HT4865 What's the best way to protect student info and work saved to iCloud from their school iPads?

I'm doing some prep work for next year's implementation of iPads in some of the lower elementary classes at my school. I've read about the hack-ability of iCloud lately in the online articles. What was happening in Norway is exactly what could be happening in classrooms next year if certain security procedures aren't put in place. I would be grateful for any suggestions that you might have on how to beef up security for the students' work and info, and if you have any suggestions about the best ways to learn with iPads with children in grades K-4 (4-10 years old).

    When you export the videos out of iPhoto be sure to select Kind = Original.  Otherwise you'll just get an image file of the first frame of the video.

  • What is the best way to protect my info in case my iPad is stolen

    Ideas for the best way to protect my info I'd my iPad is stolen or lost?

    I also had my iPad stolen, and thats when other troubles started! I received an email on my PC stating that my iTunes password had been reset.  The thief had done this!  So I rang the Apple help line to ask what to do. they said just reset the password, and as the thief couldnt access my emails it would be okay,,the Apple emails also suggested this.   But that was the issue that stupid me hadnt realised!!! As the iPad was receiving my emails the the thief could easily reset the iTunes password , and download muic and videos on my credit card on iTunes!!         As happened to me.
    Apple does not warn you of this possibility, even when i spoke to their Help line. And searched their website for advice
           So, my advice is, Do Not store your email password on your iPad, and  maybe, do not leave your credit card details with iTunes? An irritation I know! If you have not done these things, then if your iPad is stolen then immediately change your email password, and stop your iTunes credit card.
         Probably iTunes need a safer way to change passwords, like an sms code to allow password changes, as relying on emails is not safe, as the thief will frequently be receiving those emails too!!!

  • What is the best way to protect it?

    I HATE getting scratches or any sort of cosmetical damage on my devices, I am getting my first MBP on Friday, and want to know what the best way to keep it like new is?
    It won't be leaving the house regularly for a while, but I do have a neoprene case which I think it will fit for travelling anyway.
    I have seen many people with cases on their Macs, I don't know what the proper name is for them, but they are like hard shells attached to the back of the lid, are these recommended? I have read about some heat issues with it.
    What is the best way to protect the screen? I don't ever touch it, so I don't think that will be a problem, but cleaning dust off etc.?
    Lastly, will the trackpad wear away? My laptop's trackpad has slightly faded from it being used a lot, are MBP's prone to this too? I will try to use a mouse as much as possible.
    Are there any other things I should know about? I read that the bottom can get scratched easily too? I would only use it on a flat surface, so something like my lap, so depending on how soft the metal is... It can't be that bad can it?
    Thanks!

    Wouldnt buy that, nope
    Hard cases protect the finish of your macbook, but they trap in heat, ....many here have spoken on same.
    A major part of a macbook pro, especially a RETINA PRO is dissipating heat from the alloy case, which this case prevents from happening.
    Yes, youre stopping all the scratch,.....and likewise keeping the Macbook from dissipating a lot of heat.
    When I said INCASE, I meant this:

  • What is the best way to protect my new Macbook Pro?

    I finally have a shinny new 13" Macbook Pro Rentina and I'm wondering what is the best way to protect it? I am considering either a hard case or a sleeve but which one is the best? This thing is worth more than my car and I can't afford for anything to happen to it! Hard case? Sleeve? Both?

    Congratulations on your MBPR! I had the exact same question when I bought mine. I ended up using a hard case and a sleeve. For the case I went with the Kuzy Hard Case and an Incase Deluxe Sleeve. Using a sleeve and case is great and I feel like my Macbook is very well protected and I am no longer scared of breaking it with this setup! Best of luck!

  • What are the best ways to protect your macbook?

    I have ordered my 1st ever Apple product, the White Macbook.
    I would like to know what are the best ways to keep it save and in top condition?
    Apple have given me this case as a good will gesture, so I won't be needing a case for it: http://store.apple.com/Apple/WebObjects/ukstore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=94689A4C&nplm=T J702
    But any solutions for stopping the discolouration (i hope this never occures on with my macbook) but any invisible stickers which I can put on the palm areas?
    Any tips?

    The new plastics really don't have the discoloration problem, so you don't actually need palm rest protection. Any dirt can be taken care of with a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. I use only a silicone keyboard cover by Carapace to protect my macbook. I type so much that the letters often wear off my keys, and this will prevent that, as well as dust entering through the keyboard or, God forbid, any spilled liquid. The macbook heat vents are in the back, so my macbook does not overheat with the keyboard cover in place.

  • What's the best way to protect my code?

    What's the best way to protect my code from people reading it? Do obfuscators work well? If so, which one is really good?

    Obfuscation helps but is not a complete solution.
    Here is an idea to consider. Take the binaries(*.class) of the files you wish to protect and encrypt them. This would require you to write a small utility...not too hard. When you want to use these classes you decrypt them and dynamically load them. You could make a custom classloader to handle the details if you want to get fancy. The security of your classes would rest on the quality of the encryption you choose. A scheme such as this would be tough to reverse engineer using available tools.

    Not going to happen the way you want it to.
    When you add a gift card balance to the Apple ID, it's available for the Apple ID.
    Probably best to create unique Apple ID's for each... this will also make things easier in the future as purchases are eternally tied to the Apple ID they were purchased with.

  • What is the best way to safeguard my files and pictures before I send off my MacBook Pro to get fixed?

    What is the best way to safeguard my files and pictures before I send off my MacBook Pro to get fixed? I am running Mavericks and use an AirPort Time Machine to back-up all my files.

    Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. You need at least two independent backups to be completely safe. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional—ask if you need guidance.
    If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you know how to restore to an empty drive.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
    Keeping your confidential data secure during hardware repair
    Apple also recommends that you deauthorize a device in the iTunes Store before having it serviced.
    *An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

    In the page I simply referenced the facescontext directly... no need for a custom servlet.
    public void createcookie() {
    FacesContext fc = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
    HttpServletResponse resp = (HttpServletResponse)fc.getExternalContext().getResponse();
    Cookie userCookie = new Cookie("cookiename", "cookievalue");
    userCookie.setMaxAge(-1);
    userCookie.setMaxAge(3600);
    resp.addCookie(userCookie);
    return null;
    public String readcookie() {
    FacesContext fc = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
    ExternalContext ec = fc.getExternalContext();
    Map cookiemap = ec.getRequestCookieMap();
    if (cookiemap != null) {
    Cookie cookie = (Cookie) cookiemap.get("cookievalue");
    return cookievalue;
    For reference I could not get getCookies() method of HttpServletRequest to work.. it would only return JSESSIONID.
