Why won't the display on my iphone 4s turn sideways on apps?

I can turn sideways for texting but not on any of my apps.

Annoying isnt it? I tend to find 'closing' and 'reopening' the app works. Such as this happens to me alot while txting. I'll close the txt app (as in push home button to minimise it) then reopen it. This often happens to me when I push the power button to standby the phone while an app is open.

    Why won't the volume on my iPhone 5 go down

    Hey cacobo,
    I found an article that can help with troubleshooting an iPhone's receiver or speakers.
    iPhone: Can't hear through the receiver or speakers
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1630
    Verify that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack, including headsets, headphones, or adapters.
    Make sure the Ring/Silent switch is not switched to silent.
    While on the Home screen, adjust the volume buttons. If you see the icon below, indicating that headphones are attached, there may be debris or an object lodged in the headset jack:
    Check the headset jack. If there is an object lodged in the headset jack that is not easily removed, have the iPhone serviced to remove object.
    For Original iPhone: If there is light debris, such as lint, in the headset jack, try connecting a pair of headphones to the headset jack and then remove the headphones. Repeat this several times to remove the debris.
    If you have installed a protective film on the display, either ensure that the receiver is not covered or remove the film completely.
    Check the receiver mesh (which is on the top front of the device, above the display). If it appears blocked, use a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush to carefully and gently brush away any debris.
    If you have paired with a Bluetooth headset that is nearby, either use the headset or turn Bluetooth off (chooseSettings > General > Bluetooth).
    Restart the iPhone.
    If restarting the iPhone doesn't resolve the issue, try restoring the device.
    If the issue persists, go to the Service Answer Center - iPhone for information on service.
    Hope that helps,
    David

  • Why won't the camera on my iPhone open?

    So whenever I try to open the camera app on my iPhone my phone screen restarts with a white page with the apple in the middle of it. The camera just won't open at all. When I use snapchat I can only take pictures from the front of the phone and not the camera in the back of the phone. In fact, snapchat won't even let me flip the camera around to use the camera on the back.
    Please help!

    Hi Cassielsmith13,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that the rear camera on your iPhone is not functioning as you would expect and I know how frustrating situations like **** can be. In this situation, there are a few different troubleshooting steps that I would recommend. Please use the steps located in the attached article to troubleshoot this situation.
    Get help with the camera on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    You see a closed lens or black screen
    If you see a closed lens or black screen when you open the Camera app, try these steps:
    Make sure that there’s nothing blocking the camera lens. If you’re using a case, try removing it.
    Force the app to close, then open the Camera app again.
    Restart your device, then open the Camera app again.
    If your device has a front and rear camera, try both cameras by tapping (camera swap icon). If you see the closed lens or black screen on only one camera, take your device to an Apple Retail Store or Authorized Service Provider for more help.
    Cheers,
    Joe

  • Why won't the WiFi on my iphone 4s stay on?

    Hi
    This is the second week now that my WiFi hasn't worked on my phone. everybody else in the house can using their WiFi so there is nothing wrong with the internet. When I try to put my WiFi on it either says that it is searching or it say WiFi off. can anybody help me? I have also reset my phone to see if that would work but it didn't. Is my problem something I can sort or do I have to go to a shop to sort?
    thank you in advance 

    Reset Network, tap Settings App > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Relog into WiFi see if better. If still problem, Restore iPhone with iTunes on computer. See if better. If still problem, and there is Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation and take iPhone to Apple for resolution.

  • Why won't the sound on my iPhone work? No music, no text tones or ring tone.

    This morning my phones sound did not work when I plugged it into my car to play music. I unplugged it and realized none of the sound was working. No ringtone, no voicemail, no phonecalls, nothing. After playing with it and restarting it a couple times, it would turn on after static noises but then turn back off after a few seconds. At night I charge it on my iPod speakers, could that have caused the problem?

    Last Gasp from another thread
    This will fix it:
    1. Open iCal and backup your entries. Make a note of the fie name and location, you're going to need them in a minute. Once your backup/export is completed, close the iCal application.
    2. Open Finder and remove everything inside the "Username/Library/Calendars" folder. For instance, if your username is "Joe", then move everything inside the "Joe/Library/Calendars" folder.
    3. Open the iSync application. It's located in the "/Applications/" folder. Once iSync is opened, go into the iSync Preferences (iSync -> Preferences) and push/click the "Reset Sync History" button. Then, close the iSync application.
    4. select the file your created earlier. Dbl click on it.
    5. Open the iTunes application and connect your Apple iPhone to the computer.
    6. Within the Advanced section of the Info tab for the Apple iPhone, check the box the overwrites/replaces the Calendar data on the Apple iPhone.
    7. Click the Apple/Sync button. New, modified and deleted entries should now be syncing correctly.

  • I am a new iPhone 4s owner. I have a tone in iTunes that I downloaded from the web as a m4r file. Why won't it sync to my iPhone so I can set it as a ringtone.

    I am a new iPhone 4s owner. I have a tone in iTunes that I downloaded from the web as a m4r file. Why won't it sync to my iPhone so I can set it as a ringtone?
    Lois

    Yes, the tone is available and checked in iTunes under the Tones library.
    Yes, it is also listed under the Tones tab for my iPhone, but it is grayed out.
    Yes, tones are selected under "sources" in General Preferences, along with everything else.
    SyncTones was NOT selected under the Tones tab for my iPhone. I did so and it synced.
    Thanks for your help!

    more info would help. If you're using actionscript and
    loading images from a folder maybe your path to that location is
    wrong. It's possible that your images aren't in the right layer or
    level but noticed that when initially published.

  • Why won't my Mac detect my iPhone which was just upgraded to iOS 6.1.  My other phone still at 6.0.1 is detected just fine.

    Why won't my Mac detect my iPhone 4 which was just upgraded to iOS 6.1.  My other iPhone 4 is still at 6.0.1 and is detected just fine.  Is anyone else having this problem?  Everything was working ok before the upgrade and still works except for the detection.  Coincidence?

    After 4 updates to Xcode it started to connect again.  Now it's working fine.

  • Why won`t apple support siri on iphone 4 ?

    Why won't apple support siri on iphone 4 ?

    We are just users like you. So we can't answer that question. However, there are hundreds of posts about it, so a search of the forum might be enlightening.
    The iPhone 4 is four generations out of date. Have you noticed that when any company releases a new product or version of a product it has features that previous versions did not? If it didn't then what would be the point of coming out with a new version?

    Why won't the songs I have downloaded recently from Itunes store, load to my Ipod. Since I switched to Windows 8 I am having trouble. HELP!

    What exactly happens when you try to sync?
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?          
    Are any fo the unsyning songs DRM protected?
    What is the detail format of the non-syncing songs?
    Does any media now sync to the iPod?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

    Why won't the Axis yahoo app show on my home page on my iPad as the other apps?

    That's just the way the web works. If the font is not
    installed on the
    user's computer it can't display in their browser. You are
    best to stay with
    commonly installed fonts and to specify multiple fonts in
    your CSS. Start

  • Why won't the iPod Classic 160GB charge with the iPad charger?

    I found out the hard way that the iPad's 10w charger which works on my iPad-1 and on my iPhone 4s and on my iPod Touch *does not* work/provide a charge to my 2nd gen iPod Classic.
    I had gone to Europe with a full charge on all of my devices, and on the long flight I used both the iPad and the iPod. Once in Spain, I left the iPod in the hotel safe; the phone and iPad were used throughout my vacation, receiving a charge every day via the 10w charger and European duckhead. The night before I left, I plugged in the iPod, knowing that I would need it for the return flight. Imagine my surprise the next day at the airport when I discovered that the iPod was practically dead. Before boarding, I verified that the charger itself (with the European connector) was still working on both the iPad and iPhone, and it was; but as soon as I connected it to the iPod...nothing.
    When I eventually got home to the States, I sat down with both the 10w charger and two or three of the many other USB chargers I have accumulated over the years. With the exception of my ancient firewire connector, every single one will charge every single device-----except for the 10w charging the iPod Classic. The iPad will even get a charge from the non-10w charger; it just takes a very long time to get back to 100%. If I could find my 3rd gen Nano, I would try that, but I'm not sure where it is.
    What gives here? Why won't the 10w charger work on the iPod Classic??

    I finally got curious enough to get a young person's eyes to read the stuff on the bottom of my iPad Mini charger: 5v 1a which equates to 5W using Ohm's law P=IE (E=IR).
    So that beng the max charging rate of a normal USB 2.0 port explains (derived from above posts by Bilbo_cheshire and CMJRoss) why that iPad charger does work when some of the larger iPad chargers do not work with the iPod. The current is limited so it does not cause the iPod to sqeal .

  • Why won't the date and time stay in the menu bar?

    I just installed 10.6.2 and even when I use System Preferences to check the box in the Date/Time panel they flicker and disappear from the menu bar. Why won't the Date and Time stay in the Menu Bar? Any suggestions? Thanks.

    Doesn't any bring up the fact that Apple has so many customers with problems that the refuse to help unless you pay them cash? They update you and screw you over and then offer no useful troubleshooting scenarioius to help their millions of customers. It is because they want millions of our dollars. I hate Apple.

    I create a new index on column2, (INDEX_N3)
    and change SQL to
    select 1 from table T1 where
    T1.COLUMN_002 = '848K 36892'
    This time INDEX_N3 will be used.
    but change SQL to

    and T1.COLUMN_004 = '1000'

    Why？

  • HT1657 Why won't the bought and downloaded films play?

    Why won't the bought and downloaded films play?

    It won't let me download iOS 7.  When I check for software updates it says that it is up to date.  I also went to iTunes to delete the songs from the iPod, but now it isn't even recognizing any devices.  I even uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it to my computer.  LOL  I am sure it is something small, but I don't have the patience for it now.  Maybe I should step away from the computer and come back in a little bit...    Thank you for the advice though!  Keep it coming!  I know it is hard to diagnose over the internet, but any ideas help!
