Hi Sabrina Welcome to the world of Apple. I can help you with your first query about the phone changing to landscape. Basicly, what you need to do is lock the phone to the orientation you prefer i.e portrait or landscape. To do this, try the following: Have the phone in portrait or landscape, which ever you find easiest to manage. Press the home key twice quickly and you will here VoiceOver say "app switcher". Do a 3 finger swipe to the right to switch between the pages and on page2, you should come across a button that says, lock orientation. If you double tap on this, the phone will stop switching orientation. Hope this helps.

As regards setting up your Itunes account to get apps from the store have any of you come in to problems doing that? How did you do it? I am choosing existing apple ID have tried registering it just on the phone and with phone attached to PC using the ITunes prog here on my computer. While on to tech support yesterday (for over two hours), the tech guy did get my phone registered while we had it hooked up to computer. But there is something going on with ITunes. He got me to submit a help request through the express lane and I am waiting to hear back. I can confirm that my account is active as regards payment-wise as my payment service confirmed this when they rang me. Any suggestions/feedback much appreciated.
