I want to block an app from running or even being installed on my Mac. The app can be installed via the App Store and the web. Not sure how to go about this. Enabling Parental Controls won't work as Administrator privileges are needed. The specific app I want to block is Apple Configurator. The Dark Sky app, priced at $3.99, continues to be available, and today Apple released an update for the app. Dark Sky version 6.8.5 features a new extra large watch complication to be used with.
You can 'Hide' the app: Content can be hidden by family members; hidden content is not available for download.
Enter the name of the app you want to block into Value data. Click the text field under the Value data heading, and type the name of the app you want to block from running. Make sure to enter the full name of the executable file here, and include the file extension. If you wish to control these apps, then you should learn how to block an app from accessing the internet. This is because most of the applications out there rely on the internet to function. In this guide, we will teach you how to block an app from accessing the internet on Windows, Mac, Android, and iOS. Digital adverts are everywhere. The more time you spend online, the more you will see, even embedded in apps and Facebook messenger. But first, a more effective way how to remove ads on Mac is to clear out potential web pop-ups that continue to direct ads to your Mac. What this usually means is you are infected with malware.
To hide it, you need to go to iTunes on your computer and sign in with the ID that was used to make the original purchase. Then click on the App Store, then on Purchased under the Quick Links section on the right. Then click on iPad or iPhone and All.
It seems like just about every app on my Mac wants Internet access today, and sometimes I want more control over which apps have that instant access. To silence, or block, an app like Spotify. On the Home tab, click Junk, and then click Block Sender. Outlook adds the sender's email address to the blocked senders list. Note: You can restore any of the mail that is in the Junk E-mail folder.
You will see the list of Apps purchased under the ID that you have signed in. Find the app you want to hide, and hover the cursor over the top left-hand corner of the app icon. You will see the pointer change to a hand. Click, and the app should disappear from the screen. It is now hidden and will not be available for download. (there used to be an 'x' that displayed, but apparently that is invisible now....go figure....)
