Can I password protect the internet?

My 11 year old son just got an ipod touch and I know I can block it from home but I want to turn it off completely. Is there a way to turning off the wifi capability will any router? Does anyone know if there is a third-party solution out there?

@ Concerned_Mother
No, there is no way to tell the touch to avoid a second screen or how many screens there are. All you have to do is "flick" it over to the next screen. There is also an on-screen indicator (small dots above the dock: no dots is one screen, two dots are two screens, etc) of how many screens are available.
The 1.1.3 firmware update is free. You need to download iTunes 7.6 prior to installing the update.
The upgrade (January Apps Upgrade) is $20 and requires iTunes 7.6 along with the free firmware 1.1.3 update installed prior to upgrading.

Password protecting the internet

What is the EASIEST way to password protect the internet from my kids. They have PSPs and Xboxes that are picking up my wireless network and I tracked them online at 2am. I'm only familiar with very basic networking so please dumb it down for me!

What router are you using?See this

You can't do that in Firefox.<br />
Even if you would protect your Firefox profile with a password then it is still possible to copy or inspect files in the Firefox Profile Folder.

Your best bet is to use your own Windows account. Check this article for more information.

Can you password protect pages folders

When you create a folder in pages, can you password protect the folder, or it only that documents can have a password?

Only the file can be password protected from within Pages. If you don't want the file to open on your Mac without the password, then do not check, “Remember this password in my keychain,” in the password dialog. Record your document password where you can retrieve it — in case your forget, or if using keychain, in case it becomes damaged.
You can password protect (and encrypt) a folder that contains Pages documents, whether they are password protected or not.
In Finder, press shift+command+U to launch the Utilities Window.
Launch Disk Utility
File > New > Disk Image from Folder…
From the Select Folder to Image dialog, select the folder and click Image
From the New Image from Folder dialog
Image Format
Compressed - folder will be read-only with no ability to add documents later
Read/write - intuitive
Encryption: 256-bit AES Encryption
Save
In the new password dialog, set your password
You should strive for password complexity that shows strength as green
Record your password where you can retrieve it.
Again, the caveat about keychain as mentioned above
A new disk image will appear with the name you gave it, and a .dmg extension
Double-click for the password challenge
The disk image will mount on your desktop just like an installer. Double-click to open.If you chose Image format as read/write, you can drag additional Pages documents into this open folder
Right-click on the mounted image and choose Eject to close it
You can edit Pages documents in-place in the mounted folder, but you will get a warning about space in the image container. If you want to increase the disk image size, open it in Disk Utility. It willl appear below the line in the left panel. Select the .dmg there, and from the Images menu, choose Resize…, and adjust accordingly.

Hey guys, how can i password protect my files in external hard drive? I want to access those files both from mac and windows PC!

Hey guys, how can i password protect my files in external hard drive? I want to access those files both from mac and windows PC!

If you want a cross-platform solution that doesn't require the use of third-party software, use an external drive with hardware encryption. The device will have either a physical key or a numeric keypad. I don't have a specific recommendation.

Can I password-protect a PDF file?

I'm trying to set up a site with a 'members-only' area that
contains PDF files. Is there some way to password-protect the files
themselves, or do I need to settle for a protected php page that
links to the files. While it's unlikely that a non-member would be
able to guess the filenames, it's possible that an ex-member who's
username and password have been removed would still be able to
access the files with a bookmark, as they're not protected.
I understand that short of a commercial product to convert
pdf to html, I'm stuck with the pdf format, but is there some way
to embed the pdf within a html page?

You can actually create files and store them with different
names, so as
they can't be downloaded conventionally ...
In most Windows, and I am assuming PHP setups - you can store
files above
the root and use a page to call them ...
You protect them too - I think on a blanket (all instances of
the file have
the same password) approach is easier ...
Or take a look at this

Can I connect to the internet with an Ipad in Santo Domingo, DR while I'm on vacation?

Can I connect to the internet with an Ipad in Santo Domingo, DR while I'm on vacation?

Lots of hotels in the DR have WiFi. And there is plenty of cellular coverage in Santo Domingo (and elsewhere).
One thing to be careful of, the WiFi networks are usually not secured and are very vulnerable to people "listening" for passwords and user names, so don't do any financial transactions online and perhaps consider setting up some temporary passwords for the trip and changing them when you get home.

Is there a way to password-protect the Mail app?

I've looked through the Settings and didn't see anything. I know I can password-protect the entire device, but that seems like overkill.
Is there something I'm missing or even an app that would let me password-protect just the Mail app?

Seriously, if I want to hand someone my Touch, there's no way of keeping them from accessing my email? Why wouldn't there be a setting to secure your mail -- or, to paraphrase the ads, why isn't there "an app for that"?

Can you password protect an pdf Portfolio? Not a single pdf, but a pdf Portfolio.

I know how to password protect individual PDF's. My quesiton is can one password protect an entire pdf Portfolio after assembling the Portfolio.

Ipad keeps asking me to sign into iCloud. The problem is, I can't connect to the internet to do this because it keeps popping up. It's a 'catch 22'.

A pop up on my iPad keeps asking for my iCloud password, however, when I give it, it doesn't matter because I am not connected to the internet. I CAN'T connect to the internet because of the popup. How can I get rid of the pop up so I can connect?

You have bought the book but have you previously downloaded it to your iPad? If you go to your books collection and there is a little cloud icon on the cover of the book with a down arrow that means it's not stored on your device and you would need an internet connection to read/download it. If that's not the problem and Demo's suggestions don't work how about trying this desperate move: Settings > Airplane Mode (turn on) And try again. Do you have other downloaded books in your collection? If so do they act the same way or do they open ok? If they open then there is something corrupt about that particular book in which case I would delete it and re download it when you have access to the internet.

Some of my Mac apps can´t connect to the internet, while Firefox can

All of a sudden, Safari, ITunes, Software Update, can´t connect to the internet. It happens in my office and in my house. Have not checked other networks. Firefox wors fine, as does Mail (for now). What can be the problem?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
As Guest, test. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on some Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.) Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

IPad can't get in the internet via a WPA2 Enterprise setup

I've seen some similar posts and no real answers. My Office just got set up with Wireless, it's cisco gear and using RADUIS to authenticate. What they told us to do on the windows boxes was this:
Connect to the SSID
use WPA2 Enterprise Authentication
TKIP Encryption
Use PEAP Authentication
Uncheck the "Validate Server Certificate"
Authentication Method is EAP-MSCHAP v2 on the PEAP properties screen
Following these instructions on Windows 7 I can get on the network.
I tried this on my iPad:
connected to the network
selected WPA2 Enterprise
It Prompted my for my login/password
I entered them....
Then I got a certificate and it asked me to accept/install it, and I did
Then it connects to the access point and gets a signal
Even though I am connected and authenticated I can't get on the internet, and I get no IP address. Not a DHCP issue since other devices work.
Any ideas on alternate configurations, or what I'd need to do with the iPhone Configuration Utility to get this working?

"Unsupported" device - I've heard that before, too many times... =)
So after thinking on everything you've tried, it's safe to say that your AP is running PEAPv0 with EAP-MSCHAPv2 for Authentication. This is good news - as it is probably the most widely used Enterprise WiFi configuration, iOS devices should absolutely be compatible with this. Getting a non-domain XP PC connected was a great idea, as I have discovered that Windows XP is kind of "loose" in the way it handles PEAP certificates - it will accept any certificate given to it by a RADIUS server without question. Undoubtedly a big security hole, but it does have the advantage of being "user friendly." I don't think Apple's implementation is quite as loose, so even though you are manually accepting one certificate, you probably need more to complete the chain of trust required for your device to authenticate the server. This is a requirement for PEAP to function.
So at this point, I think your best bet would be to migrate over to the Credentials tab. If you're running the iPhone Config Utility on a PC which connects to the AP, you already have the certificates in your trusted certificate store - so simply hit the add button and add any relevant certificates. For example, if your domain is named "corporate", import any certificates bearing that domain. Once you've done this, head over to the Trust tab under WiFi and check off your newly imported certificates as being trusted for your connection.
In addition, if you can figure out what the name of the RADIUS server on the other end of the AP is doing the authentication, add it under "Trusted Certificate Names" - if you don't know it, you can also add a wildcard like "*.corporate" to trust any servers in your domain. This shotgun approach is probably your best bet for making it go initially.
You will know this is all working when you no longer get the dialog on your iPad to accept the certificate, and hopefully, you get an IP address.
We're truly in the thick of it now, and this is my last idea - so if this does not work, we will need to call on those stronger than I with iOS networking... or, you can call up your IT department and start the conversation off with the words "I bet you can't figure this out" - that always gets IT people going =)
Best of luck!
