Netflix on iPad with restrictions set to only allow "Specific Websites Only"

I have Netflix app installed on my child's iPad.  I have restrictions in place on the iPad too - Website restrictions set to "Specific Websites Only".
When I do this the netflix app just spins (never gets to the Netflix login).
If I remove restrictions to allow "All Websites" Netflix works.
I also allowed www.netflix.com as an Allowed Website.  Also set Safari "Block Cookies" to never to see if this would help.  No luck.
I want Netflix to work, but I also want the restrictions on the iPad to be set to "Specific Websites Only".
Netflix support said (tried them first):
Just spoke with my team who informed me that they have received a few of these complaints. The Netflix app was introduced on the Ipad as a partnership with Apple. We do not have much control over the function of of the permission on the device. They have asked that you reach out to Apple to determine if there is a work around.
Anyone know how to fix this???

hello msreyes,
after countless hours of googling for answers i came up with a solution that works on my situation...it could work for you, its not 100% kids-proof (if your child is tech-savvy then maybe this wont work for you but anyways...)
first step go Settings/ General/ Safari and set your search engine
then Go to Settings/ General/ Restrictions/ Enter your passcode, after you set your restrictions (obviously this step differ from parents to kids age) just for reference here are my screenshots of how i managed the kids phone
ok, so now to the point...next i checked "Limit Adult Content"
and finally you type as many "search engine" and "social media"  websites you can possible find. " i know that could be quite allot of URL's but by you having Google as "default  serarch enigine and also having www.google.com in th the "NEVER ALLOW" section you kind of take away the "avility" to easly browse Safary,
so say your child types facebook in safari search bar it will show a " website is restricted" message, thus not allowing google or any websites you strict "for that matter" to let your child roam free in the internet world.
and to wrap things up, you can now use Netflix's app in you iPhone. and perhaps your child will never find a walk around glitch..

  • Is there a way to set firefox so it only allows access to only one website / (ip address).

    Is there a way to set firefox so it only allows access to only one website / (ip address) and block traffic from everything else (the entire web) other than the one site I want to allow? The site I want to allow is a corporate web application that will only work in firefox. We as a business run a windows server and all client desktops run Internet Explorer with security setting controlled by group policy. We have already locked down the security setting in firefox so users can’t bypass the proxy server settings.

    I have a proxy server set up (Symantec.cloud). Fire fox is “locked” so users would find it difficult to bypass it.
    I have a file: '''local-settings.js '''
    This is located in: C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\pref
    The content of this file is:
    ''pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); // only needed if you do not want to obscure the content with ROT-13
    pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");''
    I also have the file: called: '''mozilla.cfg'''
    This is located: C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    The contents of this file is:
    lockPref("network.proxy.type", 5);
    All that is working fine, users can’t easily change the connection settings.
    So all that is good and works…
    What I would also like to do is set firefox so access is limited to 1 IP address and nothing else is allowed (the whole internet is blocked, except this one IP address).
    You suggest using a PAC file - I was unsure how I would use a PAC file, (I have never written one) and do not understand how I would implement one? Please help.

  • How do I only allow SPECIFIC webpages the ability to refresh or redirect?

    Is there some way to have FIrefox only allow specific webpages the ability to reload or refresh a page? I already know of the
    Tools -> Advanced -> Warn me when webpages attempt to refresh or reload the page
    option. I am looking for the ability to only allow specific webpages, not ALL webpages.

    Without additional information on the addon, as the documentation provided is sorely lacking, this addon doesn't help much.
    Now if Firefox itself had a built-in whitelist / blacklist of pages allowed to redirect/refresh automatically, I'd be all for it.
    Appreciate the thought cor-el, but it doesn't help.

  • Explicit tags do not work on IPad with Restrictions on

    I have noticed (though I cannot say if it is the same for songs purchased through the Itunes store as I do not own any explicit ones) that songs I have manually marked as explicit with the program MP3TAG that on my Ipad and in itunes if I enable restricts they are still accessable and playable. I would like if possible a solution to fix this as this is a major problem for me
    I convert all my mp3's to m4a's/mp4's before adding all my tags
    my m4a's also have some custom tags such as label, arranger, and lyrcist. though I doubt that they have affected anything as itunes does not read them.
    here is where I got the information on adding Itunes explicit tags to mp3's and m4a's
    http://forums.mp3tag.de/index.php?showtopic=10847
    the song I used for testing is ThatXX - By G-Dragon
    tags as they appear in mp3tag
    The tags correctly displayed in itunes

    restrictions are enabled here but I can still see the song in my library and play it

    I didn't read this forum to see what other people's problems were.
    Reading these forums get you only reports of problems - that's what tech support forums are for. You'll find similar reports in any tech support forum you might read.
    I could have dumped the music in my trusty old 4GB iPod mini that still mounts like a hard drive and stored my photos there.
    And you could have had the same problem if your iPod failed.
    bring enough camera memory cards. They're cheap enough.
    And they're easily damaged or corrupted - that's why there are so many products and services advertised to recover photos from memory cards.
    I'm not defending the iPad, per se, but this is not an issue related solely to iPads. Any device can fail, or get damaged, or lost or stolen. The simplest solution: never trust critical content to any single device or medium, regardless of what that is. If you rely on any single point of failure, you're just asking for trouble.

  • Deleting Safari History Items with Restrictions Set

    Hi All,
    My daughter's iPad mini has restrictions set to 'limit adult content'. One of the apparent benefits of this was the the 'Clear' button on Safari history and 'Private Browsing Mode' were disabled. I was then able to periodically audit the history to check nothing untoward. I could also temporarily remove restrictions to clear the history before re-enabling them.
    However, I have just noticed that if you swipe left on an item in history, you are given the option to delete - without removing Restrictions first.
    Is this expected behaviour or has a particular update caused this? Is there a setting to prevent history deletion?
    Many Thanks,

    You can clear just history on iOS 8, but there's no analogous easy way to do it in Yosemite.
    For Yosemite, to clear history manually, you must:
    Go to Safari's History -> Show History
    Click in the History window and Select All (Command-A or Edit -> Select All)
    Press "Delete"
    Note that due to cacheing and the fact that History may now be synced across devices via iCloud, you may need to repeat steps 2 and 3 multiple times before you delete all History items.
    For iOS 8, display History, tap "Clear" and choose the option you prefer.

  • Set Output Type for specific Vendors Only

    Hi,
    I have created an output type to send external mail for PO. I want to restrict it to send the email to only a specific number of users. So I created consition records based on Companycode/vendor num/doc type.
    I entered the records for say x and y vendor only .
    But , Still when i test it with some other vendor whose record is not maintained it still sends the email?
    Is it the rt path I am on ? Is it the rt way to do this ? Based on the info available online and sdn i tried these steps ...I m not sure if thats correct.
    Pls let me know how to achieve this restriction ?
    Thanks,
    Shilpi

    Hi
    You check the access sequence for purchase order output type. Access sequence will determine which condition record to be checked first. If any other condition table with records has priority (defined in access sequence) then your condition record will not be taken into account for output type.

  • Only allow specific USB device GPO - Existing drivers question

    My employer is introducing a policy that only a specific model of USB drive will be allowed on our IT infrastructure in the future, and I need to restrict the estate so they cannot use any others.
    I have successfully tested & configured the following settings:
    Allow installation of devices that match these device IDs
    Prevent installation of devices not described by other policy settings
    Which works to allow the approved device and block any other new ones. The problem is that any USB storage device that was installed prior to the GPO going live can still be used, unless it is explicitly uninstalled. I have confirmed this in testing across
    multiple devices/reboots.
    Is there any way to force all USB storage drivers to uninstall/other way around this? We have a large estate over a wide area, so it not feasible to uninstall all old drivers manually. Thanks!

    Just a note for anyone else in a similar situation. I haven't found a way to do what I require using Group Policy:
    -Two policies exist that can block all USB storage devices from running or installing, including previously installed devices
    OR:
    -Can block all USB devices except approved device, but have to specifically allow all other desired classes, and has no affect at all on any USB device, including storage, already installed on the computer.
    As a result we are now looking at third party tools to control device access.

  • Firefox will only load secure websites ONLY , https

    This is a strange one...after a period of time of operating normally, suddenly firefox will only load secure websites.
    I have turned off my firewall and turned off my cybersitter and it still only loads secure sites.
    Any thoughts.

    Running Firefox with addons disabled is no solution. The addons are the only reason I use Firefox! Please fix this before Google completely takes over my desktop!

  • My camera on my latest generation IPAD with Retina 128GB is not allowing my camera to flip, away from me. It is a dark screen when I'm trying to take a picture. I've only had it literally 2 days. Any suggestions on solving this.

    My I pad with Retina and wifi+cellular will no longer allow my camera to flip away and take photos. I've reset settings and it still will not allow me. Before I went to bed it worked. It now only shows a black screen like there is a cover on it. Any suggestions?

    I don't think you are alone, I cannot advise but I am having the same issue and have posted here:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/23205752#23205752
    I suspect it's to do with IOS7 but not everyone is affected, mine was working before. I have read on some forums that Apple have just replaced the iPad as they have not been able to resolve the issue. If yours is new I would take it back and ask to try another with IOS7 installed before swapping.

  • Brand new ipad with passcode set?

    Hi there
    Just got a new ipad. Have managed to set up and sync but I keep getting the following error message. Itunes could not back up the ipad because it is locked with a passcode. I have not set a passcode - is their a default. Have done a system recover but that has not solved the problem.
    thanks
    Linda

    thanks for responses.
    Ipad is brand new and was sealed
    passcode lock is set to off. It is not stopping me from using it as when I get the message I press cancel and it then goes on to sync. But know it is really going to annoy me. Will post back here if I ever manage to talk to apple support.

  • .ok 32 gig it is but what is cheaper a wiifi hotspot or including the ipad with cellular and hooking it up for trips only?

    ok 32 gig wins but what is cheaper a wifi hotspot or just getting it with cellular and only hooking it up when traveling
    cellular is 100.00 more
    I am not sure about buying the hotspot at all, is this mifi?

    I'd go for just wifi. Honestly I've had mine for 2 years now and usually get along just fine with free wifi hotspots.

  • When sync pics PC to iPad with iTunes, how do I select specific pics within each subdirectory?

    My pics are on a external hard drive and organized into directories such as sports, birthdays,etc.  I would want to select only some of the pics in each directory to sync with the iPad.  I can select the directories to be synced but not specific pics. How can I select the pics without creating yet another directory for purpose of the sync.

    then you may want to look into other photo apps than the built in one. the build in one is set to sync with one folder, not with multiple files from multiple folders. It simply can't do what you'd like it to do I'm afraid.
    Someone may be able to recommend a different photo app for you to try.

  • Remote Desktop Connection Times Out With "Can't Connect" From One Specific Computer Only

    This is an odd one... I manage several servers from this computer. This particular server, 2012 Essentials, won't allow for remote desktop connections to either the server or attached workstations. I can get into the server's remote web page but when I
    attempt a remote desktop connection, it hangs on "Initiating remote connection..." and then times out with the error response that remote desktop can't connect. But... if I attempt the same connections from any other computer, I am able to get in
    and utilize remote desktop. Does this mean that there is a certificate issue with the computer unable to connect and if so, how does one remedy this? Or is it some other issue? I've attempted everything within my technical ability to no avail. Any suggestions
    are greatly appreciated.

    Hi,
    Before going further, would you please let me know the RDC version that used in the problematic computer? Was it the same with other computers?
    Please temporarily disable firewall and then check if this issue can be solved. Based on your current description, it’s hard to say the root reason of this issue.
    So, I suggest that you should check relevant log files and get some clues. It will help us to narrow down and solve your issue.
    Hope this helps.
    Best regards,

  • Cisco ACS 5.3 - How to only allow specific AD groups to login

    Can anyone help me figure out what I have wrong or have missing?
    I've configured three specific AD groups, Admin, Storage, and HelpDesk, with their own commands sets.
    This seems to be working fine, but everyone can log into everything, but they can't do anything except exit.
    My goal is to not allow anyone to login that is not part of the three AD groups I have specified with the respective command sets.
    All the logins hit the Admin account, even though the id in AD is not in the that AD group.  I have something screwed up.

    Check your authorization rules, make sure the default rule isnt set to Permit. Group Mapping is only mapping AD groups to internal ACS groups, we need to check your authorization rules to see which policies they users are hitting, you may want to reset the hit count and test to see which policy is allowing access.
    Thanks,

  • Firefox suddenly sits with a blank screen for one specific website.

    A website I've used for years I suddenly can't get to using Firefox, but I can using Internet Explorer. When I try to go to it in Firefox I get a blank white screen in the browser. I tried all the usual troubleshooting techniques (disabling add-ons, resetting Firefox, deleting cookies and temp files) and nothing helps.
    I have Webroot anti-virus and it hasn't detected anything; scans run automatically every day.

    Are there any special icons on the location bar that Firefox is blocking content?
    You can get a possibly colored Lego icon on the left end of the location bar that indicates that Firefox is blocking a plugin.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/why-do-i-have-click-activate-plugins
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Issues_related_to_plugins#Click_to_Play
    You can check if there is a shield icon to the left of the "Site Identity Button" (globe/padlock) on the location bar that mixed active content is blocked.

    *Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
    *Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
    Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.

    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
    "Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
