How does one prevent unathorized iPhone or iPad data sync

It has come to my attention that syncing an iPad or iPhone is relatively easy. So, here is my question, let's say my iPhone or iPad was stolen or maybe "barrowed" by someone and that person decides to sync the data from the iPhone or iPad to there Mac or PC laptops? Now all my information, such as contacts, notes, etc, contained in the iPhone or iPad is synced and transfered to the other persons computer. Even if my device was not stolen, if a person wanted to sync my important data form my iPhone or IPad is possible thus my data would be stolen. This type of data breech could happen at work, home, conventions, hotel rooms, etc... Yes, I know you can do remote wipe-out of data, assuming that you have noticed the thief or your device being "barrowed". So, is there a lock-out to prevent unathorized syncing of data from iPhone or iPad device? I was hoping for a setting that required an access code prior to syncing data, but no such setting exist. Before answering this question please read carefully what I am asking. Thanks.

A passcoded iPhone running iOS4 will not sync with a new computer until the passcode is entered into the phone. You do not need the erase function to be activated for the data to be protected.
I am looking for a way to prevent other accounts on the same mac from being able to sync with my iphone. It seems once you have authorized the iphone on a mac it allows all accounts to access the iphone through iTunes and iPhone Explorer.
Does anyone know how to remove the iPhone/Mac syncing permission once it has been granted?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    That's how it's supposed to work, you can't stop it. If this isn't what you want you should get yourself a POP based email account.

  • How does one prevent a column in a database from being visable to end users

    I have a password column I would like to hide by default from any one with query access. How does one do this?

    If you're on 10G you can use encryption.
    First create a wallet en create the master encryption key with:
    alter system set encryption key identified by "<secretpwd>";
    Then you can encrypt a column in a table with the command:
    alter table <tablename> modify <column> encrypt;
    If the wallet is open you can query the column. If the wallet is closed you cannot query the column ....

  • How does one prevent cursor from jumping to previous words, deleting words?

    A question for my daughter who has a macbook pro with an intel chip using system 10.4.11. On several different programs,e.g. word, gmail, her cursor arrow jumps from the word she is on, backwards, to the previous words, deleting words, phrases, and sentences along the way. What may be the cause? How may we prevent this? Thank you.

    Has ANYONE found a solution to this???? My MacBook Pro (purchased Sept 08) doesn't have the ignore accidental trackpad thing. I seriously doubt that it's my typing, since I've used 2 different IBM's, 3 different Gateways, 3 different PowerBooks, a MacBook, and an older MacBook Pro. No problem ever with any of them. Not even once.
    If I turn off the Tap to Click (and the two finger right mouse is REALLY HARD to give up) the problem goes away. Several threads give this as the solution. Just turn the trackpad tap on and off. This is a workaround NOT A SOLUTION!!!!!
    I've been reading on this for quite a while. "Genius" solutions like reinstalling the OS, etc. Not found one that actually works.
    Did I miss it???? Is it out there somewhere????

  • How can i get my iphone and ipad to sync

    My iPhone and iPad don't seem to sync the calendar information.  How can I fix this?

    Yes unless you sync the Calendars to on both devices to another common Calendar like Google calendar.
    If you have a Mac with less the Mavericks Calendar will sync to the Mac's Calendar app.

  • How does one prevent a folder's contents from being read while running in target disk mode?

    I want to prevent a folder's contents from being seen or used by a second computer that is connected to my iMac when it is running in the firewire
    target disk mode. Whenever I put my iMac into the Target Disk Mode all of its disk contents, for all users on its disk, can be seen and used by the second computer without needing any passwords.  Does anyone know of a simple way, short of using FileVault, for protecting folder contents when viewed while running in the target disk mode? I would like to protect the entire contents of my "Documents" folder from being viewed by anyone that connects to my iMac via the firewire target disk mode.

    Many users make a password protected Disk Image using Disk Utility to keep selected files protected. I have one such image myself that I keep on my Desktop containing passwords and such. I'm not sure if you could put the entire contents of your Documents folder into a secure disk image but you could certainly make one and put your most sensitive items in it within your Documents folder.
    I agree with you for not wanting to use FileVault. I've never used it myself and am very leery of it due to things I've read from other users.

  • From Photos for Mac, how does one delete imported iphone photo?

    IPhoto had this feature where when after it has imported all of my iPhone photos, it would ask me if I want to delete the imported photos from my iPhone.  Also, it has a button to delete all photos from my iPhone if I choose to.  Does anyone know if this very nice feature is still available in the new Photos for Mac?
    I really like this feature to clear all of my photos with one click, instead of having go thru one by one.

  • How does one strip out all Live Cycle data from a PDF and rebuild the form fields in Acrobat?

    Someone in a different department built a bunch of forms in Live Cycle. We now need to make minor edits to these forms but we all have Macs and can't use Live Cycle. Currently our only option to change a date and a name on each form  is to buy a new Windows workstation, buy a copy of Live Cycle and train someone for it.
    I understand the Live Cycle technology and Acrobat technology for forms are somehow different but there must be a way to just strip out all the Live Cycle form programming so that I just have the bare PDF with the text and layout.  Then make the text edits and rebuild the form fields in Acrobat.

    It depends on your PDF. Is the PDF a static XFA or a dynamic XFA?
    You can check to see if the PDF is static/dynamic by clicking File=>Save As, and it should say static or dynamic PDF as file type.
    iText will work with Static XFA forms created in LiveCycle. Dynamic XFA forms are not supported.
    You can also submit XML data to a server side script and parse the XML data using C# system.xml.xmlreader.
    Another tool that may speed the development of the project is:

  • How can one prevent iTunes overwriting personalised tagging on iTunes purchases?

    How does one prevent iTunes 11 overwriting custom tags on iTunes purchases? I have a very specific tagging scheme and I do not appreciate my tags being ovewritten by iTunes 11 back to those embedded at purchase causing disorganisation of my iTunes library and iPods
    (For example, I have different genre and sort artist fields that are more suited to my filing system.)

    Are my purchased songs automatically being added? How do I prevent them from being added?
    5502,
    You can do that from the iPad itself. 
    Go into your iPad and touch the Settings icon.  Then, from the left-hand list, choose "iTunes & App Store." 
    This will give you a section about "Automatic Downloads."  There you can enable or disable Music, Apps, and Updates.

    How does one sterilise an iPad to prevent the possibility of passing on infection; eg. Tummy bug?

    Wipe the screen and case with anti-bac surface wipes? Make sure they are safe to use on aluminium. Be careful around the ports and buttons. You don't want any liquid getting in there.

  • How does one continue to use Mail on the early MacBook Pro, Model 1,1, that is not upgradable to Lion?  I have been running iCloud on my iPhone (OS5) and iMac (Lion) along with the MacBook Pro (OS Version 10.6.8)

    How does one continue to use Mail on the early MacBook Pro, Model 1,1, that is not upgradable to Lion?  I have been running iCloud on my iPhone (OS5) and iMac (Lion) along with the MacBook Pro (OS Version 10.6.8) since November until now.  Mail will no longer download on the MacBook Pro and keeps asking for my password.

    Mail should still be usable with your machine - but you'll need to update the settings to conform to the requirements of your system. Check with your ISP (like ATT, etc.) for the settings that will work with your Mail. Once you've updated this, you should be able to email like before.
    For example, my ISP required that I go to Mail Preferences/Accounts and make sure the details conform to your email settings.
    I have no idea of what your ISP is or what the settings might be, but this is likely the source of the problem.

  • Itunes 11.1.5 will not sync new apps with iPhone 5 iOS 7.0.6 and gives grayed out "install" no message?  How does one work around this?

    Itunes 11.1.5 (MacBook Pro,OS 10.6.8) will not sync new apps with iPhone 5 iOS 7.0.6 and gives grayed out "install" no message?  How does one work around this?

    Just reboot your laptop... While its rebooting try to reboot your phone also by holding the home and power buttonn for 10-15 seconds...When your phone is turned off try to connect it to iTunes and it will recognize your phone in recovery mode.
    If you have the .ipsw file for iOS 7.0.6 saved in your desktop then in itunes press shift and click on Restore.
    Select the ipsw file and let it restore.
    If you dont have it downloaded then simply click on restore.
    I hope it works
    Cheers !

  • How does one add a personal recorded M4R file to the ring tones in the UK system for iPhone 3GS

    How does one add a personal recorded M4R file to the ring tones in the UK system for iPhone 3GS.
    I have tried all sorts of ways of adding my personal M4R file but can't find the place (within the UK versions of iTunes} to transfer this file so that I can select it as a ring tone.
    I've tried also changing to the US version of iTunes and still can't find a way of doing it, although I have heard that it can be done.

    You should be able to just drop it into the library within iTunes.

    Check out the video above for a lot good info. The ringtone must be less than 35 seconds.
