How do I put a passcode on movies to prevent kids from watching?

We have an iPad 2 for our son and we allow him to play spelling and math games on it. We do, however, have some movies on it that we occasionally let him watch. We would like to be able to put a passcode on the Movies app so he is not able to just launch movies whenever he has time with the iPad.
Is there any way to do this?
It would not be very convenient to remove the movies via sync and only put them on when we want him to watch them (and me may forget on that long road trip, and be stuck with out them).
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
~vK

Try settings, general, restrictions
remember the passcode because if you forget it you'll have to reset the device.
Then set your movie ratings down to the leve you want and see if htat prevents your child from accessing it
It won't lock out everything as far as I understand it, but can keep him from watching the ones you don't want hime to see.
As far as I know, there is no way to totally block out the movie app.

How do I put my wmv files to DVD so I can watch them?

Ok, how do I put my wmv files on DVD so I can watch them?
Would I have to convert it to an mpeg file ? If I do, what are good freeware software to use? Thanks

You could try the free ffmpegX (http://ffmpegx.com/index.html), which is a highly flexible video converter/encoder (and I believe does WMV as well)... it does require the installation of some UNIX components, however I think this is done through the self-installer.

Remember that you are moving mail over the internet, and you are uploading (slower). If the quantities are large you must use caution.
1. Copy, don't move, in the event of a failure the original will still exist, delete it later.
2. Limit copies to <500 emails
3. Single copy operations are more reliable than multiple.
Take your time.
Thanks, but impractical. Many of the folders have more than 500 emails. Total is about 2 GB (which I have free on iCloud btw)
I tried creating a folder "Archive" in my iCloud, then tried dragging one iMac folder into the new "iCloud > Archive" folder on my iMac. I got the error message:
Some items could not be created:

There is no facebook integration in iOS.

How do i put my pics back on my iphone 4s from my computer

backed up iphone to itunes and it took all my pics off. how do i put them back ?

Backing up does not remove pics.
You should be importing all pics taken with your iphone to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera. If you have failed to do this, then they may very well be gone.
You can try restoring from backup.

How to stop my Time Machine external hard drive preventing iMac from sleeping?

I have a late 2012 iMac, and have discovered that sometimes (I haven't noticed a pattern of when it doesn/doesn't happen) the computer will immediately wake up after I set it to Sleep (Apple Menu>Sleep). Through elimination I have found that it is the the USB 3.0 external hard drive I use as a Time Machine back-up that is the culprit; unplugging it then allows the computer to sleep. If I unplug it, then plug it back in later on, this normally solves the problem for a while, but not forever. This same Hard Drive didn't cause the wake problem on my previous '08 iMac.
A big issue is that when the machine immediately wakes from sleep, the display stays off (until I move the mouse) - this is good from a power saving point of view, but means I don't know if/when the machine is immediately waking from sleep (I have to listen to the fan when setting it to Sleep mode to hear if it has actually woken back up).
I've searched the forums, but can't find another poster with the same problem as myself. Can anyone advise a course for me to pursue to prevent this from happening?
Thanks. Jamie

Hi Frank. Nope, I'm still having the same symptoms; the plugged in external drive (TIme Machine) will wake the machine up a couple of seconds after it winding down when put to into sleep mode. Ejecting the drive and then sleeping the machine works. After plugging it in again to do a Time machine backup, it will allow the computer to sleep soundly for the first few sessions (eg a few days of sleeping, waking, sleeping, waking, etc), but then it will then suddenly start preventing it from sleeping again after a while.
It seems I'm fortunate in my case that the display stays dark (or off?) when the machine has been woken from sleep, but this was actually preventing me from knowing the machine wasn't in fact asleep for quite some time; I only eventually cottoned on because there wasn't any delay when 'waking' my machine (which there normally is). I would then have to carefully listen to the spinning fans to know if in fact it had gone to sleep or not.
So, to summarise, unfortunately no, I haven't solved this yet. If anyone else has a solution, please let us know?
Also, I've noticed occasionally after waking that there is a relatively quiet 'crackle' sound (kind of electrical sounding) from the bottom-right area of the machine. This goes on every so often for about 30mins. I see this is also an issue with other people's late 2012 iMacs, but I've not seen if anyone has a solution to it?

How can I set password for email access to prevent other from reading my mails?

If i go to settings and erase my password that wont work. What can I do?

Either access it via web mail only where you'll have to enter user name and password every time, or put the passcode lock on your ipad itself, locking down the whole device

My macbook shuts off randomly, how do I know what's causing this and prevent it from happening again?

My macbook shuts off and I kept a journal for it because mine's got complications.
July 1, 2014 (Tuesday)
I spilled a cup of choclate milk on my keyboard, it was soaked! But my battery was drained so I know nothing had short out. So I turned it over and never tried to turn it on.
July 2
I went to the nearest apple center and asked them to clean it for me. (I knew it wasn't a good idea to clean it myself) They put it in a plastic bag but I asked them to open it as soon as possible so I know what parts are affected. They told me they'd take a picture of the inside for me and go back after an hour. Milk was still inside everywhere so I asked them to take it in.
July 8
I called to get an update on my mac and they said it wasn't economically practical to repair it because they recommended a full system replacement. I got depressed and accepted my Mac's fate. But what's annoying is I put my mac in on July 2 and they only tried to clean it in July 5 which makes me think that was the reason my mac was irreparable.
July 9
I took my mac and tried to find another opinion but I showed the diagnostics from the apple store and they said they couldn't fix it. My parents were getting ready to buy a new one.
July 13
I realized that my mac didn't have charge when milk spilled on it so I tried to charge it and BOOM IT OPENED. They keyboards were sticky and it takes a moment before my computer reacts to the trackpad but it works! Even all the keys works! But it doesn't charge.
After lunch, it was workingp perfectly and my batteries were at 30% charge! I was really happy!
(in the interval my mac works perfectly, it stays for normal 7 hours when battery is charged fully)
However at July 19
There was no electricity for four days (A typhoon came in the Philippines) and my battery is about 7% so I went to the public market to get it charge while I wait for electricity. I charged it for about 3 hours and sideways because it was inside my backpack while it charged so noone will notice it. When I got home and opened my laptop, it shut off randomly after my desktop appeared after start up. So I was sad.
July 20
I found a solution online to use the option-shift-power button my mac opened and worked normally!
July 21
My computer was normal in the morning then in the afternoon it shut off again after I waked it up from sleep. Tried option-shift for about 3-5 times before it worked with varying intervals from 5-20 minutes each
July 22
I get nervous when I use it but it worked perfectly I was even able to edit with Final-cut pro and HD clips.
Wednesday
Worked perfectly in the morning but in the afternoon, after waking it up from sleep it won't turn on tried the option-shift then I tried resetting the SMC for about three times (my mac is a unibody) but it didn't turn on the whole evening.
Today Thursday morning July 24
I tried to reset SMC first thing in the morning after the thing won't turn on. After about an hour, I tried to turn my mac on normally and it opened. So what I did is to back up all my files. (It took the whole afternoon) and at night I ran diagnostics (D during start up) and no threats were found
Haven't been experiencing the trouble, as of the moment I'm writing this Jul 25, Friday (12:13 AM) HK time Philippines.
So what I'm asking here is what do I do to make sure this doesn't occur anymore. I probably written a very detailed log. So what else (diagnostics and other) should I do to prevent this from happening again. School starts in August and I will need my laptop to work perfectly to let me go through college with less burden. Thank you and I hope you reply. Any more questions about details on my Mac will be answered

Get a new computer. Consider switching to regular milk, or even a light fruit juice.

How can i put and see my movies in the ipad2?

I have movies of my own that i didn´t get through itunes and i cannot put them on the ipad, nor on itunes, just like the music i already have.
How can i do that?
i was told it was possible, that is why i bought it. If it is not possible, then the ipad is not interesting for me.
If it is possible, could someone help me on this?
Thank you.

Unlike the songs, you have to convert the movies to a format that the iPad can read - Handbrake is one program that will do it for you, but there are others.
Be aware that if you are talking about taking DVD's and putting them onto the iPad, that would require stripping the copyright encoding off it, which is illegal in many countries (even for legally purchased DVD's), and discussion of how to do this is not permitted on this forum.

Itunes could not connect to the ipod touch because it is locked with a passcode. How do I put the passcode in?

itunes could not connect to the ipod "ipod touch" because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the ipod before it can be used with itunes. How do you do this when the ipod shows the cord and itunes on the screen?

Place the iPod in Recovery mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes.

How do I put a passcode lock on my iPad 3?

I've searched videos on Youtube and other places and they all say that there is a passcode lock option under the general category in settings. I seem to have no such option. Does anyone know what the problem is?

I wish I could give you a good answer for that question. It could just be an honest mistake, and there is the possibility that I am totally wrong about this. But like I said, I know that I have been in other discussions with users that were missing Restrictions and the Passcode Lock in the settings. I could swear that the one user followed up after going back to the store and confirmed that he had indeed purchased a demo.
You have several options here. You could restore the device and see if the settings come back. That's a bit drastic but its a possibility to try.
You could reset all settings and see if the settings return. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.
Finally, you could take the iPad back to the store and drop it in their laps and ask them what's up with the iPad. There is something amiss and maybe they can straighten it out for you. If they can't, I would ask for a refund or a replacement.
