This is more a question to Apple.
Can you provide an option which requires a passcode to switch of an iOS device? It would stop people from immediately switching off phones when they are stolen. Thanks.

Licensing question for apple support
Posting this here as I cannot find a support email address anywhere.
I have bought one batch of songs from itunes with the intent to convert them to mp3pro files. The official line seems to be Burn them to cd then rip them as if it's a store bought CD. Because I am working with 100 songs at a time this was a very tedious process. I found a piece of software that converted them from m4p directly to mp3 by playing them through my sound card and perfectly preserved the id3 tags. The tags btw were non existent using the burn method making the tedium exponentially worse.
I cannot find any wording in the apple licensing to prevent this but would like to know their official position.
These will never be shared or given away, the question is purely about one method vs another of reaching a common goal.Simply put, it is possible but not practical to use an Apple TV with a standard definition TV. The long version:
Apple TV is designed for widescreen TV's, either ED (extended definition) or HD (high definition). However, it does support 480i (NTSC) & 576i (PAL) output formats, which are standard TV broadcast formats.
The problem is few standard TV's accept component inputs (the three cable, luminance & color difference signals the Apple TV outputs, not to be confused with the RGB component standard supported by some SCART TV's), so you generally would need a fairly expensive converter to make these signals compatible with a standard TV.
Even so, unless your TV has a high performance RGB or component input, or a DVI or at least VGA input, the results will be unacceptable, since composite or S-Video inputs of standard TV's lack the bandwidth necessary to display Apple TV's high resolution images without smearing, color fringing, & other visual artifacts.
Also, Apple TV cannot play DVD's -- it has no DVD player built-in & no support to display DVD's running on a host computer.
So, one alternative is to buy a video-capable iPod & a dock, which outputs standard definition video. This is more expensive than an Apple TV but probably not more expensive than one plus the converter you will likely need, & of course gives you a portable video device.
Another alternative is to buy a compatible display, which could be a widescreen computer monitor with a DVI input. You could also burn some of your content to CD's & DVD's & use them in an inexpensive DVD player along with a standard TV. -

Trivia Question for Apple Fans
What do the following products all have in common:
1. Final Cut Pro 7
2. Quicktime 7
3. AppleTV with the built in hard drives
4. Apple HIFi
Answer:
They all worked perfectly but APPLE COULD NOT MAKE MONEY FROM THEM
SO THEY CHANGED THEM.
Final Cut Pro 7 is a near perfect application. Add in 64-bit and a couple of minor tweaks
and you've got (once again) the best editing software in the world.
Final Cut Pro X is bad dream I'm praying when I wake up in the morning is gone and
replaced with Final Cut Studio 4Simply put, it is possible but not practical to use an Apple TV with a standard definition TV. The long version:

This is a stupid question but I needed to ask because I don't want to go there and not being able to buy it, but can I get the iPhone 5 brought straight there when I go to an apple store?
And I meant go to the apple store physically without preordering it online, and I meant the Southampton one. So could I just stroll in apple store and buy a iPhone 5 in Southampton apple store and buy the iPhone 5 straight away? Because I didn't want to have to wait? I just want to go in and buy it and go out with it, if you guys get what I mean? And felipeV if it is in stock could I just buy it and leave with my iPhone 5?

This is more of a complaint than a question. I hate the calendar in the new iOS 7. Is it possible to revert to the old calendar system?
We'll I can't comment on the South Park stuff but we are in agreement on the calendar. As mentioned by leonieDF and also by a friend I found a great app called Week Agenda Ultimate and it love it. It takes info from the iOS 7 calendar I hate and puts it in this app. It's perfect. For .99 cents you can't best it. Good luck!

APPLE never answers this question. I love apple products but this kind of useless restriction drawing itself back to the underground...they only answer what the device can do and they never answer why the device can't do that? I want to directly post this question to apple.
Apple aren't here. You won't get a response from Apple on this user-to-user help forum.
Although speculation on Apple policies is not permitted on this forum, it has been previously speculated frequently, that the reasons for not allowing Bluetooth file transfers are:
1) Bluetooth is too slow for transferring multi-megabyte / gigabyte media files that iOS devices typically store. There are much faster ways of transferring files, not limited by arbitrary distances Bluetooth is.
2) Allowing file transfers would allow illegal sharing of copyrighted music and video files. Apple has a duty to protect such files from easy sharing due to agreements with the copyright holders for whom they sell this copyrighted content in the iTunes Store. -
i had recently followed orders to restore my iPhone 3gs (iOS 6.1) from a question on apple support. However it was working fine before that, it's just that my phone didn't have signal. So it said to restore my iPhone and now it says that the Activation server is temporarily unavailable and when i plugged it into my mac, it said that i ddn't have a sim card installed. What can I do to fix this besides bring it to the store? it also bugs me because this answer was supposed to work but it just messed my phone up even more. This has already happened once and i had to take it to the store. What should I do to fix this? Thank you so much for all answers. i really appreciate.
no so i dont know what happened

Every time I try to get on the Ipod games, it says I have to add more security questions, but no questions are listed, just two buttons that say "Submit" and places to put the answers to the unstated questions. It also asks for a second email address. It then proceeds to lock up. Is this a scam of some sort. There is nothing on the apple website about having additional security questions other than the one, or having a second email to operate the ipod.
You need to contact Apple to get the questions reset. Click here, phone them, and ask for the Account Security team, or fill out and submit this form.
Whichever method you use, you probably won't get a response until the 26th. If you absolutely must make a purchase before then, create a new Apple ID; you won't be able to transfer previous purchases or iTunes Store credit to it.

I'm trying to reset my apple ID password but forgot my security questions. Apple are sending the confirmation e-mail to the wrong address, please help?
Hello AndrewsAFCx,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
If you cannot remember your security questions for your Apple ID, I would recommend these steps outlined in the article named:
Apple ID: All about Apple ID security questions
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5665
What should I do if I don't remember the answers to my Apple ID security questions?
Try answering them at least once to see if you can get them right, even if you are not sure you remember the answers to your security questions.
If you are confident you can't remember them, try one of the following:
If you have three security questions and a rescue email address
sign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to send an email to your rescue email address to reset your security questions and answers.
If you have one security question and you know your Apple ID passwordsign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to reset your security question.
If you have one security question, but don't remember your Apple ID password
contact Apple Support for assistance. Learn more about creating a temporary support PIN to help Apple confirm your identity when you contact Apple Support.
Note: If you have forgotten your password and answer your security questions incorrectly too many times in a row, you will be unable to try to answer your security questions for a period of time. During that time you will not be able to reset your password and will not have access to your account.
All the best,
Sterling -
