How do I get it to go to landscape mode? It used to switch back and forth depending on the position it was in.

If you have an older model iPad, it will have a physical side-switch on the edge. This switch can be configured, in Settings, the either activate the Rotation Lock - or to Mute the sound on your iPad.


Try flipping the physical switch to the other position.


Configuration of this feature can be found here:

Settings > General > [User Side Switch To] - select Lock Rotation or Mute


I hope this is helpful in resolving the problem.
