Set use of only certain Apps and Menus

I'm a teacher with new eMac's for my design class. I want to set the eMac so only certain Apps will open and run (I know I can set things in System Prefs), but what I'm looking for is a way for the user to ONLY view certain Apps. Right now they can view and click on the App but it won't open.
I want to limit their "wandering" around the computer.
Any help is GREATLY appreciated.

David,
Have a look at this page:
http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/family/
Under Tiger, you can set your computer to limit the programs, etc. that a user may see and access. I use this feature at home for my children, and it works quite well. Unfortunately, this feature is not native to Panter and would require that you upgrade your eMacs to Tiger. Perhaps your school would pay for this. There may be other comercially available programs out there that will do the same.

  • Trying to update iphone 3GS. I use it only for apps and music. It will not allow me to update through itunes? What do I do?

    I have a iphone I do not use as a phone anymore. I use the apps and the music on it though. I downloaded itunes and I am trying to update the phone so I can purchase music and apps for it. When I plug it to the computer it starts syncing and runs a good 20 minutes and then I get an error saying it cannot update and it takes me to a update repair page that does nothing to help. Can someone help me on what to do? I have my own itunes account, I have wi-fi, I have all the songs on my phone I purchased but I cant get it to sync with itunes at all. I can do nothing. Is this usual? Can I do something so I can still use the phone as a Ipod putting new stuff on it or am I stuck with all the old stuff and I can never add anything on it? HELP

    To be exact the error says the iphone could not be restored, an unknown error occured (-1). What is that?

  • I used to be able to sync only certain apps but now there is no tick box to select which ones how do I do this now

    Hi
    The tick box seems to have disappeared from Apps when syncing - just bought a new ipad mini and don't want all my apps on it but without the tick box I'm not sure how to select only the ones I want.  Can anyone tell me how I now select only certain apps.

    Hey Maggiely,
    Thanks for the question. The following article may have the answer to your question:
    iTunes 11 for Mac: Add apps to iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12115
    Select Sync Apps, and click Install next to the apps you want to sync. If you have iOS 3.1 or later, you can also do the following:
    - Drag apps from the list on the left to the Home screen on the right.
    - Arrange your device’s Home screens by dragging app icons to where you want them to appear.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPhone to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPhone under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

  • Is it possible to use imessage only in wifi and sms when no wifi is available?

    is it possible to use imessage only in wifi and sms when no wifi is available? I have unlimited texting but only 200mb of data. I know how to turn i messaging on/off manually but is there away to set it so it does it automatically?

    The only option you have is to turn off cellular data completely. You are correct, there is no setting for cellular data for messages. If you toggle iMessage off/on multiple times, you will end up with problems, since others will not know if you have iMessage off/on, and will continue to try to send iMessages to you. Also, you may find you will have problems with iMessage activating again after turning it off. iMessages do not use very much data, but if you are using data for other reasons, that could use up the limited pool of data you mentioned

  • Use one account for apps and other for itunes match

    Hello everybody
    My question today is quite simple. I use one account for apps and tv shows, but inwant to use a different itunes account for purchasing itunes match. How can I use them both on my devices? Will it be asking for my user-pass each time i play a song? What other thing should i consider?
    Thank you in advance

    I would strongly recommend you not do this.  You will regret it.
    I have played with this issue a lot.  You have to remain signed into match in order for it to show up on your phone. If you sign out to purchase an app or redownload one from your appstore id you use then match will be removed from your phone and when you go into your music app the icloud will not be there.  You then have to go sign back out of the store id you used for your app purchase and then sign back into match and everything will have to go though the download to your device process again.  This really is not what you want to do.
    Sign up to match with the apple id that you know you will use the most or has the most purchased items and use that for all purchases, i.e. books, apps, movies, and music.  You don't want to go though the other process.
    Plus apple will start not letting you sign into match because you signed out and back in, in to short a period of time.
    all store purchases on an iphone are linked to the store id.  if you sign out of your match id on the appstore and sign into another account to purchase an app then itunes match will sign out in the music app.  You can't have two store id's signed into your iphone at the same time.  They are all linked together.

  • My iphone was stolen, I used find my iphone app, and found that it was offline, however when tried locking mode option, I pressed remove device by mistake. Is there any way I can restore the iphone to my icloud/ apple Id again? No manual backup on laptop

    The phone will automatically re-appear when it connects to the Internet. However, don't get your hopes up, as thieves know this & will make sure your phone never re-connects so you can locate it.

  • Used "find my iphone app" and now that I have found my iphone, no one can hear me talk? how do I let Apple know I have found my Iphone so I can use my Iphone?

    used "find my iphone app" and now that I have found my iphone, no one can hear me talk? how do I let Apple know I have found my Iphone so I can use my Iphone?
    so frustrated.

    Well its defintiely nothing that Apple can activate to fix this. They would be able to troubleshoot with you though. This may be able to be resolved if its something software related.
    You can chat into Apple by visiting https://getsupport.apple.com

  • Can iTunes be set to play only one song and then stop when the song is finished and not go on to play another unless commanded?

    Can iTunes be set to play only one song and then stop when the song is finished and not go on to play another unless commanded?

    If you uncheck all of the songs, they will only play if explicitly commanded. Command-click in a checkbox and they will all be unchecked. Command-clicking again will check the all again should you want to do that.

  • Can I use iphoto on ipad app and synch changes back to my mac?

    can I use iphoto on ipad app and synch changes back to my mac?

    No, changes done on the iPad will not sync back to iPhoto on your mac.
    But you can transfer the edited photos back to your mac - share them to the camera role or send them by mail. Any edited image you add to the camera roll can be imported into your iPhoto Library, when you connect your iPad to yourmac via USB.
    But there is no real syncing of iPhoto libraries on your mac and IOS devices.

    Thanks, I do know where the "any" key is...obviously I have to use the pin code.  What I need to know is specifically where I go to on either the phone or on PC to find the proper screen.

  • UK iTunes store only has Apps and Books on the purchased tab...

    UK iTunes store only has Apps and Books on the purchased tab. I've purchased alot of music recently on my iPhone and iPod and when trying to sync I got an error of -1009 so I decided to download from iCloud but it only has Apps and Books no music. Does anyone know what I can do?
    Currently Running:
    Mac OSX Lion
    iOS 5 (Beta)

    Apple , The Performing Rights Association, copy right owners and music labels have no agreement or even timeframe in which remote storage of purchased music as defined by the iClound service can be offered in the UK.
    Even off the record comments indicate perhaps sometime in 2012 at the earliest.
    This may be an attempt to break the strangle hold of iTunes and allow further growth of Spotify or other services

  • Cant update only certain apps, gets linked to a random apple ID that isnt mine, but checked app store and its signed in with my ID. HELP =[

    Im trying to update the facebook app on my iphone 4s, but when i click update .. an apple ID that doesnt belong to me shows up and asks for the password.

    How to delete an app ? Press and hold any of the apps and after a couple of seconds or so they should start to shake. Then press the 'x' in the left corner to delete the ones that you don't want, and when you've finished deleting press the home button so as to stop the shaking. If you don't get the 'x' on any of the apps that you've downloaded (you can't delete built-in apps) then check that Settings > General > Restrictions > Deleting Apps isn't set 'off'. Then buy and download the app with your own account.
    Or how to do something else ?
