Why is Bluetooth Sharing not locked?

I lock my Preference Panes with a password but I noticed that the Bluetooth Sharing checkbox remains accessible even when the Sharing Pane is locked.
Anyone know why?
Thanks

Don't know why, but I do know how to turn it off.

Why my bluetooth does not work anymore?

Why my bluetooth does not work anymore? What can I do? Before I just turn on bluetooth then turn off it, and it worked properly. Now it does not work. I don't understand why.......

Works fine for me.
What exactly is it not doing?

Why my Bluetooth can not connect with others smartphones?

I can not use the bluethooh with others cellphones even with other iPhone (just with my laptop), what should I do to have it work propaly?

Bluetooth file sharing has never been a feature of the iPhone.

Why does Home Sharing not work on iTunes 10.5.3 between a Windows PC and MacBook Pro?

I have a Dell XPS M1530 laptop which is my older laptop, consisting of all my music, apps and so on. I recently purchased a MacBook Pro (latest version) and would like to use Home Sharing to browse my music libraries and so on on there. However, I find that I am unable to do this, after several methods I have attempted in order to resolve this issue.
The Home Sharing on the left column does not appear at all.
I have upgraded iTunes on both laptops to the latest version yesterday, which I assume is iTunes version 10.5.3.
I have turned off Home Sharing, and turned it on a few times.
I use the same Apple ID to log in to Home Sharing.
I named both playlists/music libraries to the same name - not sure if this is a way to 'fix' the problem but I saw it in a thread.
I tried all the above methods, but to no avail. Home Sharing still does not work - in fact, it does not even appear on the left column; it disappears as soon as I turn on Home Sharing.
Help is very muchly appreciated.
Thank you very much!

First, each Library should have a unique name, not the same name.
Now, I wrote an extensive how-to in another thread that explains Home Sharing, Library Sharing, how to turn them on and identify them and so on. See if it helps you with your problem.

Why does home-sharing not work with Windows-PC and iMac?

Aber mit gleichem Windows-PC und MacBookPro doch? Alles im selben Neztwerk. Der PC erscheint beim iMac einfach nicht unter Freigaben. Der iMac erscheint zwar beim PC unter Freigaben, aber wenn man auf die Mediathek des iMac in der PC-Anzeige klickt, erscheint der bunte Drehball und nach einer Weile ist die Anzeige des iMac in der Rubrik Freigabe beim PC nicht mehr da. Erst nach Neustart des PC erscheint der iMac dort wieder. So nutzt mir das gar nichts. Die Einkäufe werden automatisch auf allen drei Geräten aktualisiert.
Sämtliche "Hilfen" habe ich durchsucht, aber ohne Erfolg. Es klappt einfach nicht mit der Freigabe.
Vielleicht ist es ja möglich, eine deutsche Antwort zu bekommen.
Ich kann mir auch gut vorstellen, dass ein solches Forum in Deutschland gut genutzt würde. Es ist sehr schade, dass es das nicht gibt. Aber vielleicht kommt soetwas ja irgenwann einmal. Jetzt wo auch in Deutschland an jeder Ecke Apple-Produkte zu kaufen sind und keine Exoten mehr darstellen.
Vielen Dank im voraus.

Remove the case or screen protector you just added.

Why does home sharing not work endless both itunes are open?

Why doesn't it?
I was orginally asking how to fix it, but I saw those other posts on the right hand side and I guess It was always opened on both.
Why's it have to be like that? It can't just send a signal or something?

I'm not sure it's all that realistic to expect something to work when it's turned off. Both devices need to be running iTunes in order for homesharing to work.
Mavericks server app not only doesn't need to be running, the account its on needn't even be logged in. Ideally, iTunes would use some kind of helper app to feed the data without the iTunes interface running, which is not then needed. But I can see from Apple's perspective how it might create user confusion.

Why is Family Sharing not allowing me to ask for purchases from my mom?

We recently got family sharing together and once my mom tried to click the thingy that says, "Turn on ASK TO BUY" or whatever, this happened:
"Cannot Enable Ask to Buy, Ainslie is sharing purchases from an account that's also used by another family member. Ask to Buy can only be enabled on accounts that aren't shared."
except my iPad mini uses the same Apple ID..... How do I get it to work?!

See the following for how Family Sharing works
Family purchases and payments - Apple Support
It includes
After you set up your family, any time a family member initiates a new purchase it will be billed directly to your (the administrator's) account unless that family member has gift or store credit. First, their store credit will be used to pay the partial or total bill. The remainder will bill to the family organizer's card. As the family organizer, any receipts generated by the transaction will be sent to you. Learn more about how iTunes Store purchases are billed

Why is my shared screen locked - I can't open my photos

I have a shared screen page which is frozen. When I tap the photos icon on my desktop it goes directly to the shared screen page. Any ideas?

Hard reset. Hold power and home button until device restarts and then see if it helps.

Why is home sharing not available on my iTunes?

I have logged into my apple id for both computers that i want to have home sharing on. However only one of the two computers has access to the other itunes library. What do i do so both of my computers can have acces to both itunes libraries?

When you say 'logged into my Apple ID', do you mean you turned on Home Sharing by going to File > Home Sharing > Turn on Home Sharing?
If you turn on HS for both machines on the same network, you should see your library on both machines.

I have an iPhone 5 IOS 8.1.2;
for the past 13 weeks I get the message that "this phone has not been backed up on the cloud". However, every night it is connected to wifi, phone is connected to power, and the screen is locked.

Try deleting an other icloud backup and see if it will automatically backup.

Why are my audiobooks not going through home sharing?

why are my audiobooks not going through for home sharing.

According to this thread (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3525692), it looks like you are not able to share audiobooks through Home Sharing:
You can share MP3, AIFF, WAV, AAC, and radio station links, but you cannot share iTunes Store Audio Books, Audible spoken word content, or QuickTime sound files.
You can leave iTunes feedback here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
