I never thought I’d need this until I discovered that my 2 year old daughter knows hows to operate my iPhone. At 2 years old she knows how to slide the slider with her little fingers, open Photos and browse the photos, which of course I dont mind but occassionally she goes into PHONE and manages to make calls and this is where I draw the line. I’ve now had to resort to putting a Passcode Lock on my phone. She still tries though. Here is a tutorial on how to enable the Passcode Lock. There is a nice feature as well in that after 10 wrongs attempts then all your data will be erased, which is ONLY useful if your iPhone gets stolen.

How to enable a Passcode Lock.

  1. Goto Settings —-> General —–> Passcode Lock
  2. Punch in a 4 digit number
  3. DO NOT enable “Erase Data”

Does your child know how to operate your iPhone?

Image Capture

Those of us who use a Mac with their iPhone probably grab photos using iPhoto. It’s an obvious choice since your Mac already comes with it. However, if you have a lot of photos, you may not necessarily want to fire up iPhoto to import one or two pictures from your iPhone.

Instead of iPhoto, try using Image Capture. It’s light-weight, straight forward, and it’s included on your Mac. Best of all, you can simply drag a photo out of Image Capture right onto your desktop. You can even delete photos on your iPhone. Now that’s handy!
