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.

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 Desktop
I want to password protect iMessges on my desktop (and on my iPod too). 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 surpring.
it really is the wrong way of going about multi user osx and windows and the likes support many user profiles one can login to and get all the data, access and users settings from the user one login with
you can get various 3th party password and this and password on that but mostly they work poorly because it goes against how the system was made to work -
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 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 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.

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 betterHello 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 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.

You can restore from a backup if you have one from BEFORE you set the restrictions passcode.

Best case and protective film for iPod Touch.
I had to good sense to get a protective plastic film and case for my nano when i got it two years ago. Its still more or less immaculate so i am thinking i will get the same for the iPod touch.
Can anybody recommend a good protective case ?
If i apply a thin plastic protective film to the surface of my Touch, will it interfere with the touch screen functionality ?
If anybody can recommend a good protective film i would appreciate it.
Thanks.There's the InvisibleSHIELD Front Shield...

Why doesn't my password work on my iPod Touch? Help!
I always used my iPod touch. I probably havent touched it in a month or so though. I know my password because I was using it earlier today. When I tried to hook up my iPod to iTunes, a window came up that said I needed to enter the password on my iPod before it could sync to iTunes. I entered the password a few times before my iPod said it was disabled and I needed to connect it to iTunes before I could try my password again. I tired it again, and the "Wrong Password" message just kept coming up on my iPod. Did my iPod's password change automatically? Is there a different password when I need to sync to iTunes? Help?!
Connect in recovery mode and restore, you'll get the option to reset the passcode during this process:
