How can I customize time limits in parental control?

Hello,
I am trying to customize the time limits for a managed account via the parental control GUI.
However I would like a much finer customization.
For example: prevent access Monday 8-5pm, Tuesday 1-pm, 5-8pm, etc.
While the "standard" time limis are set to a generic week-day/school day (which assume that a school week is the same all over the world!)
Is there anyway to do that?
Can anyone tell me WHERE are these limits stored in the system?
Could I simply edit a system file (not afraid to do so even if it is complicated!)?
Thank you.

You can let Apple know you'd like this ability at http://apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.

  • Monitoring and managing time limits in parental controls

    Howdy!
    I've a few problems with the time limits in Parental Controls: a) I cannot tell how much time is left on an account, and b) I cannot add additional time to an account at will -- I have to wait for a warning dialog to come up when there's just a few minutes left.
    Is there something built into OSX (GUI or CLI) that would allow me to view time remaining? Is there a way to add/modify the time remaining on an account?
    Thanks!

    I too find this annoying with parental controls. There should be a prominent countdown timer in the menu bar, in my opinion, that lets your kids know how much time is remaining on their login session. But to my knowledge there is no way to do this.
    However, I have an additional problem: If my child's account logs out when all of his time is used, and then I try to add a few minutes to his time limit, I am unable to. At the login screen, there will be a red circle with a bar through it next to his account, and the phrase "can log in at 12:00 am". I click on his login icon, and at the login prompt I am asked if I want to add additional time. I choose the amount of time from the drop down menu, enter my admin user and password, and click enter. The desktop background rotates to briefly reveal my son's user account desktop, and then rotates back within a few seconds and logs him out. No amount of time can be added to the account. Rebooting does not fix the problem.
    Anyone have a similar issue?

  • How can I turn off notifications for parental control time limits?

    Tears of frustration from my two boys every night as their parentally controlled hour of Minecraft is spoiled by the countdown warnings which HAVE to be clicked -  amounting to fatal hesitation in their game in progress.
    Can these time notifications be made passive - or turned off completely?
    Ideas for a workaround?

    i dont know about whatsapp or other 3rd party apps 0 they may have setting options to do what you want - but for text messages and Facebook posts you can go to Settings/Sounds and set the sound for those 2 things to None

  • How can I view the logs in Parental Controls?

    I'm trying to monitor my children's internet use and iMessages on our laptop and the logs show there is activity. However, I cannot see anything when I click on the actual log entries. Is there something I'm missing? I'm having this issue with both internet and iMessage. Whenever I click on the iMessage log entry, a window pops up from iMessage as if I'm going to start a new conversation. Very strange.

    If your children are comp savy, it's possible that they have erased the logs.  You should set up parental control.  This way you can control all internet & comp usage.  Your children will not be able to erase or get into anything to erase if you do not make that option available. 

  • How do I set time limits for my iphone?

    You know how there are parental controls on the macs in the settings. In there you can set up time limits of how long you can use the computer for but I can't find it on the iphone where you can set time limits for use. I looked at the restrictions sections but I don't see anything on setting time limit. How could I set time limits for use on my phone? I go on my phone too much and I really have to set restrictions to limit my time on it.

    There are apps you can download i believe to do this.

  • How can I customize the msi file to include a licence agreement

    How can I customize the msi file to include a licence agreement and some splash screens. If i need a third party application could somebody recommend one. I have installshield development studio 9 and it crashes every time I try to add a license.

    We don't use the installation maker built into the application builder, instead we use a third party tool that is free and gives additional options; like including a license and to split the installation set to fit on floppies. It's called Inno Setup and can be found on: http://www.jrsoftware.org/. It is script-based but also has a nice wizard.
    Inno Setup does not give you much room for splash screens though. There are a number of shareware alternatives (not all free as Inno as far as I've seen) that does, if you do a search for installer makers on download.com you'll get a list of them.

  • How can I force Time Machine to make a complete backup of my Hard Drive.  I just installed a new external drive for Backup since my previous one failed.  Now when I back up, Time Machine only backs up my data folder and the Users folder.

    How can I force Time Machine to make a complete backup of my Hard Drive.  I just installed a new external drive for Backup since my previous one failed.  Now when I back up, Time Machine only backs up my data folder and the Users folder.
    When I start a backup. Time Machine says "Oldest Backup: None; Latest Backup: None", so it seems like it should do a complete backup, but it only does a partial. 

    Hi I'd like to jump in here. Your app showed me this:
    Time Machine:
              Skip System Files: NO
              Mobile backups: OFF
              Auto backup: YES
              Volumes being backed up:
                        Macintosh HD: Disk size: 749.3 GB Disk used: 453.81 GB
              Destinations:
                        Plastic Wrapper [Local] (Last used)
                        Total size: 999.86 GB
                        Total number of backups: 64
                        Oldest backup: 2013-07-24 23:25:11 +0000
                        Last backup: 2013-11-17 01:40:47 +0000
                        Size of backup disk: Too small
                                  Backup size 999.86 GB < (Disk used 453.81 GB X 3)
              Time Machine details may not be accurate.
              All volumes being backed up may not be listed.
              /sbin excluded from backup!
              /usr excluded from backup!
              /System excluded from backup!
              /bin excluded from backup!
              /private excluded from backup!
              /Library excluded from backup!
              /Applications excluded from backup!
    Aside from the size of my backup drive, which I will increase at some point, I'd really like to have time machine backing up all system folders, especially Applications. How to I reset this hidden exclusions?
    Thanks,
    Darcy

  • I am trying to update my time machine backup on time capsule, but time machine keeps trying to create an entirely new backup (evidenced by the 200GB backup size). How can I get time machine to modify my old backup rather than create a new one?

    It must have found the old backup corrupt.. so you will more than likely have little choice. You can archive off the old backup if it is still useful.
    You can also verify it. See A5 http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
    He also has some info on this problem. eg C13.

  • How can I get Time Machine to back up an external hard drive (iPhotos) that is attached to airport extreme base station. Note: Time machine is usb to macbook pro and external drive with iphotos is usb to airport extreme base station. Help please. Thanks!

    How can I get Time Machine to back up an external hard drive (iPhotos) that is attached to airport extreme base station. Note: Time machine is usb to macbook pro and external drive with iphotos is usb to airport extreme base station. Help please. Thanks!

    Once you have the drive connected to your Mac, click System Preferences (gear icon) on the dock
    Click Time Machine
    Click Options
    Be default, the hard drive will be Excluded from backups. Click the drive to highlight it, then click the "-" (minus) button at the bottom of the list to remove the drive from Excluded items.
    The drive will be backed up on the next Time Machine pass
    Everything above assumes that the hard drive has been formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as Time Machine will only backup drives in that format.

  • How can I customize my terminal?[SOLVED]

    I'm using xterm and /bin/zsh, but it looks ugly. It's a white background with a black text. On debian, I use to right click and hit preferences and went from there. But when I right click it just highlights the shell. How can I customize background color, change font, etc?

  • How can i use time machine with a network drive

    I have a Western Digital Net N900 wireless router with a 2TB internal H/D. How can I get Time Machine to reconize it?

    Relying only on TM to me is iffy but I would bet you have clones in addition to TM like I do.  I agree with everything you said but to the OP question, it is possible.  A time capsule or AEBS+HD are pretty similar but one is officially supported while the later is not.
    Since I'm rambling a bit I will add this.  I only use TM for the times I delete something and then wish I had it back.  All my restores or migrations are done from my clones.  One clone is made weekly and is a snap shot of my system.  One clone I keep remotely located and is updated monthly.
    My system:
    Internal 1TB
    Ext HD1 2TB (1TB data, 1TB clone)
    Ext HD2 2TB time machine backup (internal + HD1 data, not the clone)
    Remote 1TB clone
    I'm fully redudant with my method and it has saved me before.

  • How can you build time series measures in OBIEE without using TODATE AGO fu

    How can you build time series measures in OBIEE without using TODATE and AGO function?
    Please provide steps to build time series
    measures in OBIEE without using TODATE and
    AGO function. Dashboard results not storing
    in cache when using TODATE and AGO functions.
    eventhough its cached users queries not

    send your inputs/ideas for my questions..
    Thanks in Advance

    This can be using Msum function in answers. Use the following formula, here dollars is my metric. Change the formula based on your metric.
    Msum("Sales Measures".Dollars ,2) - "Sales Measures".Dollars
    the report will be cached and better performed compared with time series. check ti

    Have a look at this

    However if you are using framework like Parsley messing with the app startup
    will end up in messing you framework initialization since the framework is
    depending on those events.
