Using Siri to open an App will bypass the Passcode/Fingerprint Authentication

I just used Siri to open an App on an iPhone 5s and it allowed me to bypass the passcode or fingerprint authentication and gain access to the iPhone. Is this a security flaw or do I need to set another option to prevent this? Certain apps require authentication, but so far, Flipboard and Youtube do not and they also allow full access to the iPhone without passcode or fingerprint. I have not tried this on another device with ios7.

One benefit is that using Siri to Open an app seems to be the quickest way to access the phone because the fingerprint scanner authenticates during the button push

You can probably change the ID in the "iTunes and App stores" settings on the iPad....click on the wrong account ID , select sign out, then log in with your own ID, I have not done this but I think it works.....
but I would be more inclined to to the factory reset and start afresh.

Any ideas as to why my iPhone 3GS wouldn't be receiving any messages or voicemails unless I turn my phone off? Also, it isn't able to open any apps that require the internet.. Help??

YOu can try resetting your network or a reboot. To reboot hold down the home/power button together until you see the apple logo and then release. Wait for the phone to boot back up, you won't lose any data.

Open an App and see the App instead of just the name in the menu bar?

This may seem like a dumb question, but here goes anyway...
Two applications in particular....Microsoft Office apps (word,excel,etc)
and Pro Tools LE....
How do I open these apps and see the opening page of the app, rather that
just the name of the app in the menu bar and the desktop...?
This happens automatically in Win XP or Vista....

Only a very few Apps have the option/preference to do that in OSX, not sure if any MS APPs do or not.
Maybe it would be closer to what you want though, to instead of opening the APP, drag say the Word® doc you want to the Word® icon in the Dock, which runs Word, opens the document, and skips the Open Dialog.

Hi shldr2thewheel,
it has been a while since we have last spoke, I would like to let you know, I am still working on getting used to the switch from windows to a Mac/Apple system. I do have a new question for you, I did purchase In Design CS5.5 through journeyed.com through Cuyahoga Community College of which I attend as a student, is there a way to purchase an online book through iTunes to learn that as well? Also, you know me, the struggling student, I would also, when and if the book can be purchased through the iTunes, would need to know if you do know of a much easier book for struggling students like myself and at a reasonable price as well for the In Design CS5.5 program. Our campus bookstore had closed early, and, so did the colleges library and our local library here where I do live, so, I cannot go to either place to purchase a book or to take out a book, plus cash funds are low at this moment as well but, I do have money left on the iTunes account to use, if it can be used. So, can it be used, the iTunes money, towards finding a low priced online book? I am in great need of assistance as I have a project due for my one course for this Tuesday, September 4, 2012.
Sincerely in need of help once again,
Kim

Upon opening itunes it will process the artwork, then proceed to determine gapless playback information. It will analyze a few songs the completely stop working. Any Ideas?

Repeated execution of the "determining gapless playback information" process may also be a symptom of corruption in your iTunes Library.itl file (the main iTunes database). If you have a recent backup it may be worth restoring that (especially if it immediately precedes addition of the skipping files). However, the two symptoms you are seeing may be interrelated, i.e., the "determining gapless playback information" repetition and the skipping music may both be caused by incomplete or corrupt media files. If possible, find and (re)move all the media files - you should be able to do a date-based search in Windows Explorer - and try restarting iTunes. Of course, you should backup your library first so that it can be restored if the media files are OK.

TS2401 How can you bypass the passcode screen if you forget the passcode number. This is a first for me in the 4 years I have had it???

I changed the passcode to my phone a couple of days ago and for the life of me can't figure out what it is. I need to get into the phone but don't know how without resetting the phone to origional setting. If I do this I will not have a phone at all can anyone help. This is a special situation. The phone is not on a network that carries it this is why I can't reset to origional setting. HELP

If you forgot your passcode, restore the phone from backup on the last computer your phone was synced with... this will remove the passcode.
If you do not have access to the last computer the phone was synced with, you will have to force the phone into recovery mode & restore as a new device.

I am trying to reset my 4s iphone to the original settings and erase all my content. It is asking for a passcode which i have not used before. How/where do I get the passcode?

It needs the restrictions passcode. You or someone with physical access to the phone had to set it. It can not set itself.

Opening "Preferences" folder will crash the Finder every time!

On my 24" iMac with OSX 10.6.5, opening User's "Preferences" folder will crash the Snow Leopard Finder every time! This will happen even if I try to open a saved "Preferences" folder on an external drive.
On the brand-new 27" iMac also with OSX 10.6.5, the same thing will happen, but less frequently.
Is there way around this annoying problem???
Thanks for the help!

Problem solved thanks to a tip on the internet:
Fetch 4.0.3 preference files were causing the Snow Leopard Finder to crash constantly. Removing the files from both iMacs and the problem went away immediately.
Since I couldn't open the Snow Leopard folder containing the Fetch prefs files long enough to remove them, I used a MacBook, running Leopard to remove the files through the network.

HT5100 Watching a itunes u video in itunes app will save the video for future reference?

If i watch the video in itunes app, will it save the video for future use?

Well the first thing you could try, since the content is free, is to delete the video you've already downloaded and try again. However in this case I can confirm the video freeze frames as about 4:12 and the last 3 minutes plays with that static image and no audio.
Find the series in the iTunes Store and either use the Report a Concern link to report "Difficulty playing episode" or click the link for the series producer's website and look for contact information there. Point Blank have a contact form here.

I found an iphone 4 and tried to bypass the passcode but as i moved on to try and use this iphone, it says that i have to contact the owner to give me the apple id and password but i dont know the owner

i have got an apple iphone 4 and want to use it...it says that i need to contact the owner of the iphone to give me the apple id and the password, but i dont know the owner because i found this iphone.....can you help me unlock this iphone ??

It doesn't belong to you. Turn it over to the police. You can't bypass the activation lock. It's doing exactly what it's designed to do, which is to prevent scum like you from using a lost or stolen phone.
