If you tried sliding the lock icon and it doesnt move in any direction, chances are that the tablet is frozen. In that case, hold the on/off button for about 5 secs or until the tablet turns off (it will vibrate as it turns off, this is different than just pressing the on/off button) or offers you an option to shut it down. Wait a couple of secs, the tablet will show the booting screen and then allow you to work with it, not just showing you the lock as soon as you turn it on. If it shows you the lock without the booting screen shown first, this means that you didn't really turn it off properly. Try holding the on/off button longer.!

What type of tablet? If it's an iPad this is available a few different ways.
If it's an iPad 1 running on iOS5:
1. Check the little toggle switch on the side, depending on your settings this functions as both a mute and a rotation lock. Try changing this.
2. If your toggle was set as a mute control and not a screen lock then the screen lock is kind of hidden. Double click the home button and when the little menu pops up swipe right on it, you should see an option to lock/unlock the rotation.
If you are on a newer iPad
1. Check the little toggle switch on the side, depending on your settings this functions as both a mute and a rotation lock. Try changing this.
2. f your toggle was set as a mute control and not a screen lock then the screen lock is kind of hidden. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to access the control panel. The screen lock/unlock option is directly on the control panel.
You are looking for an option called Rotation or Rotation Lock (varies by Android version and tablet). Once you find it, orient the tablet so it is in landscape mode, then turn off rotation. If you do not have an option on the bar at the top of the tablet (top pull-down you get by sliding down a finger from the top of the screen), then go to Settings, Display, and look for Rotation, Rotation Lock, or Screen Rotation.

If you haven't resolved the language issue yet, try this: 1. power up the tablet by pressing the power button on the left side of the top edge of the tablet 2. slide the lock to bring up the home screen 3. across the top of the screen you'll see a magnifying glass (top left), a microphone, a folder with three dots on it (center) and dark area on the top right corner with six blue squares in it. Press the squares. Now you'll see your apps. 4. swipe your finger across the screen from right to left to show the next screen of apps. Look for the Settings app. It's grey with a light grey gear/sprocket in the center. Press that and you'll go into the Settings screen. 5. Down the left side you'll see a menu of options. Look for the Language and Input option. It is the one that looks like a solid light coloured square with the letter A in the center of it. Press that. 6. when that's hightlighted on the left side of the screen, you'll see the language option at the very top of the right side of the screen. There's no icon beside it, but it's the very top option. Press that. 7. the twelfth option in the list that comes up on the right side is "English (Canada)". Count down to the twelfth option and press it. The language of your table will be English. Go back and change it to something else if you don't want that particular English option. Hope this helps. I found this youtube video that might help, too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_rK6WRT3Ps Skip ahead to 2:38. That's where he turns it on and then he changes the language (he could be changing it to Spanish, but you'll get the idea). Mike
