I have a UITabController app which is definitely autorotating .. but it is rotating off center.
In my -shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:, I return YES for both Landscape orientations and for Portrait (not PortraitUpsideDown). But, again, it is rotating off-center, that is, when it rotates right to LandscapeRight and left to LandscapeLeft, the contents of the UIView appear against the left boundary/margin.
The entire contents of the UIView are embedded in a UIScrollView in order to keep the geometrical arrangement of each content object together, but the appearance against the left margin occurs with or without this enclosure in a UIScrollView. I have tried to overcome this within my overridden -willRotateToInterfaceOrientation and alternately in a -didRotateFromInterfaceOrientation method, but no luck at all.
FYI, the contents below the top UIView are a ScrollView, a UIImage, a UILabel, a UITextView and a UIButton (from top to bottom). The reason I started out with a ScrollView is that I was hoping I could place the bottom UIButton to be way below the UITextView … but this is a challenge for later after I solve the rotation center problem.
Okay, I’ve figured out what is wrong, but I don’t have a clue how to fix it. When I click on the top-most UIView within IB, I see orientation = Portrait. When I change that to Landscape, the whole view shifts left just like what happens when the iOS Simulator runs.
For this top-most view, I select Mode = center and nothing changes.
I really need some big-time help here, so thanks in advance

As far as autorotation is concerned, I have solved it:
