Password Protection App apple/3rd Party

Are ther any add on apps?

Third party applications cannot be installed onto the iPhone at the present time.
A number of web-based games and applications formatted specifically for use on the iPhone have sprung up, including some "password vault"-type applications. I have serious reservations about putting my passwords on a "secure" website that I know nothing about.

Can Apple integrate password protected app groups in IOS?

I share my iPad with my children, and I have several apps on the iPad that I do not want my children tinkering with (i.e. Trulia, Faceboo, etc.). I think that password protected app groups would be an elegant work-around for device sharing.

Other than the few built-in apps included in the Restrictions, Apple has not provided any way to password-restrict the use of apps. Whether they could do so or not is not something anyone here can address. You can comment to Apple on the matter via their feedback page if you wish:

Competent Apple 3rd Party Service Providers?

My threads concerning this issue are so old they've been archived. Alittle background.
500mhz Pismo with 20 gb hd purchased new 11/2000.
HD actually caught fire 10/2003. Apple promptly repaired under warranty.
Replaced power supply (flying saucer) in 2006. Replaced batteries and maxed out the RAM in spring of 2007. Running 10.3.9 at the time.
10/2007: Pismo's video and audio vanish although hd continues to run. Video and audio return after reboot but this only works for a brief time. Since then, Pismo has visited 3 regional shops for 12 visits. Everything replaced and upgraded according to the shops; $1000 spent to date. Pismo worked very briefly on a handful of occassions but always failed in the same manner as described above or just plain didn't start up the vast majority of the time.
My question: Is there a secret Apple 'handshake' or 'password' I need to know to get this unit properly repaired? A special 'wink'? Do I need a commendation from an Isis high priestess?
The one competent, honest Apple 3rd party tech left the area years ago and the local company owned Apple Store refuses to work on a unit this old. My nephew is a Dell tech at the nashville, TN facility and has offered to take a look.
Any and all constructive comments appreciated.

eww,
Thanks for the response. The money hasn't been the issue here and you know it as we've gone around about this before. Two of the three shop I've never done business with before; third shop is local and had a dreadful rep years ago. I gave'em another shot as the techs bought the shop from the original owner - nothing changed except they now lack a showroom. I still recall the Police showing up on one occassion to quiten a 'disruptive' customer; one of many unfortunately.
My Apple experience got off to a rocky start until I was given a tip about a first rate Apple tech who worked for an electronic goods retail chain. He repaired both problematic Apple computers the first time and they remained problem free. Unfortunately, the tech returned to Maryland the following year I was told.
*My point is Apple appears to have no oversight function regarding whoever chooses to hang the Apple shingle over their door*. I do appreciate the tip regarding PowerBook Parts. Meanwhile, I'll let my inhouse (family) Dell Tech take a look at it.

Using stock apple apps, instead 3rd party software

I was wondering what would be the best option for cleaning application cache, memory and doing regular computer maintenance, without installing 3rd party software, or if there is any?
can CleanMyMac or DiskDoctor functions substituted with apple stock apps ?
thanks

How to maintain a Mac
1. Make redundant backups, keeping at least one off site at all times. One backup is not enough. Don’t back up your backups; all should be made directly from the original data. Don’t rely completely on any single backup method, such as Time Machine. If you get an indication that a backup has failed, don't ignore it.
2. Keep your software up to date. In the App Store or Software Update preference pane (depending on the OS version), you can configure automatic notifications of updates to OS X and other Mac App Store products. Some third-party applications from other sources have a similar feature, if you don’t mind letting them phone home. Otherwise you have to check yourself on a regular basis.
Keeping up to date is especially important for complex software that modifies the operating system, such as device drivers. Before installing any Apple update, you must check that all such modifications that you use are compatible. Incompatibility with third-party software is by far the most common cause of trouble with system updates.
3. Don't install crapware, such as “themes,” "haxies," “add-ons,” “toolbars,” “enhancers," “optimizers,” “accelerators,” "boosters," “extenders,” “cleaners,” "doctors," "tune-ups," “defragmenters,” “firewalls,” "barriers," “guardians,” “defenders,” “protectors,” most “plugins,” commercial "virus scanners,” "disk tools," or "utilities." With very few exceptions, such stuff is useless or worse than useless. Above all, avoid any software that purports to change the look and feel of the user interface.
It's not much of an exaggeration to say that the whole "utility" software industry for the Mac is a fraud on consumers. The most extreme examples are the "CleanMyMac" and “MacKeeper” scams, but there are many others.
As a rule, the only software you should install is that which directly enables you to do the things you use a computer for, and doesn't change the way other software works.
Safari extensions, and perhaps the equivalent for other web browsers, are a partial exception to the above rule. Most are safe, and they're easy to get rid of if they don't work. Some may cause the browser to crash or otherwise malfunction. Some are malicious. Use with caution, and install only well-known extensions from relatively trustworthy sources, such as the Safari Extensions Gallery.
Never install any third-party software unless you know how to uninstall it. Otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve. Do not rely on "utilities" such as "AppCleaner" and the like that purport to remove software.
4. Don't install bad, conflicting, or unnecessary fonts. Whenever you install new fonts, use the validation feature of the built-in Font Book application to make sure the fonts aren't defective and don't conflict with each other or with others that you already have. See the built-in help and this support article for instructions. Deactivate or remove fonts that you don't really need to speed up application launching.
5. Avoid malware. Malware is malicious software that circulates on the Internet. This kind of attack on OS X was once so rare that it was hardly a concern, but malware is now increasingly common, and increasingly dangerous.
There is some built-in protection against downloading malware, but you can’t rely on it — the attackers are always at least one day ahead of the defense. You can’t rely on third-party protection either. What you can rely on is common-sense awareness — not paranoia, which only makes you more vulnerable.
Never install software from an untrustworthy or unknown source. If in doubt, do some research. Any website that prompts you to install a “codec” or “plugin” that comes from the same site, or an unknown site, is untrustworthy. Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must come directly from the developer's website. No intermediary is acceptable, and don’t trust links unless you know how to parse them. Any file that is automatically downloaded from the web, without your having requested it, should go straight into the Trash. A web page that tells you that your computer has a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with it, is a scam.
In OS X 10.7.5 or later, downloaded applications and Installer packages that have not been digitally signed by a developer registered with Apple are blocked from loading by default. The block can be overridden, but think carefully before you do so.
Because of recurring security issues in Java, it’s best to disable it in your web browsers, if it’s installed. Few websites have Java content nowadays, so you won’t be missing much. This action is mandatory if you’re running any version of OS X older than 10.6.8 with the latest Java update. Note: Java has nothing to do with JavaScript, despite the similar names. Don't install Java unless you're sure you need it. Most people don't.
6. Don't fill up your boot volume. A common mistake is adding more and more large files to your home folder until you start to get warnings that you're out of space, which may be followed in short order by a boot failure. This is more prone to happen on the newer Macs that come with an internal SSD instead of the traditional hard drive. The drive can be very nearly full before you become aware of the problem.
While it's not true that you should or must keep any particular percentage of space free, you should monitor your storage use and make sure you're not in immediate danger of using it up. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of free space on the startup volume for normal operation.
If storage space is running low, use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the most space. Move seldom-used large files to secondary storage.
7. Relax, don’t do it. Besides the above, no routine maintenance is necessary or beneficial for the vast majority of users; specifically not “cleaning caches,” “zapping the PRAM,” "resetting the SMC," “rebuilding the directory,” "defragmenting the drive," “running periodic scripts,” “dumping logs,” "deleting temp files," “scanning for viruses,” "purging memory," "checking for bad blocks," "testing the hardware," or “repairing permissions.” Such measures are either completely pointless or are useful only for solving problems, not for prevention.
To use a Mac effectively, you have to free yourself from the Windows mindset that every computer needs regular downtime maintenance such as "defragging" and "registry cleaning." Those concepts do not apply to the Mac platform. A computing device should not be a focus of your attention. It should be an almost invisible tool by means of which you communicate, work, and play. If you want a machine that is always whining for your attention like a neurotic dog, use a PC.
The very height of futility is running an expensive third-party application called “Disk Warrior” when nothing is wrong, or even when something is wrong and you have backups, which you must have. Disk Warrior is a data-salvage tool, not a maintenance tool, and you will never need it if your backups are adequate. Don’t waste money on it or anything like it.

How to play previously DRM protected content in 3rd party iOS apps?

I have a collection of tracks which I purchased from iTunes around 2008, which have the iTunes DRM protection. I would like to play these tracks through 3rd party iOS applications. Specifically, the applications "NuVo Player", "Sonos", and "Ambify", although this seems to apply to all 3rd party music apps.
To remove the DRM from the files, I signed up for iTunes match. I enabled the service in iTunes, and let it scan my library. Once it was complete, I deleted the tracks which have DRM, and used the iTunes match service to re-download them. I used the Finder to inspect the new files, and verified that they are no longer protected. They are .m4a format, and are capable of being played by 3rd party applications in OS X.
I then removed the protected files from my phone, and manually re-synced the new files to my phone. Even after doing this, they are unplayable by 3rd party iOS apps. Unsurprisingly, syncing this .m4a file to a new device (which never had the protected version) allows it to play.
It seems that metadata of some kind may be retained on the iOS device. I suspect a full device restore would fix the problem, but I'm looking for a less intrusive solution.

I found that restoring defaults on the device, followed by a restore from backup, allows this track to play in 3rd party apps.

Apple Web apps versus 3rd party Web apps

There would appear to be some confusion regarding the use of Web apps on the iPhone; specifically, whether the iPhone warranty is voided if a Web app not currently offered on the Apple site at: http://www.apple.com/webapps/, is used on the iPhone. The issue came to light when a poster suggested using the iPhone Pixel Fix Web app (http://www.ebaspace.com/iphone-app/#_home), intended to resolve issues with stuck or dead pixels on the screen.
My understanding is that the use of any Web app that is not Apple approved automatically voids the iPhone warranty, no matter how innocuous it may seem or be. However, it may be that some users consider 3rd party Web apps, such as iPhone Pixel Fix, to be "allowed", as they run on locked/legal iPhones, and are not downloaded onto the phone.
As usual, I am happy to be corrected if I am wrong. May I have your thoughts, advice etc.?
Cheers.

jia10,
Web apps were available even before Apple posted the web apps directory. The information about each web app in the web apps directory is supplied by the submitter which is usually the author. Being included in the web apps directory does not indicate endorsement, recommendation, etc on the part of Apple, it is a directory of available web apps.
No web app should be able to void your warranty, regardless of the site it is posted to, unless it were to exploit a known or unknown security hole. For example, there was a web app that would exploit a security hole to "jailbreak" the iPhone. That was fixed in a previous update to the iPhone.
The Pixel fix web app cycles the colors on the iPhone screen several times using Javascript. It does not install anything on the screen. Essentially it tries to do the opposite of screen burn in. Whether or not it will work, I do not know.
However, using a web-based application that does not overwrite system files or modify the file system, does not void your warranty.
Installing third-party native applications or files that require you to crack the iPhone file system could potentially cause damage to the iPhone's firmware, and would void your warranty.
Hope this helps,
Nathan C.

App Store 3rd Party Updates

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You can't reject third-party updates, but what you can do is to hide the update if you don't want to install it. the method to hide an update in OS X Mountain Lion is different > http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/hide-a-software-update-in-os-x-mountain-l ion

Password protect apps?

Is there a way to password protect (or pin protect) specific apps? Eg allow full use of the iPad EXCEPT dropbox unless you have a pin code?
Thanks.

There isn't. There are some apps that ask for a password before you can go any further in it. But its always up to the developer. Try suggesting the feature to the App developer. Or http://www.apple.com/feedback

Password protect and apple logo

Hi everyone!
I just publishd my website and I have 2 questions:
1- How can I make some private area (password protect) on my website. Not th entire site, just a section?
2- How can take the apple logo off the browser address bar?
Thanks

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. iWeb and MobileMe will only password protect an entire site. You can put the page(s) you want to protect in a separate protected site and add a hyperlink to that site from your open site.
2 - That's called a favicon. These sites may be of some help:

Deployment of Java App with 3rd party dll

Hi,
I am developing one application on windows environment. I am using netbeans 6.0 as my IDE. in this application I have to use 3rd party dll along with one 3rd party jar library. this jar library hides all the implementation of the native methods. So i don't have to use native methods in my application directly which means that I just need to call the java classes of the vendors jar library. I am able to execute the application in Netbeans. but I am not able to deploy the application. I want to know that how should i deploy my application which will be simple jar with vendors library and the dlls, so that user just have to run the application just through the command line( java -jar myapp.jar)

no you didn't understood the question. Wrong.
I understood the question.
You however didn't understand the response.
So let me expand on it.
The library consists of java and dlls. There is absolutely no way that it will run on a client box without the dlls. So they must be delivered in some way.
Now I suppose they could have encrypted/packed the dlls in some fashion but that isn't likely. And if it is then the java code of the library is responsible for loading them and there will be nothing you can do about it.
Excluding that.....
Shared libraries can ONLY be loaded via one of the following methods.
1. The dlls must be in the PATH environment of the application
2. The path must be explicitly provided in the application.
For the libraries you have one of the following will be true
1. The dlls must be in the PATH environment of the application
2. The path must be explicitly provided from your code and passed to the library code.
3. You must explicitly load the dlls in your code and hope that the library code is smart enough to deal with it.
For option 2 the library must provide a method for you to pass a path.
For option 3 the library code must be written to support this.
For option 1 you will need to modify the client in some way to provide for the PATH (which you can do in various ways, none of which have anything to do with Java specifically although 'WebStart' or whatever it is called might do it.)

Is Macupdate an Apple app or 3rd party

Macupdate occasionally has shown up on my Mac before and usually the only way to delete it has been to shut down my Mac manually. When it reappeared today, even that didn't work.
I also tried searching for all entries or remnants of the name (Macupdate) in system preferences . . . applications . . . monitor activity . . . support . . . java script etc. (and everywhere else I could think of looking), but could find no sign of Macupdate.
The most recent addition I could find anywhere was a string of unrelated letters next to java script dated a week ago.
The only onscreen image right now is the alert from Macupdate.com-apple.menu that a virus was contracted on the last website I visited (highly unlikely because I visit the same site several times a day) . . . and an invitation to remove it immediately by clicking "OK."
I've read mixed reviews of Macupdate dating back several years, so have been reluctant to open it, because I suspect I could be opening a can of worms — but also can't find any instructions for deleting it beyond what I already have tried.
The app also seems to be limited to Safari, because I still am able to access and use FireFox (my backup browser).
Any suggestions where I can find step-by-step directions for deleting Macupdate?
Thanks

Hey! I went to a page that was identified as an article about how owls die from eating poisoned mice, and instead of an article, a download automatically started, finished and was gone before I could do anything. It said thanks for installing "mactunepro".
Now, if you could tell us where to go to uninstall this *******, that would be great. It has changed everything in my iTunes opening page. Instead of opening to my library (which it has for years) it now is asking for my logon ID to either "go to the itunes store" or "Scan for media."
Is this an apple deal, or some serious hack job? Either way I have a clone backup, and I'm almost ready to pull the trigger and see if it fixes the glitch.
Thanks for any help
