Is there a way to lock a specific app with a passcode?

Sometimes, when i lend my iPhone away for a few hours, that person would have complete access to my messages, whatsapp and so on. Is there any way (or app) that can lock specific apps?

No you can not. But you can diable all the installed apps, and keep only the default available.
For this do as follow:
Go to setting
General
Restrictions
Apps
Click on Don't allow apps.
(applicable for 6.1.3)
It is strange that after spending for the best phone in the market, we are begging for locking software! Apple is sleeping!
If any one knows the better way then post it.

This may help: iOS: Understanding multitasking.
If you turn OFF multi-taskng, your toddler won't be able to "swipe" between Apps.

Is there a way to lock selected file directories with password?

I'd like to prevent third party access to selected directories in my computer. So, I'd like to be able to lock selected directories with a password, like we can do for word/XL files. I do not prefer to create a new user for my notebook as the people who will be using my notebook needs to use it while I am logged in.

OS X has no such feature. However, you can encrypt the folder using Disk Utility, or create an empty encrypted container of a selected size, which will open as a mounted folder/disk when you try to access it via a password.

There may be other solutions, but it would be a third party application.

Is there a way to lock down IOS devices to a specific version of IOS?

We got bit pretty hard by the IOS 6.1/exchange 2010 thing but would like to keep Idevices around.
Trying to find options to protect againts IOS updates until the IT staff can test the new version throughly.
Is there a way to lock a device down to a specific IOS version where the user will not get update messages?
I have been checking out MDM companies and all they can do is label a non approved ios version device 'non-compliant' and kick it off the network if its not the correct IOS version.
I can straight block the new OS version from the server, but in the user base someone would accidentially update and then they are locked out.
Is anyone else dealing with the same issues?

You can restrict safari, which won't turn off Internet access, but will prevent browsing through safari. Note: without additional restrictions, other browsers could be installed from the app store if users have the apple ID password.
On the ipad itself, go to settings\general\restrictions and set safari to off.
You may also want to restrict 'installing apps' here to prevent the user from installing additional browsers.
These can also be configured via MDM if you need to do this on a lot of devices.

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

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 to down load specific, individual songs on my iphone 5 or ipad 2, through iTunes Match, rather than having to download the entire album in the Cloud?

Begin by tapping on the Settings app.
Scroll to the Store menu and tap that.
This is where you can manage your Automatic Download settings. You can control Music, Apps, and Books (if you have the iBooks app installed) here. Slide to On any of the kinds of files you want iCloud to automatically download to your device.

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.

There is no way to lock the built-in email app. You can remove the password from the Mail, Calendars, Contacts settings, but you'd have to readd and remove that every time, probably not very practical. There are third-party apps that have a login feature within the app, so one of those might work for you. Or you can just use a web interface to your email, if your provider offers that, though many web interfaces don't work very well with mobile web browsers.
Alternatively, if your students just use a single app at any given time, you can lock the iPad to that app via Guided Access:
