Why can't I set a password specifically for my messages

Sometimes I let people use my phone to check emails and such and I don't want snooping eyes to go to my messages just because I already had typed in my password

There is no password protection available specifically for Messages. The passcode for the phone itself is all that is available. You can provide feedback to Apple at www.apple.com/feedback.

Why can't I set a relative date for a recurring event in calendar on my ipod touch?

Because The Calendar app does not support it. There are apps in the App store that do.

Why can't I set a stop time for a song in itunes?

I would like to shorten a song that I purchased on itunes. When I set the stop time in options it continues to play to the end of the song and will not accept the shortened time I have set. Why can I not shorten the stop time on a song?

I had a similar problem, with strange times appearing in the stop time field after I entered it.
I eventually realised that the song must not be playing, or even selected for playing, when you attempt the stop time edit. This is counter-intuitive; both of us wanted to edit the stop time for a song we were playing.
What worked for me was to first select another song and start it playing. Then select the song whose stop time you want to edit, and make the edit.
I hope that solves your problem.
However, a warning: Start and stop times do not seem to propagate to the home shared library, e.g., accessed by an iPad, or Apple TV; they only work when playing music directly from iTunes.

Why can't I set up an account for my 7 year old to redeem his gift card? Is there a way I can put it on my account but NOT use it for my purchases?

My 7 year old received a gift card, but I cannot set up an iTunes account for him to use it. When I redeem it on my account, a credit is given to my account against all purchases, including my own. If I want to purchase a song now, it will use HIS gift card to do it. I can't see any way to sidestep it so that I can charge my credit card until the credit on my account is all used up. I would like him to have his own account with the gift card so that I do not end up using it. Any way to do this?

Unfortunately, the minimum age is 13 for an iTunes account.

Password - why can't adminstrators access customer password

I am a system adminstrator for two sites and I am becoming increasingly frustrated at the inability to access customer passwords. I have a number of custoemrs who regularly forget their passwords who are not particularly computer savvy and I am not able to help them without a lot of phone/email support. Whereas under the previous system I could communicate their password to them saving both of us a great deal of time and energy.
I am very aware that BC changed the system to deny access to passwords for all but the customer but this for my sites is ridiculous. I have access to all info that my customers have and I can 'change/update' any customer info on my site so why can I not access their password.
This is extremely frustrating as the current process assumes computer literate users and that the system 'Forgotten Password' tokens work - the latter is not always the case and I have a current support request to this effect.
I would appreciate someone who knows the system well to explain to me the rationale behinds BC's change to password access adn what is the reality re how this enhances cuntomer security when the systems administrator has access to all that customers data.

Hey Richard. I think you miss understand here.
Most secure systems - no password in the admin. You have the button in the admin to send a email for the reset request. This will also show (if you sort the site correctly) on the form they use to login.
Both use the reset email and again, ensuring that is set up correct is something you have access to and ensure has the elements and worded as you need them to be.
If people keep forgetting their password that to be quite frank it is their problem, why should a system become less secure because of this?
Do good systems do this? No , should they change? heck no.
Set up the processes to so the flow is easy to reset (which you have control over) and if they keep forgetting then they need to change them to something they wont forget.
Are you going to contact Apple and their Itunes store and ask them for your password? They wont know and not provide it to you, they do not know as it is in encrypted.
Like any systems you may also be aware of they say "No customer support respresentitive will ask for your pasword or provide you with your password". Etc.
This will not change.

Why can't I set a second alert on my iPad calendar app?

Why can't I set a second alert on my iPad calendar app? I can set two alerts per event on the iPhone version, but the iPad version doesn't show the option that pops up after entering a first alert on the iPhone.

You are talking about the forward, back, mail and trash can icons in the Notes App - correct?
I've gone through restarting it and followed the instructions from the person last week.
Have you restarted the iPad - is that what you mean? Have you quit and then restarted the app? Quit the app, and restart the iPad. It's worth a try.
Double tap the home button and your recent apps will appear at the bottom. Hold down on the Notes app icon until it begins to wiggle. Then tap the minus sign to quit the app. Then tap the screen. Now restart the iPad.
Carolyn explained this above (restart) but here it is again....
Hold down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and slide to shut off. Hold down on the sleep button until the Apple logos appears then let go of the button and the iPad will restart. See if that helps.

Why can't I set month,date and time on my imessage?

Why can't I set month, date and time on my imessage?

The way the date/time was displayed was changed in iOS7. There had been numerous complaints about not having a date/time stamp on all posts, so it was changed to display the time for all by sliding the post to the left. They left the date stamp to show differently. I couldn't tell you what it does for posts more than a week old, as I never save my messages that long.
Meg's post provides for software where you could move the SMS to the computer and it should contain a full date/time stamp on it.

Why can't you set iCal alarm to email on iOS?

I set iCal on OSX to email me ~12hrs before events, then alert me again 1hr and 30min before. Why can't you set email alerts on iCal for iOS and why are the alerts limited to only two? I feel like the features on iCal for iOS and OSX should be similar but they are not.

Why can't i set up my ipad mail?

Why can't i set up mail on ipad?

This is different from not being able to set up the account.
When you created the account, was access to the incoming mail server confirmed or was an error message provided?
If the account was set up successfully, the email account provider may by having a problem with their incoming mail server.
If not, try deleting and recreating the account.

Why can't I set up my AirPort Extreme as a wireless jumper from my Cable internet router ?

Why can't I set up my AirPort Extreme as a wireless jumper from my Cable internet router ?

If it "joined" my network is it extending the coverage of my wifi network ?
Please review my previous answer in the post above......
But, the Express does not "extend" or "repeat" the wireless signal when it joins a network. In other words, wireless devices cannot connect to the AirPort Express the way that you have it set up.
If so can my Airport Extreme be set up to "join" my network and also extend the coverage of my network ?
Again, please review my previous answer in the first reply above......
The AirPort Extreme does not have this type of capability.
If you have both an AirPort Extreme and an AirPort Express.....my suggestion....again, found above in a previous post.....
It takes a minimum of two Apple routers to extend a signal using wireless.
You could do this by connecting the AirPort Extreme to your cable router using a permanently installed Ethernet cable and then configuring the AirPort Extreme to "create a wireless network".
Then add an AirPort Express in a location where it can pick up a strong wireless signal from the AirPort Extreme and configure the Express to "extend a wireless network".
You would not use the wireless on your cable router at all, unless you wanted to reserve that network for guests or something similar.

Why can't I set up POP/IMAP emails for my Muse website in Business Catalyst? I don't have the option 'use this service for email as well as hosting the website' under Advanced options

Why can't I set up POP/IMAP emails for my Muse website in Business Catalyst? I don't have the option 'use this service for email as well as hosting the website' under Advanced options.
Is this due to my Hosting Plan? Appreciate any answers.

Your site is a CCM site which is on a WebBasics plan (This plan does not provide hosted emails on Business Catalyst).
If you want to create email addresses on this site, you would need to setup your email server elsewhere and configure the MX records on your site to point to that external mail server.
If you want to use Business Catalyst's hosted email services you would need to use a WebBasics+ or higher siteplan. To upgrade your CCM free site, Access your site's admin area -> Site Management -> Upgrade Now -> choose the desired site plan and billing frequency -> Add personal and credit card details -> Submit.
Please refer this article about setting up email accounts on your BC site: http://docs.businesscatalyst.com/user-manual#!/site-settings/email-users
For setting up records to point to external mail server, check out http://docs.businesscatalyst.com/user-manual#!/site-settings/email-users/creating-inboxes- for-your-users
