Parental Control Netflix app

Suggestion for apple tv 3 netflix ios 6 and up
* Auto - play to next episode and movies
*Airplay netflix from ipad and iphone and macbook
Parental Control Netflix setting feature where users can disable enable the search / genre feature for parenthood with kids
which leaves us with just for kids and instant queue and sign out option
It will be great to bring parental control on apple tv 3 netflix setting to disable some feature like
Search .suggestion for you .recently watched .genres ,tv shows ,new releases
when it disable it will only show instant queue and just for kids and sign out
so one is for just for kids movies and shows and instant queue is what titles we have on queue
love to see parental control for netflix app on v 3 for iOS 6
thank you

Parental Controles, restricted apps...

Hi,
I've set my sons machine up with parental controles and restricted what apps he can run. Everything seemed ok, but one of his apps contains a unix executable within the package. Now whats happening when he uses this allowed app, it trys to use unrar and throws up a message telling him its not allowed. I've tried clicking on the Allways Allow button and giving the admin password but its not working.
I've even tried opening the app package and draging the unrar exe into the allowable apps box, but it just disapears after a reboot. Anyone know if there is a list of apps I can add to manually...?
Many thanks in advance...

I don't have "Tiger", but with "Panther", this issue was most often due to the fact that the problem app did not have either (depending on the type of app) a unique "creator" code, or a 'CFBundleIdentifier' specified in its "Info.plist" file. As alluded to in the article below, the responsibility lies largely with the developer of the programme, although there are some special cases where Apple could improve things on their end.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300842
At this point, you could begin to look in to how to edit the "Info.plist" file, and make modifications to the 'mcx_settings' (in the "NetInfo" database where the settings for "managed" accounts are stored), and this would be necessary for a "Some Limits" account.
However, for a "Simple Finder" account (which doesn't actually limit application use), an easier workaround would be for the "admin" to switch to log in to the account, go to "Finder" > "Switch to Full Finder", and manually add "alias" files for the "missing" applications to a folder accessible to the user. Note that if the user's "~/Library/Managed Items/My Applications" folder is to be used, it will be necessary to use "Get Info" to "lock" the aliases since the contents of that folder are determined by the contents of 'mcx_settings' and any alias not listed would be deleted during the next login unless it is locked.

Parental Control: Allowed apps now ask for password

Hello,
Mac OS 10.7.2.
I have set up parental controls on my kids' accounts and I have turned on the restrict applications setting.
I have placed check box next to each app they are allowed to use, Mail, iTunes, specific games etc.
I have un-checked a few specific apps, TurboTax, etc, that they don't need access to.
When they log in and try to use their allowed applications, Mail, Safari, etc, it is asking them for an admin password on everything they are trying to open, even though the apps are checked on the 'allowed' application list.
Is this normal?? I thought it should only ask for a password on apps that are NOT on the allowed list..

Hello, I wondered if you got through to Microsoft and they managed to change your parental control options? I am having the same problem as you with downloading apps on my son's phone - need parental control, but it doesn't let me carry it out comes out with a error code and says contact support.
I tried to contact Microsoft but they put me on hold - sending my call to America and India (was on hold for an hour or so). I have logged a complaint and emailed Microsoft but still nobody gets back to me.
So currently have a phone for my son but he cannot download apps. Dont want to reinstall as he will have to change all his details on Xbox and all his avitars etc (friends) - we want to keep his same email address.
Driving me crazy and Microsoft not coming forward with any advice. All I want to do is adjust my parental control to let my son download apps.
Appreciate any help please. Thank You

Apps are not showing up with parental controls

I recently purchased Spellboard from the Mac App Store to help my son with his spelling quizes. I have parental controls set up for him and the app does not show up in his applications folder. I have it selected in parental controls, the app is rated for 4+ and I have the permissions set to 12+. The app shows up and works fine under mine and my wifes logins which are set to admin. I can't figure this out. Any other applications we select that ARE NOT Mac app store purchased show up fine when selected for him. Anyone else run into this problem? Any fix?

Just to clarify, there are no app store purchases that will show up when selected for his account managed with parental controls.

Parental Controls causing login to hang

Parental Controls in Leopard - trouble.
I have an iMac G5 (ambient light sensor), 1.8Ghz, 2GB RAM. Previously ran Parental Controls, having one managed account, plus other unmanaged and admin accounts.
I prepared for Leopard upgrade: disabled and stopped all Tiger Parental Controls. Upgraded "in place" to Leopard, applied Parental Controls (all apps allowed, only a whitelist of web sites applied), and BOOM! the managed account gets past login window, but then the beach ball spins,... and spins,..
I took a look at the Console and see that multiple REQUIRED services are terminating with "Permission denied", then bailing and respawning, ad infinitum. Problems are:
ATSServer (Font manager),
pboard (copy & paste manager), and most importantly (I think) is:
UserEventAgent, for allowing system and user events to be handled.
Anyway, infinite loop... the managed user never gets a Desktop. I have gone to 10.5.1, and all other updates. I have disabled File Sharing. I have removed all from the Spotlight list. I have used Disk Utility to Repair File Permissions, a couple of times, actually. All with no effect.
Summary: Turning OFF Parental Controls, the user account gets to the Desktop - all is well; I turn ON Parental Controls and the beachball spins until hard reboot.
Has anybody had it this bad? Why would I think Archive & Install would be any better?
I will paste from the system.log, if it would help. Insight? Observations?

Hi Ben
My brand new iMac had a kernel panic the day after it arrived. I went through a long checking procedure which revealed nothing. Only then did I think to read the panic log, not expecting to see any words that meant much. Lo and behold - Parental Controls clearly cited as the culprit!
Because my kids complained that they could not access loads of sites that they always used to (even with Intego's Content Barrier in use on my older mac) I switched off the 'restrict access to adult sites' option but left the time restrictions on. There has not been a repeat of the kernel panic since, although I didn't realise the connection at the time.
Maybe give that a try, assuming you have had that option switched on when you had the crashes?
At this point, I don't think an A&I is going to help much.
Either way, I'm going to feedback to Apple and maybe it will get fixed in the next update.

Sky Movies lock out regardless of parental control set up

I can appreciate parental controls when you have a child and you want to limit their viewing of certain movies. However, seeing as it is just my wife and I in our house, I have deactivated the parental controls because we have no use for them, which is great cause I can download movies on demand without the need to enter the four digit pin every time. To my surprise though, even with parental controls switched off, if I go to the live showing of the movie on the sky movie channels, I have to enter my pin every time I change channels. I've been told this is a legal thing from Ofcom and that's fair enough... but what surprises me more is, while you lock the sky movie channels, you can still access babestation and the rest of the "dating and chat lines" including, "Grannies on the pull" without any need to enter your pin and this is on a Saturday at 1 oclock in the afternoon. So if I had a kid, what would I rather him accidently coming across... a movie such as Die Hard which is complete fiction or a scantilly clad woman advertizing her "services" I think I know what I would rather have.

Sometimes "Parental Controls" can be subject to glitches, so just to clarify, are you saying that while logged in to the "admin" account and selecting that user in "System Preferences" > "Accounts" you are unable to use "Parental Controls" > "Finder.app & System" > "Applications" to select "Safari.app", or that you are selecting it but the alias is not appearing in the user's "My Applications" folder? This is a fairly common problem with non-Apple apps and "Classic" apps, but I don't think it happens very often with OS X Apple apps...
As a workaround, you can add your own alias by logging in to the "simplified" account, switching to "Full Finder" and opening two "Finder" windows - one showing "/Applications" and the other showing the user's "~/Library/Managed Items/My Applications" folder. Drag "Safari.app" to the "My Applications" folder while holding down the "command" (⌘) and "option" (⌥) keys (dragging with these modifiers causes an "alias" to be created at the destination, provided that the destination is "writable" by the user performing the operation). However, due to the way "Simple Finder" works, it will be necessary to "lock" the alias file using "Get Info", or else the alias will be deleted during the next login.
Also, note that unlike a "Some Limits" account, "Simple Finder" does not restrict application use so removing "Firefox" from "My Applications" will only make it inconvenient to use. Other means will be necessary to actually prevent its use, for example something "permissions" based like changing it's permissions or moving it somewhere to which the user doesn't have access. But it should also be noted that the restrictions on site access placed on Safari don't work very well in any case so they could just download a new copy...

How do I allow parental controlled users to access third party apps on the admin account?

I just set my son up with a separate parental controlled user account and he can't seem to access some third party games that we installed for him under my admin account. He has saved progress on these games that we don't want to lose, so I don't want to reinstall them. I checked them off as allowed apps, but when he tries to play- the game icon shows up in the doc then changes to the updater icon and they won't run. I've searched for answers to this question, but can't seem to find any. Please help? My son and I would be very grateful!

I put parent control on my sons apps so he cant download 17 apps, but I just found out if he restores his phone in itunes he can download an app then go back and back it up. Is there a way I can black restore on Itunes?

I put Parents Control on my sons apps so he cant download 17+ apps, but I just found out if he goes on itunes he can restore his phone to orginal settings which wont have parent control on it. Then when ever he wants he cant backup his phone so it looks like nothing ever happened. Is there a way I can bloack restore on itunes?

You can't block restoring in iTunes, but any restrictions you put on the phone are included in the iPhone backup, thus if your son restores from backup, he will restore any restrictions you put on the phone. His only choice, to completely remove restrictions, is to restore as a new device. You can also set parental controls in iTunes: iTunes>Preferences>Parental.

Mac App Store - page is inaccessible due to your Parental Control

Whenever I start the app store I get the following message on the Featured, Top Charts, and Purchased tabs.
defaultButtonok message This page is inaccessible due to your Parental Control settings. okButtonStringOK
If I try to sign in the wheel next to the account just spins and spins... It never connects. The Apple ID and PW are confirmed good in all the other apple apps and sites.
I am logged in with an administrator account - so no parental controls.
All parental controls are disabled in iTunes
It did not work in 10.6.6 or 10.6.7

Sorry let me be more clear...
No parental controls are enabled on the system preferences as there are no accounts that are not administrators.
In iTunes - no parental controls either.
The iTunes account works without fail.

Parental Controls app settings keep changing on their own

I manage a lab and have setup Parental Controls to allow certain apps. However, later students will launch an app. that I have enabled and get the dialog box saying it isn't allowed. I go back and check parental controls for that computer and the app is now unchecked.
1) how can I keep this from happening?
2) is there a preferences file somewhere that I can save and then just upload from time to time?
Thanks,
Craig

I suspect your students are smarter than you think they are
Be sure nobody knows the admin password. Change it to be sure and make sure nobody is looking.
Be sure nobody has a Leopard DVD handy.
Be sure all users are non-admin types.
Check all 3rd party apps installed on the machines.
You can also check the console logs on the machines to see how and when the change occurred.

The firefox app is on my daughter's iPhone...how do we set parental controls so she can't be exposed to innappropriate content?

I read something about settings parental controls on our computer for the FireFox browser....but she downloaded it directly to her iPhone. Do I have to open the browser from there in order to turn on a filter of some type? I want to protect her from all the dangerous material that is rampant on the internet today. Thanks

There is no mobile Firefox for any iOS devices due to Apples restrictions on what browser and JavaScript engines can be used.
The only thing Mozilla had was a app in past called Firefox Home which allowed you to sync settings like bookmarks from Firefox to the iOS device.
Android is currently the only mobile OS supported.
So whatever you have on iPhone is not Firefox and just a shell or something for Safari.

Parental Controls(Enable Restrictions) and installing apps through ITunes store (PC)

Through Parental control(Restrictions), the iTunes Store and Installing apps can be disabled on iPhone. Now is this feature can prevent apps getting installed if Apps are purchased through iTunes Store in PC and synced with iTunes? Is it possible to disable syncing with iTunes?

So you are saying that, even if there is Restrictions, with iTunes and Installing apps disabled, applications can be purchased through iTunes in PC and can be synced with iPhone and get the applications installed. Is that a correcy assumption?

Installed Parental Controls on MBP 10.7.5. Now it's unusable (exc admin's acct). Constant message pops up- "You don't have permission to use (whatev) app." U can click: ok, always allow, allow once, but no matter what, message continues and u can't work

Hi,
I installed Parental Controls on our MacBookPro 10.7.5. Now it's unusable (except for my admin's acct). Constant messages keep popping up that say "You don't have permission to use (whatever) application." You have the option to click: ok, always allow, or allow once, but no matter what you select, the messages keep popping up and prevent you from working. I have searched these forums, and all I have found is that you are supposed to uninstall the application (Spotify, dashboard, etc). Deinstalling every app is not a solution.
If the parental controls just don't work - and frankly I'm tired of wasting all this time trying to fix the bugs - can someone recommend a program that will restrict certain user accounts to any websites I haven't specified?
Thanks for any help or advice.

Thanks Bob for that very fast reply!
But neither "Modifying hal configuration" nor "Using the Desktop Environment settings" (xfce) worked. So I tried the "I don't want this crap, how do I turn it off?" solution and well it works
Maybe I turn it back on in a month or so.. but for now i'm fine with no hot plugging but a working keyboard...
Thanks and Bye!
