How do you lock the ipad so only one app can be used
I want to force a student to communicate using an ipad communication app. I want the only thing on the screen to be that one app. How do I lock the app so it is the only one that can be used on the ipad? Is there a way to lock a page? ie when he has navigated to the correct page to prevent the child from exiting and make him make a choice from that page?
Thanks!
You can lock an iPad to a given app via Guided Access:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5509
To try and lock a web browser to a single page you'll need to investigate third-party browsers such as MobiCIP or the McGruff browser and see if they allow you to lock to a single page. Safari in iOS 6 or earlier has no controls and in iOS 7 allows you to restrict to a given site or set of sites but not to a single web page.
Regards.

Is there a way to block one of the monitors, so only one app can use it?
Ok, here is the story: Right now I'm using Logitech G15 keyboard. It's almost 10 years old, so it's time to buy something new. However, I'm quite used to having additional screen with computer info (date/time/CPU and RAM usage/temp/etc) without switching my
Windows. However, Logitech G19s is the last keyboard with screen feature and it's still quite ridiculously expensive. So - my idea is to create my own "screen with PC info".
There are some 5-10 inch screens that I could plug in and create a full screen app, that will show all the data I need. However, having a 5 inch screen connected could mess up my "workflow" on my full size monitors.
So, my question is: Is there a way to create an app, that runs on system start, takes "ownership" of that small monitor, disabling it for Windows to (for example) extend desktop?Hello Quarien,
>>Is there a way to create an app, that runs on system start, takes "ownership" of that small monitor, disabling it for Windows to (for example) extend desktop?
If I understand correctly, you want your application to be displayed on the extended screen, if it is, you could have a try the
SetWindowPlacement function and
GetWindowPlacement function to determines the monitor the app runs on, for details, you could check this link:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/52755/what-determines-the-monitor-my-app-runs-on
And if you are using C#, there is a demo example:
public partial class Form1 : Form
[DllImport("user32.dll")]
static extern bool SetWindowPlacement(IntPtr hWnd, [In] ref WINDOWPLACEMENT lpwndpl);
[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)]
private struct WINDOWPLACEMENT
public int length;
public int flags;
public int showCmd;
public System.Drawing.Point ptMinPosition;
public System.Drawing.Point ptMaxPosition;
public System.Drawing.Rectangle rcNormalPosition;
//Definitions For Different Window Placement Constants
const UInt32 SW_HIDE = 0;
const UInt32 SW_SHOWNORMAL = 1;
const UInt32 SW_NORMAL = 1;
const UInt32 SW_SHOWMINIMIZED = 2;
const UInt32 SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED = 3;
const UInt32 SW_MAXIMIZE = 3;
const UInt32 SW_SHOWNOACTIVATE = 4;
const UInt32 SW_SHOW = 5;
const UInt32 SW_MINIMIZE = 6;
const UInt32 SW_SHOWMINNOACTIVE = 7;
const UInt32 SW_SHOWNA = 8;
const UInt32 SW_RESTORE = 9;
public Form1()
InitializeComponent();
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
WINDOWPLACEMENT param = new WINDOWPLACEMENT();
param.length = Marshal.SizeOf(typeof(WINDOWPLACEMENT));
param.showCmd = 5; //SW_SHOWNORMAL
param.ptMaxPosition.X = 100;
SetWindowPlacement(this.Handle, ref param);

How do you update the ipad 4.3.5 with a computer?
how do you update the ipad 4.3.5 with a computer?
Update it from iTunes on a computer as described at the bottom of this article; there isn't a Software Update option in General on iOS versions prior to 5.0. It can only be updated directly to the newest iOS release supported by the device’s hardware, which is iOS 7.1.1 for devices with at least 512MB of RAM.
The maximum iOS version for the third generation iPod touch and original iPad is 5.1.1.
If you don't know what device you have, append the last three characters of its serial number to http://www.everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/?search_keywords= and load the page.

How do you lock the screen on iphone 4?
How do you lock the screen on iphone 4 while on a call? I mute calls, activate face time and I have even called someone by accident during a call. I know there has to be a way to fix this. Please HELP!
It locks automatically when you hold it to your head.
If it fails to do this, then remove the case and see if it solves it.
If it does not, then do the basics - restart, reset, restore.
If that does not solve it, then make an appointment at the genius bar. -

How do you calibrate the iPad battery?
How do you calibrate the iPad battery and is it necessary to discharge battery 100%. I have the 3 rd generation iPad, it has been almost a year since I purchased it and the battery when fully charged reads 100%. Recently, I visited my local Jump Plus store and the staff said I should drain the batteries on my iPad & iPhone completely until they are dead and recharge once a month. Is this accurate? It is my understanding that you should not drain the batteries completely? Also, is that the same as calibrating the battery?
For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).

how do you configure the ipad to print air print but of A4 size please ??????
Frankie,
The usual setting is in Printing Preferences.
In case you haven't found it yet - it has been a while since your original post - you may have your tray setting stuck on the 4X6 tray.
I can provide details and "how-to" if you need more help.
Printer model info would be helpful, and do you have your printer software loaded yet?
I hope this helps!
We work hard to help!

HT4993 How do you turn the weird sound off when sending a text using the iPhone 4S
How do you turn the weird sound off when sending a text using the iPhone 4S?
Go to Settings-Sounds-Text Tone and change to None. You're referring to the sound when posting a message to someone else, correct? The only issue is if you set to none, you will not hear the incoming either.

I have set hyperlinks within my ibook author document, they work perfectly until i export and view on the ipad, when only one or none work, (hyperlinks to website not working at all) what am i doing wrong?
An external hyperlink should handoff to Safari and leave iBooks.
If that's not happening, perhaps there is something misconfigured on your iPad? Have you manually confirmed those links work in Safari on your iPad? -
How to you update the html once a Mail app is published?
I have a sample Office 365 Mail app
https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/Outlook-Email-Forwarder-App-650a5b41/view/Discussions/0?showDiscussionForm=True
The app loads great and I can see run it ok. But if I update the HTML page it never gets updated. How do I update the code for the mail app once it is up and running? I was able to update it once but am not sure what I did.
Any suggestions?Hi,
>> But if I update the HTML page it never gets updated. How do I update the code for the mail app once it is up and running?
In debug mode, you need to reload the app by click the mail app to reflect the changes.
>> How to you update the html once a Mail app is published?
If you have already published the web application (for example, on Azure), you need to re-publish the web application to reflect the page changes.
Please let me know whether it works for you.

Jeffrey
