Lack of iPhone content filtering

Why does Apple not allow (or provide) any advanced content filtering software on the iPhone/iPad? Simply turning off internet browsers and preventing App downloads is not a solution. I believe many people would use content filtering software/features if provided. The explicit video/image internet issues today are of epidemic proportions and I know many would agree with me on this. The iPhone is an excellent device, but if Apple does not come up (or allow) a rock solid solution soon, I may have to use an inferior product (which does provide/allow these things) just so my family and I can be protected. Who would be the right person to talk to in order to have my voice heard?

Settings > General > Restrictions.
There is an Explicit Language option.
Under Allowed Content, there is a Ratings option based on a selected country for Music & Podcasts, Movies, TV Shows, Books, and Apps.

  • Are Content Filters available from Verizon for Apple iPhone 5c?

    I noticed that Verizon offers Content Filters for my kids' Apple iPhone 4, but one is not offered for the 5c.  Is that correct?
    If so, what are some good alternatives for a dad concerned about his son's access to the garbage on the interweb?

        CluelessDad We understand the importance of content filtering for your devices. The 4g apple devices do not support our content filtering options. You can try going into the settings for the brwoser on the device settings, general,restrictions and restrcition options.

  • Does "first match" win on Content Filters?

    If I define multiple content filters for a given outbound mail policy, would system stop looking at filters once a match is found on one of the content filters or should I force that by using a "final" action in my content filters?
    I know "first match wins" apply to some other scenarios, but couldn't see a clear explanation to above question in section 6 of Config guide where content filters are defined (and testing with system did not clear that for me either).
    Thanks.

    Hello John,
    An emaill being processed by the content filters or messages filters will continue down the list of  content/message filters until it hits the last filter or a 'final' action filter command.   If the email being processed needs to exit (by administrative choice), the filter it hits, should have a final action.  This only applies to certain conditions, where the administrator does not want the filter's last action to be overwritten by another filter down the pipeline.
    cheers,

  • HT201304 Content filtering on safari

    Can content filtering be setup on safari.
    I'm looking to prevent access for young children.

    You can only hide Safari, you can't filter what yo can view with Safari.
    However, there are other browsers that do allow filtering. Hide Safari and use those browsers. See:

  • High Amount of Spam on Exchange 2013 - Content Filtering is Enabled but Pfizer Spam Filling Up Everyone's Mailboxes

    Hello
    Previously I used Exchange 2010 with Forefront Threat Protection installed and this used to do a good job of stopping all the spam.
    However since updating to Exchange 2013 earlier this year and enabling the integrated spam filtering everyone noticed a sudden increase in the amount of spam which was getting through which has been bad for a long time.
    We have been living with it but in the last 3 weeks everyone has started getting about 40 emails a day from Pfizer for Viagra. All these seem to defeat the content filtering as Viagra is spelt with an extra I and the email address is always different.
    Also images in emails are blocked by default but somehow all the images on these spam messages appear for everyone.
    I am not sure the spam filtering is working at all and I'm not sure how to tell as ForeFront gives you a nice graphical dashboard but I can find nothing similar to this in Exchange and PowerShell seems the only way to configure the limited functionality
    of the content filter.
    Is there any way to get rid of these messages as it doesn't look very good when they are constantly popping up for everyone?
    Thanks

    Hello ManU
    Thanks for the reply.
    I have checked the logs and see this quite often:
    AcceptMessage,,SCL,not available: policy is disabled
    But other times it says this:
    RejectMessage,550 5.7.1 Message rejected as spam by Content Filtering
    Which seems to indicate it is rejecting some.
    This is what one of the email headers look like:

    The emails use a different sender email address every time and there is always a poem in very light grey writing in the body of the email. The drugs are always misspelt as well. Is this why these are getting through?

  • How can i view my iphone contents on PC. How can i view my backup data in itunes. How can i see my SMS and contact on PC

    Hi,
    Can anybody help me out on the follwoing questions
    how can i view my iphone contents on PC. How can i view my backup data in itunes. How can i see my SMS and contact on PC

    The data isn't actually stored in iTunes.  iTunes is like a card catalog that allows you to access information from the various places that it's stored on the computer.  SMS and contact info will be viewable in whatever program you sync contact information.  The backup actually keeps the files, but doesn't make them viewable, I'm pretty sure.  You can only see the info you've actually synced.

  • I have a iphone 4s that I am trying to syn. whenI look at Iphone content it shows music, but there is this symbol  A dotted circle and these will not play.please help asI am frustrated.

    I have a iPhone 4s that I am trying to syn. when I look at IPhone content it shows music, but there is this symbol  A dotted circle and these will not play. Please help as I am frustrated.

    Try restoring the iPhone to factory settings. If you are having difficult restoring, put the iPhone into Recovery Mode and see if that then works:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    If not, or if a restore to factory settings does not fix the problem, then your iPhone may have a hardware problem. You can only get the iPhone serviced by Apple in Canada, so you will have to take the iPhone there or send it to someone you know in Canada who can get the iPhone serviced and send it back to you. The only option for getting service in Pakistan would be to pay some unauthorized repair shop to attempt a repair, after which Apple will no longer provide any service even in Canada.

  • Exchange 2013 SP1 EDGE role content filtering ?

    Hello,
    Have Exchange 2013 SP1 with CU5 with antispam enabled on mailbox role server. And i wonder if i deploy 2013  Edge role, will i get more granular content filter control, like there is in Office 365? For example: i want to treat empty messages as not
    spam.
    I have read that control of Edge server is done ONLY by powershell. So if edge role is deployed, still there is no content filter control in ECP (like in office365) ??

    Hi,
    The Content Filter agent assigns a spam confidence level (SCL) rating to each message. The SCL rating is a number between 0 and 9. A higher SCL rating indicates that a message is more likely to be spam.
    Based on my knowledge, I'm afraid we can't filter the empty messages and treat them as not spam.
    Here is an article about content filtering in Exchange 2013 for your reference.

  • Lost all my iphone content in itunes

    for some reason I have lost all my iphone content that was previously stored in my itunes. all my applications are gone and so is my music. anything that i have downloaded to my phone, no longer shows up in my itunes library on my computer. i have attempted to "manually" manage my music, but get the warning that all the content saved on my phone will be replaced with the content in my itunes library, which has nothing, so I don't want to do that and lose everything that is on my phone. i did the troubleshooting provided by apple with syncing, but that didn't help. i even unistalled itunes and re-installed it hoping it would then collect all the stuff off my phone and save it. any help out there?

    You can "Transfer Purchases" from your iPhone, but if you didn't back up your iTunes library, you're screwed. Check your iTunes library folder (usually located in My Documents > My Music > iTunes) to see if the content is still there, just not showing up in iTunes.

  • How do I get rid of the other section on iphone content bar?

    I have trouble decreasing the amount of the yellow other section on the iphone content bar on itunes, I believe it consists of background encrypted data but I dont know how to decrease it

    A small amount is normal. If there is lots, and you don't have apps with large anounts of private data, then I'd suggest you backup, then restore.

  • I have a new computer from my father that already has his iphone content on it.  what do i need to do to switch my phone over from my old computer to the new one and have the new computer sync MY contacts and content to the new computer without erasing

    i have a new computer from my father that already has his iphone content on it.  what do i need to do to switch my phone over from my old computer to the new one and have the new computer sync MY contacts and content to the new computer without erasing my contact lists and purchased apps?

    okay from reading posts it seems if I transfer my backed up info from my old comp to the new one and erase my dad's phone's back up i could reset my phone and it would transfer all my old data back onto the phone, be linked to the new computer and i could proceed.  Where do i find the backed up info from my phone?

  • How do I transfer iPhone content back to laptop after hard disk crash

    My old hard disk crashed a week ago. How do I transfer all my iPhone content (music, apps, podcasts, ...) back to my laptop after having a new hard disk installed?

    I do have all the backups, but this means that I'd have to individually look up each App, then download it again. Isnt there a simpler way? Doesnt Apple keep an index of some sort of all the items I have purchased, so that a one-click procedure may restore the latest versions of all of them with ease?
    A few years ago I adopted the strategy to keep everything on the web. With now over 20 GB on the web, it just doesnt make sense to do this any more. After the mess up with my hard disk, as far as my documents go, every time I edit any of them, I simply back them up individually onto 2 separate external drives, and burn them on CDs once a week. Having had 4 major hard disk crashes since 1989, I dont really trust automated backup programs any more. I'm much happier if I know where EXACTLY my documents are at any point in time.

  • Conditions based on "EnvelopSender" in Content Filters

    When defining Content Filters, I need to define conditions based on the sender of an email. For example, if the sender is Jim or John, and Subject Line contains a tag [CONFIDENTIAL], the action should be to encrypt the mesasge.
    I realize this could easily be done using LDAP groups. But my problem is that for a number of opertaional reasons I cannot connect our IronPort to our corp LDAP. 
    An alternative is to directly code the user names in the condition statement. This is ugly and problematic for admins and possibly causes other problems as the number of users grows. Could anyone suggest an alternative?
    Is there any option of having the Condition statement open a file and read the "sender" names from the file maintained somewhere on the local or a remote disk? Any other option?
    Thanks.

    I would suggest looking at creating a dictionary that would list the addresses of the individuals. You can use that dictionary from which to base your planned action.  Using LDAP is by far the better option for keeping a list up to date, as the dictionary will need to be updated regularly as addresses change, added or removed.
