Is there any way to lock a Mac via iPhone or iPod touch?

Just wondering... Is there any free way to lock or logout a Mac using an iPhone or iPod touch? Maybe using an AppleScript and the Bluetooth built into both devices (when the iPod goes outside of the Mac's range, the computer could lock)? Any suggestions?

Is there any way for me to get a 5th generation ipod touch 16gb with both cameras?

i really wanna get an ipod touch 5th generation but i also want the forward and out facing cameras, and for me $200 is already kind of expensive for me, let alone $300, is there any way for me to get an ipod 5th gen without the extra $100?

Like JEM24 said, Certified Refurbished is an Apple item which has been used but been checked over and (if necessary) repaired.
Also, the iPod Touch 4th Generation is 3 years old and cannot get iOS 7 - meaning some apps can't run on it.
Once again, here is the certified refurbished link: http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/specialdeals/ipod/ipod_touch
Hope this helps!

HT1296 Is there any way I can transfer the music from my ipod touch to my computer without having to pay for it? Itunes worked fine with my ipod on my old laptop. I am not willing to risk losing all of the music on my ipod to update to the newest iOS.

I really don't want to lose all of the music I have on my ipod touch. It worked fine with my ipod and my old laptop but I got a new laptop and now it doesn't want to sync anything except purchases I made on the ipod and everything that was in the cloud. The rest of the music on my ipod is from old CDs and I am away from home. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could give me some advice. I also don't really want to pay for a download that moves the music into itunes so if anything is free and safe that would be great or if there is a way to do it manually. Again thanks to anyone who has advice to share.

You would have to purchase a 3rd party program ( not supported by Apple).
The ipod is not a storage/backup device.
Copy everything from the old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.

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 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.

This may help: iOS: Understanding multitasking.
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.

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.

I have an iphone and an ipad (which are connected by the same apple id) i broke the phone and sold it but i didnt get to factory reset it because it was broken, is there any way for me to wipe my iphone from my ipad?

i have an iphone and an ipad (which are connected by the same apple id) i broke the phone and sold it but i didnt get to factory reset it because it was broken, is there any way for me to wipe my iphone from my ipad?

Try this:
Open the "Find my iPhone" app on your iPad, fill in your AppleID and password at the start up screen, and you should see a list of all your devices and their current location, if connected to a Wi-Fi or mobile data network. Devices not connected will be shown as "offline". But you can still trap on the icon and hit "erase iPhone" in the right hand window.
If your iPhone is not listed, you did not activate this feature during the setup of the phone and it can't be erased remotely.
If the phone is listed, even as offline, tap on "erase" to send the erase command. The next time your device will be connected to any kind of network, the content will be erased.
