How do i keep my cousin from downloading games?

how do i set up a block to keep my cousin from downloading games onto my mac? is there a way i can set it up so i need to enter my password?

You need to setup a separate user account for your cousin with a user login ID and password and, also, edit your own user account and add a new user password.
You can edit your own account to make your account a administrator account of the entire Mac and your cousin's a guest account.
This will prevent your cousin form downloading anything with your username and password.

  • I have the iCloud Photo Library (Beta) turned on. The photos from my iPhone do get uploaded to the iCloud. The photos are then downloaded to my wife's iPhone (we share the iCloud account). How do I keep the photos from downloading to my wife's iPhone

    I do not want all the photos from my iPhone downloading to my wife's iPhone from iCloud? We share an iCloud account. How can I prevent the download to my wife's iPhone from iCloud. .The "Upload to My Photo Stream" is turned off on my iPhone. . I am running 8.1.3. 
    I have a related question. In order to same space on my iPhone is there a way to upload the photos to the iCloud and then delete them from my iPhone.

    The way to keep the photos from downloading to your wife's phone would be for her to go to Settings > iCloud > Photos > and turn off iCloud Photo Library. If that isn't an option, the other option would be for her to have her own Apple ID ( and possibly explore the new family sharing options https://www.apple.com/ios/whats-new/family-sharing/ )
    Regarding the "related question" see the quotes below from iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ - Apple Support
    Deleting a photo or video from your Photos app will also remove the item from iCloud Photo Library and from your iCloud storage allocation. Photos and videos you remove can be recovered from the Recently Deleted album for 30 days. After 30 days, your content will be removed from the Recently Deleted album.
    If you want to reduce the space used by photos on your phone, rather than deleting them see the following:
    How does iCloud Photo Library save space on my device?
    If you turn on Optimize [device] Storage, iCloud Photo Library will automatically manage the size of your library on your iOS device, so you can make the most of your device's storage and access more photos than ever. iCloud Photo Library stores the original, high-resolution photos and videos in iCloud and can keep lightweight, device-optimized versions on each of your devices. As long as you have enough storage, recent photos and videos that you access the most will stay on your device at full resolution.
    You can turn on Optimize [device] Storage from Settings > iCloud > Photos or Settings > Photos & Camera > iCloud Photo Library on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. You need an Internet connection to access an original photo or video that’s stored only in iCloud.

    If you're talking about closing running apps, they changed it up a bit from iOS6. Now you just double click the home button to bring up the running apps, side scroll to the app you want to close, then just swipe up.

  • How do I keep the music from my old 1st gen mini and put it on my new ipod touch without loosing it. the computer I used to load the mini was stolen quite some time ago????

    How do I keep my music from my old 1st gen ipod mini when the computer that I originally loaded it with was stolen more than 5 years ago and transfer all the music onto my new ipod touch? My fear has always been that plugging my mini into another computer and attempting to download more music onto it or take what's on there off will end up erasing all of it because of file sharing regs. I would really prefer not to have to repurchase several hundred dollars of music as many of the original cd's that I used to download have been either lost or damaged over the years. Is there anything I can do????

  • How do I keep my screen from shutting off

    I have a droid RAZR M and I downloaded a knitting pattern on to my phone and I am using my phone instead of a paper pattern. The only problem is  that my screen shuts off so frequently, and then the text is so small that is unreadable. I have to stop knitting to readjust the text in the pattern to be easily read every time. How to I keep my phone from going into sleep mode so often?

        Hello goldeeneyes!
    I'd love to tell you how to adjust your screen settings. Keep in mind that a longer screen timeout may drain your battery significantly, so you may wish to change it back when you are not using your knitting application.
    Please go to Settings>Display and change the Sleep to a longer period of time. Happy creating!
    Thank you,

    If iTunes is trying to re-download the .ipsw file, that tells me it either was not completely downloaded or is corrupt. If the file were already downloaded & complete, iTunes would simply install it.

    how do i stop an item from downloading?
    the item has already downloaded but a 'ghost' download keeps trying but fails to download.
    annoying!

    Hello Hockeygurl12
    If you are having an issue with your purchase, you should be able to go to the iTunes Store app, tap on More and then Downloads. Then you should be able to swipe from right to left to delete it. Then you can try to download it again from the Music app. If you are still unable to download your track, the report the issue to the iTunes Store.

  • How can I keep my child from UNBLOCKING contacts or numbers I have blocked? I know in restrictions when you disable account changes at least on ios 6,this greyed out the iMessage button so the kids couldn't deactivate their text feature.

    Here's the issue.  Kids got themselves into some trouble on iPods.  We set all restrictions any turned off iMessage etc, which I noticed they can't turn back on bc it's gray with the don't allow account changes set.  BUT, it still allows Wi-Fi to be turned on and off!  How can I disable them being able to turn that on wo asking me??  In ios 7, the blocking feature, fabulous, BUT, how can I keep the kids from UNBLOCKING numbers I have blocked?  What I am looking to do actually is allow my kids to be able to text family but block everyone else.  And ask me to turn on wi fi.  How and can this even be done?  Right now my d text is turned off completely.  And she knows the inside and out of her device so she can turn wi fi on herself.  On vacation she entered the wi fi code of our condo and so I did forget network, which didn't work and wi fi kept connecting anyway wo requiring password again!  HELP!  Thanks :)  Also, they have iPods now but am asking these questions based on them getting our 4s's with ios 7.

    TeresaBoo, I empathize with your dilemma and have a similar problem. I'm trying desperately to keep my teenage daughter away from a controlling and abusive boyfriend. Of course, she is in denial and thinks it's love. Sure, I can block text messages through our wireless provider, but iMessages run on an independent network. I can block a phone number from iMessaging on her phone, but she can unblock it just as easily. I wish there was some way for parents to create a password to protect settings. Don't let negative comments get you down. Honestly, if someone can't relate to your question or offer help, why are they even bothering to comment??

  • How do you stop a book from downloading in iBooks.  It has been downloading for 2 days

    How do I stop a book from downloading in iBooks   It has been downloading for 2 days

    Perform a "hard reset" on the device by pressing down and holding the home button and the sleep/wake button for up to 30secs. until you see a black screen with the Apple logo, then release.
    Then test to see if it solved the problem.

    How do I keep my Imessages from being viewed on other devices under my apple ID?

    No, you can authorize any number of email addresses on your Apple Id and then select one of those to use as an alternate Send and Recieve for Messages. It isn't necessary to use seperate AppleIDs. I use my phone number on my iPhone and an email address on the iPad.

    As I can't upload CD's onto the Macbook Air, how do I keep the existing music on my iphone syn onto my new macbook without deleting all the cds on the iphone??
    Many thanks!

    Hi RaulRod,
    Are you pressing the Sync button to transfer music after connecting your iPhone or do you have the option checked to 'Automatically Sync when the iPhone is connected?'
    Have you tried manually dragging and dropping music from your library into your phone?

  • 2 Questions re getting rid of songs & keeping little hands from downloading

    Hi,
    1. Got my new iPhone last week but my niece nicely took it and loaded up some tunes from her itunes before i got to use it on my pc. Now when I plug it into my iTunes it wont open my iPhone details or let me delete what she put on for me- how do I do this?
    2. Also how do i stop little hands from downloading onto my iPhone when I'm not looking. They're very careful with the phone so I dont want to stop them playing with it but they have got carried away with downloading before. Ie can I username and password access to iTunes downloads?
    Many thanks
    Lara

    Also Re #2---Settings, General, Restrictions will let you block access to some things, including iTunes. I think you would have to turn on the Restrictions each time you pass the phone to the children, though.
    Also, I am not totally sure, but I think iTunes remembers your password for a little while---eg, if you download a song and then immediately give the phone to the child, it may not ask again until you are inactive for a while or quit.
