Can i set up an access password for the ipod on my ipad 2?

I purchased an Ipad 2 for my son to use in his therapy for autism. He knows how to use it and knows that we have purchased shows and movies for him to watch in the car. Well now that is all he wants to do. I am wondering if there is a way that I can set up a password to access the ipod. If he cant get into the ipod to see shows and movies he will be fine with just playing the games we have for his therapy. I have looked online and have not had much luck finding an answer to this question. So again can someone please tell me if there is a way to set up an access password for the ipod on the ipad2??????

Have you got Home Sharing set up (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3819) ? i.e. he may be viewing the content from your computer, not on the actual iPad. If that is the case (which would explain to me him being able to access the videos via the iPod app), then the Restrictions settings that I've already mentioned should also work on that 'remote' content.
Edit : your last reply appeared whilst I was typing/checking this. And no, the Videos/iPod apps can't be passcode protected, you will need to go back into Restrictions and remove the restriction, or if the films are only on your computer and not on the iPad itself you could turn off home sharing on the iPad whilst he's playing the games : Settings > iPod and tap on your account id and/or password on the right under Home Sharing and delete it/ them (re-enter them when you want to re-enable it).

    have an ipod and then got the wife an iphone4. all passwords are screwed up. she can not access playstore cuz she doesn't have password. i can not get find any help on how to get or update a password for the ipod. and then get her a separate password for her iphone. we need to save her photos, music, etc to ? icloud and the phone stuff to verizon cloud? so when she gets her new Iphone6 she can have all her "stuff" back on the new phone. hope this makes sense. please offer suggestions here or at [email protected] thanks for your help!

    Oh no! I'm sorry to see there's a lot of confusion here and data shared, x-rayDon. We can definitely work to fix. This happens when two devices share the same Apple ID, so she will need to reset hers. She can do so by assessing this link Apple - My Apple ID. You will need to decide who will keep the account if want separate Apple IDs since purchases cannot be shared unless you do Family Sharing.

  • When I download itunes, it says that Ipod Service failed to start. I checked the services under task manager and when I try to start it, it says access denied. How to I get access and for the ipod service to start and run?

    Please help. My ipod classic could not be recognised by itunes when I connect my ipod to PC. Previously it has been recognised before I updated. This was a while ago now and so I removed all apple files and re installed the latest itunes but am having the same problem.
    When I download itunes, it says that Ipod Service failed to start. I checked the services under task manager and when I try to start it, it says access denied. How to I get access and for the ipod service to start and run?

    Some anti-virus programs (e.g., McAfee) have this rule that can be invoked under the "maximum protection" settings: PREVENT PROGRAMS REGISTERING AS A SERVICE. If that rule is set to BLOCK, then any attempt to install or upgrade iTunes will fail with an "iPod service failed to start" message.
    If you are getting this problem with iTunes, check to see if your anti-virus has this setting and unset it, at least for as long as the iTunes install requires. Exactly how to find the rule and turn it on and off will vary, depending upon your anti-malware software. However, if your anti-virus or anti-malware software produces a log of its activities, examining the log may help you find the problem.
    For example, here's the log entry for McAfee:
    9/23/2009 3:18:45 PM Blocked by Access Protection rule NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM C:\WINDOWS\system32\services.exe \REGISTRY\MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\iPod Service Common Maximum Protection:Prevent programs registering as a service Action blocked : Create
    Note that the log says "Common Maximum Protection: Prevent programs registering as a service". The "Common Maximum Protection" is the location of the rule, "Prevent programs registering as a service" is the rule. I used that information to track down the location in the McAfee VirusScan Console where I could turn the rule off.
    After I made the change, iTunes installed without complaint.

    iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
    If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.

  • Can you set a large fetch size for the standard popup LOV

    I'm trying to increase the fetch size that the popup LOV uses when I set a LOV up for an attribute.  It seems to have a default of 25.  I don't really have the issue when I'm on a PC, but when we run the app under Safri on an IPAD it will not automatically fetch the next 25 rows when the user scrolls down like it does in IE.  I had the same issue with tables, but I can change the fetch size on the table.  I really need to set the fetch size on the LOV.  ANyone know how to do this?  I don't even care if the setting would be across the board or just specific to one view.   

    I'm on 11g.  I'm using input list of values.  I don't want to wait for the whole list since the search could return 1000's of rows.  I like the automatic fetching I get with IE.  The IPAD is the issue.  It does not do an automatic fetch when you scroll to the end.  So, the user is limited to 25 rows no mater what their selection criteria is.  I'd like this to be around 400 if I could get it. 

  • How can I get FIREFOX to store password for the public library, since it doesn't ask me when I go to that site ?

    My password at a particular website was changed recently, so I
    removed that site from the list of saved passwords in Firefox
    manager. Now, when I visit that site, FIREFOX doesn't ask me
    to save the password for this site.
    WHY ?

    The website may be using autocomplete=off to prevent Firefox from saving the name and password.
    You can remove autocomplete=off with a bookmarklet to make Firefox save the name and password.

  • HT1911 My daughters ipod has been disabled and I just want to reset password for the ipod not itunes account.  We have one itunes account for all our devices (so I can control what they purchase).

    Why is itunes so difficult to navigate around?

    You will need to connect the iPod to a computer's iTunes, and you may need to put it into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 - you should then be able to reset the iPod and restore / resync the content to it.
    If it's done via computer that it hasn't been synced to, and therefore doesn't have a backup on it, then from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212 :
    If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.

  • HT5787 Help...I used what I thought was my password but it didn't work so I reset it....tried the new one and it doesn't work...I have reset and set up a new password for the fourth time this evening and still I can't get in?!!!! What am I doing wrong? Th

    I reset it again and it won't work in iTunes.. I have downloaded several apps before but now it just keeps saying retry.....but strangely my new password got me into this forum site?   Help..have I done something in settings?

    Did you try the one working module in both ram slots? If it worked in both slots then the other module is faulty. If the known good module didn't work in both slots then try the other module in both slots. By a process of trial and error you'll be able to determine if you've just got a bad module or a failed ram slot.

  • Can you set Face time to prompt for password on use?

    Can you set Facetime to require password each time you go into the app?
    Regards,
    Buc

    No. you cannot set a password for individual Apps unless said App has that feature. Apple Apps like FaceTime do not.
    .  You can however use Restrictions to disable Facetime, and only enable it when you want to use it, by going back into restrictions and enabling it.
    Settings->Restrictions->Facetime (Turn Off)
    You'll need to enter the set password to enable / disable it each time.
