Is it possible to disable turning off iphone/ipad with the button?

Is there a way to disable a theft from turning a stolen iphone or ipad off. Maybe make it require a password to turn off, is this possible? I love the way the devices are trackable if they are stolen but a theft can just push the off button, or erase everything by holding the home and off button.

I can imagine with the many posts here asking about what to do when their Passcode Lock or Restrictions Passcode is forgotten when someone is unable to power their iPhone off if there were a passcode requirement option to do so.
On an airplane and instructed to power the iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch off before takeoff and landing and the password to do so is forgotten, or the battery is about to die with no power source available to charge and the password to power the iPhone is forgotten.

Private browsing will not turn off when I press the button or use the hotkey.

When I try to turn off private browsing, using the button and the hotkey, it will not turn off. What is wrong?

Make sure that you not run Firefox in automatic [[Private Browsing]] mode.
You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
To see all History settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting '''Firefox will: Use custom settings for history'''

I turned off my iPad during the process of restoring it, will this mess up the iPad or my apps?

If you turned it off in the process of doing a full restore, yes. If you turned it off in the process of restoring it from an iCloud backup, it depends. You may be able to turn it on and resume the restore; otherwise you'll have to restore from the backup again.

Is it possible to use multiple macs/iphones/ipads with single apple tv for an exhibition?

Hellow everyone,
Wondering if some genius out there can help me come up with a solution, or whether this is just too pie in the sky!!
So, I'm exhibiting at a huge conference at the end of the month and want the following set up:
MacBook Pro Retina showing a video loop through AirPlay Mirroring
MacBook Pro showing exmaples of my work in safari photoshop etc through AirPlay Mirroring
iPhone (4s with iOS7) to show examples of my work in safari through AirPlay Mirroring
iPad (iPad 2 with iOS7) to show examples of my work in safair through AirPlay Mirroring
So, basically I want the video loop to play constantly and act as a screensaver almost, then when the sitution dictates I can quickly switch what is being shown on the AppleTV to whichever device I am at.
As an example, the video loop is happily playing. Someone comes up to me and wants to talk about responsive web design. I whip out my iPad and load up an example site in safari. if I turn on my AirPlay Mirroring, great the AppleTV will update and show what is on my iPad. Great, but what about when I've finished with this person. I turn AirPlay Mirroring off on my iPad and the ApplTV goes back to the main menu because it has kicked out my MacBook Pro. Imagine this scenairo happening time and itme again.
The question is, is there anyway of making some kind of heirachy where my MacBook Pro with the video is the default source, then the Apple switches depending on what is selected, then reverts back to the MacBook Pro??
Or, is there a neat little app that I can run from another iphone (almost using is as a remote) to select which source the Apple TV shows and all the devices are constantly running AirDisplay?
Possibly asking a bit too much here, but it would be amazing if I could get some form of solution that allows me to use minimum wires and no fidly changing channels on the tv with a remote!!
Many thanks in advance!
David

take have to take turns
and you have to disable one and enable the other manually

Why won't my Apple Wireless keyboard connect or turn off even after holding the button down?

I have installed windows 8 release preview on my mac mini through boot camp. When pressing alt to choose to boot into mac, I pressed alt too soon and so windows started to load. When it loaded I realised my keyboard was no longer working. The light just flashed. I tried holding the power button to turn it off and normally this would work fine but this time it wouldn't turn off. I took out the batteries and replaced them and it still won't turn off. And even now, it won't connect to my mac mini or my iPad either. I've read on a forum that it might reset if I take the batteries out for 30 mins so I'll try again tomorrow and then report back, but I'm quite annoyed about this!

It turns out it was faulty batteries!! Just bought an Apple battery charger so will use that from now on!

How to make a new iCoud account and take the old one off my iPad with the information getting deleted from my iPhone?

I have one iCloud account and that is on my iPhone. But when I got a iPad I ended up with the same iCloud account that was in my iPhone. I don't like that because if someone sends me a message it goes to my phone and the iPad. How do I make a new iCoud?

Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit the delete account button. Any information on that account will be deleted from that device, but it will not be deleted from the cloud or any of the device logged into that account.

Reset the device by pressing and holding the home and power buttons for 15-20 seconds until the white Apple logo appears.

My iPhone recently has lost the ability to be turned off or on with the sleep/wake button I purchased it from Verizon not apple what should I do?

I am really upset with this I expected a lot more out of apple. What should I do

Make an appointment at the genius bar of your local Apple Store. Apple provides warranty (and out of warranty) service for the phone. Not Verizon.

How do you turn off auto renewal if the button doesn't respond with on/off switch?

I am trying to cancel a subscription at the end of the contract period, but the auto renewal button on app store account management button doesn't respond when tapped to allow the auto renewal to be cancelled.

Hi Jerry,
The windows i am using is Windows 7 Professional. The auto-correct page you sent me was not the problem i was talking about. I have taken some print screen shots of the actual problem i was talking about and i have numnbered from 1-4 so you can see exactly what is happening.

WAITING FOR YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS...

According to Apple support, you cannot remove the phone on the device list under "find my iphone" until you turn it off and it goes offline. (It also says the device will go back on "find my iphone" when it goes online again, which seems to mean you can successfully remove it, but as soon as you turn it back on it will be back on the list, and thus you will not be able to restore it.) It's a bit of a conundrum. In my case I couldn't for some reason turn off my phone with the home/sleep buttons - nothing happens, the phone stays on. While on a chat with Apple support, they got my iphone offline (I was able to turn it off by pressing the sleep button and swiping where the red "turn off iphone" arrow would have appeared) and removed it from "find my phone", but when I reconnected to itunes it turned on and reappeared in the "find my phone" list. Luckily, the screen suddenly appeared (it had done this several times yesterday, just briefly), so I was able to turn off "find my device" from the phone. I was then able to restore. Unfortunately, this does not answer the question of how to remove the device from "find my iphone" and keep it off while connecting with itunes to restore (unless you have my good fortune of having the screen suddently reappear). Apple support seemed puzzled that it had reappeared on the device list under "find my iphone". Time will tell whether the restoration fixes the blank screen issue.

I was playing Angry Birds and had to hit the pause button to listen to something. When I hit the pause/play button again to resume, I heard talking that sounded like a talk-radio program and I couldn't turn it off, even when I turned off my iPad.

Does anyone know what would cause me to start hearing a talk program of some type after hitting the play button after it had been on pause. Hitting the pause button shuts off the talking, but hitting the play button starts it up again. The strange thing is that the talking continues even after I turn off my iPad. The talk program was about silly or trendy news items, not regular news. It sounds like it could be a talk-radio program, but there were no call letters or information on where it was coming from or who was talking. The person doing all the talking is a male and sounds like he could be in his 20's. The only way I could turn it off was to hit the pause button and then turn off my iPad. I just got my iPad last week and had not had any problems with it until this happened. At the time this happened I was playing a version of Angry Birds that kept being interrupted by t-mobile commercials from time to time, which I had never experienced before. either.

Well, shut my mouth! There was a similar question over to the right about a 6th generation nano repeating over and over again -- I read the answer to that one, followed the instructions, and holy crap, it's back to normal.
Is there a name for this when you end up replying to your own aggravating question? That's what I did. Now I can go out and listen. It's only 91 degrees. Heaven. Thanks, Apple.

How do I turn off location services on the iPhone 6?

How do I turn off location services on the iPhone 6?
Yes I already went to Settings > Privacy > Location Services, is not allowing me to turn it off.
And yes I have disable the restrictions too.

When I tapped the screen, there was a symbol on the left that looked like arrows going in a circle and on the right were the arrows crossed. The crossed arrows were orange, when I tapped this orange symbol, it turned to white and the songs STOPPED shuffle.

Disabling turn off option in locked screen

My iPhone was stolen a while back and turned off immediately when it was taken. I assume the SIM card was later taken out to eliminate the ability to locate the phone. Does anyone know if theres a way to disable the ability to turn off your phone from the locked screen?

There is not.

Turn off iPhone while locked...

Does someone explain me the reason I can turn of my iPhone while locked?
If my iPhone had been stolen, the thief can simply turn off the device and I never will find it anymore. Nobody can say that I can open Find My iPhone, because if the mobile is turned off, the Find My iPhone will just give me the position of the last time my mobile sync data with iCloud.
Herewith, wheter someone tell me if it's possible do not turn off the device before the password?
Thanks...

Hard Reset: HOld the home button and the sleep/wake button of your iPhone for about 10 to 15 seconds at the same time. Holding down both buttons at the same time till you see the apple appear

My iPhone 4 just turned off, I could see the logo, of and on but doesn't want to turn on

My iPhone 4 just turned off, I could see the logo on and off and could hear a sound...what should I do?

To your 1st post: How can I restore the phone to I tunes?
Plug it into iTunes. If you have already done so before, it should have a latest backup. If possible, it will do a backup of your iPhone automatically. You will see the syncing circle. Once that stops, You can perform a restore.
(Make sure you have a recent backup by going to Edit - Preferences - Devices tab and look for the timestamp of backup)
Perform the restore by selecting your device in iTunes, and selecting restore and restore from backup.
To your 2nd post: Can I just leave it plugged in or remove it?
Depending on where you're plugged into. If you're plugged into iTunes and restoring your phone. It will be about a 30min-2hr process depending on how much stuff you have.
If you're plugged into a power source you should wait till it's fully charged before removing it.

Is it possible to disable turning off iphone/ipad with the button?
