That is what Activation Lock of iOS 7 does
In addition, it renders the iPhone totally useless to anyone who doesn't know your Apple ID and password.

    Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.
    Then sync.

    Hello Damien,
    There is an option to set a passcode for the entire iPhone.  You can use the following steps to set this up:
    You can configure a passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using Settings > General > Passcode Lock.
    Once enabled, you will be prompted for the passcode whenever you:
    Turn on or restart the device
    Wake the device
    Unlock the screen
    Note: You can specify the amount of time the screen must be locked before requiring a passcode.
    You can find the full article here:

  • My itunes account was disabled for some reason.  I changed password in iforgot and still didn't work.  I could log in but not make purchases from the store so I set up a new login/account .  Is there any way to move my music to the new account?

    My itunes account was disabled for some reason.  I changed password in iforgot and still didn't work.  I could log in and see my music but not make purchases from the store or even redeem an itunes gift card so I set up a new login/account with another email account of mine. On the new account I can redeem my gift card and download items onto my ipad2.  Is there any way to move my music to the new account?

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

  • Is there any way I can get rid of the noise my iPod makes when I plug it in to charge without turning the volume of the whole IPod (4th Generation) down?

    I have a 4th generation IPod touch. Today I downloaded the new iOS 6.0.1 and I have a question. Is there any way I can get rid of the noise when I plug it in to charge? I had it set that way before, and I can't seem to figure out how I did it. I found when I turned down the over all volume it gets rid of it, but I don't want to change the over all volume. Thanks so much for you help and Happy Holidays.

    If it has NEVER been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, read this.

  • I just got my daughter a new macbook pro. She currently shares my wires apple id for iTunes on her iTouch. I need to set up an email account for her. Is there any way to set up a new iCloud email account but still use my wires apple id for iTunes?

    I just got my daughter a new macbook pro. She currently shares my wifes apple id for iTunes on her iTouch. I need to set up an email account for her. Is there any way to set up a new iCloud email account but still use my wifes apple id for iTunes?

    No it's not stealing. They have an allowance that you can share with so many computers/devices. You'll have to authorize her computer to play/use anything bought on your acct. You can do this under the Store menu at top when iTunes is open on her computer.
    As far as getting it all on her computer....I think but I am not sure (because I don't use the feature) but I think if you turn on Home Sharing in iTunes it may copy the music to her computer. I don't know maybe it just streams it. If nothing else you can sign into your acct on her computer and download it all to her computer from the cloud. Not sure exactly how to go about that, I haven't had to do that yet. I wonder if once you authorize her computer and then set it up for automatic downloads (under Edit>Preferences>Store) if everything would download. Sorry I'm not much help on that.

  • Is there any way to set a timer for particular playlist?

    i would like to listen to a sleep playslist everynight without getting up to turn it on. is there any way to set it in advance?

    this is not the problem. i know how to open iTunes when it starts up and to schedule the computer to shut down. what i want to is at 8 pm close all applications except iTunes, put the display to sleep and at 9 pm start playing a sleep playlist. i have been told many times not to look at the computer an hour before bed and i so i want to avoid having to look at it to start my go to sleep playlist.
    i have looked at a number of programs but i don’t see one that does this yet.

  • Is there any way to set the SCCM system to use local time instead of UTC?

    We have ConfigMgr 2012 in our environment. We are in EST.
    Is there any way to set the SCCM system to use local time instead of UTC?
    When we try to deploy packages, if you don’t specify the time, it reverts to UTC which for us is off by 5 hours.

    Which times are you talking about? Deployment start times or deadlines? Those could be set to UTC *or* client local time.

  • My wife and I share an iTunes account. Is there any way to set up a seperate one for her to sync her phone contacts, iCloud and music to without having to purchase all her music again and then share going forward?

    My wife and I share an iTunes account. Is there any way to set up a seperate one for her to sync her phone contacts, iCloud and music to without having to purchase all her music again and then share going forward?
    It would be so much easier having seperate accounts but we have hundreds of her purchased songs on my account and she would need to be able to access these from her account. Possible?
    Also, if we bought a song in future we would want to be able to both have access to it.
    Alternatively, what is the easy way to sync two distinctly different contact lists to one iTunes account?
    Thank you in advance.

    FYI: iTunes account (used to make purchases) is not the same as iTunes library (iTunes on your computer with music, movies, etc.).

    Will we have to create a seperate account for her, or can we all have the same one?
    You can but you will not be able to limit what she syncs.
    I would like to avoid 'checking' and 'unchecking' individual songs every time one of us tries to synch our ipods to the library.
    I don't recommend using (only) the checkmarks to select what to sync.
    Each of you can create your own playlists then sync only those playlists.
    Then add/delete from your own playlists to change iPod content.
    The only time I uncheck items is if I rarely/never want to sync them to anything, such as Christmas music or old audiobooks.
    I suggest you each have your own computer login account. Then everyone has their own contacts, calendars, and everything else.
    You and your husband can share an iTunes library and let your daughter have her own.

  • Is there any way to set default column widths in the Finder's Column view

    When my Finder windows open in column view, all the columns are always VERY wide. I have to then spend time resizing them to a managable width. Is there any way to set default column widths in the Finder's Column view?

    No, because you can't set a columns view default.

  • Is there any way to set up icloud with Windows XP?

    Is there any way to set up icloud using a PC with windows XP?

    Yes there is.
    There are many threads on this forum discussing this issue already (it's good to search before asking the same quesiton again).
    There is a simple hack to get iCloud control panel to work on Windows XP to give you synced access to Contacts, Calenders, Reminders and Bookmarks. It also can be used to set up your me.com mail. Photostream doesn't work.
    I found a solution here, have written it up in clearer english and added details re IMAP support for me.com addresses here:
    http://xlii.be/s/1ii
    In summary:
    You need:
    Unpacking program e.g. 7-Zip or WinRar
    Orca MSI editor
    The iCloud setup hack for Windows XP:
    Download iCloud Control Panel for Windows.
    Open iCloudSetup.exe file with WinRar or 7-Zip and extract.
    Navigate to and open the iCloud.msi or iCloud64.msi (for 64bit systems) with Orca.
    In the left table select LaunchCondition. Then change in the right table “VersionNT> = 600” to “VersionNT> = 200” and Save.
    Run modified iCloud.msi and install.
    Run iCloud Control Panel, located in the Windows Control Panel, and set up as you want.
    I've had reports that you need to keep the files extracted from the .exe file in the same directory during installaton of the .msi file.
    Have fun!
