TA38641 is there a way to set an email address that appears on screen w/ my pass code- so if someone finds my phone they can return it to me?

I just put a passcode on my iPhone to lock it if it's stolen. Is it possible to have my email address appear, so that if it's found by some kind person, they may return it to me? Would at least love a shot at getting it back if I lose it.
Thanks!

You can create a custom image containing contact information and use that as wallpaper on the lock screen. Obviously you'll want to use some "safe" information - a gmail account, another cell phone, etc. - so that someone malicious can't physically locate you from that information or put you on spam lists.
Regards.

    Is there any way to set a password so that txt messages only open when the password is entered?
    Please help! Thanks for reading:)

    Hello Damien,
    There is an option to set a passcode for the entire iPhone.  You can use the following steps to set this up:
    You can configure a passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using Settings > General > Passcode Lock.
    Once enabled, you will be prompted for the passcode whenever you:
    Turn on or restart the device
    Wake the device
    Unlock the screen
    Note: You can specify the amount of time the screen must be locked before requiring a passcode.
    You can find the full article here:

  • Is there a way to set an email mailbox so that mail from many months are stored, but the general default for the other mailboxes is a few days?

    Is there a way to set an email mailbox so that mail from many months are stored, but the general default for the other mailboxes is a few days?

    The only thing I can think of is to set the number of days to sync messages, shown below. But I'm not sure if this is what you're after. If it is go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars select the email account you wish to change.
    This will then only sync emails from the last week for example. In the screenshot all email messages would be synced to the iPhone.

    Hello Nikkii,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    iOS: Troubleshooting FaceTime and iMessage activation
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4268
    Troubleshooting telephone-number activation (iPhone only)
    After each step, toggle FaceTime and iMessage off and then on in Settings > Messages and Settings > FaceTime.
    Update to the latest version of iOS.
    Ensure that your iPhone is set to the correct time zone. Tap Settings > General > Date & Time.
    Note: If Set Automatically is on but the incorrect time zone is displayed, turn Set Automatically off and then choose the correct time zone, date, and time. Then turn Set Automatically on again.
    Ensure that FaceTime has not been restricted: Settings > General > Restrictions > FaceTime.
    Verify that you can send SMS messages. You need a valid SMS messaging plan to activate FaceTime.
    Contact your carrier to verify that there are no restrictions or blocks on text messages. Blocks on text messaging will prevent iMessage and FaceTime registration.
    If you are unable to activate iMessage or FaceTime on a device after remote wiping it, wait at least 24 hours and try again.
    If "Waiting for Activation" is displayed, leave FaceTime and iMessage enabled for 24 hours. Toggling FaceTime or iMessage off and on will cause the registration process to start over.
    Best of luck,
    Mario

  • Is there a way to set the iPhone to have a black screen with white text?

    I found the "Invert Colors" option under Settings > General > Accessibility, and like it a lot. It provides enhanced readability.
    The problem is that it inverts all colors, even for apps. So when I view a web page in Safari, all the colors are inverted for the images.
    And when I view my photos in Photos, these are also inverted as well.
    Is there a way to set up the iPhone to default to a black screen and white letters for the OS, but allow the apps and photos, etc. to
    be viewed in their regular colors. For example, can I run Photos to view my photos on a black background but view the photos in their
    normal coloring?

    I'm afraid that is not possible, maybe this could bee a step in that direction if you use the mentioned Zoom function:
    Invert Colors and Grayscale
    Sometimes, inverting the colors or changing to grayscale on the iPhone screen makes it easier to read.
    Invert the screen colors. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility, then turn on Invert Colors.
    See the screen in grayscale. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility, then turn on Grayscale.
    Turn on both effects to see inverted grayscale. You can also apply these effects to just the contents of the zoom window—see Zoom on page 150.

  • Is there a way to conceal an email address in Muse

    I'm working on my first Muse website and wondered if there is a way to conceal the email address on the contact form. Otherwise, spam is going to be a problem.

    If you use the contact form in Muse, your email address does not appear in the HTML for your site. It's stored on your web server(either a setting on BusinessCatalyst or embedded in a PHP file on your web server).
    You may still get some automated spam-bot submissions of your form, but not as much as if your email address was available on your website.

  • Is there a way to transfer an email address on my iTunes account to new iTunes account?

    I just bought a new iPhone 5C for my daughter.  Up until now she has had an iPod touch and so I set her up with an email address that is linked to my iTunes account.  That way she has been able to share my apps etc.  Now that she has her own phone I'd like to set her up with her own account.  Right now her email address is listed under my iTunes account.  Can I change that when I create her her own?

    Hi cioTA,
    An email address that is associated with another Apple ID can not be used to make another Apple ID. In order to use it as an Apple ID you would have to remove it from yours. See this article -

  • Is there a way to set up FF so that you can install a new dictionary and use it in addition to the dictionary you are already using?

    I have managed to create a dictionary which contains a list of common chemical names and terms. But to use it you have to select the dictionary as a replacement for your normal language. As the chemical names are used in sentances constructed in a users normal language this is not ideal. Is there a way to install the new dictionary to work in an additive way to your existing dictionary?

  • Is there ANY way to use another email address with iCloud?

    Apple let you use any email address as an Apple ID, but I really want to be able to use a non-Apple email address with my iCloud mail. Just about every email service (Gmail, Hotmail, etc) allows you to send from a third-party address (once you've done a security verification) so that you don't have to change your email address when switching services. iCloud seems to have no such option. Is there any way round this, or any way to put pressure on Apple to add this basic feature???

  • Is there any way to edit an email address in the iPad mail app once it has been highlighted?

    To try and clarify the above, when I type an email address in the address field, in the Mail app, and then hit the space bar, the email address becomes highlighted. If I then want to edit the email address I cannot for the life of me work out how to do it without deleting it and typing it out again.

    Neither can I. I just think that is the way the app works. If there is a way, I would like to know myself.

  • HT204150 Is there a way to delete an email address from an iPad's memory?

    I once emailed my boss from my personal .mac email account so that is in his iPad memory.  Yesterday he emailed me with a work related request and the email defaulted to my .mac account rather than my work email address.  I don't often check my personal email since I'm chained to my office desk.  I almost missed this email and that would have been bad for me and my boss' relationship.  Can I delete it from his iPad to prevent this from happening going forward?

    You can't - it is his ipad. How do you like them apples?
    Seriously - you need to tell him that those emails will not reach you on time. The only way to delete those is to restore the ipad (cause they are cashed in) He would be completely craaaaazy to allow you to do that.

  • Is there a way to edit multiple email addresses within Mail?

    It seems Mail stores email addresses somewhere else besides Address Book. As you prepare an email and begin key boarding the address, Mail immediately offers suggestions based on previous emails one has received and also offers a pull down menu where you can add it to Address Book, along with other things like edit, remove, copy
    First, when I attempt to make edits to an individual email address Mail does not seem to save the change permanently. What I would like is to make edits to the whole list rather than individually, but do not know where to look...any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
    thanks

    those addresses are kept in the list of previous recipients available from the Windows menu in Mail. But you can not edit entries on that list. you can only remove individual entries.
    you can add those addresses to Address Book and edit them there.
