Is there a way to 'lock' a folder of apps?

I have an autistic son and I would like to have a folder that would need a passcode to get into it. Is there any way to do that or something like it?? Thanks!!

Many other users feel the same way. Let Apple know how you feel as well.

Is there a way to lock the folder arrangement in Apple Mail?

My Mother-In-Law has Retinitis and is not able to see well. Every now and then she'll accidentally drag a folder into another in the Folder List.
Is there any way to lock the arrangement of the folders so she can't drop a folder into another, or into the trash?
I'm unable to find anything in the settings or menus.

Selecting a different email will change what is displayed. Tapping the Home button will take you back to the Home screens. Tapping the power button on the top of the iPad will put it to sleep. Those are pretty much your options.

Is there a way to make a folder of apps that are locked to a password

Hello,
I have a 4 year old that seems to be addicted to video games. I would like to make a folder of all the video game apps that is locked so that we can use them as a reward in a control kind of way. Right now he is able to sniff out the ipad anywhere we hide it. We would be happy to let him use the educational games but just want to lock up the more addicting games.
THank you

Sorry, but there is no way to lock specific apps, not unless the app itself has a password feature, something I've not seen in any games. If don't want your child playing those games, your only option is to remove them from the iPad and set the Restrictions to disallow installing of any other apps or making in-app purchases.
Regards.

TS1702 Is there a way to lock out or restore original settings on an iPad used in a school lab setting. We need something like the program cornerstone, which will allow the iPad to revert back to its original setup.

We setup iPads for a mobile lab and students change the settings or set up a pass code on the iPad. Is there a way to lock the settings folder or an app to revert any changes back to the original set up like the program cornerstone (for a pc)?

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 any way to lock the history, i want to see what my children have been looking at

is there any way to lock the history, my kids are deleting the history so i can't see where they've been

I have 15,000 songs and I have relocated them many times. You can right click/show in finder/explorer on a song in your itunes library to find out where they are (if you don't know). Go to their source folder and move them to an external HD manually. Then I suggest clearing all songs out of your itunes library (control - delete, or command - delete on a mac)(make sure you click "keep files" if it asks). Then dragging everything back in from the new location on the external HD. Just note you'll have to have that external hooked up any time you want to listen to your music.

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 to download a folder or all the contents of a folder?

Is there a way to download a folder or all the contents in a folder? I uploaded all the photos into my Creative Cloud but now I am out of the office and working on another computer so I need all those images so I can create a DVD Slide show for A&M. I need all the images, over 100 of them. Is there a way I can download this entire folder or at least all the images in the folder at one time? All I can find for download is to download each image separately one at a time. I can't even select them all and say download every image selected. I don't want to sit here for hours downloading one image at a time, that's just ridiculous.
Help Please!

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.

Is there a way to lock my MAC so it can't be opened without a special password?

Choose the apple menu, apple in the upper left corner, then System Preferences > Users and Groups icon, for the admin account that you should be in, add a password if there is none, then under the left panel, click the + to add accounts. Choose Standard and enter a user name for yourself, different from the admin name, type a password in the password box. Click create user.
Add as many user accounts as you want, each with a separate password.

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

Not with the most common email systems - webmail, POP, SMTP or IMAP.
The only email system I know of that can prevent forwarding (or copying or printing) is Lotus Notes (now called IBM Notes). I believe it can technically be done within an MS Exchange environment, but I have never actually seen it implemented in one.

Is There A Way To LOCK Items To The Dock (to prevent accidental drag off)

Is there a way to lock items to the dock to prevent accidentally dragging them off? Every now and then, I'll accidentally drag something I just meant to click (really, I click too hard while moving my mouse) and I'll see a POOF as the icon disappears... which means I have to dig for it in the finder and replace it. D'oh!

run the following terminal command
defaults write com.apple.dock contents-immutable -bool true; killall Dock
to unlock it change true to false in the command.
