MacBook Pro Parental control

Greetings,

My son has a laptop MacBook Pro 13 "computer retina and I'm trying to limit access.  I want to use Parental controls, but I don't want to give him an administrator account.

However, I still want to give him the ability to install software applications / without an admin account (so it cannot disable parental controls).

Any suggestions much appreciated.

Hello, you can find a solution in this article Mac OS X 10.5, 10.6: content on the Internet filtering parental controls - Apple Support

  • Can't stop Macbook Pro

    I can't stop my MacBook Pro (El Capitan 10.11.6). 2015   I usually hold the power button to set up a dialogue allowing me to sleep, restart or shutdown.  But it does not work.   Then I clicked on the Apple logo at the top left and choose the following several times, stop, reboot, logout.   Nothing has worked.

    Then I tried using the following key sequence:

    Command + Option + ESC

    And then selected Finder-> force quit (as well as Safari-> force quit)

    I also tried

    Command + control + Option + power button / stop

    But that did nothing either.

    Others supporting them and now the power button long enough to sharply cut power - I'm out of options.  If anyone can suggest that a better way let me know.

    Thank you!

    By chance I discovered how do I restart my MacBook Pro

    Control-command + power

    In my view, that there is a similar keysequence to the MacBook to sleep (which is how I found the above).

    Interestingly, after the reboot of the MacBook a bunch of applications I used were with open windows and everything.   This was not the case while I was trying to stop my MacBook.   No application window is open (what you could see anyway).  So, which made me feel that something has been made a blunder in and preventing the normal shutdown or restart.

    One last thing to add.

    What started all this was not be able to eject a disk of my camcorder SD.   I went to the internet for advice on connected eject that wouldn't eject.  One idea was to close your session by pressing the Apple logo in the upper left corner and a disconnect.  I did - but it seemed things went eventually kind of weird.    Hard to tell if the disc is ejected was the actual cause or if it was the fact that I had a lot of application windows open all night.   (I'm trying not to do)

    In any case, my question seems to have disappeared.   But, if anyone has anything to add to make a little light on the subject then do not hesitate to comment.

  • I set up the new user on my MacBook Pro with the parental control, and I want to allow access to Word, Excel, PowerPoint for Mac.  I have those checked in the dialog box list, but they may not appear in its applications. Am I missing something?

    I set up a 'user' for my son and use parental controls.  I want to him to have access to Word for Mac, and it appears in the list of applications I can check to allow use for.  However, when we opened a session under his username, these applications do not seem to be anywhere.  When you configure new users, applications such as Word for Mac or the available Pages on users?  I can't find any information to help in this regard.  I don't know if I'm missing something under user put up, or parental controls, or both.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    These requests should be made available, provided you installed then in the folder/applications, not in a private folder ~/Applications for a specific user.

  • Place the Parental control over the Admin account

    I use a Macbook Pro with El Capitan 11.1 2012

    Today, I put Parental controls on my admin account, which resulted in the managed account. I can now use my normal administrator username / combo of password to remove it. I tried everything I found on the Internet, including into single user mode and create a new account to change to leave, but the code didn't work in my case.

    I was wondering if there is any easy solution or new thoughts there for this OS...

    Also why it not easier? Or at least a warning? Looks like Apple could have come up with something after that it was produced for the years.

    Please take these steps to restore the privileges on your account. This somewhat tedious procedure is only necessary if you have verified that no work administrator account exists on the system.

    If you do not already have a current backup of all your data, you must back up before taking any of the steps below. Ask if you need advice. You won't need the backup unless something goes wrong, which is always possible.

    Step 1

    Start in recovery mode. The OS X Utilities appears.

    Step 2

    This step only if you use FileVault 2. Start utility disk, then select the icon for the volume FileVault startup ("Macintosh HD", unless you have given it a different name.) It will be nested under another icon of the disc. Click the Open button in the toolbar and enter your login password when you are prompted. Then quit disk utility must be returned to the main screen.

    Step 3

    Select

    Utilities ▹ Terminal

    in the menu bar. In the window that opens, type this:

    resetp

    Press the tab key. The partial order you entered will automatically end this:

    resetpassword

    Press return. Opens a window to reset the password. Select your boot if not already done volume. Pull down the menu option

    Select the user account

    and select

    Administrator (root)

    Follow the prompts to set a password. It is safer to choose a password that includes only the characters a - z, A - Z and 0-9. I suggest that you write the password. If you don't write it down and forget about it, you will start again at step 1.

    Select

     ▹ Reboot...

    in the menu bar.

    Step 4

    This step, as step 2, applies only if you use FileVault. Sign up as usual, then select

     ▹ Disconnect...

    from the menu bar or press shift-command-Q key combination. Do not restart. You go back to the login screen.

    Step 5

    On the login screen, click on the other... Enter 'root' (without the quotes) in the name field and the password set in step 3 in the password field. You should now be logged in as root. It is a potentially dangerous situation. Do nothing by being logged in as root except as indicated below. You'll be fine as long as you don't dismiss the plan.

    Open the preferences users and groups window. Select your usual administrator account from the list of users and check the box marked

    Allow the user to administer this computer

    You will be prompted to restart. Do this and log in as yourself, not as root. Your administrator status should now be restored.

    Step 6 (optional, but recommended)

    Follow the instructions in this article to support under the title "disable the root user. You must authenticate in directory utility as a 'root' with the password set in step 3. As another administrator authentication will not work.

  • Sound is gone on my Macbook Pro. The icon is grey after trying to download a password security app Help!

    Sound is gone on my Macbook Pro. The sound icon went gray. This followed two downloads of password security applications and then deleted. The third I have kept and entered my password. If I go into the Time Machine to restore the system will delete the security of password I put in place after the last Time Machine backup?

    Thank you for your willingness to get out me of trouble!

    Hi Vincent,.

    I understand that you are no longer able to control the audio output on your Mac after installing a few different security applications. If you want to use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac at one point before installing these applications, it is absolutely an option. However, keep in mind that this kind would remove, indeed, any changes made after the point of this backup, including installation and configuration of said software.

  • Is 6200 RPM under normal conditions of Macbook Pro?

    Hi all

    Greetings for the day...

    Normally, I do not play games and it was the first time, I downloaded Dirt 3 on my MacBook Pro model no of retina and noticed that during the game, temp has risen about 75 and the fan speed was so fast it was audible. As I SCM fan control, I just checked my fan speed, he looked at 6200 rpm, is - it normal like playing games or is there any concern that I need to worry?

    Thanks for your help... Bravo!

    Games often is resources intensive applications and will focus on the CPU/GPU to create heat.  What you are experiencing seems to be normal.  Fans will accelerate in order to dissipate the heat, so the speed of 6200 RPM is not unusual.  temperature of 75 ° c, but on the high side, is well below the limits of functioning "normal" for the resource intensive applications.

    According to the parameters that you said, there is nothing unusual.

    Ciao.

  • MacBook Pros overheating because Mac OS Sierra

    My end of 2014 MacBook pro 13-inch has been overheating since the installation of Sierra. 10 minutes, it's warmer than normal, 20 minutes, too hot to get on your knees. Open and run a partition with el capitan don't cause overheating after about an hour. Does anyone else have this problem? Fan control SMC said it is running at 137 degrees fahrenheit.

    The problem is related to the old system that you updated, no Sierra. A possible problem is if SMC fan control is compatible with the Sierra.

  • Siri is disabled by the Parental control on macOS Sierra admin account

    I just installed macOS Sierra today on my 13 "Mac Book Pro (early 2011). I have only one user account that is an administrator account. Siri is not enabled on my machine. When I go to the Siri system preferences screen, it says that "Siri is disabled by Parental control. Hmmm, when I check the Parental control screen, it says "you logged in using an administrator account." You can only apply parental controls to accounts that are not administrator accounts. »

    What happens here?

    Same problem here. Updated for Sierra of El Capitan on MacBookPro 15 "(mid - 2014).

    Even if I toggle the checkbox on the Parental control > others > disable Siri & dictation I can't activate Siri, the checkox is always gray and the alert says "Siri is disabled by Parental control.

    Siri is enabled if I login as a burst, but I need it on my Admin account of course. Very annoying.

  • 2011 15 "Macbook pro more low ram slot machine does not work. 3 beeps every time I start up my Mac.

    Hey guys,.

    Then Ive met this weird problem with my mac. While I was using the Mac at work for like 4 hours without interruption and then when it was time to go home, I just put the screen down and put the Mac to sleep. When I opened the Mac at home, he started with 3 beeps and it wouldn't start.

    After having panic for like half an hour, so I decided to take google on this issue. I found many queries, but nothing like mine. So I opened the back panel of the Macbook, deleted the two Rams and re-sitting (like one of the posts on google said to do) twice but it still did not work. I took off the piston down and tried to turn on a single cylinder high and it worked.

    A bit of history, Apple had this quality control program where all 2011 Macbook pros affected by a defective video card can have their logic boards changed for free by taking it to apple. My macbook was one of them and apple genius guys changed the logic board. Long and behold, after six months the lower slot of Bank ram has stopped working. My question is, can I use the Apple since its only six months, and if I order a new Board of the logic on their part, what are the chances that this will not happen?

    Any past experiences you guys could share to help me would be greatly appreciated.

    This is a user to user forum.  We are not employees of Apple.  Some users like you.  You will need to ask your question directly from the horses mouth.
