Limiting childs ipad usage

My son sneaks his ipad at night and watches tv or looks at you tube videos for hours when he is supposed to be sleeping. Is there a way to limit the wifi capabilities to prevent this from happening? Turning off the wifi and going to airport mode doesn't work he's on to those tricks. I'm hoping there is an app or something that might allow wifi for a predetermined amount of time each day. Any suggestions?

As the others said, the best answer is to take it away. Other options...
There are no "nanny" apps that I'm aware of, but I could be wrong.
If you connect his iCloud account to your AppleID, you can go to the iCloud site and lock the device.
You should be able to log into your wireless router and lock out that device (exactly how you do this will depend on the details of your router).

If you also want seperate Contacts and some other things:
Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old

Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
Settings>FaceTime
Settings>GameCenter
and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.
Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.

Any way to monitor my childs iPad experience

any way to monitor my childs iPad experience. She plays games instead of using iPad for school work. Is there a internal way to proceed

Several options come to mind.
Have your child use the iPad only with adult supervision if they cannot be trusted to use in the way you wish.
Delete the games from the iPad and set restrictions so that apps cannot be downloaded.
Use Guided Access to restrict them to the one app you want them to be able to use.

Hyperlinks limitations in iPad Adobe Reader

We have made an interactive PDF in InDesign CC with 89 slides, some forms, 5 hyperlinks to web and 147 hyperlinks to jump to other slides. Generated PDF in Adobe Reader on PC works OK. On iPad looks like iPad Adobe Reader 11.2.4 accepts only round 100 hyperlinks and other are ignored. All programs are the latest version. Are there on iPad Adobe Reader limitations for hyperlinks?

Many forms of interactivity are not supported by Adobe Reader for iPad or iPhone (or for Android devices as well).
Read my posting from a couple years ago on this topic:
For Interactive PDF, Not All Readers Are Equal | InDesignSecrets
If you want full PDF interactivity, you need to pay for a good PDF reader like PDF Expert from Readdle ($US 9.99).

IPad Usage not correctly showing!

I have 3rd Generation ipad 32GB Wifi + Cellular running on iOS 7. When I see usage [Settings>General>Usage] its only 6 GB Available and 21 GB is used.
When I manually total the size of applications its only 6.5 gb, then where is my extra space going. I have tried rebooting.

go back to settings and look at usage again - then wait a minute or so. a listing of apps will appear, and if you tap one, you will see the total program, p,us data associated with that app. you may have a lot of data associated with some of your apps. for example, i have pages. the app shows as 373meg. when I tap the app - it shows me total program and data is 1.4G. Add those up, and you will approach the larger number you see above.
pictures, audio, video, and comic books eat up space.

Ipad usage, other

When I link my ipad to my computer and view my usage, it says 'other' is taking up 3.83gb. What does that mean?

How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

IPad usage unknown

I have a 16GB iPad 2, and under usage it says over 11GB is used. But when I totaled the space that all the apps, photos, and videos took, it was only about 4GB. No music or movies are being stored. How do I clear this extra spa

Hi your Software will use about 4g then when it's running that uses More G the problem you have is 16 G is not a lot to Run IPAD with iOS 8.1 Cheers Brian

Any way that I can restrict my ipad usage

I am constantly on my ipad 24/7 and it's getting very distracting especially when I want to go to bed. It will keep me up for hours since I am unable to put it down. Is there an app or a feature that can restrict my app usage between certain hours or anything like that?

Go to the clock app and set the alarm for your bed time. Use the sci-fi sound, you'll be glad to turn it off. Even if there were an app to to restrict usage you'd delete it the first time you wanted to stay up longer.

Discrepency between ipad photo moments and ipad usage stats

Following a extended holiday overseas i downloaded a large number od photos via sd card reader, most of these have now been deleted and photo moments currently shows 320 photos however settings >usage> photos shows 4.5gb. If i connect itunes the usage meter also shows photos 4.5gb and 777 photos. ois 8.1 any assistance suggestion much appreciated ( have tried reset and restore )

You can't use Bluetooth to share the photos unless you use AirDrop and your Mac has to meet certain requirements in order to do that. You can read about that here.

I'm not sure why you just wouldn't sync the photos using iTunes. That's how I move my iPhoto albums and events from my MBP to my iOS devices. The newest iTunes interface is not the same as this one, but the process still works the same way.

O2 iPad Usage - Exceeding Limit ?

Hi all,
Another question. If I sign up for say the 24 hour access from O2, what happens if I exceed the data usage limits ? Do I get charged automatically for going over or does it cut-off and let you know you've run out ?
Thanks !

If you expect an accurate answer I recommend that you ask that question to O2 directly.

Limit iPad usage to use it in a showcase

Hi,
I would like to know if is it possible to limit the usage of my ipad to an app/website. I would like to use it in a stand to show my website, but people shouldn't be capable of leaving the app, or safari.
is it possible? thanks

There is no way to limit use to a particular app, short of getting a custom app developed. It can be done via programming, I believe. I have seen several, on a stand, locked to a specific site by merely having the tand or case built so that the home button cannot be touched. With only the screen accessible, they can only do things based on your touch screen options.

Special-needs-and-abilities users. Advice on iPad usage and applications.

We would like to purchase an iPad 1 or 2 for a special needs/abilities person (adult). Any word of advice on how to start the teaching process, what apps, how to use the AppleTV, what cases, chargers, Wi-Fi or 3G?

I have just installed the iOS 5.
To start:
1.) is there a wireless charger for iPad2? If not what is the docking charger that would be easy to use for for a person with special abilities?
2.) I like the AppleTV box to mirror the iPad screen on large TV.
3.) I'm still looking at many educational apps for 3-5 y.o. children - some of them should be good for a person who never had a computer before.
4.) stiil trying to find if Skype would be the best communication app - emails seem to be too much. (plus Skype will allow the sign language usage)
5.) I am getting the protective board from GriffinTechnology.
6.) ...

Altitude limitations of iPad

Apple support is no help concerning using the iPad above 10,000', except to say it's a display issue (the glass will break, voids warranty.) I figure if it's OK at 95 deg. F. @ 10,000 it might be OK much higher if you keep it sufficiently cool to keep the internal pressure of the display in check. I need it to display aeronautical charts as high as 17,500 in an un-pressurized aircraft while using oxygen and can keep it below 65 deg. Can anyone help me refine the specs to allow for the obvious interaction of temp. and pressure? Does anyone have experience with it even above 11,500? The iPad is a great way to go paperless in the aircraft, but for me this is a fatal limitation.
