4s, touch interface keeps freezing on me and the screen rotation feature us completely dead. Any ideas?

    After ios7 upgrade to my 4s, touch interface keeps freezing on me and the screen rotation feature us completely dead. Any ideas?

    You can try resetting your iPhone 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.
    Try again to see if the problem persists.

  • My cat jumped up on the keyboard and the screen rotated, how do I correct this?

    My cat jumped up on my keyboard and the screen rotated. I've searched but I can't find out to undo this so the screen is in the normal position again.

    Hi dscamp,
    I don't think this is a Firefox issue, but the keyboard shortcut is Ctrl+Alt+[Arrow Key]. Ctrl+Alt+Up should put your monitor back in the proper orientation.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • I smashed the screen of my iphone 5 earlier and it was bought just before christmas, i was wondering will apple repair the screen for free or swap the phone?

    i smashed the screen of my iphone 5 earlier and it was bought just before christmas, i was wondering will apple repair the screen for free or swap the phone? the phone is still working fine, just the screen needs changing by the looks of it.

    Why would Apple replace or repair the phone for free? Will a car manufacturer replace or repair the car you drove into a wall for free? If you sit on your spectacles, will the optician give you another pair for free?
    You can get an out of warranty replacement phone for $199 in the US, similar price in your local currency.
