Parental Controls not working in Mavericks

Browsed related posts & didn’t find an answer.
“Kids” iMac is a 24” mid 2007. Was running Snow Leopard with Parental Controls enabled and working 100% for 3 years.
I never disturbed it because it was working fine for them.
Recently had to upgrade it to Mavericks to run TurboTax (my wife’s account is also on that machine).
Now the Parental Controls don’t work. Timer doesn’t work & all logs are blank. When asking for website permission, it never remembers after I allow it.
I am really frustrated with this.
My iMac is a 24” 2009, also running Mavericks. I made a dummy managed account, and it functions properly.
I’ve gone through the usual steps: turned Parental Controls off/on, restarted, repaired permissions, etc.
I did make a dummy account on the kids’ machine as well, and it worked one time, but just the one time.
Is there a fix, or an update or anything?
Thanks in advance

I upgraded my Mac Pro from Mavericks to Yosemite and am having lots of problems with the Parental Controls settings with Yosemite. By far, it was been the worst Parental Controls experience I have ever had.
I have had to turn off the time limit hours for my kids accounts, as that just aggravates the time limiting features on the OS.
The general time limits for say 1.5 hours a day seem to work, except when I try to extend the time. When I extend the time, the OS seems to accept the modification, but as soon as the account is up and running, it logs them out immediately, and I have to do it again.
I also had to grant access to run all applications on the machine, as I couldn't just grant access to say the Arduino IDE, and have all of it's sub programs be granted automatically. When I dump the settings in XML format, it seems like those sub programs are on the Ok list, but the OS keeps putting up alerts if I want to allow access or not, and it's just too painful to actually use anymore.
It would be nice to get some comments from Apple that they are aware of the issues people are running into, and they are trying to fix them. Everyday there's some other quirk we're running into where I need to turn off some setting I used to have on for my kids.

Re: Parental Control not Working

FROM A VERY ANNOYED NEW CUSTOMER. THIS IS MY LAST RESORT BEFORE I CANCEL WHAT APPEARS TO BE A RUBBISH 'PARENTAL CONTROL' SERVICE...
Brand new BT Infinity 2 Service installed on Wed 28th Jan. On Fri 30th Jan set router up... logged into bt.com/mybt... first screen showed 'Do you want Parental Controls' clicked 'Yes please'. Responding rotating circle stating 'ACTIVATING'. After a few seconds get standard error message saying 'Sorry, we haven't been able to activate your BT Parental Controls.'
I reported this on Fri 29th Jan... and now it's Thur 5th Feb and still no resolution. After numerous phone calls to BT Broadband Help and 'Parental Controls' support, with 5 promises that staff will call me back by a specified time/date (5 of 7 failed to do so)... and now escalated to level 3 issue... it is still not working.
Reading e-mails on this forum... looks like the service is fundamentally faulty.
Please advise how you can fix this within 24hrs MAX... or we will cancel our contract on basis BT have failed to provide the services contracted.
Many thanks for all assistance you can render.
Solved!

BT Parental Controls not working?

We use custom filters on our online parental controls, however if I now try and change filters or add an allowed site or block a site, I get a message on screen saying "checking account information" and I get re-directed to MyBT. I am not sure why this is happening, can anyone help please? Thanks.

Hi I posted this late last night can any one help please? thanks.

Parental Controls Not Consistently Working (Linksyssmartwifi) on EA6500

Hello,
I have a Linksys EA6500 with the lastest firmware (1.1.28.147876). I have been having lots of problems getting the parental controls to work properly on this router. I use the Linksys Smart Wifi website as well as directly access the control panel through the router (192.168.1.1).
My kids like to spend too much time on youtube, so i setup the parental controls so that their devices are blocked from youtube at all times. However sometimes I come home and find that they are able to access youtube without any problems. When logging into Linksyssmartwifi.com I see that the parental controls are "off". For some reason the parental controls sometimes turn themselves "off". I sometimes notice this when I have the SmartWifi app also running on my iPhone. Does the Smartwifi system automatically sync? Do I need to logout of the app on my phone before the parental blocking takes effect? Sometimes I notice that my kids laptop does not show up on "Device List" on the smartwifi menu, even though it is clearly connected to the same network via Wifi.
This is driving me nuts. The Smartwifi software is buggy and sometimes works, and sometimes doesn't. The firmware is up to date, but i've been having problems with this router ever since I bought it (about 6 months ago). It keeps inconsistently applying the parental controls.
The Linksyssmartwifi feature and being able to apply parental controls from anywhere in the world seems to be a great idea. But the experience that I've had so far has been incredibly inconsistent. Sometimes the Parental controls work, sometimes they don't. Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

If that's the case, it has a big possibility that your son's computer is using a Static IP Address. I forgot to include the steps on how to set Static IP Address on the computer in my previous post. But here it is: http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=aa7f7eb572b6404daf6413c2a643b04a_KBXXX_EN_v1.xml&p...
If your son's computer is using a Static IP Address, you will be able to see it on the Device List even if it is on the router's network.
For Static IP assignment, why not just use the Linksys router's DHCP reservation option to associate the device MAC address with a Static IP? That's what I do to get Static IPs for some of my my devices on my Linksys EA4500 router.
The above linked article talks about changing the TCP/IP settings in the OS to get a Static IP.
Also, I use the EA4500's (Cloud firmware) Parental Controls to prevent access from certain devices at certain times of the day. That mechanism has never flaked out on me, and has never turned itself OFF unless I turn it OFF.

SSRS 2008 R2 Calendar Control not working and report not refreshing on pressing enter in Chrome.

SSRS reports are always best viewed in IE and the report result what you see in IE always will not be same and consistent in thirdy party browswers.
So consider using IE as workaround.

HT3669 HP ENVY 4500 e-All-in-One Version 3.2.1 does not work on iMac 20-inch, Mid 2007. Only recognizes scanner not USB printer.

HP ENVY 4500 e-All-in-One Version 3.2.1 does not work on iMac 20-inch, Mid 2007. Only recognizes scanner not USB printer.
I would like to print via the USB connection instead of wireless (the wireless does work, and the scanner works via USB).
I tried connecting the printer directly (via USB) to my MacBook Pro laptop and it worked just fine.
How can I make this printer work on my iMac?
I spent 4 hours on the phone with HP and we did every combination of installation of drivers ad nausum and their bottom line is that it is a Mac problem.
Any help would be appreciated. Will be sending this printer back to Amazon if I can't make it work on the USB.
I am open to questions or suggestions
Thanks,
Chet

After 4 hours on the phone with HP and another hour with Apple (Mavericks support) no real solution other than check everything (removed everything from Login Items, removed all HP software anywhere in the system reboot, reinstall printer) then when nothing worked for the 4500, did an OS Reinstall (boot with CMD+R).
The Mavericks support group did open an incident (# 542875311) and I will update it when I figure out how to find it on the system.
My feel is that the base problem is that somewhere between the HP-Inkjet-SW-OSX-Mavericks_v12.34.49-2 package and the Apple HP Printer software in the Library (version 2.16.1) the app for printing via the USP Port just does not get installed for the mid 2007 20 inch iMac. The scanner is recognized on the USB Port and the Printer works fine on Wi-Fi. I have too many devices to burden my home network with anothe device. Also, every time I put any HP Printer on Wi-Fi, my router (Netgear N600 WNDR3400 running 12 to 20 devices depending on who is home) gets wonky (but that's anothe story...).
Additionally, when I attach the HP Envy 4500 to my MacBook Pro (2010) it works perfect - print and scan via the USB prot and both functions show in the System Preferences - Printers and Scanners just as expected and just as the 3050 does.

Hi. The issue is a level or two above JDBC. I suggest
opening an official support case. It's probably a
WLW issue.

Sound control not working on my blue tooth keyboard

sound control not working with my bluetooth keyboard

UAVPilot,
Thank you for the information. I do show that the device and car are capable of this function. I do not show any reason you should not be hearing the notifications. One thing you will want to check is that the sound for both your notifications and media are turned up. Also you can look into going into Settings>Apps>S voice Drive Mode> Clear Cache. This should clear any possible bugs in the application. Please keep us updated on this and we can check on other options.
Thank you,

If you only restored from backup, restore to factory defaults/new iPod. If you then still have the problem it is likely a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Beats audio controls not working

Using my beats headphones this morning with my MacBook Air and iTunes. Everything is up to date. Although today now the audio controls on the cord won't work. Normally I can pause iTunes or control the volume. I do this multiple times a day but no go today.
Is this another 10.10.2 bug? Illustrator 2014 CC no longer works properly with my external monitor. I'm getting frustrated with all these bugs.
Also, in my 'About This Mac' info window, it shows my OS as "135122" instead of "Mac OS X" - I'm sure that's not normal.
Any thoughts, anyone?

I did a reboot and repaired permissions, which solved the beats headphones controls not working.
Still concerned about the Mac OS version display though. Curious to know if anyone else has that as well.

Apple maps not working on iMac

apple maps not working on iMac the little thing just keeps turning

Do a backup.
Quit the application.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.Maps.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Restart the computer, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.
