Blocking Twitter in parental controls

I am trying to block twitter in parental controls for my daughter's account. I've entered http://twitter.com, https://www.twitter.com, all other combinations. It won't block it! I can block youtube no problem. Why can't I block twitter? Very frustrating.
Thanks.

Right, I know how to get to parental controls. I am able to do so and successfully block access to some web-sites but not twitter. Don't understand that.
Thanks.

Blocking titles with Parental Controls

Unlike Comcast, Verizon Fios Parental Controls do not let you block specific titles. I do not want to block entire channels or ratings. I just dont want my 10 year old to watch Family Guy, etc. Had I known I could not do this I never would have switched to Fios. I am going back to Comcast as soon as my contract expires.

Agreed. I used to be able to block titles with Comcast parental controls; it's annoying that I can't do this with Fios.
For example, I have shows >= TV-14 blocked. The other day, I noticed Married With Children wasn't being blocked as it was rated TV-PG. Seeing this, I tried to put in a block for this show and suddenly realized I couldn't!

I tried to go to websites I visit everyday and they are all blocked by a virus that appears to be from Mozilla (but isn't) and shows mozilla logo and said my website was blocked by Mozilla parent control and you have to sign up for it. It asks for all the personal info that you NEVER give online so I knew it was a virus. I am writing this in safe mode. My Vipre will not pick up this virus and Malware bites won't either. I deleated Mozilla and reinstalled it but it didn't work.

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

Whitelisting IP addresses after Parental Controls

When I enable webfiltering of stuff like Twitter using Parental Controls on the networked iMacs I control via ARD, it seems to block https traffic on sites I'd like to still allow, like Gmail and Yahoo Mail.
I know I can get around this by whitelisting particular IP addresss for those sites using Terminal, but what's the syntax?

...Imessages keeps asking for a new IP every time...
Are you sure? That doesn't make much sense to me...
Other than that, each website (read: domain) has an IP address. E.g. apple.com is 17.149.160.49. So, whatever you're up to, you can always use either domain names or IP addresses.
But not sure if that helps you with what you're up to or what you need. So, explain a bit more or better, please?

BT Parental controls - on when they're off!

I am trying to access a site to install a VPN on my PC. I keep getting an error message saying the site has been blocked by parental controls, but ive turned them off! Any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong, please? tks in advance

There seem to be some quite ordinary sites that are blocked even when Parental Controls are off.
I had to sign on to MyBT and remove Parental Controls as there didn't seem to be any other wat to get full access.

Disable the popup stating parental controls blocked the following sites

ON OS X 10.9 with parental controls enabled when a site is blocked Firefox throws up a popup stating what sites were blocked. I would like to stop this from happening, as in our environment we bloc Facebook, twitter, and other sites, so when I go to CNN firefox pops up saying a bunch of sites have been blocked and to try allow them. This popup is awful and needs to be removed...

I haven't used this feature...
Is there an add-on in Firefox that you can configure? You can check on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Command+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions.
''If there is an extension related to this function:'' check for an Options button to see whether you can set it to silent operation.
Next, in the left column, click Plugins.
''If there is a plugin related to this function:'' you could try setting it to "Never Activate" although this might completely disable the feature... Usually configuration for a plugin is done externally to Firefox.
If there are no add-ons related to this feature, check whether you can modify the behavior in the parental control software itself.

I would like to know how to block a website on all of Firefox, without using parental controls.

I remember some kind of control or perhaps an add on being advertized for one of the recent beta versions of Firefox 4.0 about blocking particular websites from all viewing on Firefox, not just as a parental control. The add-ons I saw are not for 4.0 Beta 12, the version I'm on now. Can anyone steer me to this feature, if it exists? Thank you!

Possibly BlockSite - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/blocksite
This one does not work on Firefox 4 but the developer is working on a new version.
You could use the Windows HOSTS file to block sites - http://allthingsmarked.com/2006/08/28/howto-block-websites-using-the-hosts-file

Due to a scam invading my server, Parental Controls is locked and I cannot add this site as blocked. Any ideas as how I can unlock parental Controls?

Due to a scam invading my computer recently, I cannot block these site in Parental Controls. This feature locks immediately and I must use Force Quit to close. Any ideas as to how to unlock Parental Controls? The two scams appear to be gone as I can now use Safari.

howdy my Scotch/Irish brother (I'm Irish descent - actually Norman invader, but hey)
I'm surprised you didn't ask our gracious Hosts to EDIT the live link in the OP's reply - seems very malicious indeed. I reported it already though asking that it be left as merely a domain name - can't save everyone when the ship sinks

Parental Controls are not working correctly. Websites I've listed under Allow Access are still blocked. How can I fix this?

Parental Controls are not working correctly. There are websites I've listed under Allow Access, however they are still blocked. - such as: Yahoo mail and USAA banking. How can I fix this?

Just thought I'd let you know. Our suspicions were correct, it was the OS. After I installed Snow Leopard (10.6.8) all the problems were corrected. I also updated the RAM from 1 gb to 6 gb. The mac is working all around better. Sorry it took so long to get back to everyone. My superdrive had pooped out. Rather than replace it I got an external drive from OWC connected with firewire 800. So far everything is running very well, as far as I can tell this external drive is better than the original superdrive. My superdrive has always acted funny, infact I returned the first mac I got after a week because its superdrive was also malfunctioning. Anyway, all that to say everything seems to be fully functioning again.

Parental controls blocks all https websites

When I enabled parental controls for my 9-year old, I didn't expect her not to be able to use Google, Gmail and just about every single other website that requires logging in. The reason? Those websites are all https websites and parental controls blocks *ALL* https websites.
With https becoming more and more prevalent on the web, adding an exception is not really an option anymore. I don't want to add an exception for half of the internet. It's gotten so bad that she's encountering a popup several times per minute when just doing a little research for her homework. Web filtering is apparently a whilelist only solution, suitable only for the smallest of children - the ones that you sit next to because they can't type a web address themselves, 5 years or younger.
The only solution I could find was to turn off web filtering completely and use OpenDNS instead. Does anyone else know of a better solution?

Hello,
A alternative application as a option that is very worthy,

Parental controls blocking ichat?

Hi, I recently made my son's account on our Mac not the Administrator and I made an account to be the new Admin. This is so that I can turn on the parental controls. I made no choices in the parental controls about iChat, I only used the time limit functions and the log functions. However, now that parental controls are enabled, my son's iChat is not working. It shows up as if he has no buddies, online or offline, and if you add a buddy the new buddy shows up under offline and is blocked. Then the buddy disappears. It seems that iChat is blocking him from talking to anyone. How can you fix this problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Let me see if I have under stood this.
There were at least two accounts on the computer that were Admin ones.
You son had one of these.
You have now made him a Non-Admin and Managed account through Parental Controls
You have created another Admin Account.
With the New Admin account you set the Parental Controls on your Son's account.
You did not do this from the Original Admin Account ?
If......
Your son was using the original Admin account and you set him up with iChat there it will have been linked to the Address Book.
If you then set him up with a new User account that was Not Admin but copied the Address Book across then you can have issues.
I have seen them if you use the iChat/Mail settings where the original Users Info has been transferred across but the Parental Controls overide things (and vice Versa as iChat is then somewhat unusable in the main Admin account as the Buddy List is effectively blocked).
I have not experimented with having two admin accounts and changing the original (first) account to a Managed one.
I have not tried Timed/schedule settings only either
DO NOT DELETE ANY ACCOUNT.
Do things works again if you set him back to an Admin account ?

How come when I block one website under parental controls, other websites become blocked?

I am a teacher and have found it necessary to block facebook. I am doing this under Parental Controls. Unfortunately, my students also frequent an Adobe website, I have discovered that by blocking facebook this site and others are not accessible. I then went and removed the block in Parental Controls and the Adobe site was still not accessible. I discovered that ONLY BY clicking on ALLOW UNRESTRICTED ACCESS TO WEBSITES were my students once again able to access the Adobe site.
Here is URL for the Adobe site: https://color.adobe.com/create/color-wheel/

Is there a solution to parental controls blocking https?

I have seen many posts regarding parental controls blocking any website that has SSL or https, but they are for older versions of OS X. Is there a solution for the latest version of Mavericks? I am amazed that the problem has persisted as long as this without Apple coming up with a better version of Parental Controls that can actually block inappropriate content not just ALL content. Thanks for any help out there!

No No No No I'm talking about completely shutdown

How do I go about blocking certain websites (i.e. parental control methods)?

Just wanted to look into creating a more controlled environment at home and wanted to learn about how to block certain URLs through my Firefox browser. I've done some searching but I can't figure it out.
