Why is there not an app for locking folders?

I have a son who is both gifted and on the autism spectrum. There are a lot of times when he is completely overwhelmed, and he has learned to find a way to escape from the situation through reading or through games. We would like to use his iPad at school, but he has games downloaded on it that he can use at home during appropriate times. To keep him from trying to escape during school into these games, I really need to be able to lock the game folder. However, I have found that an app like this is only available if I were to jailbreak his iPad. I do not want to do this! Why can't someone create an app like this for iTunes?

Official 3rd party apps don't have access to private iPhone API's - primarily for security reasons. Hacking an iPhone - with the cutsie term for this "jailbreak", removes all the built-in security included with iOS making an iOS device as insecure as Android and Windoze garbage. This is what allows an iOS device to download and install unofficial apps from untrusted sources which can include malware and spyware.
Such an official option must come from Apple.

    I would like to know why I can not download apps for other apple products.  Mac Book Pro's selection is quite limited. 

    The games available for the iPad from the App Store will not be compatible with any computer other than an iDevice. To check for available games/Apps for the MacBook Pro you would need to check the Mac App Store, assuming of course that you are running at least OS 10.6.6.

  • Why is there not a selection for 2-sided pdf files for the dj 3052a?

    my op system is Windows XP

    Hi comeonman,
    Automatic two sided printing is not supported by your printer, however you may be able to do it Manually.
    The instructions below were provided by ShlomiL in this post
    Here  is a link to manual duplex instructions by using the odd / even method. The instructions are for Mac OS but should be somewhat similar for your windows XP.
    Also you may use the Two Sided Printing Software
    http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software12/COL35975/mp-88750-2/HP_Two-sided_Printing.dmg
    you can access this tool by clicking the PDF button at the bottom of the print dialog, then select Two-Sided Printing and follow the on-screen instructions.
    If I helped you at all it would be great if you clicked the blue kudos star!
    If I solved your post please mark it as solved to help others.

  • Why isnt there a facetime app for the iphone 4s?

    Because all my friends have the app and my phone doesn't....

    Your friends must have a ipod.
    I read the manual for my iphone and it said that the facetime app is merged with the phone app so when you click on the phone app and click on a contact it should say facetime!
    WARNING: make sure your friends have facetime setup!

  • I'm using spice mx-f1 phone and there is no app for flash light (hardware) and not in market place too.

  • Is there a DJ app for the Ipad that will read the "start" and "stop time" setting for each individual song, as they are set in the song Options screen in Itunes?

    Is there a DJ app for the Ipad that will read the "start" and "stop time" setting for each individual song, as they are set in the song Options screen in Itunes? The Ipod Touch, by itself does not allow cross-fading, therefore when the stop time is edited short, the song jusst truncates then goes to the next song. I tried the DJay ap and while it would crossfade, it would NOT read the song settings for the stop marker. So now I want to try and Ipad and see if there is an app that will READ the Itune stop settings within the song. I do NOT want an app that will allow me to DO the stop marker. I want an app that will READ the stop marker from the song as it is set in Itunes.

    Itunes provides the option for setting the Start and Stop times of each music track.  However, the start and stop times do not synchronize to the iPhone.  I don't understand why this option is even available as it doesn't work when listening to music on the phone.  I have not found another application that will support the start and stop time markets.  I have searched quite a bit for this but can't find anything.  I hope we can find something. 

  • Why are there no CC Apps in my Creative Cloud Folder?

    Why are there no CC Apps in my Creative Cloud Folder? Just finished cramming Adobe Creative Cloud Flash Professional info. Tried to use it and found that it wasn't in my Apps Folder, nor anywhere else. During my search I discovered that none of the other CC apps were there either. All CS6 Pro apps are there, but no CC.
    IMac 21.5" desktop;  OSX 10.8.5;   2.5 GHz Intel Core i5:   1333 MHz;   4 GB DDR3;   500 GB HD + 500 GB external HD 

    Could you try to scroll down a bit and look into the "Find New Apps" section. I have attached a screenshot for your reference.
    In case you still do not see any CC applications, login to https://creative.adobe.com/products and try to download any CC app and then check if it gets installed and you see it under the "Your apps" section of CC desktop app.

  • Why DDL during SELECT is possible. Or why SELECT does not put a table lock?

    This is a question to people who really knows Oracle internals or/and RDB theory.
    (The question is relocated from another thread for not hijacking on that's original question.)
    Why DDL during SELECT is possible? Or why SELECT does not put TM 2 Row Shared lock on table(s)?
    This not locking causes a possibility while one session is running a long select, another can truncate and even drop table(s) that are being read by the first session.
    I think, humbly assume, that Oracle does not put TM 2 lock on tables, that are being simply SELECTed, by some significant technical reason. But I do not know this reason. If somebody knows please shed a light.
    Also, if you know that this behavior is totally correct from perspective of RDB theory, please explain me.
    I'll try to explain my point.
    It is a matter of data consistency and integrity that is supported in Oracle everywhere except this place.
    a) If one session is reading data from moment T and other session changes data on its way at moment T1, the first session wont read that changed data, it will read the data that was there on moment T.
    This is declared as Read Consistency principle.
    b) If one session is changing data, and another session tries to truncate or drop table - the second session will fail with error ORA-00054: resource busy and acquire with NOWAIT specified.
    This is declared as Data Integrity principle.
    c) But why not to follow the above principles in case when one session reads data and another session tries to truncate or drop table (or do other DDL operations)?
    It is counter-intuitive. Why not to put TM 2 (SS) lock during SELECT execution that would prevent DDLs on this table?
    What I only can assume is that this is only because some technical difficulty or limitation.
    What is this limitation or other reason in favor of which Oracle sacrificed consistency in this case?

    Aman,
    There was no need to clarify how DML lock works, I know that.
    Also I know that in Oracle a Select does not lock neither table rows nor table itself.
    The reason I mentioned it because you brought up the word change which is far better suited for DML's than DDL's as the former has a requirement to have its Undo preserved.
    Again, my question was why Select does not protect itself by locking table(s), partitions and indexes?Protect from what? There is nothing wrong with doing a select. What would happen with a select doing a lock on the table before being executed in its entirety (forget DDL and DML altogether for a moment) ? State one good reason that there should be a lock for the select. If it has to, it would be always isn't it?
    The keyword here is concurrency and that's what is the best when the number of locks obtained are lesser at non-required operations. A select doesn't change anything that's why in Oracle, there is no read-level lock.I am not saying about row locks while reading. They are not needed because Undo resolves concurrency.Only in the case of DML where the change is still active and the buffers are dirty. With a DDL, its an implicit commit.
    I am asking why Select does not enqueue one, only one lock per object that participates in the Select?Again, my question back to you is, what good you would get from it? What purpose it would solve?
    It is not very expensive, I suppose. But it would protect from DDLs that can destroy the Select's result set. You have seen in your system and in my demo(and that's what the the question was on the other thread also) that the result remains intact and its not a behavior from now. Its the same since the time I have started learning Oracle. Can you explain that why you think that the result of select statement would be wrong for a drop table? I believe, its been stated repeatedly that if the select has no requirement to look back the table, it would get completed. Only if the select needs to access the table again, it would fail. So even if we consider your explanation, there is no wrong result shown at all. Once the session encounters that the table is dropped for the statement, the execution stops right away. So where is the destroyed result?
    Yes, it is less dangerous when Select does not lock table comparing with what would happen with DMLs in such case (that is why DMLs protect themselves by TM 3), it affects only the Select and its consumer, but still ... I don't understand this Oracle's decision. What is a reasoning behind it?.As I said, to improve concurrency.
    Aman....

  • HT2736 Why can I not GIFT apps using my current iTunes balance???

    Why can I not GIFT apps using my current iTunes balance???  It allows you to pay using credit card, paypal, or a new iTunes card, but why can we not gift apps and songs to each other using the current balance we have on our accounts from previous iTunes gift card purchases etc.?
    Either I am missing something very obvious here, or Apple's greedy stance on gifting is actually creating less usage of the feature, because I for one would not think twice about purchasing gifts for people with a current balance that is already accounted for, but when it comes to adding money or using a card, it just feels like a new payment, and a bigger monetary burden.
    Please let me know how to do this if it is possible, and if it is not, then PLEASE FIX ?

    I agree with some points that is how it works. Because apple do things they want....
    It's quite nice that way being so unique and remarkable. However it is so inconvenient for users who sometimes just want to gift things without a credit card or such whatever.  Because sometimes it's meaningless to have balance when you aren't able to spend it.
    The point is made. Many are not happy with it but that's life. Just take it or leave it...

  • Will there be an app for my touch G3 slider in the future?

    I would like to put Firefox on myTouch 3G Slide.
    Now there is not an App for it. Will there be?

    We're not currently working on bringing Firefox to phones like the myTouch 3G Slide that use ARM11/ARMv6 processors. (Firefox is not yet small or fast enough to run on these processors.) However, we are starting work on a version of the "Firefox Home" sync app that may be available on these phones, and will let you sync your tabs, bookmarks, and history from your computer to your phone.

  • When is iCloud going to fix there SPAM filters already?! Why is there not an Allow list in iCloud?!

    When is iCloud going to fix there SPAM filters already?
    ! I have received 3 consecutive emails from the same domain although I marked the first one to arrive as SPAM. Truth be told none of them should get through. Why is there not an Allow list in iCloud?!

    They say it can take up to 15 minutes for the SPAM filters to start working after you mark them as SPAM but I was receiving these at a greater than 15 minute interval.
    Don't they do an MX record check on these emails to check if they are SPAM?
    My guess is Apple has hired a 3rd party business to do SPAM scanning before the SPAM ever gets to Apple. They need to get on them.

  • Aperture 3 update.  Why is there still no eraser for the retouch tool?

    Perhaps I'm missing something, but: Why is there still no eraser for the retouch tool?
    I realize you can delete retouch strokes, but they are in linear order so you often have to delete useful ones to go far enough back to get the one that you've decided no longer works.
    I would rather have the ability to erase strokes back to the original image, much like the way the History Brush works in Photoshop, and indeed the eraser tool works in many other Aperture bricks.
    Example, I retouch an eye, and then move on to retouch an ear.  Then I decide I don't like the eye brush strokes.  In order to remove one stroke on the eye retouch, I have to delete all the successful brush strokes I've made to the ear (i.e. those that came after the stroke I wish to remove from the eye).  This is needlessly complicated and inefficient.
    Many of other bricks in Aperture have an eraser tool to selectively remove brushstrokes.  Why not the retouch tool?
    Also, many other bricks in Aperture allow for stacking or layering bricks of the same adjustment with different brush choices.  Why not the retouch tool?
    Am I missing something?

    We are just users here.  Feature Enhancement requests need to be made via Apple's official approved channel.  You can get there from within Aperture by clicking "Aperture➞Provide Aperture Feedback".
    Retouching (and cloning) involves not just applying a transformation to the selected pixels, but basing that transformation on _other, non-contiguous_ pixels sampled from the image.  This leads me to think that there may be intractable technical problems setting up the kind of workflow you propose.
