Why is forgetful of Parental control?

Why Parental controls (often, not always) forget and do not take account of my settings?

I have, for example, deselected some apps, but when my daughter logs in to his account on our MBP she gains unfettered access.

Is there a sequence in which the parameters must be defined? What I am doing wrong?

Hi CreativeSmith,

I understand that you are experiencing some problems with getting the parental controls and Restrictions work correctly on your Mac running macOS Sierra. Please take a look at the links below to verify that you have the Parental control configuration correctly.

macOS Sierra: set up parental controls

Please use the Apple Support communities to post your question. This should have the Parental control to function as it should.

  • WHY IS THERE NO PARENTAL CONTROLS FILTERS ASSOCIATED WITH EATING DISORDERS?

    I know that I can ban specific websites using Parental control filters, but when Microsoft will add a way to filter the news of dangerous on weight loss, dieting, etc.. ? It is too easy for children to find the BMI calculators, feeding sites and other things of that nature and mistreat them. I could turn on each single parental control and my child would probably still managed to use a search engine to access a Web site that could be detrimental to her recovery. I can't type in a thousand of banned sites. It would just be easier to ban its ability to search for a specific word.

    So I would like to see a filter added to Vista, XP, and Internet Explorer that allows me to forbid my child looking for a specific word associated with consumption of issues, issues of body image, eating disorders, weight loss, etc.
    These topics are just as dangerous as alcohol, nudity, blasphemy, weapons, etc. IF NOT MORE SO.
    And with so much pressure from the media, there are more and more children using the internet to fuel this problem.

  • Why should I Windows 8 for the 30 minute increments in the parental control?

    As a developer of software using languages and platforms of Microsoft, I understand how planning works in an application. Why should I upgrade to Windows 8 to get the opportunity to restrict access timed to a PC safe family 30 minutes increments? This is no logic, except if it is half cooked to inform users to upgrade. This is a feature I've wanted since we began using the parental control and I can only assume the developers actually do not use the product, they have created because it really shouldn't been missed for this long. It should also be a simple change in the code to check every 30 minutes instead of 60. Maybe the team of parental controls overlap or had their budget reduced to the point that they cannot make such a simple plus change. I understand, I am in the software. I know it's less than constructive but it's annoying to know different. It's annoying to 'upgrade' to 2012 Essentials see virtually no difference in the features. Your users are not YOU!

  • Why does Parental controls let me play my steam game, even if I am registered as an administrator?

    I recently bought the Prototype game on steam for $20. But every time I try to play, the Parental control appears with 'You're limited to play a game with these sides' in a windows style window. I tried to go to the games tab in the start menu in order to change the settings (as someone said someone else with a similar problem) but no games are presented, nor is it possible (seems to me) to find a place to remove restrictions. I even tried to change the scoring system it uses (not changed). The only account on my computer is mine and I run it is the administrator account.
    Please help me, I don't want to not have lost my $20.

    Hello

     
    (1) have tried to play the game in administrator mode?
    (2) remember to make changes to the computer before the question?
    (3) how exactly have you changed the odds for this game?

If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

  • 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.

  • wrong 'Parental controls has blocked this download'

    Hello.  I have my three children under parental controls on our family PC, Youtube.com, I added to the allow list for all three, and it works for both of them, but not for a.  She gets the following error dialog box even though I checked the green list, removed and added the entry, it disconnected and turn it back on, rebooted the PC and connected as a parent and run the application of parental control and updated data.  The really weird thing is when I log in as admin and look at the history, it shows that he was approving access.  But his browser (IE 9) keeps the display of this dialog and blocks access.  And she is my old, and she is not yet on the level of 'child-friendly' is one of them.  Help, please.

  • Unable to connect to the parental control with existing Microsoft Account

    I can't connect to Windows Live Family Safety with my existing Microsoft Account.

    I enter the e-mail address and password and click the Sign In button, and then get an error message saying "the e-mail address or the password is incorrect."

    The e-mail and password are correct, then why can't connect? I used to be able to connect to OK.

    1. This happens on two different Windows 7 laptops. I rebooted, cleared history, etc., and this did not help.
    2. I checked the e-mail address and the password several times (case is correct, that shift caps lock is not on, etc.).
    3. My address e-mail/Microsoft account is not an address Outlook.com, Live.com or Hotmail.com - it's my own domain, something like<*** email="" address="" is="" removed="" for="" privacy="" ***="">
    4. The Microsoft Account works for all other applications and web sites on my computer Windows 7 mobile, phone Nokia Lumia 920, Lenovo ThinkPad 2 compressed (Win8).
    5. This Microsoft Account <*** email="" address="" is="" removed="" for="" privacy="" ***="">works very well for Office 365 Home Premium.

    Thank you

    And the solution is...

    Disable the verification of two steps in the security settings for information on live.com.

    The parental control client cannot authenticate because he cannot ask the authenticator application code. Can't Movie Maker or one of the other applications of Windows Essentials .

    Awareness in two steps of authentication must be added to the Windows Essentials applications.

  • Impossible to turn off parental control in Windows 10

    Today, I met a rather frustrating problem.

    After starting my laptop with preview W10, build 10130, I noticed a guest who said that safety was turned on, but before I could click it for more information, he disappeared. Nothing in my status bar bar toolbar or notification, just nothing. So I thought it was just misplaced something, after all, it's a preview, it's just a bug.

    I was wrong.

    Eager to visit a website judged inappropriate for children, I got a splashscreen on my browsers, Spartan and Maxthon says the same thing: ask permission, you; ll need to ask an adult to your family if you can visit [the site].

    It's weird, I have a 20 your old man, perhaps not really mature, but I'm an adult. So, why can I not see this website? I looked through my Microsoft account and found my "family", consisting of me and my father, two adults according to the family of Microsoft. After having kicked out of the family and my father hunted himself too, I thought that the problem would be gone. Evil. The same problem.

    Clicking on the button "request email" now gives an error message, ' something was wrong that we are working - try again in a little bit. "

    Then I started looking on the internet how to close parental controls in W8 and W10, I found http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-security/how-do-i-switch-off-parental-control/25fd2b1a-58e3-4648-b6a7-90fff12027c2, but arriving on 3, I have a problem: on the specified location, there is no link 'parental control '. I've looked everywhere on the control panel and settings, but I can't find anywhere the parental control. I found something on the Microsoft Family, but clicking on that does nothing. Nothing opens either.

    My MS account is set on my real birthday, as my Skype account. I am admin on my phone, if this is not the problem.

    So, how can I turn off parental control on my build W10 10130?

    I found the solution (which worked for me):

    1. In (modern) settings > account > your account
    2. Press "connect you with a local account instead.
    3. Create a temporary account
    4. Sign in with the new account
    5. In (modern) settings > account > family & others
    6. Under 'Your family' should be a link where you can reconnect to a MS Account (I don't know the exact name of the link). Just tap it ;)
    7. Sign out and you should be able to sign back with your MS Account
    8. Everything should work now :)
