I get “Error sending Diagnostics. Please contact Family Zone Support” when submitting the diagnostics
Our support team will give you details on how to submit the diagnostics. You’ll find them in the following locations:
- MAC: Applications > FamilyZone > MobileZoneAgent > support.bundle
- Windows: C:\Program Files (x86)\FamilyZone\MobileZoneAgent > support.bundle
Can you run the diagnostics remotely?
No. The diagnostics page is designed to check the machine's status and see if you have a good network connection. We are unable to connect to your computer remotely.
Connect is asking me to log in, why?
This means that your device isn’t registered and Family Zone is not currently applying any filtering.
Can I run this on a Chromebook, iOS or Android device?
No, the diagnostics are only for Windows and Mac computers.
