Who else has a problem with parental controls enabled not being able to run Firefox on the Mac?

Who else has a problem with parental controls enabled not being able to run Firefox on the Mac? (Any solutions?) (BTW. Chrome doesn't work either)

Although FF4 is so nice I'm almost ready to ditch iGoogle!
Please fix what appears to be an RSS/iGoogle issue with FF4...
Gmail is fine, but titles dont show in most RSS feed gadgets and no stories, strangely, apart from this one:
http://www.google.com.au/ig/directory?hl=en&url=www.google.com/ig/modules/builtin_news_technology.xml
Which if you enter the last part of the url reports that
"<Content type="html">
This is a builtin module, so the UserPrefs and Content are ignored."
Any ideas?

  • I recently upgraded to iTunes 11.1.5 and now my iPod Nano is not recognized in iTunes. I also upgraded my iPhone 5s to iOS 7.1. i Tunes on my computer does recognize my iPhone. What is the problem with my iPod Nano not being recognized?

    I would think, Twins1995, that if we are having the problem, others are as well. Hopefully, Apple will shortly issue a follow-up software release to fix the problem. Or is that just wishful thinking on my part.
    It would be helpful, if there were some kind of work-around in the interim, so we can use our devices. Pretty frustrating when you consider that all of the hardware and software is produced by Apple.

  • Webpage loading is very slow with parental controls enabled

    Hello, 
    My kids were complaining about slow webpage loading (~2 min page) and how they can't do their homework.  I am running Lion (10.7.2) and using latest safari (or firefox)  on a new imac. (4GB).  After a few hours of searching and reading I created two new accounts, one with and one without minimal parental control enabled.  Sure enough, easily recreated the problem, so it is nothing(?) that my kids did to their accounts.  I have tried toggling the parental controls back to no internet site restrictions without changing the browser response.  Thanks for any help.

    i did it many times and the same problem exists

  • Safari "Can't connect to server" with parental controls enabled

    Safari says "Can't connect to server" when my childrens' accounts have parental controls enabled. Is there a way to enable parental controls on the administer's account??

    Hi and welcome....
    Unfortunately, Parental Controls can only be enabled on a non admin account.
    See if there's a proxy set up for Safari. From the Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Advanced tab. Click "Change Settings" next to: Proxies.
    That will launch System Preferences / Network - Proxies.
    If there are any boxes checked under: Select a protocol to configure, deselect the box then click Ok.
    Quit Safari (Command + Q) then relaunch Safari.
    See if Safari can connect in a parental controlled user account.

  • TS3367 FaceTime has a problem with calling (audio, video) between two devices when they are in the different networks.

    Hi,
    I have a problem with calling by FaceTime when me and my friend are in the different networks.
    When i call to another device I see this call on that device and tap to the answer button after that i see a message "connecting" but the first device is trying to call in during about 1 minute and finish the call.
    But if both of the devices have connected to the one network (wifi) it works correct.

    Actually, it started working fine when I told it to capture
    sound at 11kHz.. I should have tried that first, before making a
    fuss here, sorry. Looks like some weird glitch, a driver problem
    maybe, but anyway, switching to 11kHz seems to have solved
    it.

  • I want to be able to run firefox on one Mac with its window displayed on another (using X11?), can I do this?

    I have an Apple Mac (running MacOS 10.6.8) at a remote location. I want to be able to run Firefox on this machine but with the Firefox display window redirected to my local Mac. I used to be able to do this with UNIX (e.g. LINUX etc.) systems running X11 by setting the DISPLAY variable on the remote host. Is it possible to do this using the X11 on the Mac? and, if so, do I need to rebuild Firefox to display using X11? At the moment, whatever I try, Firefox just starts its window on the system on which it is started.

    Dear finitarry,
    The X windows system was developed in the 1980s at MIT (I seem to remember that it was called X because it was based on a window system developed for use on Xerox graphics terminals). X11 is used by Unix based devices to control their windows, so is used by Linux (a free version of Unix), but is not part of it. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to post this query on a MacOS forum.
    Cheers
    Phil

  • I'm wondering if anyone else has had problems with their imac fans being extremely loud when running at slow speeds?  When the computer heats up enough for the fans to run at higher speeds they quiet down. New HD fan was just installed.

    I have an imac that I've had for a couple years.  The fans have always been loud when running at the slower speeds.  When the computer heats up enough for the fans to run at a higher speed the fans quiet down.  I had installed SMC fan control after multiple attempts with Apple to get the fan issue resolved.  That seemed to keep the fans quiet enough.  I've never had a problem with overheating.  Recently the fans were becoming loud again even running at the slightly higher speeds so I took it to my local Apple store and they replaced the hard drive fan.  I got it back and it's now as loud or louder than ever!!  And, now SMC fan control won't "stick."  The fans will speed up, but then gradually go back to the lower "loud" levels.  I'm at a loss as to what to do next. 

    Thanks jared,
    I'm still dealing with this issue through Apple. Some time after I posted this, I contacted Apple again. They did start a case up for me, as I was experiencing the same behavior on two different machines, with two different versions of Windows.
    So far it remains unsolved. I've logged iClouds for Windows on my desktop, which is brand new, then logged for awhile after completely uninstalling Norton Security Suite, depending on the Microsoft security for some time, and finally logged after I uninstalled iCloud for Windows, restarted, installed a clean download, and connected using a completely different test account, which Apple set up for me. None of this made any difference. Looking at the logs, it seems every 10 minutes, iCloudServices.exe creates a new TCP connection to confirm I'm using less than 5GB on iCloud, (which I am by a good margin, using less than 2GB), it seems this connection is not closed, and when the next iteration rolls around 10 minutes later, a new TCP connection is created. I come very close to having 6 TCP connections created per hour, until I restart my computer. This works out to... 6 x 24 = 144/day.
    Perhaps the article you posted will shed some further light on this. I'm thinking seeing the state of the connection through netstats, at the least, could help.
    For the last week, I've been putting a hold on further logging, as Apple wants me to create a new user account on one of my computers, install iCloud for Windows there, and log it running in the other account. This however basically means I cannot use my computer for a fair number of hours, and I've been busy enough with work the past week that I haven't the time or energy to afford to set this up and run it. I've had need of my computers too much for the past week.

  • Someone else has a problem with volume button getting stuck?

    My volume button gets stuck when I keep pressing it, it's software or hardware issue?

    Restore as new, if that fixes the problem it is something in your settings or backup that was causing the issue.
    If it does not fix the problem, you have a hardware issue.

  • With parental controls on, (OS X 10.5.8) Firefox will not submit a password correctly

    in a lab of 10.5.8 computers, generic local login student account when using firefox to access carnegie online learning site will not submit the school code correctly. When typed in (actually no matter what you type in, correct code or not), the last two characters are changed to Pr. As in coupeville becomes coupevilPr and it is rejected. Works OK with admin or managed privileges. Works OK with OS 10.4 parental controls. Firefox 3.6.13.

    I've found a fix - it's all explained in this article.
    If the page gets deleted: the fix is to add 127.0.0.1 port 10010 as HTTP & SSL proxy (SOCKS5) in FF. This uses the Parental Controls proxy server (which provides filtering).

  • ITunes Match not showing up with parental controls enabled

    I have an Apple TV 2nd gen with the 5.0 software update, and am having trouble getting iTunes Match to show up when parental controls are enabled. Even with iTunes Match specifically set to "Show" in the parental controls menu, it won't show up unless I also enable Rentals and Purchases, which I don't want. Any ideas?

    I'm stumped, I tried it on my own ATV for a lark and came up with the same result.

  • How do I stop the "attempted to access these secure websites" popup with parental controls enabled?

    This makes parental controls almost unusable.  Nearly every website tries to access numerous other domains that are not in my whitelist.  Is there any way to just stop all prompts to add items to the whitelist?  It could remain static and just block everything and I'd be happy (kind of thought that was the purpose of parental controls and whitelisting to begin with).  Young kids have no idea what to do with these windows popping up.
    Thanks!

    I imagine it would prompt for an admin account and then if I authenticated it would be added to the white list and that specific site would then receive requests (e.g. not prompt again); however...
    a) that would only stop prompting for that specific site and this issue would recur with each request to a new domain that occurs down the line
    b) the point of parental controls is that I want to allow my child relatively unsupervised access to the system, that would require I be in the vicinity to authenticate and add each new request
    c) there are likely domains that I would NOT want whitelisted just due to some background request (ad networks, large domains that may otherwise serve up inappropriate content, etc...).
    I think I get where you are coming from (and not trying to shoot the messenger here) I just think that teaching them to agree to the message would not be a good solution.  This seems to be a pretty big gap in Apple's implementation and apparantly can only be addressed by them.
    Thank you!
