Being my address book so private..

Can I set that the access to it asks a password or something similar,
so only I can access?

(in General\Restriction you can disable the visibility of a certain
program, but the address book - that is "Contact" - doesn't appear..)

There is an App called "Private Contacts"

You asked this in an iPad group. Are you referring to "Contacts"
on the iPad?

Settings -> General -> Passcode Lock Makes _everything_ private.

Settings -> iCloud -> Find My iPad gives you the option of erasing
your address book if you ever suspect it might be at risk of becoming
non-private.

Yes

>Settings -> General -> Passcode Lock


Just activated, but it doesn't block the access of the apps.. what
does it do exactly?

> Makes _everything_ private.


What do you mean? (please keep in mind I only want that all the other
users don't access my Contacts if they use my iPad, for example asking
a password before to enter)

It requires you to enter a passcode (i.e., a password) to access anything
on the iPad if the iPad is asleep or turned off.

The iPad is not designed to be a multi-user device; there are no provisions
to lock out apps, except for a select few through the Restrictions
settings. However, Contacts is not one of those apps. There may be a
jailbreak solution for your problem, though, but I don't know.

Only have email address and other non-sensitive info in contacts and
keep other info in "Private Contacts". PC requires aits own password to
open.
