Can you password protect pages folders

When you create a folder in pages, can you password protect the folder, or it only that documents can have a password?

Only the file can be password protected from within Pages. If you don't want the file to open on your Mac without the password, then do not check, “Remember this password in my keychain,” in the password dialog. Record your document password where you can retrieve it — in case your forget, or if using keychain, in case it becomes damaged.
You can password protect (and encrypt) a folder that contains Pages documents, whether they are password protected or not.
In Finder, press shift+command+U to launch the Utilities Window.
Launch Disk Utility
File > New > Disk Image from Folder…
From the Select Folder to Image dialog, select the folder and click Image
From the New Image from Folder dialog
Image Format
Compressed - folder will be read-only with no ability to add documents later
Read/write - intuitive
Encryption: 256-bit AES Encryption
Save
In the new password dialog, set your password
You should strive for password complexity that shows strength as green
Record your password where you can retrieve it.
Again, the caveat about keychain as mentioned above
A new disk image will appear with the name you gave it, and a .dmg extension
Double-click for the password challenge
The disk image will mount on your desktop just like an installer. Double-click to open.If you chose Image format as read/write, you can drag additional Pages documents into this open folder
Right-click on the mounted image and choose Eject to close it
You can edit Pages documents in-place in the mounted folder, but you will get a warning about space in the image container. If you want to increase the disk image size, open it in Disk Utility. It willl appear below the line in the left panel. Select the .dmg there, and from the Images menu, choose Resize…, and adjust accordingly.

Could someone please tell me how can I password protect individual folders?

Hi
I use a MacBook Pro 17" with MacOSX(10.4.7) Could someone please tell me how can I password protect individual folders?
Thanks
Adnan Yousuf

Adnan,
One way to do this is to use Disk Utility to make a password protected disk image of the folder(s) that you need to secure. This is probably the easiest way to do it.
Go to Disk Utility and choose "New Image" and select encryption.
Regards,
Steve M.

Can you password protect your mail so when you want to access any mail you must enter a password?

Can you password protect your email so when you want to access any of your mail accounts you must enter a password? In other words before I can see my mail I must enter a password.

On Oct 10, 2007, Matthew Morgan answered this question (discussion is now archived). I wanted to inquire further to his comment:

     Cherster,
     You could go to Settings>General>Passcode Lock and set a password to secure all your      personal data.
Matthew - in which program are our suggesting going to Settings?

Can you password protect an pdf Portfolio? Not a single pdf, but a pdf Portfolio.

I know how to password protect individual PDF's. My quesiton is can one password protect an entire pdf Portfolio after assembling the Portfolio.

I'm using Acrobat Pro 11.0.6, if it helps. I was able to find it at File > Portfolio Properties > Security > Security Method.
This is what I was looking for, Dave. It prompts the user for the password when they try to open the portfolio.

Can i password protect pages in iweb?

id like to be able to do it with a username and password that i can issue to select people..

Not in iWeb. You have to do it at the server side.
Depending on where you host, you can password protect a site (a folder or directory) or a page.
See your control panel where you host your site.
Or you can do it yourself with a .htaccess file :
http://www.google.com/search?q=password+protect+website+htaccess
Here's a basic login :
http://home.wyodor.net/protect
username/password are : root/root
Or if your server supports it, you can do it my way :

How can I password protect imbedded folders within an iWeb-created website?

I have read that iWeb will not allow you to password protect individual imbedded content (ex. individual albums or pictures), but, that you can only protect the whole site. I have also read on here that the password protection for the site isn't very good and is easily broken.
Short of creating multiple pages (each password protected) and then linking all the private pages to a public page, is there any easier way to password protect individual items of content rather than the whole site, preferably in a way that can't be "broken" in terms of bypassing the password?
Maybe I need to use a different application to create the website? If so, recommendations?

What kind of content? If you use PDF files you can password protect them when you create them. The same goes for Word documents.

HT3819 Can you password protect certain items to NOT share?

Are you able to password protect certain items in the home sharing part of iTunes.
For example - if there are age restricted movies that you would like to view on other apple TV's but only accessable with a Password.

No way I know of. The only way I'm aware of to protect content is to either set age limits in the parental controls or purchase such content via a different iTunes Store account and not set that account up for home sharing.

Password protecting pages within PDF

Is it possible to password protect a section or pages or a page of a PDF?
We have a customer that needs to open a form on their phone or tablet for their customer review. However, part of the financial form DOES NOT need to be viewable by their customer. So, we are thinking the field worker can sign into the financial portion of the PDF. Is that possible? Where the financial portion is on a different page of the PDF and that page is password protected.
Craig

No, you can't password protect pages. There are ways of hiding the data on
those pages, but they might not properly on mobile devices. Why not simply
separate the financial info to another file?

PASSWORD PROTECTING A PAGE WITH A NICE BOX DESIGNED INTO YOUR PAGE
FINALLY, I'VE FOUND AN ANSWER TO PASSWORDING A PAGE OR SECTION WITH ADOBE MUSE WITH GREAT SIMPLICITY AND ALLOWING YOU TO 'DESIGN' THE PASSWORD BOX INTO YOUR PAGE!!!
Even better is that you don't HAVE to have username AND password (although you could if you wanted to), so just a simple PASSWORD box and enter button DESIGNED BY YOU WITHIN YOUR PAGE, rather than nasty popups etc. Importantly, the password itself is NOT within the source code of your page either!!
The solution is at Jotform.com. I believe you can do this with a FREE ACCOUNT, although it's SUCH a great service for Musers that I paid for a proper account.
Before you do this, create a page on your site saying "Wrong Password. Please go away" or something to that effect. You'll need it for when they enter the wrong password.
So, in Jotform, you just create a new form and:
1. Drag on a password box (it's in the power tools section)
2. Select it and go to Conditions
3. Go to Change Thank You URL after submission
4. Enter: If [name of your password box] field EQUALS TO [enter your password]
5. In the "Then redirect to" box, enter the URL of your protected page and click save
6. In the resulting box click "ADD A NEW CONDITION" and do the SAME as stets 3 to 5 but this time say NOT EQUALS TO" with your same password and in the "Then redirect to" box, enter the URL of your WRONG PASSWORD page and click save
7. Embed the button on your page and you're done!!!
If you want to mess about with the EXACT alignment of a right aligned button and text box, you can go to Preferences and in the box which allows you to add your own custom CSS, enter the following code and mess about with the values until it's perfect for you:
.form-buttons-wrapper { padding-top:3px !important; }#id_2 {margin-left: -50px !important;}
Here's an example, built in Muse: www.hileytv.com/about.html
I hope this helps my fellow Musers!

How do you password protect web gallery

Iphoto is easy to protect. How do you password protect your movies in webgallery? The help menu is not very clear

The best I can figure out is that if you post your movie to the Gallery, but do not select the option to "Show project on Web Gallery home page," the video will not show on your home page for random visitors. When the movie is done posting, you can send the direct link of your video to whomever you want by copying it from the confirmation page after the video uploads. Not perfect, but the only option I see right now.

Password Protected Pages?

Can I create password protected pages within iWeb? Or, do I need to use a more advance web editor? I've created password protected web pages before using templates provided by my webhost and was just wondering if this is supported in iWeb.

No, iWeb does not support this. You can password protect your whole site, but only if you publish to MobileMe.
You are best doing this via your server and perhaps not using iWeb.

Crash when editing a Password Protected page

I have an issue with a Mac user that is trying to edit a site
I created. Some folders on this site are password protected –
meaning that pages on the site require user names and passwords to
be entered for them to be viewed by web surfers. This user can log
on and edit parts of the site that are not password protected but
when he navigates to a folder that is, and chooses a page to edit,
his computer locks up. Normally, when one of my PC users chooses a
page to edit that requires a password, from within CT, they are
presented the security window and prompted to enter the info. Once
entered, CT allows assess to the page for editing as normal.
Anyone know why the Mac is locking up when this user tries to
edit a page with a password?
This user can “surf” the site with their version
of Safari or Firefox and view password protected pages – just
not from within CT
We are using CT CS4

The error occurs when they use the choose button. And, that
is currently the only way to get access to those pages since all of
the password protected pages do not have direct links. These page
links are sent out via email ( with un and pw info ) so clients can
get direct access.
I do not know if he has tried typing the url directly in the
address bar ( can that even be done ?)
The only thing else I've learned is that he is running OS
10.4.11.
Thanks for responding.

Password protecting certain folders on a mac.

I have 2 macs in the house and 3 pcs connected through a netgear wireless router. One of my macs is shared and has all documents and folders that all the other computers can see. I want to password protect some folders so that other computers need password access to see them. I have visitors come to the house with their laptops and when they join my wireless they can see my documents. So, all I need is make these folders password protected. I am using osx lion on the computer that shares the folders.

I haven't used anything I can recommend, but if I did, it would likely be a Iron Key as it has the advantage of being off the machine, easily disposable or locked in a safe.
However I've tried Filevault and Disk Images and I can say you don't want to go there to simply protect a few folders.
Yes, I know, no help.
