HT201304 iOS parental controls do not prevent the child from changing the device passcode.

So the parent cannot get into the device at all unless the child provides the passcode. Sure, the device can be taken away until the child provides the passcode, but why don't parental controls just prevent the passcode from being changed?  Either that, or the parental control passcode should allow the parent to get into the device, over-riding the passcode lock.

We are not Apple iOS programmers.  Just device users like yourself.
feedback.apple.com is where you should send suggestions.

  • The time limits on the parental controls do not work. Apple does not seem to know how to fix this issue since the problem has been going on since at least leopard.

    The time limits in the parental controls do not work. I have several mac systems and they do not work on all of them. Also, I have had this problem since at least snow leopard and it is very frustrating that Apple is unable to fix a simple issue like this. All they have to do is somehow 'hard-wire' the time limits to the system clock but they are not listening. I used the feed-back feature in their support webpage and hopefully everybody else experiencing this issue will too. Thus, if they get a thousand notes on this issue they might listen and finally fix it.

    Well, the whole system with those time limits are funky. Sometime this happens, sometime that happens. When the user is on the bed time limits do not work nor do the length of time limits. It is very frustrating as one of the reasons I bought an apple in the first place was those parental controls which did not exist in Windows prior to Windows 7. I do have a Windows 7 machine now and the bed time limits work there. Maybe you have a Windows 7 machine as well and can let them use it.

  • Who else has a problem with parental controls enabled not being able to run Firefox on the Mac?

    Who else has a problem with parental controls enabled not being able to run Firefox on the Mac? (Any solutions?) (BTW. Chrome doesn't work either)

    Although FF4 is so nice I'm almost ready to ditch iGoogle!
    Please fix what appears to be an RSS/iGoogle issue with FF4...
    Gmail is fine, but titles dont show in most RSS feed gadgets and no stories, strangely, apart from this one:
    http://www.google.com.au/ig/directory?hl=en&url=www.google.com/ig/modules/builtin_news_technology.xml
    Which if you enter the last part of the url reports that
    "<Content type="html">
    This is a builtin module, so the UserPrefs and Content are ignored."
    Any ideas?

  • My iTunes parent control keeps giving me the same error message. "Parent control preferences could not be unlocked. You may need to reinstall iTunes. "I have uninstalled ant reinstalled iTunes that 4 time now and I still can't get on. Can anyone help?

    My iTunes parent control keeps giving me the same error message. “Parent control preferences could not be unlocked. You may need to reinstall iTunes. “I have uninstalled ant reinstalled iTunes that 4 time now and I still can’t get on. Can anyone help?

    Experimental advice ... but, plausibly, the preference files containing the parental control setting may be damaged. If so, removing the iTunes preference files may help.
    For the basic technique, see the "Remove iTunes preference files" section from the "User-specific troubleshooting" section of the following document:
    iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues
    To see those folders, you'll need to first set your PC to view hidden files and folders
    In your Start menu, open Computer.
    In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
    In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
    Click OK.
    Prior to doing the preference file rebuilds: Best to make a note of any custom preferences you have set up for your iTunes. (Rebuilding pref files returns preferences to their defaults ... so you'll likely have to set some of those custom preferences up again from scratch.) Also make a note of any third-party plugins/add-ons you have installed. You may have to reinstall those after the rebuilds.
    Things to watch out for during the rebuilds
    Rebuilding the preference files in the \Local\ location causes the iTunes license agreement to run. So you'll need to agree to that again.
    Rebuilding the preference files in the \Roaming\ location causes the iTunes Setup Assistant to run. When prompted to do so, do not add files to your iTunes library. (Otherwise you'll end up with a library full of duplicates.)

  • Parental Controls are not working correctly.  Websites I've listed under Allow Access are still blocked.  How can I fix this?

    Just thought I'd let you know.  Our suspicions were correct, it was the OS. After I installed Snow Leopard (10.6.8) all the problems were corrected.  I also updated the RAM from 1 gb to 6 gb. The mac is working all around better. Sorry it took so long to get back to everyone. My superdrive had pooped out. Rather than replace it I got an external drive from OWC connected with firewire 800.  So far everything is running very well, as far as I can tell this external drive is better than the original superdrive. My superdrive has always acted funny, infact I returned the first mac I got after a week because its superdrive was also malfunctioning. Anyway, all that to say everything seems to be fully functioning again.

  • Parental controls do not stay locked

    I am having a problem with the parental controls. I block the store, podcasts, and control the content ratings. Once this is done, I click on the lock to "lock" the changes. No sooner do I quit iTunes and go back in and the parental lock is back "unlocked". I am trying to block my teenager from spending money w/o my permission and from the content ratings I am trying to keep him from. I am the administrator and he is not. He should not be allowed to change these locks, but he can.
    This is happening on all three macs we have regardless of platform (a G3, G4, and Intel) with os 10.4.9. (we are all running 7.1.1 of itunes) Is there a way to permanently LOCK these parental controls?
    G3, G4, Intel (mac mini)   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   iTunes 7.1.1

    That's a bug in the current version of iTunes that Apple has acknowledged. There's no indication as to when the bug will be fixed, though. You (and anyone else for whom this is a problem) might want to submit a comment to Apple through the iTunes feedback page so that they know it needs to be a priority.

    Force close the App Store app and reset the iPad. No data will be lost when you reset the device.
    In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Next, reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

    After hiding them on your Mac's iTunes try logging out of your account on your phone and then log back into it.

    Sounds like then maybe a "friend" got hold of your phone and set a SIM card password.  Not much you can do if that is the case if you do not know the password except go to your carrier and request a new SIM card.

  • HT204074 I have just changed my iPad mini password a day ago when trying to log on today it worked fine until about 4:30 (GMT) when I could not access the device using the correct password. I am absoloutley 100% sure it's correct. Any help?

    I have just changed my iPad mini password a day ago, and when trying to access it today it worked fine until about 4:30 (GMT) when I could not access the device using the correct password. I am absoloutley 100% sure it's correct.Additional details:I was last using Kik messenger before it stopped working.I was sitting less than two foot away from the PS3 my brother was playing.I'm 14 but I'm not some spoilt kid who gets iPhones and iPads from his parents to mess around with, I have got important coursework and homeworks on there.Any help would be great Thanks.

    Hello ConfusedLlama
    If the password is not working to get into your iPad mini, you would need to follow the steps to restore it. If you have a back up through iCloud or through iTunes, you can restore from that back up and it would not bring back the passcode unless it is encrypted.

  • IOS Packaging Error: Could not retrieve certificate chain from keystore

    Hi all,
    I'm currently evaluating Flash Builder 4.5, with an eye toward prototyping on iOS (since lots of folks here know Flash and ActionScript, but only a couple of us use XCode and Objective-C).  I'm currently looking at the Hello World tutorial...
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash-builder/articles/hello-world.html
    I've built and tested on desktop, and am now trying to package the app to test on iOS.  However, when I run the device configuration I get a dialog with the following...
    'Launching FlashTest' has encountered a problem.
    Error occurred while packaging the application:
    could not retrieve certificate chain from keystore
    It then shows me the usage text for adt.  I have no idea what the problem is.
    I've imported the same certificate I use to deploy through XCode, and have created an AppID and provisioning profile specific for my test app.
    Thoughts?
    p.s. - How do I change my forum name?

    i understood why
    I had the same problem
    i solved in this way
    before exporting the *.p12 file i chained the certificate to the key by selecting it in the key panel and importing from the file menu the certificate
    in this way key and certificate are associated
    at this poin i created the p12 file and it worked fine!!!!
