Ive tried 30 something different passwords i think somethings wrong i just want to shut it off

Hello CreedF,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
If you have forgotten the Restrictions passcode, you will have to perform a factory restore.
From the article:
iOS: Understanding Restrictions (parental controls)
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4213
Note: If you lose or forget a restriction passcode, you will need to perform a factory restore to remove it.
The note is located in step 3 of the article.
If you restore from a back up, that passcode restriction will be re applied.
All the best,
Sterling

In settings under general and in restrictions I'm trying to disable in app purchases but it is asking for a password but I don't remember setting up a password. What can I do?

How many attempts do you get before you have an issue in settings under restrictions while trying to turn off in-app purchases? It's asking me for a passcode but I don't recall ever having a passcode.

You need to set a password up before you can go ahead. It is separate from the one you have on the opening page of you iPad.

HT201304 If you set restrictions to on for your ipad or iphone & you set the password restriction to immediately for in-app purchases will it ask you for your password every time you make a purchase over a certain time period or just the first time you us

I am setting restrictions on my iphone and my ipad for my four year old son as he somehow purchased an app for $99 unbeknowst to me.
Does anyone know if you set your restrictions to ON, there is a setting that is called "Require Password" and there are two choices to choose from
"immediately" or "15 minutes". What I want to know is if my son asks me to purchase an app that costs $1 and I let him purchase it. Be entering my passcode
will it not ask him for any future purchases or an in-app purchase where they tend to rip you off. I want to ensure that it asks for a password every single time anything is purchased whether it is an in-app purchase or an app. I am unsure what the difference is between choosing immediately or 15 minutes on this specific Restrictions setting. Thank you.

Settings>General>Restrictions>Allowed Content>In-App Purchases>Off. Then: Settings>General>Restrictions>Allowed Content>Require Password...set this to "Immediately".
Doing the above will accomplish what you want.

HT1904 I have recently bought my 6 year old an iPod touch I have set an email and password for it but wen we try to download free apps in the app store we have to go through verification and then it says that there is a minimum age restriction and disall

When trying to download free apps it says there is a minimum age resriction and disallows

The apps are getting the age of your 6-year old from the Apple ID. I am not sure if there is anything you can do about it.

How can I set up my iPad to Remember my password in App Store for a determined period of time.. Ex: 2 minutes, for updates and purchasing?

Whenever I make purchases on my iPad in the App Store, it asks me for my Apple ID password. I'm fine with this when its a one off purchase, but when I have to make multiple purchases continuously it can be really annoying.
How wow can I get the App Store to remember my password for a short period of time (2-3 minutes) so I don't have to type it in with every purchase? I know it can be done as the other iPad in the house is set up this way, I just can seem to find how or where to change these settings...

There is Settings > General > Restrictions > Require Password which you can set to '15 minutes' - the only other option for the setting is 'Immediately', you won't be able to have it as 2 or 3 minutes.

My mum set up an iCloud account and forgot the password, and this caused me to create a new account. The new account works for the App Store and all that, but I can't change the initial iCloud account without the password. Help?

My mum set up an iCloud account for my iPhone 4 but forgot the password. This caused me to create a new account, and it can be used for the App Store and iTunes and all that, but I can't change the initial iCloud account (the one my mum made). My device keeps prompting me for the password every few minutes after updating to iOS 8, and I've tried every option possible to retrieve the password, but I don't even know the answers to the security questions and I can't find the password reset email anywhere and I don't know the back up emails my mum used. I literally cannot find any legitimate way to sign out of the initial iCloud account without entering a password (which neither I nor my parents know). Is there a way for me to retreive the password or change to my new account without the password?

I've had this iPad computer thing for a few months now. I used to just put in my password when I downloaded an app or such like. Now it wants me to set up 4 further questions and answers "for added security". How can I return to the old system?

I've had this iPad thing for a few months. It used to just ask me for my password, but now it is demanding I set up four questions and answers for
"added security". I don't want to do that, I just want to carry on as I was but the machine is preventing any app downloads etc.
Seems the stupid machine is in control.
How do I get it to listen when I threaten it with a good thrashing and a one way trip to the garbage unless it does what I say?
Thanks

You may have no need for additional but Apple does. They don't want your iTunes account to be hacked and then go complaining to them that their security procedures are not up to standards.

Its really absurd to even ask this in light of the information that you have been given already. The "old fashioned" way is gone. It's Apple's store, Apples's rules and IMO - its a wise decision on Apple's part.
You do not have to comply at all, but you will not be able to purchase from iTunes anymore, but nobody is going to force you to do something that you do not want to do.

I am a US resident but spend several months each year at my house in England. Is it possible for me to download UK iPad apps from the iTunes Store? Right now they seem to be restricted. Can I set up an alternate iTunes account using a UK credit card?

When you go to Starbucks, you'll need to first go to Settings on your iPad and choose Network. You'll see ATTWIFI as one of the available networks. When you click on that to select it, you should be immediately sent to AT&T's sign in page. You just need to check the box that says you agree to their terms and conditions and then hit the Connect button and you'll be online. One warning, however. If your Starbucks is anything like those in Manhattan, be prepared for really slow wifi. It can be a real pain waiting for pages to load sometimes.

How do i set up generated app password for gmail

Hi. I don't see an option for setting up generated app passwords for my gmail accounts on the iPad settings menu. (yahoo has a line for password on this screen)
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling (thinking maybe I should use the password on installing), but that doesn't work.
.(here is the pic for gmail options which doesn't give option for password)
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.

if you don't setup the mail account on your ipad but just sync mails from your computer to the ipad, I think it would display like that
you need to add the mail account rather then just sync mails from your computers mail program
