Can iMessage be disabled or permanently removed from the iPad

I am trying to disable or permanently remove iMessage from the iPads in our school.  I am able to turn it off, but cannot disable or remove it.  Any suggestions?

You cannot remove any of the preinstalled apps. From what I see - you cannot restrict it either with restrictions.
Perhaps you should try to contact Apple directly for a solution. 
I have read about people that bought iPads that were missing certain settings - iPads that were Purchased as demo models from retailers and their iPads did not have certain standard settings. There must be a way that you can disable those types of things from iPads being used in schools, otherwise, you could have chaos on your hands with apps like Message.
Perhaps you can look for an "iPads in the classroom" forums and see if you can get some direction from one of those.

  • How can i do to upload my movies from the ipad to the i cloud?

    How can i do to upload my movies from the ipad to the i cloud?

    If these are videos taken with your iPad, you can only add them to iCloud by adding them to a shared stream, as discussed here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmc0cd7e99.
    If these were movies purchased from the iTunes store, they are already in iCloud and can be redownloaded again in many countries for free as long as the movie is still available and the studio allows it.  See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519 and iTunes in the cloud availability by country here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085.
    To be safe, import them to your iTunes library so you know you have them.  To do this, connect your iPad to your computer, open iTuens and go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.  Then you can sync them back to your iPad later if you ever need to.

  • HT1535 Hi, I have downloaded photos from my PC from one file. When I try to download more the first file is removed from the ipad?

    Just acquired a new ipad and managed through itunes to download a file of photographs onto the ipad. When I then want to put more photo files on the ipad it removed the first file. The drop down message on itunes only allows me browse folders. What am I doing wrong>

    That is how it works. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync.

  • An installed Theme does not get disabled or even removed from the main body of the browser, only from the header.

    After even uninstalling the all Themes and reverting to Default, the footer continues to display that one particular theme - Celestial. Concomitantly, against that dark background whenever the mouse cursor moves over a line in Gmail, the line turns White. Unreadable and irritating.
    This happened before I updated to Firefox 12 and persists when I have updated to Firefox 13 today.
    Firefox on my other desktop with the same Theme does not have this problem.
    Grateful for any guidance in getting a solution.

    Do you mean that you still see a persona at the bottom part of the browser window?
    See:
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Preferences+are+not+saved
    You can also remove the personas files (lightweighttheme-header and lightweighttheme-footer) in the Firefox Profile Folder.

  • Apple Tv, can I have a slideshow and music from the iPad at the same time?, Apple Tv, can I have a slideshow and music from the iPad at the same time?

    I am having trouble streaming a slideshow and music at the same time to the HDTV via the Apple TV. It seems to just play the one song, even when I hit the playlist selection. What am I doing wrong?

    Yes, you should be able to do that easily provided your home network can handle it.
    If you are trying to do this by using the Airplay icon you can't.
    The correct way to do this is to access the iTunes library via AppleTV using its Computers menu.

  • Warning: The disabled test "SomeTest" was removed from the test run.

    Hello,
    When I mark test with Ignore attribute, mstest show the next message: Warning: The disabled test "SomeTest" was removed from the test run. And I don't want to see this warning.
    The question is: Is there any option to hide this warning, turn it off.
    Sincerely,
    Alex

    Hi Alex,
    I think I could repro this issue. For the Ignore attribute, it would share us this warning message by design when we run it in MsTest.exe.

  • A month ago my iPhone was stolen, I turned on Activation Lock but it never came out BUT an hour ago somehow my apple ID was changed and someone removed from the account both iPhone and iPad and the iPad was also removely wiped. Can Apple help me somehow?

    A month ago my iPhone was stolen, I turned on Activation Lock but it never came out BUT an hour ago somehow my apple ID was changed and someone removed from the account both my iPhone and iPad and the iPad was also remotely wiped. As soon as I saw it I recover the password and return the access to my iPad. But iPhone is not registered for my apple ID any longer. Can Apple help me somehow? I have all the documents and the iPhone box. Will they lock the iPhone and return me access to it. I'm sure it's been attached to another apple ID.
    PS. the apple ID I'm using on the discussons is not the hacked one.

    Try contacting the Apple account security team and ask: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699.

  • How can i create a hyperlink annotation on a pdf file using preview? the tool is removed from the toolbar

    It seems that the tool to create an hyperlink on a pdf file is removed from the toolbar!

    In order to initiate printing by clicking a button, the button has to have either an "execute menu item" type action or use the "print" JavaScript method. As you guessed, the former won't work since there are no menu items to execute, and the latter can only work if the particular PDF viewer you're using supports it. I'm not aware of any that do on iOS.
    The button doesn't appear because you're probably opening it in the default PDF viewer, which doesn't support forms at all. If you were to open the form in Adobe Reader, you'd see the button but it wouldn't work.

  • Hi. the email application has been removed from my ipad. I don't have back up so how can I get it back?

    Hi. the email application has been removed from my ipad. I don't have back up so how can I get it back?

    It is not possible to remove the Mail app (or any other of the bundled apps) from the iPad. It's probably been moved to another Home screen or inadvertently placed in a folder. If you can't find it, you can reset the Home screens in the General -> Reset preferences.

  • I still can load to entities that were remove from Org in Enterprise 6.3.1

    I had to delete entities from my application in Enteprise 6.3.1. I went to entities select the ones I needed to removed and Edit > Remove Entity. Then I went to Task > Unowned Entities > Purge Unowned Entities. After I ran a report to confirm that all my Unowned Entities. The report was empty.
    I made a test and try to load data in the entities I removed. I was able to load data to does entities even I I removed them and I can't see them from the Unowned Entities report.
    I extract the whole application and then open it in a text editor. I was able to find the entities in the [Entity] portion only.
    Why I can't see them anywhere from the Entity module in enterprise? Is it a Bug?

    I had entities that were removed from the hierarchy with jouyrnal still posted in those entities.

  • My ipad2 crashes when it is removed from the power supply. It  can't be reset?

    My ipad2 crashes when it is removed from the power supply. It can't be reset? Doesn't respond when plugged into my pc?

    Hrm... that may be true and this may be a function of the phone email client that Apple just doesn't do.
    No, I can easily MANUALLY delete the messages. I would prefer if I didn't have to do it twice, tho. Once on the mail server and once on the phone.
    What I think the phone needs to do is, when it checks the POP, anything NOT there should be removed locally. I think you are correct on POP; the phone will poll the mx (mail exchanger) and the mx will pass off the messages to the phone. The phone then keeps ALL of that unitl you manually delete it.
    If, say, I remove a message from the mx, I would like the phone, when next polls, to see that that particular message isn't on the server anymore and remove it locally.
    Perhaps it's just me but if I delete the message on the mx itself, via my ISP's webmail interface, I really don't want to have to remove it again from my phone.
    thxs!

  • How does one set options such that the entry for a successfully downloaded file automatically got removed from the download window?

    In earlier versions of Firefox, I could set options such that when a download completed successfully, the download entry was automatically removed from the download windows. I don't seem to be able to get this functionality in ver 13.0.1. In this version, i have to right click on each completed download entry, and choose "remove from List". This is very cumbersome.
    I really liked the earlier auto cleanup as it left only pending, current and failed downloads in the Download window - just the stuff I needed to pay attention to. Is there any way to set up ver 13.0.1 to make things work the way they worked so well earlier.
    A related issue may be that in the Privacy tab, the option for Browsing and Download history have been combined (were they separate earlier? - don't remember). I want to keep my browsing history but not my download history. I can still clear them individualy in the "Clear Recent History" settings, so why can't I set the control for keeping either individually? Or can I?

    The download history is part of the regular browsing history, so you would have to disable the history altogether as you've already noticed.
    * Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history"
    **"Remember my browsing and download history"
    Firefox manages the downloads in the Downloads folder in the Library.
    * Firefox > History > Show All History > Downloads
    Future Firefox versions won't use the current download manager (pref: browser.download.useToolkitUI; Bug 726444), but use a toolbar button with a drop down list, similar to the Bookmarks Menu button.

  • Did the Grand Theft Auto Series Get Removed from the App store?

    I went to buy GTA San Andreas last week it was there and this morning it wasn't. Did it get removed??? Changed???

    I truly hope Rockstar Games is permanently removed from ever publishing games to Mac App Store. Their complete lack of support is something no one should ever experience when throwing cash for their uncomplete buggy games. What good is an awesome classic when it can't work properly on a modern computer? Very sad.
