Can you disable Guided Access?

Is there a way to diable Guided Access in Restrictions? I do not want a child to set a password that we do not have.

Sorry but no, Guided Access cannot be blocked in the Restrictions nor by any other means I know of. For this and other features that can't be blocked, I think most schools have just accepted the fact that they'll have to restore their iPads from time to time.
Regards.

  • 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.
    Best Regards,
    Babu

    I cannot see where you can enable Guided Access unintentionally. See this information from the User Guide.
    Guided Access
    Guided Access helps an iPhone user stay focused on a task. Guided Access dedicates iPhone to a single app, and lets you control app features. Use Guided Access to:
    Temporarily restrict iPhone to a particular app
    Disable areas of the screen that aren’t relevant to a task, or areas where an accidental gesture might cause a distraction
    Limit how long someone can use an app
    Disable the iPhone Sleep/Wake or volume buttons
    Turn on Guided Access.
    Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Guided Access, where you can:
    Turn Guided Access on or off
    Set a passcode that controls the use of Guided Access and prevents someone from leaving a session
    Set whether other accessibility shortcuts are available during a session
    Start a Guided Access session.
    After turning on Guided Access, open the app you want to run, then triple-click the Home button. Adjust settings for the session, then click Start.
    Disable app controls and areas of the app screen:
    Draw a circle or rectangle around any part of the screen you want to disable. Drag the mask into position or use the handles to adjust its size.
    Enable the Sleep/Wake or volume buttons:
    Tap Options below Hardware Buttons.
    Keep iPhone from switching from portrait to landscape or from responding to other motions:
    Tap Options, then turn off Motion.
    Prevent typing:
    Tap Options, then turn off Keyboards.
    Ignore all screen touches:
    Turn off Touch at the bottom of the screen.
    Set a session time limit:
    Tap Time Limit Options at the bottom of the screen.
    Triple-click the Home button, then enter the Guided Access passcode, or use Touch ID.

  • Can't start guided access since ios 8!

    HHow can I start guided access? Three taps to the home button doesn't work!

    Hey Sharongamber,
    Thanks for the question. You’ll want to make sure Guided Access is enabled in your Settings, and the option for the Accessibility Shortcut is enabled:

  • How can you disable receiving Broadcast Messages?

    How can you disable receiving Broadcast Messages 
    Without deleting your Contacts ?

    I don't have access to my phone at the moment so I'm going on memory alone.  On your homescreen follow Options>Advanced System Settings>Cell Broadcasting, or maybe you'll see Options>Device>Advanced System Settings>Cell Broadcasting.  I'm sorry I can't be more specific without a phone in front of me.
    Let us know if that helps you. 
    - If my response has helped you, please click "Options" beside my post and mark it as solved. Clicking the "thumbs up" icon near the bottom of my response would also be appreciated.

  • How to disable Guided Access in ios 6.0?

    I am a secondary teacher and my students are using iPads in the classroom. I have tried IOS 6.0 and find that Guided Access is useful in some sense. However, I worried that if the Guided Access function is enabled by students, then how teacher/IT staff to unlock?
    So, how to disable guided access in ios 6.0?
    Thanks

    My son just did that.  He enable guided access and doesn't remember the password.  Now we are locked out of the iPad.  The screen won't lock and the ipad cannot be shutoff either.  It's just running down the battery and we happen to be at the hospital.
    I think some tweaks to this option are in order from Apple.

  • Can you disable the home button?

    My Ipod will close apps and go to the home screen for no reason.  Can you disable the home button/function to prevent this from happening?

    http://nealbo.hubpages.com/hub/Recalibrate-Unresponsive-iPhone-Home-Button
    Step 1: Open a stock iPhone app. e.g. Apples Stocks, Weather, SMS, Email etc.
    Step 2: Press and hold the power button until the swipe to power off screen appears.
    Step 3: Let go of the iPhone's power button
    Step 4: Press and hold the iPhone's home button. Do not let go until the power off screen disappears.
    And that's it, your home button is recalibrated and should hopefully now be more responsive.
    This seemed to make it better, but not fixed.

    Can you Disable the emergency call (911) or change the number. When my phone is locked I keep calling it when the phone is in my pocket.
    Even if I could change the number that would help but I think 911 is starting to hate me.

    Hi Evtek,
    I'm afraid that there does not appear to be any way to disable the autocomplete of the LabVIEW combo box.  If this is a real problem the best suggestion I could give you would be to try the .net combo box.  This does allow you to disable the autocomplete mode although obivously the programming would be slightly more complex than the built in combo box.
    Otherwise you could use the update value on every key and use a different event to trigger the movement or if it isnt the enter key that is pressed do nothing in the event case.
