Is there a way to lock an app so no one else can get into it?

Is there any way to lock an app so no one else can get into it?

Not really.  You can hide an app in restrictions, but iPad is a single user device, so there is no real way to lock an active app from others if you let them use your iPad.

  • Is there a way to "lock" an app tab so that it will stay on a specific domain?

    I use our family computer in the living room. I have told them numerous times not to change the app tab because I use it everyday, and I don't want it going to some game site. Unfortunately, they don't care and do it anyway. Is there a way that I can "lock" the tab so that it stays on that specific domain? example: facebook.com

    Unfortunately these don't lock tab by domain, but only a current page :( I'm also looking for a solution to enable domain browsing on locked tab. It seems like logical behavior, so I'm really surprised I can't find anything how to achieve it.

  • Is there a way to lock individual apps on iOS6 iphone 4S?

    I don't want people going through my what's app, messages, photos, email.. if I lend the phone they have access to everything.
    I don't want to use restrictions, or lock the whole phone, rather the individual app I want to lock.
    Is there a way to do so without jailbreaking the phone?

    As long as your device is set up to sync with iTunes you can update the apps in iTunes and then sync to the device. If you select the Apps section of your iTunes libray you will see a button at the bottom-right to Check for Updates. Click that, update, and sync.

  • Is there a way to build an App with CS5.5 that can run in older iPods

    Hello
    Does anybody know if there is a way to build an app with flash CS5.5 that can run in older iPods?, just like with CS5?
    Each IPA I build with CS5.5 cannot be installed in my iPod 8GB with iOS 4.2 and before with CS5 I could install all the IPAs there and test.
    The lack of support to iPod 8GB would be limitating for the market and sales...
    Is there some setting to build IPA to older iPods?
    Thanks

    AIR 2.7 release notes:
    AIR runs on "iPodTouch 4th generation iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4iPad".
    But:
    AIR 2.7 runs on iPod Touch 3rd Generation, too - but only on the 32GB and 64GB models. The 8GB model is in fact only an older 2nd gen iPod Touch.
    We tested this and we even have some apps in the app store running on the iPod Touch 3rd gen.
    I posted about this, look here:

  • Is there any way to lock the HDMI display on one desktop?

    Hello!
    My Macbook Pro HDMI-connection to my TV works great -- the only thing I wasn't able to figure out is if it was possible to lock the HDMI display on one desktop. I use five different desktops (spaces) and I'm using extended desktop(s) for my HDMI, but every time I switch to another desktop, whatever I'm watching on my TV switches to the extended desktop for whatever space I just switched to, meaning that my TV switches to blank screens. Is there any way that, even if I continue switching through desktops on my computer, I can keep my HDMI locked on the extended space for "Desktop 1," for example?
    Hope that makes sense. Thanks!

    If you disable the "Change with buttons" setting, the buttons will still control the general volume (music, games, etc) but will NOT change the ringer or alarm sound settings (keyboard clicks also fall into this category but is not mentioned). This lets you use the volume up/down buttons to change the general volume level without changing the ringer and alarm volume levels...it keeps you from inadvertently turning down the ringer or alarm volume and missing calls and alarms.
    That being said, there's no way to totally disable the volume up/down buttons from doing something volume related.

  • Is there a way to lock the app tabs, so that it automaticly opens a new tab when I leave the site that the app tab is started on?

    I am wondering if it is possible to turn app tabs into basically a "live bookmark"

    the TabMixPlus extension has a feature for doing just this (and lots of other features i have come to use all the time, can't live w/o it)
    the option is on the very bottom of the Events preference panel -> New Tabs tab in the TabMixPlus options window (see pic)

  • I want to be able to see the history when my kids use the computer. Is there a way to lock private browsing from being used?

    I want to be able to see the history when my kids use the computer. Is there a way to lock private browsing so that my kids can not have this option?

    There is no way to reliably disable private browsing or keep a user from deleting history. Use a program such as netnanny to keep track of history and sites visited.

  • 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.

    If you turn OFF multi-taskng, your toddler won't be able to "swipe" between Apps.
    I don't know of any way to disable the "Home" button though.

  • 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.

    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

  • 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
