Parental Controls for iTunes?

is there any way to control the purchasing on itunes, such as restricting purchases when there is on pre-payed itunes gift cards in the itunes account. So that I wouldnt have to worry about family draining my bank account on the apps store and such?

I'm not sure; I can't find anything on the iTunes Store or iPod update information that says whether you have to purchase one update for each iPod touch you own. I would presume so, but it's not spelled out, nor how you'd go about it if you don't have multiple accounts in the iTunes Store. You'll probably want to contact the iTunes Store customer service department and ask:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/browser/
There's no obvious category that fits that sort of question, so choose any topic; perhaps something in the "Purchases" category.
Regards.

    This is a user to user support forum.  We are all iphone users just like you.
    You are not addressing Apple here at all.
    This is an odd way to ask your fellow iphone users for help. Berating oterh users will not help you.
    "it's too fragile"
    No it is not.  i have never damaged one, nor has anyone I know.
    " U loose data when Ur phone is locked"
    No you don't.  Why do you think this?
    "and there is no customer support!!!  "
    Wrong yet again.  Apple has an 800 number and they have many retail stores and they have support articles that you can access using the search bar. Or you can contact them throgh express lane online
    "but I will go back with Blackberry "
    Please do.
    Good ridance

  • How to set up parental controls in itunes

    I am trying to set up parental controls in itunes.  I'm confused, as it says to set it up on the administrator account - but we only have one account.  Please help.

    If it is like mine, try this;  At the top, click on edit and go to preferences.  This will open choices for you and you will see parental controls.  Click on parental controls and then click on the padlock in the lower left hand corner.  The rest is self explanatory.

  • Web Parental Controls for 10.2.8?

    I'm giving my old G3 iBook to my grandkids, but I notice OS 10.2.8 does not have the parental controls for the internet for users like later versions. Unfortunately, this computer barely crawls if I update the system and had to reinstall 10.2.8. I tried to get an older version of BumperCar or MacMinder, but neither are available any longer for the older systems. Any ideas of another program, or any other way I can control web pages the kids visit?? (This machine: late 2001 dual USB white iBook G3-300 with Mac OS 10.2.8) Thanks if you can help.

    Look at some of the apps on this page http://www.pure-mac.com/censor.html
    Also look at NetNanny @ http://www.guardchild.com/netnanny.php

  • Parental Controls for Safari

    Does anyone know of an effective parental control for OX 10.3 for Safari to not allow my teens on inappropriate web sites?

    I can't remember what we did for our child in Panther but what happens when you go to User Accounts in System Preferences and click on Limitations for a User other than the Admin? I know that we were able to create a User Account with more limited access in 10.3.9 for our young child.
    We're about to test out KidsBrowser (because of its graphical interface for young kids) but the same company makes CutX for Safari for teens. (More info at company's site here and you can download a trial version.) CutX will allow you to limit objectionable websites (based on certain keywords and URLs) but it doesn't help with other critical children's internet safety issues such as email and especially chat access and transmission of personal information.
    You can also look at What's New in Tiger—Family Controls which has many more parental control options. You can even enable parental controls from within Safari and limit email access by specific address in the User Preferances pane.
    (Just in case you haven't checked them out already, there's more information about the issue in general at GetNetWise (including information on internet safety products) and NetSmartz.
    I don't envy you - it's a lot simpler doing this for our younger-aged children.
    Good luck!

  • Parental controls for the itouch 2nd generation

    How do you go about setting up parental controls for an itouch?

    I know this is not helpful at all
    But if your kid has half a brain he'll (or she'll) be able to get past parental locks.
    Instead of ignoring and blocking something you think is a problem how about you talk to them about it.
    *Does a load of good.*
    but if your INTENT on doing this, you can easily find the parental control options in the touch's settings. But i assure you they will be able to get past it.

  • Parental Controls for Droid X

    Are there parental controls for the Droid X.  Need to limit what websites children can go to.
    Thanks

    @ Kooshie
    I have verified Content Filters works on Droid and all other Android devices for web browsing.
    The choices for web browsing control are similar to those used for movies:
    Ages 7+
    This material contains little or no violence, no strong language, no drug use, limited alcohol or tobacco use, no modeling content, little or no sexual dialogue and situations and no themes of a mature nature. This content is considered suitable for children age 7 and above and parents can comfortably allow this content to be accessed by children 7 and above unattended.
    Ages 13+
    This material may contain mild coarse language, moderate violence, mildly suggestive lingerie, drug use depicted without being designed to encourage use, some sexuality or suggestive dialogue or themes that may not be appropriate for younger children. This content would be considered suitable for children 13 and above by most parents. Parents are cautioned against allowing children under 13 to access or view this content unattended.
    Ages 17+
    This content may contain one or more of the following: crude language, graphic violence, sexual situations, criminal activity, drug abuse, sexual situations without nudity or themes that may not be appropriate for younger youth. Many parents would consider this material unsuitable for children under 17 and parents are strongly cautioned against allowing children under 17 to access or view this content.
    Filters Off
    Turning off the content filter provides access to all content accessible through your mobile phone, including content that you may consider objectionable due to the ages of your children or your personal desire to avoid certain types of content.
    Please note: Some content may require additional authentication and/or age verification prior to access, download, use or purchase.
    Also note that there is a page to read up on android content filters specifically: http://www.parentalcontrolcenter.com

  • Using Safari Parental Controls for Myspace

    We use Parental Controls for my daughter's MacBook running Leopard 10.5.6. With MySpace, it restricts her at each new page. For instance, mail, photos, her home page etc, we have all manually added so they work OK. BUT, if she gets a new friend, which happens all the time, we have to add those pages as well. It is quite cumbersome and difficult to keep up with. Is there a better way? I would like to just approve the whole site, but it won't let me do that.

    The problem is that a lot of these programs actually don't get the proper ratings. This is a bug. For instance:
    Take a look at the app for OpenTable.  It's rated 4+.  But if you go into the app and click "About" in the menu, then go to "help and Support," it pops you into an embedded web browser that is directed to the Opentable website.  With a little bit of work, you can get the browser to navigate to Google or somewhere else that will give you carte blanche to see any site, including ****. I have watched this happen with family members, and it reveals a serious defect in the parental controls portion of the iOS ratings system.
    Here's how to fix If a browser is embedded in an app, even for reading local HTML, the app gets a 17+.  The only ways to avoid the 17+ rating are: (1) use Safari to open HTML pages/links (which honors parental control settings); or (2) restrict all browser activity to either local files or a very select set of remote web pages on a trusted site.

  • Parental controls in iTunes don't work for TV Shows?

    Using parental controls - i can hide/block Movies & explict music content - but doesn't appear to work for TV Shows marked "Caution" - any ideas?
    Help would be appreciated.
    thanks       

    I raised this in another thread ages ago - indeed it seems you can only include TV Shows marked caution, rather than exclude them. 
    Not much you can do other than raise feedback

  • Parental control of iTunes over multiple users

    Hi I have been able to move my iTunes folder to public which has allowed another user account to access content. However in this other account I have tried to put parental controls in place. On testing I played a 15 rated movie downloaded from iTunes and it played it no problem not even a password request. Is this due to me moving the iTunes folder to public?  Basically I want my daughter to be able to watch only some movies and I don't want to be messing around putting certain films in certain folders and other films in other folders

    I am sorry, I gave you the wrong info.
    This is a link to a info video on setting up Parental Controls ON a MAC computer NOT iOS
    http://www.apple.com/findouthow/mac/#parentalcontrols
    To set up Restrictions in DVD Player:
    Turn on parental control
    To restrict access to DVDs for certain users, such as children, turn on parental control in DVD Player.
    Choose Features > Enable Parental Control, and then enter an administrator name and password.
    To remove parental control, choose Features > Disable Parental Control.
    When parental control is enabled and a DVD is inserted, a computer administrator must authorize a DVD before it can be played. You can also set up authorization for a specific DVD.
    Sorry about the confusion.

  • Parental controls for older child

    I have an older child who is the admin on his Mac. He has his own iTunes acct and I know the pw. He also charges all purchases to his own bank card.  I need to monitor his iTunes usage, to find out what he is watching and reading. I don't care about explicit music. What is the best way for me to do this monitoring ?  I assume there is no other way to utilize any type of parental control that only i can control. Obviously I cannot use itunes parental controls since he is the admin on his Mac. If I decide just to trust him, well, that could fail because he could delete content before I see it.  The only thing i can think to do is to change the bank card back to my own, but is there is free inappropriate content? If there is, will this content show up in any list as having being viewed?  I'm sure you know the type of content I am concerned about. It starts with the letter p.  I realize that he can always change the bank card back selectively, but I've got that part figured out another way.
    Thank you.

  • Parental Controls for iPad

    I just bought the iPad today and my parents want to control me. Does anyone know of built-in Parental Controls, like the "Restrictions" built into my iPod Touch? I don't want to take the cellophane off until this problem is solved. Thanks.

    Restrictions
    You can set restrictions for the use of some applications and for iPod content on iPad. For example, parents can restrict explicit music from being seen on playlists, or turn off YouTube access entirely.
    Turn on restrictions:
    Choose General > Restrictions, then tap Enable Restrictions.
    Enter a four-digit passcode.
    Reenter the passcode.
    Turn off restrictions: Choose General > Restrictions, then enter the passcode. Tap Disable Restrictions, then reenter the passcode.
    If you forget your passcode, you must restore the iPad software using iTunes. See “Updating and Restoring iPad Software” on page 139.
    Set application restrictions: Set the restrictions you want by tapping individual controls on or off. Initially, all controls are on (unrestricted). Tap an item to turn it off and restrict its use.
    Safari is disabled and its icon is removed from the Home screen. You cannot use Safari to browse the web or access web clips. Other third-party applications may allow web browsing even if Safari is disabled.
    YouTube is disabled and its icon is removed from the Home screen.
    The iTunes Store is disabled and its icon is removed from the Home screen. You cannot preview, purchase, or download content.
    The App Store is disabled and its icon is removed from the Home screen. You cannot install applications on iPad.
    Location data isn’t provided to applications.
    Restrict purchases within applications: Turn In-App Purchases off. When enabled, this feature allows you to purchase additional content or features within applications downloaded from the App Store.
    Set content restrictions: Tap Ratings For, then select a country in the list. You can set restrictions using that country’s ratings system for the following categories of content:
     Music & Podcasts  Movies  TV Shows  Apps
    In the United States, for example, to allow only movies rated PG or below, tap Movies, then select PG from the list.
    Note: Not all countries have a rating system.
