HT201304 Can I enforce a time limit on user restrictions to prevent excess use?

Can I enforce a time limit on user restrictions to prevent excess use?

I havent tried this but you might be able to sync the preference for parental controls between the two computers via sync software such as Chronosync, dropbox or maybe even iCloud. I dont know of any quick way to do that and this method is getting into a more advanced configuration. Its interesting to see in mountain lion that you can copy and paste the settings by clicking on the gear icon in System Preferences:Parental Controls. What system are you using on each machine?

  • How can I enforce a time limit across 2 iMacs?

    I have 2 iMacs in my house, 1 is my lil sister's iMac and one is mine, hers has gotten old and slow. On it she has parental controls allowing her to be on for certain times of the day for a certain amount of time. I'd like to make her account on my computer that she can use also, but I want to enforce the same parental controls as on the other iMac. My problem comes in with, how do I get the time limit to sync between the iMacs? So that she can't in theory use one imac till her 2 hours is up then come use mine for a bonus 2 hours; instead she should be restricted to 2 hours no matter wich iMac she divides up the time on.

  • As an administrator can I set a time limit and control having inappropriate sites displayed on my "administrator" usage?

    as an administrator can I set a time limit and control having inappropriate sites displayed on my "administrator" usage?

    Parental Controls can be used to set time limits, to allow the computer to be used only within specific hours of the day, and to block certain Web sites (or to allow only certain Web sites). However, they can be applied to a Standard account only, not to an admin account.

  • Can I place a time limit on my daughter's iPod?

    can I place a time limit on my daughter's iPod?

    Sure. Set an alarm on your phone, or a kitchen time, whatever, and when it goes off tell her to put the iPad down.

  • Can I connect my Time Capsule wired to the computer and just use it as a back up

    Can I connect my Time Capsule to my computer (wired) and just use it as a back up and not as a wireless router?

    Yes, you simply bridge the TC..
    Just google for it as we have posted the instructions endlessly.
    The one trick that might be necessary is to ensure the TC is on a different IP range to the main broadband connection.
    And make sure the gateway and dns do not cause issues.. so it is generally better to set static ip on the TC and the computer.
    None of it is hard so ask for specific instructions if you get to the point.

  • Can I set a time limit for usage on a 5th gen ipod touch

    My daughter just got a 5th gen Ipod touch. Of course she is using it at times she shouldn't be. Is there a way to set a time limit for usage so she can be responsible for monitoring herself without us nagging all the time?

  • Can i raise the time limit in print server?

    Hello,
    we have here a SL-Server that currently handle our macs.
    Now we have the problem, that we receive print jobs from our IT in Australia and that the printers that will receive the jobs cancel this because they receive the information not fast enouth.
    We have a print solution with Fiery here and this RIP can handle this, because we have there a high time frame to receive the jobs. But Fiery can not handle all of our printers.
    Now I will activate the print service in my SL and i need the information if i can raise the timeframe there.
    Or have SL-print service ano time limit?
    Many thanks

  • Can I set a time limit for connection to a certain WLAN?

    I would like to set a time limit for how long a client can be continously connected to the WLAN that provides my guest internet access. The user name/password is hosted on my ACS and authentication is provided by my Cisco NAC. I am using 5508 controllers (7.02) and WCS.
    Somewhere in this combination of stuff, there has to be a way to set a two hour time limit.

    If you are looking for your guest to get kicked off which requires them to log back in .. One option would be to set the WLAN session timeout to 2 hours.

  • How can I set a time limit... on my own account?

    I've been getting sick of staying up until 3 AM then waking up at 11 AM every day. I think the best way to solve it without sheer will is to just set a time limit on my computer. I know you can do it in Parental Controls, but it only lets you to it to non-admin accounts that aren't yours. Is there a way to set them for your own account via some sort of workaround? Thanks.

    Hello Chuck67322,
    Thanks for contacting Apple Support Communities.
    You could schedule you computer to shut down through the Energy Saver preference. See this article to find out how:

  • Can I set a time limit on a voice memo?

    My church has been using an iPod Touch to record services which I then turn into podcasts for people who missed the service. This has worked perfectly when I am at the service. However, on the days when someone who is a bit less tech-savvy than I is the person recording the service, there is a problem.  Inevitably that person forgets to STOP the recording at the end of the service. In these situations, it seems that eventually -- after a day or two -- when I go back to the church to pick up the the iPod, the battery is dead and NOTHING has been recorded. Or rather, the recording has not been saved. Usually the recording is listed (with the correct Start Time) but the recording length is 0secs. and pressing Play does nothing.  :-(
    My theory: the person who did the recording never stopped the voice memo app, it recorded for many many hours until eventually the iPod's battery died.  I'm wondering if there's any way to either (a) preset the voice memo to record for, say 2 hours (plenty of time for a service which is usually 1 hour) or tell the voice memo to turn itself off after a certain amount of time with no activity (once the service is over and every clears out, the room goes silent)
    Any ideas?  Are there any other voice recording apps which may have these functionalities?
    Thanks for any help.
    Peter

    The native Voice Memos app does not have that capability. I looked at some other recording apps and could not find one that allows a time limit.

  • Can you track the time of logged users in Lookout?

    I would like to know if Lookout is capable of logging operators, maintenance, tool room, and
    set up personnel on and off a machine with the intent of exporting the
    information to track time?

    The built-in "Show All History" command will show the latest load of each URL. If there were repeated loads during a period of time, that data is recorded in the history database (places.sqlite, in the currently active profile folder), but the repetitions are not shown in the dialog. You would need an add-on to see the additional detail.
    As far as I know, there isn't a way to measure the duration of actually viewing a page. I've seen a Windows program that records the currently active Window, so you could see when someone switched to another program, but if someone leaves their desk or answers the phone, there's no way for Firefox or any other software to know they are not using the browser.
    Regarding restricting the sites that can be viewed, I think the most reliable approach is a proxy server, but administering it could be a headache. You also could look at client software like K9 Web Protection (free for home use, but not for businesses): http://www1.k9webprotection.com/#organization

  • Can you set a project wide time limit?

    I know that you can set a time limit for each question, can you set a time limit for the entire project?

    That variable has really no sense. First of all, you have to create it and it will just be toggled when time is over. I think it is just taken over from the former Timer widget (Timer widget... to stress your learners - Captivate blog) where it had sense, because it didn't have the same functionality of jumping to a slide when time was over. Beware: the timing is not very accurate, it will start with a delay of about 1 second if you put it on the first slide (display for rest of project), and when time is over the message (you cannot escape from it) will display for 2 seconds. Had planned to blog about Timing/Hourglass interactions, but have too many plans that I didn't realize.

  • HT201304 Time Limit for Children

    How can I set any time limit on my children's iPads?
    To control when and how long time they may use their iPad.
    Can it really be true that it's not possible on iOS?!!! :(

    Thank you. Yes parents are driver and responsible here.
    I found a tool, an application, which could be helpful: parent kit.
    It has some bugs, and take too much control of settings and rights, but a good start point and reference.
    One of the biggest problem with this app is that when one disable applications in a certain time, it also disable iBook. Another one is that by changing the time setting, kids can bypass all the restrictions.
    I'm sure Apple could make it easily possible to choose:
    1- a certain number of hours
    2- a certain period of time
    3- applications to be restricted in the selected time
    Then kids could sleep without temptation of games at night, and parents without worries of psychopaths on chat forums.
    Taking iPads from children is not the best solution. And we are not always around to see what they are doing.
