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.

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.

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.

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.

HT1766 Recently updated my iPhone 4s to the iOS 6. Now I can not install application updates, my music library has vanished, iTunes Match (in Settings) keeps setting itself to "Off".

I recently updated my iPhone 4s to the iOS 6. Now I can not install application updates, my music library has vanished, iTunes Match (in Settings) keeps setting itself to "Off". I have also logged off of iTunes in Settings, and it will not let me log back in. Just a few moments ago when I again tried to log into iTunes, it asked me for my Password, then replyed that I had no Match account; but I do. Is Restore the best option?
Any suggestions

I couldn't find the edit button on my original post so I am posting an update here.
I have gone through more apps and have had good luck on all but one more. And it's not that the app doesn't work, I am talking about the Yahoo Weather app, It works fine, but when you swipe between cities the screen lags a bit and it sometimes doesn't move between pages the way it should. On iOS 7.1.2 it was smooth as butter but on iOS 8.0, not so much. I will post a note in the app store to let them know. I really like the Yahoo app better than the new stock app.
I have been going through my games and they all work fine. Angry Birds (Original and Stella), Canabalt, Minecraft, Bejeweled 2, Silly Walks, PopWords, Doodle Jump, Deep Green all seem to work just fine.
Starbucks app works as it should.
I will stop back again next week after I have had the weekend to play with it in detail and post my thoughts again.

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.

YOU CAN ALSO FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...

Poll: Mail settings changes by itself

Now I want to make a poll to know how frequent this bug is:
Mail is unexpectedly changing settings in the "Preferences"-"Accounts"-"Advanced" from "Password" to "APOP"
(When this happens Mail is immediately asking for "Password"and nothing works anymore)
This applys to POP-accounts where the ISP-provider tells you that the setting is supposed to be set to "password".
Please reply to this subject to confirm the frequency of this bug.

I got this problem after istalling Leopard ( clean). Mail settings for password can´t be saved and changes itself to apop.And then mail asks for password when I open mail. This is a problem specific to pop accounts. Beccause it affects popusers all over the wolrd this is an apple issue BUG!!!!
I have tried all remedys suggested, changing intervals for mailchecking, new account, keychain, etc etc but nothing works. There are many more having this bud.
There are two other topics about this a.o mail not remembering pazzword.
I.M.H.O it could be worth to tell your ISP provider that you can´t use their APOP because Apple is refusing to react about this bug. So we don´t even know if there is a fix going on.

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

E5 'Settings' keeps closing itself

Hey guys, i got a Nokia E5, and for about 2 months now, i noticed that most times when i open 'Settings' in 'Cntrl Panel', it closes by itself. It does dis twice before it works the thrid time. This slows me down. Any fix except *#7370# ? Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

OK.. so post the results after the Hard Reset.. BTW.. its always good to inform the side-effects (data erase in this case..) even if known to many users like you.. but the thread may be refered by someone who experience similar problem and tries the suggestion without knowing its total effect...
