Confirming your iTunes account on iPhone and iTunes

Scotty, Now the kids are not able to get on their school website and the Googledocs program that the school uses.
Under parental controls, we do not see where it has been blocked therefore there is no way to "allow" it.
Please help!!!!!!
Thanks,

So yea,
This can be a problem. Google Docs, along with Amazon.com, ebay, gmail, all use https which means that your browser and their server have a secure connection to each other. The only problem is that current Apple parental controls disallow kids from using https secured connections. Yea I know. It's meant to keep kids from ordering things online or keep them from using web based email services like yahoo or gmail directly within a browser. So this means that if you want to allow your kids to use google docs, you'd have to turn off parental controls. Ugh.
You could try to add each https site to the "always allow" section of the parental controls, under content, but it most likely will not work. There is a work around I know of that uses OpenDNS but it gets a little complicated.

Update: This fellow seems to have found a workaround by exactly identifying the url name of the https site, entering it into the allowed sites and was good to go. HowTo allow gmail, with Parental Controls | BenjaminHurt.com
