Enable A Guest Account So We Could Save Restriction Settings

How about a setting that will enable at boot up an option to log in main user (admin) or Guest account? And in the main user's restriction settings allow you to configure what apps the guest account can access. Then all you would have to do is set that 4 character password prompt for main user and allow guest to log in without a password. Then depending on your restriction settings you could make this thing a little bit more secure for families and multiple users. Any app purchases would still be under main user and need a password. I think this is doable. So say we all! ?

I guess I don't see it as a personal device. Since it has the ability to replace what most users use a laptop for. iPhone's size was holding it back from being the netbook killer. Now we have the larger version the iPad. iPad's OS has already started of on it's own path from the iPhone OS. So why not just put some chrooted dummy guest account option in it. So the multiple user household can have some way to save restriction settings and protect the main account.
My kids (5 and 3)are very good with my old G4 iBook and 1st Gen iPhone. Although there was that one time my son pulled all the keys off the iBook and the iPhone has been dropped like a hundred times on the hardwood but it still works.
If iPad is going to be a wonderful tool to help educate my kids since I didn't have to show my kids how to work the iPhone. They just figured it out. I hope some good EDU apps come out soon.

Can the iPad Mini restriction settings control downloading books on the Kindle Reader App?

I have a lot of books on my Kindle Account, and I'm about to give my kids iPad Minis. I want to put the Kindle Reading App on their devices, as I have a bunch of books that they love on my account, but I also have lots of books that I don't want them reading, just yet. Can the restrictions settings on the Mini create passcode access if they want to download a book on their own?

The restrictions that you use in the settings are only for content from the App Store, iTunes and the iBooks Store. As far as I know, there is no way to restrict access to the Kindle books in the settings. I have the Kindle app myself, but I don't know if there is a way to do what you want to do in the app itself or in your Amazon.com account.

HT201304 iPad Mini restriction settings

CCan anyone tell me where can I find restrictions settings in iPad Mini after 8.1.3 update...???

There should be a Passcodes option just before the Privacy option. You may need to try rebooting:
Rebooting your iDevice
Hold down the Sleep (On-Off) and Home buttons together for about 10-15 seconds or until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears - then let go of the buttons. The device should begin to start up.
If this does not work, then you need to reinstall 8.1.3 by Restoring.

HT201304 Save restriction settings

Is there a way to save restrictions settings so they dont reset every time I turn them off? Our children use our iPad so we enable the restrictions so they CAN'T buy and delete apps. Everytime I turn these off to use for myself they seem to reset and when turning back on I have to set all the settings again.

I agree - let us set the restrictions once and then enable/disable as needed. One easy example is that I restrict access to the App store along with installing or deleting applications for my son but when I want to add/delete an app, I disable restrictions and when done, I have to go in and reestablish ALL of the restricitions I want.

HT201304 I can't remember the four digit code to access the Restrictions settings. Is there a way of resetting it?

I set restrictions on a child's iPod and can't remember the code to change them.

Thanks. Do you know how many attempts I get before the iPod locks?
No, but you will probably be warned. Also if you happen to have a backup from before you set your Restrictions you can do a restore from that backup. But if the latest backup was done after you set the restrictions, you are out of luck.

If I locked the restrictions settings and thought I knew the password but didn't apparently, is there a way to unlock it now? How? HELP!

If you've forgotten the code, then was it on the iPad when you last synced/backed up to your computer's iTunes ? If not then you can restore to your backup. If it was on the iPad when you last backed up then you will need to reset the iPad - there is no way to override the code, and if it is on the backup then restoring to it will keep the code in place.

How can I get my restrictions settings open if I forgot my passcode?

I need to get or reset my restrictions settings passcode. Can anyone help?

Sadfully, you have to restore your iPod to factory defaults/new iPod. Restoring from backup will also restore the unknown Restrictions passcode.

Cannot figure how to disable youtube from ipod4g. Have disabled Safari but installed Google app with safesearch on. I want my daughter to be able to search wed, just not youtube. Tried to restrict YT, but It would not save restriction settings.

Do IOS restriction settings prevent restoring from a different backup

Can a child restore their iPad from their own backup and override restrictions set in place?

No, they could not - unless they have a backup that doesn't have the restrictions passcode in it. As Mr Jobs said, if they restore from a backup that contains the passcode, they will simply be reinstalling the passcode onto the device again.
They can restore the device as new and that will remove the restrictions passcode. That is what you have to do if you can't remember the restrictions passcode and you need to get into the settings again

How can I change a restrictions passcode without losing all the restricted settings?

We have two iPads for two boys... both are heavily restricted. One of my boys saw the passcode and I changed it by disabling and then re-enabling restrictions, only to be shocked when ALL MY SETTINGS were reverted to default and DIDNT come back after enabling restrictions again. How can I change the passcode on the other iPad without losing all the settings, especially the long list of blocked websites?
Thanks in advance.

What good would the passcode be if you could bypass it like that?

Accessing Restricted Settings

Is it possible, as an administrator, to do something to access settings on a Cisco IP phone if the settings access has been restricted? I know I can just change the setting and reset the phone and then do what I need and then change it back, but I was wondering if there was a key sequence to unlock it.

You can unlock the settings by pressing **#,
Go to the phone settings which you need to change then press **#, then you can able to change the settings.

Restrictions settings on by itself

Hi!
The restrictions setting on my ipad keeps being set to 'on' by itself.
It has already happened thrice and each time I would have to reset the restrictions password and redownload all the lost data.
It seems to only happen to chinese apps such as funshion
Does anyone know how to solve this problem? I greatly appreciate some help

I had this problem too. I have had my 305 for about a week. I will be on the tablet and all of the sudden and the screen will randomly flash settings, emails, web pages etc., very fast. I always do a reboot and it will stop for the time being, but it is happening every day. Is there any way to fix this? I have downloaded the updates for the tablet.

How to fix Enable Restrictions settings passcode

Having problem after loading update IOS 7.0.4. on IPad. In Settings/ General/ Restrictions = OFF. I want to Enable Restrictions, but the password I use for other Settings is not the same here. Problem is I never setup a different passcode for Enable Restrictions. This is new ipad received as Christmas gift & first time making changes to settings. How do I fix this issue

Follow the instructions in iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 to restore the device to factory settings.
Once you have setup the device as a new one, you can then sync it back with your iTunes account and all your music, apps, contacts and any other content sync'ed with iTunes will be loaded on the device. Any content that is stored only on the device and not sync'ed with iTunes, like app logins or data, will be lost during this process. Be forewarned that this is a long process and can take a couple of hours or more to complete. This can be painful, but it is necessarily so to prevent users from working around the security settings. After the restore is complete, you can setup a new Restrictions passcode. Make a note of the passcode to avoid this situation in future.
