Is it possible to allow to run one app only?

Hi, I'm going to use iPad as a touchscreen for Avit automation system ( http://www.comm-tec.de/englisch/CommandFusion.html?sid=TT6cVtRXhCUAACjoJ6s ). I will have iPad in the cradle, and I would need to run only the iViewer app, disable all other apps, and to run it automatically after the device is turned on. Is this possible? Thanks

Sorry, but no, it would not be possible to develop an app that could prevent someone from being able to just press the Home button to quit your app and/or to block other apps from running. The developer kit doesn't allow that level of access to the OS.
Perhaps an Android-based tablet would allow this sort of functionality. I have no experience with the Android developer kit, but from what I've read it's a lot more open to low-level access and modifications (which consequently is making the Android devices more prone to malware). I doubt it would be something that would be easy to do, but it might be possible.
Regards.

  • If using 2 hard drives to for time machine backup is it possible to exclude files from one backup only??

    Hi,
    At work we have a network system that allows backup of everyones mac via time machine is there a way I can exclude certain files and directories from this backup without removing them from the private time machine backup that I have?
    Many thanks,
    Nick

    Time Machine is one app on your Mac, thus it will exclude the files on all back-ups.

  • Banner Display Time for One App Only

    I recently found an article (http://osxdaily.com/2014/01/29/change-notifications-banner-time-mac-os-x/#commen t-607754) showing a Terminal command to change the default display time for banner-style notification. It's a great thing, but then I thought...could there be any way to apply it to one app at a time? Say I want 10 seconds for Mail.app, 3 seconds for Messages and so forth.
    Can it be done? Thanks.

    It's called Trip Journal. The problem is, I think, that my iCloud backup wasn't current, because I'm travelling overseas, so data transfer has been largely up, and I don't think it has been backing up even when I was connected to wifi at my hotel.
    I did back up my iPhone to the computer this morning -- but that was after the crash occurred, so I don't know if any data will be salvagable.
    @Norman - I tried that, multiple times, but it hasn't worked.

  • How do I make an iPad or iPod touch only allow access to one App? I need to create a one application device for a child.

    I need to lock the iPad or Itouch down so only one application is running or available to start.  One, for ease of use by a 3 year old and two, in order to make the use of the iPad as an AAC device allowable in a classroom setting. There is concern that the other games, etc will be a distraction.
    Thank-you!

    You can enable Restrictions, also known as Parental Controls, on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to prevent access to specific features. This article provides an overview of the types of Restrictions that are available, as well as how to enable or disable Restrictions on your device.

  • My late 2011 MacBook Pro 4 gig RAM is running very slowly, crashing very often. Repaired permissions, repaired disc, updated to Mavericks, uninstalled Blackberry Desktop.  Can only run one app at a time, barely.

    Activity monitor shows RAM usage at between 3 and 3.95 most of the time, even with no apps running.  Hard drive has plenty of free space.  Chrome crashes it the most, but any time I run more than two apps at a time, it crashes.  It cannot ever complete a Time Machine backup.  That leaves it dead in the water after a few minutes.  When I say crash, I mean totally unresponsive, even when left alone for hours.  Only a hard reset works.  Then, it is hit or miss when it comes to rebooting.  Often, it crashes at the startup login screen, and often it doesn't even make it that far.  Sometimes, the computer spontaneously restarts itself.  I've looked at the forums, and tried everything that I've seen suggested. I've left it alone overnight, hoping that it was just indexing, but no dice. I even used the sudo purge command once.  That cleared up some RAM for a moment, but didn't affect the performance issues.  I am aware that the RAM usage may have nothing to do with it, but that's the only clue I have.  It is a miracle that I'm even able to finish typing this message, since right now I have Safari and Mail open at the same time!  I've turned off Drop Box.  Every application loads painfully slowly, and then any activity, including typing, is often interrupted by the spinning pinwheel of death.  Sometimes, the problem resolves for a few minutes, and then returns with a vengance.  Help!

  • Is there a way to use two macs to run one app? I want to use my two macbook pros processors in a shared capacity.

    I have two macbook pros a 2.4ghz and a 2.2ghz. Is there a way to use the other macbook pro to help with any cpu intensive apps like audio and video apps. I haven't had much luck on finding anything about sharing resources. It would be awesome if you could link up two macs and use both of them to power through processor intensive tasks.

    Yep here you go.

  • Launchd to run Applescript app. only when an iWorks program is running

    How can I make launchd load an applescript application (that autosaves documents) only when an iWorks program (Pages, Numbers) is running?
    I am using Launchd Editor or Lingon to right the plist file.

    There isn't a launchd trigger I'm aware of that will do this.
    The best you can do with launchd is a StartInterval which launches your application every n seconds and have the script perform the check to see if one of the target applications is running.

  • Using one app only when roaming

    Hi,
    Is there anyway I can tell my iPhone that it can use Data Roaming with Maps, but nothing else? Are there settings I can do that will organize that? I was in the States and wanted to get directions, but I'm so scared of huge charges, i didn't want to turn anything on.
    TIA,
    Michael

    Is there anyway I can tell my iPhone that it can use Data Roaming with Maps, but nothing else?
    No. Download a GPS app that pre-installs the maps on your phone, that way there is no need for a cellular data connection, and you can turn cellular data off in settings.

  • Selective dataroaming for only one app

    Is it possible to only allow dataroaming for one app? While the rest of your apps on the iPad can't use dataroaming?

    No, sorry, that is not possible.

  • More than one app isntance in one browser?

    Hallo,
    Is it possible to open more than one app isntances in one browser (for example in two tabs, one app, two different instances of this app)?
    Thank you!!

    Hi go0ze,
    on a local network, you could define multiple aliases on the DNS server. For internet facing apps, maybe you have luck with OHS/Apache rewrite or proxy rules that modify the path (e.g. /apex1/, /apex2/, ... requests get re-written to /apex/) or by providing more DADs.

  • How can I run youtube App in the background on my ipad ISO 7 ?

    I want to run youtube app not using safari in the background on my ipad using iso7 please help !!

    iOS doesn't truly multi-task, so you can't run one app in one window and another in a separate window. There are probably some good reasons for this, including battery life, but you'd have to ask Apple:

  • Running multiple VI's on same NIDAQ CARD, It only seems to allow me to run one instance on Analog Input per card.

    I need to run 20 copies of a top level VI simultaneously. The first VI runs fine, however, when I start the second one, it runs without errors it just doesn't take any Analog Voltage readings. The first one continues to run smoothly. LabVIEW 8.2, Windows XP, Daq card in question is NI-PXI 6225.
    It seems to me that if that card is basically "locked" by running one analog measurement, the functionality is SEVERELY limited. like 1/80th usable unless I pile all of my code into a single VI.
    Please advise. Is there a way for multiple VI's to "share" this card?
    One should welcome adversity as an opportunity to excel.

    You don't have to 'pile' all of your code into one VI but you can't have multiple analog in tasks running at the same time. You have a single A/D converter and a single scan clock. Because of this, the DAQmx driver prevents you from starting more than one task. You could have a single VI that does nothing but scan all of the channels and publishes the results to either a shared variable or uses DataSocket. Or, a single VI could respond to requests from other VIs to add channels on a dynamic basis. In order to do this however, the running task has to be first stopped. You would also have to deal with any possible conflicts with different scan rates.
