Is there a way to password protect the email accounts in my ipad?
I have private info in the emails, and sometimes i lend the ipad to my kids so they can play games or to someone to look at something with it.
I dont want them to be able to read my emails.
Is there a way to protect the emails account with a password?
I downloaded the ios 6Not directly no - there is this work-around which should still work on iOS 6, or you could see if any of the third-party email apps in the app store support a password, or just access your account via Safari (you can create a homescreen shortcut for your account's login page)

I changed from iPhone 4s to iphone 5s. While doing the set up, I also renamed my Apple ID. However, allowed the old Id to be an alternate. However, now my iphone refuses to accept the password - neither the new one or the old one. What do I do?

I am at my wits end. The migration assistant created a new profile (I didnt konw that it would do this) and now I can't get into that profile with all the stuff from my old PC.
I have tried changing password via the main account, but to no avail. I have researched issues with Keychain, but all it tells me to do is change the login password - that doesnt work either - I cant get to all my files.Migraine Assistant it's called.
Delete the account from the main one, create a new account and transfer files manually via a regular FAT external drive you pickup at any office or computer store, Mac's can read it. -
How do I delete an iCloud account from my iPad that I no longer know the password for and have no access to the email account to change it?
You will need the password. If you can't get it reset via http://iforgot.apple.com (if you remember the answers to the account's security questions then you should be able to reset it via them) then try contacting Support in your country, they should be able to reset it.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT569
If your country isn't on that page then try this form and explain and see what they reply with : https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html -
I have old email address's I used for iTune music purchases and cannot change password on several old accounts. Now some of the music I purchased I can not download and authorize it on my device. What can I do password security does not match my birthdate on two of the accounts. Apple can not send me email with a password authorization on several current accounts that I have with them. How can I contact Apple with this annoying problem I can not fix.
settings - app/iTunes store - sign out and sign back in with your new id.
Note - if your older apps needs an update it will use your old apple id and password, as Apps are tied to the apple id that was used to purchase it.
You can't merge apple id. -
I’m giving my ipad to my sister and I had the icloud account changed. I have added new ID and deleted the old one. However when updating and downloading apps, it still asks for password to the previous account. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks very much!
Maybe you should set it up as new device again:

Apps are tied to the Apple ID they were bought with and can not be shared with other devices that have a different Apple ID. -

Can I password protect my email accounts on my iPhone?
I would like to know if there is a way to password protect my email accounts so if someone is using my phone for games etc they cant look at my emails?
The ability to password protect email accounts in the Mail app isn't currently possible (apart from going into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and removing/adding the password) as the iPad is essentially a single user device. Using a browser is an alternative (and if your family have accounts with different providers you add bookmark shortcuts to your home screen), and you could also try providing feedback to Apple http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

Password protecting separate email accounts on one ipad
Is it possible to password protect separate email accounts on the same ipad?
Nothing that I know of will disallow deleting apps. I looked at the Restrictions Settings and nothing is there about prevent deletion of items. You can also enable a Passcode that requires you to enter a four digit code to unlock and use your iPad. The downside is that you have to enter the passcode when you want to use your iPad.

I am unable to share photos from the Iphoto program because I don't know the password for the SMTP account. How can I either retrieve or change that password? Or is it one I already should know?
Have you set the general preferences in iPhoto to email using iPhoto? Then change it to email using "Mail". This way iPhoto will use your regular Mail account.

My boyfriend knew my apple id and my password and when we broke up he changed it and he changed my alternate e-mail address so i cannot restore it. The problem is that my iPhone activation is linked to iCloud. What can i do? I have old password and old alternate e-mail.
Take it and its purchase receipt to a physical Apple Store and/or click here and contact Apple's Account Security team.

I have an email account causes the machine to hang up after being in use for a day. It only occurs on my Macbook Pro and only one particular account. The problem account works fine on my iMac and Windows Machines. I have been to the local Genius bar and through trial and error we have determined that Mail is working ok but somehow the account is causing the problem. I have used this account for years. Any ideas what is causing this?
No idea why, but one thing you may try if you have the time, is create a new user, and set up the problem mail account in the new user space. See if it causes your MBP to hang as well. That will tell you if it is something wrong with your main User, or something wrong with MBP.
Assuming this works, I'd nuke the problem account in your main user space, re-start, and reinititate the account and see if that helps.
Depening on how many email accounts you have setup, it may be necessary to nuke the whole Mail folder in your User/Library.... Hard way to get it to work, but just my idea. -
