Can't modify bookmarks on managed account
I just tried to change some sites for my son's managed account in Safari 4 and it didn't work. Clicking on the (padlocked) bookmarks bar icon prompts for an administrator password as with Safari 3. However, nothing happens and the bookmarks bar doesn't open up. Is this a known bug? Has anyone else experienced this?
Turning off parental controls it all worked properly, but this 'workaround' makes it a pain to modify the bookmarks as it requires me to log him out, turn off parental controls on Safari, then log him back in, change the bookmarks, log him out, turn on parental controls and, finally, log him back in.
Some additional information. Prompted by the problem posted here. I tried clicking cancel. It works.
Seems like Apple has really messed this one up and got it all backwards. If you enter a password it rejects you, but if you cancel it allows you to do whatever.
Now where should I report this major bug?

Can I prevent printing from managed accounts???
I want to disable printing from the kids' user accounts. So far, I can either have everyone print or have nobody print. I haven't figured out if this is even possible. Still, I'm hoping I don't have to take the printer off of the network to manage printing.
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7)I believe the best and easiest way is to use the Server Admin Tools.
I think the only other way besides the Server Admin Tools is to manually edit the cupsd.conf file.

I'm the administrator but I can't click on the managed account. It's check marked, and the user can't log on until after noon tomorrow. I set this up, but now I want to change it. I can't click on the account; it's grayed out; I can't log the user out.
Sounds like you'll have to power down & reboot.

How can I add a new user to my managed account?
*There is an existing skype user. i.e She already has a skype account
*I have a Skype Manager account and want to provide her with SkypeCredit
*I am having trouble doing that. It seems that I can add a new member to my group only if they are a new user (i.e. they get a new skype address). Then I seem to have learned that this might not be possible if I or they (?) are in the US.
Will someone clarify this?
Skype support tells me that:
"Reymark C: I am afraid adding members in somewhere in US is no longer available."
Is this somewhere on the help pages that I missed. Being logged-in, skype knows where I am (or where I list my home as). Why did it let me waste so much time struggling with this?
Also, why is there this restriction?
...after much other talk.....
L JEPSON: Question: Can I add skype credit to another person's account?
Reymark C: That;s only possible once he is already added to your manage account.
L JEPSON: You said I cannot add members in the US.
Reymark C: Those are only possible outside US.
L JEPSON: So I can not add anyone to my manager account, b/c I am in the US, correct?
Aside, why can't the skype support use skype-screenshare? I wanted to show what I saw. Instead, we had me sign some online contract, gave control of my computer to the support person. Spent a fair amount of time doing this. Enable your users to use skype to see our screens, please, Microsoft. You can still record the conversation and record the screenshare, can't you?Team license links that may help

Hi,
we as a company consider to use the iPhone instead of the Blackberrys for business telecommunication.
I, personally, use the iPhone privatly. I have my account and download the Apps I need.
But how can a company like ours manage this? Is there a possiility to install an account for the company with one Apple-ID? Are the employees allowed to install the mandatory Apps. by using this account? Or should the company install everything centrally by MDM e.g.?
How about licensing?
Thanks in advanxce for your answers!!
Best regardsSorry everyone...I forgot to add that I have 10.10 Yosemite installed on both drives

How can I access my parents iCloud account remotely to assist with photo management and printing?
I tried that without any luck. I was hoping I could get Apple to reset it for me or delete the account so I could recreate it or at least tell me what is listed as my birth date, the security question answer.

Your instructions for importing bookmarks/favorites are to click the top left Firefox button and select "import" to start the process. I don't have that option, there is not "import" in the drop down menu. How can I import bookmarks into Firefox?
You will still find it in the File menu in the Firefox 5 version that you are using.<br />
If Firefox 7 is has been moved to the Bookmarks Manager.
Press F10 or tap the Alt key to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily if the Menu Bar is hidden.
If you managed the bookmarks via the Google toolbar on the Google server then see:

Managed user account can't be accessed thru admin account
In trying to get a handle on my 14 year old son's computer habits I established myself with an administrator account and his user account is managed by me through parental controls.
When in my Admin account I go through System Preferences> Accounts. My son's account (and mine) appear on the left however I cannot get into his account. I created a test user and it does allow me to enter into it to create parental controls.Is the son's account logged out? Parental controls can't be applied to an account that is logged in.

Firefox didn't sync my bookmark to my account???? WTF. i reinstall my windows but i thought ff synced my bookmarks. .. how can i restore my bookmark from my account?????
Sorry. Sync isn't really intended as a backup medium as you were trying to use it for. It isn't meant to be a storage "cloud". It's purpose is to keep Firefox bookmarks synchronized across multiple Firefox installations or Profiles - so all your bookmarks are the same on each device / Profile.

I can't access "Manage Account" in Firefox Sync
I set up Firefox Sync on 4 devices - three Windows PC computers (standard user accounts on all three) and one Android smartphone. The initial syncs all went fine, but I ran into real problems when I also tried to sync Firefox in my administrative account on one of my PCs. This attempt failed, and now syncs aren't happening for any of my devices, even when I execute a "Sync Now," and the "Manage Account" button has disappeared from all of the Sync Options dialog boxes (the same box that is reached when the "Set Up Sync..." menu command is given) on all of my computers, no matter what I do, so I can't get to my Recovery Key. When I do "Set Up Sync..."/"I have an account"/"Sync Options", the Device Name is correct for all my computer's accounts, even the administrative account I tried to set up, and my Android phone keeps saying that my device is being synched on a regularly basis (although only with data already on the server, not with data from any of my other devices), so my Sync account shows some signs of life. I'm wondering how I get Sync working again?
I use Secure Login (Firefox extension) for my password manager rather than Firefox's own password manager.
Also, although it would be very nice to be able to recover my Recovery Key, I don't know how far that would go towards solving my basic problem, getting Sync back up and working again.
Thanks for the reply. -

How can I make Safari available for my children's 'managed' accounts please?
Hi,
I am having trouble with Safari on my iMac. Safari opens and works fine for the administrator's account, but either cannot be seen, or is the icon appears as a question mark on my children's 'managed' accounts. I have tried changing the parental controls on their accounts, but nothing works. Similarly, deleting the account and reopening it, does not make any difference. Please can some one tell me what I am doing wrong?Dear QuickTimeKirk,
Many thanks. Mission accomplished!! -
Stuck in a F'fox 9 Sync configuration loop - account already exists but can't manage account-
I'm stuck in a loop trying to configure and use Firefox 9's Sync feature.
On System "A", I have used the Set Up Sync tool to create a Sync account: I belive the account is valid insofar as I can use the email address and password supplied to the Set Up Sync tool to log in to the Web-base Sync portal.
But if I then use Tools —> Options —> Sync to manage my Sync Account or Add a device, all I see is a Set Up Sync button; no Manage Account button or features. AND if I try to re-create my Sync account, the tools reports that the email address is already in use.
On system B, the behavior is essentially identical. I can't CREATE a Sync account with the same email address as System A, but I also can't manage or add devices.
I've been using computers since 1981, and generally can work through these issues. But I'm completely confounded: It seems I've successfully created a Sync account, but on two computers Firefox 9 refuses to permit me to manage or otherwise use that account.Thanks for the solution. It was *definitely* helpful.
I must say that having worked through the configuration, I did NOT experience the usual "doh!" or even an "ah ha!" moment ala "Oh, I was so thick not to figure this out".
That is to say that, thanks to you, I now have a better understanding of how to make Firefox Sync work, but the steps and controls still seem a bit convoluted and opaque to me.
That notwithstanding, thanks again for your help.
