Setting iTunes Restrictions for Mac OS X
On Mac OS X, you control access by using keys in a plist file. On Mac OS X the key
values shown above can be specified for each user by editing ~/Library/Preferences/
com.apple.iTunes.plist using Workgroup Manager, an administrative tool included with
Mac OS X Server.
For instructions, see the Apple Support article at http://docs.info.apple.com/

 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Apple Computer, Inc.\iTunes\[SID]\Parental
Controls\
 HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Apple Computer, Inc.\iTunes\Parental Controls

Updating iTunes and iPhone Software Manually
If you turn off automated and user-initiated software update checking in iTunes,
you’ll need to distribute software updates to users for manual installation.
To update iTunes, see the installation and deployment steps described earlier in this
document. It’s the same process you followed for distributing iTunes to your users.
