Why are web browsers not controlled by restrictions?

When you turn off Safari in restrictions it apparently doesn't really matter since most apps have built in web browsers (really, as I understand it they are calling mobile safari) but why doesn't Apple just have that restricted when Safari the "app" is turned off? It makes it silly to even allow Safari to be turned off if it isn't a system wide event. I can't see this as a major problem to remedy since I assume most app developers are calling a specific API, so just have that API restricted so parental controls actually work.
For instance if you turn on restrictions but have Evernote installed (or Twitter, or just about any other app) there is usually a way to get to a web page via the about screens because they include mobile safari. I understand not off loading these things to Safari (well in Twitter's case, Evernote's was a bit sloppy) but again this should be controlled inside restrictions via turning off mobile Safari.
Thanks,

  • Why are web images not loaded on Safari?

    In many cases, as I open my Safari browser most web sites are not showing any image or picture. This happens for example for:
    - Google MAPS
    -  airbnb.com
    I have tried many times to empty cache and restart Safari, but it does't work at all. The same behaviour happens on Chrome browser.
    I've got a MacBook Air 11' (End 2010) with OS X Lion. Even with Leopard I had the same issue.

    Could this be a Flash issue.  Is Flash installed on your machine?
    I believe the Air does not come with Flash installed so you have to install it yourself.

  • Why are my browsers not working properly?

    I have Chrome, Safari and Firefox installed on my iMac but for the last three weeks all three of them are malfunctioning.  Some pages will not open at all, some will open but with no pictures.  Some of the sites mainly affected seem to be Fox News, Facebook, DrudgeReport plus others.  Has me baffled.  Thanks in advance for any insight you can give me.

    Please complete your profile, at the very least we need to know what version of OS X is installed on the computer. You can edit your profile by clicking Your Stuff in the upper right of this page then clicking Profile and edit as needed.
    If you are running SL or Lion the problem may be that Adobe Flash is not installed. It doesn't sound like you have done any troubleshooting so in Safari please click Safari-Empty Caches and Safari-Reset Safari.

  • Why are the iPhotos not listed in the finder?

    why are the iPhotos not listed in the finder?

    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:   You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    (Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps.  If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
    For users of 10.6 and later:  You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation  which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
    Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    Show File:  a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier:  Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.    3.b.
    b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

    No, once a user has been created, you can't run Setup Assistant  (without erasing and reinstalling).
    What do you recommend for fixing this?
    Here's what's happened: 
    When you first start up a Mac and create the first user account, OSX assigns it UID (User ID) #501.  The next one gets #502, etc.  Those UIDs (not the user name) are what control permission to files.
    You can see those numbers via System Prefs > Users & Groups;  click the padlock and enter your Admin password, then select an account and right-click it, and select Advanced Options.  Do not change anything on that window.
    So . . . assume your old iMac had a user 501 with the data you want; it's identified that way on the backups.
    When the Apple Store started up your new Mac, and created their account, it became #501.
    When you used Migration Assistant to transfer the 501 account from the iMac's backups, OSX copied everything there "as is" except it had to change the 501 to 502. 
    The new 502 account has all the right permissions to things now in it's home folder, but the backups belong to user 501.
    Have you added much to the Mac since you did the migration?  Have you done any new backups?  If not, while it's a bit of a hassle, one fix would be to create yet another user account temporarily.  Make it an Admin account.  Log on to it and delete all the other accounts.  Then migrate the accounts from your backups; this time there won't be a conflict, so OSX won't have to change the UUID(s).
    But if you have done new backups, this won't work, since Migration Assistant automatically uses the most recent backup.  There's a way around that, but it's a bit (or more) tedious.
    Clear as mud? 

  • Why are these Webservices not supported in VC ?

    Hi all,
    I am using NW04s SP9, and I plan to make MDM-Application with VC.
    Therefore I introduced MDM-WebService into NW and defined it on VC.
    but "searchRecords" of "MDMSearchRecords" was displayed with "Not supported"
    in the right frame .
    Mmm...
    So I decided to think from a beginning.
    [http://www.27seconds.com/Holidays/US/USHolidayService.asmx?wsdl|http://www.27seconds.com/Holidays/US/USHolidayService.asmx?wsdl]
    I defined above it on VC and I used "Getholidaydate" .
    Good! .
    However,,, "Getholidaysforyear" was also "Not supported".
    Why are these methods "Not supported" ? .
    and how will come to be usable these methods in VC? .
    Thanx in advance.
    Regards,
    k.sugimoto.

  • Why sun leader do not think about  "Why Java Web Start not be used widely"

    {color:#ff0000}Why sun leader do not think about "Why Java Web Start not be used widely"
    {color}
    Java Web Start was instruduced in jdk1.2, it's about ten years ago,But it's still not widely used--WHY?
    it's not because the design, it's becasue the code--the garbage code-- even the last version not work in many user computers,
    just not work suddendly -- noboday know reason--- if you do not believe, please google internet, many people suffered and suffering from web start!
    It's incredible that a famous big company like sun can not resolve an deployment problen in ten years that some very small company can do good work in much more short time !!!
    That' sun-- always say and design good things, then publish trouble and pain to their users. I really do not know what the sun's engineers are doing in so
    many years! -- why they do not know deployment is so important than others -- if deployment work fine, then the wrong thing can be correct easy !
    Sun, please do an famous big company -- give happy to user rather than pain !!! Please give us -- your users an stable and fast java web start to save us.
    {color:#ff6600}(Note: I use java web start to depoly our application, then receive endless complains, not work, slow and so on. now, we has no way just to give it up--design ourself's deployment-- that's also done by many pained people---just google it){color}
    Here is an desing suggestion:
    Client-end should be simple and stable, should let the server-end do complex thing .(now sun do opposite thing, they make Client-end complex, but server simple) ---it's because that Client-end will take widely effect on user's computer. update a few server is much more easy then update a amount of clients!

  • I've just started using the App Tabs. I think this feature could be handy but why are the sites not updated when I start Firefox. Now I have to manually update the site which is somewhat of a downer. Does any of you know where I'm going wrong?

    To answer the post title FireFox save all downloads automatically in the download folder, which you can find in the Documents folder. If you want to choose where to save your downloads go to tools>options>check always ask me where to save files.
    Secondly, I am assuming you have IE 8 installed as this is the only version that supports this fix that is currently not in beta. Go to control panel>internet options>advanced tab and reset the settings at the bottom. This may or may not fix the problem but it is a good first step.

  • Why are animated gifs not displaying animations in the preview?

    Why are animated gifs not displaying animations in the preview?
    My coworkers and I are not seeing a animation in the preview pane in Adobe Bridge CS6 even when clicking the play button in the preview window. However, we do see a graphic of the first frame and one person sees 1 frame when clicking play and one other frame and then the animation stops, however, that is not the complete animation.
    I'm using Windows 7 32 bit
    My coworkers are using a mac.
    One coworker has apple OS Mountain Lion with a Intel Quad-Core Xeon – 64 bit system.
    Is this fixable or in the works as a patch? Otherwise we have to open these docs in a browser in order to view them properly.

    I've just come to the realization that some animated gifs do play fine and others do not. A coworker of mine suggests that if it's an animation made via Adobe Photoshop, it'll work in bridge but will not if it's made using something else.

  • Disc Burner. Why are some files not readable or writeable?

    Hello,
    I am trying to backup my friends computer files on a beige G3 (233 MHz). I am burning about 6 DVDs of AIF music files. Most of the files are about 30 - 40 Megs in size. Often I receive error messages on particular files that read:
    "The operation cannot be completed because some data cannot be read or written.
    (Error code - 36)"
    Followed by the choices: "Stop" or "Continue".
    I have a bad feeling that my startup disk is too small but I am not sure.
    Most of the files work fine. However some of the files cause disc burner to not be able to use them in the disc image before I burn. Why would this be?
    Here are the specifications:
    Computer: beige G3 with two hard drives (one SCSI and one ATA hard drive) and a Pioneer DVR-110D DVD writer which is Apple supported (Apple system profiler indicates Apple supported on this DVD writer). My blank DVD disks are Sony Vermatim DVD-R (1 - 16x speed support). Although I think my beige G3 only writes them at about 2 or 4x.
    I am using OS 10.1.5. My startup disk which has OS 10.1.5 in it is a 4 GIG SCSI disk. Is this big enough for a startup disk (for creating 4.5 GIG DVDs)? My files are on the second hard drive which is a 40 GIG ATA disk.
    I have a bad feeling that my OSX startup drive is too small for disk burning - it is only 4 GIGs in total and OSX Disc burner (Disc copy) is first making a disk image on my startup volume before it burns it. Perhaps that disk image is too large for the startup volume. Is there any way I could ask OSX to put this disk image on the second larger hard drive instead (not the startup drive?).
    Here is my process (I hope I am doing this right - I am new at this):
    1. I first insert a blank DVD-R
    2. A message pops up asking my if I would like to create a blank disc image for this disk (I think this is the typical Disk Copy utility window. I say "yes" and give it a name and choose the "DVD-R or DVD-RAM" option. (I am not sure if there are other important settings to choose here or better settings to use but I guessed the other options that seemed obvious. A blank disk image is created with an icon that looks like a DVD disk.
    3. Then I drag my chosen files to this blank disc image. It takes about 30 minutes to copy over. Thats when I receive the error message that some files couldn't be "read or written". The other files work fine but it would be nice if they all worked.
    Why would some files not be readable or writeable?
    4. Then I choose file/burn in the top menu and the DVD is created. This takes another 20 - 30 minutes. At the very end of the process another message pops up saying:
    "Sorry the operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occured (error code -28)" Followed by an "OK" button.
    However all the files that made it onto the final DVD are fine - its just that its not all of the ones I originally chose in the first step when dragging to create the disk image.
    Am I doing this the right way?
    Why are some files not "readable or writeable" as it indicates in the error message?
    Is my 4 GIG startup disk too small for this? or are the music files possibly corrupt? or could there be some other possible problem?
    Thanks

    To follow up, I have some good news. After following your advice Kappy, it now works very well Thanks! Instead of using the 4 GIG volume for the OS, I am now using an 8 GIG partition on an 80 GIG drive. So now the OS has some room to operate. No disk errors occured on my first DVD
    Now there was one problem. The second DVD burned gave me an error. I am not sure why but I am going to guess that because I had to installed the OS onto an 8 GIG partition maybe the OS needs to be rebooted in between disk burns because although 8 GIGs is certainly greater than the 4 GIGs I gave it last time, it still isn't a lot of space - maybe just enough to do one DVD at a time. Thats only a guess. So I rebooted to see if that clears the system out ready for the next DVD and I am trying to burn the second DVD again. If I remember I will report back. In any case, yes, this seems to be working. I hope this second DVD burns well too.
    Thanks Kappy

    Why are my emails not deleting from all devices when deleted from one?  I have iCloud mail set up and turned on. I have ipad2, iPhone 5 and a Mac desktop. What am I doing wrong?  Thank you.

    It depends on the type of email account you are using, not on iCloud.  If you are using an IMAP or exchange account, when you delete from one device, it is deleted from all devices.  If you are using a POP (POP3) account, it won't.  (iCloud email, Gmail and Yahoo are all IMAP accounts.)
