Does anyone know of an iPad app that can lock the iPad after a period of months (i.e., 6 months)?

Does anyone know of an iPad app that can lock the iPad after a period of months (i.e., 6 months)? I am looking to give ipads to contestant participants and need a way to automatically lock the device once the set duration (measured in days, weeks, months or years) is complete. Does anyone know of an iPad app that locks the device after a period longer than 24 hours (ike most parental control apps)??
Thanks for any help!!

It's called "SelfControl". It can be a little hard to learn to use but it's worth the effort.

My daughter somehow managed to reset my Mac Book Pro, does anyone know of a recovery tool that can restore the previous installation and all my files?

Last night as I was working on a term paper my wife called for my help, I made the mistake of not putting my MacBook Pro up where are four-year-old could not get to it. While I was assisting my wife or daughter somehow managed to get to the reset and reset my MacBook Pro. Now I have worked several years in IT in the Microsoft Windows environment and I know there's all kinds of software tools to recover previous installations of Microsoft products, is there such a tool for Apple Macintosh. If there is, can please somebody tell me the name of the recovery software? I really need to recover the lost files!

Unfortunately OSX doesn't have such good tools like System Restore, etc. If you don't have a TimeMachine backup or another backup of any kind, you're kind of lost. Did you just lose personal files or did you lose everything (apps, etc.). I guess what I'm asking is... I can't exactly tell what your daughter did without you providing more info. Is it possible that she deleted your entire profile? If you've worked in IT for so long, you should be able to provide a more detailed description of the actual problem. What was changed?... You should be able to tell that without asking her.

I have lupus and am extremely photo sensitive. I have a filter on my laptop screen that blocks out 99% of UVA and UVB rays (otherwise I have very bad flareups). Does anyone know if there is a similar filter for the iPad?

I know you already solved this but for future reference, there is also another setting to only keep songs downloaded to your device visible in music.
Go to Settings --> Music --> Show All Music and make sure it is turned off

I have a virus on my iPad that sends out bogus emails to everyone in my contact list. I don't know where it came from (email, apps not from iTunes, etc) but it sits somewhere on my iPad. Does anyone know of a scanning app that will find and eliminate it?

I have a virus on my iPad that sends out bogus emails (no subj and an URL that goes nowhere) to everyone in my contact list. I don't know how it got on my machine (email, non-iTunes apps, etc.) Does any one know of a scanning app that can find this virus and eliminate it? I have an iPad version 3 (WIFI) with 6.0.2 IOS. This scanner should be capable of running on my iPhone as well -- just in case it made it to to my other IOS machine. Thanks for your help! Steve

The chances that it's a virus on your iPad or iPhone is very slim. Who is your mail provider? it's far more likely that your address has been spoofed and it's your mail service that has been compromised not your iDevice. I know my Yahoo mail was hacked and people in my address book received spam mails that I didn't send.
have you changed the address on your e-mail account?

Does anyone know of a simple app that will provide checkmarks,bullets,etc in notebook? Or bold typing, colored text , highlighting? Don't need anything fancy.

Hi, you can try using Evernote. Or if you prefer "writing", you can download bamboo paper.

Does anyone know what to do so we can play the games on facebook?

Does anyone know what I can do to play facebook games on my ipod touch 4th genertion:?

Yes. use a computer or and android device that supports Flash. Flash will very very likely never be available on an iDevice.

Does anyone know if there is a way to connect the iPad 4 to a canopus box and use it for capturing video live?, Does anyone know if there is a way to connect the iPad 4 to a canopus box and use it for capturing video live?

I am the Video Coordinator at Samford University and have found the quality of video capture on the iPad 4 AMAZING, however I need to convert all my files through a canopus in order to Capture and Cut live like I do with a regular video camera. I can get the tripod and mount for the iPad, I was just wondering if anybody knows exactly how/if there is a way to connect to the canopus from an iPad.
Look forward to hearing what you guys and girls say.

I'm a bit vague about what it is you wish to accomplish. Are you trying to capture video through an external box? If so, that's not posssible with any of the Canopus boxes I'm familar with. In fact I don't know of any external video capture solution that works with an iPad, though I can't state definitively that none exist. I really don't think an iPad would be well suited for this even if it's possible. I'd strongly suggest you look into a MacBook Air or one of the current MacBook Pros. Those are far better suited for on-the-fly video capture and editing.
If that's not what you mean, please post back and explain further what it is you wish to accomplish.
Regards.

Does anyone know a USB WIFI connection that works with the Intel Powerbook and OS 10.7.5

I have replaced my AIRPORT EXTREME card because it dropped connection and wouldn't turn back on.
It worked fine for 14 months, but now it is broken again.
I have given up.
I would rather replace a 20-30 dongle everytime rather than the airportexpress card.

that should say a $20-$30 dongle.

Does anyone know of a Podcasts app substitute?

Does anyone know of an approriate app that I can use in place of Apple's Podcast app that WILL NOT require access Wifi or Celllar Data?
When podcasts used to be part of the Music app, I LOVED listening to podcasts. I actually became information junky as the sacrifice of all the music on my apple devices. If I’m at home or away, I loved that I could seamlessly sync my podcats between my laptop and my apple devices. If a podcast was deleted from one, it was removed from the rest post sync. Also, I never used to sync all podcasts, only the ones that I had yet to listen. If one of my podcast subscriptions had nothing to listen to, then that podcast’s album cover did not appear in my podcast list. Why would they appear if there is nothing to listen to? I could plop my iPhone into my car’s doc station and continue to comfortably listen to podcasts for drives of any length without EVER running into any issues.
NOW, even if there is nothing to listen to, I still see the podcast’s album cover, which I HATE. This fact makes it difficult to listen to podcasts while driving, especially in the evening. I have to stare closely at my phone to see which album cover is accompanied by a number that implies that there are podcasts that have yet to be listened to.
Also, I despise seeing the message, “Cellular Data is Turned Off for ‘Podcasts’ ”. Why do need to be constantly reminded of what I already know? I turned it off on purpose! Imagine how annoying this becomes when I am in the middle of driving on the freeway and this message pop’s up, which effectively stops what I am currently listening to until I click a button to get rid of the message. Safety first? Hmmm...I guess not!
Podcasts in the cloud? If I already have the podcasts downloaded in iTunes, all that I want for this Podcast app is to respect my previously downloaded apps an only display what I wanted sync’d from iTunes. I don’t like seeing podcasts “in the cloud”. This usually means that I am either playing something that I already deleted, unchecked or set as “played” with iTunes or I am streaming something that is already downloaded to iTunes. I DO NOT want to waste my Wifi service streaming something that is already downloaded onto (or deleted from) iTunes.
NEXT...Podcast Settings: Why am I able to go to settings to change some settings, such as “Sync Subscriptions”, “Refresh Podcasts”, “Auto-Downloads”, “Episodes to Keep”, and “Use Cellular Data”, but I don’t have the ability to change “Sort Order”, and “Play Order”? Most of my podcasts require that I listen to the oldest podcasts first, such as news articles or serial podcasts. This, having go to each podcast individually to make those changes...what a WASTE of time! Even worse is when there is an update to the app and I have to go into the each podcast again to change things to how I want them to be...yet again!
Sorry, this is long, but I am VERY passtionate about this. I LOVE listening to podcasts, but despise this Apple's Podcast app! ARGH! The only reason why I started using the Podcasts app is because IOS 7 removed this functionality from the Music app of my iPad Mini & iPhone. If the battery of my iPod Touch 4 wasn’t crap I would start using that again because it still has iOS 6.1.3, meaning the Music app still plays my beloved Podcasts. Sign...

I'm sorry to hear that.
I'm not affiliated w/ the developer, just a happy user that gave up fighting the apple podcast app a while ago. I used to have a bunch of smart playlists in itunes for my podcasts, and come home every day and pathologically synced my phone as soon as I walked in the door, and again before I walked out the door in the morning.
Since my wife was doing this too, we were fighting over who's turn it was to sync their phone.
Since I've switched to Downcast, I no longer worry about syncing my phone to itunes at all. I can go weeks between syncs.
Setup a "playlist" in downcast (ex., "Commute") and add podcasts to that playlist. Add another playlist ("walk" or "workout") and add different podcasts to that one.
Set podcast priorities on a per-feed basis (ex., high priority for some daily news feeds, medium priority for some favorite podcasts, lower priority for other stuff). Downcast will play the things in the priority you specify, and within that priority, it will play in date order (oldest to newest).
Allegedly, it will also sync your play status to other devices, although that is not a feature I currently use and can't vouch for. It uses apple's iCloud APIs, so to some extent may be limited by what Apple's APIs can do.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

The Chat on line guy was hopeless too

thanks. yes i am aware of the VoiceOver feature but it is NOT the solution to my problem. as you said, it is a solution to a different set of issues. i want the text to speech ability because i there are books i need to read but do not have the time to sit down and read them and have become used to listening to them read to me either by a professional human reader or with the text to speech software on the Kindle.
I think Apple makes the best audio devices but i am really disappointed in this inexplainable shortcoming. if apple can give us siri they ought to be able to design a nice little button that i can push to turn on text to speech while i am in a document, book, magazine or webpage. clearly it is possible as apple has added the "reader" button in safari to have web pages dropped into the reader format.
thanks for your suggestion though, it is what everyone suggests but it does not address the issue.

Does anyone know how to do a text search in the new Safari for iPad iOS 7?

Does anyone know how to do a text search in the new Safari for iPad iOS 7?

The feature has been removed to make safari even less useable. You need to download a third party browser like atomic web browser to get the functionality you want back.
Like many new IOS 7 "features", safari on the ipad is a FAIL.
At least you can now bury safari in a folder containing hundreds of icons that you can only view 9 at a time.

Using OS10.7, my hard disc is full. When I go to "About this Mac - Storage" almost all of the HD is occupied by "Other". Does anyone know what "Other" is so that I can remove some of it?

Using OS10.7, my hard disc is full. When I go to "About this Mac - Storage", it shows that it is entirely filled with "Other". Does anyone know what "Other" is so that I can delete some of it?

First, reboot. That will temporarily free up some space. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB free for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of your data.
Use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space.
Proceed further only if the problem hasn't been solved.
ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To really see everything, you have to run it as root.
First, back up all data if you haven't already done so. No matter what happens, you should be able to restore your system to the state it was in at the time of that backup.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
After installing ODS in the Applications folder, drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. When you're done with it, quit it and also quit Terminal.

Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
Install the App from the App Store.
Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

Does anyone know of an iPad app that can lock the iPad after a period of months (i.e., 6 months)?
