Does anyone know of an IPhone app to lock myself out of my phone for a certain period of time?

Does anyone know of an app I can use so that I can lock myself out of my phone for a specified time interval? There are times where my phone becomes a distraction and it would be easier to just lock myself out of it for 45 mins than to go to the trouble of putting it somewhere were I won't notice it and it will be too far away from me to just pick it up and start searching social media sites as procrastination.

It's called "SelfControl". It can be a little hard to learn to use but it's worth the effort.

  • Does anyone know of an iPad app that can lock the iPad after a period of months (i.e., 6 months)?

    Does anyone know of an iPad app that can lock the iPad after a period of months (i.e., 6 months)? I am looking to give ipads to contestant participants and need a way to automatically lock the device once the set duration (measured in days, weeks, months or years) is complete. Does anyone know of an iPad app that locks the device after a period longer than 24 hours (ike most parental control apps)??
    Thanks for any help!!

  • Does anyone know of a Podcasts app substitute?

    Does anyone know of an approriate app that I can use in place of Apple's Podcast app that WILL NOT require access Wifi or Celllar Data?
    When podcasts used to be part of the Music app, I LOVED listening to podcasts.  I actually became information junky as the sacrifice of all the music on my apple devices.  If I’m at home or away, I loved that I could seamlessly sync my podcats between my laptop and my apple devices.  If a podcast was deleted from one, it was removed from the rest post sync.  Also, I never used to sync all podcasts, only the ones that I had yet to listen.  If one of my podcast subscriptions had nothing to listen to, then that podcast’s album cover did not appear in my podcast list.  Why would they appear if there is nothing to listen to?  I could plop my iPhone into my car’s doc station and continue to comfortably listen to podcasts for drives of any length without EVER running into any issues.
    NOW, even if there is nothing to listen to, I still see the podcast’s album cover, which I HATE.  This fact makes it difficult to listen to podcasts while driving, especially in the evening.  I have to stare closely at my phone to see which album cover is accompanied by a number that implies that there are podcasts that have yet to be listened to.
    Also, I despise seeing the message, “Cellular Data is Turned Off for ‘Podcasts’ ”.  Why do need to be constantly reminded of what I already know?  I turned it off on purpose!  Imagine how annoying this becomes when I am in the middle of driving on the freeway and this message pop’s up, which effectively stops what I am currently listening to until I click a button to get rid of the message.  Safety first?  Hmmm...I guess not!
    Podcasts in the cloud?  If I already have the podcasts downloaded in iTunes, all that I want for this Podcast app is to respect my previously downloaded apps an only display what I wanted sync’d from iTunes.  I don’t like seeing podcasts “in the cloud”. This usually means that I am either playing something that I already deleted, unchecked or set as “played” with iTunes or I am streaming something that is already downloaded to iTunes.  I DO NOT want to waste my Wifi service streaming something that is already downloaded onto (or deleted from) iTunes.
    NEXT...Podcast Settings:  Why am I able to go to settings to change some settings, such as “Sync Subscriptions”, “Refresh Podcasts”, “Auto-Downloads”, “Episodes to Keep”, and “Use Cellular Data”, but I don’t have the ability to change “Sort Order”, and “Play Order”?  Most of my podcasts require that I listen to the oldest podcasts first, such as news articles or serial podcasts.  This, having go to each podcast individually to make those changes...what a WASTE of time!  Even worse is when  there is an update to the app and I have to go into the each podcast again to change things to how I want them to be...yet again!
    Sorry, this is long, but I am VERY passtionate about this. I LOVE listening to podcasts, but despise this Apple's Podcast app!  ARGH!  The only reason why I started using the Podcasts app is because IOS 7 removed this functionality from the Music app of my iPad Mini & iPhone. If the battery of my iPod Touch 4 wasn’t crap I would start using that again because it still has iOS 6.1.3, meaning the Music app still plays my beloved Podcasts. Sign...

    I'm sorry to hear that.
    I'm not affiliated w/ the developer, just a happy user that gave up fighting the apple podcast app a while ago.  I used to have a bunch of smart playlists in itunes for my podcasts, and come home every day and pathologically synced my phone as soon as I walked in the door, and again before I walked out the door in the morning.
    Since my wife was doing this too, we were fighting over who's turn it was to sync their phone.
    Since I've switched to Downcast, I no longer worry about syncing my phone to itunes at all.  I can go weeks between syncs.
    Setup a "playlist" in downcast (ex., "Commute") and add podcasts to that playlist.  Add another playlist ("walk" or "workout") and add different podcasts to that one. 
    Set podcast priorities on a per-feed basis (ex., high priority for some daily news feeds, medium priority for some favorite podcasts, lower priority for other stuff).  Downcast will play the things in the priority you specify, and within that priority, it will play in date order (oldest to newest).
    Allegedly, it will also sync your play status to other devices, although that is not a feature I currently use and can't vouch for.  It uses apple's iCloud APIs, so to some extent may be limited by what Apple's APIs can do.

  • Does anyone know anything about iPhones and/or iPads having barcode scanners for business purposes?

    Does anyone know anything about iPhones and/or iPads having barcode scanners for business purposes?  I am doing some research about the benefits of using a Q R Code type of system, but question which handheld sets would be more compatible for using that type of barcode.  Being a avid Apple supporter, I cannot seem to find very much research on this specific topic.
    Any thoughts?

    I have a QR reader on my iphone. Works just brill. I've used it to create business cards, with a boat load more information on it (Including my duty times, etc)
    Most of the QR readers in the App store are free, so give them a try. You can copy and paste the data just like normal text.
    What application for them did you have in mind?

  • Does anyone know when the iphone 5 will be out?

    does anyone know when the iphone 5 will be out?

    Sorry for the practical joke, but really, there are dozens if not hundreds of threads asking this question and the answer is always the same: No one knows exactly, and that's the way Apple wants it. Apple hasn't even announced that there is going to be an iPhone 5; it's all speculation and rumor for now.
    My best guess is that you'll see a new iPhone at the same time iOS 5 is released, which should be late September or early October. (Or not... Apple will only say, "Fall 2011 – nothing more specific.) But it might not be an iPhone 5; it could be a slightly modified iPhone 4, or nothing at all.

  • Does anyone know why my iphone keeps switching all of my alert tones and ringtones assigned to contacts? i restored it and it still keeps doing it and now when ever i get a txt or a phone call the tones just sound terrible. how do i fix this?

    Your only chance is setting it up as new device without using the latest backup afterwards, which you already did.
    If this does not work, you should get it serviced:

  • Does anyone know if my iphone 5s contents are backed up automatically within icloud.  Because i need to take back to factory setting and prob will lose everything on my phone

    If iCloud Backup is turned on in Settings->iCloud->Backup
    The iPhone will backup automatically, when its plugged in, locked, and connected to Wifi.
    So if you let it charge while connected to wifi recently for a few hours and did not use it, it probably backed up.
    If you can still access the iPhone, you can check the date of the last iCloud backup in Settings->iCloud->Backup

    As far as I know there aren't any, and I would be surprised if it was possible due to the design of iOS.

  • Does anyone know why my iphone 4s wont sync with my itunes

    Does anyone know why my iphone 4s wont sync with my itunes

    What year and model?
    I own a 2007 GL with an iPod adapter. My iPhone couldn't charge or play music through the adapter until the 2.1 update. After a complete new restore of my iPhone, the iPhone's music will play, however, as I expected it will not charge. Regarding BT through the MHI Puck, the iPhone will sync the Contacts & Call Lists, I now have full control through the steering wheel controls, and sound is much better than the 2.0.x FW. Through the 2.1 update, I effectively had reset all network and BT connections; be sure to reset all of your settings on the iPhone and re-pair it again, if you use a BT MHI Puck. And, be sure to wait a bit - the first pairing took about 3 minutes, the subsequent pairings are complete in about 20 seconds.
    Not available on this side of the pond (yet, AFAIK), MBZ has an iPhone 3G cradle adaptor for a lot of the newer MBZ vehicles (sadly, not the GL). Mercedes' part number is 204 820 23 51. The cradle plugs into the UHI connector (option 386). More at:
    http://www.emercedesbenz.com/Jun08/19001204_Mercedes_Benz_Hearts_The_iPod_New_Cradle_Allows_Further_Integration_Into_ The_VehicleArchitecture.html
    I'm waiting to see if someone comes up with an adapter to the existing system's iPod connector.

  • Does anyone know if there's any way to find out what files in my Library

         Does anyone know if there's any way to find out what files in my Library I can delete? I just cleaned off my HD onto a media drive as a back up so all my movies documents and photos are gone but my Library seems to be a huge space hog eating sixty gigs of space and I do have alot of apps but they don't take up a third of that space... Any ideas how I can figure out what is wasting all this space? I had Spring Cleaning once but found it to be rather confusing as to what was essential to the OS and what not...
    Thanks,
    Matt

    Get free OmniDisk Sweeper. I can't imagine how you could have sixty GB in that folder. My entire ~Library isn't even 1GB. Are you sure you're not talking about your entire Home folder?
    Can you post a screenshot of the contents of that folder.
    Check again. Are you sure you moved all the Movies etc. out? Could have left duplicates of everything behind when you did this.

    Lynne130,
    to figure out which users have administrative privileges, open the Users & Groups pane of System Preferences; each user other than the Guest User will be shown with a description of either “Admin” or “Standard”. It’s typical for the first user created on a Mac to be an administrative user.
