Hi BD,
Sorry for this late reply. Thank you for answering.
I probably did not explain myself very well in my post above.
First, the Time Limits boxes - I did intend to leave unchecked.
Second, the Bedtime access restrictions does seem like I am allowing my child to access the computer during NORMAL sleep hours. However, I set the Bedtime (prevent access times) hours to 9:00 AM - 11:00 PM during a school Christmas break so that I would be the one to extend the hours as I was requested. (My child was grounded from computer access during these times) Beyond 11:00 PM they should be asleep.
So, when I saw that the Bedtime 9 AM-11 PM hours still allowed access, I tried other hours and nothing "prevented" access to the computer. Even moving the upper "time limits" sliders to the far left, still gave 1/2 hour of computer access.
Is there a bug in Apple's Parental Controls software?
