The physical circle button on iPad next to screen, it's seems to be sometime dangerous while my child is playing, it hides open apps and it's confusing always. Can anyone have an idea how to disable this button on ipad?
iPad, iOS 5.1.1
No you cannot disable that button, it is called the home button and has multiple functions, including closing an app, double click to display the dock with recent apps, combine with power/sleep button to reset the iPad, and a host of other functions. The home button is too important to disable.
You can't at the moment, but with new 'accessibility' features in iOS 6 in the Autumn (from here) :
It allows a parent, teacher, or administrator to limit an iOS device to one app by disabling the Home button, as well as restrict touch input on certain areas of the screen.
Hi..
I think you mean the Home button, that cannot be disabled.
Didn't see that "feature" KP...guess I need to read the announcements more carefully, but I can just see the questions that are going to roll in here come iOS 6 and disabled home buttons đ
Yes - and also more 'how do I get Siri to work on my iPad 2', 'why can't I install iOS 6 on a first gen iPad' ...
Thanks to all for your quick response with regards to resolution of my query. I understand HOME button is very important for iPad and iPhone, it does have multi functionality. So anyways, thans for all your comments and solution again.
You can disable it quite easily. Check out http://www.enterpriseios.com/story/2012/03/28/How_to_disable_the_iPads_home_butt on_enable_Store_Demo_Mode_for_kiosks.
