Why won't my screen rotate while using iMessage?  The screen lock icon is not on.

I checked the Control screen and the icon that should be black is.  My screen doesn't rotate.

Try this:
Quit all apps: Double tap the Home button and swipe the app preview page up
and
Reset: Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons and don’t let go until the screen goes dark and the Apple logo appears (no data will be lost)

  • Why won't my iphone rotate when using facebook

    After a recent update to facebook, my iphone screen rotation stopped functioning. I am not very good at keyboarding in the portrait posture. I need it to work in landscape. Can anybody assist?

  • HELP MY IPAD TURNED BLE WHILE USING IT THE CUT OFF AND WILL NOT CUT BACK ON NOR WILL IT REGISTER WHLE ITS CHARGING

    I FINALLY DECIDED TO UPDATE MY IPAD WITH THE MOST RECENT SOFTWARE,, WHILE ONLINE SHOPPING IT RANDOMLY TURNED BLUE NOW IT WILL NOT COME BACK ON PLEASE HELP!

    Howdy nhudson1,
    If I understand correctly your iPad will not turn on at all.  I would use these troubleshooting steps from the following article, named:
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on
    If you see a black screen
    You might need to charge your device before it can turn on. Plug in your device and let it charge for at least 10 minutes (20 minutes for iPad), then try turning it on. 
    You should see a battery icon while your device is charging. If you continue to see a black screen, reset your device. 
    If you still need help after trying the steps above, contact Apple Support. 
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Regards,
    Sterling

  • Why won't my background rotate when The IPAD turns anymore

    Why won't my background rotate when The IPAD turns anymore?

    You posted this in the iPhone forum. Check in Control Center (swipe up from the home screen) and see if the rotation lock is turned on there (an icon of a lock with a circled arrow).

    Welcome to our family. We want you to be able to enjoy all the services we provide and we definitely need to address this. Do you receive/make calls without problems? Are you able to receive messages with your contacts' number? Are you using iMessages? If so, go to Settings>Messages>Send&Receive>only your phone number should be enabled.

  • Map app is Dangerous- It does not provide Voice Direction.  I almost made an ACCIDENT! You can't expect to drive while looking at the screen

    Map app is dangerous
    it does not provide any voice direction. I almost made an ACCIDENT.  You Cannot expect anyone to drive while looking at the screen.

    Correct the Map app does not give audible turn by turn navigation. It does not advertise as doing so. There are many GPS applications which are avaialble that do.
    Like any device use of common sence is in order. From the Important Product Information Guide, one of which can be found here.
    Driving and Riding Safely Use of iPhone while driving a vehicle or riding a bicycle may be distracting. If you find using iPhone disruptive or distracting while driving or riding, pull off the road and park before making or answering a call. Use of iPhone alone or with headphones (even if used only in one ear) while driving or riding is not recommended and is illegal in some areas. Consider using a compatible hands-free device with iPhone. Use of a hands-free device may be required in some areas. Check and obey the laws and regulations regarding the use of mobile devices like iPhone in the areas where you drive or ride. Navigating Safely Do not rely on iPhone applications that provide maps, digital compass headings, orientation information, traffic information, directions, or location-based navigation to determine precise locations, proximity, orientation, distance, traffic conditions or direction. These applications should only be used for basic navigation assistance. Maps, directions, and location-based applications depend on data services. These data services are subject to change and may not be available in all areas, resulting in maps, digital compass headings, directions, traffic conditions or location-based information that may be unavailable, inaccurate, or incomplete. iPhone contains an internal digital compass located in the upper-right corner of iPhone. The accuracy of digital compass headings may be negatively affected by magnetic or other environmental interference, including interference caused by the close proximity of the magnetscontained in the iPhone earbuds. Never rely solely on the digital compass for determining direction. Compare the information provided on iPhone to your surroundings and defer to posted signs to resolve any discrepancies.
    Do not use location-based applications while performing activities that require your full attention. Always comply with posted signs and the laws and regulations in the areas where you are using iPhone.

    I was holding my iphone in my hand for a while and suddenly the screen is gi-normous...what do I do??? how do I reboot???

    to reboot you hold the power on/off button and the large home button together until you see the little apple logo.
    However if you take three fingers together you can tap the screen back to its former size.
    See article below.

  • Error while using '*'in the NTE (EDI 850) Segment where '*' is also used as Data Element

    Hi All,
    I am facing below mentioned error while using '*'in the NTE (EDI 850) Segment where '*' is also used as Data Element
    Error: 1 (Field level error)
      SegmentID: NTE
      Position in TS: 70
      Data Element ID: NTE02
      Position in Segment: 2
      Data Value:
      3: Too many data elements
    For Eg: NTE*GEN*My Text *goes here
    Here, NTE02 should be My Text *goes here. So, how can I use "*" here without changing anything in the EDI message?
    Can it be done?
    Thanks.

    Sorry, no.
    X12 does not support an escape character so whatever is used for delimiters become reserved characters.
    If you want to allow '*' in the data, you will have to chooser a different Element delimiter.  The receiver should read the from this from the ISA Segment so it's supposed to be dynamic but that's not always the case in practice.

    Look her and it may give insite on what is missing. Otherwise:
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $99. Likely not worth it for a your iPod. They do not fix yours.

  • Why are there 2 thin red vertical lines on the screen of my MBP 15" retina which is only 2 months old!

    I would just like to understand why there a two thin red vertical lines on the screen
    I suspect I need to bring into an apple store for diagnostics but is anyone aware of the likely cause?
    thanks v much!

    It could be a GPU issue, a display issue or a display connection issue.  The genius bar technician will offer you a definitive answer and should fix it under the warranty provisions.
    Ciao.

    Is Find My Phone turned on, on your phone? If so, eject from iTunes, login to iCloud.com, locate your phone, then erase it.
    Does the same thing...removes the passcode. Then, either restore from backup, or setup as a new device.

    Download the fee iBooks app from the app store if you don't already have it.  Then download the .pdf here: iPad User Guide (For iOS 5.1 Software).  Next, import it to your iTunes library (iTunes>File>Add to Library).  Then sync it to your iPad by selecting it on the Books tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing your iPad.  It will availble in iBooks in the PDFs section (tap Collections on the top left, then tap PDF's).
