EA4500 Parental Controls are not flexible.

1) Why does it not save my time schedule.  Ex.  If I have built a time schedule for a device, and then decide to temporatily override the schedule (block always, or never) when I go back to the schedule it's gone and replaced by some default schedule.  I end up rebuilding the schedule every time which I can't even do from my mobile.  The internet in my house is used as a punishment/reward system for other behariors so I go through this all the time.  The old software was much more flexible in this respect.
2) Why can I build a list of saved schedules and apply them to a device (or devices) as needed and change as often as needed.  The old software allowed this.
3) Device groups.  Why can't I group devices.  I have two sons and each has 3 or 4 devices (pc, phone, Playstation, etc).  I would like to be able to group these devices and be able to apply restrictions to the group.  For example when son has homework I want to turn all his stuff off until it's done, then go back to the schedule on all devices.  I need to be able to do this easily in one step, from my mobile.
Please add these features and flexibility.  I'm sure may parents will benefit.
Thank you ,

Let me know the model number of the Router? The Parental controls feature may vary among various models. There are only two Linksys/Cisco router like E4200 v1 and E1200 v2 has an access features offer both Internet Access Policy and Parental controls where in you can restrict the Internet according to the specified timings.
Here is the link which will help you in setting it up for restricting Internet access: http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=47ca0674f26d425e81592ca55ba3152b_21460.xml&pid=80&...
Second you cannot edit the time frame except the provided one. Well you have to wait for the future firmware release which can add the support for editing the time.

    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 are not sufficiently flexible

    I would like to be able to set parental controls for school nights only.
    I would like to be able to enter times rather than being limited to a drop down list.
    I  find the current options to be very limiting.
    Is these something that can be changed in the near future.

  • Parental controls are not blocking specific web sites

    Using 10.6.1 I am unable to block specific web sites through the parental controls. The site in particular I was trying to block ended in .tv/ Is there a problem in snow leopard or is this type of site not able to be blocked?

    There are a variety of Adobe services that need to remain enabled in order for Photoshop to work.
    I would log in to the administrator account and make sure anything with Adobe is set to "allow."
    Then, log in to the restricted account and test. If Photoshop works as expected, you can turn off one item at a time until you find the one that "breaks" Photoshop's functionality.

  • The time limits on the parental controls do not work. Apple does not seem to know how to fix this issue since the problem has been going on since at least leopard.

    The time limits in the parental controls do not work. I have several mac systems and they do not work on all of them. Also, I have had this problem since at least snow leopard and it is very frustrating that Apple is unable to fix a simple issue like this. All they have to do is somehow 'hard-wire' the time limits to the system clock but they are not listening. I used the feed-back feature in their support webpage and hopefully everybody else experiencing this issue will too. Thus, if they get a thousand notes on this issue they might listen and finally fix it.

    Well, the whole system with those time limits are funky. Sometime this happens, sometime that happens. When the user is on the bed time limits do not work nor do the length of time limits. It is very frustrating as one of the reasons I bought an apple in the first place was those parental controls which did not exist in Windows prior to Windows 7. I do have a Windows 7 machine now and the bed time limits work there. Maybe you have a Windows 7 machine as well and can let them use it.

  • Who else has a problem with parental controls enabled not being able to run Firefox on the Mac?

    Who else has a problem with parental controls enabled not being able to run Firefox on the Mac? (Any solutions?) (BTW. Chrome doesn't work either)

    Although FF4 is so nice I'm almost ready to ditch iGoogle!
    Please fix what appears to be an RSS/iGoogle issue with FF4...
    Gmail is fine, but titles dont show in most RSS feed gadgets and no stories, strangely, apart from this one:
    http://www.google.com.au/ig/directory?hl=en&url=www.google.com/ig/modules/builtin_news_technology.xml
    Which if you enter the last part of the url reports that
    "<Content type="html">
    This is a builtin module, so the UserPrefs and Content are ignored."
    Any ideas?

  • Youtube Safety Mode will turn on if Windows 7 Parental Controls are enabled.

    Youtube Safety Mode will turn on if Windows Parental Controls are enabled.
    If I disable parental controls, safety mode safety mode will turn itself off. But if parental controls are re-enabled, safety mode will turn itself on. If I then try to turn it off manually, it says that it's been disabled, but it still stays on.
    The only parental control that's enabled is the time limits. There are no other restrictions enabled. There is no other filtering software installed. It is doing this on three separate machines.
    This is a problem specific to Firefox. Chrome and Internet Explorer do not exhibit this behavior. For the moment, they are using Chrome, as I do not wish to turn off parental controls.
    This is recent behavior, within the last week or so. Prior to this, it didn't have any problems at all. I don't have an exact date when it started, but it sounds like it was one of the last few upgrades.
    Is there a configuration setting to tell Firefox to not look at parental controls?

    Apologies. I hadn't realized info here didn't filter its way back.
    There was already a bug filed. If anyone else reading this has this issue, please comment there.

  • EA4500 Parental Controls

    Firmware v2.1.39.145204   -  Parental Controls simply do not work.  I have tried setting with specific times and setting to block "always".  In both cases, the wireless device continues to get connected to the internet.  I even reloaded the firmware. 

    It should work. I have many that do.
    Keep in mind that the parental control only works if the internet is hooked into the Internet Port (WAN) on the router.
    If you have range extenders that bridge the network parental controls will not work for device connect to that device.
    Please remember to Kudo those that help you.

  • Parental controls are blocking an allowed app

    I am setting up a second user with parental controls to block out app store and limit the internet. One of my apps (an online trading app called fxtrade) won't launch even though I ticked it in the options box in the parental controls area- and even though I try to give it permission by putting in my password. any ideas?P

  • Parental Controls do not work.

    I recently setup a computer for my boss' daughter and in doing so enabled the parental controls. Everything appeared to be working correctly until I got a call tonite. When I first setup the parental controls feature, I gave my boss' daughter access to only ONE site.... Yahooligans (The YAHOO SITE FOR KIDS). She came home today and typed in yahoo.com in the address bar and the main site came up with full search capabilities. Eveything else is being blocked as expected but this totally defeats the purpose of having a kids site if the kids can type in yahoo.com and get to the full acess/full search site. Anyone else having these problems..... or know of a third party software for Mac to block content?
    Thanks in advance for your input

    Often, when it isn't possible to select an application for use in a "managed" account, the fault lies with the developer of the software for failing to follow Apple's guidelines and omitting eg. the 'CFBundleIdentifier' from the programme's "Info.plist" file.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300842
    As the article suggests, it would be best to check with the developer, although it may be possible for a user to edit the file themselves in some cases, but given the effort involved, most people seem to find the alias workaround good enough.
    Regarding the presence of the "Shared" folder in a "Simple Finder" user's "Dock", these managed user preferences are all stored in 'mcx_settings' in the "NetInfo" database, in plain text so it is possible (though somewhat tedious) to edit them. Another option is to download the "Server Admin Tools" from Apple, which includes "Workgroup Manager.app" which allows some fine-grained, though not complete control over these settings through the plist editor (it isn't exactly user-friendly either, but it is sort of a GUI).
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/serveradmintools1047.html
    However, if the concern is that the user can open applications that haven't been selected, note that blocking access to the "Shared" folder still won't prevent users from launching programmes by other means.

  • Parental Controls do not control Front Row

    Hello everyone-
    I have noticed that on my managed accounts if I do not select Front Row as a permitted application it runs just fine anyway from within the managed accounts. I can launch it from either the Finder or the keyboard shortcut and the content it displays (Top Musics Videos from the iTunes store etc) does not seem to be restricted in any way by the parental controls in iTunes.
    Has anyone found a fix for this, or is this one more thing in the list of things we are all waiting for in 10.5.2?
    -Mike
