Cannot open leopard password protected disk image

i had created a password protected disk image under leopard. Now that i have snow leopard i can't open it anymore with the right password. Since then i know that i have changed the name of the disk image also. does anyone know if either changing the name of the image or upgrading from leopard to snow leopord would explain why i cannot open the image anymore?

Neither change should matter. I suspect that the password is wrong, maybe missing a cap or lowercase item or a number. Find someone running Leopard, copy it over, and see if it'll open there.

Trying to create a password protected disk image in 10.8.4

Trying to create a password protected disk image in 10.8.4. I follow steps in Apple:Support but I get an error saying "Resource busy"?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Version doesn't work on external password protected disk image

Version doesn't work on external password protected disk image.
Any ideas?

Hi
Did you assign the external monitor as a primary display in the graphic properties?
I think you did it due to the fact that the Toshiba boot display appears on the external monitor.
But just moment please. The Tecra M7 was delivered with the Win XP Pro tablet edition and not with Vista.
Did you install it at you own hand?
I presume everything has worked running Win XP
Maybe you should try remove the graphic driver from the Vista system and use one from the 3rd site like www.laptopvideo2go.com

USB Flash Drive (with password protected Disk Image) copies files very slowly. Why?

I'm backing up some data onto a 32GB flash drive that I've put a password-protected Disk Image onto, and am copying this data into, but it is achingly slow. It's taking hours to copy just 500MB!
I have another 64MB flash drive that I have set up the same way, but this one copies files very quickly. I can't spot any difference between them in Disk Utility/System profiler.
For the record, the process I've used for bothe drives is reformatted to Mac OS Extended (Journaled), then created a new Disk Image onto each drive (just a bitsmaller than the maximum size of the drive to enable it to fit) with 128--bit encryption.
Does anyone have any idea why the 32GB drive would perform any differently? I am using the same USB port on my iMac for each drive, but am getting very different copying speeds. It's driving me nuts! Many thanks.

The drive seems to be working fine if I copy files onto it outside of the Disk Image file (there's about 200MB of free space left over after I added the DMG). So I can only deduce from that that it is something specifically to do with the DMG itself. Though, as mentioned, I compared the DMG on my (fast) 64GB stick and the DMG on this problematic (slow) 32GB stick in Disk Utility/System Profiler (and I originally set them up in an identical way, as far as I am aware), and they seem to be the same. But one is performing achingly slow. Even dropping a file into the mounted DMG takes a few minutes to even think about it. It's very odd.

Cannot open a password protected PDF file on my ipad

WHy can't I open a password protected PDF file on my ipad even after I enter my password.

Someone on another forum said you can with the app Goodreader Lite, but I haven't gotten to try it yet. I will let you know in about 45 minutes.
P.S: Or this sounds even better - http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11780778&#11780778

After updating on my mac - I cannot open various password protected pages - like my WordPress site. I can open them from Safari and from Firefox on my windows pc.

after updating firefox , it won't allow input of password on various sites - like my wordpress admin page. I can access this page from safari and from firefox on my windows pc.

I cannot open password protected WordPress pages using Firefox. They open using IE
If I remove the password protection the page opens correctly in FF.
I have cleared the FF cache and cookies several times, No change
I have modified the wp-pass.php file several suggested ways related to the referrer and nothing solves the issue.
I tried:
wp_safe_redirect(wp_get_referer());
to
wp_safe_redirect(wp_get_referer() . '?');
NO GOOD
I tried: 
 
<pre><nowiki>$location = wp_get_referer();
if ( $location == '' )
$location = './';
wp_redirect($location, $status = 302);
</nowiki></pre>
NO GOOD
I have upgraded WordPress to 3.3.1. Still NO GOOD
I have deactivated, and also removed all plug-ins. Still NO GOOD.
Anyone have any ideas?
Why just an FF issue?
IE no problems

How Safe is a Password Protected Disk Image?

I've created a Disk Image Volume with a password on my hard drive and have placed sensitive files into it as an alternative to using File Vault. Does anyone know if there is a way that these files be accessed without the password?
Thanks,
Joe

If you created the Disk Image Volume with a Password then it cannot be acsessd without said password.
It is the same with Filevault.. You cannot make changes without a Password.....Don

Firefox 8.0.1-4.dmg - downloads - could not be opened. Quick Time Layer cannot open files in the "Disk Image" Format - What do I need to do?

I get the above message when I try to download Firefox updates.

That is a disk image file and you can't open that in an application.
 
Make sure that Firefox gets installed properly. 
Open the Firefox disk image (DMG) file with a double-click if necessary and drag the Firefox program to the application folder on your hard drive. 
You shouldn't double-click the Firefox application to run it from the disk image, but drag it out of the DMG folder instead.

I am not able to install updates on my Mac Air laptop. IT says The document "Firefox 6.0.1.dmg" could not be opened. Adobe Flash Player Install Manager cannot open files in the "Disk Image" format.

i have not been able to install updates on this laptop ever.

They screwed up the first Flashback removal tool very badly, locking several users out of their accounts permanently. It took a day or so for them to react and post a revised tool, but the damage had been done.
They are one of several formerly PC only vendors who rushed to the Mac front back in the spring after the Flashback scare. I would advise giving all of those folks time to prove they really understand OS X before installing it on any of my Macs. There are several others who have proven themselves.
Since you are running what I assume to be a fully up-to-date OS X 10.6.8 you are not vulnerable to any currently known malware capable of impacting OS X or other Mac software. That's no guarantee there won't be something new show up tomorrow, but the chances of any commercial anti-malware software catching it before Apple can react is pretty slim, IMHO.
Now if you are concerned about Windows malware, that's a different story.

No password asked for Protected Disk Image...

I set up a Protected Disk Image using the given instructions yet when I click on it it does not ask for the password I set for it...? I thought it worked by having to ask for the password before it opens...?

It can be, that the password is saved in the keychain. When it is, it not ask for the password.
When you create an Protected DiskImage, you can choose if the Password should saved in the Keychain or not.

To open a password protected ,Apple works created file in pages

When I tried to open a password protected .cwk file created using Apple works 6 in the Pages of iwork'08 I get a message that the ile cannot be imported as it is password protected and it doesnot give an open to enter the password. Unfortunately i donot have Appleworks 6 in my machine. However I am able to open all the other files of the same format which are not password protected.
Can any one help me out?

Welcome to Apple Discussions
Try icWord from Panergy Software. It has been known to open password protected files. You could then copy & paste into your Pages document or save as an AppleWorks 6 document again using a different name. You can download a fully-functional demo from the web site.

Open Firmware Password Protection?

Anyone had any luck setting this up? I don't see it on the DVD... I am hesitant to use the one from my Tiger CDs... anyone know how to setup Open Firmware Password Protection on Leopard?

Thanks for detailing your solution Mac Campbell.
Unfortunately I can't locate the Firmware Password Protection application in the directory you listed nor any other folder for that matter. I'm not confident its been installed on my system (clean install of Leopard btw). Could you please confirm its exact location for this Terminal newbie.
Many thanks in advance.

Will boot camp, VMware, or Paralles allow me to open a password protected powerpoint file?

Everyting I'm reading says I have to use either a windows computer, or have the creator send the document to me as unprotected.
Seems like if you didn't have access to a windows computer, and didn't have time to wait for the creator to send a new version, there would be a work around.
I've moved over Mac, and am trying to convince my wife to do the same. However, she's concerned that since she runs her legal firm out of her home office, she will run into situation in which can can get something done if she's on a Mac. I almost had her convinced this would never happen, and then she got this password protected powerpoint that she had to share with another attorney, who responded to her that when she tried to open it, she got a message that it couldn't open a password protected document. I tried it on my Macbook Pro and got the same message.
Anyone know if there's an easy work around for this?
(p.s. I saw a post where someone used NeoOffice for a similar situation with a password protected Excel document, but since I'm on Lion and it requires a $10 donation, I didn't want to shell out $10 just to find out it wouldn't work.)
Thanks,
Jeff

Yes... and it works...
Because you really are running a full-up Windows inside a window running on Lion....
VMWare emulates a hardware computer....   and you install Windows, then Microsoft Office for Windows...
And you end up with a "machine within a machine"...
BUT...   BUT....
You have to purchase one of each:
   VMWare Fusion
   Microsoft Windows
   Microsoft Office for Windows (not the same license as Microsoft Office for MAC..)
This won't be cheap... it will cost money...
But I do it all the time...

HT3345 How do I open a password protected excel file created on a PC? I get a message that the "file is encrypted and can't be opened"

How do I open a password protected excel file created on a PC in numbers 09, on a MacBook Air? I get a message that the "file is encrypted and can't be opened"

This is actually not true; I support users who are doing this w/ Excel 2011 (v14.2.2+) for Mac and Windows users w/ Excel 2003 & 2007. Win users are from finance dept, and who have pasword-protected various budget files. The Mac users are (surprise) "creative" users, who enter pw to unlock and edit these budget files.
These files are shared from a Mac server (running 10.6.8 server), and I do have an erratic problem where all users have read-only access to these pw-protected Excel files. The manual work-around has been to copy the troublesome file(s) and confirm users have full access again. I also do a shuffling of filenames, so that the new, working file has original file name.
FYI: the Mac server POSIX and ACL permissions are correct, and don't appear to be source of the problem.
It's easy an SMB file-locking issue or concurrent users trying to edit these files. I keep reminding them that Excel is not a database!

My FaceTime seemed not working and keep telling me The document "IMG_3054.JPG" could not be opened. FaceTime cannot open files in the "JPEG image" format. I clicked OK but it pop-up again. So that I can't turn off my computer at all.

When I tried to restart my computer, FaceTime will pop-up and a warning message The document “IMG_3054.JPG” could not be opened. FaceTime cannot open files in the “JPEG image” format. I tried to clike OK but this worning message keeping pop-up and I can not quit FaceTime. So that I can't turnoff or restart my computer.
Can someone help?

The next time that happens, try this keyboard shortcut.
Command + Option + Esc
That way you can "force quit" the Facetime App.
