Prevent apps and icons from being rearranged or deleted?

Is there a way to prevent apps and icons from being rearranged or deleted?
My three year old son likes to move them around and delete them. I don't want to lock him out because he loves to play many of the learning apps and games.

I use different screens for my apps. My 6yo son has his own page with folders for games, education, and books. That is the default page, in case for some reason he's the one to turn on the phone it goes straight to that. The next page is default apps. Can't harm them. Then I've got some test apps, that I haven't decided if I'll keep them. Then there's a few games my DH plays. The last page is mine, with those things I don't want my son messing with. He knows its there and he knows he can't mess with them.
My son is older than yours, but if you aren't going to be watching him the entire time he's got your phone, that may be the best way to go. And make sure he knows what he can and can't do on the phone. If he can't understand that, he will probably need to be supervised the whole time. No locking features that I have found, and I've looked!
Good luck!

    FCE 4.0.1 won't open when I click the icon in the Dock or in the Applications icon of FCE. It had been working well but I had trouble when I trashed the reference Scratch disk to a project and I was asked to get it back. I checked all my drives through verify in Disk Utility and a couple needed repair - eventually were given the OK. I then Shut Down and rebooted, I then trashed the FCE App and reinstalled from the Install discs and , finally, I tried opening a FCE project. None of these caused the FCE App to open with Browser, Viewer, Canvas,. Time Line. All that happens is the the first FCE window, the one that says FCE registered to...and the other that says loading AE Effects, Video Effects does show but then nothing except my Desktop with it's various folders and files I also downloaded the Plug In Tom Wolsky suggested to a recent query.
    All I can think of is to backup everything to HDs and take this iMac in for a service.It is only six months old - I reckon it will be poor driving by it's proud but unskilled driver!

    Don't panic . . . . . yet!
    You may not have trashed FCE properly.
    Deleting the application icon is useless as there are a number of files hidden elsewhere which may be corrupt.
    Download this free app to uninstall FCE completely and then reinstall it.
    FCS Remover - Uninstall Final Cut Studio, Final Cut Pro, Motion, Compressor, Soundtrack Pro, Color, DVD Studio Pro, LiveType, Cinema Tools
    I know it is called FCS Remover but it also works for FCE.

    How can I prevent a PDF file from being copied, printed or downloaded? Students should only be able to view the text and and not distribute it in any way.

    You can prevent it from being printed by applying a security policy to it
    in Acrobat. The rest can't be prevented, unless you spend  a LOT of money
    on DRM protection.

  • I just loaded snow leopard but removed the the mac app store icon from the doc and now I can't find it

    I am trying to upgrade to Lion. I just loaded the snow leapord onto the computer and accidently removed the new mac app store icon from the dock and now I can't find it. I guess I need it to buy Lion. How do I get it back? It's not in the mac HD apps file. Thanks

    Should be in the Applications folder as "App Store", not as "Mac App Store".
    Check first in the Applications folder accessible via that named item in the Dock (also accessible at (hard drive) > Applications).
    If it's not there, it may be in the Applications folder for your user: (hard drive) > Users > youraccountname > Applications.

  • Problems with iTunes/ipad2  I'm trying to buy FREE apps and I'm being told my card is declined but I also have more then enough credit on my account! Anyone having this problem?

    Problems with iTunes/ipad2  I'm trying to buy FREE apps and I'm being told my card is declined but I also have more then enough credit on my account! Anyone having this problem?

    Part of the validation for credit cards is that they need to be registered to exactly the same name and address that you have on your iTunes account, which prepaid cards tend not to be. Do you have a proper credit card that you could use ? Or are iTunes gift cards available in your country so that you could try using them as your payment method ?
    Until you have a valid payment method on your account and what you owe iTunes has been paid off then you won't be able to download any item from the store, including free apps (and updates to apps).

  • How to prevent an encrypted backup from being restored to a different device?

    If I force an employee to do an encrypted backup (which I can do with a configuration profile), and that employee is fired. We take back the company iphone, but they go and buy a personal one. They connect the new, personal iphone to itunes and do a restore of the encrypted backup (they know the password) and now they have all the work related stuff on their personal phones. Is there a way to prevent an encrypted back from being restored to a different device id.

    We require encryption of our employee backups as well...and the problem you mention is a real one.....
     If you use Exchange, you could disable Exchange Active Sync to prevent them from subsequently connecting to Exchange Server and getting new data with the new personal device....but you would still have the old data as part of the backup...the other issue is that we've found that the profile is part of the backup and if an employee leaves, even on good terms, if he wants to restore say, his music from the backup without the profile, it becomes quite awkward...the profile would have to be removed, ( which removes everything added with the profile, possible email and wi-fi), then the user could backup music etc  with iTunes, then return the corporate phone to be salvaged or re-deployed...and later put his personal data back on another device without the profile...if there is a way around the issue you bring up I'd like to know of it as well. .  Perhaps there is an MDM with functionality that would help here....that is one great strength of the Blackberry platform..all corporate data can be controlled from the BES server. 

  • Is there a way to prevent a PDF file from being forwarded?

    is there a way to prevent a PDF file from being forwarded? For example, im a personal trainer and if i send a client a plan via PDF file, i want to make sure that they cannot send it to anyone else. I read about how you can secure a file by creating an ID and then having the recipient create an ID as well, but i would like to make the orocess as easy as possible for my clients and not have to have them create an ID and then send it to me. is there a better way to block the recipient from resending the PDF?

    Hi Kiana,
    As such there is no option to prevent the recipients from forwarding the pdf. However you can refer to this blog How do I prevent someone from forwarding a PDF?, it might be of some help.

  • Photoshop CC 2014 - "Could not complete your request because something prevented the text engine from being initialised".

    This problem has just started, only with CC 2014. It doesn't happen with CC or CS6.
    When I open a particular layered file, then Duplicate it, then close the original Master file I get the "text engine" warning box when I try to enter text in the copy file.
    If I enter text in the original Master file - no problem.
    If the Master file is still open and I try to enter text in the copy file  - no problem.
    I've validated all my fonts in Font Book, deleting all the duplicates and one corrupt font. No change to problem.
    I've gone to User/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CC2014/ and trashed the CT Font Cache folder. No change to problem.
    I've run PS Update.
    Running OS 10.9.3.
    Any suggestions?

    I'm having the same issue on my work computer. I found this info in Adobe's help section.
    Issue
    When you use the Type Tool, you receive the following error:
    "Could not complete your request because something prevented the text ending from being initialized."
    To the top 
    Solution
    Close Photoshop, clear the font cache, and restart.
    Exit Photoshop.
    In Windows Explorer, navigate to the Users/[user name]/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CC/CT Font Cache folder.
    Move these two files to the Recycle Bin:
    AdobeFnt_CMaps.lst
    AdobeFnt_OSFonts.lst
    Empty the Recycle Bin.
    Restart Photoshop.
    To the top 
    Additional information
    This issue can occur after you uninstall and reinstall Photoshop several times.
    Text Engine error using type tool in Photoshop CC | Windows 8

  • Error: prevented the text engine from being initialized

    I am getting the following error when attempting to use the text tool with my photoshop (12.0) - windows 7.
    "could not complete your request because something prevented the text engine from being initialized"
    I've attempted to follow some posts from others to fix without success.
    There are two fonts in my fonts folder that are shortcuts - and the fonts don't exist in the folder. Also, I can't delete the shortcut font from the fonts folder.
    (I'm posting this now... and might have a solution. Just in case, I want this conversation started.)
    TIA,
    Greg

    Usually that means that you have a corrupt font or a corrupt OS font cache.
    See this document for more troubleshooting steps: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/troubleshoot-fonts-photoshop-cs5.html
    Also, make sure you have all the Photoshop updates installed.

  • How to stop volume icon from being displayed randomly

    How to stop volume icon from being displayed randomly

    Thanks for the quick response.
    I have a number of slides which act as a training module. The quiz follows this. All the answers to the quiz are in the module slides. I'd like the user to be able to see which questions they're failing on, but not be shown the answers, as, if they are failing the quiz, the whole module needs to be reviewed and the test retaken.
    If this isn't possible, I'll probably just remove the review option, thereby meaning my retake button can stay, and the user can just go back and re-read the module slides to learn the answers.
    Thanks

  • Is their way to prevent a form data from being lost when a validation fails

    Is their way to prevent a form data from being lost when a validation fails?

    So I would use APEX_COLLECTION (there is some information in APEX documentation).
    Read all data you need to keep after submit and save them to your collection. Then, if validation fails, show report with data not from base, but from your collection. You have to create process, which creates collection, and you need to modify your report definition to get data not only from DB but also from collection.
    If you have any questions feel free to ask.

    I've somehow managed to delete the App Store icon from my iPad. How do I re install it?

    Try a reset:
    1. Hold the Sleep and Home button down (together) for about 10 seconds
    2. Until you see the Apple logo (very important)

    Change your iTS password!!!!
    Are these charges from Adobe or Apple?
    Are these purchases from the App Store or iTunes Store?
    Contact your credit card company and dispute the charges. Apple and Adobe will do nothing for you - it is your CC issuer that can help.
    As noted these are user to user discussions. None of us here work for Apple or Adobe.
    Contact iTS Customer Service via these links - http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/
