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.

  • If I were to set up Parental Controls for the only user on a MacBook, would I need to create another, separate account?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    It is not possible to set parental control on the administrator account, so you have two choices: create a new user account to apply parental control or use the Guest user for that. You can set parental control in System Preferences -> Parental Control

  • Warrenty Question: Itouch 2nd Generation

    Back in November 2008, I bought the Itouch 2nd Generation for $399.99 and I also bought with it a two year warranty. Now two years later i noticed the receipt but i bought the Itouch on 11/28/08 so it ends today, or since its 12:15 now, yesterday. Now my question is i heard that you can extend warranties after you got it in the first place so I'm wondering if i can still get my warranty extended and if so would i be able to exchange my now probably discontinued 2nd generation itouch for the 4th generation one?

    BTW, even if it was still in effect, there would have to be something wrong with it, and it would be sent out for Rapid Exchange, which gets you a refurb in 7-10 business days. The refurb would be a 2G.

  • 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 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

  • Can anybody tell me what they think a fair replacement for insurance purposes would be for an old 2nd generation nano mini ipod?

    For insurance purposes, can anybody tell me what they think a fair replacement would be for the old 2nd generation 8GB nano mini ipod would be?

    Alex,
    I would suggest looking around on eBay to see what others are selling 2G 8 GB iPod Minis for.  Anything within the range of what you find there should work.

  • How to get Itouch 2nd generation to connect to Itunes.

    I am giving my Itouch 2nd generation to my daughter.  I haven't used it in a couple of years.  I did a complete reset to erase all of the content.  Upon finishing the reset an icon appeared on the screen to connect to Itunes.  I have tried connecting to Itunes to finish the restart but Itunes won't even recongnize that it is connected.  I have tried several of the online troubleshooting ideas with no success. 
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance

    See:

    Try on another computer to help determine if you have an iPod or computer problem.

    If you want to transfer app dat you need to restore the new iPod from the backup of the old iPod.  Restoring from backup will result in your new iPod being just like your old iPOd except you will have to reenter keychain items like passwords since those only get restore to the same device upon a restore.

  • Best parent controls for iPads and iMac running on BT Home Hub

    Hi,
    Despite the great sounds coming from the big ISPs about parental controls, they're determined to make a really simple concept absolutely impossible.
    Firstly, I'm not trying to lock-down my family's access to the net, but I have two boys aged around ten, and being boys they're inquisitive, so are probably getting closer to stumbling across some seriously dodgy content... And I want to try to prevent that... It should not be hard. If I could limit the times they were online, just if browsing gets out of hand (they're kids remember) that would be a handy option as well.
    So on to the technical details... We have a standard BT broadband account that comes into a new BT Home Hub. This is currently our WiFi point. We run a laptop, two ipads, iphones and an ipod touch on Wifi, and have a desktop ethernet'd to the Home Hub. BT offer a downlaodable Family Protection package that allows user accounts to be configured, but this does not appear to work on an iPad or Touch.
    Very shortly, we're about to retire the PCs from family life and install an iMac. So we're getting into a properly Mac environment. I was also considering installing a Time Capsule for back-ups and had considered stringing this in series on the Home Hub, then networking all of the Apple devices off of the Time Capsule.
    Ideally, the controls would be at a us level, or at least by device. I've come across some App options, but this seems like an unecessary layer of proprietary complexity.
    So how Do we deploy parental controls? The simplest option, that BT have failed to realise, would be a network solution that filters everything coming into the house and stops it before it even hits the Home Hub - but that doesn't appear to be an option.
    So what options do we have? Any ideas? I had heard suggestions that I could manage user control via the Time Capsule, but that's proving hard to confirm.
    Happy to supply any further information to help with this query.
    In summary, how do I stop **** getting onto my boys' iPads/Touchs... Should be simple????
    Cheers, Mombee.

    Sorry, but the Apple routers do have any type of parental controls on them.
    If you have not already done so, you might want to take a look at the parental control options offered by OpenDNS.

  • I have the ishuffle 2nd generation. When I plug in, itunes recognizes it but it will not charge. The green light flashes a few times but then goes out. I'm not sure if the battery is dead or if something else can be done. Any advice?

    I have the ishuffle 2nd generation. When I plug it it, itunes recognizes it but the light flashes green a few times and then stops. It is not charging. Is the battery dead or can something else be wrong? Any advice??

    To rule out a problem with the shuffle's onboard software, I would try a Restore on the shuffle using iTunes.  The Restore button is on the shuffle's Settings screen in iTunes.  This will erase the shuffle, reinstall its software, and set it to default settings.
    If that does not help, you should do a test to confirm there is not a problem on the USB port, such as lack of power to operate the iPod and charge it battery.  Shut down (power off) the computer and disconnect all USB devices including hub, except for standard keyboard and mouse (if normally used).  If the computer is a laptop, connect its power adapter (so that it's not running on battery power).  Do this to reset the shuffle
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1655
    Start up computer, run iTunes, and connect shuffle to a direct USB port on the computer.
    If that does not help, it is more likely that the problem is a hardware problem on the shuffle, such as the battery.

  • 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 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.

  • Parental controls for web surfing?

    I'm considering whether to get an Ipod Touch for my 12-year-old, but I'm concerned about the access to the Web that it allows. Is there a way for me to install some sort of "parental controls" onto the web browser? (I must say - this Apple site is unbelievably unhelpful for folks who aren't already owners of its products.) Thanks for any info you can offer!

    Right now, you can restrict Safari completely without affecting the other apps. Take a look at the Manual page 95.
    There may be an 3rd party App available soon to enable filtering. See more here: http://www.mobicip.com/
