I want to turn off the administrator password which is required when my kids sign onto the internet. They have their own passwords and pages.

I cannot figure out where the administrator password is so I can disable it. I do have parental controls on.

Hey Csound1,
Looks like we found a solution, it's Mickey Mouse but it works.  After talking to two Apple Senior Advisors, this is the fix they came up with:
The first advisor after exploring it for awhile, came to the conclusion the way to get my calendars back local On my Mac with the alerts as I had then was to import the saved .ics files with my my 'dangerous email alerts' being removed then me manually re-adding them.   I said that was a no go.
The second advisor, after speaking with me for awhile and trying a few things that we'd tried before said he'd do some work on his end and call me back.  A couple of hours later he phoned back with a fix that I guess will have to do, his solution:
I had to go into Calendar-preferencs-accounts and create a Gmail calendar, quit and restart Calendar, I created a calendar in the gMail account.  Then I was given the option  in Calendar under File-New Calendar to create On my Mac local calendars.  Next was to create local calendars with the same names as my iCloud calendars.  Now I had to un-check all calendars but one, put Calendar in month view, command-click all the events for the given calendar and drag them to the new local calendar of the same name.  I then had to repeat this for each of the calendars and for all 12 months of the year. 
I'm not done yet but it seems to be working.  As I said Mickey Mouse but doing the job.  It seems creating another online calendar account was the only way to get the local On my Mac option, active again.  What a pain in the a** this has been, I will repeat it again
iCloud is EVIL.

    A gift card can only be redeemed onto one account, it can't be split between accounts and it can't be used to gift amounts and/or items to other accounts (gifting can only be done via a credit card).

  • My young kids have ipads and since I updated the software, but they have their own icloud account, predictive text within their messages shows all my contacts from my iphone but the contacts are not listed as their contacts, how do I stop this?

    My young kids have ipads and since I updated the software, but they have their own icloud account, predictive text within their messages shows all my contacts from my iphone but the contacts are not listed as their contacts, how do I stop this?

    I have deleted the iCloud account under my name on their iPads and replaced with their ones. Apple support said yesterday I needed to click the small 'I' by each name as it came up in the TO box and remove it. After doing rid for each contact under each letter of the alphabet it should remove them from latest contacts. Having done this, although I could not remove groups I had sent, I am not convinced they will not return once I have written a few texts, any ideas?

  • I am running 4 ipod classica through one computer and one itunes account/profile.  The ipods belong to me, husband and 2 kids.  How can the kids now get their own accounts but keep the stuff I have already downloaded for them?  They have their own laptops

    I am currently running 4 ipod classics through my own account/profile on itunes.  They belong to me, my husband and 2 kids. 
    The kids are getting older now and have their own laptops.  I would like them to have their own itunes accounts as they will be away from home much of the time and will want to make their own puchases. 
    How can I set them up so that they are independent from my account, but not lose the content that I have downloaded for them over the years?  (A lot of content).

    You and your husband can share a store account and still have seperate iCloud accounts for your contacts, bookmarks and stuff like that.  Click here for instructions to make an apple account without entering a credit card.  Make sure you use a different email address for each apple account. 
    Set up your iPhone/iPad whatever using the new account for iCloud.  Then go into settings/store and sign in with your purchasing account, you may need to sign out of the other account.  To the best of my knowledge, your household is allowed to share purchased legally, someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
    Once you each have your own devices set to your own accounts you can set them to backup to that account and it will keep all your contacts seperate.

  • How can I allow the gift recipient of an Ipod to have their own account and remove my own?

    How can I remove my old ID from an Ipod I no longer own, when I no longer have any Apple products?
    What happens to the device if I am able to remove my identifying data or delete the account?
    Is there a way for me to know whether a paying account was set up and tied to the account without downloading and installing iTunes?
    Can I remove an account on an Apple iPod I once owned and that is now in the hands of a happy recipient?

    Erase the iPod remotely provided that iCloud is turned on and the iPod is connected to the interent
    iCloud: Erase your device
    Then remove the device from your account
    Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
    I do not really know what you mean by:
    What happens to the device if I am able to remove my identifying data or delete the account?
    Is there a way for me to know whether a paying account was set up and tied to the account without downloading and installing iTunes?

  • Can two users of the same iMac have their own "space" and how is this set up?

    My wife and I will share the same new iMac.  Can we each have our own "space" complete with personal background preferences, tools, etc.?  How would I set this up?

    As PrDm indicated, you can indeed each have your own user account in Mac OS X. But you do not have to log out for the other person to use their own account in Mac OS X. You can use Fast User Switching:

    That makes it a lot easier to share a single computer.

  • The cruise ship which we are traveling says that safari browser does to work on their wireless system and that Firefox should be downloaded to act as the browser. Is this possible on an ipad2?

    Is there a Firefox browser that can be downloaded to my ipad2?

    Sorry, Mozilla doesn't make a version of Firefox for iOS. Apple's SDK requirements are too strict.
    Find out if that wireless system supports Opera, which does have a version for iOS, used on the iPhone and iPad.

  • Mobile stolen and I want to turn off the device and locate it

    heelp me :
    Mobile stolen and I want to turn off the device and locate it  

    If you set up the Find My iPhone service prior to your iPhone going missing, then there is a chance that can be tracked, though it depends on a number of factors: the iPhone is turned on, connected to either the 3G or a WiFi network, or has not had the Find My iPhone service disabled or the iPhone been completely restored. Log into icloud.com and go to the Find My iPhone section. If you did not set up Find My iPhone, check with your cell carrier. Some carriers offer their own tracking service, though you usually have to sign up when you still have the phone and have to pay for the service. 
    If your carrier does not offer such a service and you did not set up Find My iPhone, then there is no way to track the unit. Notify the police and your cell carrier, and change any passwords for any online accounts you may have used from your iPhone (the iTunes Store, for instance). 
    Regards.

  • How do I get to the startup menu. I have 6 apps start when I power on that I want to turn off.

    I want to turn off some of the apps when my system starts up. There are about 6 apps, programs, that start and it takes too long for the mac to get going.

    Two possibilities: Open System Preferences, select Users & Groups, and right above your user picture you'll see buttons for Password and Login Items. Select Login Items. In the window pane you'll see a list of items that are selected for startup at login. Select an item you don't want and click on the minus button at the bottom of the pane.
    If any (or all) of the programs that are starting up don't appear in this list it means that these programs were running when you shut the computer down. In Lion, by defaul, any program running when the computer is shut down will automatically restart. There's a dialog box that appears when you select logout or restart which allows you to cancel this for that logout only. In other words, you much click the checkmark each time you logout/quit. I don't shutdown often and have an SSD so this behavior doesn't annoy me much, except at work where i don't have an SSD and I do shut down more often.

    Do a reset by holding the power and home button until the apple logo appears ignoring the slide to power off (no data loss).

  • How do I turn off the automatic check for update on opening Firefox? I want to turn off that "what's new" page.

    How do I turn off that automatic update that always brings me to the "what's new" web page? It was interesting the first time, but now it is just an irritation. I can check for updates on my own, so I want to turn off this feature. It just started up when I upgraded to Firefox 5. I can't find a place to stop it from checking and bringing me to that web page. Also, I can't stop it from checking add-ons every single time I open the browser.

    did you check the suggestions mentioned in the article i posted in my previous post ??

  • HT5100 I want to turn off the autoplay feature.  I'd like ITunes to stop after one podcast.  The latest version has changed the default for playback.

    I want to turn off the autoplay feature in iTunes.  I'd like iTunes to stop after one podcast.  The latest version has changed the default for playback.

    Make sure that the system time and date on your computer are set correctly.
    If "I Understand the Risks" is missing then this page may be opened in an (i)frame and in that case try the right-click context menu and use "This Frame: Open Frame in New Tab".
    You can retrieve the certificate and check details like who issued certificates and expiration dates of certificates.
    *Click the link at the bottom of the error page: "I Understand the Risks"
    Let Firefox retrieve the certificate: "Add Exception" -> "Get Certificate".
    *Click the "View..." button and inspect the certificate and check who is the issuer of the certificate.
    You can see more Details like intermediate certificates that are used in the Details pane.
    Note that some firewalls monitor secure (https) connections and send their own certificate instead of the website's certificate.
