Yes, I likewise thought that the Ap switcher was a random place in which to place the option for locking the iPhone in portrait. Also on that first page are iPod controls (previous, play, and next). Strange... I would expect to find that in settings, but there you go. Glad to help:) Robert Hooper Robert Hooper

Thanks a lot. Never would have guessed to find portrait lock in the app switcher. I don't understand this switcher yet because I'm still reading and familiarizing myself with my new iphone, but the lock does work. Best, Paul. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert Hooper" <hooper...@buckeyemail.osu.edu> To: <macvisionaries@googlegroups.com> Sent: Monday, September 13, 2010 5:29 PM Subject: RE: portrait lock If you have IOS 4 or later installed, then the portrait lock is found in the Ap switcher. When double-tapping the home button, the Ap switcher is activated. Although VoiceOver gives no initial clue of this, it is a multi-page screen. When you first land in the Ap switcher, you are on page 2 of this screen. Performing a three-finger swipe to the right will move you to page one, where, as mentioned, there is a button entitled "lock orientation changes". After activating this button with a double or split-tap, pressing home will exit the Ap switcher. In the status bar to the left of the clock, you will find an additional status item when your orientation is locked. Repeat these steps to unlock orientation and the status message will vanish from the top of the iPhone.

Proceed acordingly.
