IOS 7.1.1 - can I disable triple-home-click going to Guided Access?

Topic says it all, basically. Several times I've accidentally turned on GuidedAccess (where it speaks all the commands), by inadvertently hitting Home 3 times. I know I can turn it back off the same way, but is there a way to either completely disable the triple-home-click starting Guided Access, or at least re-assign that key combination to some other, less irritating, option?
I have iOS 7.1.1, and there is NO "Triple Home Click" option in Settings -> General -> Accessibility as there apparently used to be in earlier iOS versions (6 and before?).

That is not technically Guided Access. Its Voice Over. Guided Access locks the iPad to a single App.
Yes, you can disable it.
Settings->General->Accessibility->Accessibility Shortcut-> Tap on Voice Over to remove the checkmark and turn off the triple click shortcut.

Guided Access - can one disable iPad by trying to unlock Guided Access?

URGENT - NEED TO KNOW:
If someone triple clicks Home Button and trys wrong passcode 10 times to unlock Guided Access will the iPad become disabled?

If you have set up that iPad to disable after 10 wrong passcodes, then yes. But you can turn off that setting. It's right at the bottom of the 'Passcode Lock' settings panel.

Can you disable the home button?

My Ipod will close apps and go to the home screen for no reason. Can you disable the home button/function to prevent this from happening?

http://nealbo.hubpages.com/hub/Recalibrate-Unresponsive-iPhone-Home-Button
Step 1: Open a stock iPhone app. e.g. Apples Stocks, Weather, SMS, Email etc.
Step 2: Press and hold the power button until the swipe to power off screen appears.
Step 3: Let go of the iPhone's power button
Step 4: Press and hold the iPhone's home button. Do not let go until the power off screen disappears.
And that's it, your home button is recalibrated and should hopefully now be more responsive.
This seemed to make it better, but not fixed.

Can I disable the force click action for 'tap to click' in the 2015 version?

In the 2015 MBP version can I disable the force click action in system preferences, and use to tap to click as with previous trackpads?

Hey petunia42,
You should be able to disable Force Click on the new MacBook Pros, as noted in the following article:
To turn off Force click, deselect the “Force click and haptic feedback” checkbox. This will disable the functionality described in the Trackpad preferences pane.

HT5509 In an app that was frozen, I triple-clicked the home button and activated "guided access". I never set a passcode but can't exit GA without one. Is there a default passcode when one is not set by user? ipad2 ios 6.something

We have an iPad 2 running ios 6.something - I can't check that right now because we can't seem to exit "guided access". I was playing Clumsy Ninja when it froze. I didn't know about forcing closed or removing an app from the recent bar yet at the time, so I was looking through settings for some kind of intuitively obvious admin tool for shutting down a jammed app - to no avail. Then I reopened the game and tried different things: holding the home button down, pressing the home button multiple times. When I did that, "guided access" launched. It informed me that it had deactivated the buttons, and asked me if I wanted to shut down parts of screen. No solution in that, so I attempted to exit GA at which point ipad requested a passcode - I never set a general passcode or a GA passcode, so I have no idea what to put in. I have tried rebooting by means of Home and Power buttons - it reopens Clumsy Ninja with GA active.
Is there a default "Guided Access" passcode that would be in place since I haven't set one?

Nope . I was the only one using it and I did not set a passcode . That would have been a red flag for me . We don't have it configured to require a passcode for logon and I would not have created one intentionally .
Thanks for responding Diavonex .

How can I disable the shift-click slow motion special effects in Mac OS 10.6?

How can I disable the slow motion special effects that occur when you do something and hold shift? (By the way, the terminal command doesn't work in 10.6)

I'd like to know how to do this now too since the terminal command doesn't work in Lion / ML. Anyone know how?
And Leroy - the reason is because I have custom hot keys configured and the shift key is a key I want to use for this command. I would like to know how to disable the slow motion effect permanently since I never need it and would certainly like to use my shift key as a modifier for various keyboard commands.

Can't disable voiceover even it's deactivated in Accessibility Control Panel

Hi,
I've recently purchased a headphones, so every time an error message appears in Yosemite this female voice is punishing my ears. I've tried to disable VoiceOver in Accessibility Control Panel, but this voice keeps speaking. So I guess that configuration is in another place. How can I disable this?
Googled it (sorry, search it in internet finder) but every body says the same about this tick in Accessibility Panel.
Kind Regards, and thanks for your time. Manel.

If I understand you correctly, you ought to reinstall. At this point, even if you're able to resurrect this installation, it might be severely unstable. Mostly because of my proclivity for messing around with settings until I screw something up, I have a tremendous amount of experience with the recovery console, and my success rate is not inspiring. If you have data you need on the drive, your best course of action is to reinstall to a different boot drive, and once you’re able to boot, archive the files you want from the corrupted installation. Then you can wax both drives, restore the data and get everything back the way you want it. Getting your data back from the recovery console is basically a lost cause since it doesn't support wildcards (as in, you'd have to copy every freaking file one at a time).
I re-read the above paragraph, and it's not the clearest thing I've ever written, so if you need clarification on anything, let me know.

How can I disable Library/Home Sharing in iTunes?

So, i have two apple computers connected to the same network, one iMac connected via ethernet cable, one MBP connected to wifi. There are also other apple products connected to the same network but i don't think they have any relation to the problem that i have.
On both machines i have Home sharing turned off and i have even disabled all the options from the General sharing menu (outside itunes). Despite all this, i can see on both machines the other machine's library and i can play everything, music, videos, playlists, etc. What is even stranger is that in iTunes general preferences i have unchecked 'shared libraries' so i shouldn't see it even if it was shared. I have even tried to activate home sharing but to select nothing in the sharing list...no change. i am not even loged in to itunes or app store. Both macs have 10.8.3 and itunes 11.
What i suspect may be related to this:
Initially i had only the macbookpro with a user id, password, library name 'username's library'. After i've bought the imac i have set it with the same accound name, password and of course library name was the same. At some point i had home sharing on both machines since i used the same apple for it.
Does anyone know how to fix this? I mean normally i wouldn't care but i think that because of this, my imac does not go correctly to sleep, or wakes up when i open itunes on the other machine. I have wake on demand ON and i do not want to turn it off since i keep it on to ssh from the MBP and run some scripts, etc while the iMac is sleeping
Any ideea is welcomed! Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You would only need homesharing on your iPad if you want to use the remote app (which is quite handy actually). To be able to use the iPad with the Apple TV, you use AirPlay, but the iPad won't show up in a list on the Apple TV, you send content from the iPad itself.
Assuming both devices are on the same network and that AirPlay is not turned off on the Apple TV, then simply tap on the screen when you are watching content you wish to stream to your Apple TV, then tap the airplay icon that appears in the control bar, choose the Apple TV from the menu that appears.
When displaying the content you wish to mirror on the iPad 2 (or better), iPad Mini, iPhone 4S (or better), double tap the home button (quickly) and swipe the bottom row of apps to the right to reveal the playback controls, tap the AirPlay icon and select your Apple TV from the list of available devices.

HT2188 ummm my screen wont work its blue and i wonder if i can fix it at home without going to apple stores

i need help ASAP please

If the device is not being detected in iTunes, has a different USB port or sync cable been tried? What about a reboot of the comptuer?
As for pictures/videos taken with the device, they are designed to be copied to a computer on a regular basis. Did you choose to not do this prior to attempting the update? They may be lost at this point (although they should be in the backup, but no guarantees).

I can't disable captions/subtitles in videos after iOS 7 update.

Since the iOS 7 update, I can't disable the captions/subtitles in videos. That is to say, I never had them enabled, but they were on anyway! I saw someone else changed the language from Australian English to English, and that worked, but I'd rather look for a solution that doesn't involve that. It's not really fixing the issue.

The only thing that worked for me was to change my language settings in general settings (international) to English rather than British English. It worked for me.

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.

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!
- Mark

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!

Guided access wont work ios 8-ipod touch 5

when ever i triple click the home button and tap guided access, it doesnt do anything, the menu just goes away, its enabled in settings and it worked in ios 7 just fine.

You can try the standard fixes:
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
That problem has not been reported here before so I do not know if it is a bug in the update

How do I disable my home button

I seen in iOS 6 that you can disable your home button. It stated "It allows a parent, teacher or administrator to limit iOS device to one app by disabling the home button"

Nevermind I got it. It was in the Accessibility under guided access.
