Adjust guided access sleep time

When using Guided Access for a given app i timed 10 minutes between the last touch and the display turning off. Is there any way to adjust this time? I would like to change it to 1 or 2 minutes.
To be clear i want the ipads display to turn off by itself meaning i DONT want to have to use the hard button built into the side bezel to turn the display off.

Settings/general/autolock is set to 2 minutes. At the 2 minute mark the panel dims to about 25% but does not go off until 8 minutes later (the full 10 minutes i mentioned in my original post).
I tried setting auto lock to never just to see if this was some weird bug that was causing the panel to stay on for ten minutes BECAUSE i had autolock enabled. Setting to never actually caused the panel to stay on forever and something crashed because triple click no longer worked until i hard/shutdown the iPad. I actually had to hard/shutdown it twice because the first time i forget to enable autolock again.
So it looks like autolock is just dimming at 2 minutes instead of shutting the panel off. I think something is missing with guided access that would allow you to set auto lock to Never (because you don't want it to autolock) and then adjust sleep time within guided access. Or autolock should control when the panel dims and the 10 minute delay before sleep should be removed.

Guided access has Ben activated no password I can not get the red slider bar to shoe up when I hold the off and the home bottom down, it comes back to sarfri , I also tried over ten times to enter a passcode, but no go

Guide access has been activated, never set a pass word,I can not get the red slider to come up by holding the off and home button, tried entering a wrong pass word 10 time to reset it but it will not . Can only use Safari.

Step by step, how did you arrive at seeing this agreement?

i have started the guided access and that time my ipod touch 3 battery gets over now i cant close my ipod or cannot restore it

Without knowing what happens when you try to restore the iPod
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

IPad doesn't go into sleep mode when guided access is enabled

My iPad doesn't go into sleep mode when guided access is enabled despite having set "enable sleep mode" to on in the settings menu. COnsequently, my battery life drains very quickly during the day as the screen doesn't dim or go into sleep mode at all. Help!

Seems this feature is lost with iOS 7.0.4. I just bought 4 iPod Touches for employee use and NEED to have sleep mode enabled for guided access to conserve battery life.
I did have 1 iPod that allowed me to enable sleep mode (and I tested that it allowed the top button to be pressed to immediately go to sleep), then after it ran the 7.0.4 upgrade it no longer allowed sleep mode when in guided access (I did not check the original version of iOS on the iPod but it was obviously older than 7.0.4).
Is there some new hidden way to turn this on or did Apple delete the option?

Disable guided access

Dear Helpdesk,
Guided access is enabled on my Iphone5 unintentionally. I found this only after upgrading my phone to iOS8. Since I do not have a password to disable guided access I am stuck. Kindly help.

HT202612 Guided Access - set default settings?

I want to set my default Guided Access settings so that every time I turn it on, my volume and sleep/wake buttons are enabled. Is there a way to do this? Right now, I have to RE-set those specific settings every day for my next group of students.

Posix permissions have three entities that permissions are granted for, owner, group, and others.
On those three entities, you can have read, write, and execute permissions. The Mac OS X GUI calls others everyone. Take a look at [this article|http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2963]
Staff is the default group a user is placed into.
Others can read your home folder so that they can read the Sites folder and the Public folder. All the other folders should only have read privileges for the owner (you). When you create a file/folder, it inherits the permissions of the enclosing folder. So, if you create a new folder inside your home folder, it will automatically have read permissions for others. If you create a folder inside one of the default folders in home, it will only be readable by you.
You can change the permissions on those folders you create right inside the home folder so that others cannot read them.

Guided access unavailable.please contact your administrator

How do I get a sign that says... Guided access app unavailable. Please contact your administrator. Off my screen

Had a similar problem. I remotely turned on guided access, but some of the iPads did not have the app that was suppose to load on.
Here is how I was able to fix it.
1. In your Mobile Management system tell the iPad to repair.
2. On the device turn on guided access, even though you turned it on it didn't seem to work.
3. Reset the iPad, holding both sleep and home button.
4. I waited a few minutes and turned it back on and I was set.
This worked on the two devices that I have tried it on. The first I completely removed the device from the management system, but did not need to do that because the second time I only repaired the iPad.

How can I keep Guided Access going after battery is drained?

I sometimes put my son's iPod into Guided Access mode so he can listen to music, but not play games (i.e. at bedtime). He discovered that he can defeat Guided Access by draining the battery completely. He has an iPod Touch MD057LL/A (iOS 6.1.6).
Has anyone else encountered this weakness in the Guided Access feature? Does anyone know how to fix it?
Thanks.

The good news. Congrats, you have a smart kid. The bad news. That's a loophole he exploited. There is no fix currently. In fact, he can just disable it by holding the home and sleep/wake buttons until he sees the Apple logo to do a reboot. It's only a matter of time before he figures that one out and doesn't have to wait for the battery to drain.

IPad stuck on guided access?

I turned on guided access on my iPad, but when I triple click the home button to exit, it nothing shows up but a message saying 'Guided access is enabled. Triple click the home button to exit". How can I fix this? It won't turn off or anything.

You're right sberman, that is how it is SUPPOSED to work but the problem is, Guided Access doesn't always work like it should. I use this for my 11 month old, and in the FIsher Price apps (and some others) once you enable guided access and try triple clicking the home button to end Guided Access, the screen just says "guided access is enabled" – (no kidding!)
Short of whipping the iPad across the room when the iPad is making tinkerbell noises with every gesture from a kid's app and you need to get back to work, you can force reboot the iPad by holding down the home & sleep/wake buttons at the same time for 15 seconds. When the screen goes dark, press the sleep/wake button and the the iPad will reboot and you can use it again.
Hopefully Apple solves this bug. It's potentially a great feature, but this bug really kills it.

Guided Access - ios7

So I updated my wifes iPad to ios7, no major dramas. However I have found Guided Access doesnt work the same anymore. We use it for our daughter, mainly with ABC iview. When I load the show, then put it into guided access, the show exits out of full screen. I can still here it playing, but no picture. Of course though, the screen is then locked so I cant do anything, so I turn off the guided access, and then try to get back to the show, then the app reboots. Assuming this is ios7 related as it worked fine with the lastest version of ios6 prior.

I had the same problem, and I solved doing this:
1 - put the iPad in lost mode with the Find My iPhone App
2 - Reboot it ( hold home and sleep untill it reboots)
3 - Unlock it with the passcode you created in the lost mode, and disable Guided Access in the Settings app
If not working yet, repet the process a few times.
Good Luck!

Guided access use for kiosk

I intend to use "guided access" for a single library app. The ipad is intended to stay on, however, if it remains idle for awhile if first "dims" and the shuts down. How do I let patrons restart it with out access to the Home button?

Once the iPad goes into sleep mode, either the On button or the Home button must be used to wake it.
The only option I see is to set time out to Never.

Guided access options

Can "guided access settings" be used to restrict a device to only one app for research purposes?
Thanks.

Ios 8.2 stuck on guided access

HELLPPPPP
My iphone 6 ios 8.2 is stuck on guided access.
I couldn't exit during Youtube as the passcode screen kept glitching only showing half of the keypad, so I thought id wait for the time to expire (60 mins)
The time has now expired but I now cant access anything as it saying "Time Expired please triple click......" but i cant do anything.
Ive tried holding Sleep and the home button but it does nothing as the sleep is disabled.

Pressing the Home button quickly three times will turn it off again.
Accessibility Shortcut
Use the Accessibility Shortcut. Press the Home button quickly three times to turn any of these features on or off:
VoiceOver
Invert Colors
Grayscale
Zoom
Switch Control
AssistiveTouch
Guided Access (The shortcut starts Guided Access if it’s already turned on. See Guided Access on page 156.)

Ipod stuck on "guided access"

5th generation Ipod touch ios 7.
I do not know how it happened but it suddenly is stuck on "guided access" and it says to circle apps I want disabled. I don't want any apps disabled but I tried what it says and it don't work. It wont turn off, nothing works

Two moons maybe this will help, comes straight out of the manual. If you don't know the passcode try resetting, Press and hold the power and home buttons together, until the Apple logo appears, usually takes about 10 seconds+/-. Then release both buttons. If home page comes up then try Settings>General>Accessibility>Guided Access. Good luck. Cheers.
