2 questions about SmartWare (password protection, resume after standby)..

Hi guys, 2 quick questions about the SmartWare utility. I have searched for previous answers, but couldn't find any. Might be that I uses the wrong search terms though, so sorry in advance if this had been asked (and aswered) before. When I create a backup, it is being stored file-by-file in the "SmartWare" folder on the NAS. Since the SmartWare folder is public, all users with access to the drive can access this folder. Ultimately this means that ALL users of the drive can access the backup files of ANY user. If someone performs a full backup, this means that anyone has access to ALL the data of that person. I could't find any option in SmartWare to password-protect backups or something. From a security point of view, I would consider this as a worst-case scenario. Even worse is that there is no mentioning of this in the user's manual. Am I missing something here? Is there a way to protect backups against access by any other user? If this is really not possible, I would consider this application to be pretty much useless, to say the least. "Dangerous" would be a better description... My 2nd question is only relevant if there's a solution for the first one, because else I would't use this tool anyway: Does it automatically resume a backup if the machine is put to standby or hibernation mode during a backup operation, or will it restart from the start, or will the backup be interrupted (and thus useless)? Many thanks in advance!

One can create a Private Share on the WD My Cloud, configure it so only one user has access (password protected), then one can configure the SmartWare software to backup to that private share folder. One changes the backup location in the SmartWare program by selecting the dropdown selector box below the "WD My Cloud" on the Smartware "Home" screen. The Smartware User Manual explains this process under Chapter 5, Backing up Files, step 2, substep c. Smartware should resume the backup when ever it is interrupted. Here is how it is explained in the Smartware User Manual:Note: Backup protection is automatic for as long as the backup source and target devices are connected to your computer. Then, whenever you disconnect and reconnect either device, the WD SmartWare software rescans the backup source device for new or changed files and resumes automatic backup protection.

    Check exception list of your Firefox password Manager and check if your site is there or not?

  • Question about using passwords on Visio

    I have another question about the Vision:M. I was curious if you're able to password protect certain folders so that in order to access them, you have to put in a password. I know you can password protect files so it can't be messed with or whatever, but it doesn't stop the files from being viewed. Is there any way to do this?

    there is an option somewhere in the settings menu to hide protected files, so you can't see them or edit them till the password is entered.

  • Swing application eats CPU on resume after standby

    My application contains a mix of regular Swing components and about 200 (small) custom components (JPanels) that draw themselves. The problem is that if put my laptop into Standby, then restart it, the application eats CPU. It goes from ~4% pre standby to ~48% after standby. Totally repeatable. There is only the main thread, the AWT thread and a couple timers firing: one to get data from a server and one to redraw the custom controls to make the control blink (calls repaint() to cue up a call to paintComponent()). I put timing code in the two timer driven threads and both are running fine. NOTE: each of the custom components is just a rectangle with a short text string in it. Think checkerboard with text. The background color is all that is being changed. It's basically a grid of alarm/status "lights".
    I did some searching and only found a reference to a drawing bug that was fixed back in 1.4.x that had to do with WinXP and dual-headed computers.
    Note that another simple Swing application I wrote (no custom controls), doesn't appear to behave this way, so I suspect it has to do with the custom drawing stuff (rolling my own paintComponent() method).
    Any thoughts on how to figure out what is eating the CPU? I'm using NetBeans 6.7 and JDK 1.6_14 under Windows XP.

    It doesn't matter if it's a Swing timer or a Util timer. It behaves the same either way. That was one of the first things I tried.
    I ended up refactoring the code to go from a grid of individual controls (think checker board where each square is a control that draws itself), to a single "board" control that draws a grid. That seems to have fixed the issue. I can go in/out of Standby and the app doesn't eat a ton of CPU any more. The real problem may still be there, just too small of an effect to notice.
    I don't know why the original design would work fine before a Standby, but not after. Having ~200 little controls doing repaints twice a second must confuse something in the JVM/Windows versus having 4 large controls doing the same amount of drawing.
    It's working, so time to move on.

  • Can a document author password protect something after its already downloaded?

    If I download a document from a website and am not required to enter a password to open it after I’ve downloaded it, is it possible for the author to add password protection to the downloaded document later? For example, let’s say I am a member of a paid website that allows its members to download documents. Let’s say I’ve downloaded some stuff and was not required to enter a password at the time. If I cancel my membership can they somehow change my downloaded copy in my computer and add password protection? Meaning if I cancel my membership I could possibly lose access to the stuff I’ve already downloaded?

    Awesome. I looked up online how to check to see if they used DRM and they don't for any of their documents. Thank you so much!

  • Question about reset password in lesson08 of David Powers (Dreamweaver CS5 with PHP)

    I'm at the page 299 that found a problem in reset password. I managed to received email of link to reset password. In the reset password form, why no checking of password length entered or password unmatch with confirmed password input ? Instead it displays error message of 'Sorry, there was an error. Make sure you used the complete URL in the email you received. The URL can be used to change your password only once. If necessary...' The error message of 'Passwords don't match' or 'Use 8-15 letters or numbers only' not processed.
    Please help !
    Thank You

    I can see the 32 characters attached to URL and also I can see the 32 characters stored in database. It actually can reset the the password if entered within the requirement of 8-15. But when I entered less than 8, it does not show the error message of 'Use 8-15 letters or numbers only'.
    I noticed that $_SESSION['nomatch'] was assigned to True after the validation of 8-15 length. Below is the code for reference.
    <?php
    session_start();
    $errors = array();
    $success = FALSE;
    $_SESSION['nomatch'] = TRUE;
    require_once('library.php');
    try {
      if (isset($_GET['id']) && isset($_GET['token'])) {
              $id = $dbRead->quote($_GET['id']);
              $token = $dbRead->quote($_GET['token']);
              $sql = "SELECT user_id FROM users WHERE user_id = $id AND token = $token";
              $result = $dbRead->fetchRow($sql);
              if ($result) {
          $_SESSION['user_id'] = $_GET['id'];
                $_SESSION['token'] = $_GET['token'];
                $_SESSION['nomatch'] = FALSE;
      if (isset($_POST['reset'])) {
              // password reset code goes here
              $val = new Zend_Validate();
              $val->addValidator(new Zend_Validate_StringLength(8,15));
              $val->addValidator(new Zend_Validate_Alnum());
              if (!$val->isValid($_POST['password'])) {
                $errors['password'] = 'Use 8-15 letters or numbers only';
              $val = new Zend_Validate_Identical($_POST['password']);
              if (!$val->isValid($_POST['conf_password'])) {

  • Question about vanilla HLS protection.

    Hello there,
    I want to deploy protected VOD service for iOS on AMS, but for now I can't prepare an AIR application for our service.
    So I'm planning to start with vanilla protection.
    I know vanilla is only option can be played on iOS Safari/Quicktime without specific application.
    I wonder whether customers can play once download streamed movie without server connection.
    I can't find how the scheme works in the help document.
    I just make sure customers can't play local downloaded contents.
    Thank you.

    Hello tt
    Every hardware part can be exchanged and dont worry about that. Contact service partner and let them order the part for you. Please dont try to exchange it alone because the protect panel is very sensible at the under side because of contact panel.
    Authorized service partner in your country you can find under http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_gaspLocator.jsp?pf=true

  • Equium L10-300 - Question about BIOS password

    Hey all hope you can help a new user please.
    Had a customer bring in an Equium L10-300 notebook. Somehow a password has been put on the BIOS and the boot up so I cannot do anything with it. I cannot boot from a CD and Ive tried a USB floppy, it looks at the floppy once and then just carries on to the password area. I was going to attempt a BIOS flash you see.
    Im guessing maybe taking the bios battery out might help? But not sure where it is or how to get to it. Any links to manuals etc would be nice. Ive read that some newer Toshibas have special security chips now that hold the passwords etc.
    Any help would be great thanks, really need to get this fixed.
    Mark

    Hello Mark
    If you have customer I presume you work for one authorized service. The fact is that every authorized service has exact description how to remove BIOS password on each notebook model.
    So if you are trying to remove BIOS password I cannot imagine you work for some baker. So much about your job.
    Other important thing is that BIOS removal procedure is kind of top secret information and cannot be theme for public discussion. This information cannot be posted here. This will be great help for all people who try to enter stolen notebooks. Do you agree with me?
    If your customer needs professional help send him to nearest Toshiba authorized service provider. They will know how to remove BIOS password.

  • HT2506 Questions about Preview Using in Safari after Installing Adobe Reader

    I wonder how could I reuse Preview to open PDFs on Safari, after I installed the **** stupid Adobe Reader. Now I can't read and download online PDFs just because I got the Adobe Reader, even if I uninstalled the Adobe reader. What should I do?!!!!

    I've been having this same problem with saving pdf files File - Save As from the top Toolbar on my laptop.
    I would constantly get messages - There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired.
    I also downloaded the lateset version of Adobe Reader XI
    But at last I have managed to find a simple way to access pdf files from the internet.
    Firstly, without downloading the pdf, I printed the pdf file direct from the Safari page by using the Print icon on the grey lozenge that appears centrally three quarters down the screen.
    Then I discovered that if I save the pdf using the Save icon from this same grey lozenge on the Safari page I can open and print this pdf version from my desktop.
    I've tested it with a couple of different pdf files and these methods work using the grey lozenge icons but the same pdfs files don't work using File - Save As on the Tool Bar.

  • Question about Workflow between Premiere and After Effects

    Hey guys, I have Production Premium CS5 (Premiere and AE)
    One thing that has always confused me was basic workflow between these 2 products.  Is it best to get your clips, but them into sequence, do the basic effects that Premiere supports and output into the  highest quality video in order to take into AE and apply effects to?
    Or should I take video footage, do my After Effects work, export that as a clip that will then be used in the video composition in Premiere?  I know I don't want to move a project too many times between because of compression, so what would the most optimized workflow be?
    FYI, I am doing a lot of video game frag movies, so I have a lot of effects I like to put into it.

    Really?
    I'm always amazed at Photoshop's cold boot startup time. On my rig it takes 8 seconds.  From a warm boot, Photoshop will start in 2-4 seconds.
    This isn't the case with my video editing software though...
    Sony Vegas 8.1 (looking to learn Premiere so I don't need this anymore - Cold Boot : 8 seconds, Warm Boot : 3 seconds)
    After Effects (Cold Boot : 22 seconds, Warm Boot : 8 seconds)
    Premiere (Cold Boot : 48 seconds, Warm Boot : 16 seconds)
    Premiere seems to be a beast of a program; I'm rather surprised, I thought AE would be the more intense one.  Sorry, I haven't yet overcome my fears of losing projects/data because I'm running on a Windows machine.
    It's half the reason why I have a Mozy account to backup my files to an online resource.

  • Question about Cinema 4D and Adobe After Effects

    Hello guys! I'm kind of new to both after effects and cinema but I was wondering if I made a project on cinema, can |I transfer it to after effects and add it to a video?
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YjB51DYoMRQ&t=0m24s
    Technically, I want to do this kind of claw animation and zoom into my adobe title.
    Even better is if theres anyway of replicating this kind of animation in adobe after effects. If this can be done it would be appreciated if you could tell me how!
    I have plenty of time to do this school project so any help would be very helpful! Thank you very much!
    -School Student, for a project!

    Yes. If you render out your C4D file into a format with alpha, you could very easily place a video behind it in AE. You can even easily bring your C4D camera move into AE if you wanted to. For several years Maxon has provided a plugin to bring a C4D project's cameras, lights, and nulls or solids (that have been tagged with the External Compositing Tag) into AE. Lately, however, there is another way. If you have AE CC (version 12) or CC 2014 (version 13), there's another way: details of CINEMA 4D integration with After Effects

    The Safe Mode startup key combo is the same; Startup key combinations for Intel-based Macs, it just isn't working for you.
    I suggest starting from the Install DVD that came with your iMac. Once in the Installer you will find tools in the Utilties menu. Using the Disk Utility try repairing the startup volume.
