IPhone :: How To Restrict Access To Settings With Diverse Passcode
Apr 3, 2012
We are introducing iPhone into the business but have a question regarding security. We need to restrict user access to the settings on the iphone probably via a passcode. We also need the user to have access to their emails (which when using exchange enforces a passcode). Is this the same passcode that is used for both by default? Because if it is then by allowing the user access to their emails they would by default have access to the code that allows them to change the settings of the iphone? How I can achieve something similar.
Does anyone know how to set my phone access to my e-mail a/c so that it does not automatically allow access. Is it possible to restrict access i.e. with a password?
i don't understand why it is not possible to restrict access to messages and mail, this feature is important in different cases like:
you give you child a phone and don't want to text all day with their friends, also if your kid is less than 13 years you could block this feature so that he can't chat with strangers.
also this feature is important because if you enable this feature you could have 2 different passwords for accesing messages or mail, this is important when your friends or family knows your main password but they don't know they password for restricted apps.
why would some one wants to block Internet, camera, safari, and other apps but you can't block messages or mail?
We all hand our phones to friends, colleagues, children, for them to use for various reasons but I can't be the only one that doesn't want everyone I hand my phone to to have access to my personal messages and information.
Looking for a guest user pass code solution that would allow the owner of the phone to choose what the guest has access to, like the guest user on a computer.
When at work I always enable the passcode so that my co workers don't start playing my games and reading text messages. Lately they have been getting mad at me for putting the passcode on there and they know that after 5 wrong guesses it locks you out of your phone for 5 minutes. Is there any way to edit the files that control the passcode and remove the setting that locks the phone after 5 wrong guesses? I just don't wanna wait 5 minutes to use my phone after they do it on purpose.
A pickpocket took my iPhone when I tried to photograph him, and slammed it in the asphalt The screen and display is broken and the touch-function won't work. But someone is still in there! However, when I plug the phone to my computer(not a Mac) iTunes recognizes there is a unit there, but says I need to type in the 4-digit passcode on the iPhone to get access to it in iTunes. But the touch-screen is still broken, so I can't type in anything. Any solution? Can I type in the code or apple-password somewhere else?
So I dropped my iphone 3gs in a lake and it wouldn't turn on for about three months so now that it has turned on I can't remember the passcode on it, I know you can restore it but I don't really want to do that as I have pictures and notes and messages I want to keep, is there anything I can do?? or is there anyway i can access my pictures and my notes and messages?
Changed my passcode lock from letters back to numbers. I know what numbers i picked for the lock but the phone won't let me in! Tried a number of combinations but none worked! Has it ever happened that an iPhone won't let you in with the correct passcode? Does it usually malfunction when you switch back to numbers? And most importantly - is the only solutioin to reset the phone???
My mother (age 68), keeps changing her password and forgets it. She also turns on sim lock without remembering the password. Can't explain why she does it. This has been a weekly event since getting the phone. She did the same to new hp pc. After 6 hours with tech support they deemed it owner damage. After sending it back and $400 it's fixed. We set it up with an account for her and a locked admin account. This won't happen again to the pc.
I've looked through all the docs and can't find any way to lock the settings. There must be. What if your kid watching a video or playing a game- goes in and starts pushing buttons in settings?
I'm trying to setup a new exchange email account on an iPhone 4. This is normally pretty straight forward, however, on this particular phone I can't get into the Mail, Contacts, Calendars settings. When I go into Settings and click on it, the screen flicks up into the settings for a second and then boots me out of settings and back to the main display
I have tried restarting the phone to no avail and checked to make sure it has the latest software update. Is there anything else I can try before I resort to resetting back to default settings?
i am having trouble connecting my wifes iphone4 to our home wifi both my wifes phone and mine(iphone4) are running the lastest software my phone connects but hers wont?i have tried turning phone and router on and off,tried reseting network settings on phone but still no good this used to connect untill last week when it was connected ti itunes
I'm having an issue with accessing my privacy settings on my Iphone 5. Every time i click on privacy, my phone freezes for a few seconds and crashes back to the home screen. Sometimes it will stay frozen on the home screen till i reboot it.
When trying to allow viber to access the microphone in privacy settings, the appĀ does not appear for me to allow them permission so I cannot allow permission....! why and what to do?
iPhone 4s, ios 5.1, Verizon customer. I have never had an issue until this phone. Why I can see the "delete from server" option, but I can't check it? It's really annoying to delete emails from my phone and then have to go back and delete from my computer.
Every time I delete an e-mail, whether it be on my phone or computer I get a notification that there is a new e-mail in the deleted items folder. Is there a way that I can restrict the notifications to only the inbox? Essentially I am being notified that I deleted an e-mail, which is annoying.
I need to be able to restrict mobile network outgoing calls. I want the iphone to receive calls, but dialing out needs a password or is somehow disabled. Ideally this would be done adding "phone" to the restrictions list so that making a call would require a password, but unfortunately Apple decided not to have "Phone" listed in settings>general>restrictions.Any ideas/workarounds/jaibroken apps?
tell me the steps to locating the APN Settings that I was told should be in the Advanced Options menu- but isn't there? I've got a BB Curve 8530 and need to make sure the TCIP selection is correct.
Using Google Sky Map on my LG G3, and there is a search function in there, which on other phones with a physical menu key (like samsung phones), is accessible via that...
As there is no physical key on the LG G3, how I can access this menu. It also contains the apps settings as well....
