IPhone :: Parental Controls/time Restrictions On IPhone
Mar 27, 2012
I can safely say that my daughter's iPhone has ruined our lives. We've had it for five days. Yes, there are some built-in parental controls, but Apple has blocked anybody from offering a software program that will turn the dang thing off (I'm talking about texting and calling) at a certain time every night. I have a daughter who is addicted to her phone and the battles are humongous to get her to do anything but text.
There are plenty of good programs with good parental controls for the Android and Blackberry, but thanks Apple for not allowing us as parents to turn the phone off at night. I know about Mobicip, which is a great company, but they can only turn the internet off, not texting or calling. When you have a kid who can and will text 5,000 texts a month, we need something that eliminates the battles at home and can automatically turn the thing off when it's bedtime. We're all losing sleep. Most parents, when they get an iPhone for their kid, don't realize that Apple, unlike Android, has chosen to place more importance on children's privacy than parent's ability to place restrictions on their kids' phones. I plan to take the iPhone back and get her an Android.
parental restrictions password was set on my 4S, and now wanting to take them off, but the problem is, i have forgotten the password. The bigger problem with this is that my macbook got a new harddrive so i can not restore from a previous back-up before the restrictions and i do not want to reset from factory settings as i will have nothing and no way of getting anything back.
I have just got a Curve 9320 for my 'tweenage' son and obviously wanted to set up some parental controls. However, it appears that the only setting there is on the phone is to completely block browser access, which somewhat defeats the object of getting him a contract that includes unlimited data. I have installed an app that can monitor phone usage, including logging websites visited - this works brilliantly on my Android phone but apparently the website tracker function won't work with Blackberrys. Is there any way of either restricting website access or tracking websites that he has visited (even though he may have already deleted browsing history)?
if there is a way OTHER THAN using Restrictions to do the following:Add time of day that child can access iphone to surf the web (internet browsing)Add time of day that child can access iphone game applications to play their games?
My husband locked my restrictions under the settings app and has forgotten what the pass code is. Is there any way to reset the restrictions pass code with out resetting the whole phone? And if I did have to reset the whole phone will it for sure unlock the restrictions?
Try to enable restictions on iphone 4s. After I enter the password twice. The choices are dim and I am not able to change which apps i want to restrict.
I need to know whether or not an app is allowed to use the FaceTime function within it. Just as an example, let's say one creates an app where you pay (or not) to talk to a person using FaceTime (let's say ChatRoulette-like, but with an actual purpose); is that permissible?
I enabled Restrictions on my kid's iPhones and failed to write it down... Is it possible to reset it? If it take it to an Apple or AT&T store, can they?
I just updated my iPhone 3GS from iOS 4.3.5 to 5.1, and now Restrictions are set to "On". That was definitely not the case before I updated, and I do not know the 4-digit passcode to disable. Two questions: How do I turn off Restrictions without re-installing the OS? The upgrade to 5.1 took nearly 15 hours (a nearly full 32GB iPhone) and tied up the family iMac (late-2010 model 27" Core i7 quad-processor) for the entire time — I do not want to that again, especially if I cannot be guaranteed that Restrictions won't end up locked again.What happens if I keep trying different passcodes — is there a limit on the number of attempts? If so, what happens when that limit is reached? Additional info: not using iCloud; mail, contact, calendars still set to sync to MobileMe; everything else syncs via iTunes on the iMac.
I will go to settings, general, reset, erase all content and settings, enteer my passcode, than it asks me for my restrictions passcode which i didnt even make? This is a iphone 1st generation but works great besides this.
I have forgotten my restrictions passcode. I reset my phone (iphone 6 ) using icloud and find my phone, however it has simply re-restored the mystery passcode.Â
I need to restore my phone and update iTunes. I think I need to take restrictions off but I forgot passcode.I can't even restore the phone to factory settings without entering passcode. How can I do this?My phone has so many capabilities but I cannot utilize them
I want to remove the restrictions from my iPhone but I don't want to restore it because that would mean losing half of the things on my phone. I have already tried recovring the password using iPhone Backup Extractor but when I try to open the com.apple.springboard.plist file it shows up in TextEdit.
