My iPad is stuck in guided access and triple clicking the home button is not working.... Suggestions?

My iPad is stuck in the guided access accessibility feature and the triple click home to exit is not working. I can not do anything on my iPad! Any suggestions?

Try resetting the iPad - press and hold the Poewr and Home buttons until the screen goes blank, then release them. The iPad should reboot. Go straight into the Settings app and turn off Guided Access.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    When it says place the iPodin recovery mode use this prgram.

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My iPod Touch 4th Generation is crashing a lot. And the home button is not working.

    Recently my iPod would crash when I go on Youtube or any other app or it would be super slow. My current IOS is 6.1.3. The iPod starts working again when I turn it off and on but only for a couple of minutes. Also the home button does not work when I press it.

    To reset the iPod without the hardware buttons,
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected. You will have to rejoin wifi networks and repair BT devices
    Next
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             

  • HT5509 In an app that was frozen, I triple-clicked the home button and activated "guided access". I never set a passcode but can't exit GA without one. Is there a default passcode when one is not set by user? ipad2 ios 6.something

    We have an iPad 2 running ios 6.something - I can't check that right now because we can't seem to exit "guided access".  I was playing Clumsy Ninja when it froze.  I didn't know about forcing closed or removing an app from the recent bar yet at the time, so I was looking through settings for some kind of intuitively obvious admin tool for shutting down a jammed app - to no avail.  Then I reopened the game and tried different things: holding the home button down, pressing the home button multiple times.  When I did that, "guided access" launched.  It informed me that it had deactivated the buttons, and asked me if I wanted to shut down parts of screen. No solution in that, so I attempted to exit GA at which point ipad requested a passcode - I never set a general passcode or a GA passcode, so I have no idea what to put in.  I have tried rebooting by means of Home and Power buttons - it reopens Clumsy Ninja with GA active. 
    Is there a default "Guided Access" passcode that would be in place since I haven't set one?

    Nope .  I was the only one using it and I did not set a passcode .  That would have been a red flag for me .  We don't have it configured to require a passcode for logon and I would not have created one intentionally . 
    Thanks for responding Diavonex . 

  • I got my phone repaired by apple a few weeks ago and got a new glass display put in and the entire screen is falling out of the housing and the home button is not working I'm more than disappointed with this service

    I paid for this service to fix my glass on my phone and now the entire LCD display is not working and after my repair the home button stopped working and I went back and they told me it was like that before the repair which it wasn't and they are telling me I need to pay 300 plus for a replacement phone that's refurbished now I don't understand apples support is suppose to be the best in the business and I have been more then ripped of the service I got damaged my phone more than it was before I would like to know where I can go to talk to someone who will help me not tell me it's my fault this is outrageous!!!

    Take the issue up with whomever replaced the device, whether that is Apple or another company.
    There is nothing that we, your fellow users, in these user to user support forums can do for you.

  • What do I do with my iPod Touch 4g when the home button does not work and when I plug it in to charge it always says that charging is not avaible with this accesory?

    iPod Touch 4g home button won't work plus will not charge properly

    Take it to a reputable third-party repair shop. Apple will not touch it after you have opened it up and tinkered with the works.

  • When I plug in my ipod, I get a message that access is blocked by my password on the ipod.  However I can't get to my ipod to change it.  Any suggestions?  The "home" button does not work

    I've been told that I need to sync my new computer with my apple ipod.  HELP!!

    If you do not know the passcode to your iPod Touch, you'll need to connect the iPod to the iTunes library you normally sync it with and restore it in recovery mode. However, since your home button doesn't work, you'll need to use a program such as this one to try and get it into recovery mode.

  • IPhone 4 Does not charge or get recognized by laptop and the home button does not work at all.

    The home button on my iPhone 4 does not work at all. Also, when i plug it in to charge, it does not charge at all, and it doesn't even say that it is connected. What will Apple do about this if i send it off? Will I get a replacement? All answers much appreciated.

    Buenas Matias,
    Si, pude solucionarlo hace unos dias, al final me arriesgue y compre el "dock connector", un juego de destornilladores para iPhone 4, lo desarme y lo cambie, y al toque empezo a cargar.
    No queria esperar semanas para el repuesto de iFixit asi que lo compre en MercadoLibre, estan 160 mangos, y si no te queres arriesgar a desarmarlo y cambiarlo vos, hay algunos que te hacen la instalacion tambien.
    Pero primero averigua bien que tengas el mismo problema que yo, o sea el dock connector sirve para lo q describi arriba. Si tenes otro sintoma te recomiendo que investigues porque capaz es otra cosa y terminas gastando un repuesto al pedo.
    Espero que te sirva.
    Saludos
    Gonzalo.

  • My iphone fell down and now the home button is not working well and the phone is making calls itself?

    i already updated my phone and download he latest version of itunes. The Siri is turned off and the voice control appers alone and start makiing calls itself. please help me!!

    It's pretty clear your Home button is becoming easily stuck in the active position, causing Siri to activate and, based on what it hears, make calls.
    You need to hand the phone in and get it fixed.  Shouldn't cost you too much.  Try to find an Apple Authorised Repair Centre in the first instance.  Follow this link and choose your country to see if there's one nearby.

  • HT201436 voice mail management is really bad with the newer version of software for my iPhone5  my old version deleted VMs instantly but now my phone freezes up and at times the delete button does not work until i set the phone aside for up to a minute.

    I am having a hard time deleting unwanted voice messages with my new phone and software as compare to my iphone4 which was as easy as clicking on the delete button.  VMs would delete instantly.  with my iPhone 5 7.0.4 software ver the first one or two delete immediately then the phone freezes up for several seconds making the process frustrating.  I am wondering if either I am doing something wrong or if there is a fix out there.  its a giant step backwards for Apple.

  • How do I lock an app on my iPad so my students can't close it with the home button

    How do I lock an app on my iPad so my students can't close the app by pressing the home button?

    Settings > General > Acessibility > Guided Access. Enter the app, and triple click the home button. Just tap Guided Access and it's locked in the app. You can even draw on areas of the screen that you don't want them to tap. It's amazing, isn't it ?
