Is there a way to lock the screen?  Why did it copy all my iphone apps?

I really would like to lock the screen so it doesn't change position if I move it a little bit. Anybody know if this is possible?
Why the heck did it copy all of my Iphone apps onto itself even though I told it not too? Not too happy about that...
Otherwise I think it is absolutely amazing. The touch screen is very responsive. In fact, I think it is perfect.

There's a little switch above the volume buttons on the right side. Flip it and try turning the screen.

Not sure since we're not sure the processes you took to sync it. When its plugged into your computer and you are viewing it in iTunes you can go into the "Applications" tab and select which apps you want and don't want. On the main info page there is a checkbox that says sync apps automatically".

  • 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 keep the screen from lighting up every time an email comes in, but still be able to see the email on the lock screen when you press the home button?

    Is there a way to keep the screen from lighting up everytime an email comes in, but still be able to see the email on the lock screen when you press the home button?  This is killing my battery, but also is kinda the whole point of the notification center in my mind.

    This is something I've been wondering. I am a bit like you, I like being able to have a glance at emails or Facebook updates without having to log in, and I think it would be great to be able to turn off the notification switching the screen on, especially for emails as I do get a lot, and Facebook, but I somehow doubt it is possible.
    I am currently monitoring how much this eats up my battery charge. On a normal day, after an overnight charge, I would probably still have 30%-40% left when I leave work in the evening. Today, I was down to 48% by lunchtime, where I've usually got a good 60-70% left... Might have to turn email notifications off on lock screen until it's possible to have them appearing in the list without flashing me...

  • 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 too lock the iphone history on safari

    my history keeps getting erased and i dont know whos doing it i wanna know if theres a way to lock the clear history button

    No.
    Unless you or someone else using the phone is clearing the history, resting data, or restoring the phone, the Safari history doesn't get deleted. If someone else may be doing this, you can enable a restriction on Safari:
    Settings > General > Restrictions > Enable Restrictions > Safari > On

  • Is there any way to lock the iMessage settings?

    Is there any way to lock the Imessage setting on an Iphone so my Childred dont have access to my texts on my their Iphone?

    This means you and your children are sharing the same Apple ID for iMessage.
    You need to get your own Apple ID to be used for iMessage on your iPhone. You can continue using your existing Apple ID for iTunes store purchases.

  • 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.

  • I have a teenager that has learned how to delete his history, is there a way to lock the history to where I can monitor the sites he visits without setting up parental control program on the computer?

    I have a teenager that has learned how to delete his history, is there a way to lock the history to where I can monitor the sites he visits without setting up parental control program on the computer?

    Use security software or a router with a build-in password protected logging feature if you want to keep a record of visited websites.<br />
    You can't prevent people from deleting the history and other personal (private) data in Firefox and a log elsewhere will always work even if other browser would be used.

  • Is there a way to access the "Creative Cloud Clipboard" repository outside Adobe Line/Sketch Apps?

    Is there a way to access the "Creative Cloud Clipboard" repository outside Adobe Line/Sketch Apps?
    For instance via (macbookpro) web, local directory (CC desktop), or mobile web? As opposed to Utilizing the feature purely in Adobe line/sketch?
    I mean... I know i could just take screen shots... via the iPad's protocol. However, that would defeat the purpose of creative cloud.
    The point of accessing the creative cloud clipboard, is so that I can create Time-Lapse .GIF's of my drawings, Using the "timeline" feature (undo)....which is amazing feature btw.
    Honestly the solution for me... would be to have an option to export a .GIF (animated), .tiff sequence, or video file (m4a mov). I would say export options would be 1. File Size & Type (Context...) 2. Detail, # of Slides (How long is your timeline, what do you want to show, what level of detail?) 3. Share (Behance, Creative Cloud Files, MMS, iMessage, etc... 4. Open in... Photoshop, Aftereffects etc...
    I think this would be great for..tutorials, multi-media, prototyping (wireframes, character design, etc). So, i'm not saying this should be a heavy set...focal point of the application, after all an animation app all itself would be nice. However, I think a feature like an "interactive timeline" would push users to be even more creative, by hacking, creating ghetto rigged *** backwards ways of prototyping that...actually might be more convenient. This is the story Adobe is trying to tell, the story of process, whats in your head... in the moment. Thats why behance is integrated, because process & feedback + exposure are essential to developing as a creative, so Adobe has put together a great platform...for its users. So, yeah...Adobe.. here's your chance to gain a greater insight into creative process, and integrate it directly into the creative cloud platform. I think it would be huge for Ink & Slide , Behance, and Student-Teacher / Designer- Company relationship.
    "Share | Project Timeline "  "Intervals | # of images"   "Crop | Length (time)"   "Crop | Project Area (artboard?)"
    Yeah this question took a left turn...but hey.... either or.
    EDITS............
    ***You can copy images to creative cloud files....via the share function in ADOBE SKETCH... thats how I made the .gifs im going to attach.***
    ***However, in ADOBE LINE, if you try to copy multiple images of the same project, they do not receive unique filenames, thus replacing all images in the saved sequence****

    First, to answer your initial question - no there is no way to access the clipboard content outside of the apps at this time.
    The idea of exporting a timelapse is very interesting, and something we have been thinking about, but there are already some decent ways to do this. Check out this video of a drawing in Line created by Brian Yap Adobe Ink and Adobe Line Illustration - YouTube
    You can create this kind of video using several of the available apps that let you display your iPad screen on your computer using Airple. Some examples are Reflector http://www.airsquirrels.com/reflector/ and AirServer http://www.airserver.com/

    Is there a way to transfer the iTunes application to my PC using my iPhone? My PC has no means of connecting to the Internet and I do not wish to pay for Internet tethering for a one time use. I don't have the app on my computer and I simply wish to have it on there to actually be able to transfer my files.

  • Is there a way to lock the location of where iTunes is looking for music regardless of the itl file.  I am loading a remote itl file by default ever time but then it's looking for the music on a local drive instead of a network drive.

    So I have a number of PC's in the house that are dumping music into a central PC with a network shared drive.
    The music is dumped into the "automatically added to library" folder on the remote PC.  Itunes is always running in the background.
    When I open iTunes on my local PC a script retrieves the newest ITL file from the remote PC, then the script opens iTunes using the updated ITL file.
    This way I have a fresh copy of the remote library music every time.  The problem is the music location under advanced settings.  I can change it every time but I would like to make this as automatic as possible.  The question I guess is if there is a way to lock the music location or have it change via a script every time iTunes opens.

    You can't change the location of the media folder from a script, neither can you change which library file is opened. I assume your script simply copies the current master library into the normal location for the file on each client machine. Do you not get a file locked error? What about the other library files and the Album Artwork cache?
    Your scheme may work best if you use a common drive letter for your media folder and have it so the media folder is not inside the master library folder. E.g.
    Master library folder at X:\iTunes
    Master media folder at X:\iTunes Media
    Where all the computers see drive X: as the same object, be it the whole of that drive or a shared folder on it.
    If you have the typical arrangement (iTunes Media inside iTunes) then when you copy the library from X:\iTunes into C:\....\iTunes and start iTunes it will attempt to "correct" for the fact that you've apparently moved the library and reset the library folder to C:\....\iTunes\iTunes Media. It should still be able to find the media at the correct location, but if you accidentally load anything up from a client machine it will end up in a local folder.
    If you are not already familiar with it iTunes Folder Watch will be a useful tool for catching up with any additions made on the client computers. You should probably also ensure that each of the clients has the "Keep iTunes Media folder organized" option disabled.

  • Is there a way to get the screen saver on user "a" to use iphoto pictures from user "b"?

    Is there a way to have the iphoto screen saver use the photos from a different iphoto user?  My husband leaves his account open and he has only old photos when the screen saver kicks in.   I would like to have my photos be able to pop up on his screen saver.  I need to find them in the system preferences screen saver place, but have it access my iphotos and not only his.  How?  Also, I would like a better system on organizing my photos.. I have them all in events by year and it is difficult of often find favorite specfic photos.  Thank you. Melody

    In short, no. The whole point of different accounts is to keep your data separate from his, and your photos are your data.
    You could share a library? It can be a bit complex.
    You can use Fast-User switching to switch over to your account - takes a couple of seconds
    As to organising your Photos - iPhoto is a database and offers pretty much unlimited options for organising your pics, but it takes a bit of work to go beyond the basic and automatic.
    If you take the time to assign Places then you cn see all the photos in your Library based on where they were taken. (Of course, that's of limited use if they're all taken in your backyard ) Faces means you can sort the Library based on who's in the Photos.
    Beyond that, simple thigns like naming the Events will help - Xmas 11, Bobby's Wedding, Rome 2009 and so on. You can then search on those basic words in the search box.
    After that: Keywording. The following is a canned answer I use to describe my system. It may spark some ideas for you.
    I use Events simply as big buckets of Photos: Spring 08, July - Nov 06 are typical Events in my Library. I use keywords and Smart Albums extensively. I title the pics broadly.
    I keyword on a
    Who
    What
    Where basis (The When is in the photos's Exif metadata). I also rate the pics on a 1 - 5 star basis.
    Using this system I can find pretty much find any pic in my 40k library in a couple of seconds.
    So, for example, I have a batch of pics titled 'Seattle 08' and a  typical keywording might include: John, Anne, Landscape, mountain, trees, snow. With a rating included it's so very easy to find the best pics we took at Mount Rainier.
    File -> New Smart Album
    set it to 'All"
    title contains Seattle
    keyword is mountain
    keyword is snow
    rating is 5 stars
    Or, want a chronological album of John from birth to today?
    New Smart Album
    Keyword is John
    Set the View options to Sort By Date Ascending
    Want only the best pics?
    add Rating is greater than 4 stars
    The best thing about this system is that it's dynamic. If I add 50 more pics of John  to the Library tomorrow, as I keyword and rate them they are added to the Smart Album.
    In the end, organisation is about finding the pics. The point is to make locating that pic or batch of pics findable fast. This system works for me.

  • Is there any way to change the screen resolution in Front Row?

    Hi all,
    I've got a Mac Mini plugged in to my TV, and I want to be able to change the screen resolution depending on the content I'm watching (as some content is in 4:3 aspect ratio, some is in 16:9, and I'd prefer to have the picture filling the screen completely). Unfortunately, the TV doesn't have a "stretch" mode for making an 4:3 picture fit a 16:9 aspect ratio. If I know what I want to watch in advance, I can set the resolution accordingly using system prefs on the mac, but if I'm just sitting back choosing what to watch with the Apple Remote, it's annoying to have to leave front row, walk over to the computer and change resolution once I've decided what to watch, open system prefs, change resolution, re-launch Front Row and find what I wanted to watch again.
    So I was wondering if anyone had figured a way to allow the screen resolution to be switched from within the FrontRow UI. I've seen that people have written python based plug-ins such as PyeTV and Understudy that allow different types of content to be added to FrontRow, but I've not found any utility plug-ins such as what I'm looking for on the net (nor could I find SDK documentation on this API in the stuff that comes with XCode).
    I guess the other approach might be quick keys: has anyone had any success hooking up quick keys macros alongside front row in response to apple remote events? (seems too few events to be able to choose from, but I've never tried it, so I won't assume!) Or how about is there a way to trigger an AppleScript from within Front Row? And, of course, I'm very open to any other ideas you might have!
    Thanks very much in advance for any ideas on this.
    Andy
