Restrictions should have option to PREVENT blocking numbers.

My kid unwittingly blocked me and could not receive TXTs or calls from me and there is no indication that I was blocked - NOT GOOD!  Took me two hours of messing with the phone to discover the issue and correct it but that doesn't mean it couldn't happen again.  There should at least be a measure that prevents a family member in family sharing (especially a minor) from blocking a designated parent or "Organizer".
Not sure if this is the right place to submit helpful ideas to Apple but I could't locate any other.  If there is another place to send suggestions please let me know.

This is a user-to-user support forum. Here is a link for the place for feedback/suggestions for Apple: https://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

  • Apple app store should have option to download older versions.

    I have experienced these many times that newer application does not work and we have to wait for bug fix release and we do not have choice to come back on older version.
    Benefits of this provision
    1. User can download stable version if one found some critical bug.
    2. Reduce Older iOS compatibility issues.
    3. Reduce Older iPhone compatibility issues.
    It hurts when we purchase apps and these do not work for any problem. Apple Inc. should co-ordinate to developers and make provisions for downword compatibility and choice to have any version of application.

  • HT201229 CAN you block numbers on your phone with iOS 6

    I have ios6  can i block numbers from phone the way you are doing it with ios 7 noww

    But you can set things up so they are less annoying.
    Find a silent ringtone on the Internet. Install it on your phone.
    Create a contact for the number. Give that contact the silent ringtone, and set vibrate to none.
    Set the texting entries in the contact to none and none for sound and vibrate as well
    now if they call or text you will not hear them. You will only know if you are looking at the phone and it lights up when they call, and you will have a missed call notice. You just ignore them. But it does not wake you up, or make you stop what you are doing to answer the call

  • Hi All can anyone help me, I have a Iphone 4s and I'm currently recieving nuisance calls via a blocked number is there anyway I can stop my phone accepting blocked numbers? Cheers

    Hi all I'm Currently recieving Nuisance Calls via a Blocked number is there anyway I can stop my Iphone accepting Blocked Numbers? Thanks

    There is a way! I'm very happy to share this and hope it helps those who find themselves plagued, as I was.
    I have been getting nuisance calls for months from some muppet, who hides his phone number before he calls at 3am. I need to keep my phone on, in case any of my immediate family have an emergency. I'm sure many have the same problem, just turning off the phone is not an option. I have been to two or three shops to ask the experts and none could offer me a solution. I was on the verge of tring to jailbreak my phone or even get rid of it to get an andriod one...That's how bad things had become.
    Anyway, this is my solution, which I found by trawling through page after page on the internet, for ages and trying various other solutions first. I have an iPhone 4S and the operating system is 6.1.3 and I am in the UK, on Orange, or EE as we should now call it. I cannot promise it will help everyone, but it works for me.
    Go to Settings, Do Not Disturb and switch this on. Underneath here, go to Notifications, then Do Not Disturb again. Then Scheduled and set the times you want the restrictions to start and end. For example, I use 7pm to 8am, so that I know I won't get nuisance calls during this period, but whatever times work for you. Underneath, it says Allow calls from and you can select your favourites. If you haven't saved any of your contacts as Favourites, do so, it's very easy. Just go to contacts, open one and underneath the number there is a button to Add to favourites. Repeat for all close friends and family you want to be able to reach you at any time. All your favourites should be allowed to call. I think you can have 50 numbers in the favourites. But any unknown caller should be simply sent to voicemail.
    Apple have had some previous issues with the Do Not Disturb feature and to be honest this didnt work 100% of the time for me. If you find the same, don't give up. I suggest you do as I did at this point and use an app called Call Bliss, which seems to have cracked it. (I have NO connection to them and it's no skin off my nose if you use this app or not). There may be other apps that do the same, or even better for all I know. You have a free one day trial then it's £3 if you want to continue to use it. For me, £3 to solve the problem was money very well spent. If you need this app, download it, then do as suggested above to the point where it says Allow calls from and this time you select Bliss Exceptions. Follow the instructions in the app.
    There are two modes, I use suppress mode, which allows all calls to get through except those from unknown callers and those specified by you. I believe the other mode blocks all calls, except those you specify. Please note, the app only works when the iPhone is locked. Your lock might come on after the phone is not used for 5 minutes or so, or you can lock the phone by single clicking the on/off button (not holding it down).
    I hope this helps anyone as much as it has done me.

  • I think we should have been given the option to move books from iTunes to iBooks. All mine were downloaded CD booklets and inserts which were in their right place in iTunes. What do others think?

    I think we should have been given the option to have our books moved from iTunes to iBooks. All mine were CD booklets and inserts downloaded with the CDs, and the obvious place for them was in iTunes. As it is now, I can no longer use my own convention for naming, sorting etc. The sort facility in iBooks does not work. What do others think?

    I erased my windows partition using disk utility then realized I should have used boot camp, because now I can't resize the original partition and seem to be stuck with a ghost unusable space. Boot Camp now doesn't give me the option to install or remove windows partition.

    Hi, Ralph,
    The problem is that I did erase the partition, using disk utility, but I can't go back to my original disk size pre-partition, as disk utility won't let me do it and gives the message "Couldn’t modify partition map because file system verification failed." When I try to use Boot Camp Assistant it won't let me select the third option to remove windows.

  • I have a Macbook Pro early 2011. i don't have AirPlay on my computer. How can I get it. I have read that early 2011 should have the AirPlay option. Any ideas please.

    Hi All,
    I need your expert advice to proceed. I bought apple TV and it works fine with my iPad and iPhones also fine with itune of my Mac Book Pro BUT I am not seeing setting which says "Airplay Mirroring" in system preference -> Display at all.
    I checked my mac serial number and it shows the model as below. As far as I understood this feature should be there from 2011 onwards.
    MacBook Pro (13-inch, Late 2011)
    Software  Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63b)
    Please suggest!!
    Thanks and Regards

  • Apple should have a file for stolen iPods that prevents iTune activation.

    Apple should have a file for stolen iPods that prevents iTune activation. This would provide at least some deterrent or frustration for the SOB who steals. Mine was stolen: Serial number: 8M9086ZX2C7....just in case someone sees it....Oh and it has my name engraved on the back.

    is there an app for iphone 4 that can block numbers from calling my phone so i dont have to change my number???is there an app for iphone 4 that can block numbers from calling my phone so i dont have to change my number???
    Of course not.  Number blocking must be done by your wireless provider.

  • How come I can't block numbers anymore?

    Hi I currently do not have any numbers blocked on my device but upon going to the my verizon account settings and looking for the blocked feature I noticed the options have been changed with the new site redesign. I no longer have the option to block a number on my phone. I contacted my dad who is the account owner for all our accounts but he assured me there has been no blocks or changes made to my phone or account so therefore I should be able to block a number like I always have been.
    I have this one person sending me harassing phone calls and I need to stop it before it gets out of hand. If I click on my verizon I look to the left and click on the menu item that says "block calls and messages" and upon clicking that I click on "manage family and safeguard controls" and then scroll down the page to the option that says "call and message blocking." It shows that the item is free to install so when I click on apply it simply redirects me to the page that has the feature for "manage family and safeguard controls."
    Basically I am confused and lost. I used to be able to block up to 5 numbers free of charge at one time and now idk if this the new site doing this but it is not showing me a list where I can insert a number and I have no clue what I am doing wrong.

    The option is still there, but for some reason the feature fell off some phones when the site was redesigned.  At least that's how it was explained to me when the same thing happened a month or so ago.  I talked with a Customer Service rep who put the feature back on the phone line, then I was able to block numbers via MyVerizon again.

  • Blocked Numbers Problem

    I blocked 888-799-7986 three days ago from calling my phone through the website.  Today I got a call from that number, but they called with 1-888-799-7986.  Is this a glitch in the Verizon system that the same number can get through if a 1 is added in front?  If I go to Block the number 1-888-799-7986, I get the error that the phone number must be 10 digits -- so I can't block the newly changed number from the company.
    Yes, the phone is also on the do not call list and I have reported the number both times now, but just a bit curious as to why the number can still get through after I have had it blocked.

     If the caller is using an international number it can not be blocked.  
    Caller ID Block, where not recognized, may not be blocked.  Verify that the correct number is being blocked.  
    Details of Call & Message Blocking:
    Account Owners have insight into what blocks their account members have set up and can modify them.
    Account Members with access to My Verizon can block up to five 10-digit phone numbers from unwanted incoming calls and messages for 90 days.
    Incoming calls from these numbers are blocked (outgoing calls are allowed).
    Incoming texts from these numbers are blocked 
    Not available on international numbers.
    If a 10-digit international number is entered, the call may not be blocked and is dependent on carrier agreements.
    Cannot block other account members.
    After expiration, customers can sign up again for an additional 90 days. 
    Blocked individuals who call a customer will hear the message: Welcome to Verizon Wireless. The number you were trying to reach has calling restrictions which has prevented the completion of your call
    The following are the limitations and restrictions to Call Blocking:
    Incoming call and message blocking is not available on International numbers.
    Limited to five 10-digit phone numbers only.
    Verizon Wireless Financial Services Call Center or collection agency numbers cannot be entered or blocked.
    Caller ID Block, where not recognized, may not be blocked.
    The Call Blocking feature only blocks inbound voice calls and incoming messages from a number on the block list.
    All blocked individuals receive the blocked Picture/Video message in their inbox, including the subject line. However they will not be able to view content body (text and multi-media items).
    International numbers may not be added.

    Otherwise, consider increasing the block size or decreasing the device size.
    If I add the -Jblock64 option works, but dunno how can affect the performance of the cluster disk. By the way, block Size cannot be increased since 4096 is the maximum allowed.

    As far as I know, by default with block size = 4K you should be able to format a 16TB partition, am I wrong?
    Any ideas?
