iPad Rotation Locked
How to resolve issues with iPad Screen Rotation

Among the icons that will appear will be a padlock with a curved arrow around it. That's your "Rotation Lock." When it the lock and arrow are white on a charcoal gray background, screen rotation is unlocked; when they're orange on white, the screen is locked.
