iPod touch 16 GB: Could anyone tell this electronic illiterate mom if parental controls are possible for the iPod Touch?

Yes, there are parental controls for the iPod touch. In the Settings menu of the touch, Parental Controls will be an option. You can lock out certain features like the App Store, Safari, iTunes Wi-Fi, Youtube, and Explicit Content, and then lock it down with your own personal passcode (a 4-letter code that only you will know.) I hope this helps.

Nope! I even contacted their helpdesk and they said that they are "working with Apple." These guys are late in the game. If you have an iPhone, get something else. Additionally they said, "However, we do have a product called safe eyes which keeps you safe on-the-go with powerful Internet filtering for the iPad, iPhone or iPod touch. Safe Eyes Mobile allows you to decide the type of content that is appropriate for you and your family and enjoy your mobile Web without the worry."

This device is the worst purchase I've ever made. Do not buy. There is no parental controls

Pls excuse my ignorance - I know nothing about any of this but am looking to buy for my niece. So my stupid question is this: With Skype and the other items noted above, she can use this ipod as a telephone, correct? Then it must have WiFi access? But to use it as a cell phone wouldn't be good as you can't always pick up a WiFi connection. Do I have this right?On the other side of the coin, the new Iphone also has an Ipod in it, but I can't find anywhere on Apple site how much storage it has for ipod capability - how many songs can it hold (Assuming New IPhone 3g 16g)?

My experience is that you can connect a USB thumb drive with mp3 music on it, and use the controls on the outside of the case to control your music. The other input is a standard 1/8 inch jack. It will work with anything, but then the only control on the outside that works is the volume. I don't think it will actually control iPhone or iPod. I know it won't control my iPod touch 2nd gen. For the money though, it's a great little device, they just need to add a security cable so you can leave it locked on your bike when you go in somewhere and not worry about it walking away.

Yes. I have one tablet with restrictions under "Parental Controls." I logged into the Router Cloud from my PC just now, and I can change any of those settings (including ending access to the Internet). I have not tried it from an App on my tablet, but I believe it would work the same. Hope this helps.

Just change the input to ipod, in the remote control. Once its in the ipodSetting, you can skip any songs using the remote control buttons. Hope it works

Sure. Install the apps "Voice Memo" and "iTalk" (or they may have come with the most recent upgrade, $10 from the Apple site), and just leave some memory in the iPod.

I'm very sorry, I don't have that iPod so I can't try it out for you. I would if I could. Hopefully someone who has it will do you the favor of testing it.

Nabi has something called "Mommy/Daddy" mode that allows parents or whoever to get to the REAL tablet functions and internet. My grandson would watch Netflix on his without a problem. There was no app, he just went straight to the website and "Voila!" He still does it. The 4GB memory limitation may be a problem (speedwise) but you can always contact Nabi directly at 1-885-ASK-NABI, https://www.nabitablet.com/support/products/nabijr, or go to their site and chat with a representative. One of my grandson's (the one that uses Netflix, YouTube, and other sites on his) has the Nabi Tablet. My smaller grandson has this one (the 5"). So, far except for the memory. They basically work the same. Another commenter here said she returned the Nabi Jr and got a Kindle for her child. That was a good, and more expensive choice. We have Kindle Fires too. Kindles have parental controls in the "Kindle Freetime" mode and, as she says, you can buy or download apps to them...if you are a little tech-savvy. Problem is the Kindles are not very good choices for kids under 7 unless you are "warrantied-up" or your kid is advance beyond his or her years in handling technology! Your choice. Good luck!

Dear M Brown, I don't think iPad let's you do this, unfortunately. They want you to spent more money and get one with bigger storage, but may be I just have not figured it out yet.

No, you can't.. Only when you use the ipod, you can control your play list ether by head unit or steering wheel control

Yea, that's what I meant. The ipod touches that are purhcased after today will haev the Applications installed.I wonder if any of the ones on amazon have any pre-installed. I don't feel like paying $20, but I don't want to jailbreak without knowing full details.---EDIT:Hmm.. i see the price dropped some more. maybe they are compensating with a $20 price drop. Let me ask CS and find out.

MauraSorry, no. I haven't had any replies... and I haven't purchased it yet. May be I will visit the Apple store to ask one of the Geniuses behind the counter.

iOS 7 has an accessibility option called 'guided access' that allows you to password lock the home button. It's pretty awesome.
