I love Apple Music, but you may find yourself (as I have) needing to block certain apps from your kids or grandkids. I recommend using the macOS Parental Controls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This makes it easy to set up a limited-access account for little ones, for public usage Macs, enterprise Macs, or to set up a restricted Guest account for when someone else is using your Mac.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before macOS Big Sur, the Parental Controls were a separate item in System Preferences. In macOS Ventura and the new macOS Sonoma, it\u2019s included under System Settings.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To set restrictions, go to Apple menu \uf8ff > System Settings > Screen Time<\/p>\n\n\n\n
