Guided access in iOS 8 on iPad air not working

I got an iPad air and after updating to iOS 8, guided access, which I use several time a day to my 1-year old son.
I haven't tried to reinstall the device, but I have tried to restore to factory settings and I have tried to turn off guided access, then reboot the iPad and here comes a strange thing. Before I restarted the device, I turned off guided access as earlier mentioned but when I rebooted the device, guided access was turned on..
Well I tried to see if it had helped, I opened Safari and triple clicked the home button and happily guided access started. I then stopped voided access and tried starting it in the Synology DS Video app where I normally use guided access. I triple clicked and nothing happens.
I tried going back to Safari, triple clicked, nothing happens.
Again I tried to turn off guided access, reboot turn it on again but it was already turned off.
As for now, my son can't use the iPad until a solution the this appears.
Anyone got some kind of solution?
Have a nice day!

Guided Access had worked fine for me in iOS 7 on my iPad 3 and on my iPhone 4s. However, since upgrading both devices to iOS 8 Guided Access has ceased to function for me. I have tried hard rebooting both devices (turning off Guided Access first), and it seemed to work briefly on one of the two devices -- the iPad I believe, but then the function failed once again. And now I can't get it to work at all on either device. I do hope Apple fixes this relatively soon as it is critical for the fun that my toddler grandson and I share together on these devices!

  • Please help.. ios 8 in ipad 2 not working well...

    Problem Ios 8 in Ipad 2, such as
    -hang,
    -crash,
    -hang during update apps,
    -bbm error,
    -five fingres closing app often failed,
    -slower process..
    but before ios 8, ipad 2 very health well.
    Apple, please fix it for ipad 2....

    Your iPad 2 crash and perform slow mostly because it is old, not suitable for running in iOS 8 though Apple has listed it in the compatible list. You have 2 options to improve its performance:
    1st, speed up iOS 8 on your iPad. To make it, you should try software, like SafeEraser to clear junk files and deleted files. Then delete unwanted apps, text messages, photos, and more, leaving more storage on the iPad for other items. Most of all, end multiple task while starting a new task. And you should also need to reduce motion effect and transparency.
    2nd, if the first way can't solve the crash and slow problem, you should consider a downgrade. Now you can downgrade iPad 2 from iOS 8 to iOS 7.1.2. but you have to do it in a hurry, because later Apple may close the verifying process for iOS 7. Here are steps:
    1). Download iOS 7.1.2 firmware according to your iPad model. there are multiple websites offering the download. Google it by yourself
    2). Make sure you have install the latest version of iTunes.
    3). Connect your iPad to computer via a USB cable.
    4). After detected, your iPad will be shown in the left column. Click it to show the control panel.
    Note: Make sure you have backups of your iPhone 4S. if not, backup it now.
    5). Under Summary tab,hold on Shift key for Windows (Option key for Mac )and click Restore iPad...
    6). In the pop-up window, find the firmware on your computer and click Open. Then， iTunes will downgrade your iPad to iOS 7.1.2.

  • Free apps included with iPad Air not working with VPP

    I can't disperse the free apps that come with the iPad Air using a VPP account. Apps like Pages are "free" with the iPad air, but cost $10 using VPP. I see it as a problem becuase the company purchased the device. The employee can download it as free but then they get ownership. Is there a solution to this?

  • View Account on iPad Air not working and can't sign on Verizon site

    I purchased a new iPad Air with cellular last week and successfully established an account with Verizon on the iPad. Up until Saturday I was able to sign into View Account on the iPad in Settings and saw that my usage amount stayed current. I also was able to create a sign-on on the Verizon website and login with no problem up until Saturday. Beginning Saturday View Account on the iPad says my sign in credentials are incorrect. I know they are correct. Not only that the Verizon website says "the activity you are attempting is not available. Because Verizon is not offering unlimited usage I need to closely monitor because my teenagers have been using the iPad. I called Verizon and they blamed Apple. Are any others experiencing this? Is the Verizon website down?

    I called Verizon at 1-800-786-8419 and rep reset the account which solved the problem.

  • 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.

  • After updating to iOS 8 the iPad Air is getting crashed frequently including safari

    After updating to iOS 8 the iPad Air is getting crashed frequently including safari.

    Have you tried to reset it? Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot and see if that helps.
    You may need to restore your iPad. That's where you back it up, then restore it to factory defaults, then put your backup back on so you don't lose any data. Sometimes a fresh start clears out any glitches and can help.

  • TS3899 Cannot send email with new iPad air.  Works fine with old iPad and iPhone.

    Cannot send email with new iPad air.  Works fine with old iPad and iPhone.  I have deleted account and reinstalled.

    Thanks.  I got the problem fixed.  Spent time with the Apple folks and was kicked up to a senior advisor.  It seems the problem was with my internet provider - Tmie Warner.  Remember I could use the old ipad and the iphone to send mail.  I checked all the specifics between the three units.  It seems that TW is changing over from the RR.com  to TWC.com.  Since the new ipad air was just set up, it fell under the new TWC mail specifics. 

  • How do I sync multiple devices on iTunes without apps that are only on an iPad Air not sync on other devices?

    How do I sync multiple devices on iTunes (iPad Air & iPhone 5) without apps that are only on an iPad Air not syncing on my iPhone 5? I have apps on the iPad that I do not want on the iPhone, but when I sync my iPhone I have apps that are on the iPad sync to it also. How do I fix this so only the apps/data on each device sync to it?

    Settings
    iTUnes and app store
    turn off automatic downloads for apps
    Then what you buy on one device only goes onto another if you want it to
