Parent Controls needed for video and tv shows in Itunes

I would like to know why Apple didn't have any thoughts to
include video and tv in the parent control area. As a result
we do not allow our children to use the music store anymore.
What choice do we have? Either cut it all off or allow content
that we feel is inappropriate to enter our home.
It would certainly make parents who buy the computers, gadgets etc. to feel that Apple is looking out for their interests.
It would be easy enough to come up with controls certainly like AOL, that would restrict the children to age appropriate
tv and videos, or be able to not have them available at all.

You could use the 'Restrict explicit music' option. This also has effect on video's labeled as explicit (just tried it out).
Hope this helps.

  • Does itunes support intel x3100 graphics  for watch video and tv shows in itunes:  not working

    Hi I have a asus p5k-vm motherboard with intel 3100 onboad graphics accelerator. I had a gtx 570 video card install and was using itunes
    to watch video and tv shows. I sold my gtx 570 and I am using intel x3100 onboard graphics accelerator as my video card. Everything works
    fine until I try to watch video or tv shows in itunes. When it tries to start, the screen starts and then right awat it stop and shuts down becuse of some error. I don't know what the problem is.
    Please help.

    Since updating to 5.0 numerous people have had an issue with optical out. . Try Restart your ATV & computer. Also cycle the power on the ATV and TV (unplug it for 30sec). You should also submit a bug report directly to Apple since they DO NOT read these forums

  • Why is the decline button for phone calls not available when the phone is locked? I need that button and it shows only when the phone is not locked on iOS 7

    Why is the decline button for phone calls not available when the phone is locked? I need that button and it shows only when the phone is not locked on iOS 7

    Yep. You need to touch the sleep/power button once to silence the ring, and twice in order for the call to go directly to Voicemail.
    Personally, I dont understand why Apple eliminated this. If you wish to give Apple feedback, do it here:

  • 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.

  • Coverflow for video and podcasts

    Has it been discussed about implementing coverflow for video and podcasts?
    This would make it so much easier to navigate and also help organize the files on the itouch and iphone.
    How serious is apple about implementing these, Im dying to get this for simple navigation and organizing needs.

    while deleting a thumbnail/icon (by hand or with cocothumbx) might be a quick solution for photos, i expect coverflow to handle this correctly for me. when dealing with thousands of photographs, automatic export from aperture, batch processing in photoshop/bridge etc, i shouldn't have to deal with thumbnails, should i?
    coverflow simply isn't where it should be. i also find it strange that quicklook and coverflow seam to use different algorithms to render files. try an adobe illustrator file for example. the finder doesn't show the content as icon (in a folder), coverflow renders the content/artboard correctly, quicklook only displays the oversized icon. what the...?

  • I use my camera for video and photos.  When I download my videos to my ipad1 using the camera connection kit, they will not play on my ipad. Is there a way I can get them to play?

    I use my camera for video and photos.  When I download my videos to my ipad1 using the camera connection kit, they will not play.
    Does anyone know how I can make this work?

    Yvonne-
    I haven't tried videos on my camera yet.  Do you use the Videos App to play them?  I don't think they will play in the Photos App.
    If yours are in a format that is not in Vazandrew's list, you may need to sync them to your computer and convert them to M4V or MP4 format.  You can use a program like HandBrake to do the conversion.  <HandBrake>  Once converted, you can sync them back to the iPad and they should play.
    This may not meet your needs, but the alternative appears to be getting a different camera.  I don't know of another Video App that might work.

  • ATV2 Connected with HDMI for video and fiber optics for Sound but unable to located the fiber optics option in ATV2

  • How do I convert purchased music videos and television shows into my Itunes liabrary and sync it onto my ipod?

    I recently purchased a music video and a television show episode off of Itunes. It was in my liabrary until I plugged in my Ipod nano 4th generation for it to sync. As my ipod is syncing the music video and tv show episode were'nt in my liabrary and they didn't sync onto my ipod. Yet when I log into my itunes store account the purchsed content is there. How do I get the music video and tv episode into my itunes library and onto my ipod?

    My guess (and it is just a guess) is that what you are trying to do is no different than recording a TV programme to a VCR then watching it at a time of your convenience, probably the main reason why people have purchased VCRs, PVRs and the like.
    However, with commercially produced DVDs, there is an encryption built in to prevent copying, and it the discussion of how to overcome this encryption that Apple will not permit on their forums.

  • What does "played" mean for podcasts and tv shows?

    What does "played" mean for podcasts and tv shows, in terms of the settings menu where you say to synch only "unplayed" shows? Does it mean you started playing it, or that it has played all the way through?
    And how does this relate to the "dots" next to podcasts in the menu? These dots seem to go away when you start listening, but do not finish, a podcast. Is this the same as "played"?
    Thanks!

    You are probably seeing a USB cable under the iTunes icon. This means the Apple TV is having problems and needs to be connected to iTunes to be Restored. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4367

  • 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.

  • I have the apple univeral dock and AV cables and   can play videos and slide shows on my TV but not music How do I play the music

    I am trying to connect an IPOD classic to my TV to play music
    I have the dock and AV cables and can play videos and slide shows but not music

    Actually, i figured part of it out. When I'm playing itunes to my Apple Tv and Airport Express stations around the house, then turn on the mirroring, the itunes volume bar goes all the way to zero. I can bring it back up manually, and it will play on Apple TV, but it won't broadcast to multiple Airport Express speakers, the way it was doing before I turned on mirroring. It seems that mirroring turns off the airport express stations.

    PSD layouts saved for web and devices show up as broken links in dreamweaver. Previews in browsers are fine, but I keep getting and error message that says the files have been blocked. What is the fix for this?

    You can also try out Project Parfait. It's a new experiment from Adobe that’s currently online and free to try out and use.
    It allows easy PSD comps-to code workflows.

  • What charging adapters do I need for Finland and England

    What charging adapters do I need for Finland and England

    Bring the power adapter that you got with your phone - you just need to get an adapter for the plug into the wall. You don't need a converter.
    Airports usually sell the adapters and stores that sell luggage often have them also.
