App to "lock" only a specific home page?

On the ipad (or even iphone), does anyone know of a way to "lock" only one of my home screens?  I have a 4 yr old son and would love to be able to have just a screen of his apps, so he can't have access to all my stuff and accidently delete / move things.  Also, this would be a great way to be able to "share" an ipad with others, without them having access to your personal stuff.
THANKS!

To the best of my knowledge, you cant' do that. The closest you can come is under settings and restrictions and you can lock out the ability to delete apps, etc.
If an app is age restricted you can lock some of those down (for example the dexter app is 17+ but I believe I can lock it out if I wanted to, I'd have to enter a passcode to access it)
As far as I know the restrictions is the only real 'net nanny' for the iPad.
At its most basic, the iPad is designed to be a single user device, so there's no real accommodation for multiple accounts and multiple levels of access

  • I have just updated my iPad to IOS 8.1.3 when I now try to open the emails nothing comes up and then the app crashes and returns to the home page. What should I do?

    I have just updated my iPad to IOS 8.1.3 when I now try to open the emails nothing comes up and then the app crashes and returns to the home page. What should I do?

    Since yesterday morning about 11:00 I have been having TERRIBLE email problems on this iPad 3G. Email comes in (I hear the sound) but nothing displays -- no folders, no content, no nothing in e-mail. The blank email screen shows up and then disappears after about 10 seconds, taking me back to the Home Screen.
    Right now, the only way I can see email on this device is to log onto AOL via the AOL app.
    I have been doing a lot of online reading about the problem. It has to do with iOS 8.1.3 and it affects older iPads and iPhones. I'm having no problems on my iPod touch, which -- fortunately -- is so old it cannot update its iOS 6.
    I waited to update the iOS on this iPad until iOS 8 was "mature." That was about 2 weeks ago.
    Anybody know know if Apple is aware? working on a solution?

    Just in-case anyone els runs into this, I figured it out... I was working from my hotel and apperantly the fire wall was not allowing anything to uplaod, but I wasn't getting an error message from iweb, it would say that everything was published succesfully even though it wasn't. Once I went home and used my connection eveything worked fine.

  • I accidentally cleared all my cookies. Now I get the Japanese home page and I want ONLY the English home page

    I accidentally cleared all my cookies. Now I get the Japanese home page and I want ONLY the English home page. I was on the home page at the time & I copied the address. It is still in my preferences section. but even when I paste it in, I still get the Japanese site. How do I get the English site back, and ensure that I never see the japanese site on my computer ever again?

    Some sites automatically redirect you to a site in the local language.
    There is usually a link on such websites choose a language or go to an international version that allows to chose the language.
    You can click the link at the bottom of the local Google page (www.google.xx.xx) to go to the [http://www.gooogle.com/ncr "Google.com in English"] site.
    You may need to hover that local Google page with the mouse to make extra content appear.
    You can set the Google preferences on the [http://www.google.com/preferences?hl=en Google Search settings] page (link at the top right).
    Such settings are stored in a cookie on your computer that you need to allow: Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Exceptions" or Tools > Page Info > Permissions.

  • When I open the browser I get a extra tab besides my home page that opens. I only want my home page to open.

    When I open the browser I get a extra tab besides my home page that opens. I only want my home page to open.

    Extra pages can be a sign that a bad add-on has crept into your Firefox. For example, an Astromenda infection.
    cor-el pointed you toward Firefox's Add-ons page, and I suggest also checking here:
    Open the Windows '''Control Panel''', Uninstall a Program. After the list loads, click the "Installed on" column heading to group the infections, I mean, additions, by date. This can help in smoking out undisclosed bundle items that snuck in with some software you agreed to install. Take out as much trash as possible here.
    For further cleaning, try the '''scanning/cleaning tools''' listed in our support article: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]]. These on-demand scanners are free and take considerable time to run. If they finish quickly and especially if they require payment, you may have a serious infection. I suggest the specialized forums listed in the article in that case.

    just updated with latest firefox - please tell me how to get rid of it and go back to what previous firefox I had with ONLY along with Google Search as my only home page

    You can set your home page in the Firefox preferences/options on the General tab. Select Show my home page from the drop down menu. You can then set your home page by entering the Web address (URL) in the home page text box.

  • How can I move apps from one sheet of the home page to another?

    . On my iPhone 5c I cannot rearrange the icons from one part of the home page to another. Suggestions?

    Define "cannot rearrage."  Exactly what did you do and exactly what happened? 
    Did you press on the icons until they wiggle, slide them to the page you want and then press the home button?

  • I want to allow user to open a page only from the home page and not directl

    Dear friends,
    Can you help me in this.
    My home page is using frames. In one of the frame i am calling one html page which is calling one applet. Is it possible to hide the source code of the bottom frame .
    As the user types in the absolute path of the request on the address bar , he any how manages to see my source code of the html (view source) thereby the applet tag .
    Can't figure it out, how to hide the source code of the bottom frame .
    I read that its possible with redirecting it to some other page , but how will i know that user is not calling from the home page
    Any body , who can help in this regards.
    Bye
    Thank's

    You can set up a javascript to prevent someone viewing the page source, but anyone web-savvy will be able to switch off javascript and see it anyways.
    You could also add a request value to the second page so that you have "<a href="page.jsp?parameter=00a">" and if the parameter is not set the page will not show. That is a bit of a hack but would probably work.
    Basically, don't put anything too security dependent on the client site, because once it is run on someone's computer they have access to it.

  • Mi iPad 2 in safari , always closes when I open a page or App, takes me back to the home page, help

    Why does my iPad 2 close every-time I open a page in safari or email.  The iPad will close and go right back to home page.  Even the other night I tried to face time with the kids.  As soon as we connected,  it would close and go back home page.  Help

    So Google Search keeps track of every search result that is clicked on from their search page. Do you have Do not Track turned on? These settings can be turned on too if you have not yet already.
    [[Settings for privacy, browsing history and do-not-track]]
    This add on, called Google Privacy [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/google-privacy/] shows tracking-free links or optionally replaces the results with those links.

  • How do I only have the home page of sites appear in drop down browser?

    I want to be able to type in an address such as "salesforce.com" and not have all of my history show up in the drop down ONLY "salesforce.com".

    Firefox 4 and later use a combined Stop/Reload/Go button that is positioned at the right end of the location bar.<br />
    During the page load process it shows as a Stop button and after the loading has finished the button is changed to a Reload button.<br />
    If you type in the location bar then that button becomes a Go button.<br />
    Middle-click the Reload button to duplicate the current tab to a new tab.<br />
    You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache this way.
    *Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.
    *Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
    *Press F5 or "Ctrl + R" for a normal reload
