Parental oversight and control apps

Is there a program like "my mobile watchdog" for the iphone?  I have 2 14 yo daughters getting iphones from Santa and I'd like to make sure they play safe once they have the phones.  I was pretty excited until I realized MMW doesn't work on the iphone.

There a many parental control apps in the app store.  Just search for "parental control".

  • My ipad used to show up on the left side of my screen it would be named by my device, I could sync and control apps, movies, music etc. that control is gone. Now I can't sync or manage.

    When connecting my IPad to my MAC, on the right hand side of the screen, my device would show up and I could switch movies etc from my computer/ITunes back and forth. Now a days the device shows up on the top and is listed as devices, IPad and Iphone but I have no control or syncing control. Need help

  • Home montoring and control app

    I have a blackberry, where is my app please.......verizon wireless phone service.  I don't want to change phones to get an app, Ilike my blackberry.

    The My FiOS smartphone app is available for devices running the iOS and Android operating systems.  As of this post I cannot provide any commitment for release of the app for the Blackberry phones. 

  • When will apple make a better call record and control app

    really the call record is so poor that i need to find an app to keep my call records (and there is non available in the store), its a smartphone that cannot memorize phone calls and when they were made older than 2 weeks or more than a certain number of calls.

    No one here would know Apple's future plans and speculation is prohibited. You can submit feedback requesting such a feature here:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback
    The call log is not limited by time. It holds the last 100 calls.
    Best of luck.

  • Can a child block a parent using ios7 on a verizon plan that has parental safeguards and the parent is listed as a trusted contact?

    My child is at college and when we get in an argument or he just is being a spiteful brat he claims to block me using the ios7 capability to block callers.  I have Verizon and have the parental safeguards and controls set up and as account owner and the parent, I also listed myself as a trusted contact which states the call can't be blocked.  However, I want to know if ios7 can override the parent control and actually block my calls and texts?
    And yes, i know to take away his phone.  If this continues he will lose the privilege of it.  So, please no parenting tips.

    That's what I thought.  That really stinks when they are away at school and I physically can't get the phone back.  I'll just deactivate until he learns to not be disrespectful.
    Thank you.

  • 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?

  • Parental Controls app settings keep changing on their own

    I manage a lab and have setup Parental Controls to allow certain apps. However, later students will launch an app. that I have enabled and get the dialog box saying it isn't allowed. I go back and check parental controls for that computer and the app is now unchecked.
    1) how can I keep this from happening?
    2) is there a preferences file somewhere that I can save and then just upload from time to time?
    Thanks,
    Craig

    I suspect your students are smarter than you think they are
    Be sure nobody knows the admin password. Change it to be sure and make sure nobody is looking.
    Be sure nobody has a Leopard DVD handy.
    Be sure all users are non-admin types.
    Check all 3rd party apps installed on the machines.
    You can also check the console logs on the machines to see how and when the change occurred.

  • Is there a parental control app that is good out there?

    Is there a parental control app that is good out there?

    Mobicip and K9 are really good options. I like Mobicip especially because K9 doesn't offer the "Open in" dialog for files. If you're on an iPad, Olly is another really good option, though again it won't let you open files.
    Remember to delete all google apps, they are full of loopholes.

  • In my macbook pro 15 inch mid 2012 model, my cpu and gpu will get very hot, when gaming or rendering sometimes over 200F. The fans only spin at max about 2900 rpm, when their max is 6400. I downloaded a fan control app, but how can i fix it?

    Hi rhaughan,
    I see that you have concerns about your operating temperature of your computer while using resource-heavy applications such as gaming applications. I have an article that will address some of the concerns you have mentioned:
    Mac notebooks: Operating temperature - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-is/HT201640
    While there are third-party utilities that measure the temperature of a notebook computer, it is important to understand that these utilities are not measuring the external case temperature. The actual case temperature is much lower. Never use third-party applications to diagnose possible hardware issues—instead, contact Apple or go to an Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider.
    You should also see this article for even further information about your fans:

  • Notifications and control panel do not work on either the app screen or home screen

    On my home screen and in apps, I can not swipe up or down to release the notifications or control panel. It has worked earlier today, however not any more.
    I can, however, access them in the lock screen, andin settings, they are allows to open in apps. It should always allow me to access them in the home screen though, so I do not know what has happened.
    What do I have to do to access the control panel in the home screen, and why is it like this?

    Do you have a screen protector or case that would interfere with swiping?
    If so remove them as a test.
    Otherwise:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes      
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • As a stockholder, I would like see the development of iTV with Retina display and integrating Siri control, internet access, and iTunes apps. This new product would be a large screen, thin wall mounted television, much like a oversided iPad.

    Do you think this product is possible?

    In general theory, one now has the Edit button for their posts, until someone/anyone Replies to it. I've had Edit available for weeks, as opposed to the old forum's ~ 30 mins.
    That, however, is in theory. I've posted, and immediately seen something that needed editing, only to find NO Replies, yet the Edit button is no longer available, only seconds later. Still, in that same thread, I'd have the Edit button from older posts, to which there had also been no Replies even after several days/weeks. Found one that had to be over a month old, and Edit was still there.
    Do not know the why/how of this behavior. At first, I thought that maybe there WAS a Reply, that "ate" my Edit button, but had not Refreshed on my screen. Refresh still showed no Replies, just no Edit either. In those cases, I just Reply and mention the [Edit].
    Also, it seems that the buttons get very scrambled at times, and Refresh does not always clear that up. I end up clicking where I "think" the right button should be and hope for the best. Seems that when the buttons do bunch up they can appear at random around the page, often three atop one another, and maybe one way the heck out in left-field.
    While I'm on a role, it would be nice to be able to switch between Flattened and Threaded Views on the fly. Each has a use, and having to go to Options and then come back down to the thread is a very slow process. Jive is probably incapable of this, but I can dream.

  • In Yosemite Mail, the control click option no longer works when clicking on attachments, that previously allowed you to save, quicklook, and select app to open with. Any solutions?

    Do you know how I can estabilsh how many apps are counting toward this 10 and what they are?

  • My apps and Control Center calculator have disappeared on my iPhone 5s!!

    I just bought this phone in December and was having a lot of fun learning how to use it.
    All of my apps have been working fine, but suddenly this week a bunch of them are just gone... and so is the calculator in my Control Center!
    It is an iPhone 5s.  Operating System iOS 7.0.4.  Sprint. 
    I have not used anything called 'jailbreak.'  It is a brand new phone, not a restored one.
    I have researching solutions on forums and youtube and I have tried the following suggestions:
    - Swipe my screen right --> Use the search bar to find my apps. 
    - swiping between different screens and folders where they may have been displaced
    - Settings --> General --> Reset --> Reset Home Screen Layout
    - Settings --> General --> Reset --> Reset All Settings
    - Delete all of my apps.  Plug the phone into my laptop.  iTunes --> App Store --> redownload them from iTunes. (my laptop app store did not show iphone apps, just laptop apps)
    All of these suggestions had no success.  The Reset All Settings was a killer.  I backed up everything I thought I needed on iCloud but missed some things.  So now after all those trials, I lost a bunch of my info, my wifi and settings are reset, and I am still missing my apps and Control Center calculator 
    PLEASE SOMEBODY HELP ME!
    I am not very technologically advanced, so if there are any new suggestions you can offer, I would greatly appreciate it! 
    And please explain them in layman's terms    thanks

    Is that the only option?
    Why would I have suggesed it if there were a simpler option that you didn't aready try without success?
    I'm afraid I will lose even more information.
    Did you read the support article I linked for you - specifically the part about backing up and restoring the backup?

  • Use 2nd gen apple tv and remote control app on iphones and ipad.  We can control some functions on the apple tv but unable to purchase, access such controls as reset, restart, turn off home sharing, etc.  Home sharing stuck on old apple ID. Please help.

    That is why I said to restore via iTunes, did you check the link?
    This will put it back to factory settings and you can set it up with the new ID once you reconnect with your HDTV. This is not done via ethernet, as per the link you need to connect to the computer via micro usb. You cannot bypass home sharing.
    FYI: An Apple ID cannot be deleted so the old one would still exist (even if you no longer use the email account it is associated with).
