Kids can't browse internet in their profile if parental controls are on

Hi,
I have profiles set up for each of my kid on our Mac. Up until a couple of weeks ago, I could set parental controls for time/programs to open etc. AND they could still browse the internet using Safari.
For some reason the last couple of weeks the kids can't browse Safari if they have a managed account. The only way to let them browse is to change their account status to "standard" instead of "managed". Is there a way that I can manage their account and still let them browse the internet? I've been trying to figure out this for days but I can't figure out what has changed to prevent them from doing this. I have recently run all software updates.
Thanks so much!

I'm replying to my own posting as I have solved the problem and wanted to post it in case anyone else has the same problem.  I would venture to say that upcoming updates to the Android system may solve this problem.
For some reason, when the Thrive is set for DHCP ip addressing, it is not going out to the internet.  So, I changed the network profile to manual with a static IP address.  I also input the router address and DNS addresses with the router's IP address.  As soon as I saved the changes it was magic.  The tablet connected and internet speed was lightning fast.
So, anyone having problems, give this a try as you'll not get anywhere with Cisco or Toshiba support.

  • Safari can't open a specific web page when parental controls are enabled and don't give access to modify the dock.

    iMac running mountain lion with all updates applied.
    I (my kids) are trying to use www.coolmath-games.com and when I have parental controls enabled and I do not give the ability to modify the dock the page comes up blank.
    It doesn't matter how I have the web controls set (I said allow all just to be sure).
    If I toggle on "allow user to modify the dock" the above page works.  If I toggle it off, then the page doesn't work.
    I *think* this page worked in Lion, but I don't know for sure.  The kids just started complaining about it after I updated to mountain lion.
    Any suggestions?

  • Profile Manager Parental Controls

    I have been attempting to use the Profile Manger to set Parental Controls for the kids accounts. I created a Kids group and both of my children's accounts belong the Kids group. When I install the profile, it shows as successfully installed, but the Parental Controls are not affected. I have tried both network accounts and local account. If I set options on the Dock everything applies and works as expected, but when I try to set Parental Controls the settings seem to not take affect.

    Because my router is not in a position to block Internet addresses that I have set up the Profile Manager. So far so good, it all works except for the parental control. Local Wi-Fi I have all the iPhone's, iPad's, iPod's and iMac's added in the Profile Manager and logged over the https address. / / Server.local / mydevices. The settings sent successful (set server account) via push notification . But the parental control has no effect on the device. The value "True" under parental control is evident, i have outside of the clients and mobile devices full access to Internet. On the Internet I could not find on the subject.

  • Can I use my Time Capsule for wifi parental control?

    Can I use my Time Capsule for WiFi parental control.  The objective first is to use a time clock to control internet access (completely on or off).  Second objective is to use the Time Capsule which is also the WiFi router for more selective internet control?  Anyone out there have any tips on making this work?  We have Time Warner cable feeding the house internet, which is then corrected to the 2Tb Time Capsule which also provides our WiFi.  Any information including other alternatives would be most appreciated.  Surely we are not the only parents on the planet with this issue.  Thanks very much!

    how do I get the Mac addresses for each device (this won't be a problem, I demand the device, check it, and then return it).
    What wireless devices are we looking at here?
    Most devices have the AirPort ID or MAC Address or Hardware Address printed on the back or bottom of the device
    Otherwise, you can learn the correct number by process of elimination. Turn off all wireless devices except your Mac computer....if it is connecting using wireless.
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click on the Time Capsule icon
    Look for Wireless Clients and click on the numerical IP address that is displayed
    Another box will open
    Look for the Hardware Address. It will be displayed as xx : xx : xx : xx :xx : xx
    Write that down and note that it is your Mac.
    Now, connect another wireless device and repeat the sequence.  Click on the "other" listing that you see to find out more info about that device.  Write down the ID or Address and note what device it is. Then power it off.
    Do the same for each wireless device that you want to have limited access.
    Post back when you have all the info.

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

    Parental Controls are not working correctly.  There are websites I've listed under Allow Access, however they are still blocked. - such as:  Yahoo mail and USAA banking.  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.

  • Can we Maintain two Cost Center Hierarchies in one Controlling Area

    Dear All,
    My client established a 2nd plant and he wants seperate Cost Center Hierarchy, cost center groups and cost centers for that 2nd Plant. Can we maintain two cost center hierarchies in one controlling area.
    Please suggest me steps related to this configuration.
    Regards,
    Balaji Bhonsle

    Hi,
    Standard hierarchy is a tree structure containing all the cost centers in a controlling area from the Controlling standpoint. You can create a separate node assigned to Standard hierarchy for your new Plant. You can have only one Std.hierarchy. Alternative hierarchy for any reporting purpose is definitely an option.
    Hope this helps.

  • Can't browse internet on ipad2, but laptops works fine - any ideas?

    Have a weird problem surfing the internet with my ipad2 that started out of the blue a few days ago. Everything had been working fine up until then and I don't remember changing anything or updating new software...
    Can't browse the internet on the ipad anymore, and when i point browser at website, it thinks for awhile then brings up an earthlink page (my ISP). Still receives mail/twitter though, so some data is coming through, but facebook app isn't working. And my 2 laptops connect fine, full on browsing. Also seems like my wife's new iphone is having the same problem, starting at same time.
    I really have no idea - anyone heard of this?

    Try going to Settings > Safari> Clear History, Cookies, Cache on the iPad. If that doesn't work then do a reboot of the device by pressing and holding the on/off and home buttons simultaneously until the screen goes blank and you see the apple logo. It should take about 10-15 seconds to reboot.

  • WRT54G Can ping to outside world but can't browse internet.

    I have a WRT54G wireless router. The wireless is working fine as I can communicate with the router admin area via a web browser. I can also send and receive packets by pinging a site - like www.google.com. The router is connected to a cable modem. If I plug my laptop directly to this modem (by-passing the router) I can browse the web no problem.
    I have a network cable connecting the modem and router. If I unplug this cable the 'internet' light on the router goes out (indicating that it can sense the modem), when I plug it back in it goes on again. So everything seems fine. Only I can't browse the web or send and receive email through the router.
    I have tried resetting the router to the defaults - all to no avail. It was working fine, then last weekend - without touching any settings, something changed and we were unable to browse as usual???
    Any ideas? Thanks, Michael 

    If you are using Zone Alarm, right click on the ZA icon in the system tray (lower right corner of screen) and then click "Shutdown ZoneAlarm", and see if this fixes your problem. If this does not work, try the following with Zone Alarm: Open the ZAISS control center, go to Privacy, then temporarily turn off Ad Blocking and Cookie Control, and see if that fixes your problem.
    If you are using Noton Internet Security with the Add-on Pack, be sure to turn off the Pop-up Blocker, and the Ad blocker. Some users have reported that they needed to uninstall the entire Norton Add-on Pack.
    If you have neither, check what firewall or Internet security you have on your PC, Disable it and try accessing the Internet.Also adjust your IE browser settings. 
    Open an Internet Explorer browser page >>> Tools >>> Internet Options- On "General" Click on "Use Blank" button. Click on "Delete Cookies" and click on ok of the confirmation box. Click on "Delete Files" and check the option "Delete All Offline Contents" and click Ok- Click on "Clear History" as well. Then go to "Connections" Select "Never Dial a Connection". Click on the "LAN Settings button". Uncheck all the boxes
    here and click Ok- Go to "Advanced". Click on the restore defaults button below and then click on Apply and then Ok.Close the IE and Reopen it again, Check if you have internet.

    I've got it !
    It's just when AdBlock is activated, I can't go to any websites, even the default page of Arora. I don't understand why, because I use the same filters on my firefox, and it works.
    It's now solved

  • Can't browse internet on windows phone

    I Have an HTC One M8 windows phone.  I noticed that I can't browse the internet or send/receive email when it's in either 3G or 4G mode only.  If there's wi-fi present - no problem. 

    Have you tried reseating the SIM card? Turn off the phone and remove the SIM card for a few minutes and reassemble and reboot.

  • Suddently can't browse internet... "You are not connected to Internet"

    It has been now 2 months that I have an issue with internet with my Macbook Pro.
    I am connected to Internet and browsing internet, however suddenly and without any reason Safari/Firefox give me a message you are not connected to internet. However, MSN or YM are still working fine
    It happened to me with both Airport and Ethernet connection but only with my specific provider (but only in my macbook pro, not in my pc or iphone)
    When the problem occurs, I run a network diagnostic and found the following
    - Pinging an address that need DNS won't work (ping www.facebook.com ==> error: host unknown)
    - DNS lookup however working: lookup www.facebook.com ==> 66.220.145.10
    - Pinging 66.220.145.10 is working
    - any traceroute on IP numeric address is working, however when it need DNS it is not working (traceroute www.facebook.com: unknown host)
    The workaround I found is to disable and enable again the interface to make it working...
    Did someone have experience the issue?
    Regards, Bernard

    Me too.  What a pain!

  • I am running iTunes on an IBM comp system Win XP with a 70gb hard disk. I have 4 kids with 4 IPOD Touches. Their apps and album art are eating up the hard disk space. I changed the Media Folder to an external hard disk. How do I get the apps to go their?

    I am running iTunes on an IBM compatible system running Windows XP with a relatively small hard disk (70gb). I have 4 kids with 4 IPOD Touches, multiple IPOD Nanos, etc. Their apps and album art are eating up the hard disk space. I changed the Media Folder through Edit, Prferences, Advances, iTunes Media Folder to an external hard disk. The new music downloads and purchases go there but the apps and other items do not. How do I get the apps and other iTunes software and downloads to go to the external hard disk

    There is no built in function to make this happen.
    Your options are:
    Upgrade the existing hard drive.
    Try creating a link for the app folder on the external drive... this may or may not work.
    Realistically, a larger hard drive is a better solution, then use the external drive for keeping a backup of the ENTIRE iTunes folder and any other personal data on the system.

  • No internet access when Parental Controls are enabled.

    I have a MacBook Pro running Leopard(OSX 10/5.8). Until recently Parental Controls worked flawlessly for my kids accounts. Within the last few weeks something happened and now the kids can't get to any websites with Parental Controls enabled.  Every URL we try we get a "can't connect to the server" message in Safari. Switching their accounts to standard fixes the issue so it is definitelyt a Parental Controls issue. I created a new account and see the same issue if I make it a managed account. Nothing has changed with our setup. i.e. no software upgrades, router changes etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    I'm experiencing the same issues. I've tried some of the work-arounds that people reported as working for them, but they haven't solved the issue for me. I don't know if this is a good clue, but here is the error log from /private/var/log/apache2
