Locking the iPad 2's screen while transporting it.

Hi,
I have an iPad 2 32GB with a smart cover attached to it. While I carry it in my backpack, the iPad has a tendency to open the iPod and start playing music. I believe that this happens because it jostles a little bit while I walk. However, I use a system lock code on my ipad, so the likeliness of it inputting the right code and turning on the iPod is rare. Are there any other buttons on the iPad that turn on the iPod program and control the music? Is there any way to lock the home screen or the iPod feature so that random movements do not turn on the iPad?
Thanks.

If the iPad app is playing music then pressing the Power button or closing the Smart Cover just turns off the display. If it is not playing music then either will put the iPad to sleep. You may be having the issue because the iPod app is still open even though the iPad is sleeping. From the Home screen press the Home button twice rapidly. The Dock will slide up and reveal all the apps that are running. Tap and hold the iPod app until they all start jiggling. Then tap the - symbol in the red circle that appears to Quit the iPod app.
Now see if it starts playing music while you are carrying the iPad in your backpack.

Does anyone know of an iPad app that can lock the iPad after a period of months (i.e., 6 months)?

Does anyone know of an iPad app that can lock the iPad after a period of months (i.e., 6 months)? I am looking to give ipads to contestant participants and need a way to automatically lock the device once the set duration (measured in days, weeks, months or years) is complete. Does anyone know of an iPad app that locks the device after a period longer than 24 hours (ike most parental control apps)??
Thanks for any help!!

It's called "SelfControl". It can be a little hard to learn to use but it's worth the effort.

How to lock the iPad 2

I just bought an iPad and had it stolen. The Mobile me was not set up. I wonder if there is a way to remotely lock the iPad permanently.

Other than by using the Find my iPhone app, with the Moibleme Account setup and location services turned on - no you can't wipe or lock the iPad remotely. Sorry.
Report it to the police and see if your insurance policy might cover theft for replacement.

You cannot lock or find the device until it comes online. You can schedule a lock sequence to be sent once the device is online. That's it. Furthermore, if whoever finds the device completely erases it, then even when it comes online you will not be able to track it.

My macbook air is stuck at the "installing software updated" screen while installing update for the osX. What should I do?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If your Mac has been installing software updates for a long time, Software Update is probably frozen. Hold the Power button until your MacBook Air turns off, and turn it on again. OS X should start up.

I'm trying to use the slide to unlock bar but the iPad 3 touch screen is non responsive. How can I fix this!

I tried that step but it would not work. I think I may have changed a setting.
I was able to highlight a function but had to tap 3 times to get it to respond
to the command. I think it's some type of Restriction or Accessibility settings.
Any suggestions?

Parental App to lock the ipad

My daughter is obsessed with the ipad and is using it all of the time. Is their a parental app that I can get to lock the ipad during certain times of the day so they can use it?

Hello jlliriano,
Restrictions can be established on the iPad that will work to the same results as parental controls.

How will the ipad batery and screen like this ???

hi!
i plan on using my ipad in the dental surgery i am working in to stand most of the time on a dock.
while standing on a dock i want it to run movies or slideshows with special offers, before after pictures etc and then i want to take it off the dock several times a day to show the patient his or her pictures i took before to explain findings.
how would the screen like to run 8 hours a day? would it be bad?
how would the batteries react to the ipad running 8 hours a day, most of the time on a dock with power supply but several times a day 5-10 min battery powered. would the battery have a new loading cyce every time i put the ipad back on the dock? would this use reduce the battery life of it?

Most battery suppliers of Nickle-Metal Hydride batteries say leaving them on a charger all the time shortens battery life...but you really have to ask what does that mean with respect to the planned life of the display you are planning. Your own plans for changing to another display approach may make that concern moot.
Apple provides this information on the iPad batteries:
http://www.apple.com/batteries/ipad.html
An important part of that is the recommendation of monthly complete charge cycles: drain the battery all the way, the unit shutsdown automatically at a charge level of 1%, or so. Then recharges on wall power to full charge. You could probably do that with a single days' usage as you have described.
Since the unit would be constantly changing images, you would not have to worry about anything like display damage from burning pixels like you do with computer monitors.
Why not get one and try it out and see what the patient reaction is? Sounds like a clever use to me.

How do you lock the ipad so only one app can be used

I want to force a student to communicate using an ipad communication app. I want the only thing on the screen to be that one app. How do I lock the app so it is the only one that can be used on the ipad? Is there a way to lock a page? ie when he has navigated to the correct page to prevent the child from exiting and make him make a choice from that page?
Thanks!

You can lock an iPad to a given app via Guided Access:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5509
To try and lock a web browser to a single page you'll need to investigate third-party browsers such as MobiCIP or the McGruff browser and see if they allow you to lock to a single page. Safari in iOS 6 or earlier has no controls and in iOS 7 allows you to restrict to a given site or set of sites but not to a single web page.
Regards.

Is there a way to lock the phone's touch screen during a phone call?

I just purhased my iPhone and I noticed that during a phone call I may accidentally tap Mute or Speakerphone with my cheak, depending on which hand I hold the phone in. Also when I hand the phone over to someone they may accidentally tap a button, and in the worst scenerios they will accidentally end the call.
Is there a way to lock the screen or something to prevent any of the above from occuring?

Their currently isent a way to disable the buttons but what you can do is click the home button during a call after pressing loud speaker and that will separate you from the call options and take you to the home screen and on the top it will have say call active and you can click that to renter the call note the call will still be active but when you hold it next to your face the screen should temporally go dark. Steve jobs was the one who came up with when the top sensor is active the screen will go dark and disable on screen button pressing when it is press against your face

Multi-Screen Scene-Locking the Position of Each Screen

I have a multi screen scene (3 video tracks on same screen). Is there a way I can lock the attributes of the 3 screens, specifically position and scale of each video track, so that no matter what scale or position a clip is, it will automatically comform to the locked attributes of the video track? Right now I have to copy the attributes and paste them to each video clip I drag in.

You could nest them and animate the nest. Select all the clips, right-click and select "Nest." This will create a new sequence, put the selected clips into it, and replace the clips in the original sequence with the nested sequence. You can animate it as you wish, then.
