How do you disable mobile account settings/parental controls

My school had a one-to-one macbook program, but I switched schools. Now i have a heavily restricted computer. They had my account set to mobile and had parental controls enabled, so I used single user mode to create a new admin (remove /var/db/.applesetupdone and reboot) and remove them. However, even though no account has parental controls turned on, they are still enabled somewhere for all accounts, even admins. I have two questions: how do i disable mobile account settings, and where are the parental controls files located? I found some in /library/managed preferences/<account name here> , but editing these gives only temporary relief from parental controls, and they are reset when i restart. There has to be somewhere else that parental controls are flagged as on/set to sync on login. i removed the actual parental controls executables and stuff somewhere in /system but after that i couldnt open activity monitor and i didnt want to risk a reboot. please help me as this is very annoying. btw im on OS X 10.6.7

HI,
Try this..
Open System Preferences/MobileMe and select the Sync tab.
Deselect the box where you see: Synchronize with MobileMe. The last sync will noted at the bottom left side of the window.

  • Will an iPhone automatically turn off location services.  If it goes below a certain battery power level, and so how you disable this in settings.

    I am working with Georgia DOT and we have created an app to track our state vehicles using IPhone 5. My question is: will an iPhone automatically turn off location services?  If it goes below a certain battery power level, and if so how do you disable this in settings.

    I don't believe that this will happen, however, the entire iPhone will shut down when the iPhone reaches the auto-shutdown power level. There is no way to turn that Off other that connecting the iPhone to power.

  • HT2534 How do you get your account back when it's disabled

    How do you make your account enabled from disabled

    You might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
    You might then need to log out of your account on your iPod by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Stores and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on it
    If that doesn't fix it then you might need to contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • How do you stop mobile sites from loading in safari automatically on my iPad? I can't log into mobile me because of this.

    How do you stop mobile sites from loading in safari automatically on my iPad? I can't log into mobile me because of this.

    The me.com website is not designed for or intended to be accessed by iOS devices. Apple provides support in iOS or seperate Apps for accessing all aspects of MobileMe except for the Accounts section.
    Use MobielMe as intended and you'll have no problems.
    See: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1673
    Even if you use a different browser to get access to me.com on iOS, you'll find most of it is unusable.
    Other websites that present you with the mobile version have been programmed to do so by their developers. They specifically look for users accessing from 'mobile' devices and switch to the mobile site. Many such sites provide a link to go back to the 'full' site, if not, there's not a lot you can do except use a browser that can pretend not to be a mobile browser.

  • My password keeps getting hacked, how can i disable my account and start a new one and not lose all the stuff I already have?

    Hi All,
    I need help, my password keeps getting hacked, and I keep changing the password, and changing all my security questions. I have changed everything I can. How can I disable my account, but not lose everything that I already have in there? Is this possible or do I have to start all over again?

    You might have some better luck if you call your country number from http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 and ask to speak with the Account Security Team.

  • Mobile account settings & home sync

    I've learned recently that introducing a MacBook into a corporate Windows world is easier said than done, but I've been fairly successful. One problem that has occurred recently (maybe due to a recent update) is that I can no longer access the Mobile account settings in my Accounts preferences. I setup the first MacBook Pro around the first of March. I successfully assigned a networked location as my home folder, and it synced just fine.
    Now I've setup a second MacBook Pro today and found that I can't access the Mobile account settings in the Accounts preferences. Going back to my original MacBook Pro, I get the same thing... greyed out. I click on the Home Sync button in the toolbar and I click on "Sync Now" and I get no response. I see that it shows my last Home sync was on 3/4/10.
    I don't have an OSX server here, we're using Active Directory on a Win2008 server. No specific rules have been assigned to these machines, but the accounts are Active Directory accounts.
    Anyone have an idea why I can't use the home functions? These are new 15" MacBook Pro models with 10.6.3 software.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    I got the same problem with our second Mac. But after activating it in: System -> Library -> CoreServices -> Menu Extras and then HomeSync.menu, it became editable.
    Does someone know how to change the server folder that the mac will sunc with?

  • In-App Purchasing disabled. Check your parental control settings and try again

    I have played games for quite a while and have used the purchased many "lives" for games, etc. For about a week now, whenever I go to purchase some like this, I receive the following error message: "In-App purchasing disabled. Check your parental control settings and try again later."
    I have read the threads about this and have done everything that was said to do. I go to settings > General > Restrictions. I ensured that "enable Restrictions" is turned off.
    But I still receive the same error message. I have an ipad 2 with IOS 7.1.
    ANy further ideas? Is there something in the iTunes store that needs to be checked?
    I've about given up. Thanks for any help

    I will try doing this, but I would like to add ... if I'm playing Candy Crush and want to buy additional lives, etc., I have no problem in purchasing them. Could it be the specific game that is not allowing me to buy anything? And I know this doesn't make much sense either, but I'm grasping at anything here because I've purchased them before.
    You said to turn on in app purchases .. When I go into Settings > General, I'm ensuring that Restrictions are Disabled, correct? I can see the "in-App purchases" but I'm not able to do anything with it since my restrictions are disabled ... Is this correct? I'm a little confused here.

  • How do you disable the Notification Center in iOS 8?

    How do you disable the Notification Center in iOS 8?  It seems the update has killed this ability.

    Are you in the "today" or "notifications" part of notification center?
    Settings--notifications works for the notifications part but doesn't control the today part of notification center. For that you have to drag down notification center, tap on today, and choose edit from the bottom. From there you can turn off widgets, activate new ones, and change the display order.

  • HT1695 How do you disable an existing WiFi auto connect?

    I have an Apple iPhone 4.  Under Settings > General > Network > WiFi it states "Known networks will be joined automatically.  If no know networks are available, you will be asked before joining a new network." My question is, how do you disable the automatic connection to known networks?
    Thanks,
    Sue

    If you are near the Wifi network you want to disable, it will be listed in the listing of available networks, obviously.
    Tap the blue arrow on the right side of the wifi's name.  If the network offers auto join and auto login you can turn them off here.  Not all networks offer this. If you just want to keep your phone from automatically joining a specific network you have used in the past you can tap Forget this network and you will be disconnected from it.
    Or if you want to disable all wifi networks you have joined in the past you can reset your network settings.
    Settings => General => Reset => Reset Network Settings
    this will reset your cellular connection as well as your wifi connections.  You will have to enter any ID and Password information for the networks that require you to log in, such as your home wifi network (You do have your home network password protected right?) but you will have disabled your wifi connections.
