How can I keep Guided Access going after battery is drained?

I sometimes put my son's iPod into Guided Access mode so he can listen to music, but not play games (i.e. at bedtime). He discovered that he can defeat Guided Access by draining the battery completely. He has an iPod Touch MD057LL/A (iOS 6.1.6).
Has anyone else encountered this weakness in the Guided Access feature? Does anyone know how to fix it?
Thanks.

The good news. Congrats, you have a smart kid. The bad news. That's a loophole he exploited. There is no fix currently. In fact, he can just disable it by holding the home and sleep/wake buttons until he sees the Apple logo to do a reboot. It's only a matter of time before he figures that one out and doesn't have to wait for the battery to drain.

How can I keep my text format after pasting a text with a different format?

No matter when and where I start to write some text (whether it is a SImpleText, E-Mails, or anyother application's doc), if I have to cut and paste a text from a different source that is formatted differently than my original text (ie. the one I am already using ), once I have pasted the differently formatted text in my doc, the typeset changes while it continues to type with the same formatt used in the text I just pasted.
How can I continue typing with the same text formatt used before pasting the new text, after pasting the new text, without having to change size, font style etc. Is there a short cut?
What I have been doing to avoid this problem is: I usually type my entire text content (whether it is an E-Mail, or other doc) then, once I am done typing, I paste the text that was cut from a differently formatted document, so that my text remains with the same formatt in its integrity, while the pasted text stands out differently, but it is a bit complex doing that , because I not only have to remember to paste the other text when I am done typing (I run the risk of forgetting to paste the text I need to insert--which has happened already) or I keep struggling with my formatt change after the pasting of the new text, so my document text starts looking like the same text as the one which was just pasted.
Thanks for your time reading this!

(1) First, let's make sure we're talking about the same thing. By "SImpleText, E-Mails" you mean TextEdit and Mail, right?
(2) Some apps (TextEdit, Mail) use the text engine provided by Mac OS X. By and large, these apps will behave in a similar manner. Others (eg, MS Word) use their own text engine, and their behaviour can be quite different. For such an app you need to consult its manual.
(3) In TextEdit, if you want the pasted text to adopt the current style, then use kurt188's tip.
(4) However, if you may want the pasted text to retain its own attributes, while you continue to type in the previous style. I don't know of any shortcut or command that will achieve this. However, you can try to work around it.
(4.1) TextEdit has the Copy Style (⌘⌥C) and Paste Style (⌘⌥V) commands. If you haven't yet used it, ⌘⌥V will insert the default style. So type, paste, ⌘⌥V, then continue typing. If you have used, it will insert whatever style was copied. You can, type, ⌘V, click somewhere before the pasted text, ⌘⌥C, click after the pasted text, ⌘⌥V, and continue typing.
(4.2) Alternatively, type your text. Then type one more character, eg, "x". Then ←, ⌘V, ⇧→, and start typing. The new text should adopt "x"'s format. (This should work in Mail, too. I don't know, because IMHO e-mail should always be plain text.)

How can you keep the wifi connected after logoff

I have a brand new MBP with 10.8.4. I would like to login to my AD account but because the wireless is disconnected, I get the red light and the "Network accounts are unavailable". The machine binded to AD just fine....
Thanks for any help.

I have no idea how to keep it connected, but you should have no problems logging back in to the network. The upside to haveing the WIFI shut down when you are logged out is that nobody can remotely connect to your system over WIFI. A wired ethernet connection remains active.
The red light is more informative that indicating you have a problem. I have the same symptoms with my work network and have no problems. The network accounts problem is for those that are setup to have no local login and require a network connection for authentication. Is this what you have?

Found the Solution to my problem. Just had to put cursor on the corners of the open window and "stretch" the window to the left, to the right, then up only to the point of the screen where the "Menu" is still visible. This solved the problem I had. Thanks.

i've been trying to import a cd into itunes that has different artists on the cd. (queen of the damned soundtrack) after its done, all the tracks aren't together. its all sepreated. how can i keep all the tracks together?

Happens all the time and you are probably correct about cause.
Some CD manufacturers use various forms of copy protection on discs designed to interfere with computers reading the discs. I have found iTunes to be very picky about this too. I have had several discs iTunes would not acknowledge but could rip with another program. Other times the fix is as simple as cleaning the disc ro turning on error correction for the ripping process.

If possible I would arrange for a good service center to go over it. Hopefully they have a variety of parts in stock. They can test and verify all is working. The previous attempts are based on guesses by the person at the other end of the phone without diagnostic tests to assess the culprit. It is extremely unlikely for a webcam to fail & for it & a Mic to fail together should be an indicator to a good technician it is something else. EG Motherboard
Take it to a servicing dealer and wait for it.

I'm not aware of an online keyboard that is available and can do this. Most likely it would need to be a function of the app itself (which can and sometimes do add functionlaity to the keyboard).
Wireless keyboard might handle that, if that's an option for you.

When Mail is Open on iMac, how can I keep mail from also going to iPhone?

I spend most of the day on my iMac, with Apple Mail open. Over a few hours, I get dozens or more emails. I deal with them on my Mac as they come in or I have time. Now the same emails also show up on my iPhone and iPad. How can I keep from having the emails sent to my iPhone and iPad when I have mail open on my iMac? It used to be that when my iMac was open and mail on, I couldn't get mail on my iPhone, which is just what I wanted.
I've messed around with mail preferences, but maybe don't know what to set. (I know I can inactivate my account on the iPhone and iPad, but don't always remember to do that.)

If you can remember to do that, your problem is solved.

Make sure that Firefox gets installed properly.
Open the DMG file and drag to Firefox program to the application folder on your hard drive.
You shouldn't double-click the Firefox application to run it from the disk image, but drag it out of the DMG folder instead.

How can I keep a photo image from fading away on my tv using apple tv.

How can I keep a photo image from fading away on my tv using apple tv?

Thanks for you reply. When I paint, I bring up the photo as you suggested. I begin painting. After about 10 minutes or so, the photo goes blank. And, I have to start the process over again to get that same photo. It interrupts the painting process. I think it goes blank due to a sleep function. I have gone into the Apple TV settings and turned off the sleep function. But, this does not seem to work. What can I do to keep the image on the TV screen permanently?

How do I keep iMessage from going to the upper right and out of sight?

Imessage in Mavericks at random, on sleep, and when minimized, goes to upper right on the screen and I cant get it back. Even Mission control can not access it. I have close iMessage and restart. How do I keep it from going to the upper right and out of sight?

Hi,
I think a Screen Shot will help.
Use the CMD+shift+4 and then decribe around the area when you see the cross hairs.
To Post here use the Camera icon in the reply screen and then select/navigate to the Screen Shot (normally on your Desktop) and select it.
Then use the Insert Image button.
I don't use Sleep so I can't speak to that.
Minimise should put it in the DOCK.
Do you mean coming out of Minimise ?
Actually where is your DOCK (mine is at the bottom and I nearly forgot other people have it in different places)
If it is on the right is the Finder icon top of the icons ?
If the windows of an App are minimised then it does not appear in Mission Control (some of this is mixed with normal behaviour).

How can I keep MAC connected to a specific router on my 3 router home network

How can I keep MAC connected to a specific router on my 3 router home network? Closest router is Airport in same room but keeps jumping to Belkin router one floor below.

In the settings, be sure the Channel your router works on is Different than the other.
Be sure the Security is set, so you login to the correct router with password.
Have the computer remember the home wireless router of your choice. Not just any.
Be sure your router in top in the list of connection sources for your computer.
•Resetting an AirPort base station FAQ
Perhaps you should check into and maybe reset the airport or other base station
to be sure it is correct. Maybe after you check the localized System Preferences
settings for Network, then also into the router. IF it is an Apple AirPort, the info
should be easy to find in the Help viewer in your OS X or online at Apple Support.

My computer with my original library has crashed, how can i keep all the songs on my iphone, but still add new songs from my new library?

My computer has died and will not be working ever again. Problem is, i have all of my songs on that computer in my itunes library as well as on my phone. Now i want to add some songs to my phone from some new cds and it tells me i will loose all my songs on my phone right now when i perform the sync. How can i keep all of the songs on my iphone because now i do not have copies of these songs anymore except on my iphone?????? From what i have read, itunes is a joke because it only goes one way apparently. Not happy with itunes right now, more then a bit of a joke

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion. Use your backup copy of your computer to put everything on the new one.
If for some reason you have failed to backup, big mistake, then you can transfer itunes purchases from the iphone to the computer: File>Transfer Purchases
You may be able to buy a 3rd party program to get any other music off of the iphone ( not supported by Apple).
When you sync the iphone, it will erase the current content and replace with content form the new computer.
"Not happy with itunes right now, more then a bit of a joke"
Not itunes fault that you did not do the very basics and maintain a backup copy.
