Have you tried a simple hard reset of your iPad by holding down both the Home and sleep/wake buttons simultaneously until your iPad goes to black and restarts with Apple logo, then release the buttons?

Did you make sure the Orientation Lock was off? You don't mention that, which is why I ask.

That is what is not working. If that had worked I would not be concerned. No matter what orientation I set the device, the image remains in portrait mode.

I stumbled onto that solution right after reading the previous message. Worked.
