Locking only a few apps?

Is to lock only specific applications? Instead of locking the whole iPod touch, is it possible to only lock Mail, Contacts, and some apps store apps? I don't want to have to unlock the iPod every time I want to change songs, rewind 30s, change the volume (I have a 1Gen iPod)... But if i loose the iPod, I don't want who ever found it to see my contacts, send email as me ...

Thank you the the hint, the double-tap of the home button is going to be really useful. I wish I had known that for a while. The controls don't show the back 30s, but it will help a lot. Is there a way I can suggest the half-lock setup to Apple? Basically, have the full lock, but also setup a half-lock where you can configure a list of applications that are locked instead of the whole iPod. The iPod touch behave as if it is unlock until you try to use one of apps on the list at which time the lock/unlock screen shows up.

    What model iPod do you have? If yo have a 2G iPod. many developers when they updated their apps to support iOS 5 and 6 dropped compatibility for iOS 4.2.1 and earlier.

  • "Use cellular data for" is only showing a few apps

    Hello,
    I just got a new 5S.  I have installed and used maybe 15 or so apps, but when I go to
    Settings -> Cellular -> "Use cellular data for"
    it only shows 5 apps: Calendar, FaceTime, Find iPhone, Passbook, & Skype.
    I would like to see all the apps so that I can control what is using cellular data.  When I read other posts online, it seems like this should show all apps.  Does anybody have any idea why I only see a few apps here or what I can do to display all apps?
    Thanks for any help!

    This troubleshooting guide helped me. Had to try up to step 7...

  • After updating my iPad mini to iOS 6.2 iTunes decided to wipe everything off and seem to take my account back into the past as all music, apps, videos was gone! Only a few songs where left that I have never seem before? How do I get my liabary back?

    Today I got a iPad mini but after updating it my pc and iTunes decided to clear my whole iTunes library including manual downloads as well as purchased items (apps, music etc) it seems iTunes has gone back in time as there are only a few songs on my iTunes which are really old ones of mine. How do I get my current iTunes library back? Thanks. 

    Slone,
    I finally decided to turn this annoyance into an opportunity.  After a lot of experimenting I found that my iPad was just fine under 7.1 if I simply restored it as new.  I have a lot of time on my hands and I had 1424 apps on my iPad!  This is why every attempt to restore took so long.
    I decided to restore as new, spend a day restoring the apps I really used.  Doing so gave me a quick iPad with only bout a quarter of the storage used.
    Granted it was a pain in the arse, but I wrote it off as in the old days when you had to do this with windows 95 just to keep a stable system.
    I DO have some data in a few files of the now unused backup but a quick google search finds a couple Mac programs out there that will allow you go extract audio recordings, app data files etc. from the backup.  I'll do that someday if I even miss the files I've probably forgotten that are there.
    Anyway, there was nothing wrong with my hardware.  I think there were just some troublesome setup items that 7.1 didn't like.  Once set up as new, the ipad was fine.
    Good luck!

  • Why can i still play my game on my ipad eventhough i only downloaded few kb's of the app?

    Why can i still play my game on my ipad eventhough i only downloaded few kb's of the app?
    I downlaod the app on my pc via itunes, and the i plug my ipad into the charger, then it auto-sync.
    But then i noticed that the game icon appears on my screen. So i clicked it and end up playing it for few hours, eventhough i only downloaded few kb's of the game. I'm still in my confusion. Does it have anything to do with the icloud?

    It is from Zynga, and it's called Castleville Legends. It says it's downloaded in my itunes, but it does nothing when I click on it. I have a Toshiba Notebook, does that make a difference? Do really need an "I" Pad ONLY?

  • App to "lock" only a specific home page?

    On the ipad (or even iphone), does anyone know of a way to "lock" only one of my home screens?  I have a 4 yr old son and would love to be able to have just a screen of his apps, so he can't have access to all my stuff and accidently delete / move things.  Also, this would be a great way to be able to "share" an ipad with others, without them having access to your personal stuff.
    THANKS!

    To the best of my knowledge, you cant' do that. The closest you can come is under settings and restrictions and you can lock out the ability to delete apps, etc.
    If an app is age restricted you can lock some of those down (for example the dexter app is 17+ but I believe I can lock it out if I wanted to, I'd have to enter a passcode to access it)
    As far as I know the restrictions is the only real 'net nanny' for the iPad.
    At its most basic, the iPad is designed to be a single user device, so there's no real accommodation for multiple accounts and multiple levels of access

  • HT5509 is there a way to lock into a certain few apps?

    I am looking for a way to enable my students to have a choice betweena few apps, but not have free reign over the whole iPad. I am willing to try any suggestions.

    One way to achieve this would be to slim-down the installed Apps on those iPads to just the Apps you are interested in and place restrictions on Installing Apps, Deleting Apps, iTunes, Safari, etc.
    You might also want to look at the Apple Configurator.

  • Images burn into the screen after being there for only a few minutes?

    What's wrong with my mac if images burn into the screen after being there for only a few minutes?
    I can have an icon, like a folder or something, on my desktop for only a few minutes and then when I move it an image of it will be burned into the screen for another few minutes. Same thing happens with having a webpage open for a few minutes or word document. What part of my computer is malfunctioning and is Apple responsible for repairing it?

    Hi,
    Does it happen on all desktops applications as well as Modern UI Apps? Since this issue only happened recently, I suspect a newly-installed third party program causes this issue, please check these programs if possible.
    We can also boot into clean boot mode, test the issue.

  • Only a few of rows in the table are indexed without an error message

    When I executed the sql command:"create index ... indextype is ctxsys.context...",
    only a few of rows were indexed.
    The number of rows returned from query clause "select * from table where contains(field,'keyword') " is much less than that returned from "select * from table where field like '%keyword%'",though its speed is very fast.
    I checked the I table,the indexed words was few.The create index command ends in 3 mins on a table with more than 2 millions rows.
    The language setting is Chinese.
    The documentations about the intermedia text services on chinese languages is difficult to find.Can someone give me some or help me to solve this problem?
    Thanks in advance!

    I get the same thing in Mac OSX 10.7.3.  When I control-click on a preview and select 'open in camera raw' I get a dialog that says it's not enabled and requires a qualifying app to have been launched first:
    I've launched bridge and photoshop and if I open an app from the mini-bridge within photoshop, camera raw is launched.

    Hi just wanted to let you know I solved most of my XP problems with my new IPOD. It won't recognise the IPOD or driver and froze and locked up and then the battery died. After hours of trying different things here is what I did. I completly closed computer down. Waited 15 minutes turned on and reloaded everything. I put the usb cable in but not hooked up to IPOD. I turned off Mcaffee (all of it). After my computer came on. I then went and closed everything I didn't need in the bottom toolbar. (taskbar). I then reloaded the software and waited. Took forever to reload and I don't know why but whatever it worked but I DID NOT HOOK UP THE IPOD LIKE IT SAID! I instead shut down the computer after loading the software and waited 5 minutes and turned it back on. I again waited and shut of mcaffee. It loaded everything fine this time and said new hard ware and drivers detected. I plugged my IPOD in and YES I WAS UP AND RUNNING (THIS IS AFTER 6 HOURS OF PLAYING WITH OTHER THINGS!) I am able to load and play, burn, watch movies, see pictures and everything your suppose too! The only thing I see different than the instructions is I left my usb cable plugged in and when it said to eject the disk I didn't. I also didn't plug in the IPOD (5th Gen) and then I shut down waited and then restarted the computer. I hope this helps others because I know the feeling of wanting to return something you paid dearly for and worked hard at saving money to buy one and it doesn't work. My only thing I dislike about apple is they didn't supply a ac adapter for the IPOD and the instructions say to plug it up when trying to charge battery. DUHHHHHH, ya can't do that if ya don't have one and stores are closed and won' open until Monday! But at least I am up and running. I just hate having to plug up IPOD to computer daily to charge the battery which only last a half a day1

    Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the corrupt tracks from the music section of your iTunes library, close & then reopen iTunes, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
    While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unchecked. This seems to help with partial downloads...
    If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the "Report a problem" links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

  • Kiosk Mode - How to add a few app

    Hi, how to use this feature for a few of our apps? Currently, it works for one app only.
    This feature is very useful for enterprise. Please help.
    Thanks

    I believe Assigned Access mode only allows one app, but you can check on the TechNet forums. It is a system configuration facility so the folks there will know more about it.

  • Cellular data only for specific apps

    Is there a way by which i can enable cellular data only for specific apps? Lets suppose i want only mail and viber to run on cellular. So how do i enable cellular network only for viber and mail

    Hello all,
    I have been using the iPhone 4S for about a year and I never had problems untill a few days back. Since about a week, my 3G settings for applications installed automatically reset.
    Path >> iPhone screen >> Settings >> Mobile(Cellular) >> Use Mobile Data For >> "List of all apps installed"
    Against each application, you have an option to either enable / disable the mobile data usage:
    Eg:
    App Store          (swipe left to disable || swipe right to enable)
    Contacts          (swipe left to disable || swipe right to enable)
    Facebook          (swipe left to disable || swipe right to enable)
    Facetime          (swipe left to disable || swipe right to enable)
    Weather          (swipe left to disable || swipe right to enable)
    You Tube          (swipe left to disable || swipe right to enable)
    etc...
    Problem:
    If I don't want You Tube to use mobile data, I would normally swipe left to disable thus the application will not start / stream any music if its on 3G/4G. Since a few days, whenever I disable the option for any app... go back to the main screen and recheck the settings, I see its enabled again!
    The error I see when I start the app is:
    MOBILE DATA IS TURNED OFF FOR "YOU TUBE"
    You can turn on mobile data for this app in settings
    <Settings>     <OK>
    When I go back to settings... I see the option is enabled.
    Now I dont know what and how this happened all of a sudden. I have tried resetting the network settings for my iPhone, and it has not helped me.
    My iPhone is updated to OS 7.0.4 and all apps are updated.
    Anyone can help me on this error and how do I fix this?
    FYI... I have no problems connecting to WiFi at all!

  • Can i exchange the new ipad that i bought yesterday even if i used and downloaded a few apps?

    Can i exchange the new ipad that i bought yesterday even if i used and downloaded a few apps? I bought the 16g wifi only from apple store and wants to exchange it to 16g wifi with 3g.

    You have a 14 day return period for iPad bought from the Apple store so yes, you can take it back for a refund and buy the 3G version instead.
