Block app categories in app store?

I want to block all games and social networking apps in app store in my students ipad. I want to know how can it be done. Using profile or any other method?
Please help me.
I want to block these app categories:
Games
Social Networking
Thank You.

There was another post like this earlier, from South Africa, I think. The issue is likely not with your phone, it's with Apple's servers. Nothing you can really do but wait for Apple to sort it out.

Firewall Blocks App Store?

We have an extremely limiting firewall here where I work called SonicWall (I think that's the name). It seems to block access to the app store when I try to access it from my iphone. I can get on it just fine if the wifi is off. What is the address or domain that the iphone app store looks up? If I appeal to the gods of our IT department, the might make an exception for this if they know what to unblock.

The following iTunes Store Internet addresses should be added as trusted domains to any filtering software that may be running:
itunes.apple.com
ax.itunes.apple.com
albert.apple.com
gs.apple.com
Regards.

Ipod touch missing: how to block apps store

My ipod touch has gone missing, probably stolen. Mobileme is activated but can't locate it.
I've only ever bought one app from the apps store and I can't remember if you have to enter a password to buy apps. Is it possible for the person who has it to buy apps using my account on the ipod?

Yu need to enter you iTunes password to buy apps. If you purchase more apps within ten minute or so after entering your password you will not have to enter it again (your password is still valid for ten minutes). However, you should still change the password for all accounts used on the iPod.

OpenDNS "game" and "movie" filters block the Mac App Stor

Where I work they are using OpenDNS and have blocked various types of sites inlcuding the categories OpenDNS calls "gaming" and "movies". When they blocked these to categories my MacBookPro was no longer able to connect to the app store and therefore I am unable to download os updates.
Could someone provide me the URL of the app store so that I can have the app store "white listed"?

HT204053 How can I remove an apple Id ( hotmail address)which is being used in the app store and iTunes but is actually a blocked account and use a current live account which is now set for mail etc ?

I have 2 apple iDs ( hotmail accounts) one of which was set up some time ago and not used for awhile in which time it has become blocked. This Id is set up in iTunes and the app store. It is linked to an old email address which is no longer used which means I can't retrieve a code to reactivate. What I want to do is remove this inactive hotmail account and use the other for all access with iTunes, app store, iCloud,mail etc. without losing all apps and credits. Can this be achieved ? My daughter needs the iPad at school and at the moment can't use iCloud and mail and I am scared to add more iTunes credit when there is a problem with this account... I am desperate and have tried everything I know, thanks

Welcome to the Apple community.
iTunes and iCloud and different accounts, you will need to delete both accounts from your device before adding the new details in their place.
For iCloud go to settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit the delete button. You can then sign back in using your correct details. For iTunes go to settings >store, tap your account ID and then sign out, you can then sign back in using your correct Apple ID.

Every time I click on the Categories tab or Top 25 tab in the app store, it says 'too many http redirects'

Every time I open the app store on my iPod touch, it says 'too many http redirects' whenever I click on the Categories and Top 25 tabs. I tried force quitting the app store, that didn't work. I tried closing all windows in Safari and force quitting safari, also didn't work. I reset the network settings, that didn't work either. When I reset all settings, it appeared to work. The tabs were different (it had a Genius tab), but it worked. However, immediately after force quitting the app store (I force quit a lot to keep as much RAM clear as possible), the same thing happened again. Does anyone know a permanent, Apple-supported solution to this problem? And please do not say restoring it. I don't want to start from scratch just to potentially experience the same problem.

However, it seems to be an Apple/network problem beyond your control

On my iPad 2 I cannot click on an app in the app store or click on different app categories. What should I do????

When I go into the app store on my iPad 2 I can't click on apps to view them nor can I click on different app categories. What is wrong and what should I do???

Try closing the App Store app completely and see if it works properly when you re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with App Store 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the App Store app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Try closing the App Store app via the iPad's multitasking bar and see if it works ok when you re-open it :
iOS 7 : double-click the home button to open the taskbar, and then swipe or drag the App Store app's screen from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
iOS 6 and below : from the home screen (i.e. not with the App Store 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the App Store app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't fix it then you could try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

IOS 5 Bug in app store Categories button

In app store.app, after entering top charts, repeting touch the categories button, everytime it has been repeted instead of just doing the first time! This problem allso existed in other aspects of the ios 5 system.

Ok correction: this problem has occurred only once. That I found nothing can be clicked in app store.app. But right after I quit and get back, everything looks fine. Dont know why it happened at first, even dont know wheter it will happen again.

ITunes App Store no "Categories" menu?

Every category within the iTunes store has its own landing page, complete with a menu of top-level categories. Music and Movies has a Genres menu. Podcasts has a Categories menu. Audio Books has a "Popular Authors" menu where Genres ought to be (huh?) and what does the App Store have?
"App Store Quick Links", with such relatively arbitrary categories as "Comics", "Summertime", and "Zombies!".
Once all of my Zombie needs have been met, what if I'm looking for actual top-level categories such as Productivity, Weather or Business? The most consistent, intuitive thing would be to have a Genres/Categories menu like every other section, putting the user one click away from the content they're looking for.
There ARE methods of getting to specific app categories, but none of them meet the guidelines that Apple itself set out for app designers, such as not making users feel like they have to visit too many screens to go to the content they want, or using the left pane to provide users with a persistent menu of top-level categories. If the iTunes version of the App Store was up for review, it might well get rejected!
(Even the App Store on the iPhone/iPad, the most intuitive App Store interface of the lot, chooses to make top-level categorical content two "clicks" in, instead of one.)
Somewhere there's a UI developer pulling her hair out because Sales&Marketing thinks more apps would be sold if there was a "Zombies!" category where "Education" or "Travel" ought to be.

iTunes apps are for iOS devices such as iPads, iPhones, and the iPod touch.
Apps you download from the Mac App Store are for the Mac OS X.
Two different operating systems.

How do I get restrictions to block inappropriate content in the app store.

How do you set restrictions so that they work? Here is my problem. Your age restrictions do not block inappropriate content in the app store but it blocks the Netflix app from functioning and removes it's icon alltogether. This is rediculous. Apple continues to be behind the eight ball at customization. Apple continues to limit the user. PC magazine rated the ipad as the best new kids toy but did PC magazine know that Apple promotes adult content in the app store and that it's age restrictions do not protect children from viewing them?

Content is completely controllable in the App Store as well as iTunes.

Good luck

Try a reset: hold down the home button along with the power button until you see the Apple, then let go.
