Reply To: ITouch WiFi

In researching this issue, one of the biggest problems is that resetting the itouch to the factory settings (which can be done easily), will delete any settings that were put onto the device itself. Yesterday I read about a program called Mobicip that works through the iTunes on the computer where the iTouch is synced, and will send emails to someone indicating every site the user visits. there is an option to set up a list of “white listed” (allowed) websites, as well as a black list. That way, for example, someone could allow sites like torahanytime.com and kol haloshon, by putting them on the white list.

Can a tech savvy kid still bypass these things? Yes, but if someone stops getting emails about usage, and yet knows that the kid is using their iTouch, then it’s time to inspect the computer and the iTouch, and probably take it away.
