"If you select Trust, the computer will be trusted indefinitely."

Sep 27, 2013 7:23 AM in response to wjostenby SueK.,My iphone5 asks the Trust/Untrust question each time I connect it to the same computer. So it appears that it only retains that setting for individual sessions/connections.

Sep 27, 2013 1:07 PM in response to wjostenby albe69,hello
no
that info, apparently confirmed by the ht5868, is wrong.
with some pcs, luckly, that prompt still there any connection
for sure, some configuration options about that prompt are needed in the next ios release

Oct 1, 2013 2:21 PM in response to albe69by dg646,I second that-- I accidentally hit "trust" on my work computer (which I never want to trust), and can't find any way to untrust it.
I'd like an option to "never trust this computer" so I don't need to keep seeing the prompt, and to manage trusted computers going forward.

Feb 27, 2014 1:03 PM in response to SproutAaronby skier31415,Absolutely a security issue. It is too easy to click "trust" accidentally when the popup asks every time you connect. If you do, it is irreversible.

Mar 11, 2014 4:06 PM in response to Zonian71by msd82,I deleted /var/db/lockdown as stated in http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5335
This did work for me. All the authorizations are gone! You may need to pinpoint the correct file if you want to delete only one authorization.

Mar 25, 2014 12:20 PM in response to msd82by itsnine1six,What if you want to "trust this computer" AFTER you've hit "dont trust"?
I accidently hit "dont trust" when i first plugged my deivce into the computer. Ive uninstalled itunes and it still wont give me the propmt.
Will deleting the lockdown folder solve this issues for me?

Mar 25, 2014 2:53 PM in response to itsnine1sixby msd82,I am afraid you will have to try it, if you want to know.
You could just rename the folder, so that you can try and still don't loose anything.

Jul 6, 2014 7:07 PM in response to msd82by daraeman,This solution worked for me ( Unplug iDevices -> Close iTunes -> delete file -> plug iDevice back in )
Also if you're looking to only delete one device's authorization instead of all of them, then just match the file creation times against the day you "trusted".
