7.1 Touch ID passcode fail

So it was my understanding that Apple addressed the community request to separate the Touch ID option into 2 different selections: One for Unlocking your Phone, and One for purchasing apps via iTunes.
Why does iOS 7.1 require the passcode to be enabled on the phone if you only want to enable the option that allows fingerprint purchases via iTunes?
The purpose of this change should of been to maintain the traditional slide to unlock option without the need for added security should someone not want it.
Currently to make an iTunes purchase, I need to slide my phone to begin to unlock it, only to then type in a 4 digit passcode which will ultimately achieve the unlock, and THEN scan my thumb print to complete the purchase.
Why on earth is the passcode required?  There were a TON of us out there who requested changes to the Fingerprint settings - to anyone out there - does this now function as you envisioned or does anyone else share the opinion I have?

Maybe I'm solo here - surprised no one has chimed in to offer thoughts on this.

  • I don't have access to a computer and so,without physically  attaching my iPod touch to PC devices, can you manually restore an apple iPod touch, restrictions passcode online to iTunes and restore it to store purchased factory settings?

    i don't have access to a computer and so,without physically  attaching my iPod touch to PC devices, can you manually restore an apple iPod touch, restrictions passcode online to iTunes and restore it to store purchased factory settings?

    Sorry but no. The only way to restore an iPod to factory settings is through iTunes on a computer. You will need to get access to a computer somehow. If you can get to an Apple Store, they can probably help you.

  • HT201371 Can't adjust setting for touch ID passcode. Stuck on required immediately

    The only option for when my touch ID passcode is required is "immediately". There are no other options i.e. every 5, 15, 30 minutes when using touch id but they are available for numerical passcodes. Any suggestions?

    I find this to be very annoying and hope Apple changes this in a future version. Touch ID is great, but not perfect. I've had the iphone 5s for about a month now and frustrated that Touch ID is either often slow or only works about 60% on my first try. I open my phone about 30 times a day and because of this setting I have to use Touch ID about 30 times a day.
    Apple, please, either make Touch ID better or remove that requirement. For now, I'm going to disable it for login as it just doesn't work well enough.

  • Cannot launch PS Touch - License check failed

    Hello
    Have downloaded PS Touch and in settings have activated my access to my Creative Cloud account.
    Each time I try to begin a tutorial is comes up with an error message:  "Cannot launch PS Touch - License check failed.  Sign into Google Play, If the problem persists, contact Adobe Support."
    I have signed into Google Play and checked my account settings there and then opened the app from within Google Play.  App is able to be accessed - I can see the tutorials but when in touch Begin Tutorial the above error message keeps coming up.
    I am using a Samsung Galaxy Tab10.1 running Android Version 4.0.4
    Thanks

    Hi. I'm sorry to hear that you have trouble tunning PS Touch.
    Can you please try the following.
    - have  the network running on your device
    - double check that your device has the correct date set
    - restart PS Touch
    If that won't help please try to re-install via google play store.
    Thanks,

  • Iphone 5 Passcode Fails

    Cannot get daughter's Iphone 5 turned on as passcode does not do the trick. Hooked iphone 5 up to Itunes and it will not sync because there are too many files currently open. Entering passcode fails to turn on phone. Could installing new router have anything to do with it? But with Sprint 3g still passcode does not switch on homepage? thank U

    Do you mean it says the passcode is incorrect? If that's the case, it's incorrect. It's a machine. It didn't just make up a passcode on its own.

    That's a windows problem. It has nothing to do with the phone.
    Could installing new router have anything to do with it?
    I don't see how that could possibly be related.
    But with Sprint 3g still passcode does not switch on homepage?
    What carrier it is has nothing to do with the passcode.
    Perhaps you should tell us what the actual error is.

  • Forgotten touch id passcode for ipad air

    I've managed to forget my touch id passcode for my new ipad air. I have followed the instructions from the help pages and advice from other posts but doesn't seem to work. I've connected it to  a computer and attempted to restore as per the instructions but it doesn't seem to recognise it. Any ideas please?

    Hello nessjane,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    If you have forgotten your passcode on your iPad, you will need to restore your device.  There are multiple options for this, as you can see in the article linked to below.  Which process have you tried but were unable to succeed?

    Try:
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next connect to iTunes and update via iTunes. Others have had the same problem.

  • HT201371 'Settings General Touch ID & Passcode' menu unavailable

    Hello my 5s doesn't have the 'Settings > General > Touch ID & Passcode'... Instead, I have just 'Passcode lock'...
    Would you know how I could get the 'Settings > General > Touch ID & Passcode' back?
    Thank you

    On my part, I am located in the Philippines. Using the service from a provider called SMART. I have only gmail accounts setup on this 5S phone. However I used to have an exchange account on my previous iphone 4. This exchange account was deleted a long time ago but there might be related exchange files or settings that were still existing and saved in the backup (iphone 4) I used to restore on the new iphone 5S I just bought...
    Now I wonder if it is a software/backup defect or a hardware defect...

  • HT204587 touch id & passcode missing from menu

    touch id & passcode missing from menu on new iphone 5s

    I am still trying to understand my issue. I believe more and more than it is some kind of limits on password characters or complexity:
    - http://images.apple.com/ipad/business/docs/iOS_Security_Feb14.pdf, in February 2014, Apple indicates than you can use long passwords but only limited to alphanumeric characters: "iOS supports four-digit and arbitrary-length alphanumeric passcodes". Nevertheless, they also speak about complex characters without detailing what it means.
    - http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jason-gilbert/use-accented-letters-iphone-passcode -secure_b_2765927.html, this report from Jason Gilbert (Feb 2013) recommends to use complex/special characters but indicated that "Apple added the ability to turn your passcode into a combination of numbers and letters, from 5 to 12 characters in length".
    -https://developer.apple.com/.../leRef/Introduction/Introduction.html gives more detail listing some of the "authorised" complex characters: "A complex character is a character other than a number or a letter, such as &%$#".
    I am still a little bit confused regarding which characters can be used. Apparently, lenght is not a problem for passcode and we can use some complex characters but considering I was using spaces " ", simple quote " ' ", " - ", puctuation " ! " and accentuated characters "é", I may have used an "unsuported" passcode.

  • IPod Touch - Restrictions Four Digit Passcode - Failed Passcode Attempts?

    I've have forgotten the restrictions four-digit passcode I set up on my iPod Touch. I've have so far entered the wrong passcode 11 times. I now have to wait one hour between each attempt.
    Is there a limit to the number of attempts permitted?

    There is a setting you can put on the Touch to erase the data after 10 failed passcode attempts. If you're sure you tried 11 times and your Touch did not erase, you must not have enabled that option.

    Questions:

    2. If so, can it be reset manually?
    3. Does Apple have configuration profile for devices, like a registry key?
    4. If so, where is it located?
    Configuration:

    NOTE: This Update is required when using a OneTouch Drive as a bootable device. Seagate suggests that you dismount and disconnect your FireWire Drive before continuing.
    Users have identified issues when connecting OneTouch External Drives to FireWire Ports on their Mac G4 and/or G5 computers. These Problems range from system hangs, kernel panics to slow data transfer rates. The cause of these problems has been traced back to the FireWire Driver. Seagate has resolved these problems through updated FireWire Drivers.

  • IPod Touch (2nd generation) fails to sync correctly under Windows 7 SP1.

    My 2nd generation iPod touch has started acting strange since I installed the latest service pack to Windows 7. It worked fine prior to this, but since I've updated to service pack 1, I've been unable to sync my applications properly and when I attempt to restore the iPod to the original factory settings I get the following message: "The iPod "iPod" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (6)". I've attempted both an update on an existing Windows 7 installation and on a "clean" installation where I install the OS, then the service pack and then the iTunes software (latest version 10.2.0.34). The second method worked to sync my iPod touch intially, but a day later after I downloaded updates to some of my purchased apps, these programs failed to sync to the iPod as they were not "signed". I've authorized and deauthorized my computer as suggested, uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and backed up my iTunes library as suggested. The problem continues and I'm more than a little frustrated by this. The sync fails and I end up with a iPod with NO content on it. Or, when the restore fails I have an iPod that's looking for a connection to iTunes. Anyone have any suggestions?
