First off - post that piece of code, cut and paste it right out of the app just incase you went and misspelled it, unlikely but, if you post it here we can eliminate that possibility.
Second - type 'QA1688' into the documentation browser and read that technote, that gives several reasons that views might not autorotate, there are some quite creative ones there like not retaining a view controller properly or not calling [ super init... ]; and lastly yes there is a property, it's discussed in QA1588, make sure that UISupportedInterfaceOrientations and UIInterfaceOrientation in your Info.plist file are suitably set; although I've messed with that key before (and just did again to check) and my app rotated anyway so I really don't actually know if it works!
