My iphone is passcode protected, but If i lose my iphone, I don't want someone to be able to restore it. Is there a way that I can put a password on it through itunes, so that if I, or anyone tries to restore it, it will ask for a passcode first?

I've downloaded a few movies from iTunes, and one was able to be put on my iPhone, but the other two will not. I never looked too far into it- just figured it was a bug- but I recently have purchased a movie I want on my phone and found out I can use the "Create iPod or iPhone" capability in the advanced menu. The only problem is... I can't use it. It's un-clickable. My iTunes is up-to-date and I made sure i'm selecting the movie I want to convert, but it still won't make itself an option to click.

I just bought the new 27 inch iMac I have been using Time Machine on my macbook4 pro and used the backup with migration assistant to the new iMac. When I did the restore, everything went fine except iTunes does not recognize my iPhone or iPad. It does not show up at all when plugged into the iMac. The one thing I had to do when using the restore was change the name of my user account info as it would not transfer to the iMac with the same user info. Anyone got a clue on what I should do to get iTunes to recognize my iPhone and iPad?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI had to get a new iPhone 4 today because I dropped the old one in water.When I go to set up the new phone, I have the option to restore from my backup from about a week ago. So I did that...it restores the phone and then usually it goes to the page where you can see the contents of your iPhone and sync music and apps. I can't get past the restore "Set Up Your iPhone" page. I called Apple Support and they do not understand what I'm trying to say and keep telling me to restore my phone. I DID 5 TIMES! It won't let me go beyond that option screen.

I haven't seen a response from Apple. When I go into iTunes it shows that my backup will be encrypted with a password. I have NEVER backed it up to iTunes, only to the cloud. When I try to disable the encrypt option it asks for a password that I have never set. Many others have said to try every password you've ever had for iTunes as well as your security code on your phone. Oh and why not "000" and "1234" while you are at it. None of these work. It isn't the end of the world for me because I still have the phone and it is backed up on the cloud, but what is the deal Apple? How can I get or set my password since I have never set it in the past?

Is there a way to define a password on any USB key, so the computer asks for a password each time the key is mounted on the desktop ? Will it also work on any PC (not just Macs) ?
I suspect it isn't currently possible.
If it isn't possible, how do you protect the files on a USB key ? I don't want to compress the files and encrypt them...
I forgot my password to the encryption to the backup data for my iphone in iTunes. I am unable to access the backup data.

I've just purchased a MacBook Pro a few months ago. There are sometimes I lend my MBP to my friends. However, there is a few applications I don't want them to open without my permission (such as iPhoto, iTunes). I can simply hide it away, but there are some know how to find it. I really wanna create a password for those apps. Is there any way?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI know this has been asked before, but I can't seem to find an adequate answer. In both Lotus Notes and MS Outlook, one is prompted for a password on opening (not just mail synching) that prevents access to your downloaded emails. Apple Mail doesn't seem to allow that...the password synchs only to the POP server, thus making your local email readable to anyone.
I've heard the point about users and accounts, but that creates even more headache for me. I've got a Mac Pro, which is my system, but also the primary "home media center" for the family household. So I want iTunes, movies, iPhoto, etc, always available. Setting up different "accounts" and users for everyone creates a nightmare to share and organize the "public" apps and files. I also don't want to "password" protect the account and system, as that still limits the access to "public" apps. And having a separate account for me, still means I have the headache of synching these "public apps" to my account.
This would all be much simpler if I could have Mail require a password upon opening. I do still want my email private. I don't think this is such an extravagant use case...seems like a lot of folks are looking for something similar. It's the only thing I'm missing from Windows XP.
So has anyone sorted a means of doing this?
I recently synced my hotmail to my mac mail, which is all great apart from one thing. My macbook is shared with my housemates and anyone of them can boot up mail and read all my emails etc. Is there a way of password protecting the app on startup?

I'm a teacher. I use OS X at home and Win XP at work. I have a USB drive that contains all my materials.
