Password Protect Email on iPod touch?

Hi there,
Is there any way to password-protect your email account on an iPod touch? I know how to enable a password login for the entire device, but is there any way to have a password required to open just the email application?
Many thanks in advance for any help!

Welcome to the Forums!
No, there's not. Sorry
There's always the possibility that a 3d party developer will write something (i.e. an alternate email client). Also, the possibility that Apple will update that as part of the enterprise changes. But, to be honest, I don't see either as being very likely, since the ability to lock the whole thing is present already.
If your account allows webmail access, you could skip using Mail (delete the account), and just use Safari to access it, so you'd always have to enter the password.
Hope this helps...

Password protect iMessges on iPod Touch

I want to password protect iMessges on my desktop and iPod. I looked into file vault (for the desktop), but it locks up the entire disk. I just want to lock up the application. I went through iMessages very carefully and found nothing on this. Very surprising.

On the iPod all you can do is sign out of Messages and then set the Restriction that prevent changing accounts.
On the Mac you can use Parental Controls. You have to set up an account for another person and then use that account for all others but yourself.

My daughter forgot her password and now her ipod touch is disabled. When I connect it to itunes it does not come up on the screen as a device. What can I do to get her itouch working again?

My daughter forget her password and now her ipod touch is disabled. Red message says to connect to itunes. When I do connect to itunes, the device is not recognized and then a message comes on the screen that says it is locked and to enter the password to access it. I cannot access the password and since itunes does not recognize the device, it does not come up on the list on the left, i cannot reset it. What do I need to do so she can use her ipod touch again? Thanks

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

I verified my email but ipod touch says not verified, I go to redo and its says already verified but Itunes still shows it needs to be verified. I was in the process of creating a new Apple ID for my touch.

Please go to Settings>Itunes and App Store and log out of your Apple id and right back in again. See if this doesn't resolve this issue.

Is there or will there soon be the ability for iPad to password protect email app

Is there or will there soon be the ability for iPad to password protect email app? When I share my iPad with my kids, I have to simply trust they don't use my email. When will Apple program the standard email app to be password protected? This is very important for all I would think.

I bought a new ipod touch today and it connects to my wifi automatically... But I forgot my wifi password for my new iPod touch and I don't know how to find it in my old iPod?

You can usually find the wi-fi password on your router itself if you know the router's ID and password (not the wi-fi password). You can log into your router by putting its address (usually 192.168.1.1) into your browser's address window.

My daughter used a password to lock her ipod touch and she can't remember it. Is there a way to reset the password. Thank you for any assistance

My daughter used a password to lock her ipod touch and she cannot remember it. How do we unlock her ipod. Any assistance is wonderful

To circumvent an iPod with a forgotten passcode you would need to restore the iPod to factory settings. This will remove the software and data/content from your iPod as well.
To put your iPod/iPhone into recovery mode:
1. Make sure the iPod/iPhone is connected to a computer with iTunes installed on it.
2. Hold down the sleep/wake button(top button) and the home button at the same time until the iPod/iPhone screen goes black then shows the apple logo( usually 10-15 seconds).
3. Once the apple logo appears on the screen, let go of the sleep/wake button and keep holding the home button.
4. The ipod/iphone screen should show an itunes logo and usb cable if you were successful. A dialog box will appear in iTunes that states an iPod/iPhone in recovery mode has been detected if you are successful.
5. Click ok, then click the Restore button
After that you should be up and running in no time!
I hope that this is helpful.

You must not use it much.
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.

Trouble sending email from iPod Touch

I have My own Local ISP, I'm not having a problem from their end. I am having trouble sending my email from the outgoing mail server from my iPod Touch, I have it set up correctly.
What I wanted and tried to do is sync my composed and sent emails from my iPod Touch to my computer email Program (Apple). What I did was I plugged in my iPod Touch to my computer, clicked on "Devices" in iTunes, clicked on the Info. Tab and scrolled down to "Mail Accounts" and chose the "Sync Selected mail accounts": check box, Then I chose my ISP Pop account email check box, then chose the "Advance" section and checked all the check boxes: Contacts, Calendars, mail accounts, and Bookmarks, then I clicked on the Sync Button at the bottom. After I did this I tried sending an email from my iPod Touch, the email went to the out box and not to the sent section of my iPod Touch, my iPod suddenly stopped sending email and had little trouble getting email from my computer while my iPod Touch was "checking" its "email" with its little blue wheel spinning at the bottom of the mail iPod Touch screen, My computer email program (apple) would get the little Triangle next to the inbox. I had went Back to my iTunes, iPod Touch "Devices", Info Tab, and undid what I did and re hit the Sync Button again, I then had noticed that in the "Advance section" the "Mail Accounts" check box was un high lighted, I am not able to check it if I wanted to. Now sometimes I am able to get my email from my computer, I am able to send email from my computer email program (Apple).
Does any one have a solution and that can help solve this sticky problem? and help me refix this?
Thanks,
Trisha Foster.

Without having the stuff to hand - this is what I did. You need to make sure that your password and username are left blank in the settings for out going mail on your touch. this will be changed back if you let itunes sync email addresses on your computer. I had the same problem until I read somewhere that you needed these setting left blank.

Sending emails from ipod touch

I've never been able to send emails from the touch using the normal smtp server. Quick rundown. I have Time Warner. I use smtp-server.twcny.rr.com on my computer in the account settings, and have no problems sending emails. I use the same info on the touch, and I get the following error when I try to setup an acct:
The SMTP server "smtp-server.twcny.rr.com" does not support authentication. Please check your settings and try again. When I go into the settings on the touch, it shows "password" for authentication. theres got to be a way for me to be able to send emails via my IPT.

Hi,
Some ISPs will only allow a device to send emails from their server when its connecting to the Internet over their network.
If the iPod touch is connecting to the Internet over the cellular network, you will most likely have to enable an alternate outgoing mail server(one that can only send over the cellular network). This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1426 provides more details about enabling alternate SMTP servers.
You can avoid ISP related send mail issues by switching to another email provider, like MobileMe, Yahoo!, or Gmail.

Password protect Contacts on the touch

Is there anyway to prevent the edit of contacts so easily on the Touch?
Also can they be hidden or password protected?
Since I cant sync notes etc I use contact notes to store memos from my palm on the touch and I have a few passwords I would like to secure a little better

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions
At this time the only protection available is for you to set a passcode to be required after 1 minute of inactivity: Settings >General > Passcode Lock .
You can request future enhancements for the +iPod touch+ here:

My 7 year old has forgotten her password and now her ipod touch is locked and says connect to itunes. I have tried to connect however it will not connect because it is locked. How can I reset her password?

My seven year old daughter got an ipod touch a few months ago from her father. She has now forgotten her password and it has been tried too many times and so the ipod has been disabled. It now say connect to itunes. I have tried to do this with the USB cable and itunes on my computer. Unfortunately it will not work as it will not connect saying the device is locked and to enter the password.
This is not the computer that she previously connected to and she may not be able to get access to that computer. Is there a way for us to reset the password preferably without having to restore the ipod and lose everything she has on it?

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
