I have a passcode on my iPhone but ....

The iPhone is a great gadget with mobile phone, music, games and lots more features that make friends and family want to play with it.
But my iPhone also holds a lot of personal information; Notes, emails, SMS and so on.
How can I lock these casual users out of my personal stuff? How can I stop these casual users from using the internet if I don't want them to, or making calls for that matter.
I've seen an iPassword application but I don't have a MAC and I synchronise with MS Outlook.
BTW: I had the same issue with my previous Windows Mobile Palm Treo 750 but it wasn't as cool as the iPhone so everyone wasn't trying to grab it.
One solution would be to allow passwords on applications but that would be really tedious. A better solution would be to allow multiple passcodes for different levels of access. The simplest implementation would be to have 2 or three default ones or maybe allow the user to customise what applications each passcode can access. Just like a computer!

I figured that and I've sent a feedback.
The profiles need to be something set up in advance, not reconfiguring the phone when someone else wants to use it. Picture these scenarios:
- I'm driving and my daughter in the back seat asks if she can play games on my iPhone. I just want to be able to hand her the phone and tell her the passcode that will let her play games or listen to music and not makes calls, reconfigure my iPhone or see my personal data.
- A friend asks to use my phone. I'm happy to let him make a call but I don't want him to be able to see my personal data or access the internet with my iPhone.
Hopefully there is enough interest for Apple to do something.

Sync your iPhone to iTunes to copy the iTunes purchases to the computer.
Or iTunes prefs > Store.
Tick Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases then click the Cloud icon after the song names to download them.

TS4147 I have duplicate contacts on my iPhone, but there are no duplicates in ICloud or in Outlook. Can I just delete the iCloud account on my phone and then let it refresh my contacts?

I have duplicate contacts on my iPhone, but there are not duplicates in Outlook on my PC or in iCloud. Can I just remove my iCloud on my account and recreate it so that the contacts refresh?

Be sure that you don't have syncing turned on in iTunes, otherwise you'll get data from both iCloud and the iTunes connection.

The iPhone comes with a 1 year warranty.
This covers defects but not accidental damage.

Just got new ipohone 4s and used my wife's appleid to sync some apps. i now have my own appleid. i have logged in on my iphone but when i choose to update apps my wife's appleid is still there.

This is happening because there must be one or more apps on your phone that were purchased using your wife's Apple ID. Apps and their updates are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them, regardless of the ID you are currently using in Settings>Store. The only way to stop the prompt for your wife's ID would be to delete these apps from your phone.

Also, if you sync to the same computer/iTunes library use the manual method so only checked items sync to the device

Error 1015: This error is typically caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple. This error can also occur when an unauthorized modification of the iOS has occurred and you are now trying to restore to an authorized, default state.

Hello Janey,
It sounds like there is an issue with the audiobook you purchased from iTunes. I recommend following the steps in the following article to report this to the iTunes Store:

Click Report a Problem next to the item you are having an issue with.
From the Choose Problem dropdown menu, choose the appropriate issue.
Follow the onscreen instructions and—if prompted—type a description of the problem into the text field.
Click Submit to have your issue reviewed.

How do I place a link to a web site on my screen. I have done this on my iPhone, but don't remember how I did it. Now I want to do the same on my iPad. Thanks

How do I place a link to a web site on my iPad screen? I have done this on my iPhone, but I don't remember how I did it. Getting old I guess. Thanks.

In Safari (on the page that you want the link for) press the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it,select the 'Add To Home Screen' option, and then chose what you want to call it (as you can't change the name after it's saved).

TS3899 I have no mail on my iphone, but the usage shows 2.4GB. Why?

I have no mail on my iphone, but the usage shows 2.4GB. Why?

I'm guessing "the usage" means email usage that you found in Settings > General > Usage. If that is incorrect, the 2.4GB may well mean other stuff.
If correct, the 2.4GB may well include messages you have deleted, but are still on your iPhone.

HT4913 I have recently purchased a new iPhone, but my husband has the iTunes account on his email. We want to set up separate accounts however we want to share all of our music from iTunes. Is there a way to only share music only (not contacts, apps, etc)

I have iMessage on iPad and iPhone but text messages still won't appear on my iPad? I thought we were supposed to get text notifications on both devices?

Does anyone have the same problem? I want to get text notifications on my iPad like I do my iPhone but I do not. I have both iMessages turned on and have tried restarting both apps and resyncing to my computer

To get them on your iPad the sender will have to direct the message to your Apple ID and not your phone number.
