Yes, that may be true if you don't have a card associated with your account. Most people, however, do have a credit card associated with their account and in that case in-app purchases are happily getting billed to the card on file. It is said that Apple has the largest collection of complete user information with names, addresses, phone numbers, email accounts and payment information in the world. They are probably the constant target of hacking attempts as well, let's hope they are smarter than the hackers and have very good encryption.

I heard all sorts of stories where kids racked up hundreds of Dollars with in-app purchases for some games etc. You can definitely disable use of the iTunes Store and the downloading and deleting of apps and in-app purchases. You can also turn off Safari and set content restrictions for websites, books, music, movies and even SIRI. You can also disallow changes for Contacts which makes it impossible to add, change or remove accounts in mail, contacts and calendars. Unfortunately you can't set restrictions for turning off/on things like WiFi or Bluetooth, but you can also restrict the Camera. Restrictions may also be a good tool to start teaching him to behave, just explain that unless he quits changing things he can't do certain things any more which he likes like maybe taking pictures etc. Regards, Sieghard -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Donna Sent: Saturday, November 5, 2016 5:14 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Folders & passwords I have set restrictions. Was hoping for a way to just put Settings into a folder & password protect the folder. Oh well...sigh...guess I'll just have to keep resetting the screen brightness, font size, make sure wifi is on etc etc etc..all the things that can't be controlled within restrictions..He is getting older so hopefully him causing me to go crazy won't last much longer Donna Don't think so, but you may be able to set restrictions and prevent some of the problems. Keep in mind that if you go to Settings > General > Restrictions you will b asked to set a 4-digit passcode. Make sure you don't forget it since otherwise you can't get back in there if you want to disable said restrictions..

My 6 year old keeps changing things in Settings on his iPad & taking useless photos. So what I would like to be able to do is create a folder & add apps like Settings, iTunes, App store & Camera in the folder & password protect the folder.
