How to password protect "Numbers" app on iPad.

It would seem that iPad users might like to password-protect other Apps as well. If there isn't an App to do so, someone should create one. No, I don't want to jailbreak to get the Cydia app.

There is at this time no way to put a password in the Numbers app nor on a Numbers spreadsheet, and as Michael said it's not something a third-party developer could add. You can suggest that Apple add a password feature via their feedback pages:
http://www.apple.com/feedback
or you can look for a third-party spreadsheet app that does allow password-protecting a sheet. Documents To Go from Dataviz is a commonly-recommended app that supports spreadsheets, but I don't know if they support passwording.
Regards.

  • Is there a way to password protect certain apps from being used? Example I don't want my child to access my apps while he's using his on the iPad

    Is there a way to password protect certain apps from being used? Example I don't want my child to access my apps while he's using his on the iPad. I don't want to lock him out of the iPad. Let him use Angry birds, but not Sims or Games not appropriate for him that I play.

    Sorry, but it is not possible to restrict use of specific apps other that the few restrictions provided in the Restrictions settings, not unless the app itself provides some sort of lock. If you don't want your child playing certain games, the only answer is to not load them on the iPad he uses.

  • How to password protect a numbers document

    I am using Numbers 08
    And the Numbers User Guide, supplied with iWork '08, make no mention of password protection, which was introduced in Numbers '09.
    Looks like the best option is Wayne's second suggestion—open via File > Print > PDF > Open in Preview, then Save the resulting PDF document with encryption turned on.
    An alternate, if you want the recipients to receive a copy of the Numbers '08 file, and to be able to edit that file, you could enclose it in a secure disk image file.
    The basic procedure is to:
    Use Disk Utility to create a new, blank, sparse disk image, assign a password and save.
    Double-click the .dmg file (and enter the password when requested) to mount the disk image on your desktop, then Save a copy of your file to the (open) disk image.
    When done, eject the image, and upload the (encrypted) .dmg file to the website.
    Detailed instructions may be found in Disk Utility's Help files.
    Launch DU (found in the Utilities folder in Applications), click the Help menu and choose Disk Utility help.
    Go to the index, scroll to and click Security, then click a title similar to "Protecting confidential documents in a secure disk image." (a search on 'confidential' should also take you to a list containing that title.)
    My version of DU is old enough that sparse images hadn't been introduced, or I'd post a copy of the article here.

  • Is there or will there soon be the ability for iPad to password protect email app

    Is there or will there soon be the ability for iPad to password protect email app?  When I share my iPad with my kids, I have to simply trust they don't use my email.  When will Apple program the standard email app to be password protected?  This is very important for all I would think.

    Apple does not respond to posts here.
    We are all users like you, so we have no way of knowing the answer.
    Let Apple know you want this feature:

    can you print password protected pdfs from an ipad?

    This may help, but I do note that the printer you state is NOT on the airprint list. You may need to go to the app store and see if Canon has an app that will facilitate printing on a non AirPrint device.

  • Password protected Numbers document

    Hi,
    I created a password protected Numbers document, off course I have forgotten the password to it.
    Is there any way to recover the contents of this document? (3rd party app?)
    I've read that Numbers doesn't encrypte the files so I'm guessing there must be a way.
    Regards
    Andries

    Who said that Numbers doesn't encrypt the file?
    Some of us wrote that we don't know the level of protection offered by the encryption scheme, no less, no more.
    If I compare the Index.xml.gzip of a normally saved document and he one available in a protected one, the contents are completely differents (even the size changes).
    If you buy a security lock for your house's door, I assume that you will take care of it.
    It's the same with the keyword sed to encrypt a document.
    Numbers is fair enough to give you the indice which you where urged to enter when you defined the password.
    It you can't remember te code with this indice, it woul de useful to forger not only the passwords but also, the protection feature.

    how can i sync numbers from my ipad to my new imac?

    If you mean spreadsheets from within the Numbers app on your iPad to your computer's iTunes then there are instructions here. If you mean that you want to copy the Numbers app from the iPad to your computer then you can copy it to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases; but if you want to use Numbers on your Mac then you will need to buy the Mac OS X version.

  • I can no longer access a password protected Numbers file with the correct password. Error message only says the file "cannot be opened."

    I'm using Numbers version 3.2.2.
    Suddenly I cannot access my password protected Numbers file with the correct password. I have the correct password written down so I know I haven't made a mistake.
    The response box that pops up says that the file cannot be opened. There are no other options for me to choose from.

    Also, I tried to open it through an older version of Numbers but it sent this error message.

  • How to password protect sensitive info

    Hey all,
    I have an Imac that is shared by the family. Occasionally, the kids move or delete things that I need for work.
    Can anyone help me with how to password protect specific folders so that the Imac is open to use but some files can not be accessed without a password.
    I would settle for a "hiding" program so they can't delete what they can't see.
    Thanks

    You can use Disk Utility to create encrypted disk images of your secret folders (menu File > New), also encrypted sparse images that can grow as you add more data to it.
    But the different User Accounts for each member of family is by far the most friendly and natural solution IMO.
    For your common family email, you know you could just create yet another User Account and name it "Family Account" or whatever, and it would be the one which hosts family mail?
