Can I disable WiFi or password protect Safari on my teenagers iPhone?

My 14 year old daughter has discovered MySpace! Not allowed in our home. We password protected our home iMac and had AT&T disable the EDGE data feature on her iPhone but she's using WiFi (on the iPhone, at home) to get to get around our efforts.
So my question is is there a way to password protect Safari on the iPhone? Just turning off the WiFi won't work because she knows how to turn it back on.

Do you not want her to have access to just MySpace, or the internet in general? If it is the Internet, you could block the iPhones MAC on the router. However, I question why you got her the iPhone in the first place. MySpace is a bit iffy, Facebook, less, but still iffy. I am 18 myself, so I know a bit how it is, having grown up in the time MySpace has grown in popularity. I really would hate to give out parenting advice as I am far from being one. Take it as more of advice from somebody who finally appreciates the restrictions my parents placed on me when I was that age.
While blocking is good, it is also very important to teach them safety. Like many people have said, kids are devious, they will find a way. If her friends are on MySpace, she will find a way. Trust me, schools blocking it doesn't even help is stopping it. Teach online safety. One thing I have heard is allowing them to be on MySpace, but making them ad YOU as a friend allowing you to somewhat monitor who they friend and such. Someone also mentioned that fact that Version 2.0 is supposed to have Parental Controls. I would assume that would allow the things you have described. We can only hope they port from Leopard and allow times and such to be added.
Quick question, do YOU have an iPhone?

    PASSWORD PROTECTING A PAGE WITH A NICE BOX DESIGNED INTO YOUR PAGE
    FINALLY, I'VE FOUND AN ANSWER TO PASSWORDING A PAGE OR SECTION WITH ADOBE MUSE WITH GREAT SIMPLICITY AND ALLOWING YOU TO 'DESIGN' THE PASSWORD BOX INTO YOUR PAGE!!!
    Even better is that you don't HAVE to have username AND password (although you could if you wanted to), so just a simple PASSWORD box and enter button DESIGNED BY YOU WITHIN YOUR PAGE, rather than nasty popups etc.  Importantly, the password itself is NOT within the source code of your page either!!
    The solution is at Jotform.com. I believe you can do this with a FREE ACCOUNT, although it's SUCH a great service for Musers that I paid for a proper account.
    Before you do this, create a page on your site saying "Wrong Password. Please go away" or something to that effect. You'll need it for when they enter the wrong password.
    So, in Jotform, you just create a new form and:
    1. Drag on a password box (it's in the power tools section)
    2. Select it and go to Conditions
    3. Go to Change Thank You URL after submission
    4. Enter: If [name of your password box] field EQUALS TO [enter your password]
    5. In the "Then redirect to" box, enter the URL of your protected page and click save
    6. In the resulting box click "ADD A NEW CONDITION" and do the SAME as stets 3 to 5 but this time say NOT EQUALS TO" with your same password and in the "Then redirect to" box, enter the URL of your WRONG PASSWORD page and click save
    7. Embed the button on your page and you're done!!!
    If you want to mess about with the EXACT alignment of a right aligned button and text box, you can go to Preferences and in the box which allows you to add your own custom CSS, enter the following code and mess about with the values until it's perfect for you:
    .form-buttons-wrapper { padding-top:3px !important; }#id_2 {margin-left: -50px !important;}
    Here's an example, built in Muse: www.hileytv.com/about.html
    I hope this helps my fellow Musers!

  • Can I set up a password protected webpage within my site? CS4

    Can I set up a password protected webpage within my site? I'm using CS4 and would like to create an orphaned page for internal use only.  Is there any way you can set up a password protect on one page within an otherwise public website?
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Cheers

    The simplest way to achieve this would be to enable password protection for a certain subdirectory by using .htaccess. As long as you / your provider is using apache as web server this can be setup within minutes, all you need is a ftp client (plenty of freeware ones out there),
    and here's a tutorial on how to do it: http://www.javascriptkit.com/howto/htaccess3.shtml Google will list many more if you search for "htaccess password"
    Or, send your provider an email, he might be willing to do it for you, maybe even for free, since it doesnt take more than 5 minutes to set up.

  • Since upgrade to IOS 10.9 and associated iTunes 11.1.3, I can no longer WiFi sync iPad (IOS 7.0.3) nor iPhone (IOS 6.1.3).  USB connection is required.  Formerly I could sync both devices without locating them physically (not necessarily charging).

    Since upgrade to OS 10.9 and associated iTunes 11.1.3, I can no longer WiFi sync iPad (IOS 7.0.3) nor iPhone (IOS 6.1.3).  USB connection is required.  Formerly I could sync both devices without locating them physically (not necessarily charging).  I have restarted both devices, turned off and on "Sync with this iPad/iPhone over WIFI" and restarted WiFi.  WiFi is operating (iPad has no SIM).  What next?

    I'm also affected by this bug in exactly the same way as you.
    Some users have had success by closing iTunes, enetering (on OS 10.9) settings --> network --> edit locations, then create a new location with the same wifi/network settings. Then restarting iTunes.
    Others have had some success by editing settings --> iCloud --> de-selecting keychain
    neither of these fixes have worked for me.
    It appears that the iPad can "see" iTunes running on my iMac because when I open settings --> general --> 'iTunes wifi sync', "sync now" is greyed out if iTunes is not running. When iTunes is started, "sync now" is enabled but just doesn't work. Nor does the iPad appear in iTunes.

    Help! I have to keep entering my wifi WEP password every time I slide my iphone 4S on  again.  It doesn't store the password as it should.

    The use of WEP is not recommended for compatibility, reliability, performance, and security reasons; WEP is insecure and functionally obsolete. Any reason you're using WEP? I ask, because you might as well not have any security at all, & this is most likely your issue.

    You need to stop the recording. Is it reading Recording Paused? If so, instead of tapping the red button to stop it, tap the word DONE. That is what actually stops the recording. Tapping the red button just pauses it.

  • Wifi and Password Protected Hot Spots

    I'm one of the many who will be buying an iPod Touch!! But I just wanted to know if you will be able to access Wifi in places where you need a password to access the Internet, such as in universities. I saw the unveiling of the new iPods and I'm pretty sure he mentioned something about him not liking the fact that you need a password to access the Internet in certain places. So did he say that you will be able to use Wifi on the iPod touch even without a password? Thanks!!

    So then why did Steve Jobs even mention him not liking having to have a password to access Wifi networks if he wasn't even going to fix the problem?
    Go back an listen to what Steve said again, because you did not listen carefully.
    He said that many devices that use the internet have issues because you need to enter passwords to access hotspots and because these devices don't have a full internet browser you can't enter the details. What the iPod touch provides is a full internet browser (Safari) and that allows you to enter the login details for internet hot spots. See the difference?
    So you can use password protected hot spots, you need to enter the password and the iPod touch using Safari allows you to do that.
    Simple!

  • Any user can unlock any other user password protected screen?

    Major problem I'm having...!
    On my Macbook Air - both myself and my wife can unlock each others password protected screen saver?
    Surely this shouldn't be the case...?
    We are both admin - but I would of assumed each could only unlock it's own user password protected screen saver.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    ..."That doesn't make sense...as the login window is available from that password protected screensaver also..."...
    The option to switch to the loginwindow only appears if the "Fast User Switching" GUI is enabled in the "Accounts" pref pane. If that option were to be disabled and eg. a user on a shared computer went home without logging out, in the absence of "admin" access, that computer would be entirely unusable to other users short of pulling the plug, which might interrupt any background operations in progress.
    I suppose the behaviour could be alterred depending on the "FUS" status, but really, what would be the point since, as you acknowledge, an "admin" user ultimately has the ability to access an open session anyway?
    For reference, note that "admin" users, in addition to the "session owner" are granted the right to unlock the screen in the "/private/etc/authorization" file under the 'system.login.screensaver' key so the behaviour can be adjusted from there.

  • Password Protect Safari

    Hi I am running Safari 4.0.4 for Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit. I was wondering if there is any add-on maybe or a setting I'm overlooking in the preferences that i can password protect my safari program. For example everytime the program is opened it would prompt for a password in order to use safari.

    Nothing I can think of in the Safari settings themselves, I'm afraid.
    Is your normal Vista user account a non-administrator account? If so you could try setting up a Vista parental control for Safari, so that you were the only person who could use it. (Unfortunately, that won't work if your user account has full administrative rights.)

  • Why can't I save my password protected file in a password protected folder?

    I've just encrypted my folder which contains password protected files. I've attempted to save a new password protected file (Word document) but have had to save it to my desktop because when I try to save the file to the folder I receive a message: "Word cannot save or create this file. The disk may be full [which it is not] or write-protected [which it is]". Sooooooo. Does this mean I can only password protect the folder and not the files? Which is really annoying because I really do need the two levels of security. Please can someone help?

    File Vault is not in Disk Utility.  It is in System Preferences/Security/FileVault.

  • Can time machine files be password protected?

    My college-aged daughter has a Macbook Pro and a portable external hard drive (Mini-G) that she uses as a back up drive with Time Machine. I am concerned that if she lost her external drive or if it were stolen, the files on the drive would be accessible to anyone (I can get to them with my MBP). The computer itself is password protected but the back up drive is not. Does anyone know how I can password-protect the drive or do something else for security?
    Thanks

    the mac way to do this is to enable filevault on her home directory. then the home directory will be kept in an encrypted disk image which nobody can open without a password. same will be true for the backups of that home directory on the TM drive. but filevault has some unpleasant limitations for TM. you can't use TM interface to restore files ina filevaulted home directory and it's only backed up when you log out.
    the only other option is to use full disk encryption like PGP.
    I think it works with Time machine but I'm really not sure on this.

  • Can a Keynote presentation be password protected

    Thanks,
    Greg

    Not from within the iWork applications. Use an encrypted disk image or a third-party method. Placing the password in the keychain will automatically unlock the image when your Mac OS X account is active.
