I have spent the last two weeks off and on trying to get my ipad 2 to rotate. I have tried everything I can find. It was locked in the portrait mode, then it started rotating for about a day, then locked again. The only thing I haven't done is to a reset, I don't want to lose all my settings. Does anyone have any more ideas?
Sorry if these seems like silly questions, but lets eliminate the simple stuff first... Have you tried turning off the rotation lock via the bottom toolbar? Double click the home button, and scroll to the far left - does the rotation icon have a lock picture in it? If so, press this to unlock.
Also, in settings/general, is 'use side switch to:' set to Mute or Lock Rotation. That determines the use of your black switch on the side of your ipad, which may be on/off.
Lastly, some Apps don't have a rotation feature built in. Make sure you're not testing all this while in an app.
