Disable pull down notification window

iPad 2
iOS 8.2
I would like to disable the pull down notification window as it serves no purpose. It interferes with my 2 year playing some apps.
I found that previous iOS versions could disable it through accessibility (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fyJCbkzq6mY) but I followed the steps and there was no change
Thanks in advance.

DId you try this in Guided Access? Take a look at this.

Have you tried to reset the iPhone? ( See: reset your device.)
To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.

Can not pull down notification bar in PORTRAIT mode

I bought K900 from flipkart.com 2 months ago and everything was working ok. Now suddenly I have a problem with the notification bar; I can not pull down my notification bar. This problem started when I was using "GOOGLE+ app" and suddenly the notification bar automatically got pulled down; from that point I am unable to pull down my notification bar down. I have tried following ->
1) Disable google+ app, uninstall google+ uppdates
2) Restart phone normally and ALSO restarting the phone in safe mode.
3) clear cache using an app "App managet" and also clear ALL cache using the recovery (by pressing vol down and power button).
4) Factory reset
5) tried another lauchers : LauncherPro, Atom launcher
Has anyone faced this problem? There is an app on playstore "Drop down" which pulls down the notification bar. The touch sensors and also the display is working fine in the area of the notification bar (BUT I can not pull down by using fingers/swipe-down action). When the screen is in LANDSCAPE mode i.e. while playing a video using MXPlayer; the notification bar CAN BE PULLED DOWN, BUT CAN NOT in PORTRAIT mode.
I have also read on the internet that some people having samsung galaxy s3/s4 have also faced the same problem.
Can anybody suggest me to do something? Are my screen pixels/touch sensors dead on the top most row??
My K900 is stock(non-rooted) and has android 4.2.1; I have not updated my phone to the latest firmware.

I will leave this answer to my original question.
I called Apple and was completely disappointed with their answer. They indicated that they would not answer such a question, since they deemed it to be "outside of the scope of Apple support" since my question was deemed "not a consumer-oriented
question."
So yesterday, I took my Samsung SyncMaster 204T monitor to the local Apple retailer to try it out on an actual system. I specifically tried it out on the 24" iMac with the nVidia 7300GT graphics card, since that is the system I was interested in.
It turned out that this monitor works beautifully in portrait mode with the above system using Tiger 10.4.8.
So, I went and bought it!!

Cannot pull down notification bar after TB software upgrade?

I completed the software upgrade last night on my TB. For some reason the notification bar will no longer pull down. Any thoughts on what the problem might be?

Hello owj,

As a user of the same device, I understand how aggravating it can be to have an issue that was not there before the update. In order to resolve this issue, please complete a hard reset on the device.

"Activity" Pull down in "Window" : How toremove contents?

For privacy concerns, I'd like to remove/clear/delete the contents in Safari's "activity" window (in the "Window" pulldown) when I feel the need.
I have not figure out how to do that. Please help.
Kind regards,
PeterPaller

The content of the activity window clears when you leave a web page. If you watch the activity window while you surf, you will see the list grow and shrink as pages are added and/or deleted. If you have multiple tabs open, you will see an Activity window folder for the page in each tab, but you will still see the contents of the window continually shift. If you close all of Safari's windows and tabs, the Activity window will become empty.
When you start Safari, the Activity window will fill with the items on your Home Page. If you start with a blank page, as I do, then there will be one item in the window titled "Untitled".

FEATURE REQUEST: make swipe-down Notifications bar disable-able

I use the iPad as a drawing tablet every day, using Brushes, ArtRage, and other drawing apps.
It's wonderful and I am delighted to be able to do this . . . EXCEPT WHEN I DRAW A STROKE DOWN FROM THE TOP OF THE SCREEN.
The introduction of the new pull-down Notifications drawer has led to loud cursing and a strong desire to break things, for me. When one is drawing, one is not in a state in which one wishes to glance at what the next day's schedule is at. Furthermore, the active area of the pull-down also 'catches' the drawing input, so the stroke which is misdirected into the Notification dialog is lost work, and subsequent rapid stokes, up to the threshold of my reaction time, also do not register.
I must then dismiss the godforsaken irritating dialog in order to continue drawing. It is the most incredibly irritating interaction I have ever experienced on an Apple product.
Please permit the dialog to be disabled either user-globally or on a per-app basis as a user-configurable setting.

even with all notifications turned off the drawer remains active. there's no way to disable it.
while this may be a user to user forum apple people do contribute. I did file this as a feature request but wanted it to be visible and searchable.

How do i get my drop down notification bar back?

My pull down notification bar and qslide bar have disappeared from my lg g2 and i ahve not downloaded anything new other than kitkat update.

I think there is a way to disable the Notification Shade using Xposed Framework, but that would have required you modify your device in a way that would void your warranty, so I doubt you did that.
Did you attempt to power-down and restart your device? If not, see if that restores the shade.
If you do that and it doesn't restore the shade, try installing a program like Notification Weather and see if it does something to reset the state of the shade. Then if it's working, uninstall that new program.

N8 (belle) pull down menu

On my homescreen, since the update to belle, we now have a pull down menu which allows you to switch on or off Mobile Data, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or select Silent Mode.
I quite like this feature but want to ask.......can you edit these functions? For example, rather than go from General to Silent, I'd prefer be able to select 'Meeting' rather than "Silent'.
Is there a way I can modify this?
Thanks.

The pull down notification bar is not modifiable, not sure if it will be in future, someone had actually asked for it to be modifiable... This will indeed be a great feature.

[Solved] When I open multiple Firefox windows an orange pull down tab appears and I cannot exit from any single window. I have to exit all of the Firefox windows to close one.

I like to open several Firefox windows when I am browsing the internet. Since mi reinstall of windows XP with sp3 I installed Firefox 5.0.1. Now when I open multiple windows they kind of window in a window and I get this orange pull down menu. I can no longer close any one single window. I click the lower of the two top right X's to close the window and all the tabs in that window, but nothing happens. I also don't like the look and feel of the orange pull down menu

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
In Firefox 4 and later [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode Safe mode] disables extensions and disables hardware acceleration.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.

Is there a way to remove the notification center pull down?

My autistic son is obsessed with the notification center pull down, and can't focus on any apps. This has rendered the iPad useless for him!This has basically rendered the iPad useless for his educational purposes, and even his ability to concentrate on his favorite games. I realize this is a pretty unique issue, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's a problem for at least a couple of other autistic kiddos out there? But even if my son is tho only kid wit this problem, I'm sure there must be other users out there who hate the fact that this pull down does not appear to be optional...
If anyone out there has found a way to turn this "feature" off, PLEASE pass some instructions my way! Thank you!

Hi ChrisanneW,
I found this workaround on Chris Calabreese's blog. First the setup:
Go to the Settings app. Select General, then Accessibility.
Scroll down to the very bottom and tap the Accessibility Shortcut option.
Tap the AssistiveTouch option so there is a check mark next to it. This should be the only option with a check mark; if not, un-check the other options.
Once that’s done, here’s how to disable the Notification and Command Centers. This can be done from the home screen or within any app:
Click the Home button three times in quick succession. A black square with a white dot will appear on the screen. Tap it once.
A menu with several options will open. Tap the Home option three times in quick succession. The menu will disappear.
Your Notification and Command Centers should now be disabled. Try swiping down from the top of the screen and swiping up from the bottom to verify.
NOTE: I’ve discovered this method has one undesirable side effect. When Notification Center has been successfully disabled, your device will no longer sleep automatically. Your device’s battery will drain quickly if you’re not aware of this. If you want to disable Notification Center on a long-term basis, you will need to remember to manually put your device to sleep when you’re not using it by hitting the Sleep/Wake button. This effect is only temporary; if you re-enable the Notification Center (as outlined below), the device will sleep automatically once again. Because of this, I would recommend disabling Notification Center only when you really need to (when playing a game, for example), then re-enable it when you’re finished.
If you wish to enable them again, here’s how:
Click the Home button three times in quick succession. The black square with a white dot will appear; this time ignore it.
Click the Home button again three times in quick succession. The black square with a white dot will disappear and your Notification and Command Centers should be working again.
Hope this answers your question.

Notification Center isn't pulling down

Hi, I have a problem with my iPhone 3GS running iOS 5.1.1 which is Notification Center isn't pulling down. My screen is fine as it is all responsive everywhere I touch Do I need to do a restore? Ive tried turning it off and on and putting it into DFU mode but no luck. Advice would be appreciated. Thanks :)

I don't think you can disable either Notification Center (top of screen) nor Control Center (bottom of screen). You might try resetting your phone...it's been known to cure many odd quirks:
Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.

Education Edge -- Firefox update, 6.0.2, disables all the pull-down menus

We use Education Edge software to manage attendance, grades, etc. at our school. The new Firefox update, 6.0.2, disables all the pull-down menus. They show up, but the fields are all empty. Fix? Is there a way to revert to the previous version which worked fine?

I have this problem on my dual monitor system. I found a solution that works. Click Start, Run, sysdm.cpl
In the resulting System Properties window, click the Advanced tab, then click settings under Performance. You will have one of four radio buttons enabled. Here what I did. I enabled "Adjust for For Best Appearance" and clicked apply. I then unchecked the box "Show Shadow under windows" and clicked apply again. Problem solved.

Reconfiguring the Pull-Down Window in iOS5

I have the new iOS5. Is there a way to put in my own info in the new pull-down window? For instance, can I take out the stock ticker? Change the background color?

In terms of what is on there, go to
Settings -> Notifications
Add or remove the things you want (eg. remove the sotck widget).
