Files on my account are view/editable on all accounts.

Hello. All of the files on my main account are both viewable and editable on all of the (including non admin) accounts on my mac when doing a Spotlight search. I want to make it so that any files on a given account are viewable in that area only.
I've gone to the roots of folders on the sidebar such as "Documents" and chose "Get Info", and changed all the permissions to "Read/Write" for my account, and "No Access" for all other accounts, but this didn't seem to do anything at all.
I was just wondering if anyone knows how to lock out the files to everyone else, as this is a rather large security risk.

Really no telling what happened. Are they also still in the folders they were in (copied), or have they been moved out of the folders (cut)? If copied, you'll probably have to start selecting and deleting them off the desktop. You can click and drag over them to select multiple pix. If they were cut from the folders, you'll have to drag them back in. You can Command-click pix to select differrent ones that aren't side by side. I don't know of any automated way to do this. Seems like I did it once years ago.

  • Acrobat Pro XI is hanging after the pdf file I am trying to view/edit is opened. Do I need to re-install? Thanks..

    I am trying to view and edit PDF documents but Adobe freezes and I have to exit. I have been using the software for over a year with no issues. It is a subscriber version of Adobe Acrobat Pro XI.
    Rebooting my computer has not helped. This has been happening for over a week.
    How do I remove/ re-install the software. Windows 8.1 user.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi kevind45759405,
    Since you are an annual subscriber of Acrobat XI, you are eligible to install the latest version of this software i.e. Acrobat DC that has been launched today.
    You can simply install it from the Creative Cloud desktop application and activate it with your same Adobe credentials.
    Let me know how it goes.

  • My "edited" photos on my iPhone are not edited at all when I copy them to my computer.

    I spent hours cropping pictures on my iPhone using it's built in editing feature and I "saved" every single one.  Plugged in my iPhone to my Ultrabook to copy them and NONE of them have retained any of the edits I made.  ALL the pictures I cropped are back to their original picture size. Why aren't the edits I made on the photos applied to them when I import them to my computer?  And why does my iPhone ask me to "save" after I make changes if it doesn't really save them?

    The following has an explanation: iOS: Edited photos show original photo after import or in other apps

  • All the SSIS Packages are not editable to the all users after deploying to the other server

    Hi All,
    I am using sqlserver2012.
    How to make all the SSIS Packages are not editable to all users after deploying to the other server. is there any way to achieve this,
    if yes, could share the information how to do....
    Thanks in advance....

    Typically, you change the protection level as listed in the following steps:
    During development, leave the protection level of packages set to the default value,
    EncryptSensitiveWithUserKey. This setting helps ensure that only the developer sees sensitive values in the package. Or, you can consider using
    EncryptAllWithUserKey, or DontSaveSensitive.
    When it is time to deploy the packages, you have to change the protection level to one that does not depend on the developer's user key. Therefore you typically have to select
    EncryptSensitiveWithPassword, or EncryptAllWithPassword. Encrypt the packages by assigning a temporary strong password that is also known to the operations team in the production environment.
    After the packages have been deployed to the production environment, the operations team can re-encrypt the deployed packages by assigning a strong password that is known only to them. Or, they can encrypt the deployed packages by selecting
    EncryptSensitiveWithUserKey or EncryptAllWithUserKey, and using the local credentials of the account that will run the packages.

    You can use Adobe's free DNG converter to convert proprietary raws to the universal DNG raw format. Here are the links:
    Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Adobe DNG Converter 9.0
    Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Macintosh : Adobe DNG Converter 9.0
    Converting to JPEG will be an extra step afterwards.

  • ISE 1.2 Sponsor Group - "View/Edit Accounts" Setting not working as expected

    Hi,
    we need a sponsor account that is not allowed to see the Account List (so the Accounts that were created) on the sponsor UI. The sponsor should be only allowed to create an account, to send his credentials via E-Mail or to print them.. and that's all
    So I configured the rights as you can see in the attachment, but when I choose No for "View/Edit Accounts" the user is able to see ALL ACCOUNTS. When I just choose "Own Accounts" then the user sees just his own Accounts, so the 2nd setting works properly.. the first behaviour seems like a bug to me.. did anyone else have had this problem too?
    Thanks!

    Choose one of the following options for View/Edit Accounts:
    –No—Sponsors are not allowed to edit any guest accounts.
    –All Accounts—Sponsors are allowed to edit/view all guest accounts.
    –Group Accounts—Sponsors are allowed to edit guest accounts created by anyone in the same sponsor user group.
    –Own Account—Sponsors are allowed to edit only the guest accounts they created.

  • My file names have disappeared in grid view. Thery have been replaced with a dark bar along the bottom of the previews. If I toggle using the command u it hide the bar but I still can't see the file name. In list view all the file names are OK.

    My file names have disappeared in grid view. Thery have been replaced with a dark bar along the bottom of the previews. If I toggle using the command u it hide the bar but I still can't see the file name. In list view all the file names are OK.

    The dark bar is caused by the option "Show metadata below image".
    Check the settings for the metadata overlays in Grid view (basic and expanded) by clicking the little "badge" icon below the Browser and selecting "Edit". Is the filename still enabled in the list? And in a high enough position to have precedence for other metadata tags, if the space does not suffice to show all selected tags?

  • You are unable to log in to the File Vault user account "myaccount "...

    I know there are various posts already out there on remedies for recovering your data stored on a FileVault account when you receive the following message at the login screen; *"You are unable to log in to the File Vault user account "myaccount " at this time"*, but this genuinely worked for me despite AppleCare providing absolutely no assistance whatsoever. In fact, if I had followed their advise I'd be inconsolable right now having wiped my MacBook Pro and contemplating the prospect of rewriting my two essays due in 3 days time!
    I, in a moment of shear stupidity, decided to move the sparsebundle file in my one and only account to trash. Thinking nothing of my foolish actions I shut down for the evening without a care in the world. The next day I started up my computer as usual, and as usual I was prompted at the login screen for my password. I entered the correct password, but was alarmed to see the message above flash before my eyes. Without boring you all with what I did over the weekend waiting for AppleCare to open again on Monday morning. Anyway, this post is specifically for people who have put the sparsebundle of their FileVault-enabled account in the trash (NOT anything else!) without emptying it, of course! The other prerequisite is that you must REMEMBER YOUR FILEVAULT ACCOUNT PASSWORD!
    1. Firstly, you must insert *Disc 1 of the Mac OS X Install* discs.
    2. Restart your computer holding down the letter S (make sure you are holding this down BEFORE the start up noise sounds)
    3. Select the appropriate language and continue to the next screen (DO NOT go past the next screen, the WELCOME screen)
    4. At the grey bar at the top, under Utilities, select *Reset Password*
    5. Select the Administrator/Root account and proceed to change the password of this account to test
    6. Confirm the password by reentering it and click Save
    7. Restart your computer and at the login screen you should now be able to select an account named Other
    8. The username for this account is root and the password is test (the password you entered earlier)
    9. Using Finder, locate the Terminal utility, which can be found in *Applications --> Utilities*
    10. Enter the following, ignoring the bold of course (pay attention to lower cases AND spaces!): *defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE*
    11. Hit Enter
    12. On the next line, enter: *killall Finder*
    13. Hit Enter again
    14. Type: exit on the next line and close Terminal
    15. This has enabled the hidden files on your computer to be visible
    16. You then need to locate the sparsebundle file in the trash of your usual account folder (it could be 501, so search for that too) whilst logged in to the administrator account
    17. Once you have found it, click *Go to Folder* under Go in the grey bar and type /Users/
    18. Create a *new folder* at this location with a new username
    19. Move the sparsebundle from its present location to the folder you have just created
    20. Click Get Info on the new folder, and at the very bottom click *Apply to enclosed items*
    21. In *System Preferences --> Accounts*, create a new user with EXACTLY the same name as the folder you created (eg. Folder name = burtreynolds, new user = burtreynolds)
    22. A window should appear if you have done the above correctly stating *A folder in Users folder already has same name, would you like to use it?*
    22. Click OK
    23. Click *Show All* at the top of the Accounts window
    24. Restart your system and log in to the new account you have created
    25. The sparsebundle should now be visible
    26. Double-click on the sparsebundle, it will prompt you to enter a password
    27. Enter the password of your former account (if you have genuinely forgotten this password, I honestly can't help any further at this point)
    28. If the password is correct, the sparsebundle will automatically mount and you will have access to all the files
    29. NEVER EVER USE FILEVAULT AGAIN AND BACK UP ALL DATA YOU DON'T WANT TO LOSE!!!
    The above worked for me, and to say I'm mildly annoyed with AppleCare is, well, putting it mildly really!

  • Where are my edited files located?

    I recently needed to make room on my PC so I transferred my entire Pictures folder onto my external hard drive. Apparently any photos I had edited in CS5 then saved in Lightroom were moved and I cannot find where they are saved to locate in Lightroom. When I click on them in Lightroom it just says "This folder cannot be found". Its only for photos edited in both Lightroom and CS5, any that were only in Lightroom can be found on my external hard drive where I backed them up, I'm only looking for files with "edit" in them (e.g. _DSC6181-edit.tif). Any help in finding these files that were apprently moved would be great, thanks!

    There are no edited files. Lightroom stores all the adjustments in the catalog. It applies those adjustments to the image whenever you choose that image in Lightroom. Since you moved all of your images to the external hard drive, that is where they are located. And you are going to have to go through the process of linking everything up again.

  • How can I view/edit pse files in CS5?

    When I try to view files created in Elements 7, I get the PSE file logo, but it will not open or display the picture.  What is wrong?

    What kinds of files?  Are they .psd files?
    And you're using File - Open from Photoshop to view them?
    What operating system are you running?  There's a known issue with 64 bit OSs that .psd files don't show thumbnails nor work with the Windows Previewer.

  • What is it about this markup that breaks DW CS3 Design View Editing?

    Folks:
    I'm attaching very simple --and apparently completely valid-- markup that generates the text shown between the markers below:
    ------------start----------------
    yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda badda.
    ------------end----------------
    As you can see by examining the file, it contains only an span enclosing text and spaces, and some following breaks.  This file passes DW validation: no errors or warnings.
    If I open this file in DW CS3 Design View, select and delete the last word, "badda", the entire text --every "yadda"--  is also deleted.  All that text is really gone -- if I immediately save the file and re-open it, there is no text content at all, just the span pair,  spaces, and the trailing breaks.  This is completely repeatable.
    When you edit this file, do you get the same result?
    The attached file is a cut-down, simplified version of a production file that exhibits this issue. (That file also passes validation.)   When I delete single  words,  entire content paragraphs disappear.   So this is not just a point of curiosity.  I need to figure out how to fix the production code and avoid this problem in the future.
    What is it about the attached markup that causes this issue?  I've fooled around with this code quite a bit and the best I can figure out is that DW is confused when both the start- and end- span tags are followed immediately by a line break.  Inserting a space in either place makes the issue go away.   But the production code doesn't have any occurances of this pattern. And, anyway, line-breaks have no significance to html, just for source-code formatting, right?
    Am I missing something incredibly obvious?
    TIA

    Nancy O:
    Thank you for your response, which gave me  valuable clues to understanding the issues.   (Specifically, it led me to re-read and understand better the nitty-gritty of the HTML4 specs,  section 7, "The global structure of an HTML Document", especially 7.5.1 The BODY element.)
    I believe you are saying --in sum--  that to be reliably edited in DW, each source file must comprise a syntactically correct and complete HTML Document. 
    I am attaching a second file, "badcode2.html", modified substantially as you suggest.  It passes the DW validator, the validator.w3.org test, and the www.totalvalidator.com test.    No errors or warnings. 
    I do this:   Launch DW, open this file, choose Design View if necessary, select the final word of text, "badda", and activate Edit-->Cut (or Delete).   As before, all the other text is deleted as well. This is repeatable. 
    It seems to me this sample code satisfies your general principle.  Could I be misapplying the three validation tests?  Or that passing these tests does not assure the document  is syntactically correct and complete?   Can you recommend other tests? 
    I'd like to add the following two points as a matter of background and a bit of niggling: 
    --I'm aware  that complete HTML pages must contain <html> , <head>,  and <body> tags, although the HTML4 specification seems to say <body> tags are optional.   All my production pages, as served, contain these tags.   My underlying design is a php template with individual content files incorporated by inclusion.   There may be only one set of <html> , <head>,  and <body> in  a  page. The  "outer" template code provides these tags, and individual content files cannot contain a nested set -- so they must be "bare" markup.   Is DW able to support this design, in which "bare markup" files are seemingly unavoidable?    Is there a mechanism analogous to DW Design-Time Style Sheets to provide virtual existence of these tags so "bare markup" files can be successfully edited?  I've looked for such a mechanism but not found one.    Or some completely different method?   
    --You specify the inclusion of <p> or <h1> tags within the  body.    Is there some special significance of <p> or <h1>  with respect to stable editing in DW?  My reading of the HTML4 spec indicates that a single block element is the minimal requirement for body content. Either of these tags qualify, right?   But so does <div>, and that's what I use in my current example.    Am I misunderstanding something? 
    Bottom line,  I'm looking for a pragmatic solution for my problem:   Once in a while, among hundreds of  structurally similar "bare markup" pages I edit in DW without any problem,  I lose data.   If inserting an additional tag into all my content include files eliminates these occasional problems, I'm  willing to do that, as long as:  (1) There is an arguable technical basis for the addition,  (2) the added tag does not  produce anything visible on the served page, and (3) the validators don't flag the extra tag.     
    Suggestions, please! 
    Thanks, 
    hen3ry
