Help, i cant password protect when i publish to my .Mac account

Whenever i try to put a password-protect my site i keep on getting an error message when im publishing to my .Mac account. "there was an error updating your .Mac account". When i publish my site without the password protection everything goes smoothly and no problems.
Is there some setting i dont know of that is preventing me from doing so?
Does it take time for this feature to work? (i only bought the subscription and registered to .Mac yesterday)
Mac OS X (10.4.5)

nah... giving up now. cant password protect the site
told .mac support, they said its a problem with my ISP. Im inclining to agree. Unfortunately the ISp dont have mac tech support. so yeah.
hope the next few updates are less awry.

Password protected document created in Acrobat XI (Mac) can't be opened by Reader XI (Windows)

I have a document that I created and password protected using Acrobat 11.0.2 (Mac).
I can open it with the same password using Reader 11.0.2 (Mac) but not Reader 11.0.2 (Windows). On Windows I get an "invalid password" message.
Anyone else found this?

I can tell you in my testing that my results were consistent regardless of whether I typed the hyphen at the keyboard or pasted it in from a text document.
So, that still leaves us with "is this a bug?" or "is it a prohibited character?"
Obviously, in these days of concern over password strength, it is important to understand the range of available character set, so we can select effective (and legal) characters and not have to deal with the trial-and-error of trying to learn which characters to avoid.
I am also still confused as to why the exact same password, entered in the exact same manner succeeds on one platform and not another. Unless the input dialog is silently converting the character (which I think could only be diagnosed with a debugger), results should be consistent. After all, the "P" in PDF does stand for "Portable".
Do you have the resources to try and reproduce my test case? I would be curious to know if the problem occurs both ways or just Mac->Windows.

Hi, I hope someone can help.... When I open a new user account, which I want to set parental control on, the screen keeps freezing once the account is open. The wee rainbow circle appears and I can't do anything. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks

Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
Report any errors it found for Disk Repair, don't need the ones for Permissions Repair.
Try it again & see if anything changed, but have Activity Monitor open & Show All Processes & sorted on CPU%, also have Console open if we can... maybe not when switching, but we'll see.
Does this happen if you just try to create a new admin user???

Publishing to Mulitple .mac accounts

Hi. I have multiple .Mac accounts and am currently working on two websites in iWeb. The problem I'm having is getting the 2nd website to post to another .Mac account via iWebs "publish" functionality. They both post under the same .Mac account user URL site. Is there away to do this so each site posts to the proper .Mac accounts website?
Thanks,
-J

James,
I think your understanding of the matter is correct. But I would suggest that the cleanest and most elegant option is probably the second method which involves creating a second system user account for the second .Mac account. Then the only thing you would need to do is to log into the right account in OS X to publish to each .Mac account.
Changing the .Mac preferences back and forth is cumbersome and still doesn't do away with the problem of having both sites under the same Domain file. With separate system accounts, each .Mac account will have its own Domain file which you will not have to keep track of. Changing .Mac preferences back and forth also affects other things that you might use, like iChat or syncing to your iDisk. Very messy.
Anyways, good luck with this. Do me a favor and mark this reply with the little buttons above as either "helpful" or "solved." Thanks.

Help in Setting Password Protection to a Page in DW MX2004

I need to add password protection to a page. How do I do this in DW MX2004?
Any help would be appreciated.
Dreawmweaver newbie.

Depends on the following:
What kind of server are you on - Linux or Windows?
How secure do you need this to be?
How many pages do you want to protect?
How many unique usernames & passwords do you need?
If your requirements are simple, start by contacting your host. They may provide an Admin Panel from which you could set up a password protected folder.
Or do a Google search for .htaccess and .htpasswd.

Help! I Password Protected My Zen

Hi, I'm new here and I new help. While fooling around with my Creative Zen Vision W 30gig player the other I managed to password protect the videos and some pictures. I have no idea what I plugged in for the password and now can't view this protected stuff. I feel pretty dumb. I've tried a reboot, reinstalled the firmware but nothing's worked. Am I doomed to a reformat?
Anita

i'm afraid so it will end up to that.

Help - Trying to password protect a section of a DW CS4 website

Iam not sure how to proceed. I have one section that is for employees and I need to password protect it. I don't need it to be indvidual passwords. One will do.
Thank you for your help. I am completely lost.

Log into your host control panel and depending on what version your host is running, you should see a way to password protect a folder. You will then assign a username and password. Put all of the files you want to protect into that folder.
You could also use server side scripting and a database to secure specific pages, but that sounds like overkill for your needs.

Help- how to password protect an external hard drive?

I'm just stuck. There must be a way to encrypt or password protect an external hard drive. No?

The easiest way is to make an encrypted disk image of the folder contents with Disk Utility. Go to Disk Utility's File menu -> New -> Disk Image from Folder. There you can pick an encrypted disk image. Once you have made that image, delete the folder that it came from and leave the image behind. Mind you, there is always the risk you might lock yourself out permanently from that data if the image becomes corrupted. You are safer keeping the external hard disk in a physically safe place when not in use.

Attachments appearing as password-protected when they're not

Several times recently, I've had clients (on windows) tell me that attachments I've sent them in Mail -- whether they're zipped archives or single files -- indicate that a password is required before the file can be accessed. I've set no password protections, though, and this never happened before the past week. Anybody else having the same problem? Is this an issue with a recent upgrade?

Here's your problem. Select the objects and click on the Expand button in the Pathfinder panel
After this just click on the straight lines to delete.

Can't read a password protected pdf created in windows on mac

How to create password protected folder (with unlimited storage) on Mac?

I want to create password protected folder on my mac. I tried the method where you create a dmg file and mount it whenever you want to use the folder and unmount it when you don't. However, this method only lets me store, for example, 2 gb data. I cannot store beyong that level as an error message pops up saying... "the following files cannot be copied because there is not enough storage space in the dmg file"
How can I create a passpord protected folder which can store as much available space that is on my mac?
Is there an application that does that? Suggest me some names if someone already is using something like that.
Thanks much!

You need to choose the size of the image when you create it. If you are getting that message, you only set the image to hold 2GB of data.
If you choose a Sparse Disk Image or a Sparse Bundle Disk Image, you can set it to any size, however, it will only be able to store up to the space available on your Hard Disk. Physically, it will only be the size of the stuff you saved into it, but It doesn't shrink automatically when you remove things.
A Sparse Bundle differs from a Sparse Image in that it writes the contents to small files so that when Time Machine sees changes, it only backs up the small file change, not the 100 GB (or whatever) of the total image size.
Notice that having created a 10 TB disk image (as shown above), there is only 80 GB available on the mounted image as that is all the space I have available on the 500 GB drive.

Password Problems when trying to network two macs

Hi, every time I try to network my MacBook Pro (running 10.5) to my G4 FW800 (running 10.4) as a Registered user I get asked for a password. No matter how many times I put in what I think is the correct password it keeps telling me it's the wrong password. The passwords I'm using are the same ones I use when asked to allow installs and other system operations on each machine - I even tried using opposing passwords the G4 on the MacBook and vice versa) Obviously there is a another, secret password that I know nothing about and I'm buggered if I know what it is, where it is or, how to change it.. Can any one PLEASE PLEASE help me here??????

OSX is designed to handle multiple users, and each user account (normally) has a password. Since there can be many user accounts (I have at least 3), you log into a specific account with it's password. You can also set a preference to automatically log in, which sounds like what you have done.
When you first set up your machine, did you specify a password? When you install applications, what password do you use to authenticate as an administrator? The password that you set up for a user account on a particular machine is the one you need to use when connecting to that account from a remote machine.

Is it possible to open a password protected pages document made on my mac on my iPad?

I can't find the answer anywhere in the Pages documents or googling, so I thought I'd ask here. I own Pages on my ipad, but not my imac. The ipad version won't create a password protected file, but the mac version will. Could someone who has Pages on both their mac and ipad do a quick test for me to answer this. It should be as easy as:
1) create and save a password protected document on the mac Pages
2) sync it through icloud to the ipad.
3) try to open it on the ipad Pages.
4) report back
If the answer is yes, I'll probably buy Pages for the mac, but if not, probably won't.
Thanks in advance,
Paul

Publishing without a .mac account??

Hi all,
I have a .mac account but want to create a site with lengthy podcasts and the like. So i have some server space I use which I want to publish my site to. I know how to use a client and upload the whole folder but is there a way in iweb or a client that only uploads only the changes as re-uploading a large size site every time I add to it would be a nightmare.
Any help as I would very grateful.

A list of Mac FTP clients is here:
...but it's not clear which are able to upload only changed files. If you click on this old two-page thread you'll see some diverse opinions:
Another poster says he uses:
Yummy for FTP...
http://www.yummysoftware.com/
and Web Site Maestro for optimizing and uploading updates using "Smart Handling"...
http://www.tonbrand.nl
(Their web site says: The Smart Handling feature and the combined Optimize/Upload function offer you *one-click optimizing and publishing of all your changed pages*.)

How do I publish after renewing .mac account?

IWeb was working fine until I had to renew my .mac account now when I hit the publish button a window pops up that tells me to either test drive a .mac account or if Im already a member to sign in. When I go to my system pref. it already has my info. Anyone have any ideas?

An interesting post, my .mac runs out in five days and I get a .mac splash screen each time after I have published telling me how long I have left. It alos includes a Renew button, even though I have enterd all the details for auto renew. Hmmmmm!
