Is there a way to use finger print to lock iPhone

The reports on the BBC lie about how easy the hack is.

Read this to see how simple that process is. It is orders of magnitude stronger then the passcode that is currently available on the other iPhones.

  • HT4113 Is there a way to unlock your phone using your apple ID if your screen is locked?

    I created a 4 digit password on my phone, locked the phone to make sure it worked, and typed it in....Wrong Password. Not exactly sure how that happened but I have since tried every combination I can think of (waiting 60 minutes apart of course). Apple support told me I need to restore to last backup but before I try that I was wondering if there was a way I can use my Apple ID to unlock it. I understand this is a security measure, but with all my info I should be able to unlock my phone so that I don't lose all of my data. Or at least have Apple unlock it for me:)

    I was wondering if there was a way I can use my Apple ID to unlock it.
    No.
    If you forgot your passcode, restore the phone from backup on the last computer it was synced with when the passcode was turned on... this will remove the passcode. If you do not have access to the last computer it was synced with, you will have to force it into recovery mode & restore as a new device.
    In your case, it sounds like you haven't done a backup since creating the passcode.  If true, you will have to force it into recovery mode & restore as a new device.

  • Is there a way too lock the iphone history on safari

    my history keeps getting erased and i dont know whos doing it i wanna know if theres a way to lock the clear history button

    No.
    Unless you or someone else using the phone is clearing the history, resting data, or restoring the phone, the Safari history doesn't get deleted. If someone else may be doing this, you can enable a restriction on Safari:
    Settings > General > Restrictions > Enable Restrictions > Safari > On

    No way of locking them in, but once you have your in and outs set, if you hit F it will favorite that area. Then whenever you want to go back to that clip just click the favorite icon on the clip and your in and outs will be set around the favorite section.

  • Is there a way to "unsync" your iPhone from one computer so you can sync it to a new one?

    I had connected my iphone to a family member's computer simply to upgrade my software, and now I have a new macbook pro and it wants to delete all of my apps that are on my phone and replace them with what was on it at the time that I did the upgrade.  I would like to get the info off of my mother's computer and simply be able to use it on the new computer.  Any info would be appreciated. 

    You can copy the iTunes folder from one computer to the other, that will transfer all of your phone settings as well.

    You used the data.  Verizon can not see what it was sued for.  However your phone can see whats apps used the data.  go to settings-data usage- there will be a place that says data usage cycle.  line the dates up with your cycle.  then there will be a bar graph below that   extend bother white bars one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right.  after those are extended below that will be a list of apps,  there should be one that used over 2 gb and that will show you what app used that data in her purse

  • Is there a way to lock the phone's touch screen during a phone call?

    I just purhased my iPhone and I noticed that during a phone call I may accidentally tap Mute or Speakerphone with my cheak, depending on which hand I hold the phone in. Also when I hand the phone over to someone they may accidentally tap a button, and in the worst scenerios they will accidentally end the call.
    Is there a way to lock the screen or something to prevent any of the above from occuring?

    Their currently isent a way to disable the buttons but what you can do is click the home button during a call after pressing loud speaker and that will separate you from the call options and take you to the home screen and on the top it will have say call active and you can click that to renter the call note the call will still be active but when you hold it next to your face the screen should temporally go dark. Steve jobs was the one who came up with when the top sensor is active the screen will go dark and disable on screen button pressing when it is press against your face

  • Is there a way of locking app folders in iphone?

    I have found a lot of app fro locking pictures and files, contacts, etc, Is there a way of locking down a folder that contains apps? Say i don't want someone opening my facebook app or other apps I have. Any help is appreciated.

    Unless the app has some sort of passcode written into it, no, you can't lock it. You can't lock folders.
    If you don't want someone using your Facebook app, you can log out of it.

  • Is there a way of locking a word document in ios mountain lion so that it cant be printed or changed?

    Is there a way of locking a word document in mountain lion so it cant be printed or changed?

    You can print because it's your document. Others shouldn't be able to. But then it's easy enough to unlock them altogether.
    Easiest is to get encryption software and just encrypt the document. Or create a small encrypted disc image with Disk Utility and store the document in the disc image.

    This may help: iOS: Understanding multitasking.
    If you turn OFF multi-taskng, your toddler won't be able to "swipe" between Apps.
    I don't know of any way to disable the "Home" button though.

  • Is there a way to lock an app so no one else can get into it?

    Is there any way to lock an app so no one else can get into it?

    Not really.  You can hide an app in restrictions, but iPad is a single user device, so there is no real way to lock an active app from others if you let them use your iPad.
