Is there anyway to lock my itouch?

MY itouch had been stolen,is there anyway to lock my itouch? I don't want the thief to use my itouch

No.
Change your iTunes (Apple ID) password along with any other password that was stored in the iPod.  If any passwords are associated with credit cards, contact the CC company and get your card replaced (with a new number).  If any passwords are associated with your bank or any savings institution, contact them also and discuss approprate action with them.
The "Find my..." function is pretty much useless if the device is in the hands of a thief.  All that is necessary is for the thief to connect to any computer with iTunes and "Restore as new."
The only real protection you have is with the personal information on the device rather than the physical device itself.  This requires action before the device is lost/stolen. A device as small as an iPod should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries.

  • Is there anyway to lock CSS rules?  What's happening in design view?

    Hi,
    I have no idea what I've  done, but I've accidentally  deleted some CSS rules.  Now my design view shows almost a random pattern, yet most things seem to still be working when I view it in a browser.
    So,
    Is there a way to lock CSS rules so that you don't accidentally loose them?  Is there a way to toggle them on and off?  Why does my design view suddenly look all whacked out?
    The jpg shows my design view and here is the link to the page.
    http://test.taffyproductions.com/reservations.htm

    You have an id set on one of the divs, but there is no rule for that ID selector:
    <div id="sidebar2-1"><img src="_images/sidebar2.jpg" alt="sidebar2" width="180" height="479" /></div>
    Change the id to sidebar2  and see what happens.  The page should fall back into place correctly.
    There is no way to 'lock' in styles, you just need to be careful on  editing the style rules as you go 
    You could always keep a backup copy of a stylesheet that works correctly and if you then want to play around with the rules, do so, but knowing that you have a backup copy if you need it.
    I'd also take a look at the naming convention you use for file names.  I'd not start a file name or folder with and underscore... some browsers may choke.  always better off starting a name with a letter, no characters, or numerals etc.,to be on the safe side.

  • Is there anyway to lock a Shared-List

    Background to this:
    I am deploying an Apex Reports Application. I have set up two lists.
    The first List is a list of all the reports that the company delivers.
    The second list is a list of reports that the client delivers.
    These lists are on separate pages, which are navigated to via TABS.
    I have locked all the pages that I have written.
    I want to prevent the client from accessing my list, but allow them access to their list.

    You can lock it to a particular app if you have iOS 6 installed, with a new 'Guided Access' accessibility function (Settings > General > Accessibillity > Guided Access)- from here :
    It allows a parent, teacher, or administrator to limit an iOS device to one app by disabling the Home button, as well as restrict touch input on certain areas of the screen
    I don't think that you can use to limit it to a particular screen of apps, just to be within one particular app.

  • Is there anyway to lock the numbers down on ipad?

    I am trying to find a way to keep the number pad locked down when typing on my ipad 2.  I need to do data entry using all numbers and the "next" button.

    I don't believe so. I've never seen a Numeric Lock nor equivalent on the iPad's keyboard.
    EDIT: I've found the following by Google Search but cannot verify that it does (or doesn't) work since I don't have access to my iPad. Report back with your findings.
    EDIT 2: Watching that video, it's totally unrelated to what you're trying to do. I'll put the blame as a bad description on their part.

  • I have footage that needs to be green screened. One of the cameras zoomed and panned, is there anyway to lock foreground and background so the motion is consistent

    I shot two cameras for green screen editing but one of the operators zoomed and panned so the key is good but when the camera zooms it looks like the subjects are floating, any idea how to synchronize the foreground to background

    I think you will need the camera tracker effect in AfterEffects, It would be best to ask in their forum.

  • HT1430 there is a lock icon on my Itouch 2nd gen, screen and i cant get rid of it i have restored it several times and restarted it several times also

    there is a lock icon on my Itouch 2nd gen, screen and i cant get rid of it i have restored it several times and restarted it several times also

    What you do mean a lock icon?
    On the whole screen or just in the status bar where it shows "iPod" and Time/Battery?
    If the icon's there everything's ok. The feature was removed in iOS 6, anyways, the icon should be only in the lock screen.

  • Touch screen stopped working. Is there anyway to force a full backup of the iPhone without typing in my passcode lock or is there anyway to force it to connect to a WiFi network so the phone can backup to iCloud??

    Hello all, I could use some help with my iPhone 4, I hope this is the best place to ask!
    The Problem:
    I want to do a full backup of my iphone to either itunes or to icloud. Unfortunately the iphone got wet and isn’t working properly. The phone turns on and still works, but the touch screen no longer works. I have a passcode lock on the phone so iTunes will not allow me to backup it up until I type in the passcode (which I cannot physically do). WiFi had been turned off before it got wet so it won’t connect to any known WiFi networks either to backup automatically to iCloud.
    What happened:
    I had been travelling for 6 months and went tubing on a river with my iphone in a dry bag. Unfortunately the dry bag failed and filled with water ruining my iphone.
    What I’d like to do:
    It’s an old phone and I was planning on buying a new iPhone anyway. I would love to do a full backup to either iCloud or to my computer so when I get a new iPhone I don’t lose anything. I’ve already connected it to my PC and downloaded all the photos and videos off the phone so at least I haven’t lost that, but I would like to be able to recover all the text messages, WhatsApp messages and notes I had created during my 6 months of travel.
    The last time it was backed up to my pc or to icloud was in April, so there are 6 months worth of very meaningful data I would love to keep to remind me of my travels!
    Is there anyway to force a full backup of the iPhone without typing in my passcode lock or is there anyway to force it to connect to a WiFi network so the phone can backup to iCloud??
    iTunes recognizes the phone just now and I tried upgrading the phone to iOS7 in the hopes that it would first backup and then upgrade. Unfortunately all that happened is the phone upgraded to iOS7, but it didn’t backup to iTunes. Now the phone is stuck at the iOS7 welcome screen and I can’t do anything else with it.
    Any ideas or tips would be welcome!
    NOTE: This is NOT a jailbroken iPhone.

    If there is no other way around this, is there anyway to completely wipe the phone then??
    The Apple store agreed to give me a new iPhone 4 as a warranty replacement for $150 (I travel a lot and I have a factory unlocked phone, so this is still worth it for me).  But before I trade it in, I would like to make sure all my data is backed up on the device first.
    When I try and restore the phone now on iTunes, it says I have to turn off Find My iPhone on the phone first before I can restore it.  Now since I can't use the screen I can't really do that.
    So how do I completely wipe the iPhone???
    Thanks!

  • Is there anyway to put a lock on iphoto?

    I want to put a password lock but only on my Iphoto- is there anyway to do this?

    I'm not entirely sure I understand what you want to do. Do you want to
    Make it so no one can start the iPhoto app without a password?  If so, I imagine you can put the app in an encrypted disk image. The photos can still be accessed in Finder, though.
    Make it so no one can access the iPhoto Library?  You could put the library in an encrypted disk image. I don't know if a sparse image or a predefined size would be best.  Maybe someone else can weigh in on that.
    Make it so no one can start iPhoto and no one can access the photos?  Put both in an encrypted disk image.
    I've not tried these things.  I would have a concern that software update might not find iPhoto if it isn't in the regular place.  Certainly you can put the library in an encrypted image but if someone tries to start up iPhoto they may generate a new blank library and you would have to reconnect to your old library.  An annoyance (especially if you aren't paying attention and you add photos to the wrong library) but not a killer.

    -If you established a rescue email address, there will be a link on the "Passwords & Security" page of id.apple.com.  Clicking the link will send the reset to your rescue email address (NOTE:  This is not the same address as your Apple ID email)
    -If there is no link on the page, then you didn't establish a rescue email address.  Contact AppleCare at 800.694.7466 (If you are in the US), and ask for account security.  You will need to answer some questions to verify your identity, AND you will need access to a computer to generate a temporary support pin.

  • My lock button broke is there anyway i can get a new iphone for free

    Is there anyway i can get a new iphone for free my lock button got jammed one day and its annoying dealing with it i haven't had my phone for a year either

    Take it in to Apple as only they can decide. If they decide it is a defect covered under the warranty, they will replace it.  If they determine it was caused by something you've done or an accident, then you will have to pay for an out of warranty replacement.  However, Apple will have to make that call, so take it so they can evaluate it.

  • Is there anyway to go about locking apps?

    I am looking for anyway of locking apps (like settings, for example) so that an end user must use a passcode to circumvent the system.
    This could be in any enterprise function device, Ipad/Iphone et all.

    There is no way to lock individual apps unless the app developer provided some sort of passcode within the app itself. Otherwise, you have only those controls available in the Restrictions settings, or of course the screenlock passcode.
    Regards.

  • I locked up my old phone because i couldnt remember the password. It says "connect to itunes".. is there anyway to unlock the phone?

    i locked My old phone trying the password too many times. I remember the password now, but it wont let me enter it anymore. is there anyway to fix this? or should i just throw the phone away?

    Connect to iTunes. Restore the phone as new to remove the passcode. Then you can restore to your latest backup to get your content back.

  • If I lost my iPhone and it's locked and the person that took it can't get in, is there any way I can recover this iPhone and is there anyway Apple can help?

    I lost my iPhone and its locked is there anyway that they can hook it up to there computer and get access? Also, Apple can help by using my Apple ID number, right?

    If there's a passcode on it(good for you!), then whoever stole it can only access your information if they can guess your passcode. However, they would likely get it disabled before guessing correctly, and be forced to Restore it. At that point, your information would be wiped off the device.
    And Apple can do nothing to help you, unfortunately. If you did, however, set up "Find My iPhone" before you lost it, then you can track the device. If not, then sorry - you're probably not getting your iPhone back.
