Can't Set a Passcode

Pretty simple really. I can't set a passcode on my iPod Touch. I can go into the settings and it'll let me go through the motions to turn the passcode on but it doesn't turn on. What can I do?

I restored my IPad to factory settings then I restored from backup and the problems are still there , so I'm thinking to restore it to factory settings again and restore it from iCould even though I don't have enough iCould storage. I really wanna keep my files.
Now, other space taking so much space and I have no free space

You must purchase apps that comes with passcode lock; otherwise lock your iPad.

HT4113 Can you set a passcode to activate at certain times of the day, say at 930pm, and turn off again the next morning?

No, sorry, you can't. The screen lock passcode is either on at all times or it's off.

How can I set a passcode that is only required at certain times of the day. Ie: my child needs access for school use, but don't want her playing iPad in the middle of the night. I cannot identify a way to have the iPad turn off or require a password

I cannot find a way to enable my child's iPad to require a passcode only at certain times of the day.
Yes I have used the clock/timer/ countdown - great to restrict how many minutes of iPad usage they get a day.
But as my child requires the iPad in school for class lessons the usage at school varies maybe 30 mins 1 day and a few hrs on other days
I want the ability to say set the iPad to not work between say 7pm and 7am, ( unless a passcode is entered) so my child isn't playing games on it in the middle of the night...
Apple I cannot see anything in the settings that performs this function

You can Remote Lock his iPad with Find My iPad using a computer at whatever time you like.

Note: The iPad may be disabled if he tries the passcode too many times.

How can I set a password for my pictures on iPad Air ?

How can I set a password for my pictures on iPad Air ? if anyone have my iPad access mail or something I don't want anyone access my photos so how can I set it up.

You can't set a password for the Photos nor Mail apps, you can only set a passcode for your iPad as a whole (via Settings > Passcode).
There are third-party photo management apps such as Photo Manager Pro which you can copy your photos into from the Photos app (and then delete them from Photos), that app allows you (via its settings within the app) to set a password to access it.
For email you could access your email via a browser (and not have your password stored in the browser), or see if there are any email apps in your country's app store which have a password option

HT1212 I just updated my Ipad 2 to IOS7, now it is asking me for a passcode. I never set a passcode on my Ipad, so how can I enter a passcode. I tried using the OIS7 passcode I use on my Iphone and it did not work and now my Ipad is disabled

I just updated my Ipad 2 to IOS 7, now it is asking me for a passcode. I never set a passcode on my Ipad, so how can I enter a passcode. Earlier today I upgraded my Iphone 5 to IOS 7 and it asked me to set a passcode, which now works fine on my Phone. I tried using the OIS7 passcode I use on my Iphone 5 and it did not work and now my Ipad is disabled. Both devices are on icloud and share the same apple id. The Ipad screen says slide to set up but then there is a prompt for passcode, not for setting up passcode

I called Apple Support and a supervisor helped resolve this for me on my iPad. I suggest calling them for help as this is obviously an issue with the iOS 7 update - she helped me without charge. I could be missing something in my upcoming description, so do not take this as complete - call them.
I had to update iTunes on my Mac Air to the latest version, and I had an iCloud backup from the day I updated to iOS7. Have iTunes open but do NOT connect your iPad yet. Shut down the iPad. Then press/hold the Home key on the iPad while you connect the USB from the iPad to the computer (an image of the USB cable appeared on the iPad). Follow the prompts in iTunes to restore and then backup using iCloud. When the iPad rebooted again to do the backup install, I got the same pass code issue and iTunes would not recognize the iPad without entering a pass code. I disconnected the iPad, turned it off, pressed the Home key while connecting the USB cable. When I did the restore and backup from iCloud the second time, it worked without the pass code issue occurring.

How can I set a new passcode?

How can I set a new passcode. I cannot remember my old passcode and now I can't get in. I can get phone calls and see text when it's sent to me but am unable to use. Help me please!!!!!

The only answer for that is RESTORE your iPhone using any functioning computer with iTunes. Yes, you are going to loose all the data,
Actually, wrong!! If you try to restore using a computer the phone hasn't synced with, you'll have to enter the passcode into iTunes during the restore.
In my experience, the most effective method for people who simultaneously "forget" the passcode that they had to use many times a day, and mysteriously lose access to the computer the phone synced with, is to ask the rightful owner for the passcode or return the phone to him.
There is another method involving recovery mode, but the OP is on his own for that.
Question: Is is better to let your data "loose", or lose your data?

How can I check my passcode I updated today and when I am going to reset all content and setting my iPhone 4S they asked me for passcode when I entered the passcode the one I just update too is doesn't want to accept it

how can I check my passcode I updated today and when I am going to reset all content and setting my iPhone 4S they asked me for passcode when I entered the passcode the one I just update too is doesn't want to accept it

I have had the same problem with iPad recently not too sure why it happened but if you are completing a full reset anyway the easiest way is the restore via itunes on your computer and then set up a new passcode again. Resetting via itunes doesnt require a passcode so it should go straight through.
Hope this helps

Can I set up a separate passcode for use of facetime

My children both have an iPad but obsessed with face time I wondered if it was possible to set up a passcode or password that need to be entered before using FaceTime. Even if I could hide FaceTime but also stop unwanted people from contacting it

It would be a very good idea to read the links that Kappy posted above. But for a brief explanation .....
You can restrict FaceTIme in the settings and the app will disappear from the iPad as will the camera app. You will have to set a restrictions passcode if you want to do this. If you do set restrictions - do NOT forget the pascode or you have to totally erase the iPad to bypass the code. And most of all, don't share the code with the kids.
Settings> General> Restrictions> FaceTime> Off.
You can also block other users from calling in. Settings> FaceTime> Blocked> Add New.
Other than that, you cannot passcode lock FaceTime. There is no way to set a passcode in order to use the app, but you can restrict it as I explained above.

HT5509 In an app that was frozen, I triple-clicked the home button and activated "guided access". I never set a passcode but can't exit GA without one. Is there a default passcode when one is not set by user? ipad2 ios 6.something

We have an iPad 2 running ios 6.something - I can't check that right now because we can't seem to exit "guided access". I was playing Clumsy Ninja when it froze. I didn't know about forcing closed or removing an app from the recent bar yet at the time, so I was looking through settings for some kind of intuitively obvious admin tool for shutting down a jammed app - to no avail. Then I reopened the game and tried different things: holding the home button down, pressing the home button multiple times. When I did that, "guided access" launched. It informed me that it had deactivated the buttons, and asked me if I wanted to shut down parts of screen. No solution in that, so I attempted to exit GA at which point ipad requested a passcode - I never set a general passcode or a GA passcode, so I have no idea what to put in. I have tried rebooting by means of Home and Power buttons - it reopens Clumsy Ninja with GA active.
Is there a default "Guided Access" passcode that would be in place since I haven't set one?

Nope . I was the only one using it and I did not set a passcode . That would have been a red flag for me . We don't have it configured to require a passcode for logon and I would not have created one intentionally .
Thanks for responding Diavonex .

For the Iphone 5C, can I set up a drawing for a passcode lock or is it just numbers?

For the Iphone 5C, can I set up a drawing for a passcode lock or is it just a number lock passcode

You can set up a 4-digit numerical passcode or a longer, complex password including letters and number. A pattern lock is not an option.
