Can free apps be downloaded when restrictions are on?

Can my grandson order free applications when restriction are on?  I want him to be able to play but not to be able to order expensive apps  (he is 6 years old).

Just to confirm this, if you set the restriction for Installing Apps to the Off position, then App Store icon will dissapear from the Home screen entirely. so no not even Free Apps can be downloaded.
Setting it to On, is the equivalent of doing nothing, so it becomes pointelsss to set restrictions if they are not enforced shall we say.
The only way to prevent purchases of payed apps but still allow free Apps, is to remove the Payment option form the associated apple ID.  That way there is no way to pay so no way to download paid apps.
Go to  Settings->iTunes and App Stores->Apple ID->View Apple ID->Payment Information-> Set it to None.

  • Can Gifted apps be downloaded directly on the iPhone?

    Can gifted apps be downloaded directly to the iPhone, or do they have to be downloaded and synced through itunes?

    The recipient of a gifted app receives a Redeem Now email which contains the code. If you are reading the email on your iPhone all you have to do is tap the Redeem Now link and the app is downloaded and installed on the spot.

    Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
    This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

  • When restrictions are on, can specific apps be used?

    I currently have restrictions set that only allow apps with an ages 12+ Rating. Is there a way to leave the restriction setting as is, but allow certain apps? Because of it's browser, 1passeword is 17+ which on this setting is blocked. Can I allow it somehow?

  • My daughter has an iPod touch and is emailing a much older boy via text free app she downloaded. How can I see the conversations? Please help and thank you

    Please help me...My 12year old daughter has been talking to a older teenager through the text free app. How can I see the conversations? Also, there is a photo vault that is locked. What is that? Please someone help me. I don't know what else to do. I paid and downloaded a program that is supposed to tell you everything that's on the ipod but that was a joke. Thanks for your help.

    As long as you can't get a hold of the device, you can't do anything more than talking to your daughter about it.
    Erasing the device could also be an option to keep her from using apps you don't want her to have on her device.
    Try talking first

  • How they can say it's fine when there are so many problems?

    I've had my Macbook barely a month, but I've taken it to the store twice for diagnostics, called Apple.com 3 times, erased and reloaded everything, and still have numerous issues despite being told 'it all checks out' and a 'replacement is not indicated'...it has more problems than my 6 yr old Compaq desktop...
    It started 20 hrs after purchase when, aften shutting down, the sleep light apparently came on and overheated the computer. It could only be turned on again after taking out the battery. This has happened 4 times, despite being sure I'm proprerly signed out and the screen is dark before shutting. Then once it woulnd't boot up - just showed muclitple colored verticle lines...a call seems to have handled that, but the result is irregularly being able to access the internet, whether thru Safari or Firefox. The address shows in teh URL line but hte screen remains white and blank. Occasionally it freezes in an email, is very delayed in receiving or sending something or loading a page. It's not MSN or my DSL as my old computer is managing this well. It's been very frustrating as all my Mac firend told me how great they were...but I'm afraid this new version with the intel processor has bugs to get worked out. It's at the store as I speak and they tell me it checks out fine, tho I've spent hours dealing with each new bug...and I'm trying to start a business and can't afford the time these issues are taking! Any suggestions? REading the others comments, it doesn't sound like I'm the only one, but am not sure how to advocate at this point.

    A few comments/suggestions:
    It started 20 hrs after purchase when, aften shutting
    down, the sleep light apparently came on and
    overheated the computer. It could only be turned on
    again after taking out the battery. This has
    happened 4 times, despite being sure I'm proprerly
    signed out and the screen is dark before shutting.
    I've seen a couple of posts complaining of sleeping MacBooks not really sleeping and becoming very hot when closed. What others have suggested is making very sure that the sleep light is pulsing, to make sure its really asleep, before closing the lid. This is if your intention is to put the machine to sleep, not shut it down completely.
    Your use of the term "signed out" makes me wonder if you mean "logged out". Once or twice I have seen my machine pop up a message after I try to log out, that some process has hung, and it refuses to go further. I would imagine there could be a problem if you close the lid in this state. (The process that syncs iDisk was the culprit in the instance I remember.)
    If you've completely shut down the machine, I don't know how it could turn itself back on unless there's truly a hardware problem.
    Then once it woulnd't boot up - just showed
    muclitple colored verticle lines...a call seems to
    have handled that, but the result is irregularly
    being able to access the internet, whether thru
    Safari or Firefox. The address shows in teh URL
    line but hte screen remains white and blank.
    The refusal to boot up and instead show colored vertical lines is allegedly a problem with OS 10.4.7, which may be permanently fixed by the next OS release.
    To temporarily get it to boot, reset the PRAM/NVRAM by holding down the cmd-option-P-R keys while restarting until it chimes twice.
    If the problem recurs, to make a fix that "sticks", once you're booted up, change your screen resolution to something else and back again. This writes to PRAM. This has worked for me.
    Occasionally it freezes in an email, is very
    delayed in receiving or sending something or loading
    a page. It's not MSN or my DSL as my old computer is
    managing this well.
    If you're running many applications, especially CPU-hungry ones, with limited memory, you might have delays as your email or browser pages in and out of memory. However, I don't notice this on my machine with 512MB, like yours, running several typical apps at once. Running anything under Rosetta, like MS Office, will chew up memory.
    Depending on your network hardware, you might try isolating to see if the problem is in your network setup. For example, if your DSL is connected to a router, try a wired ethernet connection straight to your DSL modem and see if the problems go away. Then work logically backwards.
    The previous post from nazdarky is describing the "random shutdown problem", but I didn't get from your post that this is one of your problems.

  • Can any app be downloaded and used on the new OS Mountain Lion?

    Can any app from the app store be used on the new Mountain Lion OS?
    Or is only the iMessage, Notes e.c.t...?

    Hi...
    For third party software, it depends on the whether or not the app's developer updates his or her software to meet Mountain Lion's requiremeents.
    Since Mountain Lion won't be released, according to Apple, until this summer, regarding iMessage and Notes, since they are native to the Mac OS X, they should not be a problem.

  • Free apps I downloaded won't sync to my iPod touch using version 1.1.4

    Hi, this is my first post, ever.
    I downloaded a bunch of free apps for my iPod Touch (1st generation, using version 1.1.4 of the software), but they won't sync from iTunes to my iPod Touch.
    Maybe they "expired" and aren't free any more, so that's why they won't sync? I don't know.
    Please let me know what I should do.
    Thanks,
    cmj

    ... and even if the Apps don't require OS 3, they will need at least OS 2. Since you don't even have that on your iPod, that's why they will not Sync. There is no option to move up to version 2 of the OS, so go straight to version 3.0. It doesn't cost much - and you'll be glad you did it.
