| | Posted: | | | | I don't use paraental control settings on my desktop but it seems that the ipod touch version wants these enabled. I switch them off in the app - but when I go back in they show as enabled again. | | | | Paul |

| | Posted: | | | | Can confirm this. I'm even asked to give a Parental Control password. Which I don't know as I've not configured one.... But as it does not seem to filter any of my profiles I'm OK with it.... |

But if you look at them then it switches one of them back on. | | | | Paul |

| | Posted: | | | | Yeah, tried that, noticed that too that if you work top to bottom it turns it back on.
But just restarted the app, really restarting, and they are still off, so just needed an additional effort... | | | | Last edited: by Izo |

| | Posted: | | | | Probably the crash prevented the settings from being saved, try again, and try not to let the app crash  | | | | Last edited: by Izo |

| | Posted: | | | | Parental control automatically turns back on when the app loses focus by design. However, the iOS version will respect the desktop's settings regarding what to hide though, so to turn it off permanently, just set the options to view everything on the desktop and resync. | | | | Invelos Software, Inc.

The users that do not want to use the desktop version, will they have to set this parental control everytime when they did shutdown their app? |

| | Posted: | | | | There is no parental control for non-desktop users - the app will not download adult titles. With the explicit covers we allow, there's no avoiding that. | | | | Invelos Software, Inc. Representative |

Well... no avoiding that if you want to be able to stay in the app store  - I was wondering how the hell you avoided the 17+ rating on iTunes. With that said... parental control stays enabled by default on my phone... I tried disabling them on the desktop version even though i already had them off... synced again and nothing... no idea what it'd be blocking... but i would imagine i would want it off 100% of the time. Any help would be appreciated. | | | | -JoN |

So no, it doesn't turn off permamently. Will check tonight when I get home | | | | Paul |

In the ipod - Parental control is Enabled and Enabled at startup. If I'm reading you correct then both of these should be unselected since I'm not hiding adult titles? | | | | Paul |

But just started it again and both switches are turned in the off-position. I have no clue how I came to this result, but keep fiddling with the settings. I think yesterday I did a remove parental control on the desktop, turn the switches off on the iDevice and sync.... Try it maybe it works, no guarantees though... |
