HT201304 iPad restriction settings

If i set up an iPad with restrictions for installing apps, but leave the accounts setting to allow changes thus allowing to user to change the apple ID, can the user then connect the iPad to iTunes, change the account and install any pre-bought apps on to that iPad thus overriding the restriction setting? Or will it not sync therefore not installing any pre-bought apps?
Thanks

Pre-bought apps have a specific Apple ID assigned. They will not work on a different Apple ID in general.

HT201304 Save restriction settings

Is there a way to save restrictions settings so they dont reset every time I turn them off? Our children use our iPad so we enable the restrictions so they CAN'T buy and delete apps. Everytime I turn these off to use for myself they seem to reset and when turning back on I have to set all the settings again.

I agree - let us set the restrictions once and then enable/disable as needed. One easy example is that I restrict access to the App store along with installing or deleting applications for my son but when I want to add/delete an app, I disable restrictions and when done, I have to go in and reestablish ALL of the restricitions I want.

HT201304 iPad Mini restriction settings

CCan anyone tell me where can I find restrictions settings in iPad Mini after 8.1.3 update...???

There should be a Passcodes option just before the Privacy option. You may need to try rebooting:
Rebooting your iDevice
Hold down the Sleep (On-Off) and Home buttons together for about 10-15 seconds or until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears - then let go of the buttons. The device should begin to start up.
If this does not work, then you need to reinstall 8.1.3 by Restoring.
iCloud- Restore your iOS device from iCloud
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

HT201304 I need to restrict access to Settings on an iPad so settings like VoiceOver cannot be activated while letting them access multiple apps on the device. Is their any way to restrict access to settings without locking the device with a PIN?

This is so our guests cannot tamper or disable the device. We are already using Apple Configurator but their does not seem to be a way to lock down settings without a PIN.

There's a lot of restrictions information in Chapter 19 of the 4.2 User Guide.
http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad
By the way, a more extensive version of the User Manual is available at no charge through iBooks.

Can the iPad Mini restriction settings control downloading books on the Kindle Reader App?

I have a lot of books on my Kindle Account, and I'm about to give my kids iPad Minis. I want to put the Kindle Reading App on their devices, as I have a bunch of books that they love on my account, but I also have lots of books that I don't want them reading, just yet. Can the restrictions settings on the Mini create passcode access if they want to download a book on their own?

The restrictions that you use in the settings are only for content from the App Store, iTunes and the iBooks Store. As far as I know, there is no way to restrict access to the Kindle books in the settings. I have the Kindle app myself, but I don't know if there is a way to do what you want to do in the app itself or in your Amazon.com account.

Try and force the iPad Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.

I set restrictions on a child's iPod and can't remember the code to change them.

Thanks. Do you know how many attempts I get before the iPod locks?
No, but you will probably be warned. Also if you happen to have a backup from before you set your Restrictions you can do a restore from that backup. But if the latest backup was done after you set the restrictions, you are out of luck.

Enable A Guest Account So We Could Save Restriction Settings

How about a setting that will enable at boot up an option to log in main user (admin) or Guest account? And in the main user's restriction settings allow you to configure what apps the guest account can access. Then all you would have to do is set that 4 character password prompt for main user and allow guest to log in without a password. Then depending on your restriction settings you could make this thing a little bit more secure for families and multiple users. Any app purchases would still be under main user and need a password. I think this is doable. So say we all! ?

I guess I don't see it as a personal device. Since it has the ability to replace what most users use a laptop for. iPhone's size was holding it back from being the netbook killer. Now we have the larger version the iPad. iPad's OS has already started of on it's own path from the iPhone OS. So why not just put some chrooted dummy guest account option in it. So the multiple user household can have some way to save restriction settings and protect the main account.
My kids (5 and 3)are very good with my old G4 iBook and 1st Gen iPhone. Although there was that one time my son pulled all the keys off the iBook and the iPhone has been dropped like a hundred times on the hardwood but it still works.
If iPad is going to be a wonderful tool to help educate my kids since I didn't have to show my kids how to work the iPhone. They just figured it out. I hope some good EDU apps come out soon.

How to reset the ipad restriction code

how do i reset the restriction on my ipad. i dont know if my grand kid did it because i dont remember putting a restriction code

Options for when an iOS device gets locked because of forgotten passcode:
Restore (and reset passcode) on your device by connecting it to the last computer to which it was connected:
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
If you cannot connect it to the computer to which the device was last connected (or the device was never connected to a computer) you will have to use recovery mode to completely reset the device, losing all data:
iOS: Unable to update or restore - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 - recovery mode (e.g., cannot connect to computer last used to sync device, iTunes still asks for a password)
If you mean a restrictions settings password, this requires a complete recovery of the phone as in the second link.

If I locked the restrictions settings and thought I knew the password but didn't apparently, is there a way to unlock it now? How? HELP!

If you've forgotten the code, then was it on the iPad when you last synced/backed up to your computer's iTunes ? If not then you can restore to your backup. If it was on the iPad when you last backed up then you will need to reset the iPad - there is no way to override the code, and if it is on the backup then restoring to it will keep the code in place.

I forgot my password in the restrictions settings. I have 8 failed attempts now. How can I reset the pass code?

3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note:
1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
2. If you did not do step 4 properly, start all over again.

View Account under Cellular Data in iPad Air Settings not working

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" when I try to sign there. 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 and said contact them. This does not seem like an Apple issue to me. Anyone else experiencing this? If I go over my usage limit, it's expensive.

Yes I installed the MyVerizon app and returns an error.
I been searching around the Internet and everyone is saying that after you initially activate with one carrier on the iPad Air you can remove the SIM and replace with another from a different carrier. According to one article, Apple engineers included a wide range of bands for the iPad Air. Here's the article: http://gigaom.com/2013/11/01/ipad-air-with-lte-tip-you-can-switch-carrier-sims-a t-will/

Yes.
You need to,turn on Home Sharing in iTunes on the computer. The computer and the iPad will need to be on the same wireless network. You will also need to make sure the same AppleID accosiared with your iTunes is also added to the Music app in Settings.
