Can we disable the ipad fully? I have heard that its not possible. I have searched for it and it shows that the above cannot be done and if its done then the app will be rejected. But still for an accurate answer i'm posting this. Can any one provide me with the correct response?

No, you cannot do this without rooting the iPad (thereby invalidating its warrantee) and installing what most users would consider malware. (You may well have a reasonable use case — loaning them out or something — I'm just saying, that's how most users would see it.)

    @Kiron: I can't, no, because mostly they don't document things you can't do; they document things you *can* do. But a similar question has been raised many times about disabling the button when someone's in an app (usually this is raised by people writing apps for small children where they want a parent to exit the app, not the child). You can't do that. If you can't do that (without rooting the device), you certainly can't do what you're describing. – T.J. Crowder Apr 16 '12 at 09:27

  • @Kiron: No worries, glad that helped. Here's an example of the home button question, the answers may be useful: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4190169/temporarily-lock-or-disable-iphone-home-button – T.J. Crowder Apr 16 '12 at 09:29
