Approved Parental Control Apps

Hello,
I have a script that I want one of my local users to be able to run. The script is located on their desktop. The script is named with the ".command" extension so it runs in terminal. I use parental controls, and the user has access to the Terminal App, but it won't let the user run the .command script as it says it's not part of the approved apps they can run. I tried moving the script to the /Applications folder, hoping it would show up in Parental Controls for me to allow access, but it doesn't. Any help is appreciated, thanks.
Robert

Can you drag the script into the list of apps in the parental controls preferences?

  • Is there a parental control app that is good out there?

    Is there a parental control app that is good out there?

    Mobicip and K9 are really good options. I like Mobicip especially because K9 doesn't offer the "Open in" dialog for files. If you're on an iPad, Olly is another really good option, though again it won't let you open files.
    Remember to delete all google apps, they are full of loopholes.

  • Parental Controls app settings keep changing on their own

    I manage a lab and have setup Parental Controls to allow certain apps. However, later students will launch an app. that I have enabled and get the dialog box saying it isn't allowed. I go back and check parental controls for that computer and the app is now unchecked.
    1) how can I keep this from happening?
    2) is there a preferences file somewhere that I can save and then just upload from time to time?
    Thanks,
    Craig

    I suspect your students are smarter than you think they are
    Be sure nobody knows the admin password. Change it to be sure and make sure nobody is looking.
    Be sure nobody has a Leopard DVD handy.
    Be sure all users are non-admin types.
    Check all 3rd party apps installed on the machines.
    You can also check the console logs on the machines to see how and when the change occurred.

  • HT201304 Kindle Amazon app store has an app called childs place. It's a parental control app that allows the parent to put only apps into it for childrens access & requires a password to get out of. Anyone know if there is a similar app in the Apple app s

    Kindle App Store has an app names Child's Place. It lets you add only the apps you want your child to access and requires a passcode to exit it. That way your child cannot access any other content except what you have allowed in this particular app. Does anyone know if Apple App store has anything comparable? I know you can set up restrictions in settings but this is different.
    Thanks

    Sorry but no, that is not possible in iOS. Other than what is offered in the Restrictions, there is no way to lock apps in general unless the app itself has a password feature. You can in iOS 6 lock the iPad into a single app, but that's your only option.
    It's a tradeoff; apps can't affect each other except in very restrictive ways in iOS which makes such features from third parties impossible, but it also renders getting malware infecting your iOS device extremely unlikely, something not the case with Android-based devices.
    Regards.

  • Parental oversight and control apps

    Is there a program like "my mobile watchdog" for the iphone?  I have 2 14 yo daughters getting iphones from Santa and I'd like to make sure they play safe once they have the phones.  I was pretty excited until I realized MMW doesn't work on the iphone.

    There a many parental control apps in the app store.  Just search for "parental control".

  • Parental controls

    Since "Parental control" on Leopard is currently "busted", see thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1618967&start=0&tstart=0
    What are some other effective 3rd party parental control apps available that is recommended? I've done google search but information is quite limited in terms of their effectiveness.

    Although I've never used the Leopard parental controls (my kids' machine is an old iMac with Tiger, I've never bothered to upgrade it), I've never been happy with the control of web sites in the parental controls. Fortunately, there's a free solution: [OpenDNS|https://www.opendns.com>. One of the features of OpenDNS is that you can limit access to specific groups of web sites (like adult sites, among others). You can apply this protection to one machine or to your whole network. I changed the settings on my AirPort base station to use OpenDNS, which means my access is also limited (not a problem for me), but I don't have to worry about what sites my kids are looking at on their iPods or on the PSP. Any wifi device will be unable to visit places I don't approve of.
    Good luck!

  • How do I allow parental controlled users to access third party apps on the admin account?

    I just set my son up with a separate parental controlled user account and he can't seem to access some third party games that we installed for him under my admin account. He has saved progress on these games that we don't want to lose, so I don't want to reinstall them. I checked them off as allowed apps, but when he tries to play- the game icon shows up in the doc then changes to the updater icon and they won't run. I've searched for answers to this question, but can't seem to find any. Please help? My son and I would be very grateful!

  • I put parent control on my sons apps so he cant download 17  apps, but I just found out if he restores his phone in itunes he can download an app then go back and back it up. Is there a way I can black restore on Itunes?

    I put Parents Control on my sons apps so he cant download 17+ apps, but I just found out if he goes on itunes he can restore his phone to orginal settings which wont have parent control on it. Then when ever he wants he cant backup his phone so it looks like nothing ever happened. Is there a way I can bloack restore on itunes?

    You can't block restoring in iTunes, but any restrictions you put on the phone are included in the iPhone backup, thus if your son restores from backup, he will restore any restrictions you put on the phone. His only choice, to completely remove restrictions, is to restore as a new device. You can also set parental controls in iTunes: iTunes>Preferences>Parental.

  • Parental Controls for Mail does not present all emails to approver

    Those of you who use Parental Controls to manage your children's use of email via Mail know that you can restrict emails they receive to ones sent by people on a whitelist, only. If someone not on the whitelist sends a message, it should be first sent to you for approval, after which it is let through to your child in Mail.
    That's the theory. Putting this into practice I sent messages from my various email accounts to my son's email address. None of those that weren't on the whitelist got through--that's good. However, I received permission requests for only two of those messages. The one sent from my work account simply disappeared--that's bad.
    Do any of you have a sense of how robust this part of Parental Controls is? I did file a bug report on this, by the way.

    restore mailbox function of Mail was the solution ...

  • Mac App Store - page is inaccessible due to your Parental Control

    Whenever I start the app store I get the following message on the Featured, Top Charts, and Purchased tabs.
    defaultButtonok message This page is inaccessible due to your Parental Control settings. okButtonStringOK
    If I try to sign in the wheel next to the account just spins and spins... It never connects. The Apple ID and PW are confirmed good in all the other apple apps and sites.
    I am logged in with an administrator account - so no parental controls.
    All parental controls are disabled in iTunes
    It did not work in 10.6.6 or 10.6.7

    Sorry let me be more clear...
    No parental controls are enabled on the system preferences as there are no accounts that are not administrators.
    In iTunes - no parental controls either.
    The iTunes account works without fail.

  • Parental Control Netflix app

    Suggestion for apple tv 3 netflix ios 6 and up
    * Auto - play to next episode and movies
    *Airplay netflix from ipad and iphone and macbook
    Parental Control Netflix setting feature where users can disable enable the search / genre feature for parenthood with kids 
    which leaves us with just for kids and instant queue and sign out option
    It will be great to bring parental control on apple tv 3 netflix setting to disable some feature like
    Search .suggestion for you .recently watched .genres ,tv shows ,new releases
    when it disable it will only show instant queue and just for kids and sign out
    so one is for just for kids movies and shows and instant queue is what titles we have on queue

  • The firefox app is on my daughter's iPhone...how do we set parental controls so she can't be exposed to innappropriate content?

    I read something about settings parental controls on our computer for the FireFox browser....but she downloaded it directly to her iPhone. Do I have to open the browser from there in order to turn on a filter of some type? I want to protect her from all the dangerous material that is rampant on the internet today. Thanks

    There is no mobile Firefox for any iOS devices due to Apples restrictions on what browser and JavaScript engines can be used.
    The only thing Mozilla had was a app in past called Firefox Home which allowed you to sync settings like bookmarks from Firefox to the iOS device.
    Android is currently the only mobile OS supported.
    So whatever you have on iPhone is not Firefox and just a shell or something for Safari.

  • Parental Controls(Enable Restrictions) and installing apps through ITunes store (PC)

    Through Parental control(Restrictions), the iTunes Store and Installing apps can be disabled on iPhone. Now is this feature can prevent apps getting installed if Apps are purchased through iTunes Store in PC and synced with iTunes? Is it possible to disable syncing with iTunes?

    So you are saying that, even if there is Restrictions, with iTunes and Installing apps disabled, applications can be purchased through iTunes in PC and can be synced with iPhone and get the applications installed. Is that a correcy assumption?
