Facebook (website) block while studying

Hi,
I'm studying for a degree and have discovered over last few assignments there's a lot of chatter on facebook about the answers and rumours etc. I don't want to reject these friends or close my account but I was wondering if there was a way I could add a 'parental lock' of some sort to my Safari to stop me accessing FB and seeing these comments and also stop me spedning too much time on there?
Thank you
Jo

Hi,

  • How to Block Facebook Website

    How to Block Facebook Website
    All URL I put in Access Restriction (Internet Access Policy) have been blocked, except for www.facebook.com.
    Is there a problem with my WRT160N?
    Please help.
    - Thanks

    This model must use exact url blocking in which case blocking Facebook can't reliably be done.
    If you had a dns server you could specify a bogus ip address for Facebook on your network.
    I had to move to the AE series routers because the parental control is the best and blocking Facebook was easy with only "facebook.com" as the url.
    Please remember to Kudo those that help you.

  • Problem in Firefox 4 while opening facebook website

    I opened facebook website and was searching for newly added friends in my friend's list search bar and i could not find the names of them , but they exists in the friend list. Moreover i tried the sam on Internet Explorer and it works. So request you to please take immediate action to deal with it.

    Symantec need to update their Firefox add-ons so that they are compatible with Firefox 4. They have released an update for Norton 360 to make it compatible with Firefox 4, for details see http://us.norton.com/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20100720113635EN&ln=en_US
    I do not know about other Norton products, but if you run Norton LiveUpdate it should inform you if there are updates available. If no updates are available, you can downgrade to Firefox 3.6 if you want to use the Norton add-ons.
    To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
    You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
    To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
    For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

  • Issue w/ Facebook website

    So I bought a 32gb iPad and the first couple of nights I bought it I used the Facebook website chat w/o a problem. The online friends list showed up, I could tap the chat boxes and talk back and forth, etc. Just like I would on a normal desktop browser.
    But ever since those first couple nights, it hasn't worked. The page loads but none of the chat boxes/indicators come up on the screen. I have no idea what's changed or why it doesn't load now, does anyone have any ideas?
    Oh and I really do not want to use the Facebook app (at least not the iPhone version for right now) because I like the idea of being able to go back and forth between the Faceboook web page and any other browser windows I may have open. Thanks...

    Facebook beta tests a lot of its apps without user's knowledge. So, they might have implemented an HTML based chat system for a few days or weeks, then reverted or changed to a Flash version. This happens a lot with Facebook, since I have flash blocked on Safari on my MBP, and I'll see things disappear at times.
    I have noticed that a lot of FB games have moved to HTML5 (or at least some non-flash system). My personal addiction of one FB game works perfectly on the iPad. A few weeks ago, it did not work on my iPhone, but now does.
    My suggestion is to download the Facebook App, though only in an iPhone version now, but it does have the chat feature fully enabled.

    Those sites have a random connection and DNS entries. Your best bet would be to use a DNS servcie like DDNS.com or OpenDNS.com service. Point your router to one of those DNS services and there DNS addresses, then set up one of those services to block FB and Twitter. If you use there DNS addresses on your router instead of the ISP DNS, and you block FB and Twitter, users should beable to get to FB or Twitter after that.

  • Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sda2

    hello,
    So I've a linux partition, and then I wanted to install a Windows copy. I've only 1 HDD with differents partition into it:
    sda5 (swap)
    sda6 /user
    sda7/var
    sda8 / (which contain the boot and root of course)
    sda3 /home
    sda2 NTFS (windows xp)
    So, as I had linux installed before windows, I had to make my sda2 NTFS (87) under my cfdisk. Then, I went to install windows, everything worked fine, windows booted with his boot system, but I had to restore grub with my archlinux live cd:
    grub> find /boot/grub/stage1
    grub>root (hd0,7)
    grub>setup (hd0)
    everything worked successfully, my grub loaded till while booting archlinux I got this error:
    couldn't find ext2 superblock, trying backup blocks...
    e2fsck: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sda2
    The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
    filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
    filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
    is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
    e2fsck -b 8193 <device>
    What I tried is to run the e2fsck -b 8193 /dev/sda2 but right after that, I thought about it, this isn't linux partition so of course, the superblock isn't the same as they are ntfs type from widnows?
    I've read on some forum but unfortunately didn't solve my problem, if anyone has any suggestion before I format the NTFS partition, I'd really appreciate it.
    best regards, maz

    what I think it happened, is that after installing windows your partitions numbers got twisted a bit. What you have to do is to edit /etc/fstab, and check out your linux and swap partitions mounting entries, I believe you just have to change the number of /dev/sda[number] coresponding to your linux partition in fstab
    If you can't solve it, post the output of
    fdisk -l
    and
    cat /etc/fstab

  • Changes in the material, the order should be blocked while saving the order

    Hi,
    A sales order is already there and delivery is not yet done. The requirement is, If I make any changes in the material, the order should be blocked while saving the order.
    Is there any indicators or some fields which tells material is changed in the order. How this can be realised.
    I thought of table CDPOS, but this can be used only after Order is saved.
    Please provide your inputs.

    Use user-exit MV45AFZZ, form-routine USEREXIT_SAVE_DOCUMENT_PREPARE.  Compare the values in XVBAP-MATNR(New Values) and YVBAP-MATNR(Old values).  If the values are different, update the value VBAK-LIFSK to block the order.

  • What steps do I take to edit raw files and save for web use, such as Instagram, Facebook, Websites, and emailing?

    What Steps do I take to edit raw files and save for web use, such as Instagram, Facebook, Websites, and emailing?

    When you open a raw file it will open in Adobe camera raw. That is where you can do most of the editing. Then it will be placed inside Photoshop where you can do more if needed.
    Now you can use the save for web dialog to export your image as a png or jpg to use on those sites.

  • Website Blocker wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this.

    Every time my MAC Pro starts up there is the pop-up window "Website Blocker wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this."
    I'm running Yosemite, but the problem also existed in Maverick. This happens even before any application is started.
    If I type my password the window closes but will appear again at the next start up.
    Did anybody see this problem before?

    I have exactly the same problem.  It keeps asking for the admin password whenever I delete a file.  Annoying!  And guess what , after typing in the PW and deleting the file, the trash can is still empty! The deleted files just disappeared!!
    So I checked my permissions, everything looked fine (i have perfect read and write rights), but i still used the Disk Utility to repair the permission, but it didn't solve the problem.
    I read some article online, saying that BatChmod can crack it. I downloaded the file and tried it, well, it worked 50%, I now see the deleted files sitting in the trash can, but I still have to type in PW to delete files.....
    This problem just came up today out of the blue, I'm not using any mobile disk or network disk by the way...
    So anyone have any idea how to fix this annoying thingy? 
    Thanks in advance!

    Can anybody help me out in this?
    regards,

    HI,
    try using BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGE
    pass ur vbeln in SALESDOCUMENT
    pass an 'X' to    BAPISDH1-DLV_BLOCK
    and 'X' to        BAPISDH1X-DLV_BLOCK
    Also add the UPDATE task clause, you will want to set the flag only when delivery is being saved, not before that.

  • How can I unblock a website blocked by Firefox?

    When I try to click on a link to www.bookbub.com/ in Google Reader and feedly, I get the following message:
    "Firefox prevented this site from opening 1 popup window", with an option box to either:
    option 1 - "Block popups from google.com" (or feedly.com) - I want the opposite of this!
    option 2 - "Edit popup blocker options"
    option 3 - "Show www.bookbub.com/deals"
    If I click on option 3 ("Show www.bookbub.com/deals"), this website is still being blocked.
    If I choose option 2 (allow popups from google and feedly), this website is still being blocked.
    So, in Firefox Options settings, the popup blocker box is now unticked - popups are unblocked - but this website is still being blocked.
    This is the only site which is blocked. All links to other websites open correctly from Google Reader and/or Google Search. To bypass this unwanted block and access the website, I have to type the url in the address bar.
    I would much prefer to simply open it as I do with all other websites from Google reader or feedly, with a simple click on a link.
    Suggestions welcome, thank you.
    Edited to add:
    Same problem when clicking on a link to this website from Google Search (website blocked by Firefox), yet no such problem when clicking the link within *this* post... ?!
    No problem whatsoever opening the website from any link in Chrome.

    After several checks, the website appears to be blocked by Adblock Plus and/or Adblock Plus Pop-up Addon.
    The message was clearly marked "*Firefox* prevented this popup" and I never even thought of looking elsewhere.
    I will trawl through the filters to find the blocking rule.
    Thanks a lot for the reply.
