Okay, so just yesterday I set up parental controls on my account to see what it was like. It was experimental, I knew I probably wasn't going to keep it set up. So I created a new user account and made it administrator. Then I made my account just standard so I could manage it from the other one. Well, it turns out parental controls was really annoying with blocking sites/applications and all, so I went and turned off parental controls and deleted the other admin account. Then I made my account administrator again.
But it caused LOTS of problems!
Now, it still shows some sites and applications as blocked and I have to type in my OWN password to allow them!! And now it says that "Safari cannot establish a secure connection" with gmail! And on iChat it wouldn't let me get into my google talk account, so I deleted it and tried to set up a new one. But it wouldn't even give me a CHOICE to set up a google talk account!! The Jabber/Google Talk options completely disappeared in the iChat setup!!
So I've been having to use my Guest Account. And on my guest account it DOES allow me to go to gmail, so it must be the parental controls.
So I go to System Preferences and check the accounts panel, and it says on my account "Administrator, Managed"-- that's impossible!! Administrators cannot be managed by parental controls. HELP PLEASE!!!! I would create a new account, but I've done that before and transferring the files was a lot of work and I lost a lot of things. So if you know another way to fix this, it would be greatly appreciated.
