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.

  • The video sound faster than video ipad mini, this happen when I download the iOS 7.1 to my iPad mini, how can I fix that?

    The video sound faster than video ipad mini, this happen when I download the iOS 7.1 to my iPad mini, how can I fix that? Or just wait till Mac release a new version update, also some game and apps doesn't open or when open they close, please help!!!

    Start by closing all apps and resetting your iPad and see if that helps with any of your issues.
    To close an app, drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it. Close all of the apps on the iPad this way.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Something is controlling my iPad mini

    I Have an iPad mini and it has been what appears to be randomly searching and displaying previous searches in  safari, then playing you tube videos while I am absent, going through and opening all my apps in sequence. All with no input from me. This appears to have started since i upgraded to 7.0.3 (11B511) does this have anything to do with the new ability to recognize a non apple supported power supply as it only seems to happen on a 3 third party dock since I loaded new system

    Hi there, I just started getting these problems as well in the past few days. Did not even use any third party lightning connector but suddenly apps started crashing (even Apple ones like iBooks). Pages started turning on its own and then it takes over completely. Opening and closing other apps and typing URLs in Safari, pulling down notification center menus, pulling up control center menus, etc. it's a nightmare!
    After resetting as you advised as well, it will be normal for a while before the whole 'performance' starts up again. It's mighty frustrating! I just wanna read and this is really irking me.
    What should I do next? Seriously?

  • 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.

  • 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 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.

  • HT201304 parental controls for ipad safari does not fall under general settings?

    I thought the parental settings under general settings/preferences also applied to the safari application.   I just found out it does not by my small child....horror at this discovery.   So what are my options?

    Block Safari entirely, and get a Browser with parental controls such as:
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mobicip-safe-browser/id299153586?mt=8
    Search the App store for more.

  • Watching streaming videos on TV through iPad mini

    My parents have an iPad mini. I got them a subscription to netflix and would like to buy a cable to connect iPad mini to their tv so they can watch streaming videos on there. A rep from Apple told me that there is no such cable and I must buy Apple TV.  Is that correct?
    Thanks in advance for any help or adivce.

    only apps which were made to support av out will display on the tv
    test with the build in apple video app
    if it does work and whatever other app don't the fault is with the other app not with the ipad and or cable

    Thanks in Advance!

  • IPad mini losses playback controls/capabilities using shared library content videos

    While accessing my shared "authorized" video library on my MacBook Pro, using the latest iTunes version (as of this submission), with my sparkling new iPad mini, the playback controls simply disappear usually after a few minutes, i.e. no progress bar, buttons for stop/start/pause/"done".
    The video stream from the shared library cannot be stopped without the on-screen controls so we either attempt to turn off the unit (pressing the top on/off button) or (usually) press the home button after which the video stream/app stops then return to the expected ipad screen but the residual sound stream will continue to run indefinitely.
    Most of the time, we hit the home button to end the video playback then wait for the sound stream portion to end which on average takes up to 1-5 minutes to stop completely.
    This is repeatable too. 
    SUMMARY:
    1). Without power cycling, we can play a video from the shared librar
    2). then wait long enough for the video controls to "go missing" or again go unresponsive
    3.) then press the home button which returns you to your normal iPad screen
    4.) but the sound stream portion will take a while to take its course before ending.
    Also, we gave power-cycling between issues but the each and every time, the shared library video playback inevitably ended up with same results.
    iPad mini with iOS 6.1.3 factory , wifi only unit with legitimate software, etc. I.e. no jailbreak nonsense.
    Any suggestions?  Or is this a glitch/bug which needs addressing?  Or a simple setting on the unit?
    Thanks in advance!!!

    I have nearly the same problem, but with an iPad 3rd generation. The symptoms are exactly the same, just a different device.
    You documented the problem well, I can only add that resetting and reloading did not solve the problem for me.

  • IPad mini rewind or skip on home control center for videos in iOS8 + WiFi problem

    Hi,
    When I had iOS7 it was easy to skip an ad video on the websites before the main episode to watch just by opening the control center from below and by tapping the forward ">>" button it would skip the advertisement video without problems, but now with iOS 8.3 that I just uploaded because of the ugly emoji I can't skip any... I tap on this and nothing happens. Only if I press and hold it it'll go faster to the end but it's annoying on long videos, I just want to entirely skip it.
    Do you guys have any solution on this?
    Thank you!
    P. S.: I don't know if I should open a new topic about this other issue, but when my family watches HD videos in their room (the content is from a far away country app) and "download" (not that, but it seems like they're downloading very large files, which is only watching streaming series), my iPad mini internet connection fails too much, it stops and everything weird. The Wi-Fi signal is good (three bars) because I'm freaking next to the router, but it goes very very slow because of them. I don't think it is an iOS problem (I had this on version 7 and 8.3) or anything, but I want more priority on my iPadMini than on my family's Android Samsung Galaxy S4 phone; I don't know how to fix this. They're stealing my fastness even though I'm two meters from the router and they are in the room... Is the antenna of my device worse than theirs? I contacted to my ISP and they can't do anything (bad routers without priority options). It's so sad, I thought Apple was better.

    Can you guys recommend me a forum where people actually read/answer the questions?
    I regret upgrading to iOS8.3; every YouTube link opens automatically in the freaking app, it's so annoying.
    I knew a lot of flaws were coming by not staying in a previous version, now I blame myself for not doing it.
