Locked iPad to Safari, want no history saved.
Hello,
I work for a Library System, I am attempting to configure an iPad for Catalog Database search only. This would be a walk up station were Library Patrons can search the online catalog for books.
With Apple Configurator I was able to white list our Catalog Web page.
The only problem is the iPad saves history, history cannot be save in order to protect the Library Patrons privacy.
Is there a way to lock Safari into Private mode, or force it to save no history?
Look at iCab's kiosk mode.

I have a message on my Ipad that states my IOS has crashed due to a 3rd party. It refers to my tablet as a phone (sorry, don't have an Iphone. It gives a number to call for support but I know it's a scam. Is there a solution to get rid of it as it has locked up my Safari.
1. Reset the iPad
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on your iPad,
simultaneously press and hold down the “Home” button” until the screen turns off.
Turn it back on.
2. Clear information from your device
iOS 7
Tap Settings > Safari > Clear History > Clear Cookies and Data. -

i do wrong password several times then lock my ipad. i know right password now but my ipad do not want password and that is lock
please help meConnect in recovery mode and restore, you'll get the option to reset the passcode during this process:
iOS: Unable to update or restore and iPhone and iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software. -
Website login fails on iPad 2 Safari after iOS6 Update
Upgraded to iOS6 9/19/2012.
I just spent half an hour troubleshooting why a site I developed for a client fails its login. Passwords are salted and hashed in Javascript, POSTed to an AJAX PHP page to compare password against stored salted password in database, then user is redirected to where they need to go. This site has always worked on the iPad, which is one of the site's most favored features.
Logging into the site no longer works. I've tested this issue on my PC with no problem using Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Opera. I've also tested on my iPad 2 using its Chrome and Mercury browsers with no problem.
The problem only occurs on iPad's Safari browser, and just started happening today. The only difference between today and yesterday is the iOS6 upgrade. Therefore, it stands to reason that iOS6 Safari is the problem.
The PHP running in the background that actually compares the user input to the DB credentials no longer matches the hash of the salt/password hash with the nonce. This command in iOS6 Safari gives completely different results than any other browser:
$rehash = hash("sha512", hash("sha512", $salt . $password) . $nonce);
I have absolutely NO idea why or how this command is affected by a browser. I'm telling you, this only not works on the iPad 2 iOS6 running Safari. I've tried clearing History, cookies and the like, and I get the same thing every time.
I'd like to downgrade back to a previous version of iOS6. It's fine to have my iPhone in iOS6, but I use my iPad for development, and I need to revert back.
Ideas? Thoughts?You may want to check this out. We were seeing login issues prior to finding this.

I have a gen one iPad and Safari keeps shutting down for no reason Just crashes. Is this common?
I had my original Ipad replaced because of this but it still occurs and is getting more frequent as time progresses.
Has anyone else had this problem and can you suggest a fix. My I pad is not old enough not to be working properly.You tagline shows iOS 6.0.1, but you said you have the first generation iPad. iOS 6 does not run on the iPad 1, so I assume that you're running 5.1.1.
You may have low memory issues with the iPad which some users have talked about with the original iPad running iOS 5. You can try some basic troubleshooting steps and see if they help. You might want to see if the iPad and Safari behave better when you keep apps in the recents tray to a minimum....close the apps if don't need quick access to them.
Anyway, give these things a shot.
Quit all apps completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Cache. Reboot the iPad.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. -
What does it mean when I click on my wifi name and it show I'm on my wifi, but the network keeps thinking and the ipad says, Safari cannot open this page because it is not connected to the internet. ?
When you click on the WiFi network name, have you also provided the password for accessing the network? You should get a dialogue box asking you for the security information the first time you connect.
If you are not able to connect, you might want to go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings.
Then go back to Settings > WiFi and select your network name again and make sure the security information is now entered correctly.
If you still cannot connect, power down the router, wait a few minutes, power up the router, with the iPad powered down the whole time, and after the router has had several minutes to stabilize power up the iPad. See if it now connects correctly. -

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.

Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

On my iPad Air Safari crashes and quits when I view a slideshow.
On my iPad Air , Safari crashes and quits when I view a slideshow on an internet site. Sometimes it doesn't crash but the slideshow is freezes. Any idea why?
Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies And Data (Clear Cache on iOS 4) and also Clear History
If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot. -

3G active on iPad but safari & email not working
3G active on iPad but safari not working. It says "safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding". Had the iPad for ages & just suddenly stopped working. It has been almost a week now, tried a few things but nothing is working.
Try A and B
(A) Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data.
(B) Close all apps in the Task Bar. Double-click the Home button and hold apps down for a second or two. Tap the minus sign to close app.
Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo. -

I have been infected by trove adware, I was able to remove it, but I couldn't get default setting of safari and keeping bookmarks, saved passwords, ..etc
There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
You may have installed the "Trovi," "Conduit," or "SearchProtect" ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it.
Back up all data before making any changes.
Besides the files listed in the linked support article, you may also need to remove these files in the same way:
~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/searchplugins/MyBrand.xml
~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/External Extensions/fjadmdmahkpbhgbmmkiiaanlnlekelmn.json
~/Library/Application Support/Mozilla/Extensions/{ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}/[email protected]
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, then you may have one of the other kinds of adware covered by the support article. Follow the rest of the instructions in the article.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. Chances are you got it from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
"SearchProtect" may be distributed along with two other applications: "MacKeeper," which is a scam, and "ZipCloud," which, if not actually a scam, has a dubious reputation. Ask if you need instructions to remove those items.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked. -
