How to allow children 12 years old to use Skype?

Just spent $ 1,200 on two suface rts.  My 12 year old twins cannot use Skype.  They are under my family account.  Why don't I have the opportunity to authorize their accounts?  It seems that I have the possibility of allowing some 50 other social media but NPT MS belonging to Skype.  How can I fix or how can I return my Surfaces?

  • How can I access my space girls 14 years old, on the main screen on the computer?

    How can I access my space girls 14 years old, on the main screen on the computer? So I can see what she gets up to the computer because I have no way of knowing.  She went totally bananas when I put parental controls on its site.  It has a password.  I am the administrator of computers.  Thank you

    I assume you have no access to the password for the user of your daughter.  As an administrator, you may open the control panel in Win XP and select user accounts.  The options will allow you to change or remove the password of your daughter.  Then you could sign on behalf of your daughter.
    However, who would probably trigger another outbreak of 'bananas', because your daughter will realize that you have changed or deleted her password.  This forum is not how parents react to problems of girl.  However, she is only 14, is YOUR computer and you have good reason to worry about his online activities.

    Hello

    What you can try is to upgrade the Rams and do a clean install of the OS, after you make a backup, but because the unit is old, it is normal to slow down.

  • How will I know if I have the wifi on my windows XP 32 PC that is about 7 years old?

    I just got a huawei Orange, which I connected to my fairly new laptop - my PC is about 7 years old, how can I check it I can get wifi on my PC - it's a Windows XP 32?

    WiFi requires a particular piece of hardware (wireless network adapter).  Assuming that you no longer have the documentation that came with your PC for 7 years, the first thing to do is to open the Device Manager (start > run > devmgmt.msc > OK), click on the + sign to the left of "Network adapters" and to see what devices are listed.

    If the function of a network card is not immediately obvious from its name, Google it.  If you have only one network card (more, perhaps, something with "1394" in its name), chances are that you don't have a wireless network card.

    If you do not have a wireless network card, you can buy a.  Desktop/Tower Computer PC can use a device internal (PCI wireless network adapter), connected by USB models are widely available today.  I suggest you get one with a 'real' antenna, rather one that resembles a drive USB flash (or worse, a "micro" USB flash drive).  Links are examples only, not recommendations.

    My 2 year old somehow gave a password on our computer and now we can get in our office.  Without having to return to the default settings, anyone have a suggestion on how to solve this problem?

    If you have a different user account with administrative privileges, Panel you can connect that account and change the password of your account of origin of the user accounts applet in Control Panel. If you do not have another account like this set upwards or that you do not have the password which you will need to log on to the built-in Administrator account. In XP Home, start the computer in Mode safe. This, by repeatedly pressing the F8 key as the computer starts. This will put you in the right menu. Navigate using your arrow up; the mouse does not work here. Once in safe mode, you will see the normally hidden administrator account. The default password is white.

    In XP Pro, you don't need to go to Safe Mode. In the home screen, do Ctrl-Alt-Del twice to get the classic Windows logon box. Type in "Administrator" and the password that you assigned when you set up Windows.

    Your option is to buy a Windows 10 compatible graphics card, only very rarely a graphic map of the era XP would be appropriate/compatible with Windows 10.

  • Children less than 13 years old sharing family

    I have recently implemented the family sharing to me, my wife and my 12 year old son.  Everything fine until now except the notification disappears boring of an application download request of my son. If I don't have my phone at the time of the request, I have nothing Visual to let me know that he asked to download an application.  The only work around I have found is by physically checking notifications by pulling the bottom of the screen.

    In any case, my question is - once my son turns 13, he will be able to download applications without asking my permission and is there a risk that it can spend my money download paid apps and App purchases?

    It is not enabled by default, but you can keep the ask buy feature until they are 18. Ask and make purchases with Ask to buy - Apple Support

  • How can I allow one of my children to use local applications, while temporarily blocking his access to the Internet and while allowing children to continue to access the Internet?

    I have three children who have separate user accounts on our two computers. Both computers running Windows 7 Home Premium edition. We use Windows Live Family Safety on each computer to our parental controls for defining when and what each child can access. We used the period of parental control feature to block every child signed to computers, except when we allow. (It would be nice if we could block a computer and allow them to use the other.)

    However, I can't find a way to allow a child to not use the computer for local activities (for example, Microsoft Word), while blocking its access to the Internet. I also want to allow his brothers to continue to use the Internet during this time.

    Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Hello

    Windows parental control have no option to directly block access to the internet in a Windows user account, because the system needs to provide activity reports. To work around the problem, you can block all internet browsers available for this user account so that the child have no way to access the internet. Restriction of the app to access the control that installed programs on the computer children.  Here are the detailed steps to block some apps:

    1. on any computer, log on to the parent account for http://fss.live.com

    2. click Edit settings under the name of the child you want to change the settings and then click the App restrictions.

    3. check the circle next to turn on the restrictions of the app.

    4. check all programs related to access to the internet or type the application in the area of Search apps .

    5. check the box next to the application or the program once it appears in the list.

    6. click on Save.

    This settings apply only to that specific user account. If you have any other questions, please let us know.

    Thank you!

  • Essential concepts for an 8 year old budding music producer :)

    Hi all

    I'll take my 8 year old daughter away for a stay of 6 weeks. She sings. I mean she sings throughout the day. Literally never tired of singing... She's still playing the piano but Im thinking this will be a good time to start.

    I want to introduce to Logic pro. The goal is to let her loose with my macbook, logic pro and let her find a way of composing her own songs. IM thinking essentials that I need to pack in my suitcase is as follows:

    1 Macbook with logic installed

    2. Midi keyboard - think a unit Audio M - don't know whether to go 25, 32 or 49 keys

    3 microphone/voice recorder - or not (do not know how well the mac built in microphone works for her)

    4. decent pair of headphones

    Any suggestions for the 2 points. 3. & 4. would be welcome.

    Also, and perhaps more importantly, suggestions on how to introduce the world of music production. Are there notable tutorials out there that would be appropriate for children?

    Your comments are greatly appreciated.

    See you soon

    My only suggestion is, if you really want to teach him how to play the piano, (which is a great idea) get a keyboard 49 keys minimum. In addition, as a music teacher... don't forget that a "keyboard" is far from playing a real piano. However, we can learn the basics of the music on it and use it with computers. Eight-year-old is the ideal time to start, if you think it's promising, get his first lessons of piano and learned to read, play/composing by ear is wonderful, but learn to read music opens worlds of music.  I served as a teacher of jazz guitar at the University here and teach music theory API.

    (My opinion) The most important thing for a young musician (if she is going to be just a hobby or more) is to learn the rudiments of music because of this point, you can go anywhere. (Lady Gaga is a classically trained pianist)

    If you have installed GarageBand, I would start there, (it is built on a subset of logic and all the basics are here) that's a lot for a child of eight years to work with, it allows to display in musical notation (played with the keyboard) MIDI tracks, but also the standard format "piano roll".

I transferred all of my information from my old Mac Mini to my new iMac, retina 4K, 21.5 - inch desktop computer via my Apple, WiFi, and Migration Wizard.

  • My 5 years old Satellite Pro P300-19 q has developed all of a sudden a fault

    Without realizing, I posted the message below on the Forum we Toshiba:

    Hello

    My laptop which is 5 years old and has worked without any problems, has suddenly developed a fault I don't seem to be able to untangle. It starts ok and gets on the screen "Toshiba Leading Technology" and it's not there. Should not or reaction to something. I tried to enter the power on Start menu and pressing the F12 key, it recognizes and says 'Please wait' but nothing happens. It applies to "Configure" button F2 and F8. There is absolutely no response and HDD led light does not illuminate.

    I have not installed or changed anything. It runs Windows 7 and I don't have the recovery disc and the installation CD original W7 but they are useless if I can't access the startup option.

    I also removed the HD and connected by USB connection to my work desk and access all my files and programs, so it doesn't seem to be something wrong with the disc either.

    Can someone offer me some suggestions?

    ___I HAVE HAD THE FOLLOWING RESPONSE_; __

    Looks like you have a corrupted BIOS.

    I recommend asking Toshiba http://pc-support.toshiba-europe.com/ for any help. They got the disc special crisis to retrieve the faulty ROM BIOS module and instructions on how to install it.

    I contacted the technical service of Toshiba UK enclosing the message above but have not heard
    anyone after. Does anyone have information about this recovery disk and where I could get it?

    I also think that the BIOS can be troublemaker in the whole of the situation. When you start your machine, it begins with the verification of low level material and later start to load the operating system preinstalled.
    In your case the laptop is blocked for some reason any on this first step.

    Unfortunately, your options are pretty limited. What you can try is to remove the check and RAM modules and so portable HARD drive will pass this first stage.
    AFAIK the disk of this crisis is for internal use only so I don't know if you will get it somewhere. What you can try is to google a bit and maybe upload it somewhere with specific instructions on its use.

    In the end, I must say that these issues don't occur so often and I have to ask anyway: you may have updated the BIOS or done something that may be responsible for this?

  • How do you connect a (very) old Apple Airport Express to a new Airport Extreme network?

    For Bob Timmons:

    I have 2 old airport expresses, an old and one even older. The network home fled the old Express (connected to a modem), who abandons the connection several times a week. The older Express seems quite dead. What I want to do is to increase wifi coverage in my house (no wifi in the kitchen or the 3rd floor). I buy an Airport Extreme to manage the network, hoping that it would provide wireless coverage in my blind spots. Then I could use the former, Express work next to my stereo to listen to the music of my iMac.

    However: the new airport utility shows but does not interact with my work Express. If I buy one extreme and put in place, how I can add the Express network. I downloaded 5.6.1 (and launcher) Airport utility, but don't know if I can use 6.3.6 to implement extreme and 5.6.1 Configure Express.

    Any thoughts on this would be welcome.

    Sorry, I forgot to ask: even if the Airport 6.3.6 utility on the iMac refuses to 'see' the Express, would be the iPad method you mentioned work with an older Express?

    The model numbers of my expressed are:

    work: A1084

    a death: A1264

    Well, if A1264 is dead, it is the end of the discussion on this model.

    A1084... assuming it works... could probably be used for AirPlay, but the A1084 calls this AirTunes.

    The A1084 is at least 9 years old, probably older and the average useful life of an AirPort Express is about 3-4 years. It is amazing the A1084 to work at all, but school drop-outs you see now with the Express indicates that it is heading for the South, he may not be around much longer.

    If you want to try using the A1084 Express, it can be implemented and administered using an older version of AirPort 5.x on a Mac or a PC utility. No matter which version of AirPort 6.x...or.. utility. AirPort on an iPhone or iPad utility may NOT be compatible with the A1084 Express.

    If you are considering a new AirPort Extreme... and... or buy at Apple, so you have one day 14 return privilege on the product, if it will not do what you want, you can return it for credit or a return.  The older A1084 expected to collaborate with the new AirPort Extreme if you spot a version 5.x of AirPort on a Mac or a PC utility to configure the product.  But... saying "should work" is not the same thing as saying "work"... then it will be one of those moments where you won't know how well... or even if it will work until you try.
