Ipad put in Kiosk Mode

I have an iPad (3rd Generation, 5.1.1) that is goign to be in a public setting, i would like it locked down completly and only show 5 game Apps on the screen. Is there a way to do this?

Hi -
An Enterprise version of our Kiosk Pro app would be able to launch the game apps, however, you'd need the games be able to exit back to Kiosk Pro.
You will also need the games to time out and go to Kiosk Pro whenever it sensed that the customer has walked away.
If you have access to the game source code, then you can do what you want.
Good luck!

Putting PDFs into Kiosk mode on iPad

Can you put an iPad into Kiosk mode (disable of screen menu's etc.) while viewing a PDF?
We have a product catalogue that we'd like to display on our iPad at an Exhibition... the iPad stand will disable the home button, but a PDF will still display screen menu's once tapped.
I have seen KioskPro as an App but it does 1000 more things than we actually need - so I wondered whether there was a dead simple solution out there?
I have done a fair bit of browsing on this, but not found a straight answer... yet I'm sure it's done every day!!
Thanks

Hi Simbek,
Kiosk Pro and Kiosk Pro Plus will display PDFs.
Its capabilities are descibed here: http://kioskproapp.com/help.html#settings_pdf
Have fun,

How can I lock, put in lost mode or wipe memory on my stolen iPad if it is the only apple product I own?

How can I lock, put in lost mode or wipe memory on my stolen iPad if it is the only apple product I own?

I have already tried this and it doesn't work. It only says no devices. Suppose this means that whoever stole it have already wiped the memory so they can use or sell it. Although I would think the serial number should be connected to the hardware permanently somehow. Don't know how you do that on an iPad that requires a pass code to login to.

Presentations with Video in Kiosk mode on iPad

Hi
I'm looking for a way to show presentations on the iPad that have a mix of slides and embedded video, and to prevent naive users from accidentally exiting the presentation.
What I have is a Keynote presentation with couple of static introductory slides, then a series of slides with 3-5 minute videos on each, then a series of static slides at the end. I tried Keynote on the iPad but it was unintuitive to navigate even for an experienced iPad user: it is too easy to exit View mode and return to Edit mode. Someone new to the iPad often makes unclear gestures and random taps.
There was no obvious way to control the video playback either, eg when flipping backwards through the slides. I could work around this by adding a "click to play" image as the first few frames of each video...
Nice to have (but not essential) is a way to lock the user into the application, so that if they accidentally or deliberately press the Home button it will stay in the Presentation.
I've hunted for ages on the App Store but not found anything suitable. Your suggestions welcome.
Thanks for your help

Still not clear to me. It is an interesting challenge and I'd like to help figure it out. It'll be a learning for both of us. My questions are...
What is "Kiosk mode" and how is it indicated?
Do you want the video playing (and visible) behind the picture slides?
Will the picture slides be appearing and disappearing individually (i.e. there will not be more than one cast member visible at any one time)?
Are the 35 picture slides of 35 cast members with their names?
Do you have two distinct videos?
I am still of the opinion that the videos will be the only two slides in this presentation (with their respective lengths indicated) and that the pictures of the cast members will be placed on these slides as inserts and they will enter and exit using build-in and build-out parameters which will add up to the total time of the videos.
Like I said, it's a learning experience for both of us. Are you up for it?

Was using Ipad and put in sleep mode and it has shut down and wont turn back on

I was using my Ipad last night and put into sleep mode when finished. Was charged at 98% and now will not turn back on. I have tried resetting but nothing works.

Resetting like this?
Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen Then let go of the buttons and let the iPad start up.

Can't put IE Metro into full kiosk mode Win 8.1 Enterprise or set IE desktop as default in Assigned Access

I have searched everywhere for this answer. Kiosk mode/assigned access is excellent. But it appears that you can only use IE Modern (Metro) for assigned access and the problem with that is I have found no way to completely lock down IE Modern.
I can only partially lock it down but users can still get to the address bar and settings very easily.
I either need some advice on setting IE to complete lockdown or how to set IE desktop for Assigned Access.

I am afraid there is no such feature in metro IE. Maybe you could submit a feedback to
IE connect

Windows and iTunes won't recognize my iPad outside of recovery mode

Okay, so there's a lot.
1) Unless I put the iPad into recovery mod, plugging in my iPad to my laptop gets no alert sound whatsoever, meaning it's not being recognized. The only thing that I DO get, is the iPad charging. However, there's more! My iPad sometimes appears like it's not even being plugged in, no charging, no recognition. But it's not my cable, I tried my brother's newer cable and the same thing happened. I plugged my cable into my wall charger and into a socket -- works perfectly.
2) Sometimes, the iPad would get detected by Windows and install drivers, but iTunes still wouldn't pick it up or start automatically. I checked into the device manager and Devices and Printers, it was listed there and the status said it was working fine. I tried updating the drivers, it said the drivers were the best ones available. This is no longer happening however, due to further developments listed lower.
3) I tried everything here: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows and nothing works there. That includes uninstalling all iTunes/Apple related software in the specified order somewhere in the help sections, restarting the laptop, and then installing iTunes and restarting again. Didn't work.
4) I tried stopping/starting the Apple Mobile Device process in Control Panel>Services. No effect.
4) I tried the steps where you go into Common Files>apple>x>xdrivers and using the file there, but it would say it's incompatible or something to that effect. So that didn't work.
5) I restored my iPad without iTunes. When I attempted to restore the iPad with iTunes, it gave me an error message (4005,I think), and said it could not be restored. Full stop. Thus why I wiped the iPad using the option in Settings>General on the iPad itself. But wiping it achieved nothing.
6) I put my iPad back into recovery mode to get it recognized in iTunes and Windows again, where before I could get out of recovery mode, I can no longer do that and it appears to be stuck on that screen. Turning it off doesn't change that, because when I turn it back on, it goes directly back to the screen with the Cable + iTunes logo image.
7)Note again, that being in recovery mode will *almost* always allow my laptop and iTunes to recognize the iPad. If I look into Devices and Printers now, it doesn't show up as iPad, it shows up as Apple Mobile USB Device Driver. in iTunes, it shows up as iPad and I get the notice "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery..."
8) My iPhone works fine and can update, get immediately recognized, etc. So I'm also sure there's no problem with my USB ports in terms of being functional.
Please help me. This has been really frustrating.

You should use a USB port on the back of your computer when you connect. What other devices do you have connected to the USB chain (other than your keyboard and mouse)?
You need to read this article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305136 Even if no new driver is available for your computer, reload the USB Driver following the instructions in the article.
Once your iPod can be seen in Device Manager in Windows, change the drive letter on the iPod to something higher (try M or P) and then reformat it (FAT32 format, don't do a quick format). After this Restore it in iTunes.

Need Safari showing Full screen in Kiosk Mode

What we need:
150 iPads shall start a web page in Full Screen Mode and they shall not be able to leave the Webpage (Exam-situation). I can set the safari into Kiosk Mode but the Safari is not full screen. On the other hand I can create a web app, which is full screen but I cannot start the web app in Kiosk Mode. What I really need is to start a web app in Kiosk Mode. Any Hints? We really need a solution for that.
Cheers
Detlef

There is an app specifically for this with complete control of your web content and you can setup a secret admin pin which is the only way to disable the app and exit the kiosk session you setup. The app is totally free and also has very cool hardware support for expanded capabilities check it out:

Hope this helps.

How can I get my ipad out of lost mode

It's actually my daughter's iPad. She got it for Christmas and I took it away from her a few months ago for punishment. She got it back today, but later revealed that her mom put it in lost mode (a few months ago) because she thought it was stolen.
After trying every passcode that the two of them could think of, the iPad is now disabled. I tried having my daughter log in to her icloud and erase the ipad, but that didn't work. Icloud says that the erase is pending, and nothing is happening with the iPad. When trying to access the iPad through iTunes, it doesn't allow me since the iPad is in lost mode, even though the iPad is saying to connect to iTunes.
Does anyone know what else I can do?

The erasure is "pending" because iCloud is waiting for the iPad to go online.
Go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Don't download anything until iCloud completes the erasure.

Any way to set Slideshow in protected "kiosk" mode?

Hey gang-
I have a photo slideshow that I'd like to run in iPhoto for a party this weekend. Is there any way to run iPhoto slideshows in a sort of "kiosk" mode so that every person who comes along doesn't mess with it? Or if iPhoto can't do it, is there an app that can?
Thanks!
Dave

Check out Saft: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/internet_utilities/saft.html and this page: http://lists.apple.com/archives/QuickTime-VR/2006/May/msg00054.html. I think the second link is more what want.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Ipad stuck in recovery mode and won't restore--error code 1604

I tried to backup and update my ipad this evening and when doing so it now is stuck on the itunes and USB screen. When I connect the Ipad to the Itunes it says the Ipad is in recivery mode and to restore. I click ok and it tells me i can't restore the ipad and gives me an error code of 1604. I have no idea where to go from here or what happened. Any ideas?

Error 1604: This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, uninstalling and reinstalling USB ports, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections, device not recognized properly, computer won't recognize a FireWire or USB device). If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
   1. Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode, put it into Recovery Mode.
   2. Restore and wait for error 1604.
   3. When prompted, click OK.
   4. Close and reopen iTunes while iPhone remains connected.
   5. iPhone should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
   6. Try to restore again.
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

Blu-ray project - kiosk mode issues

We're in the process of creating an interactive blu-ray video presentation with Encore CS5. The project will be shown on a PC with touch screen, on which the user will not have any access to keyboard or mouse, but can control the presentation with the created menus, via the touch screen. Encore is the perfect tool to setup the entire presentation, at least until we found out about a silly usability issue:     it's very easy for the user to exit the presentation. Obviously we don't want that, as the kiosk will be unattended most of the time.
When we output the project to Flash, Encore will always show the PlayerControlBar which has the fullscreen toggle, and thus gives the user the option to exit the full screen mode, and start messing around with the system. Adobe doesn't allow Encore authors to edit the main Flash interface player controls, which is a big bummer, else we could probably simply disable the full screen button and have a suitable alternative solution (although not as hi-def as Blu-ray).
When outputting as a blu-ray disc, extra player controls will show up on screen, depending on the player software used. So far we found out that there is no such thing as kiosk mode in Cyberlink PowerDVD 11, so users are also here able to cancel the presentation. I'm not sure about the few other blu-ray software players out there.
Does anyone have some experience with this? I guess other people must have had the kiosk mode request before.

Hello friend, generally you can put only 120 min on a bd of 25gb, the real capacity of an bd 25 gb is 23gb, you can put all the video in but u have to tweak your video bit rate when you export your video , i have to export a 129 min timeline with a variable bitrate of 20 and max bitrate of 22 and someday i get lucky somedays not, you will have to learn how to use a bit rate calculator , (google it) cause i dont know it, so i fine tune video bitrate until it shows me my final render around 19-20 gb or maybe less to be sure choose on sound a lower bitrate 320 or maybe lower and dolby digital and try to mux them (multiplexer option select TS). This is my workflow in general...
U can see that in your video info that your video haves now :
Bit rate                                 : 21,2 Mbps
Maximum bit rate                         : 22,0 Mbps
and only 19 gb
Adobe preset is hd 25 i and tries to make a video with target bitrate of 25 and max 30, so it will render more ....

Need to set to kiosk mode/(auto play)

In a simple DVDSP project, please tell me how to set a movie to just start playing when the user puts the disc into their Win/or Mac computer - and hopefully, in an average set top player as well. I looked through the manual and it refers to kiosk mode and first play, and says it can be done - but I couldn't figure it out...If anyone could walk me through it, that would be a lifesaver! I'm in DVDSP3.
It's just a single movie file, about 5 mins. that I'd like to start playing when inserted...no menu or "play movie" buttons to click on are required.
many thanks!
Any help appreciated - I find the DVDSP manual complicated, and am still a beginner.
Dual 1.25 GHz PM/G4 Mac OS X (10.3.8)

I suggest that you use Search in DVD SP's Help to find "First Play". This will tell you how to set a Track to First Play (so that it will play immediately the DVD is inserted).
My DVD SP (version 3) begins:
"To assign the First Play element in the Outline tab, do one of the following:
Control-click the disc element, then choose the First Play element from the shortcut
menu’s First Play submenu. This method ....."
In fact, on my system, a simple click on the background of the DVD SP window that appears at top left of the screen, (with its Graphical Tab active) will reveal the Disc Inspector at the right of the screen and you can set the First Play field to the Track that you want to be First Played.
(Then, if you want, you could select that Track, again in the top left window, so that its Inspector opens on the right of your screen. At the top is a field called "End Jump". Set this to the name of that track, so that it will start playing again when it reaches the end.)
What I don't know is how the user can interrupt the First Play Track so that he/she can get to the main menu so that he can access the rest of the DVD. Perhaps someone else can help here. I would like to know.

IPad 1 in Recovery mode won't install correctly to connect to iTunes

I've forgotten my passcode on my iPad 1 and want to reset it completely.
I have put it into Recovery mode successfully and tried to connect to iTunes when doing this as described, but the PC says that the device has not installed correctly and so never appears in iTunes at all.
I have now tried this action on three separate PCs with iTunes on, each with a different cable, but the result is the same every time.
The PCs I have tried are all connecting to other iDevices successfully using iTunes.
Any solutions?
