Can you use an app without needing to unlock security lock?

My son has an iPhone 4 and I set up a password on it, so he doesn't use it for inappropriate usage. But, when he is home alone I sometimes have to call to check on him. He clearly receives the call, but cannot answer it because I had set up the security lock. Can someone please find a solution to this? Especially Apple? I would love to find out that Apple makes an update for this! The only thing you can do without unlocking the phone is the Camera.

It is not necessary to type your passcode when answering an incoming call.  The "slide to unlock" button will instead display "slide to answer" while the iPhone is ringing.  The call is answered immediately after sliding the button.
Are you sure that it is asking for the passcode?

  • Can you use Apple Pay without also needing to use a passcode to unlock your phone? I don't see that combination of options in settings.

    Can you use Apple Pay without also needing to use a passcode to unlock your phone? I don't see that combination of options in settings.

    I too don't like this. I would like to be able to use Touch ID for purchases on the App Store, Apple Pay, & Apple Store without having to use a passcode to unlock my phone. Why not allow the Touch ID to be app specific? Let us use it when we need it, not force us to use it for everything or nothing at all. That ***** that you have to set up a Passcode for your phone if you want to use Apple Pay. I didn't know about that. I haven't set that up yet because I'm waiting for them to support my credit card. Now I'm thinking I may not use Apple Pay. What a pain! Come on Apple, let us pick and choose what we want to lock down on our phones!!!

  • How can you delete an app without losing saved data/progress?

    How can you delete an app without losing saved data/progress? Is there a way through iCloud? I have an 8gb 4th gen iPod touch. I have a lot of music, so with 8gb, space is limited. Some apps I have take up 20-30 MB. Some of these games I don't play that much, but I don't delete them because I have made a lot of progress (levels, scores, acheivements). It would be nice to delete some of these 30 MB apps that take up precious space, and them redownload them in the future when I have more space, but without having to start the whole game over.
    Also, I read somewhere that there might be a way to do this with iCloud, but I don't really know how.
    Thanks!

    This is the only way I know of.  It is messy though.

  • Can you use apple watch without pairing to iphone?

    can you use apple watch without pairing to iphone?

    Essentially no.  Your watch has to connect to an iphone to be of any use.
    Once you do pair your watch and phone and you are in a known wifi area, you can turn off Bluetooth and your watch SHOULD connect directly with wifi. I've found it doesn't always connect.
    As of right now my bluetooth on the phone is OFF and I'm on wifi and can get notifications, play games, imessages, check instagram, etc etc.

  • Can you use family share without sharing payment?

    My wife and I purchase items separately with our individual apple ID's. Is there a way that we can both use family sharing but not use my payment info? We have no kids but have separate spending accounts that we like to keep separate.
    Thanks.
    -Brian

    There are some arrangements which would benefit from sharing whilst two family members continuing to have a separate payment option. I'm trying to search for that solution. I would like to share purchases with my wife that she is interested in and visa versa but I only want to pay for things that I'm interested in. If there is some album that I really like and she doesn't then we want it set up that I could pay for that alone rather than through a shared family account. Even with that we would still appreciate sharing each others apps and music when it's something we would like to have on our devices and shared mac.
    When you've switched to family sharing and family members choose to pay with a second payment method other than the shared credit account?

  • Can you use time capsule without leopard?

    I just wanted to know if time capsule can be used to back up etc without adding leopard?
    I'm using the last Tiger update and am reluctant to buy leopard osx if i don't have to as i like tiger.
    Lee

    im running Tiger and i want to purchase Time Capsule. i dont really care about using Time Machine or not, and dont want to update to Leopard at the moment. from what i've read here, i can still use Time Capsule, but does this mean the only way i can back-up is wirelessly? or does Time Capsule have a hard line option to connect my MacBook directly to it using a cable?

  • Can You Update Modern Apps without using the Windows Store?

    Our corporate image for Windows 8.1 has the Windows Store app disabled. We have started to see some users are getting prompted to update the built-in apps, like the weather app or the video app. When these users attempt to update, they are taken to the Windows
    store where they receive a message that states the store has been disabled by the administrator.
    We're using SCCM 2012 R2 CU3.  Is it possible to patch these apps through SCCM software updates rather than through the store?  Is it possible to leave the store open for updates, but not for new app downloads?  What can we do?

    Hi,
    The answer is no, When store app need to be updated, it would download a full new version package of the APP, install and replace the old ap. This process do need to login Windows Store to finish the job.

  • Can I use CC app without installing updates?

    I want to start using syncing Typekit fonts on my work computer and read that this needs to be done via the Creative Cloud desktop app. However, the app is prompting me to install an update and only gives me the option to Install or Quit - I prefer not to update it and don't see an option for this.
    Since it is an office computer I am restricted from installing/updating any software without going through a lot of red tape, so I'd like to avoid doing all the updates if possible - is there any way to sync fonts without the app update?

    I am sorry Amtx10 but you will want to update the Creative Cloud Desktop application if you wish to continue utilizing the services provided by the application and it's installed components.  You can find details regarding the updated features at Creative Cloud Help | Creative Cloud app for desktop | Release Notes.

  • How can you get free apps without a credit card?

    I got this iPod touch for my birthday and I really wanted to get cranking on getting free apps. I had made an account and everything, and it keeps asking me to finalize my payment plans. The thing is, is that i dont have a credit card. And all i want is free apps. So what can I do, because there  is no "none" option on iTunes 10.4 to indicate that you dont have a credit card. I tried making a new account, and I selecting a free app then going through the process hoping to find the "none" option, but nothing has worked.

  • Can you use GPS app while talking on the phone at the same time?

    Hi I'm just curious because I will be getting a iPhone 4 in May and I wanted to know if it's possible to be in a phone call while also using an GPS app?
    Does the GPS app use the data connection or the GPS signal or satellites?
    Thanks a bunch!
    Bruce

    Thanks and I also did some research and found out that with GPS active, if you load your route/directions prior to making a phone call the route will be cached and navigation still works. The GPS will tell you where you are along the route.
    But if you're on the phone and then try to load a map or navigation it will not load your route until it can download the map, meaning you will need to wait until you get off the phone call to download the info.
    So if you know you will need to use navigation, turn on your GPS, load your map/route to start navigation, then make your phone call. Makes sense to me now and if anyone needs to know here is the solution right here.

  • Can you use Apple TV without multicast enabled?

  • Can you use remote app on separate iPhones/AppleID's?

    I am trying to get the Apple remote app working on my wife's iPhone5.  We have two Apple TV's (v.2 and v.3) and would like to get her up and running to control them usng her iPhone.
    The remote app works fine when using my iPhone4S and iPad2.  When I launch the app, I see icons for each of our libraries and both Apple TV's.
    When she launches the app, she can see both of our libraries, but neither of the Apple TV's.
    Additional Info:
    My wife and I each have itunes/apple ID's/libraries on our respective computers. (OSX and WinXP)
    We both have Home Sharing turned on, on our computers and phones.
    The Apple TV's have both of our accounts set up in the Store settings.
    We can each access both libraries and send them to each Apple TV.
    I've been seaching the forums and trying everything I can think of.  Any help is appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Andy

    Ok, I see.  I had to sign her into Home Sharing in the Apple Remote app itself.  In Music settings, I have Home Sharing set up with her account.
    All is well.  Thanks!
