Protect apps or folders

can i protect with a code or something to open an app or a folder of apps in my iphone to avoid someone access them? tx

Sorry, no. The only thing you can do is Passcode protect the whole phone, not individual apps or folders.

Not possible. Your only options remotely regarding this are Restrictions.

How do I use the Verizon Service & Protection app to locate my phone if it gets lost?

The Verizon Support & Protection app (VZ Protect) is installed on my phone and is supposed to help me if my phone is lost or stolen by allowing me to find it on a map, lock it, erase my data from it, etc. But I found it nearly impossible to figure out what I should do in the event that actually did get lost or stolen.
I logged into my My Verizon account from my computer (which is probably what I would do if I lost my phone), but unfortunately there isn't anything on the site to help a person who has actually lost their phone or had it stolen to quickly and easily locate it. Most of the links I found were only promoting Verizon's services and the app, but nothing on how to use it.
I tried searching for things I might type if I had actually lost my phone (like, "missing phone", "stolen phone", "find lost phone"). I had to go into the "How to Use Guide: Verizon Support & Protection" page, which I was only able to find on the Verizon Support & Protection FAQs page), in order to find a link that told me I had to go to the Verizon Support & Protection App website to use this service.
There really should be something more obvious right on the My Verizon site.

Purchase a replacement remote.
The remote is required for configuring the ATV and setting up the remote app on iDevices.

Looking for a voice memo app with folders

Looking for a voice memo app with folders
I'm trying to find a simple voice memos app that allows me to save the voice memos in folders right on the phone, and have them backed up to my desktop when I sync. I used to use Recorder Pro by Bear-Software but it doesn't work properly anymore. It was great when it worked. Why do so many of the voice memo apps just keep your voice memos in one huge long unorganized list? I need to be able to create 10 or 15 folders within the app, and save each voice memo to a specific folder. Any voice memo apps come to mind?

received this repsposne from the folks at Imesart:
Dear Andrew,
No app on iOS will let you add files to the music library. The only way to do this is to use iTunes on a computer.

How to organize apps into folders and make them stick in iphone 3gs?

Four hours down the drain! Darn, I decided to finally learn how to organize my apps into folders and do it right. Instead I spent four hours and must have got it wrong.
I opened iTunes on my MacBook with my iPhone attached. Then clicked on the iPhone in the left side list of my iTunes. Then clicked on apps which brought up a nice page with all my iPhone apps listed in one window on the left and all the pages of the apps that are on my iPhone in the window on the right. So far this is what I think the User Manual and Help said to do.
At that point I created new folders by dragging one app over another. For example, I would find a photography app and drag it onto another photography app. That automatically created a folder with the name photography. Just what I wanted. I then looked for more photography apps and dragged them to the folder.
This is not too easy because I had eight pages of apps. At first, I would grab an app on a page and drag it to where I knew the corresponding folder would be and put it into the folder.
Later I found another way was to use the list of my apps on the right to put them in apps.
In the end, from what appeared on the screen, it seemed to me that most of my apps were in folders and the folders were either on page one, two, or three. At that point I thought that I should sync the MacBook with the iPhone, I believe, and did so.
When the sync was finished I took the iPhone off the computer and looked at it. NONE of the folders I created, nor the organization into folders of the apps were on my iPhone!
Obviously, I did something wrong since the same mess was on the iPhone as before, with apps all over the place and impossible to locate without taking too much time. This after four hours of work looking at a 13 in. laptop screen!
What I hope is that someone smarter than me will look at what I did and tell me where I went wrong.
I want the apps on the iPhone to be organized into logical folders so it is easier to find them. Something along the lines of a good database, you know?
Thank you for reading to the end of this question,

OK, I spent another afternoon doing the job started yesterday. Last night (could not sleep, so might as well think) I got to thinking that I really must have missed a step or something because all my work was done on the Mac and I did not recall any time when I transferred the new setup with folders to the iPhone.
Sure enough, when I tried it today I did find that missing step. When looking at the Home Page of the iPhone or any page being worked on, in the lower right hand corner two buttons say
SYNC APPLY
I do not recall using the APPLY button on the first day trying this, but I used it this time.
After making changes, I hit APPLY and the computer began to sync with the iPhone.
This time, although there is nothing telling the user what is going on, the sync actually makes the iPhone pages to look exactly like the pages created on the Mac.
Too bad the instructions and help did not say to do things in this way, which is the only correct way, as far as I can tell.
I have about 155 apps on the iPhone, making the job extra lengthy. However, I never could do it on the iPhone’s tiny screen, even though it is possible, so this was good - working on the larger screen of the MacBook.
There are also some (undocumented?) tricks in using the MacBook for this task. For example, it is possible to create a folder and then, using the list of all apps on the iPhone that is on the left side of screen, open the folder, click on the check box next to any app you want to put in the folder and it will jump right in!
If the check box already has a check mark, just click the box to remove it, click again to put the check mark in the box and voila the app takes off for the folder. This also works to just put apps onto a certain page, if you want to do that, but dragging apps around sometimes works better.
I hope it will not be necessary to do this again because of the time involved, and he need for quite a bit of thinking on how to move the apps and folders around to get everything just where you want it on the iPhone. The work reminded me of an old kids game that has a small square case with, I guess eleven movable numbers, that are all mixed up, and one space that is not filled with a number. You can move the little squares with the numbers around inside the case to try to line the numbers up in order from 1-11 and do it faster than anybody else.
Well, unfortunately lining up all my apps was like that because each page of the iPhone only holds 16 folders or apps and each folder is limited to 12 apps. Starting with 155 apps it takes too much mouse maneuvering to make the process easy.
Finally, the automatic folder names are very broad, as in MUSIC, LIFESTYLE, SPORTS and such, so I often just deleted the given categories and put my in my own. Also, some day I may break down the folders more because twelve apps in one folder means the apps are still pretty much out of view.
I wrote this in case anyone else finds it and has the same irksome product. If I just reinvented the wheel, please do not tell me now.

Syncing apps in folders

i recently set up my iphone on a new laptop and have transefered all purchases and managed to syn everything apart from the apps. if i select the apps to sync it removes them from the folders i have set up. is there any wasy of backing it up exaclty as it is on my phone at the moment?
any help will be much appreciated

By design, the iphone will sync itunes content with one computer at a time. Any attempt to sync such content with a second computer will result in all itunes content being first erased from your phone & then replaced with the content from the second computer. This is a design feature and cannot be overridden. Since you have all of your content on your new computer, you won't lose any content, since you'll be in a position to sync it back. To preserve your app data & layout, do the following:
1. Disable auto sync when an ipod/iphone is connected under preferences in itunes(under the edit menu if using windows).
2. Make sure you have one contact entry and one calendar entry in whatever supported applications you use on your computer. These entries can be fake, doesn't matter. The important point is that these applications not be empty.
3. Connect your phone, DO NOT SYNC, at this point.
4. Store>Authorize this Computer...make sure your computer is authorized.
5. File>Transfer Purchases...make sure all purchased content on your phone is in your itunes library.
6. Right click in the device pane & select "Reset Warnings".
7. Right click again & select "Backup".
8. Right click again & select 'Restore from Backup", select the backup you just made. If prompted to create another backup, decline.
9. Follow this by syncing to restore your itunes content, which you'll select from the various tabs. This should restore all of your apps & the folders they were in as well as preserve your app data.
10. If you get a popup regarding your contacts & calendars asking to merge or replace, select merge.

Spent an hour organizing my apps into folders and the iPad undid it all!?!?

Hello, I was wondering if anyone else has had this issue? I was very excited to finally be able to organize my apps into folders as I had tons of them and they wretched to navigate. I spent a long time getting them all set and where I wanted them and down to 2 pages total. I plugged the iPad in to charge using a wall charger (the one it came with) and 3 hours later the folders were all gone! I found this to be incredibly frustrating and among the worst experiences I've had with an apple product. My iPhone 4 certainly did not dump all its folders...

There is a secret as to why you are losing your folder arrangements.
They can automatically unpack on a sync.
We should all know there are screens off to the right of the valid eleven home pages. If your last page is full of icons and you inadvertently add another something is shoved off to the right. If you move home screens around using iTunes this also happens.
If any icon filled with apps falls off to the right it will unpack and make a mess. If you move a home page filled with folders which are filled with icons around you can lose them all as they will unpack when you sync to iTunes.
The best choice is to take the right most page and *MAKE SURE NO FOLDERS ARE EVER IN THE RIGHT MOST PAGE*. That gives you safety room from inadvertently scooting one or more folders into higher number screens. I place a few standard apps in the right most page to hold it in place.
*CREATING FOLDERS*
Second you are safer building your folders on the device itself. To do this I move everything off the bottom bar and use it as a placeholder (bus)to shuttle apps around as I figure out what group they should be added to. I have over 800 apps in 22 GB on the iPad now. Things are well organized and nice looking when scanning the home pages.
When setting it up I just added all the apps at once. Then as I made room on the home screens I paused made sure my 'bus' was empty, then shut down the iPad to power off and back on again. This cleans up memory and on reboot the iPad will add as many of the hidden apps to the space on your eleven home pages. There after it became a session of rinse and repeat until all the apps I wanted where filed away and arranged.
Use meaningful folder names.
*Apps from *****
There are some real junk apps that some how I managed to grab in the past. Others are surpassed by obviously more powerful and functional apps that have recently appeared so there is no sense in keeping them. If you delete them off the iPad they will reappear on the next sync unless you delete them from iTunes.
How do you remember to delete them from iTunes too? When I get to the delete confirmation screen I take a screenshot which is stored in my Photos roll. Then I browse that roll while before the computer and find each app that needs to be permanently deleted. After deleting it from the PC I then delete the reminder picture from the iPad.

Why does order of apps and folders change when downloading new apps?

Since I've downloaded iOS 6 on my iPhone 4s, whenever I download a new app, it goes at the beginning of page 2 on my desktop which of course changes the order of all the apps and folders. It didn't do this with iOS 5. It is a real pain. Is there some way to change it back to the way it used to be on iOS 5?
Thank you.

I think that I did that. I checked the arrow to point up on the numerical listing of the tracks. When I "burn" the CD, it shows them being written in order, but when the entire thing is completed and I go to the actual CD, they are all out of order.

Organizing apps into folders on computer

Is there an easier way of organizing my apps into folders on the computer other than dragging them between 5 screens? They are organized this way on my 3Gs, but when I synched my new 4S to iTunes nothing is in folders.

Why not let us pin protect apps?!?!?!?

I know this has been posted in the past, but I would love to be able to pin protect any app I choose on my iPad. My nine year old daughter uses my iPad regularly and I would love to be able to prevent her from using any app I choose. HBO Go is awesome, but I don't want her to be able to use it. Same with mail and netflix and many others.

Thanks for the suggestion. Just submitted this to the feedback link:
I love my iPad. The whole family uses it.

It would be awesome if they implement this.

Remove Blackberry Protect App

How do I remove the Blackberry Protect App from my Blackberry Bold 9650? I installed it but haven't set it up yet, but have a problem with the battery running down.
I'm trying to find what is running the battery down. I've removed most of the other apps I've installed except I can't figure out how to get rid of this one.

Hello,
I'm a bit confused by your post...is that, in your mind, a good thing or a bad thing? Since BBProtect facilitates such actions, removing it (which is the topic of this thread) would quite naturally eliminate the ability to track it via BBProtect.
Since I surmise that your BB was stolen, I refer you to this:

Apple Configurator - apps into folders

When installing apps from apple configurator how do I organize apps into folders.
I downloaded the apps using iTunes on my master Mac Air laptop.
I can set up apps onto iPads. I just need to know if I can install the apps into pre-defined folders.
Thanks

Hi SSoman,
Yes wrant is right. If you are Supervising iPads, then get one iPad first and Supervise it in Apple Configurator. Then add apps to Apple Configurator (which you downloaded with iTunes). Use Apple Configurator to install those apps onto your newly Supervised iPad. Organize the apps into folders the way you want. Once all apps are in the folders you want them to be in, create a supervised backup of that iPad. Use that "master" backup and restore that backup on to any additional iPads. Apps will stay in their designated folders
Hope this answers your question!
