Apple TV: Safari-only mode (stuck)

Good afternoon,
I opened my mother's apple tv/internet screen in guest-user mode, expecting that all I needed to use youtube was safari. Unfortunately for me, not only does her safari-only mode NOT support videos, I cannot seem to get out of safar-only mode and back to her regular login screen. Even when I restart the whole system, it opens back up to safari-only mode. How can I reset it back to her correct login screen (before she comes home/finds out/kills me)? I can't seem to find an answer that works for me!
Thanks very much.

Oops. I'm not exactly Apple literate (and neither is my mother...that's why I'm trying to take care of this before she comes home). I don't know exactly what it is, but the internet that she has connected to her tv/apple tv.
Regardless of whether or not Apple TV has a safari browser, the (Apple) computer on her television is stuck on safari-only mode and will not switch back to her account/let me log out/do anything, really. Maybe you have a suggestion to where I should move this post, then?

Guest User - Safari Only

Back in Snow Leopard I had a the guest user restricted through parental controls to only allow Safari.
Then in Lion I was able to use the Guest in Safari Only Mode.
Now in Moutain Lion it looks like we are back to parental controls (Safari only mode is gone?). But when trying to change the Guest User, I cannot get the Parental Controls checkbox to stick. It keeps unchecking.
I wnat to use the Guest user so everything gets deleted when they logout.
What I want is a Guest User that can only run Safari. Anyone know how to do that in Mountain Lion?

Step by Step to fix your Mac

The guest account on my MBA restart in Safari Only. How do I disable that?

Every time someone tries to log into my guest account on my MBA, a message pops up stating that the computer will restart in a secure safari only mode. Any ideas as to how to get the guest account back to normal instead of restarting the computer in safari only mode?

I also think separate accounts is the way to go....if he is over 13yrs also remember if you do make an account for him and use your bank card all purchases will be charged to your card.

My iPhone 5s on ios 8.1.2 is stuck at Apple logo or recovery mode.. To fix this issue, i need to update it to ios 8.2 through itunes.. I want to ask that my data i.e. Photos and other personal data would be removed after updating it or not..?

My iPhone 5s on ios 8.1.2 is stuck at Apple logo or recovery mode.. To fix this issue, i need to update it to ios 8.2 through itunes.. I want to ask that my data i.e. Photos and other personal data would be removed after updating it or not..?
if yes then how can i save my data or get out of recovery mode.. Is there any safe mode or something like that on which i could access my data..
P.S. I have not taken any backup of my iPhone on itunes..
Please help me sort out this issue..

Recovery mode doesn't mean that all your data is already lost. You only lose your data if you restore it.
When you plug the phone is into iTunes hold down the home button. iTunes may then give you the option JUST to update the software first. This should not get rid of any data.
However, if iTunes is only giving you the option to RESTORE and update, then you will lose your data I'm afraid.
Hope that helps!

In Full Screen mode Safari only opens new tabs?

Safari 5.1 has a preference that lets you set whether or not targeted links open into new tabs or new windows.
In regular screen mode, this preference works as expected.
In Full Screen mode (Lion), this preference seems to be ignored, and Safari always opens targeted links into new tabs.
Is there a preference I'm missing to set this behavior for Full Screen mode?
The reason I ask is that I would love to use the swipe gesture to switch between different web pages I have open, and so far Safari only seems to use gestures in Full Screen mode to switch between windows, not tabs.

ITunes stuck in activation only mode

I have been unable to fix this with copious google searches. Computer is running Windows XP Pro SP3.
We are using the appropriate switches to launch iTunes in activation only mode and also to take it back out of activation only mode. I have tried creating separate shortcuts and I have tried doing it from a command prompt window.
iTunes is stuck in activation only mode and won't come out of it. If I log in to the computer with a different user account I am able to launch in normal mode. This problem seems profile related but I have searched the registry and been unable to find a key for iTunes that would obviously be causing this problem. The app has been reinstalled - made no difference.
What is the problem here? I would prefer to not delete the profile that iTunes is "stuck" in if possible. Thanks

Logged this as a SR on Metalink and the problem seems to be down to use of colons in my connection names.
I was using a naming convention of
host:SID for accounts connecting as system and
host:SID:schema for accounts connecting as specific schema
Which nicely groups and orders my connections by host. Sadly this prevents edit of stored pl/sql units (package, procedures, functions)

Since iOS 7 update apple tv screen on ipad stuck in portrait mode

Since ios 7 update Apple TV screen on iipad stuck in portrait mode. How to unlock?

Do you have orientation lock turned on on the iPad? You would see a little lock with a clockwise arrow going around it near the battery symbol on your iPads screen.

Editor stuck in read only mode

Am able to connect to a 9i database, but am unable to edit any code. Logon appears successful, connection made, and am able to query the database. However, when I open stored procedures for editing, the edit window doesn't respond to any keystrokes.
The editor behaves as though I were in some kind of read-only mode. However, when I exit the procedure, I am prompted to save "changes".

send me the form if you can, as I have never seen problem like this in my 5 years of oracle

Internal card reader thinks SD card is in "read only" mode??

I just took some pictures with my digital camera which use SD cards.
I then took the card out of my camera and put it into the built in SD reader on my 13" MacBook Pro. (same way as I always do)
However, the Finder thinks my card is in "read only mode" as I can not delete or add pictures on the card. I took out the card and toggled the read-only switch thinking maybe it got stuck or something, and tried it again. Still no luck.
Then, I tried a USB card reader. That reader detected the card, and let me read and write to the card.
This is the first time this has ever happened.
Any ideas why the internal card reader wouldn't anything other then read the card while my USB card reader could read and write no problem?
Thanks,
Scott

I reset the PRAM but it did not help.
I think I found the solution though.
It depends on the way you insert the card.
You can't just slide it in. Rather, you have to push it in a special way (which I can't describe or remember)
So I guess the answer is, if the card comes up as read-only, take out the card, and push it in a different way until to comes up correctly.
I replicated this issue twice so that is why I believe it is the alignment that is the problem.
If it gets any worse, I'll probably have to get the slot serviced but considering I only use the slot once a month or so, its not top priority. Too bad I couldn't just have an extra USB port, or an express card slot - but apparently Apple thinks SD cards are more important...

How do I take advantage of the full size of my 27" display? Safari only uses the middle third of the display.

Safari only utilizes the middle one third of my display. Is there a setting somewhere to increase this size?

It also depends on the site. For example, this Apple support site is laid out to a fixed width and always displays too narrow. It built into the third-party forum softare Apple selected.
Other site may look great in full-screen mode.

Safari very slow/stuck...but Camino fast!

This is something that only happens at work.
Safari is extremely slow since 10.4.4 or so. It would start loading pages, then get "stuck" and either never finish loading or finish after a long time.
I have tried all the various things suggested in other threads, like:
- deleting cache, history, and resetting
- deleting the icons folder
- re-installing 10.4.5. combo update
- fixing permissions
- disabling JavaScript
None of these have worked.
Now, it is true that the IT staff at work are a bunch of incompetent idiots, BUT the thing that really irks me is that Camino works perfectly!
I am on a static IP with the correct DNS servers entered in the Network TCP/IP configuration.
Any ideas? This is driving me crazy. I have switched to Camino.

Yes I have done all the suggested push ups and conditioning as suggested by Apple, plus the additional steps listed by Davide; but Safari is like stuck in mud.
I have found that if I keep hitting the return key the blue bar goes a little further each time, but this is not a guaranteed way to complete the page.
This has happened after 10.4.5 upgade Ran OK for a few days then the Safari got stuck.
Really frustrating as I have kept this machine clean and mean with Apple and Major brand software, nothing new in a few months but looks like I am going to expand my horizons, if I want to search for the info I need.
Hope they fix this one quickly

ICloud accidentally set-up with erroneous email acct. How do I reset the email originally used to start the Apple ID? I'm stuck in a loop...

Hi Apple friends! Here's my frustrating situation. When I got the new computer (2012 Macbook Pro), I tried to set up iCloud but accidentally input an erroneous email acct. I cannot access iClod because the email was accidentally input as "[email protected]", not "[email protected]". How do I reset the email originally used to start the Apple ID? I'm stuck in a loop, and not only cannot use iCloud, but I keep getting messages popping up to register my iCloud with a non-existent email...
Help?
Sincerely,
Cole

Have you tried to go into System Preferences > iCloud and entering the correct information there? You will first have to "sign out" of the wrong account and then log in with the correct information.
If that does not work you should direct follow up to the iCloud for Mac forum.

IPad - Windows Vista unable to locate Apple Mobile Device (Recovery Mode)

Hey everyone , I am at my wits end trying to fix this problem . Having spent hours and hours researching a solution I am no closer to finding a resolution.
The problem began during a software update last week ( I have an original iPad , prior to this I had used it on my PC for nearly 12 months without issue).
During the software update it started coming up with a "Found New Hardware Apple Mobile Device Recovery mode" then "Browse for Driver software" , so I direct it to C:ProgrammeFiles\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Driver etc .... however it still cant locate it.
Now - the iPad is stuck in Recovery Mode. It has been nearly a week now.
Here is what Ive tried
Confirmed Apple Mobile USB installed and working
Followed the Apple Support prompts re drivers to a tee
Tried manual update of Driver
Updated to latest iTUNES
Uninstalled then reinstalled driver
Read post after post on "similar" issues
Nothing is helping
Please , please , please , pleeeeeeeeeease can you guys help ?
Please note following
My iPOD Classic is recognised fine by my PC and is 100% working
I havnt completely deleted itunes then reinstalled because post after post tells me this doesnt fix this particular issue
During the software update initially it was coming up with a 604 error / Restore as well as the Driver issue , now my ipad is not recognised at all by Windows
Yes - I could take it too another PC to restore , but I want it synced to my PC and ITUNES library
I feel I'm no Computer Dummy , but this one is a total head scratcher
Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp !!!!!!!!!!

Fixed.
Took iPAD to Apple store who restored back to factory setting.
Brought home and it synced fine
Back up and running
Diagnosis ? probably some soft ware update glitch
Lesson ? - dont waste your time reinstalling Itunes for this problem
