Parental Controls 10.6.8 - not allowing specified websites
Hello! I set up parental controls to 'Allow access only to those sites' and the system is blocking some Web sites, I have authorized (e.g., khanacademy.org and weather.com). How is it? Is it possible to fix it?
Thank you
Dawn
Weather.com is stuffed with ads, and probably blocking is due to advertising websites on their site. Go to http://www.weather.gov which is much more accurate and no advertising.

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.

Parental control: disconnection time does not
I recently created my kids computer with parental control, with the goal being to their ability to use the computer when I'm not around. Overall, the controls seem to work fine (we have Windows 7 starter edition) except when their time has passed. For example, I have a child allowed to 5-6 and the other 6 - 7. 6 the system is automatically hitting the first child, but it isn't really their disconnection. So when the next kid goes to log on to the computer says that another user is currently connected. Kid, you can't not reconnect to disconnected and kid 2 is unable to open a session. The only way around it is to me as an administrator to log myself, which then automatically stops kid 1 on. So I have to close the session back and then kid 2 can connect.
This isn't a system that works if I'm not in the House, of course. Is there a way to make it 1) give kid 1 a warning 5 min. so that it knows to disconnect and to complete what she done, instead of just turn off suddenly? It could be disastrous, of course, if a document is under development and the computer just starts without warning. (2) actually do disconnect kid 1 before returning to the login screen?
Thank you
Stacie
Hello
Unfortunately, it's by design. When you log in as an administrator you can connect to the wide of other users. Follow these steps to log on to the account with Parental control and/or any other user.

Issues related to the parental control
When you try to view the content on Apple TV apps, you may consider some episodes. He said that you are not allowed to view this content. Set parental controls. We have not enabled our parental control; all restrictions are disabled. Any thoughts?
Restart your Apple TV.
To restart your Apple TV (4th generation), go to settings > system > restart.
For Apple TV (3rd generation and earlier versions), go to settings > general > restart.

setting up parental controls in windows vista Yahoo Messenger using esp
I just bought a new machine and I am trying to set up parental controls. I have windows Vista Home Premium... When Parental control is disabled, YM works, but when it is turned ON, even if the setting is "Allow all Web sites" (which is not make sense because that's what Parental control is all about), but it's the last option I did and so far, my children still can connect to YM. They can use it only when they run it as administrator and means that I always have to type my password, but this is not practical, because I work.
My kids play games other games online, but they are stored in my drive to external hardware. I don't want my crash machine just because of games... but when I try ro turn ON User Account Control, some games are always asking my permission... like when they play DotA, the software application on my external hard drive.
Thank you.

How to rehabilitate the Parental control?
During the installation process of Windows 7, I made a mistake: I chose the domain Mode (when should I choose the user Home Mode) there are three butterflies.
When I try to run games with side as an adult, I have can´t access. It appears messages like 'Parental controls blocked this game' or 'you don't have permission to run the game. Check the Parental control in the game Explorer window.
I have no Parental controls in Control Panel. How to rehabilitate the Parental control? or how to rehabilitate the Home user in Windows 7 with Parental Control Mode?
Note: I am the rights owner and the administrator of my computer.
TododeAzul,
Click Start > computer (right click) > properties > change
This will give you the ability to change from a domain to a workgroup. After that, change is effective, it should open the Parental controls for you. Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers

My daughter is unable to launch the iTunes store in iTunes when parental control is on. If I turn off parental control it works. See this post- http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistamedia/thread/64a593eb-8ae4-4605-86f6-8a941244f2d1/ - the answer it does NOT solve the problem, and you can see at least 3 others have the same problem as I am.
To reproduce:
-Download and install iTunes.
-Create a user of Vista with Parental controls active.
-Log in as user, and launch iTunes. This method works.
-Try to access the iTunes Store. It hangs and never ends.
-Add web sites to the list of 'Green' in the Parental control as suggested in the post mentioned above. This has no effect.
-Select "allow all websites and content. There is still no effect.
-Disable Parental controls for the user. link iTunes Store arrives without problem.I find that my daughter is unable to access the iTunes store unless I have turn off the parental control. I would use Parental controls. Help, please. Thank you.
Rock you. Yes, it seems that this problem could be solved by adding iTunes in the HTTPExemptions list. In particular, adding a String key under:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Parental Controls\HTTPExemptions
The key name and the value must be the path to the executable to iTunes (c:\program files\iTunes\iTunes.exe on my machine).
I guess the drawback here is that now that my kids could, theoretically, use iTunes to access any URL on the internet, but to my knowledge, there is nowhere in iTunes where they could just type a URL and go. In addition, there are Parental control built into iTunes as well.
Thank you!
