my ipad screen is locked

My ipad screen is locked and does not move horizontal and vertical. There is an icon in the top right corner that is a picture of a pad lock with a circle around it. How do I make it where the screen moves when I turn the ipad? Thanks RA

If there is a lock symbol at the top of the screen next to the battery indicator then depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (rotation lock or mute notifications), then you can lock/unlock the rotation by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085


You can download a copy of the iPad manual from here if you havn't already got a copy : http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad
