Checking from app whether a passcode lock is set for Ipad

Hi,
Since my app would be dealing with sensitive data of the user, I would like to know if there is a way I can check from my app whether there is a Passcode Lock set for the Ipad.
The reason I need to check this is because say if the user has in the app some information and then keeps it on the table and goes out for a couple of minutes. The ipad/iphone by default, goes to standby mode. If a passcode lock had been set, only when the correct passcode is entered, would anyone be able to use the ipad. This would provide an additional security measure to prevent any passerby to view the sensitive data from the app.
So basically, I would like my app to check whether the passcode lock is set and if not prompt the user to do it.
Is this possible and if so, would any one be able to point me in the right direction?

thanks for the link..
well, that still does not give me what I need.. I have implemented that functionality already in my app..
Since this is a client requirement, I need to make sure whether it is possible or not.. so again, I need to check from my app, whether there is a passcode set in the ipad ( so that only when the passcode is typed, will the ipad be unlocked) . if a passcode lock is not set in the ipad, then I should be able to tell the user to do it...

  • If my iPhone is stolen and the thief shut the phone down, I wouldn't be able to locate it anymore.  Is it possible to disable the possibility to shut down the phone when a passcode lock is set up?

    If my iPhone is stolen and the thief shut the phone down, I wouldn't be able to locate it anymore.
    Is it possible to disable the possibility to shut down the phone when a passcode lock is set up?
    enable prohibition shutdown option, with out a jail break tweek
    Apple should think about this, if not already in the new IOS 7

    No.
    The battery will run out sooner or later anyway, even if you could prevent shutdown.
    iOS 7 includes a feature that prevents anyone wiping and then re-setting up the phone without your AppleID and password.

    That is true, and if it is restored to factory settings, and so on.  Find My...works when a device is connected to the internet and logs itself in as long as it has not been "sanitized" so it is not recognized.

  • HT4479 How do i retrieve a passcode that i set for my ipad?

    How do i retrieve a passcode that i set for my ipad?

    You can't. If you don't remember it then you have to reset the iPad. This will erase everything on the device before restoring iOS. If you synced recently with iTunes, then you can restore from the most recent backup.

  • DTP error: Lock NOT set for: Loading master data attributes

    Hi,
    I have a custom datasource from ECC which loads into 0CUST_SALES.  I'm using DTP & transformation which has worked for loading data in the past for this infoobject.  The infopackage loads with a green status but when i try to load data, the DTP fails with an error message at "Updating attributes for InfoObject 0CUST_SALES Processing Terminated" & the job log says: "Lock NOT set for: Loading master data attributes".  I've tried reactivating everything but it didn't help. Does anyone know what this error means? We're on SP7.   Thanks in advance!

    Hello Catherine
    I have had this problem in the past (3.0B) --> the reason is that our system was too slow and could not crunch the data fast enough, therefore packets where loacking each other.
    The fix: load the data into the PSA only, and then send it in background from the PSA to the info object. By doing this, only a background process will run, therefore locks cannot happen.
    Fix#2: by a faster server (by faster, I mean more CPU power)
    Now, maybe you have another issue with NW2004s, this was only my 2 cents quick thought
    Good luck!

  • How to know whether a vacation rule is set for a user

    Hi,
    How to know whether a vacation rule is set for a user or not in the BPM process. Can anyone help me in this.
    Thanks,

    In Linux a user has to have read permission on a file to even see that it exists. As a result, if a user (or a group to which they belong) doesn't have read access to the file File.exists() will return false. Windows which doesn't have as tightly controlled access to files will admit that a file exists whether it can be read or not.
    PS.
    This is proof that I should never answer a question off the top of my head when I haven't had my red bull yet. This is wrong. You will be able to see it if you have read and execute on the directory.

  • Is there a way to "fully" disable, or delete, the passcode lock feature on an iPad?

    i am incharge of 50 iPads for ur schol district and have been creating profiles and enabling restrictions on the iPads. today i came across the 'passcode lock' feature, that i am sure all are fimiliar with. if i set that with a code, any student can use that same code to reset the passcode to anythng their little hearts desire. ca this feature be removed from the iPads .. or at least hidden?
    Michael

    Sorry but no, there is not, at least none I've heard of. There are several such issues that complicate the use of iPads in classrooms. Most school districts I've read comments from here seem to just have gotten used to the idea that they'll have to reconfigure the iPads from time to time.

    Have you set one of your IMAP based email accounts to have its notes displayed in the Notes app ? Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars , tap on your email account on the right-hand side and set Notes to 'On' - you will then be able to set that email account to be the default account for new notes.

  • Error "Lock not set for: Generate index" while running process chain

    SAP BI 7.0
    SP 17
    I am attempting to run a new process chain and the generate index steps are failing with the below errors:
    "Lock NOT set forGenerate index"
    "RSSM PROCESS INDEX terminated, because InfoCube/DSO object could not be locked."
    The process chain just pauses. I let it finish once and it took 2 hours and then it gave the failure messages. I have looked in sm12 and can see the lock records when the process chain is running - unfortunately I can't make much of what's there - everything looks good to me. I also tried creating the indexes manually inside the cube and then re-ran, but still get the same error. Before running the process chain, I can get the indexes to check to green, but then after running the process chain they go back to red. I have attempted many things (including looking at other forum posts), but I still have the error. Please help. Thanks

    Hello,
    So Create index is getting failed in you PS right?
    1)check  if any other loads are running to the same CUBE(May be from other PC's also)
    Goto Manage of the cube and check, some times it may happen if any Loads are running into cube I mean Load/DTP & roll up may be running.. if so wait till the others Loads(Jobs) get complete then Repeat the failed index
    2) If the Create index is running for long time, then  got RSDDV--> Select the CUBE then click on BIA index(Maintenance wizard), you can see a message if indexes are running , this will happen  only when some one would have tried to generate the indexes manually and it may got failed due to some reason , since u are running it manually u couldn't identify whether it got failed or not unless you got to RSDDV and check. So delete the index here and then rebuild them through PC
    Hope it helps!

  • My iPod touch screen doesn't shut off. The auto lock is set for two mintues, and everything else is working fine. I've noticed it only fails to shut off when in the music screen. How do I get the screen to shut off without using the lock button?

    Please help. This is really annoying and it runs my battery down. My auto lock is set to two minutes. I've checked several times. Thanks.

    Try:

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Export Media from DV Pal to AVI: Best recommended setting for Output file?

    I have a project in CS4, on Windows, in DV format (original videos were M2t).
    What is the optimal setting for export (and possibly for the sequence settings too) for the best quality and then smallest size?
    If my input is M2T files - is the best settings to work in Premiere is DV 1 for Pal?
    I always use Progressive Interlace - is that required or is the default of Lower field OK as well (I am not sure exactly what is the impact of using just one field, but from previous versions of Premiere Progressive always improved the video image)?
    Is the frame rate of Pal as 25 FPS must be adhered in the sequence setting and export to avoid re-rendering?
    As for the Export side:
    Is using the DV Pal is best for quality without going uncompressed?
    Is starting with 16GB of DV as m2T and ending with 20GB of DV reasonable?
    Is the method of exporting to DV and then compressing it using a 3rd party is the best way going about the creation of the movie and then compressing it for distribution?
    What is the the recommended tool for compressing - and with which format?
    The end result is meant to be consumed as an AVI on people's desktop. Not on mobiles or YouTube or DVD.
    On BitTorrent I see many files that are in HD but have an amazingly small size of less 1 GB - what do these guys use to achieve such small sizes yet amazing quality?
    What is the best tool and codec to achieve a compression based on a file size?
    Is DivX better than XVid? And is "Multipass nth pass" is the way to configure the DivX for best results?
    I really feel we lack any guidance on these aspects and a huge of time is wasted every time I get to this stage when it should all be pretty standrad for me.
    I know I am asking a number of question but if someone is able to jot down the basics of the tool, codec and settings to achieve best quality (regardless of the time it takes to get to it) - I'd be very grateful!
    Merry Xmas and a Happy New year to all,

    I find your post somewhat confusing.
    These m2t are they converted?
    Run a file that you are using in Prmeiere through Media Info and post a screendump.

    What is the endproduct going to be? YouTube, DVD, media player or .....
