E Mailed Zip Files showing up as Password Protected

I export photos to a folder, create zip file, and then e mail them as a regular part of my business. Sometimes these show up to the recipient as a "Password Protected" file. Any idea why???

None, but I reckon that's either Mail or an OS X issue for your version of the Operating System. So I would post on one of those forums.

    No place to Double Click visible on pdf file-after opening a password-protected pdf

    Thanks Pat for your interest.
    Actually I am using Windows 8 (Not 8.1) and Adobe Reader Version XI (11.0.06)
    Now, the exact problem I am facing is that there are certain types of pdf files I am being sent which are Password pritected (it may not be a necessary condition, i don;t know) and after I have keyed-in the correct password, it flashes the message- "Double-click here to open your file". Now while using the earlier versions of Adobe (or maybe Windows) I used to see a peculiar Pin-shaped object on the screen, double-clicking which used to open the file. That object is somehow missing this time, so I have no place to double-click. Therefore I am not able to open the file.I may add that I have recently moved to Windows 8 from XP, so my knowledge of Windows 8 is not up to mark. Can you please help?

  • Import e-mail zip file to numbers Mac Pro 10.10.2 procesor

    Import e-mail into numbers Mac Pro 10.10.2 Yosemite can not open the zip file with data, names, addresses. Jerry

    Jerry,
    Numbers cannot open a zip file.  drag the zip file to the downloads folder or the desktop or where ever you like.
    Double click the zip file.  This should "unzip" the file (that is it will uncompress the file).
    then, hopefully, there is a Numbers file in the resulting files.  double click the numbers file

  • In mac mail attachment file showing like pic

    1. Sending file with mac mail its shows like picture
    2. There is paste brush like in MS Office, is it any option available in Mac.
    3. We want to know any option in mac outlook to copy attachment file. (Inbox)
    4. Outlook calendar, any option to enter multiple days’ entry.

    Don't use MS Office, so cannot help you with 2,3 or 4.
    As for 1,  When you attach the file - and it shows as an image, right click/option click on it.  Then select "Show as Icon", and the image will change to a small icon.  Note - this only affects how it appears on your computer - how it appears on the recipients' computer depends on their settings.

  • Can we create a Password Protected Zip file

    Hi,
    Can we set a password to a zip file using java code.
    This zip file may be extracted / opened using any third party utility such as Winzip, 7Zip etc
    Thanks In advance
    Regards

    Java can create zip files but cannot do password protection. You need to use some native java library or JNI calls. Refer to [http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=619940] or [http://code.google.com/p/winzipaes/]

  • Password protecting a Zip file in windows 7

    So I am trying to figure out how to password protect a zip file using the built in zipping utility in windows 7.  In windows xp and vista once you have created a zipped file you open the file and select file>add password.
    In windows 7 (currently using pro) there is no "add password" option, anyone have any idea why this is?  Or is there some other way of adding a password to a windows zip file that I am not aware of?  Am I being forced to add a 3rd party
    zip app in order to password protect files? 
    if so my other question is why would such a simple/convenient feature be removed from an operating system that is suppose to be superior then the previous?

    According to the Windows 7 Help file there is no such capability in windows 7:
    Can I protect files or folders with a password?
    No, you can't use a password to protect files and folders in
    Windows. However, some programs that run on Windows allow you to protect individual files with a password. For more information, check the Help for the program you're using.
    There are other ways to protect your files and folders in Windows. You can
    encrypt your files using Encrypting File System (EFS), manually specify who can access the folders or files by setting permissions, or hide them. Choose your method based on how secure the folders or files need to be.
    Encrypting is the most secure, while hiding the folders is the least secure.
    For more information about EFS, see What is Encrypting File System (EFS)? For more information about permissions, see
    What are permissions?

    Is it possible to password protect a single app like Mail?

    Password protect the Mac Mail app is useless,and would not prevent access to your mailboxes.Your email is stored in files under your home folder,so you must password your mail folder.

  • Problem in unzipping the zip files

    Hi,
    I have created a program to unzip the zip files. But when i try to zip it is creating the zipped files outside the folder where it is to be zipped.
    what is wrong with my code.
    if the zip file is migration.zip
    if the path inside the zip file shows
    and the path inside says this
    /codebase/scripts/
    it would create migration folder and create codebase folder outside the migration folder

  • Zip file is still too big

    After I zipped a lots of photos in one file, it showed the original was 30.5 MB, the zipped file shows it at 30.4 MB.
    Shouldn't the zipped file be significantly less than the original file?

    As has been mentioned, JPEGs are already compressed and attempting
    to compress them again will not achieve anything. I have seen cases
    where attempting to compress compressed files actually creates a zip
    file that is bigger than the original contents.
    You are stuck with what you have. Why not copy them off to DVD if
    you are trying to recover some disk space?

  • How to prevent unauthorized extraction of the zip files I created.

    Hi all,
    Can anyone help me in knowing abt this.
    Is there any way to prevent unauthorized extraction of the zip files I create using Java.
    Plz help friends.
    Thanks in Advance.
    -James

    Since you already found out that Java's zipping methods don't implement password protection, all you could possibly do is encrypting the contents.

  • HT1430 Pop-up shows name or password is incorrect.   Have changed password on both incoming and outgoing ports, no luck.

    Can anyone help?      Cannot receive or send mail, pop-up shows name or password incorrect.   Changed password on both incoming and outgoing, no luck.
    Have been at it all day long.     Any suggestions?

    Guess what? That's right! I switched on my laptop this morning and the moment I opened Thunderbird I received three emails - one of them informing me that I'd changed my password.
    So the problem was clearly at the server end, not mine.
    For anybody who is searching the Help Forums looking for help: be aware that you will find many messages like this one and lots of suggestions as to what YOU may have done wrong. The reality is that if you have this specific error message, it is probably a glitch in the system that randomly happens and is fixed, apparently without BT/Yahoo! knowing anything about it.
    It IS known about, has been known about for years, and will not be addressed as a problem in the near future.
    My recommendation "get a new email address!". If you MUST stay with the btinternet/btopenworld address then get used to the idea that every so often you will not be able to get into your email. Don't panic and don't go changing your settings as this will only confuse the matter when it comes back online - without any warning or advisory.
    I say this, not as a rant (although it fills that role as well) but as a genuine suggestion to avoid random problems that you will not be able to fix.
    This is the 21st centrury and we still have electronic messaging systems that breakdown randomly and without anybody aparently knowing why, or how to fix it. So much for tomorrow's world, eh?

  • Why is Get File Type.vi password protected

    Hi...  We have a code that was developed in LabVIEW 8.6...  We have a need to attempt to save this code all the way back to version 7.1...  I saved it back from 8.6 --> 8.5 --> 8.2.1 --> 8.0 with no issues...  But when I then try to save it back from 8.0 to 7.1 I encounter one LabVIEW 8 vi that has no equivalent functionality in 7.1...  And that one vi is
    C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.x\vi.lib\Utility\lvfile.llb\Get File Type.vi
    When I look at that vi in 8.x, to endeavor to see if I can replace its functionality by writing some code in 7.1, I find that the Get File Type.vi is password protected...  More out of curiousity than anything, why is that code password protected???  I wasn't aware that any of the standard purchased LabVIEW code came password protected...  Can anyone tell me why that is???  thanks...  bob..
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    That VI is using an internal callback into LabVIEW (i.e. non G-based code) to determine the type of the file.  I'm guessing the callback doesn't exist in 7.1, so you would need to write your own G-based implementation for getting the type of a file  in the 7.1 case.  The simplest solution would be to work with the extensions of the files...not perfect, but probably close enough assuming your files are well-named.  Also, the following VI can give you a bit more information about LabVIEW-specific files (independent of extension):
    LabVIEW 7.1\vi.lib\Utility\libraryn.llb\Librarian Get Info.vi

  • PDF Files are password protected.  I never set a password

    There are a lot of pdf files in the document section.  Must be book or magazine pages as they are titled "page101.pdf" and so on with a date underthem. 
    I tried to open one to see what it was and I got a "password protected" and a box to enter my password.  I never set a password for this app.  I tried using my Adobe password and my google password to no avail.
    How can I open them to see what they are?
    Thanks.
    Janet in NJ

    The request for a password has absolutely nothing to do with a password for the application or any relationship to your Google password.
    The message password protected refers to the PDF file that you are trying to open. Apparently, whoever created the PDF file either a PDF file creation or subsequently password protected the PDF files. You will need to contact whoever supplied those PDF files to you to obtain whatever the password is or passwords are.

  • Password protect streaming files?

    I'm looking at switching my whole home server setup from WHS over to Mac.  Currently I'm streaming off the home server using serviio to my DLNA devices in various parts of the house.  I'd like to switch over to a mac mini and add apple tv boxes in the rooms.  I'm curious if I can password protect certain files or folders that are saved on the server so that when you try to access them from apple tv you have to enter the password.
    Is this possible?
    Thanks!

    I do not think you can not protect actual files, but you can password protect the iPod.
    Go to the "Extras" menu, and press "Screen Lock". Here you can enter a 4 digit code (#s 0-9) that is required to turn the iPod on.
