Monitor my kid's activities on the internet
I need to download a program that can help me monitor my kid's activities on the internet, is there a safe way to do it? I have a Mac mini with the latest os
Google "keystroke logger Mac OS X". You'll see several options, I didn't see any right away that were completely free, but some have a trial or limited free version.
I found:
http://download.cnet.com/Elite-Keylogger/3000-2162_4-75974769.html
http://download.cnet.com/Perfect-Keylogger-Lite/3000-2092_4-75813111.html
http://download.cnet.com/Refog-Mac-Keylogger/3000-2162_4-75543697.html
and
http://foliovision.com/2010/01/keyloggers-mac-os-x
has some recommendations that are probably better than mine.
Oh, and if you're kids are like mine on Facebook, get ready for some MASSIVE logs of their activity. If only they'd put that kind of effort into homework.

How can I monitor what my kids are searching on the internet and chats with their iphones
Can I monitor from my iphone what my kids are searching on their iphones
Hello Fellows2014,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains helpful advice concerning parental controls:
iOS: Understanding Restrictions (parental controls)
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4213
You can enable Restrictions, also known as parental controls, on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. Restrictions stop you from using specific features and applications. Learn more about the types of Restrictions and how to enable or disable them on your device.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.

How can we not connect to the Internet?
Hi! My question is kind of different from others. Most people try to connect to the Internet, but I'm trying to prevent the connection. Hope some one can answer my question.
Due to concerns on parental control, I need to limit the kid's use of the Internet. I've set the access restriction on my router, so my kid is allowed to be on-line only in certain days and times. However, her computer is equippted with an AirPort Card, and it allows her to connect to another wireless base rather than ours. Which then makes my effort in vain. So, how can I block her wireless connection to other bases, so she can connect to the Internet through our router only in permitted hours?
Her computer is MacBook Pro. 17-in with OS X TIger
Thanks.
Mac OS X (10.3.9)In the Airport network preferences, click on the Options button and select "Require administrator password to: change wireless networks." You can also set "If no recent networks are found:" to "Keep looking for recent networks." Change the preference to automatically join networks to preferred networks and remove the neighbor's network from the list.
You may try experimenting with the first setting as, being that this is a laptop, it might be nice to be able to connect to a wifi hotspot. I think the preferred network option with the Keep looking option may accomplish this. However, you would have to add the hotspots as the administrator. i.e. physically go there and add it to the preferred networks list.
When you are done configuring, click the lock to lock those settings.
I have never tried any of these things, so I don't know how they will functionally work. I based it all on what the options said and the help files. -
Using a mac book pro !
Can you use apple tv to play a movie on your tv (say for kids to watch) and use your mac book at the same time to browse the internet ???Good question bigboggerchoot. I also would like to know the answer to this.

My internet keeps 'tripping' at or around the same period time each day. We have already replaced our modem from our internet provider and we bought a new airport extreme router. We do not believe these were the cause, although we have now ruled them out as a cause. Everytime the internet fails, our internet provider company tells us that there is still plenty of signal coming into our house. There is something going on inside we believe, and a technician set up our Network Utility to run a continuous ping test to capture information about when it 'trips' againn. Yesterday, it happened again, and when he checked the data out, he said he is sure there is something 'running in the background' on my IMac. He advised me to download a free Network Analyzer so he could further investigate what is was that was causing the problem, so I need a free network analyzer software for my Mac. The issue has been going on for a long time, so it is not the new operating system, Lion. This morning, we changed the radio channel from 'auto' to 'manual' and set a new channel, hoping that might help. We are trying to find out what program may be running (even a tiny one in the background) which is causing our internet to fail, although the internet is still coming into our modem. What is free downloadable product is recommended?
Will Activity Monitor and/or Network Utility, both already in the Utilities folder on your Mac, help in trying to diagnose the problem.
If you are connecting via wifi what encryption are you using? If you're using the Exteme I doubt that you are using WEP, but worth checking as it seems Macs don't like it and work better using WPA. -
I have set a family safeguard to notify me when a phone on my account makes a purchase on the internet. I'm a bit confused how this works, because shortly after Verizon texted me the first notice of an internet purchase--there have been two, my kid texted me she would pay me back for it. Nothing has appeared on my Verizon bill, and I find nothing in current usage reports about it. Is this notice just for my information about what my kid is doing? Can she charge a purchase on the internet to my Verizon account?
When I examined the notice settings on My Verizon, I saw that when Verizon notifies me of something I've requested notice about, data usage, for example, it also notifies the phone involved. That's how my kid knew I knew of of the her purchases. I'm thinking now that she misunderstood the notice she got as telling me that Verizon would bill her purchase to my account. I assumed she knew that to be true. I know suspect she made a purchase on line with her debit card and thinks she billed it to me. The good news is my kid is responsible enough to offer to pay a charge she thinks she put on my account. The bad news, for her, is she could be emptying her bank account thinking I've got it covered and she can pay me back a little at a time.
Can anyone confirm that Verizon's notice of an internet purchase via a phone on my account is unrelated to how that purchase is paid? Also--this is the fun part--should I give her a heads up that she's probably spending all of her money, or should I let her learn when she's broke that she needs to understand what she's doing when she spends money. Tough call from my point of view.Hello Pligrim,
Thanks for reaching out to us today. You have reached out to the right person to help you out today. These are great questions. With the alrets for purchasing apps or ringtones, those alerts are normally triggered when one is billing those charges to the account. What kind of device does your daughter have? How long ago did you receive the alert? If it was within this billing cycle that you are in right now it will not show up until the billing cycle closes for the month. We can always review the account for you to double check to make sure that they are either being charged to the Verizon Wireless acccount or to your daughters bank account.
I requested to follow you, please accept my request and please request to follow me back. Once we are following each other please send me a Direct Message. This way we can go over the account specifics. Hope to hear from you soon.

My kids have figured a workaround for the internet access control
I was quite happy with Network Magic until my kids rendered it fairly ineffective by a simple workaround. The internet access control seems to be tied into each PC's clock. So, my kids simply change the time on the computer and ... Voila! Internet access whenever the parents aren't around. I was kind of hoping the internet access schedule would be linked to the time on the router. I'm hoping this can be fixed.
Message Edited by molsoncdn on 12-13-2009 06:58 PMHi, set your kids user accounts to not be admins, and set the BIOS password, this will migate that workaround.
My Cisco Network Magic Configuration:
Router: D-Link WBR-2310 A1 FW:1.04, connected to Comcast High Speed Internet
Desktop, iMac: NM is on the Windows Partition, using Boot camp to access Windows, Windows 7 Pro 32-bit RTM, Broadcom Wireless N Card, McAfee Personal Firewall 2009,
Mac Partition of the iMac is using Mac OS X 10.6.1 Snow Leopard
Laptop: Windows XP Pro SP3, Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG, McAfee Personal Firewall 2008
Please note that though I am a beta tester for Network Magic, I am not a employee of Linksys/Cisco and am volunteering my time here to help other NM users. -
Information on how to monitor VI's via the internet
I'm attempting to find some more information about how to set up Internet Toolkit such that we can monitor our VI's remotely via the web.
We've got some processes running which we need to monitor with LabView at the moment, so I cannot install the Internet Toolkit which is on the NI Developer Suite. Since I don't want to disturb LabView at this time, I'm interested in trying to find some information about how one would go about using Internet Toolkit to make our VI's viewable from the internet.
Any direction would be appreciated. Thanks.Dennis Knutson wrote in news:506500000005000000DDB10100-

i have a problem when i am connecting my mbpr to a monitor , the internet is going very slow when i connect to the monitor plz help me if i buy a vga to minidisplay it will help??
dovdov2,
are you saying that when you connect your MacBook Pro to a monitor, your Internet connection slows down, but when you disconnect the monitor, it speeds up again, and that this is reproducible from one day to another?
Does this happen both under OS X and under Windows 7, or only under one of them?
How are you currently connecting your MacBook Pro to your monitor? -

As I said above, I want to view my iPod screen on our new 40" Sony Internet full HD TV.
I know that you can do this via HDMI but a Sony guy said that you should be able to do this wirelessly by going through the router. Is this true and can I do this without the need for the Apple TV?
We are soon going to get the airport extreme, so will it work with that?1. Is it a smart TV?
2. If so.... Is the TV connected to the Internet?
3. If it is.... Check if your iPod and your TV share the same IP address (Wi-Fi network)
4. If they do.... Then you should go to wherever your "Other Media" tab is.
5. After that.... Search for you iPod. Because it is connected to the same network, it should recognize the device they same way AirPrint does.
6. If you happen to see this fail, then try this method:
1. Do you have a Bluetooth-enabled computer/laptop?
2. If so.... Enable the bluetooth on the computer/laptop as well as your iPod.
3. After that.... Your iPod should be actively searching and it should find the computer/laptop.
4. If it did.... Transfer the file onto Windows/Mac (preferably Mac) and find the program to open the file.
5. After doing so.... Connect your computer/laptop to the TV via HDMI Output Cable.
6. Now it should work! -
We can't get on to the internet, all the account numbers are correct and it says we are connected, but the last step it wants to get the old password in order for us to open on to the internet. How do we find and remove the old password.
We can't find the password or get it from the school we received the computer from.Go to System Preferences
Click Network
Highlight AirPort and click Configure...
Choose “By default, join: Preferred networks”
Select your access point and Remove your access point with the minus button.
Launch your keychain access in Utilities and delete your access point keychain entry.
Reboot
Go back to the “By default, join:” page and click the plus this time to add your access point. Enter the correct password, save, reboot.
Instead of joining it from the list, click the WiFi icon at the top, and click join other network. Fill in everything as needed. Before I went through network diagnostics and all of that stuff in system preferences, and then I tried the "Join Other Network" method, and now it works like a dream. -
The Internet (firefox, safari) are loading VERY slow. At first I thought it was just my school's website acting up, but after talking to their technical support they had me delete cache and cookies, make sure all programs are updated including plug ins like adobe, flash plug in etc. All of these things didn't help when I did them. On my school's website the videos do not load completely so they are choppy when viewed. After finishing an activity it won't load my score, during activities the page constantly has errors. It was just this website that was slow to load but now it seems like any website I go to is very slow. I am wondering if the loading problem is contributed to the computers memory, or lack of. However, I am not expert when it comes to computers so I don't know how to figure out how much free disc space I have/memory etc. I'm wondering if this is the problem. I have increased my activity on this computer for school, including more documents, downloading etc. So do you think the slowness of the internet is contributed to the memory or disc space? I believe I have snow leopard. it is MAC OS X 10.6.8 with Memory: 2GB 1067 MHz DDR3. Please help! Thank you!

Problems Connecting to the Internet
Please bear with me I am new to Cisco Routers.
Back Ground:
Small company that has 2 public IP addesses. The company has 2 buiildings across the street from each other and no way to directly connect them together. Currently the company has 2 NetGear Prosafe FVS336G routers to create a VPN between the two buildings. I am trying to replace the NetGear equipment with 2 Cisco 1921 routers with an EHWIC-1GE-SFP-CU card in each. The ISP has fiber running to each buiilding with a media converter that changes the fiber to copper. No matter what I do I have not been able to get the routers onto the internet. I can ping through the LAn port to the WAN port but not to the next hop to the gateway. Here is the configurations:

endHI Scott,
If I were you, I would remove the WAN connection cable from the router and connect to a laptop and assign the WAN ip address on to the laptop and verify if the internet is working fine from laptop using public ip address. If this is not working then you will have to work with you ISP on the same.
If this is working i would connect back the cable to router WAN port again and check "show ip nat translations" on the router to verify if the NAT is working fine when you try browsing.
Hope that helps.
Regards
Najaf

Parental Monitoring of Kids' Computer Activity
Is there a mechanism, via OX X or third party software, to see the activity on my kids' computers on my computer? Although I have seen partial answers to this question, I want to find out if there is anything new out there. Other than Spector, any other ideas? I plan to tell the kids about the monitoring (the "trust but verify" approach). Other than general discussions about some of the perils of the internet, including predators, postings that will never die, and exposure to things that really no one should ever see but certainly no one under 18, any thoughts on specific warnings we should be giving our kids?
Well I personally like Apple's Parental Controls. It's built into the mac. It covers the basics, for free. It offers different levels of control.
There is also: NetNanny, internet-security-barrier , KidsBrowser (a kid safe web browser), BumperCars(another kid targeted browser), Spector Pro (slows down computer, takes lots of space, gotta clean out frequently), in the same line macspysoftware / eblaster.
