HT2128 I keep on getting updates for Adobe Flash Player.app, are these safe to download?

I keep on getting messages to download updates for Adobe Flash Player.app however, I always get a warning message since it is an application downloaded from the internet and the question "Are you sure you want to open it?" Are these safe to download, or shall I cancel it? Perhaps it is best to go to the Adobe site? Any recommendations? Thank you very much.

It can be easier to remove Adobe Flash Player from OS X entirely, and be done with the effort involved. Adobe has a tool to remove Flash Player from OS X available. (If you really need Flash capabilities, there's a version embedded in the Chrome web browser that might suffice.)
As for your question, if you have gone directly to the Adobe web site (by entering the URL in Safair, and not by clicking on anyting in email or on another web site), and have downloaded Adobe Flash Player updates from there, then you're reasonably safe.
If you've downloaded the Adobe update bits from the Adobe site (and again, not from any other site), then clicking through the "yes, I know I downloaded this" is probably safe.

Want to use parental controls to prevent myself from being able to be on certain websites, but i can't do so on my account because i'm the administrator and parental controls don't work with the administrator. How can i do this?

go on certain websites, but i can't use parental controls on my account because i'm the administrator. How do i prevent access to websites?

Thanks for the reply, BUT --- i can't fool myself. I can make all the other accounts i want, but i'll still be able to get into the admin account and therefore have access to the websites i don't want to have access to. Is there a way to block websites from ALL accounts?

I have icloud on my phone with an apple id that I no longer use. I keep getting asked to enter the password for this ID. However I can't remember the password.
When I try to re-set the password, a e-mail will be send to an address I no longer use and can't access.
I then try to answer the security questions, but the date of births I enter are not accepted
Any ideas?

Welcome to the Apple community.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID, verify the changes, enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone".
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, verify it once again, delete the iCloud account from your device and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

Can i use parental controls restrictions alone or should i purchase 3rd party software

Can I use parental control restrictions alone or should I purchase 3rd party software?

There isn't much 3rd party software can do in the way of parental controls on the iPhone due to the way apps are sandboxed.

How do I install iTunes with a Windows 7 account that uses parental controls?

I have setup a small computer for my daughter to use, running Windows 7 Home Premium. I've enabled Parental Controls through the control panel. So far, I've been unable to install iTunes for her. If I try running the installer as admin, when I try to run iTunes as her, I eventually get a message telling me that itunes64.msi was rejected by the digital signature policy. If I run the installer as her, I get a message saying the system administrator doesn't allow the app to run; I have added the installer to the list of allowed applications. Anyone know how to install iTunes in this case?

Hi mlheidt,
If you are having trouble installing iTunes on your Windows 8 computer you may want to use the following article to help you get it up and running -

Installing/using parental controls on a snow leopard server machine

Here is the question: Is there any way to permanently install parental controls in on a mac mini with Snow leopard server software on it?
My situation:
I manage a computer lab of 40ish computers using Apple Remote Desktop, which does not have any support for parental controls. I have these computers set so that their P.C.s can be remotely managed, but they can only be managed from a machine which has parental controls in the system preferences. I can only manage the P.C.s from one of the other lab computers, which are under student use 90% of the time. The server mac mini did not come with the P.C.s preference pane, and so it is fairly useless on that front.
I have tried various methods of getting around these blocks. I was able to copy the parental controls .prefpane file from one of the lab computers on to the server, and when I ran it, it installed into my server computer and placed the preference pane in System Preferences. For a brief minute I was able to manage the lab computers' P.C.s, but once I restarted System Preferences, the P.C. preference pane disappeared, and will not re-install or anything (I get a "it is not available to you at this time" message).
Is there any way to use the server to manage parental controls?

Hi
+"Is there any way to permanently install parental controls in on a mac mini with Snow leopard server software on it?"+
I don't think so? Besides there's no need for it. Parental Controls is available as a Managed Preference (or MCX) using WorkGroup Manager either at Users, Group or Hardware Level. Launch the application and click on the Preferences icon and you'll see what I mean.

I would like to know how to block a website on all of Firefox, without using parental controls.

I remember some kind of control or perhaps an add on being advertized for one of the recent beta versions of Firefox 4.0 about blocking particular websites from all viewing on Firefox, not just as a parental control. The add-ons I saw are not for 4.0 Beta 12, the version I'm on now. Can anyone steer me to this feature, if it exists? Thank you!

Possibly BlockSite - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/blocksite
This one does not work on Firefox 4 but the developer is working on a new version.
You could use the Windows HOSTS file to block sites - http://allthingsmarked.com/2006/08/28/howto-block-websites-using-the-hosts-file

HT2900 Setup allowed websites using parental controls

Any suggestions for which specific websites I could allow for my elementary aged child? I see in the parental control content area I can list specific websites, however, I don't want to limit too much. She will use this for school and educational and creative pursuits.

It sounds like you already know how to configure the registry, so follow the suggestion above. Basically do this:
Set up trust via the UI in an installed application.
Open the Wizard.
Go to Registry.
Drag the registry from the configured app to the new installer (Destination Computer).

Cannot block TV show content using parental controls

Please help.

Hey there,
Did you put a check mark next to "Restrict Explicit Content" to see if that does anything?

TS2972 "select share" of home share on itunes - is home share an all or nothing share? Is there a way to use parent controls to share some portions with children's iphones?

Is home share an all or nothing selection, or is there a way to "select share" with children's 5c iphones. Parent control feature to home share?
Thanks in advance!

I can't promise this works as I haven't tested this however on every iOS Device in the Settings app under General & Restrictions you have the ability to restrict a ton of options.
Here's my two cents which you could try:
On the iOS Device go to settings -> General -> Restrictions
Go to the Music section, the TV Shows section, & Movies Section and select the appropriate rating you want your kids to have access to.
After setting this up try accessing the home sharing and see if the content you want blocked still shows up on their devices.
If the content still shows up then:
On iTunes on your PC or Mac find the content you wish to block (Home Movies, Movies, TV Shows, Music, etc)
Right click on the items you want blocked and change the rating (for example to R or NC-17).
I haven't tried this myself however on paper at least I think it should work. If it does please report back and let everyone know and congrats on the new phones

Using parental controls to log embedded video

Is there any way to set up the parental controls to log the videos watched in an embedded video player on a web page? Youtube will show suggested content after a video is watched which can ultimately lead to content that I would want to monitor. Is there any way to do with with the existing parental controls?

Okay. Then your problem is just what you wrote: parental controls won't properly log out an account unless the user is there to handle onscreen dialogs. Sorry, I have no fix.
Another problem related to this is that OS X can't log into one shared asset as two different users at the same time, so it can't log the second user in properly. Sorry, but there's no fix for that either. It's on the buglist, but it has been for some time.

Why is there an error 107 SSL connection when using parental controls and accessing webmail?

All browsers (Safari, Firefox, Chrome) do not allow my parentally controlled child to access gmail accounts. Putting the gmail website address in the permitted websites doesn't make them accessible.

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

Trying to use grid control to get historic file system information

Hi.
I need to get the file system historical information for a year. I need to be able to say how in the past year such and such a file system has increased in space etc.
I am using OEM Grid Control. I have been trying to find this information this way:
Home/Local File Systems/click on specific file system and then View Data for one year.
Trouble is, this bview is more visual than statistical. I need hard figures!
Is this the right way? Should I try another approach? This must be a common request?
Oracle 10.2.0
DA
Thank you.

Querying the tables/views inside OEM Grid Control (GC) Repository - the database - may help. By default, GC stores information into tables owned by SYSMAN and aggregates the information on a pre-defined schedule, like first week, first month, first year, etc depends on the definition. So you might not find some details of the historical information.
Try mgmt$metric_daily to get the numbers. You would need target_guid from mgmt$target to pinpoint the server.
Not sure 100% all details you are looking for, which will determine the metrics to query. But anyway here is a simple example. Hope it helps. The Oracle documentation has more details.
SELECT metric_name,metric_column,
TO_DATE(TO_CHAR(rollup_timestamp,'YYYY-MM-DD'), 'YYYY-MM-DD') AS month_timestamp,
maximum value
FROM mgmt$metric_daily
WHERE target_guid='......'
AND metric_label = 'Storage Summary'
AND metric_column = 'local_fs_used'
