How do I restrict use of mac mini to one website only?

Hi Geniuses!
I want to set up a Mac Mini in my office that can only be used to browse 1 website and nothing else. I don't want any user other than Admin to have the ability to change any settings, download any apps, install any software or browse the net other than to the specified website we have restricted Safari or Firefox or what to.
The website is an online testing site for my staff training program, so the user logs onto the website with his/her username and password and then can write tests online.
I hope there are some very simple ways to achieve the above. I will be using a Mac Mini which has been set up as a server somehow and running OSX10.6.8.
The startup disk says Server HD so not sure if I should change this machine to not be a server? Or is there a way to log into the second partition which is labelled Macintosh HD2?
I hope to hear back from some of you soon.
Thanks very much all.

Thanks for that advice andyBall_uk I did look in the Library under System and found the ParentalControls.prefPane and when trying to open with System Preferences I got an error message stating:
"You can't open the "Parental Controls" preferences pane because it is not available to you at this time.
To see this preferences pane, you may need to connect a device to your computer."
Any ideas as to what I may have to connect to my computer? I did not download Workgroup Manager as yet.
Hope to hear from someone soon. Thanks, Jason

  • How do I use a Mac Mini + Airport Express + Time Machine disk to backup another iMac

    How do I use a Mac Mini + Airport Express + Time Machine disk to backup another iMac?
    The question pretty much says it all.
    I have a Mac Mini with an attached 3TB Hard Drive used for Time Machine Backups.
    I have an Airport Extreme base station which services that machine plus several others.
    I would like to backup my new iMac and a MacBook Pro to the Mac Mini.
    What do I need to do on the mini to export that hard drive so that it can be used as a Time Machine target from the other systems?
    All systems are running 10.6.8.

    Well you would have to do backups over a network which is much slower and has highest chance of becoming corrupt. I think your best option would be to get an apple time capsule to act as a network and back if thats how you wanna do that

  • HT204388 how do I switch between my mac mini and iMac using iMac screen?

    how do I switch between my mac mini and i mac using i mac screen?  I thought it was using F2 but that does not seem to work.

    To switch between your Mac mini and iMac, you just have to turn on or off Target Display mode. To do it, press Command and F2 keys in your iMac, not only F2

  • Using a Mac Mini for DSP

    Hello!
    I am wondering how many users are there out there using a Mac Mini for DSP to allow for more processing power.
    wondering what types of experiences people have had out there/how well the machines work together. and if you would or would not recommend doing so
    i would assume that it would help out with all of the processing and makes things sound better in the end?

    I don't do it on a regular basis, but I tested out using an intel mini as a node on a G5, and it worked fine. Probably added about an additional 25% of what the quad could do (so if the quad did 100 of a plugin, the mini added 25 more).

  • How can I control my my mac mini with my macbook air (no wifi)?

    How can I control my my mac mini with my macbook air (no wifi)? Also...what is the best method (less lag) for screen sharing? 
    I own a mac mini Quad Server 2.0 i7 and I use it for audio production.  It's great but I need to travel with it. I was hoping some form of screen sharing could be useful using the macbook air to control the mac mini.  Therefore, I'd be using the stronger processor of the mac mini but would still be using the keyboard and trackpad from the air. 
    My two problems: 
    1.  I can't depend on wifi to make this happen. Wifi is not always available when travleing.  What would be the best way to configure a LAN connection?
    2.  The less lag the better for screen sharing.  Which apps are fastest?
    Thanks in advance.

    Both of your devices have WiFi built in. Here is Apple Support's solution:

  • I was able to copy all my files from my Time Capsule, but that is all they are...files. How do I get my new Mac Mini to emulate my other Mac?

    I was able to copy all my files from my Time Capsule, but that is all they are...files. How do I get my new Mac Mini to emulate my other Mac?

    Doggiemommie,
    Copying files is not a good idea.
    The "other Mac" was backed up onto Time Capsule using the Time Machine. On your new Mac you should restore the old user - rather than copy files manually.
    This usually happens during the initial setup of the new computer or you can do it later using Migration Assistant.
    Please note, it is possible to damage backup file on the Time Capsule when you browse it and copy files manually.
    Hope this explains.

  • Using the mac mini with a dial up internet connection

    How do I go about using my mac mini with a dial up internet connection? I am soon to be moving to a rural area and dial up will be my only internet option. Please be very specific in your answer as I am not a very tech savvy fellow. Thank you for your help.

    The last time I needed to use dial up I used this amazing device from actiontec:

    Very hard to find one now, but it has the advantage that it connects to the ethernet ports of up to two computers, rather than using a less reliable usb connection.

    The simplest method would be to drag & drop the files you want to move to the external drive using the Finder. Just open both the source and destination locations in separate Finder windows.

    Make sure that Firefox gets installed properly.
    Open the DMG file and drag to Firefox program to the application folder on your hard drive.
    You shouldn't double-click the Firefox application to run it from the disk image, but drag it out of the DMG folder instead.

  • Can I use my mac mini as a network drive on my wireless network?

    I would like to redeploy my Mac Mini to be a network server drive off of my Airport Extreme router? Is this possible? Is it difficult? How do I do it? Thanks!

    Yes, you can use your Mac mini as a network file server. The mini can be connected to the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) by either Ethernet or wireless to share files to other network clients.
    Please see the following Apple Support article for details on how to configure your Mac for file sharing.
