  • I updated to iOS 7 and now some of my apps won't display in landscape mode and they did before the update. Any ideas on how to fix it?

    This could be from having restrictions enabled. Icons completely disappear when "restricted"

  • I have a lock rotation on my iPad 2 and it won't change from landscape and I tried to reset it but nothing and I tried from lock rotation to mute but nothing and I don't no what to do now. Can u help me plz?

    I have a lock rotation next ti my battery on my iPad 2 and it won't change from landscape and I tried to reset it but nothing and I tried from lock rotation to mute but nothing and I don't no what to do now. Can u help me plz?

    With Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to 'Lock Rotation' have you then moved the switch on the right-hand side of the iPad above the volume control 'off' ?
    Or with the switch set to control 'notification mute' you should be able to unlock rotation via the far left of 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 being controlled by the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

    Alas, this did not help me. I don't have an Orientation Button or any Icon that would help in this endeavor. At the bottom of my Iphone 4s, there are 3 icons: Phone, Mail and Safari. That's it. I can't get those icons to move.
    What is it you're trying to do?  If you're looking for orientation lock in iOS 7, swipe up from the bottom of your phone to access control center.  Orientation lock is the top right icon.

  • My Iphone5 won't switch to landscape view when I turn my phone to the side...what am I missing and how do I make this happen

    My Iphone 5 won't turn to landscape view when I turn it to the side...what am I missing and how do I make this happen...it used to happen automatically...I thought.

    I had the same problem but it wasn't because the orientation was locked .
    Mine was some kind of glitch that was resolved by holding down the home key and the button on top until the white Apple appeared on the screen .

  • IPhone 5s won't switch to landscape mode

    I have the iPhone 5s (32GB) and the software currently being used is up to date (IOS 7.1.1).
    My problem is that my phone won't switch to landscape mode. When I take pictures, it won't turn over, and all other apps, even when I play games like Temple Run, it won't allow the character to move side to side.
    I have checked to see if my phone's orientation lock is on, which it is not. I have done a hard reset which did not fix it. I also did a restore where I restored it completely and set it up as a new phone, and restored it and set it up with a backup. Nothing has helped it!!
    I don't know what to do, and would much rather figure it out than go to the Apple Store and get it looked at. If you have any knowledge or anything that can potentially help resolve this issue, i'd be very much appreciated!!
    Thanks

  • IPad won't switch to landscape view

    I updated my software on my iPad and now it won't switch to landscape view and it is not locked. I have restarted it and cleared my memory and checked every setting that I can think of. What now?

    By restart  do you mean a reset ? If there isn't a lock symbol at the top of the screen next to the battery indicator 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.
    Is there is a lock symbol 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

  • Apps won't switch to landscape mode

    Many of my apps won't switch to landscape mode (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, Yelp).  I know that landscape works on my phone because Photos, Messages, Calculator, etc. will switch to landscape mode.  Also, I don't have the portrait lock on.  The apps used to switch to landscape - what's up?  Could it be because of the new update?

    Then the next steps in user troubleshooting are restore from backup, and if necessary restore as new. I would also ask, have you checked to make sure that the Orientation Lock is not on? Check in the status bar to see if you see a small padlock with a circular arrow around it next to the battery status. If so, you turn this off from the Control Center. Swipe upwards from off the bottom of the screen, then Orientation Lock is on the top row all the way to the right. White is on, black is off. I have also read that there is a screen zoom setting, either in Display & Brightness or Wallpaper. I don't have an iPhone 6, so I cannot compare. Supposedly in the zoom setting, it can prevent some things from happening, and I believe landscape orientation was one of them.

  • TS3274 My Ipad display is stuck on portrait mode. I tried the toggle switch, turning off and restart and just now backed up into Itunes and restored and still is stuck on portrait mode and it won't flip to landscape mode. Is this a hardware problem?

    My Ipad display is stuck on portrait mode. I tried the toggle switch, turning off and restart and just now backed up into Itunes and restored and still is stuck on portrait mode and it won't flip to landscape mode. Is this a hardware problem?

    Has lock rotation been accidentally enabled within the control centre? If you swipe up the screen is there a circle with a lock symbol & if so is is greyed out or white - if white it is enabled.

  • Ipod touch won't go to landscape format, help?

    I use to have it locked in the locked portait position for a year and now that I have turned the lock off, it won't turn to landscape.
    Will I have to restore it? Should I restore it from backup or restore Ipod?

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • N8 won't go to landscape mode

    Hey everybody,
    I've had the N8 for a month now and I'm loving it.  The main reason I got the phone was because of the picture and video quality and it's ability to become my all-in-one device.
    I've ran into a problem now that I need help with.  My phone won't rotate into landscape mode.  This is a problem because now I can't type texts and messages in qwerty form and using the portrait keyboard is a pain in the butt.  Has anybody else experienced this?  Is it a hardware or software problem?  I've already searched throughout the internet and have tried the following solutions but they didn't work:
    Change the sensor settings on the phone and ensured the auto-rotate display was activated
    Removed any apps that i downloaded since the problem occured
    Restarted my phone several times to see if that worked
    Did a soft reset on the phone and chose to delete and restore the phone to factory settings.
    test out the accelerometer by downloading the level app (app did not run for some reason)
    None of these solutions worked for me.  I haven't done a hard reset because I've read that Ovi Maps will not show up on the phone.  I have a feeling it's a problem with the phone's accelerometer.  I am tempted to call Nokia support but I'd rather fix this problem at home if it's a simple solution.
    Thanks

    One final thing you can try is a factory reset of the phone.
    If you dont already have it, download and install Nokia Ovi Suite
    Connect phone to computer and do a backup of its contents through Tools -> Backup
    Disconnect phone from computer
    Choose Call -> dial *#7370#
    Phone asks if you want to restore phone to factory settings, answer yes
    Phone restarts.
    Try the landscape mode again.
    If it still doesnt work, seems the sensors dosnt work properly and phone needs service.

    Settings > General > Lock Rotation..
    Or...
    Double-press the home button...
    Swipe to the right until you get to the Portrait Orientation Button...
    If no joy...
    Close All Open Apps...  Perform a Reset... Try again...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

  • IPhone 4 (with iOS 5.0) won't go to Landscape while taking photos/videos EVEN IF PORTRAIT ORIENTATION SETTING IS NOT LOCKED! However, watching YouTube/Videos is stuck on LANDSCAPE!

    My iPhone 4 (with iOS 5.0) won't go to Landscape while taking photos/videos EVEN IF PORTRAIT ORIENTATION SETTING IS NOT LOCKED! However, watching YouTube/Videos is stuck on LANDSCAPE!
    I was getting this even on iOS 4.0, but under this OS, I can restart the phone, and in some cases, this problem goes away.
    However, under iOS 5, it simply wouldn't go to LANDSCAPE. Photos is not a worry, since I can just rotate this, but videos is now stuck on Portrait!
    Again, the PORTRAIT ORIENTATION SETTING is NOT LOCKED! But it still wouldn't go to Landscape.
    Is this some sort of a "gyroscope" problem??
    O

    Sorry, but you are mistaken about both observations.
    You CAN DEFINITELY take photos in Landscape and you CAN DEFINITELY watch YouTube videos in PORTRAIT (just tried it now using my sister's working iPhone).
    Also, my CALCULATOR does not go to LANDSCAPE (i.e. from normal to Scientific) automatically.
    So I still think it could be a gyroscope problem...but I'm not 100% sure.
