Is there a FREE Parental Controls software for Mac?

Does anyone know of a free parental controls software for Mac? I have OS 10.3.9 and don't want to (or need to) get 10.4 +. Thus I can't run safari 2.0 or later and I want to have parental controls. I suspect it's out there but I can't seem to find it. TIA all.

For Tiger, Workgroup Manager (part of the free Tiger Server Admin Tools) offers greatly expanded account management options than what the built-in Parental Controls offers. OS X Server is not required; it works great on the regular OS X.
There was a version for Panther too, but I never tried it, so I don't know if it will do what you need. But the screen shot on the download page suggests that it might. You might want to download it yourself and try it out:

You might also try asking your question in the "OS X 10.3 and earlier" forum here in the discussions. This forum is for Tiger only.

Parental Control Software for mac

I recently downloaded if2k for macintosh as a parental software. It works great, but now I cannot successfully download quotes on my Quicken software.
Does anyone know of a fix for this or if not, does anyone know of a good parental control software for Macintosh? I realize that Safari has one but we home school and cannot seem to keep up with the list of websites we would have to add to the toolbar to work it successfully.

Hi Doublemann,
Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Create another User Account for each member of the family. You can create also one named "Family", "Team", etc, and one "Home School".
Keep only two admin accounts, and all children accounts managed, or standard with your parental control software enabled.
That way your children's limited accounts do not mix with your admin accounts.
Use Quicken on your own account, not on the Home School one.

Every account you set up can be localized in a different language if you want. So you can have yours in Itallian and your son's in English. The language is determined by what is at the top of the list in system prefs/language & text/language. You just drag the one you want there and logout/login.

Free photo editing software for Macs & PCs?

Hi folks!
I am looking for a free photo editing software to use for an upcoming class. I have a MacBook at home, but I will be teaching in a classroom equipped with PCs. I was hoping to find a free software that students could practice on in class and then download free for use at home afterward.
Have been trying to download Gimp 2.8.2, but I can't get it to install on my Mac OS 10.6.8 - It downloads but will not start.
Please let me know any suggestions.
Thanks in advance!

i guess i want something where you can directly play with the images...cut out a section of the picture.....replace it with something else (like add icon/pictures over top of it)
also, the ability to paint colors over the picture and alter them in other ways, not just image quality or resizing it...
if there are no free programs for this, what are some cheap ones?
i looked at the programs that have been posted alreaedy, and i don't think that they are really what im looking for...
thank you!

Free Project Management Software for Mac or windows!

Hi all,
Does anyone know of a good project management software that does more than what Microsoft project does and is freely available? I mean one that has a local application but also can update updates to the web side of the software? I saw sharedPlan which is really good so far but its not freely available. It runs on Mac and Windows but really looking for a windows version as all my team members only use windows.
So I guess am asking for one that's open source?
Please let me know.

You might want to check out Wikipedia page and look for open source http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparisonof_project_managementsoftware
The only free tools that I know of are web based such as Zoho projects, Basecamp etc..
Or you can always download and use for 30 days tools from:
http://www.geniusinside.com
http://openproj.org/

Is there a Karaoke CD+G burner software for Mac yet?

Hi, I unwittingly downloaded the karaoke songs I wanted from Amazon to make a performance list, only to discover that I don't have the words. kJam seems complicated what with having to buy plug-ins, etc. so I'm hoping there is another way to solve this by now (almost 2013) Is there?
Thanks for any input. Kate

Hi

Is there a FREE IPOD recovery software for Mavericks?

Just wondering if there is a Free IPOD recovery software for Mavericks.
Thanks

Yes. Next question please...
Oh, you wanted details too?
See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
If you mean an iPod classic then Finder and iTunes should be all you need unless you want to grab the playlists and stats too.

How do I convert the text on a scanned in email? Is there a good free OCR software?

I have an email that I need the wording in the email changed, Is there a good free OCR software that i can use? I really dont know what im doing and can use any and all the help I can get!!.. Thanks in advance..pete

Indeed, you can set the strings for the on and off state, but it will
only show the default off state text when running on a pocketPC. A
solution is to use two buttons: one to turn on and another to turn off.
By overlaying the two controls and hiding the last pushed button, you
can actually simulate a single button. See attachment (LV7.1).

Any ideas for security and parental control software yet???

Just received two of the touchpads from the fire sale and gave them to my kids, both under 10. I am very interested in limiting the sites that can be accessed through the browser, as well as a few other things. Has anyone found a practical means of doing this? I'd hate to give up on this and switch it over to Android, especially since there is only Gingerbread available. But, I just don't know what else I can do about these. Any ideas?
Thanks!
Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)

Please take this post with a grain of salt. I don't claim to be a security and parental control software expert, but I have researched these solutions and have some personal experience with them. That being said, here's some ideas to get you started.
As speedtouch mentioned, OpenDNS is a fantastic solution for website filtering. They have a great set of filters that can be customized and are one of the easiest systems to set up. Simply install an updater app on one of your desktop computers (or directly on your router if it's supported), configure your router to use their DNS servers, and you're good to go. I personally use this system mysefl and it works really well. The only downside in my experience is that there is not a temporary override system (at least, not in the free version that I use). An example of when this might be handy: my wife goes clothes shopping and looking at new bras. Every once in a while, a perfectly legitimate site might get blocked (in this case, probably something I don't want my kid looking at but perfectly fine for my wife). The option to "temporarily override the block" or "temporarily allow" the site would be nice, but it doesn't exist.
Another FANTASTIC solution that I've used in the past is the Astaro Security Gateway. They have a free home version of their "Software Appliance" that goes above and beyond OpenDNS. I haven't used it in a while, but when I did it was able to not only filter web sites but also monitor Instant Messaging and other online activites. It's a bit more involved as you need your own hardware (I used an old computer with 2 network cards and stuck it in between my router and my broadband modem), but the results are pretty powerful.
The downside to all these solutions, however, is that they will only work when the TouchPad is on your network. If they connect to a neighbors network of if the go to a friends house, all of these systems will be moot because they are completely bypassed. The only way to monitor that content from ANY network would be to install an application on the device itself and to my knowledge, none exist.

Is there a good free qraphic equalizer that works well with iTunes?

Is there a good free graphic equalizer that works well with iTunes?

I find plenty of audio editing tools but few playback controls.
Example- The equalizer in iTunes is rather bland.
Any old stereo system has a better display.
The controls are icing on the cake for audio
but I'd pay for a complete array of adjustments.
The more lights, bells, whistles,the better.
PS-That would also make an awesome screen saver

So, what's available along those lines?

BEST free Subtitler software for MAC !!!

dudes!!!
today I've found my "salvation"!!!
For years i've searched for a good subtitler software for Mac which exports
my subtitle file in STL format so that i can open it in DVD STudio Pro.
And I've found just the one!!!
It's called JUBLER
http://www.jubler.org/
For more accurate informations, see the website.
but I'm tealling you... I'm almost sure you won't find anything this easy and powerfull to
use... It's not complicated for first users and once you get the hang of it, you can subtitle an entire
30 minutes video in 1 hour tops, depending only on your typing and mouse control speed, lol.
this is definatly worth checking out!
to all "DVD authorers", cheers!!!
(if you use another one, fell free to share it with us)

Good morning,
I use one called MovCaptioner and it's great, easy to use, can do closed or open captions (with Quicktime Pro) and can export titles in .stl format to import to DVD Studio Pro. And not to expensive! They even give you a free trial.
