How can I prevent my daughter from downloading apps without my permission?

I have a very secure password and there is no possibility that she could know what it is. She is only 7 yrs. old but has a photograpic memory so I've always made sure not to let her see it when I purchase an app. Last night she purchased two apps and I can't figure out how. Anytime I purchase or even update an app, I'm asked for my Apple ID so I know it's not being stored where she could have access to it.Is there a way to block what she can purchase? PLEASE help!!

Edit > Preferences > Store > Automatic Downloads. Disable those you don't want.
You'll probably still get a count of available updates unless you first update those that are outstanding now (iTunes would otherwise remember the total) and then remove the apps from your iTunes library.
Personally I prefer to keep a complete copy of my media and apps, and a backup as well. Should you need to restore your device it will be much quicker to do so from locally held data than over a Wi-Fi connection. There is also the small risk that an app you like is subsequently removed from the store and thus no longer available to you when the time comes.

  • How can I prevent iTunes 12 from syncing apps?

    I know that syncing apps to your computer backs the app(s) up so you don't have to download the apps all over again, but for me it doesn't hurt to start all over downloading all the apps one by one. I have an iPhone 6 on iOS 8.1.2, one day I started syncing the iPhone to the latest version of iTunes 12 on my Mac running Lion (10.7.5). I was trying to sync new music onto the phone but iTunes insisted on syncing all 50 or so apps, half of them about 500MB or more, then on the halfway mark iTunes would not respond, I force quitted, reopen iTunes, and get a popup saying "The iTunes Library.itl is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file." I had to grab all of my music, books, and tones folder to my desktop, delete my iTunes library folder, and rebuild my iTunes library all over again putting all of my media back into the iTunes library folder. I did this so many times, sync, quit, rebuild library and get the same results. This irritates me because not only does it consume time, but it takes up space on my mac. Is there any way to prevent iTunes from syncing all of my apps to my Mac?

    There are services.sync.prefs.sync prefs related to which prefs to sync and you can set the corresponding services.sync pref to false to prevent syncing that pref.
    You can set the pref <b>services.sync.prefs.sync.browser.startup.homepage</b> to <i>false</i> on the <b>about:config</b> page.
    To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
    *Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
    *Preferences that have been modified show as bold(user set).
    *Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.

  • How can i prevent my pro from over heating?

    How can i prevent my pro from over heating?

    Don't use the computer in your lap, or on a blanket or pillow. The case bottom is part of the heat dissipation system so it needs air underneath. If you must use the computer in your lap, get a lapboard. There are cheap, even more so if you make one yourself.
    If the computer is a older MBP with silver keys, avoid "clamshell" mode when using an external monitor. Those models let a lot of heat escape through the keyboard. The black-key Unibody versions don't seem to rely so much on the keyboard as a vent.
    Like eww said, what feels hot to you may not threaten the computer's well-being. Get a temperature monitoring utility. I like this one:
    http://bresink.com/osx/TemperatureMonitor.html
    It runs politely in the background and puts the readout in the menubar:
    so you don't have to invoke Dashboard like some other temp monitors require. As Dashboard loads all its widgets as soon as it's invoked, the extra widget processes can run up the temps and you don't get a true average use temp.
    If you use Dashboard a lot, those processes stay active after the first launch and can eat processor cycles as well as increase temps. I use DashQuit, a widget that shuts down Dashboard when I'm done without requiring a computer restart. It's here:

  • How can I prevent deleted mail from ending up in "All Mail"     and "Archives"?  To my horror, I've emptied these boxes and lost all my mail from all my boxes  (and why do I need to enter this question three times?"

    How can I prevent deleted mail from ending up in "All Mail" and "Archives"? 
    To my horror, I emptied these boxes and lost all my mail from all my boxes .
    All mail also disappeared from my iPad, I suppose because they are "synched"
    (Also, no offense, but why do I need to enter this question multiple times?)
    Thanks for any thoughts.

    I'm having a similar but slightly different problem. My company just migrated to Gmail, and it's saving mail drafts every 30 seconds into my Trash folder.
    I unchecked the "Show in IMAP" preference in the Gmail settings, but my Drafts folder completely disappeared. I went back and checked it and the folder reappeared (with my drafts still in there).
    I like the idea if starting an email on my laptop and having the option of finishing it on my iPhone or iPad, so only saving Drafts locally would not be ideal.

  • How can we prevent a user from entering a value in Parameter Field?

    how can we prevent a user from entering a value in Parameter Field and Select-options Field?

    make it invisible, make it inactive, make it display only.
    if the field is not there or not to be seen the user WILL have problems inputting data.
    BUT once the field is there you can NOT prevent that the user fills it with data.
    all you can do is on PAI check if the data the user inputted was good or bad, and clear his inputs, but you can NOT prevent him inputting something.

  • How can I prevent my iPhone4 from starting after connecting to Power?

    How can I prevent my iPhone4 from starting (booting) after connecting to Power?

    You can't so far as I know. You can however, shut it down after it's connected to power and it should not power back on as long as it's connected. If the power is disconnected/reconnected, it will power back on.
    If you just want to avoid calls, etc. while it's plugged in, you could just put it in airplane mode.

  • How can I get a refund from an App that I bought?

    How can I get a refund from an app that I bought? I bought an app called Package for MS Office on the 8th of January and I also reported a problem and they have not got back to me with a response. It has been 3 weeks now and I am still waiting for a reply back. Very disappointed.

    I have now got an openoffice which I got from the internet. But the main thing is I paid £20.99 for this app and It is irriatting that the people who work for apple havent got back to me when I first reported a problem. I reported to them again and hoping that they will eventually get back to me.
