Why won't my iPad 1 suddenly not rotate the screen when I turn it?

My iPad 1 won't rotate the screen when I turn it. What is wrong?

Hi nugget,
Do you have the Lock Screen switch in the wrong position? It's the switch on the right side just above the volume switch. Try moving it to the opposite position to see what displays on the screen. If the rotate arrow displays, then you are good to go....
Cheers,

My new air 2 iPad will not rotate the screen from vertical to horizontal

MMy new iPad Air 2 will not rotate the screen from vertical to horizontal. Is there a screen lock

There is a screen lock. If the Rotation Lock is on you will see a circular arrow surrounding a small lock at the top of your screen near the battery level indicator. To turn on or off the Rotation Lock swipe up from the very bottom of the screen to being up the Control Center. Look for that same icon and tap it.

Took my phone to the Apple store this week and they told me it was a hardware/screen malfunction. They replaced the screen for free since it was under warranty. Now it works fine again!

Why I can not change the display when I turn the Ipad from horizontal to vertical position ?

Please help to give me the guide line to solve the problem in my Ipad
I can not change the display when I move the ipad from horizontal position to vertical position

Have you got a lock symbol at the top of the screen next to the battery indicator ? If so, then depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can lock rotation either 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; 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 is no lock symbol then try a reset and see if rotates after the iPad has restarted : 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.

My IPod touch suddenly quit rotating the screen. I haves reset it by turning it all the way off which did not help

Why doesn't my screen rotate anymore

Try booting it by holding the Home button and he power button simultaneously until the Apple logo appears on the screen, then you can let go the buttons. Wait until the iPod shows you the desktop. See if it is back working on panoramic view.
(Note: when holding those two buttons, you have to be precise and firm, or the iPod may just take a screen picture. Also, while you are holding those two buttons, first the iPod will turn the screen off then, after a couple seconds, the logo will appear---that's when you no longer need to hold the buttons)

My ipad is not connecting the computer when i plug in, USB device not recognized pops up. I uninstalled and reinstalled itunes without any improvement.

I cannot get my ipad to sync with the computer, the message USB device not recognized keeps popping up. I've uninstalled and reinstalled itunes without an improvement.

Do you have firewall or anti-virus software running? If you do, it helps to turn it off. Otherwise, click on this link and see if it helps: http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/assistant/itunes/

Trouble with 10.6.8 Update - blue scream, does not start the OS when it turns on. Should I stay with the old 10.6.7?

The Disk Utility could not repair the disk neither the repairing installation of the OS X allowed me to start the OS, the blue frozen scream was still appearing. The HD erasing with the Disk Utility was the only choice, than installing the 10.6.7 OS.

I'm not entirely certain of what you've tried here, so some of this may be what you've already tried.
Get an external backup or two, made via the bootable DVD. Recoveries and repairs sometimes fail, and data loss can result.
if Disk Utility is not repairing the disk structures, then you can try an add-on repair tool (which wouldn't be my choice, but some folks try that), or you can create an external backup and reinstall from distribution. Attempting installation on a corrupt (or potentially failing) disk won't usually have desirable results.
After creating the external backup (or two), you can either replace the disk and reinstall, or can attempt to wipe and reinstall with the existing disk using the bootable DVD that came with your system (or a new Snow Leopard DVD from Apple) and particularly the Disk Utility tool that's available via the DVD Utilities menu, and migrate in your old data from the external backup. I'd then download and apply the 10.6.8 Combo Update from Apple; and not the delta update from 10.6.7 (if that's what your Mac DVD has).
The data migration is part of the installation, and will attempt to bring in your existing files and your old environment, passwords and the rest of the settings from the external disk image. (Assuming it's not corrupted.)
If you have reinstalled and have redownloaded and reloaded the combo update, then you likely have some sort of a hardware problem with your MacBook Pro; check with the local Apple Store for repairs, or whoever else you might be using for that. Or replacement, of course.
I'm going to assume that you're using the OS X 10.6 client software that arrived with that MacBook Pro and have not installed and are not running the server version of OS X Server 10.6 (this forum); the initial recovery sequence for this case is basically the same for either, though getting the various services back online after a disk corruption can be more involved. You will need to use the 10.6.8 Server combo update here, though.

Safari window not filling the screen when launched

I posted this question in the Safari forum and after a week of waiting and numerous bumps, it went unanswered and completely ignored so I thought I'd post it here. Basically what I am trying to do is have the Safari windows automatically fill the screen so that the scroll bar is at the *extreme* right side of the screen, but it always comes just short of that. The reason why this is important is I want to be able to make one quick swipe of my mouse to the right side of the screen and have the cursor end up over the Safari window's scroll bar. But the windows never open up like that, they open up just short of filling the screen so when I move my mouse to the side, it overshoots the scroll bar which is annoying because I have to drag it there manually every time. How do I fix this?

Here is how I want it. Notice the scroll bar with no space to its right.
But here is what it ends up doing. Notice there is now a tiny bit of space to the right of the scroll bar. This tiny space forces me to be careful with the mouse cursor and will not allow me to freely swipe the mouse cursor to the right or it will overshoot the scroll bar. Of course, I can drag the window back to the spot every time I open a new window, but that gets very annoying.

Why doesn't my lyrics come up on the screen when a song is playing?

Before I updated my iPad to iOS5, the lyrics would automatically come up when a song is playing in album cover view. Now nothing. Even after I erase the lyrics and retype them in iTunes it still doesn't work. Is there something that I'm missing? Please help.

I just did some poking around on other Apple forums here and found a recommendation for an app which actually does take the embedded lyrics from iTunes and display them on the iPad. It's been around since November, so I don't know why I never saw it before. I'm posting the information about it on several threads so that others are aware of it. It's called Lyrics View and it works well. The only quibbles I have with it are that it doesn't display the title, which the Music app used to do automatically, and when you switch out of the current song it takes you to Songs rather than Artists or Albums, so you have to change to Artists if you want to hear someone else.
It also displays the lyrics with the first lines all the way at the top of the screen, so they are sometimes hard to see behind the progress indicator, but you can make the indicator disappear with a click.
At least there's a workaround until Apple fixes this, assuming that they do.

Why can't my pics match color of the screen when printed?

Hi there.... Please help me with my frustation. I am using LR 2.6 and printing on a HP Photosmart B8550 on a MacBook laptop. I can't get the colors on the printer to match the screen. I have tried several profiles in the Color Management section of the Print Module (including Manage by Printer). The prints are all darker and not as vivid as the monitor shows. Although the levels in the histogram are OK, in order to get 'decent' color prints I have to increase the levels distorting the screen image.

so I have to assume its a basic flaw with lightroom
Actually it is certainly possible to print correctly with Lightroom. Almost all printers will just work. If they don't, you are either not setting up the driver right with the correct settings for ink density and paper type and/or are not using the correct color profile, or you have a really badly written driver for your printer that does not conform to standards. You can hack your way around the latter if you know what you are doing and get reasonable prints, but a new printer might simply be in order. In its quest for the best print quality and 64-bit compatibility with the latest Apple and MS operating systems, the Lightroom folks had to dump some of the old ways of doing things. The same thing happened with PS CS4. This unfortunately leaves some older and consumer oriented printers at the wayside.
Now all this is excacerbated by some bugs in the printing systems of both Apple's OS and Microsoft's, where printer drivers will often simply refuse to give up color managing prints, resulting in dark weird colors. I doubt this is your problem though as it mostly manifests itself when you are using your own printer profiles for different papers instead of the standard ones.

Why does a skull come up on the screen when i turn the ipor touch on. it wont go away. how do i get rid of it?

why does a skull come up when the ipod touch is turned on. it wont go away how do i get rid of it?

Someone before you must have done it. Connect your iPod touch with your computer. In iTunes, under Devices, select your iPod touch, click Restore button and set up your device. Everything should get back to normal.
