Using your Apple iPad 2 as your international passport? Is that possible?

The revolution of Apple’s technologies is making the world go around so much easier. Maybe some of you who doesn’t like big and fast changes won’t like this, but revolution of gadgets is on a big step to save us a lot of time during the regular life activities, which is a great thing if you ask me. Why? Because you can use your free time to spend it on something you like to do. I read a few days ago about some Canadian man, who forgot his passport, and he managed to cross the border into the US using a copy of the document he had scanned on to his iPad.

The company save us from that awkward moment when you realize that your passport is lying in the drawers, just when you are standing on the airport with a ticket in your hand and red cheeks of blame came right from your face. So, I am sure that every one of you was at least once in this uncomfortable situation, but with new technologies you can just sit, relax and enjoy your holiday.

Perhaps You Know How to enable data protection on your Apple iPhone 4S or iPad 2?

Take security seriously and interested in how to enable data protection on your iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad? The good news is that if you use a passcode, iOS 4 data protections protects the hardware encryption keys on your device, making

email, attachments, and 3rd party apps (if they enable it) much more secure. The bad news is, if you updated your iPhone 3GS, iPod Touch 3, or original iPad from iOS 3 to iOS 4, data protection might not have been turned on even with the passcode. Not to worry, we’ll walk you through all the possibilities, after the break!

How to set a passcode

If you haven’t got a passcode lock set up on your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad, that’s the place to start.

• How to set up a passcode lock.

Bonus Tip: You can set your passcode lock to automatically erase your device after 10 failed attempts. That’s great if you ever lose your device but if you have young children who can get ahold of it, you might find yourself restoring your wiped device with frustrating frequency. Security is constantly at war with convenience, make your choice.

How to set a stronger passcode

With iOS 4 you can switch the passcode from simple 4-digit numeric to full on alphanumeric for seriously stronger protection. 

• From the Settings: General: Passcode Lock screen…
• Switch the Simple Passcode toggle to OFF
• Enter your current 4-digit numeric passcode to verify
• Enter a new, strong alphanumeric passcode

A combination of numbers, letters, and symbols is good, pseudorandom is even better but the difficulty in remembering it probably outweighs any benefit.

How to check for data protection

Now that your passcode is enabled, check to make sure you have data protection on. (It should be on by default for all iPhone 4, iPod touch 4, and iPad2 devices, but if you updated your iPhone 3GS, iPod touch 3, or original iPad from iOS 3 to iOS 4 it might not be.)

• From the Settings: General: Passcode Lock screen…
• Scroll down to the very bottom and look for the text “Data protection is enabled”

If it’s there, you’re good to go. If not, keep reading!

How to enable data protection if it’s not on by default

Remember, this is only for iPhone 3GS (2009), iPod touch 3 (2009), and original iPad (2010) if “Data protection enabled” isn’t showing up on the Settings screen.
Restore your device from backup

Make sure you backup your device before restoring, then choose restore from backup to get all your data back onto your device. Once it’s done, sync and then check the Setting screen again to make sure data protection is now enabled.
Phew!
