Parental controls: Can I change weekend days?

Where I live, the weekend days are Thursday and Friday.

I would go with Ian on comments about Parental Controls, but with a large part of the World with these days as weekends, it might be useful to send feedback to Apple and suggest a way to use these days as alternatives.

My iphone 4 is synced to my parents computer, can I change this to sync my iphone with my laptop?If so, how?

Plug it into your computer and sync.
Since iphone will sync with only one computer at a time, your content will be erased and replaced with coneetent from your computer, so make sure you copy everything from your parents computer to yours first.

When creating iphoto calender can you change the days to Sunday to Saturday
Not Monday to sunday

Haven't tried this but go into the System/Language & Text/Region preference pane and change the First day of the week to what you want. Reboot, launch iPhoto and see if that changes the calendar.

Can't change the day, week, month display in Google Calendar

For the past week I haven't been able to change the display of Google Calendar. My default display is a month and that loads just fine. The buttons to change it to the next month, or to one day or one week don't work. Everything else works fine. I can add and edit events. I just upgraded to Firefox 17, but it was happening with Firefox 16.0.2 also. My Google calendar works fine in ME.

Can I change the day view in my calendar

I've just done the most recent iPhone update and now when I look at the day view on my calendar it only shows the hour and not the minutes, i.e. it shows 4 rather that 4:00pm.
I don't like this view. If I go to a day where I have no appointments scheduled I have to scroll up or down to see if it's am or pm.
Is there anyway I can set my calendar to show the day view with hours and minutes??
Thanks

There doesn't appear to be any setting where you can change that. You may want to make the suggestion to Apple at http://www.apple.com/feedback/

Can I change the day/date format from US (month day year) to UK (date month year)?

When I view databases through Firefox, the date/day format is set at month, day, year (US style), whereas I need day, month, year, I work in the UK and the "wrong" format is VERY confusing and could lead to errors/mistakes. IE has that format but I don't want to revert to using that.

Gingerbread Man, thank you VERY much!! I followed your instructions and it works perfectly. I am a happy person :-))

Safari can't connect to server with parental controls on

I have one user with admin rights and one user plus guest with parental controls turned on. Recently when parental controls are turned on, I get 'safari can't connect to server' error. When I turn parental controls off again I can connect to the internet again. Why is this?

Hi and welcome....
Unfortunately, Parental Controls can only be enabled on a non admin account.
See if there's a proxy set up for Safari. From the Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Advanced tab. Click "Change Settings" next to: Proxies.
That will launch System Preferences / Network - Proxies.
If there are any boxes checked under: Select a protocol to configure, deselect the box then click Ok.
Quit Safari (Command + Q) then relaunch Safari.
See if Safari can connect in a parental controlled user account.

Safari "Can't connect to server" with parental controls enabled

Have parental controls gone mad in Mountain Lion?

I have two children each with separate accounts, for 2 years the settings have been to automatically restrict web sites according to the content rules set by Apple. Its worked brilliantly with nominal customization! Fab - Until Moutain Lion.
The settings I think remain the same. However, every website the kids try to use through Chrome or Safari puts a block on it asking for an administrator password as the computer is trying to access a secure website which is restricted. - I didn't restrict it (I don't think) so how can I stop it happening.
It is also happening with other applications such as Skype.
The web has become unusable for ordinary school work for both children, I need to resolve this without turning off parental controls - can anyone help please?

It's funny that you should mention the two issues together because they are entirely related.
The problem affects mostly user accounts that were created in "Panther" or "Tiger" before upgrading to "Leopard". When the users and groups were converted from "NetInfo" to "DirectoryService", the group records were imported as-is, but various parts of the Leopard system apparently aren't happy with the old format.
Try fixing the "managed" user's primary group's record by adding a 'RealName' property, and possibly add the user explicitly to 'GroupMembership', after which the user should be able to access the internet.
The same change should also cause "Get Info" to properly display their "group"

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...

Parental Controls Time Limits Problem

I've set the time limits parameters for my two kids so they don't spend all their time on the computer (they watch the TV instead ... sigh.
One of them is fine and says they can log in at 07:00 (not teenagers just yet), but the other says they can log in at 00:00 even though the settings are the same in Parental Controls.
A coupe of days ago, it was the other way around. I repaired permissions and rebooted which seemed to work then, but it hasn't done this time.
My iMac time is correct. Anyone got any ideas?

Are you referring to the situation where all the time has been used up for a particular day? It will say user cannot login until midnight, which is I think the way it refers to cannot login until tomorrow, and the correct login time will appear once it is tomorrow.
This is how it behaves on both of mine.

Using e-mail with parental controls

Is there a way to get the parental controls to allow my daughter to access her college e-mail and still have the adult website filtered? My daughter is starting college classes (at 14 yrs. old). The classes are set up for kids are above average achievers to help them get a head start in college. When she tries to access the college e-mail, there is an error message that says it is not a secure connection. We fixed this problem in the past with her aol mail by setting up the mail program on the MAC. We did allow her to have her own gmail address, thats another story, but she can access it without using the MAC email program.
Is it possible to set up the MAC to let her have access to the college mail and still filter the internet. The last time I had to select "Allow unrestricted access to the internet" under "content" to let her access her college e-mail account. How is it possible for her to access her gmail account without using the MAC's e-mail program?

You know, I expected an answer like; "Your parental control can't be used like that. Its just a program, so it will try to block adult sites, or block unsecure connections. Like AOL mail for example. If you want her to access the school mail, then you'll just have to allow unrestricted access to the web. You can still monitor her web browsing. As for gmail, some email sites are able to be accessed even with the parental controls turned on."
I even expected some arrogant replies like Carolyn's. Telling me how to access gmail.
Thanks for nothing!

Wifi/dsl router parental control

I am looking for a wifi/dsl router that will allow parental control for more than 5 users. i want to limit people to one website. if i have to have a separate dsl modem that is all right but would prefer an all in one solution.

As far as I know, the wireless gateways such as ADSL modem/routers for Linksys can set up Parental Control up to 5 devices only and can block up to 8 URLs either through the web-based set up page or through the Cisco Connect software. If suggest, you get an EA series router and install Smart Wifi firmware because you can enable Parental Control and limit URLs for more than 5 devices. So you will need a separate modem then to set it up for internet connection. You refer to the articles below also I found from the knowledge base site of Linksys.
Setting up parental controls to block specific websites
http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?pid=80&vw=1&articleid=25495
Parental Controls can be set up for a total of five (5) computers or devices and can block up to eight (8) URLs only.

How many sites can be blocked per device in the Block specific sites of the Parental Controls feature at most?
You will be able to block up to 10 sites per device.

The parental control function on my Verizon MI424WR Router does not work

I created few rules on the Parental Control section of my MI424WR Router admin page but it still allows internet access.
Does this router completely shut down the internet access, lets say if I set it 10pm-12am Disable connection? I read someone's comment on another post, MI424WR is actually cuts down the bandwidth into 1/2, but not completely shut down the connection. Is this true? If so this is useless....

Parental controls can block all access. The bandwidth reduction info is wrong.
