Can you disable wifi - parental control

I'd like to turn off the wifi on an itouch so that my son can't surf the web.
My understanding is that there isn't any parental controls on the itouch. Is there a way to remove a physical component so that wifi doesn't work?
other ideas?
I can keep him from accessing wifi at home via the firewall, but not at school or any retail store that offers wifi.

I am outraged to see how careless you are. We, parents of those "spoiled rugrats" have trusted Apple wouldn't release such a product that does and has everything else but parental control.
Apple uses its capacity of hard core marketing but doesn't take responsibility for the consumers it creates. Yes, we can tust our kids with a $400 gadget but we also know their brains are a little soft. The web is the world they can discover with the touch of a fingertip but it's also a place for shady minds just waiting to exploit them. I don't want my kid searching Google and ending up on a **** site.
You are right, I'm going to return that senseless gadget to the store.
As for me, I don't and I will never buy an ipod, I am mature enough for not being trapped by Apple's claws but I have a kid that still depends on such small things. And you know we all went through that fase.
The least Apple should do is disclose at the moment of purchase that there's no parental control and honestly it hadn't crossed my mind that it didn't have any.
P.S - I was previewing my message and the word referring to a site with se... content was blocked! How interesting!

  • Can I use my Time Capsule for wifi parental control?

    Can I use my Time Capsule for WiFi parental control.  The objective first is to use a time clock to control internet access (completely on or off).  Second objective is to use the Time Capsule which is also the WiFi router for more selective internet control?  Anyone out there have any tips on making this work?  We have Time Warner cable feeding the house internet, which is then corrected to the 2Tb Time Capsule which also provides our WiFi.  Any information including other alternatives would be most appreciated.  Surely we are not the only parents on the planet with this issue.  Thanks very much!

    how do I get the Mac addresses for each device (this won't be a problem, I demand the device, check it, and then return it).
    What wireless devices are we looking at here?
    Most devices have the AirPort ID or MAC Address or Hardware Address printed on the back or bottom of the device
    Otherwise, you can learn the correct number by process of elimination. Turn off all wireless devices except your Mac computer....if it is connecting using wireless.
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click on the Time Capsule icon
    Look for Wireless Clients and click on the numerical IP address that is displayed
    Another box will open
    Look for the Hardware Address. It will be displayed as xx : xx : xx : xx :xx : xx
    Write that down and note that it is your Mac.
    Now, connect another wireless device and repeat the sequence.  Click on the "other" listing that you see to find out more info about that device.  Write down the ID or Address and note what device it is. Then power it off.
    Do the same for each wireless device that you want to have limited access.
    Post back when you have all the info.

  • HT2900 what if the parental control is eabled for administrator, how to disable the parental control?

    I tried to disable the parental control for the administrator, but after reboot, the parental control is still enabled for administrator.

    1st option
    Try to log on on an another admin account on your Machine and change that.
    2nd option
    if there is no other admin you have to create a new user as an admin.
    Reboot. When the screen goes black hold "command- s" to enter in Single user mode
    type /sbin mount -uw /     
    its /sbin(space)mount(space)-uw(space)/
    then enter
    type rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
    its rm(space)/var/db/.AppleSetupDone
    enter
    Type Reboot
    enter
    The system, will restart with like setting up a new machine (dont worry your user files are not deleted)
    set up a new account. then after that check teh user accounts on system prefrences. remove managed and boot on to your pervious user.
    After managing to make your Previous usre an admin delete the other extra user that you created 
    Try to enable firmware password so that you can only do that to your  machine. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1352

  • Can you disable the home button?

    My Ipod will close apps and go to the home screen for no reason.  Can you disable the home button/function to prevent this from happening?

    http://nealbo.hubpages.com/hub/Recalibrate-Unresponsive-iPhone-Home-Button
    Step 1: Open a stock iPhone app. e.g. Apples Stocks, Weather, SMS, Email etc.
    Step 2: Press and hold the power button until the swipe to power off screen appears.
    Step 3: Let go of the iPhone's power button
    Step 4: Press and hold the iPhone's home button. Do not let go until the power off screen disappears.
    And that's it, your home button is recalibrated and should hopefully now be more responsive.
    This seemed to make it better, but not fixed.

    Can you Disable the emergency call (911) or change the number. When my phone is locked I keep calling it when the phone is in my pocket.
    Even if I could change the number that would help but I think 911 is starting to hate me.

    Hi Evtek,
    I'm afraid that there does not appear to be any way to disable the autocomplete of the LabVIEW combo box.  If this is a real problem the best suggestion I could give you would be to try the .net combo box.  This does allow you to disable the autocomplete mode although obivously the programming would be slightly more complex than the built in combo box.
    Otherwise you could use the update value on every key and use a different event to trigger the movement or if it isnt the enter key that is pressed do nothing in the event case.

  • How can you disable receiving Broadcast Messages?

    How can you disable receiving Broadcast Messages 
    Without deleting your Contacts ?

    I don't have access to my phone at the moment so I'm going on memory alone.  On your homescreen follow Options>Advanced System Settings>Cell Broadcasting, or maybe you'll see Options>Device>Advanced System Settings>Cell Broadcasting.  I'm sorry I can't be more specific without a phone in front of me.
    Let us know if that helps you. 
    - If my response has helped you, please click "Options" beside my post and mark it as solved. Clicking the "thumbs up" icon near the bottom of my response would also be appreciated.

  • Can you disable the camera from the lock screen? iOS8.0.2

    I have a brand new iPhone 6, updated to iOS 8.0.2 and my friends like to steal my phone and take HUNDREDS of photos and that takes up a lot of space. And my question is: can you disable the camera option on the lock screen only. I know you can do it with restrictions but I don't want to loose full camera options. Just from the lock screen. Thanks!

    I agree with the don't let them steal your phone part. But these friends aren't the friends that they sound like. Plus, this wasn't very helpful. But thank you for the "response"

  • Can you disable the battery or not allow it to charge even if it is pluged in?

    Can you disable the battery or charging function even if the laptop is pluged in to a power outlet? Is there any internal switch?

    Your battery will remain healthy - and discharge a bit - even when you're plugged into mains. If you're going to run primarily of mains, you should disconnect your MBP about every two weeks and allow it to drain down to about 30-40% and then allow it to recharge - this will keep the ions in the battery 'moving'.
    Most of the time you just needn't worry about the battery - just use it thoughtfully.
