Setting parental controls in an iTunes movie?

I know you can set parental controls in the iTunes program generally, but is there a way to tweak an indivusal movie parental controls? Or add parental controls to a single movie or TV show, or music song? I could not find this option when displaying a movies "info". I'd think iTunes would add a parental control settings the user can modify..?

Try going here and emailing the store about the issue

Unable to set parental controls on itunes b/c my username and password are not correct. How do I reset them? There is no prompt to give any clues what they are.

This is a user to user support forum. We are all iphone users just like you.
You are not addressing Apple here at all.
This is an odd way to ask your fellow iphone users for help. Berating oterh users will not help you.
"it's too fragile"
No it is not. i have never damaged one, nor has anyone I know.
" U loose data when Ur phone is locked"
No you don't. Why do you think this?
"and there is no customer support!!! "
Wrong yet again. Apple has an 800 number and they have many retail stores and they have support articles that you can access using the search bar. Or you can contact them throgh express lane online
"but I will go back with Blackberry "
Please do.
Good ridance

Can I set parental control on firefox for a specific user only?

I'm using windows 7 and firefox 18.0.2. On my PC I have my Admin account and my kids account. Now as they're coming to an age they're needing Internet access for projects and so on, I wonder if I can set parental control on firefox (by add-on?) as I have on windows, so that whenthey log on their account, firefox will only allow access to what I have allowed. That is, limit internet usage ONLY on their account, while I'll still be able to use firefox unrestrictedly. I don't want to have them use another browser that I' m not as familiar with just so I can set parental control on everything on that browser. Any ideas?

If you mean you want to block certain sites by some parental control software, you can try a web filter to block sites by URL or keywords.

Hi, I hope someone can help.... When I open a new user account, which I want to set parental control on, the screen keeps freezing once the account is open. The wee rainbow circle appears and I can't do anything. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks

Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
Report any errors it found for Disk Repair, don't need the ones for Permissions Repair.
Try it again & see if anything changed, but have Activity Monitor open & Show All Processes & sorted on CPU%, also have Console open if we can... maybe not when switching, but we'll see.
Does this happen if you just try to create a new admin user???

Setting Parental Controls by movie

Hi, I have set up ATV2 correctly and all is working. The problem now is that I have children who know how to use it to start their movies. Is there anyway to restrict movies that I don't want them to be able to watch?
Manually, I could put a prefix like Children / Adult and they would know what they can't watch, but I don't really like the honor system for a 7 year old.
Any suggestions?
Let me know. Thanks

give each movie an age rating (using a third part tagger), and then enable parental controls to block movies above a certain age rating.

Parental Controls for Ripped DVD/Movies for Apple TV

I would like to know if there is such a feature to add on a parental control to selected films on Apple TV or iTunes Home Sharing.
Obviously, kids can operate these things pretty well but what happens if we put something like a Texas Chansaw Massacre on there, next to Toy Story, that a young kid shouldn't see. Is there a way of putting a pin code on to this? or a restricted folder?
Thanks

you can use e.g. Subler to add an explicit tag to movie files, then adjust the parental control preference pane accordingly

Parental Controls / Front Row / Apple Movie Trailers

I have Parental Controls set up for my children. If they start up Front Row, they have access to the Apple Movie Trailers. Even though these trailers are approved for all audiences, they often contain mature, adult, and disturbing images.
So, how do I block access to Apple movie trailers? Here is what I've tried:
1. Remove access to *.apple.com in Parental controls. Didn't work.
2. Block *.apple.com in SafeEyes (internet filter program). Didn't work.
3. Uncheck Front Row in Parental Controls. Didn't work.
Front Row works no matter what Parental Controls says. And the trailers do not seem to be hosted on *.apple.com...
Any ideas as to what else I can try?
Thanks in advance!

"Front Row.app" can be disabled by downloading and installing the "Server Admin Tools" from Apple and using "Workgroup Manager.app", but to avoid the hassle for a one-off like this, try logging in to an "admin" account, launching "/Applications" > "Utilities" > "Terminal.app" and entering a command of the form below, substituting the managed account's "short name" where it says 'username':<pre style="overflow:auto; padding: 5px; width: 500px ; font-size: 10px; border:1">
/usr/bin/sudo /usr/bin/dscl . -mcxset /users/username com.apple.frontrow PreventActivation always -bool true</pre>
As an aside, note that the "Front Row.app" in the "/Applications" folder is just a launcher for the actual "Front Row.app" buried in "/System/Library/CoreServices".

Sub-accounts on new computer for parental control, access to itunes library

I have established sub-accounts on my new iMac in order to activate parental controls. Does anyone know how I can grant the sub-accounts access to the libraries in the itunes account in the administrative account?

Tried hooking up my external drive to my Mini. This morning my Mini had all my info listed, but I couldn't play any songs, for obvious reasons. Now, my Mini is hooked up to the external, iTunes prefs are set on the path to the external - but there is no music in iTunes. No lists, no songs, nada. Just a virgin iTunes window. ***?

Parental controls interferes with iTunes Store access

My daughter's account is set up to use Parental Controls. Under Tiger, she had no problems getting to the iTunes Store. Under Leopard, we get an "unknown error" (with a "-4" in it somewhere), every time.
If I turn off the parental controls for her account, she can get to the iTunes Store. If I turn them back on, she can't.
(On a related note, toggling Parental Controls seems to lose all of your settings... That is, the workaround to my iTunes Store problem might be to disable Parental Controls when she wants to access the store). That's a pain, though, because all of the "allow" / "don't allow" settings that I've established are lost, every time.)
She's got access to iTunes (and iTunes Helper, whatever that is), so it's not like I've prevented her from using iTunes. Again, worked fine under Tiger.
Is there a permanent fix to this?

Same problem.
Here is a workaround that works for me: I go to the iTunes Music Store and enter a search term in the search box, "The Monkees," for example. The search takes me to the Search Results screen. From there, if I click on an Artist or Album link, to "escape" out of the Search Results screen, the navigation path at the top has the home icon, music, genre, etc. buttons available. If I click on the home button, I get the long wait followed by an error. But I can click on the next level below, Music, and get pretty much everywhere in the music store.
And I've also temporarily turned off parental controls to debug this and lost all the allow / deny settings... very annoying.
The most difficult thing about trying to solve the parental control problems is that it is not always clear what is causing the problem. For example, amazon.com works fine when allowed, but once you go into secure mode most parts of the site fail to load properly, no matter what you add to the allow list in parental controls. Something about parental controls "fails to establish a secure connection." Turning off parental controls fixes the problems, but then you have no parental controls.

I was trying to set parental controls and somehow lost the abitlity to sign in as adminstrator. When I try to reset using my OSX CD, it says I need to install Rosetta before I can reinstall MacOSX. I say yes, but it asks for my administrator ID/password

Somehow lost my ability to login as administrator when i was trying to set up Parental Controls. Now it does not recognize my administrator name or password. When I try to reset my password by reinstalling MacOSX, it tells me I have to first install Rosetta. When I say yes, it asks for my administrator name and password! ARG! Help please!

Whew, let's see if we can trick it into making a new admin account...

Safari disappears when I set parental controls

Creating User Accounts So I Can Set Parental Controls?

My nine year old son loves to use YouTube to watch video game videos and apparently there are NO parental controls or any kind of filters on YouTube. The majority of the ones he finds are ok but there's about 15% that are just plain shocking even to me. Its pretty sad the things that people put up there. I hate to have him never be able to get online again so I want to set some sort of filter where I can block content according to keyword but I just cant figure it out at all. So I tried to set controls over the whole MacBook but it tells me that as administrator I cannot. I cant figure out how to create non-admin users though. Searched all the forums and guides, etc. but no answer.
Thanks, so in summary, I just want to know how to create user accounts if thats the right term.
I am using a MacBook, running Mac OSX version 10.4.11.

Hi
Apple menu (top left hand corner) > System Preferences > Accounts. Click the lock to authenticate. Just above the lock are two icons; a 'plus' and 'minus'. Click the 'plus' icon. Enter the name of your son, tab down into the next field and that should autofill for you with the information you placed in the name field; tab down again and enter a password; tab again to key in the password again; don't tick the box that says "allow user to administer this computer"; click 'Create Account'. You should be prompted with a window asking if you want to leave automatic login on or if you want to turn it off - turn it off. You'll see why later on. What you should see after this has finished is in the left hand window at the top your account details with your name and underneath it should 'Admin' and below your account details will be your son's. Underneath his name it should say 'Standard'.
Click on his name to select it and now click on the Parental Controls tab on the right hand side of that window. You should now have the option to enable and configure control for the 5 applications listed there: Mail, Finder & System, iChat, Safari and Dictionary. Explore and configure to your hearts content from there. When you are happy quit out of System Preferences and select Log out from the Apple Menu. You should now be presented with the Login Window displaying not only your account but also the newly created one for your son. Log in s your son and test to see if what you've set as a control has worked. Keep going backwards and forwards between the two accounts until you are happy.
Bear in mind there is only so much you can do.
It's virtually impossible to block everything potentially morally harmful without basically stopping your son from having any access at all. You could look at supplementing Parental Controls with the built-in filters in your router - if you have one? If you don't then consider getting one. I'm struggling to think of a router for residential use that does not have some sort of built-in web filter?
The tab button is the key immediately to the left of the 'Q' key. It will have an arrow going from left to right printed on it.

Setting parental controls via profile manager

So I've got Lion Server running on an older mac mini. I've setup up accounts on the server for my kids. (they're my guinea pigs!) We have 2 other macs in the house both running Mavericks. I'm able to do a networkin login into the kids' accounts from those client machines with no problem. I'm also storing their home folders on the server and creating "mobile" accounts (I think that's the terminology) on the client machines. I've installed the Trust certificate from the server onto those client machines. I've also installed the group certificate on the client machiens. (most of the profile manager settings I have for the kids are handled in a group called "kids")
Here's the problem: if I try to enforce parental controls on the kids' accounts (such as limiting the time they can be on them, etc) it doesn't work. In fact, after the settings get pushed to the client machines, they (the client machines) often will lock-up or start acting really flaky. A reboot "fixes" that, but the parental controls still won't work.
I've tried this literally dozens of times with the same result. Other changes in profile manager, such as restricting access to certain apps, DOES seem to work. It's mainly just the settings related to parental controls that seem to be the problem.
Am I doing something wrong? Is this stuff supposed to work? Thanks for any help, this is incredibly frustrating!

Unfortunatley I never got this resolved. In fact, it turns out that this is really a bug in how the parental controls work with a "managed" account. All of the other settings that can be managed on OSX server seemed to work just fine in my testing, but the parental controls do not. Or more specifically, the curfew (time limit) settings definitely don't work. It's hard to believe, but apparently this is a use-case Apple never considered. (if you do some googling for parental controls and OSX server you'll find we're not alone)
I don't recall exactly, but if you're trying to determine if changes got pushed to the clients there is something in the profile manager (web UI) that shows "completed tasks" or "active tasks" (or something like that) which should show what was pushed and if it was succssfully received by the client.
Anyway, after all that effort I ended up not using the profile management feature in OSX server at all. My kids accounts are now just plain 'old local accounts. I came to the conclusion (as many others have) that OSX server, at least in a home setting, just isn't worth the effort. It's too bad because if it all worked properly it could be really useful. If you still want to mess around with OSX server you might want to check out some nice youtube videos by a guy named Todd Olthof. He has a bunch of videos on OSX server that are actually geared completely towards the home user.
Good luck!

The firefox app is on my daughter's iPhone...how do we set parental controls so she can't be exposed to innappropriate content?

I read something about settings parental controls on our computer for the FireFox browser....but she downloaded it directly to her iPhone. Do I have to open the browser from there in order to turn on a filter of some type? I want to protect her from all the dangerous material that is rampant on the internet today. Thanks

There is no mobile Firefox for any iOS devices due to Apples restrictions on what browser and JavaScript engines can be used.
The only thing Mozilla had was a app in past called Firefox Home which allowed you to sync settings like bookmarks from Firefox to the iOS device.
Android is currently the only mobile OS supported.
So whatever you have on iPhone is not Firefox and just a shell or something for Safari.
