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 won't my screen turn when the phone does?

    Not all apps support screen rotation. The Home screens do not rotate. But also check to make sure you have not locked screen rotation. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to reveal the Control Center and check that rotation lock is not on.

  • Why doesn't the iPad have a guest screen like the PC for extra security?

    I just want to start off first by saying I just purchased my iPad about six months ago and I'm really enjoying it,but if you're like me,I believe in protecting my privacy.
    I don't like to turn down any of friends or coworkers when I'm asked to use my iPad,but when you have such things as your personal pictures,movies,music,business documents,etc...you'd like to keep them from prying eyes. I thought that with the new iOS 7 update,that issue would've been fixed, but I was wrong. I'm hoping Apple would correct this problem with the next iOS update,it would make a lot of loyal Apple consumers & anyone who's new to purchasing the iPad for the first time very happy to know that feature is available.
    Why doesn't the iPad offer a guest screen?

    Tell Apple at the link below.

    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Launch the Console 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 Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time after  you had the problem. Select the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
    If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the entire contents of the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post any other kind of report — it will be very long and not helpful.

  • Why isn't my screen turning sideways on the iPhone 4s.

    Why isn't my screen rotating horizontally? The portrait lock is not on and I have even turned it off and on. It still doesn't work. I have also turned my phone off and tried it. I know that the app supports it because it has since I have bought it. The apps that I have tried so far are gmail and apple's messaging, the one that comes with the phone.

    Thank you At first it didn't rotate but when I clicked off of it and clicked back on it worked. It just needed so time. Thank you again

  • Why does my iMac screen turn mauve?

    Occasionally my iMac screen turns a mauve colour. I have also noted that since updating to 10.10 the screen does not wake up after the system has been put to sleep. I know the system wakes up because I can hear my LaCie drive start up. What could be causing these things to occur?

    Hi, Papa_Tech.

  • Why are some photo events missing when I synch my iPad with the new iMac?

    Very confused user here.
    I've just bought the new IMac, When I connected my iPad2 to the iMac and opened iPhoto on the iMac it asked to import photos. This proceeded, but when I checked it became clear that not all the events had been imported, even though iPhoto was saying that all the photos had been imported. There doesn't appear to be any reason why certain events have been missed - no difference in title, or date. How can I make sure all the photos are imported?

    If the iPad works like the iPhone you can move photos into the Camera Roll as shown here:
    Then from there it should sync to your Mac. That's how I got the screenshot above to my iMac and into this post.
    If you have an iCloud account and Photo Stream enabled on both your iMac and iPad new photos to the Camera Roll will automatically be synced with your iMac and imported into iPhoto as long as you have the iPhoto/Photo Stream preferences set this way:
    Of course this is assuming the iPad functions similarly to the iPhone in this regard and I should think it would.

  • Why doesn't the iPad mini have the ability to record video

    The IPad mini has no capability to record video! What the **** if your going to get the newest thing from apple and it doesn't have the prior capabilities that the older stuff has then why buy it?

  • Why doesn't the iPad have flash player

    I really like to play Facebook games they need flash player so is apple planning on getting it or not if they are when will we be able to use it.

    Flash is not, and probably never will be, supported on the iPad : http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/ . Plus it would be up to Adobe to make a version of their flash player that works on iOS devices - something which they have never managed to do and which they have now given up on trying to do.
    Browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter, Puffin and Photon 'work' on some sites, but judging by their reviews not all sites. Also some websites, especially news sites, have their own apps in the App Store, so you could try checking there for your sites (and there is the built-in YouTube app). Some Facebook games have their own app version in the store. The Photon browser (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/photon-flash-web-browser-app/id430200224?mt=8) says :
    Photon Browser allows you to play Flash games such as free Facebook games, use Flash apps, listen to music streamed via Flash player and watch Flash video.
    If you use the search facility on the right-hand side of this page you will see hundreds of other threads about flash.

  • Why do email notifications only come when I'm using ipad?

    Anyone help please? Only when I'm actually using my ipad do I receive notifications. What can I do?

    When your iPad is "asleep" it automatically switches off WiFi to save power. If there is no Wifi connection you don't get notified.  When you wake the iPad up - the Wifi restarts.

  • Why doesn't the iPad sync time automatically?

    It's a simple thing, but the iPad can't do it.  The iPad must have it's time set manually, and corrected manually as needed.  Grrrrr!

    Yes, the WiFi only iPad could periodically sync time with an internet time server (Apple has one). Why it doesn't I don't know.
    You can make this suggestion to Apple at http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

  • Why doesn't the iPad have a clock?

    I don't get it.  Why didn't Apple add the clock and alarm to the iPad apps?  I sure could use it.
