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.

    That's impossible.  There is no 4g iPhone.
    You can purchase an iPhone4 however.

    A double-tap acts like a single tap and you need to use three fingers to scroll when VoiceOver is on:
    Press Home.
    Tap Settings. Then double-tap Settings.
    Tap General. Then double-tap General.
    Use three fingers on the screen to scroll to Accessibility.
    Tap Accessibility. Then double-tap Accessibility.
    Tap VoiceOver. Then double-tap VoiceOver.
    Tap "On" next to VoiceOver. Then double-tap "On" to turn it off.

    You can't delete them all at once on the iPad. You have to select them one at a time. Once the emails are in the trash, you can Delete All from there.

  • 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.

  • Could someone please tell me how I could post my ideas?

    I'm trying to post my ideas, but I can't do so without putting my idea in a Place, but I literally cannot put it anywhere.  All the options are all grayed out.  How can I get the right kind of access to post my ideas?

    No, there isn't a reason why I couldn't post it there, it's just that in the Ideas area, users can vote on whether or not they like the idea.  I thought it would be really cool to be able to do that because then Verizon could have all these new things they could add to their plans and features that would keep their customers happy.

  • HT4098 Could someone please tell me how I can receive a refund for a subscription that I was charged for that I wanted to cancel? How can I speak to a human about this?

    I had a subscription to something that was supposed to be cancelable by May 10th. I went to do this and I received an email saying that I had been charged again. If anyone has any advice on how I can get a live human to help me obtain a refund and truly cancel this subscription I would greatly appreciate it.

    There is no telehone support for itunes.
    Live humans respond to the Contact Us link.
    Just because it is not a telephone conversation does not make the people who help you any less human.
    Click Support at the top of this page then click the link under Contact Us.

  • Could someone please tell me how tro get my phone to hook up to itunes so i can open the phone

    please

    Sorry, but it's impossible to offer any specific help with so little information. We need details, including your model of iPhone, the operating system your computer is running, and the exact nature of the issue before anyone can offer any advice.
    Taking a change that you have a Windows system, perhaps this Apple support article will help:

  • Could someone PLEASE tell me how to set up more than one POP mail account.

    I am soooo frustrated. Before I upgraded to Tiger I had no problems setting up my mail accounts. Now, I can only set up one POP mail account. I have three mail accounts that I desperately need to set up from the same ISP server, all POP accounts. On Panther and earlier, all I had to do was add the accounts. Now I have ONE POP account and when I try to set up another I get an error message that I already have a POP account set up. Why is this happening and what happened to the old system that worked just fine. I am so annoyed with this. It simply defies logic!!!!

    I don't know if this will work or not, but why don't you try using bogus pop and/or smtp server information when you initially establish the accounts with Mail's setup wizard? Just continue through the "warning: cannot validate server" messages that the wizard will give you. Then go into Mail > preferences > accounts and highlight each of the new accounts, one at a time, and try changing the incoming pop and outgoing smtp mail server information to what it is supposed to be?
    For the "Outgoing" server just use the pull-down menu, to select it, and when all accounts are done, go into that same pull-down menu and choose "Edit Server List..." to remove the bogus smtp server information.
    Incoming should be just renaming that pop server in the "Incoming server" field.
    If that doesn't work, I've got something riskier you could try, again with no guarantees, and that is editing your ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist file using either the Property List Editor that comes with XCode Tools (will launch automagically when you click on that .plist file if XCode is installed) or with the pico editor in Terminal, and possibly renaming some folders in your ~/Library/Mail folder, too. Again, start with the bogus server info, then find those entries in the .plist file and make changes there.
    Note: if not familiar with the notation, "~" means your "home" directory.

  • TS3367 Facetime aap is missing on my ipad 2 I have checked the restriction area also.. Could u please tell me how can I install it now

    Facetime aap is missing on my ipad 2

    Hello,
    The ThumbsDown add-on appears to have last been updated over a year ago. You may want to email the developer to ask that they update so that it is compatible with the latest version of Firefox. Please see the articles [[Unable to install add-ons or extensions]] and maybe [[Re-enable add-ons that were disabled when updating Firefox]].
    If you are sure that you want to install the add-on regardless of potential issues, you can install this extension:
    * https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/checkcompatibility/
    I am not entirely sure how it works, but it sounds like you may need to go to your '''about:config''' page to change the '''extensions.checkCompatibility''' preference to false once it is installed. You might then be able to enable your ThumbsDown extension.
    Note: you may want to back up your profile first, please see the article [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]] for more information.
    In order to change your Firefox Configuration please do the following steps :
    # In the [[Location bar autocomplete|Location bar]], type '''about:config''' and press '''Enter'''. The about:config "''This might void your warranty!''" warning page may appear.
    # Click '''I'll be careful, I promise!''' to continue to the about:config page.
