Is there a Way to lock apps or disable the home button?

I often allow my 16 month old to play toddler games on my iPhone. He knows how to slide his finger to unlock the phone and he loves pressing and holding the home button to activate Siri so he can talk to her! LOL! I am worried that he will accidently delete or move an app to another screen by accident so is there a way to prevent that from happening. Also while he plays his games, he likes to press the home button which closes him out of his game. Is there a way to disable the home button so he can just stay within his toddler games?

You can use Guide Access to restrict your child to using a single app. See:

    Close inactive apps in the background. No need to reset.
    Double-click the Home button and hold apps down for a second or two. Tap the minus sign to close app.

    Crop wasn't such a bad idea.
    Drop to be revealed clip in V1.
    Drop clip for the curtain effect in V2 and add crop.
    Set first keyframe at say 1 second for LEFT 50%, second keyframe at say 2 seconds to 100%
    Add the clip for the curtain effect again but on V3 (superimposded).
    Add crop.
    Now animate RIGHT: 1 second 50% at 2 seconds 100%.
    Done

  • My iPhone 5 every time I close out of an app by pressing the home button a white blob shows up close to the volume buttons, is that normal?

    Hi Sabrinann21,
    I'm not sure what you mean by the "white blob."  Does it look something like this?  
    If so, that white circle that you see on the right side of the screen is Assistive Touch and can be turned off in the Accessibility settings on the iPhone.

  • Why is there a horizontal line a quarter inch above the Home button on the iPad main screen all of a sudden?

    Why is there a horizontal line a quarter inch above the Home button on the iPad main screen all of a sudden? Does that mean the screen itself is problematic?

    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    If that doesn't help I suspect there is a hardware problem with the iPad. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

  • Is there a way of locking app folders in iphone?

    I have found a lot of app fro locking pictures and files, contacts, etc, Is there a way of locking down a folder that contains apps? Say i don't want someone opening my facebook app or other apps I have. Any help is appreciated.

    Unless the app has some sort of passcode written into it, no, you can't lock it. You can't lock folders.
    If you don't want someone using your Facebook app, you can log out of it.

  • Is there a way to fix an iPod touch 4G home button that isn't stuck but just doesn't work?

    A couple weeks ago my home button got stuck. To fix it I found this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBfhCmq9VkA&list=WL429346A18D0B1E65 to help me out. The second option of using the charger ended up working, thus making the button work again. It was working fine after doing that but then it got stuck down again and I had to put the charger in and do that again. However, all of a sudden the home button just doesn't work anymore. It's not even stuck all the way down. I can press it repeatedly but still nothing.
    I've had the iPod for about 6 months now and got it off of amazon refurbished so warranty is out of the question i'm sure. If it really is broken with no way to fix it then that's fine as i've been using assitive touch for weeks now and am used to it since i've been using it egulary since there's no other way. I just wanted to ask and make sure first before anything else though.

  • My iPod is locked for years and the home button is pushed in and doesn't work how do I reset it?

    So my sister locked my iPod for 44 years and the home button is broken and pushed in and doesn't work how am i supposed to reset it now?

    If you can't remember your passcode, you'll have to restore it to remove the passcode, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212.
    If you're running iOS 7 with Fid My iPod enabled, in order to restore it you'll have to force it into recovery mode as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808, or erased it using Find My iPhone on icloud.com if your home button isn't working (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmfc0ef36f).

  • Is there a way to ADD more ICONS to the HOME SCREEN???? either by phone or 3rd party software?????

    i'm new to the blackberry so please bear with me:   i'm trying to find out if there is a way or some software out there in which i could have more than (6) icons showing on my HOME SCREEN.....thanks

    Just picked up a Tour over the weekend. I had a curve previously which had 18 icons on the home screen.
    I searched the web and found a theme for purchase for 5 bucks that restored the ability to have 18 icons on the home screen again.  here is the link  http://software.crackberry.com/product.asp?id=37482&n=18-Icon

  • K1 any way to disable the Home Button?

    I hate this button!  I am always hitting it by mistake.  I can never remember if swiping up is for menu or swiping down is for back or what... I never use it... is there any way to disable it?  The only slightly useful thing about it is the screen capture... but again, not used much... HELP!

    Same here, the only reason I like the button for is for taking a screen shot.
    Maybe something could be added to the settings to disable this button?

  • Is there a way to install "apps" without using the store? (No Internet, intentionally)

    We have an industrial control system that is
    purposely cut off from the Internet for security purposes.  We want to install the RDP app on tablets.  Is there  way to do this without an Internet connection?  Has MS even considered such a scenario?

    Hi,
    We need the internet connection to install Store app, this is designed by default.
    Since we need internet to logon with the Microsoft account and can't download the offline installer as desktop app from Windows Store.

  • Is there a way to open new tabs in the home page or some other link?

    When I open a new tab using the "+" symbol I get a blank page. I would like new tabs to open in my home page, or, if possible, a different page, like my favorite web browser, which is what I usually want when I open a new tab.
    Can this be done? I can't find the right preference for it, assuming that's the right place for such an option.

    Nothing beats about:blank in my opinion for clarity and for tab history.
    Here is an extension that does what you asked for, it is VERY large for what you get out it (which to me, what I would get out of it is confusion).

  • Is there a way to speed up or disable the Spaces transition animation in Mountain Lion?

    The Spaces transition animation seems to have gotten slower since upgrading from Lion to Mountain Lion. You could disable it with a terminal command up through Lion, but that doesn't work anymore in Mountain Lion. I'm using Ctrl+Arrows to switch between Spaces.

    I''m finally seeing what people are saying
    I've heard quickly gesturing for a space is a solution. Mission control is also fast with switching.
    Although I haven't really timed myself doing that.
    You can send feedback to apple saying you would like it to be faster http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html (make sure you state you're on Mountain Lion)
