Taking away ability to make changes.

I have multiple ipods (school set) that I need to keep uniform. Is there a way to group apps on computer and lock them so that students cannot change their position, grouping, or add or delete them?  (So that only I, the admin, can change them on my laptop)

You can set Restrictions to prevent addding and deleting apps but not arranging them. For restrictions see:

  • Unable to make changes in iCal

    I've lost the ability to make changes in iCal. Any change I make is lost when I quit and restart Ical. For example: Added event disappears, deleted task or calender reappears, unpublished calender is again marked as published. All looks fine while iCal is running and is undone when iCal is restarted.
    I can make changes in e.g. Mail, I removed tasks from Mail and they stayed removed.
    Events added in my iPhone gets added in iCal.
    /SJ

    I can't seem to find any help for this issue either. I don't have a .mac account btw. but here is what happened to me.
    I've been trying to switch over from entourage so I organized my recurring events in ical, including a few calendars, a few subscription calendars and the "show birthday calendars" option. Everything was fine for a week. Then i opened ical and all my tasks and some of my events (but not all) were missing. At this point ical began to NOT save anything i entered. I would enter a test task or event and upon reopening the application the changes were not there.
    I searched the internet for help. I found no advice except deleting everything and starting over. This i did last week. I even deleted my plists, library etc... Now when i relaunched, I had empty Home and Work calendars and a "Entourage calendar", which i tried to delete multiple times (syncing was turned off), but I can't seem to permanently remove. It will go away if i delete it, but if i clean up the plists and library again it comes back. maybe this is the way it's suppose to work?? In any case, i finally just unchecked it. This time things seemed to work fine for a day. So i finally turned back on the "birthdays calendar", but i was still leery of subscribing to any other calendars. Things were fine again.
    Last night I entered my tasks again. No importing, just directly entering the info into ical. This morning I open i cal and i'm back to where i started. No tasks, missing events, and i can't seem to get any new events or tasks to save. I'm so frustrated! I hope someone can help. Thanks!

  • Video Playback - Need a way to make students watch the entire video without taking away their controls.

    We want to give our students a good viewing experience for our videos so we'd like to give them playback controls. BUT, we need them to watch the entire video without being able to skip ahead. An ideal situation would allow the user to move to any point in the video, just as long as they have already viewed that portion of the video. Make sense? The only option we have to make sure they are watching the video, is to take away their playback controls.
    Ideas?
    Thanks,
    Jesse

    Think about it. How does taking away their ability to NAVIGATE prove the learner actually WATCHED the video?  They could still easily go do something else while the video is playing.  Does this somewhat draconian 'state' of which you speak also mandate that someone is present when the student is forced to watch this entire video to verify their compliance?
    This whole approach is futile.  Get the person to tick a box either at the end of the slide or on the next slide requiring them to verify they DID watch the video in its entirety.  If they choose to lie, it's on their adult head.

  • I use mymsn page and when upgrading to Firefox 4 the changes went away and I can not make changes to the stocks area or see my emails. How do I fix that?

    Mymsn has areas that allow you to list your stocks and also an area that allows you to see what emails you have waiting to be read. Both of these areas went away when I upgraded to Firefox 4 last week. When clicking on the menu area to make changes, nothing happens. How do I get back the information that was in these areas? Also the customize button does not work.

    Do you have Adblock Plus installed? If you do, disable on the page where you normally see your stock info. I've uploaded an image of what happens on another site where ABP is enabled. The Global News image disappears with ABP enabled even though it's not an ad.
    If that doesn't work, try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it works correctly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.

  • How can I unlock numerous files at the same time (i.e. photos) so I can make changes (rotate etc)?

    Im using Lion on a MacBook Pro 15in (just under two years old) and I would like to know if I can lock numerous photo files at the same time so I can make changes to them. At the moment when I select an entire folder to go through and make changes, ie rotate in Preview, I am told with each photo that I have to unlock it. I am going through photos I took of archival material and have nearly 5000 photos to adjust and make changes to. This small step is taking up a lot of time.
    I realise there will probably be a common 'sense' answer to this but it alludes me at the moment so any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

  • When I update a recurring event on my iPhone, it does not make changes to the calendar in ical or icloud.  Is anyone else having this issue?

    Updating a recurring event on my iPhone does not update the event in either ical or icloud.  If I add a new event on the iPhone it updates right away.  Is this a known problem?  Should I get rid of the recurring event and just make changes day to day manually?  I like having the recurring event set for my work schedule because it rarely changes, but when it does, I'd like to use my iPhone for the updates instead of carrying around my MAC Book all the time.
    Thank you!

    After connecting to iTunes, I noticed that "Back up to iCloud" was selected (in the middle of the screen on the "Summary" tab, under "Backup"), and "Last backed up to iCloud" reflected the time that I attempted to back up from my phone. Even now, the phone still says "Last Backup: Never," so there is clearly a disconnect. Hopefully Apple will fix this soon.

  • Site Setup FTP dialog box will not let us access to make changes

    I have one website on line with the corrected FTP settings that my host earthlink required with its recent changes.  But in order to get those FTP changes done, the web hosting rep from earthlink had to take over my computer.  I have another website that only gets changed once a year.  I made the changes in Dreamweaver & wanted to upload them.  I was given a message that I had to update the FTP for this site.  Again, when I tried to make changes in the FTP, I couldn't click on anything to make those changes.  If the update was already done for one of my websites why didn't it 'trickle down' to encompass my other website?

    I have one website on line with the corrected FTP settings that my host earthlink required with its recent changes.
    What were the changes required?
    in order to get those FTP changes done, the web hosting rep from earthlink had to take over my computer.
    Why?  What did they do once taking over the computer?
    I was given a message that I had to update the FTP for this site.
    Where did this message come from, and what exactly did it say?  When did you get this message in the process of trying to upload your changed files?
    when I tried to make changes in the FTP
    What changes did you try to make, and where were you trying to make them?
    If the update was already done for one of my websites why didn't it 'trickle down' to encompass my other website?
    Are both of these sites using the same site definition?  If they are using different site definitions then there would be no interaction among them at the site definition level.

  • TS3212 User Account control is asking me " Do you want to allow the following program to make changes to this computer? then it asks me to type an administrator password - ?

    What Username and password is the User Account Control program asking for to complete the 10.7 download on my PC? It asks do you want to allow he following program to make changes to your computer.

    The updated version of iTunes is a change to your computer, and the computer is trying to protect itself against unauthorised changes that could damage it (in other words, hacking, trojans, viruses etc.).
    On your computer, you are using a User Account; imagine that it's your part of the computer. Each user on the computer is either an administrator (who can make changes) or a non-adminstrator (who cannot make changes) to the computer itself.
    Do other people use the computer as well, such as your parents, who may have restricted your ability to change programmes on the computer?
    Or is the computer at, and owned by, your school, or in an office? If so, their computer department has created an account on the computer for you to use, but not change.
    In either of the above scenarios, your account will be a non-administrator account. If it's your parents' machine, perhaps they have an administrator's account.
    If you are the only user of the computer, or there is only the one account on it, then presumably, the administrator password is one that you have set up.

  • Hello! I'm out of the country and all my iWeb information is on my computer at home. Now I need to make changes on the webpage... how can i do that without using the computer i made the page on? Thank you!!

    Hello! I'm out of the country and all my iWeb information is on my computer at home. Now I need to make changes on the webpage... how can i do that without using the computer i made the page on? Thank you!!

    iWeb uses the domain.sites2 files to store its assets.
    You'll find it here :
    ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/
    where ~ is your Home directory.
    If you take a computer with you, you have to store that file in the same location.
    It's not different from taking documents with you if you want to edit them.
    A solution is to remotely control your computer at home.
    TeamViewer, LogMeIn, Apple Remote Desktop or any VNC application you can use, like "Chicken of the VNC".

  • Itunes is not able to make changes to a running title, problem is new since feb 10th

    I'm located in Germany, sorry for some english mistakes. Hope to get the problem clear ;-) My itunes library is located on a NAS-storage. Made the firmware Update for Airport Extreme a few days ago. . SInce that time it's not possible to make changes in the Information of a running title in itunes. To get the problem clear i like to explain: got about 100thousand titles in itunes, use it for many years, always the same workflow: I listen to a new title and make changes to the title-information such as intensity, genre, cover-editing, composers, comments, etc. No problem, it was always stored to the file. Now it is possible to do this changes, but the next time, you play this title, information is automatically setting back to the original infornation. If I do this to a NOT running title, the information is to be fixed properly. I use my library for professional work, so this is not acceptable, because it's taking far too much time in the progress. Maybe it's a network problem, not an itunes problem. But maybe someone else got the same experience.

  • Creative cloud wants to make changes

    I get an annoying popup that tells me "Creative Cloud wants to make changes" and asks for my CC password. But when I enter the password it won't accept it. But if I press CANCEL, the popup returns in five seconds. I know the password is correct because I can log into CC and also my adobe account.
    I thought maybe it was a virus, but if so, it has infected both my work and home Macs. The only way to rid myself of this popup (which sits on top of everything) is to quit creative cloud. I have asked Adobe for help but they've shrugged their shoulders.
    Anyone else had this issue?

    catker, you might be right about the latest InDesign update. My Mac's /Library/Logs/Adobe/Installers/Adobe InDesign 9.2.1 log file tells me that I Installed the InDesign update on 3/25/14, which is around the time I started seeing Creative Cloud requesting my password everytime I booted up. I've recently opened the Mac's Console utility and watched it as I enter the password when Creative Cloud asks for it. What I see is this:

    As you can see, there are lots of crashes of a process called ExManEscalatedPrivilegeServer, whose crash reports tell me that its parent process is Creative Cloud Helper:
    Process:         ExManEscalatedPrivilegeServer [786]
    Path:            /Applications/Utilities/Adobe Creative Cloud/*/ExManEscalatedPrivilegeServer
    Identifier:      ExManEscalatedPrivilegeServer

    and also lots of repeated references to Adobe Extension Manager .mxi files in the folder /Library/Application Support/Adobe/InDesign/Version 9.0/en_US/Extensions/REMOVED_CC/, which I'm guessing are components of InDesign replaced by the latest InDesign CC updater.
    I don't really know what any of this means, other than I see it happening every time I've opened Console after I've booted up and Creative Cloud requests my password, and repeated references to ExManEscalatedPrivilegeServer and old pieces of InDesign tucked away in the /Library/Application Support/Adobe/InDesign/Version 9.0/en_US/Extensions/REMOVED_CC/ folder.

  • When i drag and drop to my ipod it wants to sync everything, but if i make changes to the syncing options and apply it wants to sync it all to make it work. i have 12000 songs and takes two days to sync everything. is there an easier way to drag and drop

    when i drag and drop to my ipod it wants to sync everything, but if i make changes to the syncing options and apply it wants to sync it all to make it work. i have 12000 songs and takes two days to sync everything. is there an easier way to drag and drop just one album without making settings changes?

    The first ever Sync of 12,000 songs to an empty iPod will take a while, but it shouldn't take two days.
    Once all 12,000 songs have been Synced to the iPod, subsequent changes to just one album will result in a very short Sync time. That Sync will include:
    the change to that one album
    play counts on iPod updated into your iTunes Library
    Smart Playlists updated: some complex Smart Playlists are not always updated by the iPod but have to wait for a Sync with the Library.
    housework - in other words, behind the scenes tasks that we don't need to see.
    Those subsequent Syncs do not sync every single song every time.
    So, stick with Syncing. If the first Sync of all your songs is taking too long, try syncing part of the Library (say one or two genres) the first time, a further part the second time and so on. After all, with a Library that large, manually managing the iPod will be a source of torture.

  • "setup wants to make changes" keeps popping up stopping installation from starting

    Hi there,
    having trouble installing a trial of Adobe Premiere, every time i try to start the installation a security popup window appears saying:
    "Setup wants to make changes. type your password to allow this"
    i enter my password, box goes away, then reappears.
    Im definitely entering password correctly as it says i don't if i don't!
    my account is Admin, have tried the other account on the mac, have tried creating a new account, tried numerous restarts, tried downloading a different trial.
    Same problem!!!
    please help as i can find nothing in my searches... which suggests this isn't a common problem i was expecting it to be!
