Can you get to homescreen without home button or gestures

I have three Ipad"3"s Kiosks that block the home button from users, and restrict access to the power button.
I want to disable gestures so people can not close out the app randomly, but without gestures and not being able to access the home button without disassembling the kiosk I do not know a way to exit out of anything. As it is if i go into setting and turn off gestures i can not get out of settings.
Is there a feature I am missing that would allow me to close the app when i need to, for updates or other maintenance? Something other then turning the iPad off and back on that is.
Any help is appreciated, thank you.

With iOS 6 there is a new 'Guided Access' accessibility function - from here :
It allows a parent, teacher, or administrator to limit an iOS device to one app by disabling the Home button, as well as restrict touch input on certain areas of the screen.
Is that the sort of thing that you are looking for ? There is a little bit more info about it in the iOS 6 manual (chapter 26 Accessibility).

How can you get free apps without a credit card?

I got this iPod touch for my birthday and I really wanted to get cranking on getting free apps. I had made an account and everything, and it keeps asking me to finalize my payment plans. The thing is, is that i dont have a credit card. And all i want is free apps. So what can I do, because there is no "none" option on iTunes 10.4 to indicate that you dont have a credit card. I tried making a new account, and I selecting a free app then going through the process hoping to find the "none" option, but nothing has worked.

Create a new account using the following instructions:
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card

HT2534 ummm, we don't have the none button to select for our payment type, how can you set it up without that button or a credit card??? apple isn't doing to good of a job so far and i'm not impressed

Hi, I'm setting up an account for my brother, but apparently we need a credit card. Neither of us own one and the system won't let us continue without one. Now I know that there's supposed to be a none selection, but it won't appear on ours. How can we continue if we don't have a credit card or the none selection button??? Help us please!!!!

When I created a new account on my computer's iTunes yesterday, I first logged out of my existing account. I then found a free app in the store, clicked on it's free 'price' to 'buy' it, clicked on 'create Apple id' and filled in details about the new account and which gave me the option of 'none' for the payment details - clicking on the 'verify' email that I received then allowed me to download a free app.
That is the process that you are using when you tried to create both new accounts ? The instructions won't work on existing accounts (even if the account has only been partially created), and you are in the country that you are trying to create the account for ?

Can you get an iPhone without signing with a carrier

Sad but true! I actually want a mocked up iPod touch, so I thought that I would get the iPhone 4S because of the camera and the flash as that is really my main interest in the product. As we know the iPod touch has a horrible camera and no flash. So can a person just get the iPhone and use it with WiFi only and bypass the phone calling and carrier contracts.

The more I research the more I'm finding that to be true. You know having a contract and service isn't that big of deal but it's the credit part that is a ***** for me. I will not be able to walk out of the store without placing an additional deposit and those are not cheap. Thanks for the response though. It was exactly what I needed confirmed.

Can you get a bill without having a line?

Hi Everyone, first post and looking for some help as Im sick of the call centre lies!
I have come on here as a last resort... As I have been fobbed off so many times I have lost count.
My problem is I moved house in June 13 and despite BT promising to connect me by installing a line and promises of 8mb Internet, it fell in to the all to difficult category. So BT and me mutually agreed that the contract would be cancelled and we would owe nothing but a couple of pounds from the last bill... So no line, no telephone and no Internet at my new place. No problem.
However, BT still persist in billing me every month for Internet and BT vision, despite countless calls and promises from Raj in India, Jewel in billing, Clare in" BT the home of sports" and the most fascinating of all the "Chat facility" which quite frankly is rubbish and manned by buffoons! I need advice in how I deal with this.
Not only is it taking up my time but my patience is is wearing thin, because I havent payed the bills the email's are now starting to threaten action... I mean what are they going to do cut me off! But on a serious note I do not want this to effect my credit rating and my chances of signing back up with BT if I move again.
So any advice on where to start so I can speak to the same person who has access to the "systems notes" who doesn't hang up and preferably speaks in a dialect I can understand and they can understand me, who doesn't promise call backs that never happen and offer to refund money I haven't paid?
Really simple problem you would think? Stop billing me for a service I have never had, I'm not a customer, I have no BT Line and you BT are harassing me.
Where do I go next?
thanks

Maybe dumb, but can you get the iphone without a calling plan?

I am currently on a sprint employee plan because a relative works there. I only pay 20 bucks a month. Regardless of how bad I want an iphone, I can justify switching while only paying 20 bucks a month for unlimited data and 500 peak minute voice calls. I am on the instinct, which i am not a particular fan of due to how basic and elementry it is. The only nice thing about it is that I can connect to the internet on my computer wherever I am by using the phone as a modem. Oh, and i will say that the navigation features are great as well!
On the other hand, the iphone is sick. I love the apps that it has to offer, and due to the fact that i get such a great deal on sprint, I was curious to know if the iphone can be purchased with only a data plan. I dont want the calling plan, just the data so taht i can use all of the apps. Is this possible? I was thinkin about an ipod touch, but i like the apps on the iphone that would require a 3g signal.

It may be possible to cancel the unlimited data plan for the iPhone 3G and if so, you would also need to request that data access be disabled for your line/number or you will be charged by the KB for all data uploaded/downloaded via AT&T's data or internet network, which isn't cheap. You would also lose visual voicemail since visual voicemail messages are downloaded to the iPhone via AT&T's data or internet network only.
The iPhone is designed to always have an internet connection as long as there is an available wi-fi network that you have access to, or you have cellular reception. If you don't use the iPhone as designed and intended, you might as well get a different phone - a phone that isn't in the smart phone category and isn't designed to always have an internet connection or access.

When taking a picture with home and sleep button can you get rid of the tool and task bar?? (the search bars)

No, but you can use any picture editing tool to crop out the bars. (Many are free in the App Store.) Me personally, I use PhotoPad, which I use to crop as well as rotate the screen shot. Takes less than a minute to do both with PhotoPad.

Do you mean that your startup disk is full?

I can't get back to my home screen? Is the home button broke?

I can't get back to my home screen? Is the home button broke?

A simple press on the home button should always get you back to your 'app-menu'. If this is not the case there is a problem. It is possible that your button is broken. Maybe you could try first to install the latest iOS version through iTunes if you haven't done already. Or try to reset your iPhone by pressing the power button a few seconds and then Slide to Power off.
Let me know if it works!

Wifi connection - can you get it anywhere other than home?

Hey
Sorry if this question has been answered 100000000000000 times before, I have searched posts.
Can you get internet access anywhere in London, shops, tube etetc without having to put in a password??
Thanks

You may find free WiFi hotspots around London in cafes, etc, or even peoples home wireless networks (although using other peoples WiFi is stealing and you can be arrested for it).
There is a nation-wide WiFi service that you might want to consider, it will only give you a connection when you are near one of their 7500 hotspots which are most in bars, pubs and phone boxes.
The service is provided by 'The Cloud' and they have done a special deal with Apple for the iPod touch, you can get a months service for £3.99. Once you are signed up you never need to log in again to their service, as soon as you are near one of their hot spots your iPod will connect to it (if you have WiFi turned on). You can find out more here :-

How can you get your submit buttons on the quiz template to be a single click instead of the default double click? (The option to choose double click or not is not showing in properties for this).

Hmmm... Submit button doesn't need a double click at all. Maybe you are talking about the two-step process? When you click on Submit, the feedback appears with the message to click anywhere or press Y. Is that what you are talking about? If you are talking about a real double-click, something must be wrong in your file. And which version are you using?

MacBook Pro2012 : How can you get hard drive upgraded in Netherlands without losing warranty?

My MacBook Pro (2012) hard drive is almost full, Apple refuses to provide hard drive upgrade service, how can you get hard drive upgraded in Netherlands without losing warranty?

Dear Ralph, and All
My MBP is indeed non-retina.
I also have Apple care support for 3 years
I was in touch with Apple suport since last week. Response I got on Phone was pretty astounding (waiting email confirmation). They say following
- Apple support does not provide such service of upgrading hard drive
- Doing it yourself means you will lose warranty (due to nature of operation one would need to perform on the computer)
- None of authorised delars will provide such a service
So as such there apparantly is no way to get your hard drive upgraded without losing warranty.
Leaves me a bit perplexed
I do understand MBP retina (or iPAD / iPhones) are manufactured in way that makes it technically impossible to upgrade certain parts. But why non-retina MBP?
What do you all think? is this reasonable? is this what a MBP customer would expect?
Really appreaciate the quick responses i have recieved from you and others on this forum.
Many thanks
