Parental Controls Stops Ipad and TV connecting to ...

I set up parental controls as teeenages son now has a lap top in his room but now the only thinh that can connect to the interenet is my laptop and our phones.
I deleted parental controls but the tv (well the roku box) and the ipad still can't connect.   The ipad redirects to a BT page saying parental controls are blocking this page (google) . The roku box just gives us an error.
I am some what baffled by the talk of DNS and the only info i can find is for a mac computer not a device.
Can anyone help me get things working ?  Also is there anything i can just install on his laptop that will be simpilar than this carry on ?  (it a PC laptop if its important )
Thanks

Provided that the iPad was using the normal automatic network settings, and you had not modified them, and Smart Setup was turned off, then Parental Controls would not have stopped it working.

  • 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.

    The name of this technology - WDS.
    HP Laser JET 1536 dnf MFP connect to one of this routers (copper).
    Second device (my NETBOOK) connect to second router (WiFi).
    I have good communication between NETBOOK and HP Laser JET 1536 dnf MFP via WiFI-bridge.
    In usual case NETBOOK can find (and can Ping) network printer and make a print some files.
    But my Ipad or Iphone can't find HP Laser JET 1536 dnf MFP (using Eprint). Ipad and iphone connect
    to router across WiFi.
    Please, help!

    Are you using the ePrint Mobile App, the ePrint Printer Control App, or just trying to send an email to the printer's ePrint email address?

  • Can I share my internet with my Ipad and simultaneously connect to a airport express that I use to remotely connect speakers?

    Can I share my internet from my Imac with my Ipad and simultaneously connect to a airport express that I use to remotely to connect speakers?
    The big problem that I'm having is that when internet sharing via the airport I can not simultaneously connect with my airport express.  It would be great to be able to share internet from my Imac so I can be using my Ipad and at the sametime have my wife use the airport express to stream music in a different room. It would be awesome to be able to have the ability to do both. Does anybody know how?

    If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) on your account then the steps on this page will give you a reset link on your account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6170
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions) then you will need to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps on this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5620
    Or, if it's available in your country, you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

    I have a iPad and I connect it to my tv through hdmi but would like the sound to come out through the headphone socket, can I make this happen.

    Go to System Preferences>Sound>Output  and make sure that you selected the right output. I think if yo use HDMI you might not be abe to select another output.

  • Just bought my ipad and cant connect to my home wifi. Any ideas?

    Just bought my ipad and cant connect to my home wifi trying to do initial set up.
    My wifi is working as my macbook runs off it..any ideas?

    1. Turn router off for 30 seconds and on again, this will refresh the IP address of the iPad.
    2. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    3. Try changing router security e.g. WEP/WPA/WPA2
    4. Have you updated router firmware?

  • Safari has stopped working properly since upgrading to Mountain Lion.  Have parental controls in place and it will not add websites.  Also short cuts at top of tabs now all messed up!

    Since upgrading to mountain lion the other day (from lion) safari has not been working properly.  I have parental controls in place but seem unable to add new web pages to allowed list - wasn't expecting to have to anyway - these are webpages that were working perfectly well on safari prior to upgrade.  Also the shortcuts above the tabs on safari are all now messed up.
    Any advice on how to fix - I am not a computer expert so keep it simple please!
    In the meantime I am having to use Firefox.
    Thanks

  • Ipad and iphone connect launches iphoto

    Since updating to iOS 8, whenever I connect my iPhone or iPad to my MBP (running Yosemite), iPhoto launches. I want to stop this happening.
    iPhoto preferences are set to 'Connecting camera launches no application'.
    I can find no relevant setting in iTunes.
    Any suggestions?

    I had already turned it off in iPhoto, but iPhoto still launched.
    The linked article said this should have fixed it, but it also pointed to a setting in the 'Image Capture' app (which I had forgotten even existed!) to turnoff iPhoto launch for specific devices.  Doing this for both my iPad and iPhone fixed the problem. 
    Thanks!

  • 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 video -iPad Mini

    Any way to control access to movies via the video app?
    Looking to control what can be seen and can't find it in itunes or in the restrictions area of the iPad mini
    Thanks in advance.

    Yes, the iPad mini comes with a good number of parental controls, officially called 'Restrictions'. You can turn off the App Store, allow or disallow the App Store, set content restrictions on iTunes, etc. See this tutorial for step-by-step instructions:
    How To Setup Parental Controls On The iPad
    You could also turn off Safari and setup a Safe Browser (like the one from Mobicip) that would allow you to set rules for internet usage, including the ability to set time limits. Hope this helps.

    Due to a scam invading my computer recently, I cannot block these site in Parental Controls.  This feature locks immediately and I must use Force Quit to close.  Any ideas as to how to unlock Parental Controls?  The two scams appear to be gone as I can now use Safari.

  • Parental Controls - Set up and added admin as controlled...

    Now I can't do anything.
    I was trying to set up parental controls for my daughter. I went to "Parental Controls" and clicked the lock.
    Then I went to add an account and selected my admin account by mistake. Typed in the password and now my admin account is 'managed'. When I go to accounts to do anything, I can't unlock the lock as it's managed and I can't unlock Parental Controls, as it needs an admin password.
    What's up with this and how do I fix it?
    Thanks

    Luckily I did have another admin account. I couldn't remember the pasword, but was able to reset it via the install disk.
    Perhaps this wouldn't have happened without another admin account? I'm not sure, but it was certainly NOT helpful to be allowed to lock the running admin / user out of admin status. That shouldn't happen.

  • 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?

  • Safari can't open a specific web page when parental controls are enabled and don't give access to modify the dock.

    iMac running mountain lion with all updates applied.
    I (my kids) are trying to use www.coolmath-games.com and when I have parental controls enabled and I do not give the ability to modify the dock the page comes up blank.
    It doesn't matter how I have the web controls set (I said allow all just to be sure).
    If I toggle on "allow user to modify the dock" the above page works.  If I toggle it off, then the page doesn't work.
    I *think* this page worked in Lion, but I don't know for sure.  The kids just started complaining about it after I updated to mountain lion.
    Any suggestions?
