How do you block your teen from the internet while still allowing them to use the computer for homework?

My daughter has a mac air that she needs for homework and school documents.  She is however so distracted by her access to all that the internet has to offer that she is forever "doing homework"! How can I block some of her access while still allowing her to actually do homework and use Safari for research?
Thanks for your help

    You don't.  Apps from iTunes are for iOS devices.  Apps for the Mac come from the Mac app store.  Click the apple >> app store.

  • HT1386 How do you sync your itunes from the Iphone to the macbook pro?

    How do you sync your itunes from the iphone to the macbook pro? 
    Let's say, I have an Iphone 3GS and it was synced to my older pc (I know...) and it crashed and I can't retrieve my files on there.  I want everything that I have on my 3Gs: photos, videos, music, notes, voice recordings, etc...  Now, I recently upgraded to 4Gs.  I can sync almost everything via icloud but there are files like photos, videos, other music that I cannot sync or for some weird reason it won't work over the cloud.  So I want to move all of those information to my macbook pro (upgraded from pc... yes!).  How do I move everything in my iphone backed up to my itunes in my mac book so that I can sync it to my new 4Gs? 

    I have a 3GS IPhone and have not been able to find Cloud on it anywhere (I was instructed to go to Settings, General, etc). I have also been told I should download update from I Tunes and have not been successful doing that either. I know my I Pad has the Cloud and I am wanting to sync the calendar from the phone to the pad. Any suggestions?

  • How do you transfer Apple IDs from one ipad to another iPad?  I got the new ipad and gave my ipad 2 to my wife who had the first version and now I can't get my Apple ID off so she can use her Apple ID.

    how do you transfer Apple IDs from one ipad to another iPad?  I got the new ipad and gave my ipad 2 to my wife who had the first version and now I can't get my Apple ID off so she can use her Apple ID.

    You don't transfer Apple ID's from one device to another one. You sign out in the settings, )the App Store and iTunes if necessary) and then sign in with the other ID.
    Settings>iTunes & App Stores>Apple ID>Sign out. Them sign in with the other ID. You can sign out of the app store and iTunes as well by going to the featured Atab in the App Store and the music tab in iTunes, swipe to the bottom and access the Apple ID in there.
    You should have erased the iOad before you gave it to her in Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings. That way she could set up the iPad as new with her own Apple ID.
    Be aware of the fact that if you use each others ID's in order to download past purchased content to your own iPads, you will lock yourself out of your own ID as you will have associated your iPad with the other person's Apple ID.
    In other words, if you sign into your wife's ID on your iPad so that you can download an app or an album so that you don't have to pay for it again, you will lock yourself out of your Apple ID for 90 days.

  • How do you sync your apps from your iphone to a new PC?

    How do you sync your apps from your iphone to a new PC?
    When syncing you receive a warning that you are about to remove all content from your iphone (device)!!! I don't/can't have this happen!! I have the music and calenders etc on iCloud but the Apps don't get stored there (as far as I'm aware).
    Should I de-register the old PC first? Will that then signal iTunes that this is OK to syc the apps with the new??
    Thanks.

    File>Transfer Purchases
    You really need to copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.
    The iphone is not a backup/storage device

    Ahhh, I see that you did not allow them to connect (is this true)

  • I use Plaxo for my contacts, and I want it to synch my Outlook contacts with my PC.  So I can't use my iCloud contact synch.  My question: How do I disable my iCloud contact synch feature while still allowing the rest of iCloud (music

    I use Plaxo for my contacts, and I want it to synch my Outlook contacts with my PC.  I got a new HP PC with the (awful) Windows 8.0 operating system, and, to say the least, I miss the good old days.   Plaxo customer support tells me that I can't use my iCloud contact synch because they clash. 
    My question: How do I disable my iCloud contact synch feature while still allowing the rest of iCloud (music, photos) to operate as usual.
    What mysterious steps must I take in order to do this and not cause a complete meltdown in the process?  The meltdown that I fear most is the one that happens between my ears.

    Music is nothing to do with iCloud but Photostream is, so turn off Mail, Contacts and Calendars (in the iCloud Control Panel) and leave everything else on.
    You will lose iCloud Calendars and Mail as well as Contacts, but you can manually re-enable mail (if you use iCloud email)

    If you are the only user on your computer you probably don't have multiple user accounts set up and can disregard that.  If you are using iTunes 11 go to View>Show Sidebar.  Now see if your iPad appears under Devices on the left side when you connect it.  If it does, click on the name of your iPad on the left side and your iTunes sync settings options will appear in folders with tabbed headings to the right.
    If it doesn't appear on the left side, follow the troubleshooting steps shown in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538.

  • I am new to the iPhone 3G S. How do you transfer your information from your old smartphone to your iPhone? Like pictures, ringtones, and contacts?

    How do you transfer your information, like photos, ringtones, and contact information from my Blackberry Torch to my new iPhone 3G S? I am new to the iPhone and don't remember the website I was told at the store in order to do these task. I already registered my phone and set up an AppleID.

    Ringtones from another phone will not work on iphone.
    You will have to create iphone ringtones.  Google will find several ways to do this.
    Contacts, calendars,photos, etc should be on your computer.  From there you can sync them to iphone.
