Just say "there's a ton of dick pics on there I don't want anyone to see!" People get really weird about dicks for some reason.

You must be some kind of porn noob. Keeping it all out in the open? It's almost like you want people to look at it! You keep it Touch ID protected in Dropbox. That way you have the same porn stash on all your devices

Why waste the bandwidth, deal with slow circuits, and or affect the throughput of others who might be mad gaming in other areas? At my current storage levels I'd be paying for Dropbox. I've already paid for 128gb. Seems wasteful. And chewing bandwidth over and over for the same video you downloaded once only to upload and then download again. Yikes.

I had a little fun with the title, and the Pun is somewhat intended. I have about 40gb of really personal content (i.e. porn) on my iPP that I moved from my Samsung tab.

Problem: Everyone who sees or knows that I got a new iPP 9.7 wants to touch it, play with it, and basically try it out. But I don't want them to see all my personal content. I can go into iTunes and remove those folders, and then re-sync later, but these requests have been random and ongoing since the launch. It seems rude to say "Why not go to the Apple Store and try one there?"

Two questions: How do you treat others who want to go through your iPP - do you allow it or is it your private world?

If you do allow it, how do you treat sensitive content?
I'm just laughing at the headline "9.7 incher"

Maybe I just can't understand because I personally don't watch all 40 gigs of porn per jerk, so my solutions might not work the best for you.

In the last update apple brought Touch ID to notes. Only makes sense for them to do it for photos too
 
It would be nice if they added a guest mode that you could put the iPad in so that someone else can use it and not get into your stuff, and then after they are done everything they did will be erased. They have had that in OSX for years, so perhaps it will come to iOS at some point.

What is super hi-def 8K 3D virtual porn, surely those file sizes must be as big as the participants implants.

I do not allow it or my phone. The Apple Store will be more than glad to allow them to play.

If your friend dropped and broke your 9.7 would they have the money to replace it?

This is why I now wish for iOS10 to have multiple account support, just like OS X.
I thought this feature would be unnecessary, but I realize its usefulness when my sister wants to borrow my Android tablet, which has multiple account support. Now she can use it, with her own account, without me risking her seeing all my stuff.

This feature should've been thought out for at least the iPad Pros. Come on Apple.
They purposely don't offer this because they see iPads as personal devices. They want each member of the family to have to purchase their own machine rather than being able to share easily.
 
That's a dead giveaway that you have an iPad full of porn!
Who cares? Everybody watches porn, so the only thing to be embarassed about is that the user is not smart enough to stream it for free online. :p (Or that he lives in a cave without internet... But I don't think hermits would start these threads)

You can't understand because your goal is to drive by and snark as much as you can On each and every thread without conceptualizing what others are saying. Quality over quantity. Try it.

I'll leave you be.

And where did you come across this insight? Not having multiple profiles is one of the biggest glaring flaws for iOS on the iPad especially considering it has all my phones data.

I'm glad this thread exists because it's one of the reasons why my iPad cannot replace my Mac. On the Mac, it's easy to create an encrypted sparse bundle disk image and dump all of your "sensitive files" in a password protected folder.

As far as I know, there is no native iOS implementation of this functionality so you're forced to fiddle with 3rd party apps and cloud storage solutions that cost more money.

This could be easily fixed by allowing TouchID protection on any app or file we choose.

I just fiddled with the settings on drop box and you can set a pass code and use touch ID to access your Dropbox files it s all or nothing as far as I can tell you cant just have specific folders
 
I have my password files and medical records in a encrypted folder in Dropbox using boxcrypt. Does Dropbox support touched yet so if I set it to ask for a password all the time I can use the fingerprint reader?
It does support touch ID, and unlike other locking apps, doesn't still show the last thing you were looking at when previewing your active apps. I hate an app that's supposed to be "secure" and password protected, that still shows the last screen you had open when shuffling through your active apps.

Filebrowser lets you copy from network shares so I just grab the few things I need (which includes TV shows, etc.) and copy them there. I'm not a heavy video watcher though, so YMMV.

I have Filebrowser. So you're saying that we can save large chunks of files in "My Files" and password protect the app?

Right, but you then have to pay Dropbox monthly. The OP wants something like this on the 128GB of local storage he paid for.
 
Exactly PatriotInvasion - I do not want my personal content on a foreign server. I do not want to pay to store it. I do not want to pay to retrieve it every time I want it. I do not want it to be sluggish or slow or interfered with by a lousy connection. I do not want to flood my internal network with packets where others may be gaming. In other words, I bought 128Gb of storage to store something locally, and that's my choice, and my architecture.

I was wondering how other people handled the situation where interest in the device leads to uncomfortable questions around "hey can I play with that new iPad for a few minutes?"

It would seem the options are: No, you can't see my iPad. Yes, let me prepare it for your use (then unsync things).

My Samsung had a Guest Mode, so I do like the information revealed in this thread about that possibility coming soon. That's a great find.

Yeah, it has its own folder setup within the app. I've saved about 10GB in there of videos/TV shows before. I'm not sure about password protecting the app though?
 
Did no one post that he's bragging? But yeah, everyone wants to see my iPP 12.9.. Show them a movie or two and they are seriously impressed.. Especially when I'm browsing the web, reading an iBook and watching a movie at the same time..
 
Just put it in a video app that's a few pages back in a folder. This isn't a complicated issue. And I don't understand people being so intrigued by an iPad in 2016.

Agree, if you seen the air 2, it almost seems looks identical...how can you be intrigued....lol
