Spotlight Search
The Spotlight Search setting lets you specify the content areas searched by Search, and
rearrange the order of the results.
Set which content areas are searched by Search: Go to Settings > General > Spotlight Search,
then select the items to search. You can also change the order of the result categories.
Auto-Lock
Locking iPod touch turns o the display in order to save the battery and prevent unintended
operation of iPod touch.
Set the amount of time before iPod touch locks: Go to Settings > General > Auto-Lock, then
choose a time.
Passcode Lock
By default, iPod touch doesn’t require you to enter a passcode to unlock it.
Set a passcode: Go to Settings > General > Passcode Lock and set a 4-digit passcode. To
increase security, turn o Simple Passcode and use a longer passcode.
If you forget your passcode, you must restore the iPod touch software. See Updating and
restoring iPod touch software on page 135.
Allow access when iPod touch is locked: Go to Settings > General > Passcode Lock. You can use
the following without unlocking iPod touch:
•
Siri (see Setting options for Siri on page 38)
•
Passbook (see Chapter 13, Passbook, on page 68)
Erase data after ten failed passcode attempts: Go to Settings > General > Passcode Lock and
tap Erase Data. After ten failed passcode attempts, all settings are reset, and all your information
and media are erased by removing the encryption key to the data (which is encrypted using
256-bit AES encryption).
Restrictions
You can set restrictions for some apps and for purchased content. For example, parents can
restrict explicit music from being seen on playlists, or prevent the installation of apps.
Turn on restrictions: Go to Settings > General > Restrictions, then tap Enable Restrictions. You’ll
be asked to dene a restrictions passcode that’s necessary in order to change the settings you
make. This is distinct from the passcode for unlocking iPod touch.
Important: If you forget your restrictions passcode, you must restore the iPod touch software.
See Updating and restoring iPod touch software on page 135.
You can set restrictions for the following apps:
•
Safari
•
Camera (and apps that use the camera)
•
FaceTime
•
iTunes Store
•
iBookstore
•
Siri
