How to Fix Rotation on iPad



The iPad is designed in a way that the screen rotates by default, based on the way you hold the device. For instance, it portrays the display in a landscape mode, if you orient it that way and so forth. This feature is the one that attracts most people to the device. Hence, when the screen cannot rotate anymore, it can be disappointing.  Fortunately, this is something you can fix in a few minutes. All you need is a few tips on how to fix rotation on iPad.

Quickest ways of fixing a rotation on an iPad
·         If you notice a small lock symbol next to the battery notification, then the device rotation feature is locked. Where you had used the side switch located on the right side of the device, simply flip it up to disable the lock. The side switch is a versatile button, and you can use it with any application.
·         Where the side switch acts as the Mute button, you will need to pull the Multitasking Bar upwards, to unlock the rotation. Make a double tap on the home button to pull up the Multitasking Bar. Then, swipe right until the rotation lock button comes up, after which you will tap on it to disable the rotation lock.
·         If your iPad status bar does not feature the lock symbol, then the display will not rotate as it is meant to.  In this scenario, you will have to restart the device.  Just by switching it off and on, you will have solved the problem. However, if it does not give in to this, a hard reboot will be necessary. To execute a hard reboot, simply hold down the Home and Power buttons simultaneously for about 10 seconds. Do this until the screen goes black accompanied by the Apple logo and then release the buttons.
In most cases, many iPad rotation problems will go off after you apply the first and the second method. However, if these two fail to bring it back into a rotation mode again, it is best if you use the last option. In very rare situations, this method would fail to work.  As you can see, fixing a rotation challenge on the device is not some kind of rocket science. It is something that you can do without the need of an expert. Just arm yourself with essential clues on how to fix rotation on iPad and you will be good to go.
