With muliple devices, how do I see what my kids are texting without them seeing mine?

I have multiple devices. My kids just received 4th generation ipod touch, and I am able to see their texts, but I don't want them to see mine. What do I need to do?

Give them each their own individual email addresses that are tied with your own Apple ID. You add email addresses to your account using the online Apple ID Manager.
https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
Then under Settings -> Messages -> Receive At add in those same additional email adddresses on your own iOS device.
Then on their devices, make sure the only email address set up for receiving iMessages is their own.

How can I monitor what my kids are searching on the internet and chats with their iphones

Can I monitor from my iphone what my kids are searching on their iphones

Hello Fellows2014,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains helpful advice concerning parental controls:
iOS: Understanding Restrictions (parental controls)
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4213
You can enable Restrictions, also known as parental controls, on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. Restrictions stop you from using specific features and applications. Learn more about the types of Restrictions and how to enable or disable them on your device.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

Can I view what my kids are texting?

Can anyone answer this question for me?

Ask them for their phone - and view their texting. Short of that, no. Not without a court order. How old are the "kids"?

How do I determine what 4 computers are authorized to download content from my account?

How do I determine what 4 computers are authorized to download content from my account? I need to manage what computers are authorized.

You can only see a count of how many computers are authorised, you can't see a list of them. If the computers are also associated to your account (e.g. you've used iTunes Match, automatic downloads, or redownloaded past purchases on them) then they might also show in the 'manage devices' section of your account on your computer's iTunes (Store > View Account menu option): Manage your associated devices in iTunes - Apple Support
You can also, once every 12 months, log into account on your computer's iTunes (Store > View Account) and deauthorise all computers and then reauthorise the computers (which you can only do directly on them) that you still have and need.

I have very little space left on the hard drive on my macbook, on my storage report it says "other" is taking up more than two thirds of the space on the hardrive. How can I identify what these files are?

Hello,
There is free software you can download that gives you a graphical image of what files are used on your hard drive. http://www.derlien.com/
This may help you clean down your hard drive for more space.
Best of luck

I have just updated my plug in & add ons, but they are several that say to research. How do I know what plug ins are necessary for mozilla to run properly. I really don't want a bunch of unnecessary downloads on my computer

None are '''''necessary''''' to use Firefox, but some parts of some web pages aren't going to work without a specific plugin being installed.

How do I verify what add ons are paid for in my account

HT4962 Any ideas how to get my software updated on my IPOD 3rd Generation when my computer times out? I have tried several times and it appears to take 30 plus hours. How Frustrating, not to mention the kids are too!

If the iTunes purchases are not in your iTunes library you can redownload them by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If you restore from backup, not that synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup and thus if those items are not in the iTunes library they can't be restored to the iPod during the latter part of the restore process.

My ipod touch 3rd gen doesnt work on usb charger but on dock it says "Charging is not supported with this device" How do I fix it?

I'm taking it in to get it looked at but will they cover this? And is there a way to fix it before I take it in. I'm still under the 1 year warranty plan. My friend said that they might exchange it. It's a 64GB and I use it for a lot of things like my picture, music, contacts, and email. It's got scratches on the back but other wise its ok the screen isn't cracked or scratched.
I have a usb charger for it but when I plug it into the PC or my wall charger it won't charge. It just says "Charging is not supported with this device". It even says that sometimes when it's not charging. But it works on a dock station like my clock or radio.
Also my home buttom won't work unless I press down real hard. This scares me because I'm afraid I wil persss it too hard and break it even more.
Please help.

- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Can I Turn off iMessage in a group text with multiple people with different devices? There's 1 person in the group text that doesn't use iPhone anymore and they can't see any messages that are sent unless we send as regular text individually.

Is there a way to turn off iMessage for a group text that includes multiple people with different non-apple devices? When a message is sent, only the iPhone users can see the iMessage. Those without them cannot see the texts unless we send individual Text Messages or turn off iMessage completely.

now I have this and it still doesn't work.

With iTunes 11 how do you see the size of music or other albums? ie number of tracks and disc space

When attempting to sync my iPhone 4s with the new iTunes 11 i get an error message " cannot sync as need more disc space" however the usage bar on the iphone shows space enough; how can you see the total volume of libraries such as music and films in the new iTunes?

It may be the disc space on your computer, not the phone. In itunes if you click on music, movies, apps, etc it shows the total usage at the bottom of the screen. Good luck.

How do I tell what Plug-Ins are installed on Safari?

The Settings > Safari menu on the iPhone has a switch to turn Plug-Ins on and off, but is no link on the menu to display which Plug-Ins are installed. Is there another way to view/manage Safari Plug-Ins on the iPhone?

Thanks for the confirmation. I tried browsing the local file that would normally display the plug-in information in the full desktop version of Safari, but the handheld version throws a message that it can't display local files.
It would be nice if there were information on line regarding what plug-ins are installed. I can see how they would want to keep tight control over installation and updates, but it would be nice to know what the unit will not work with. Lack of .swf support has already been discovered to be an issue.
