How can encrypt certain documents on my mac

thanks in advance

If turning on FileVault 2 (System Preferences > Security & Privacy) is too much, as it will encrypt your whole drive, then one simple option is to use Disk Utility to create a read/writable disk image that is encrypted. All you need to do is mount it when you need it and unmount it to lock it up.

  • How can I synchronize Documents between two Macs

    My early 2007 iMac has been hospitalized for over two weeks waiting for a new logic board from Apple. I have a mid-2009 MacBook Pro to use in the meantime, but have never synchronized the two machines, so many files that I want/need are not available. When the iMac gets back home, I would like to copy the complete Documents fiolder from the iMac to the MacBook and then find some way of keeping them synchronized in the future. (Both my machines are running OS X 10.7.2.)

    you can check out syncmate - it syncs data between Macs. According to information at their website, folders can be synced in real time - seems like it's what you were looking for.
    According to information on their website you get 50MB for free and 200MB if you pay $40, I don't know about you but I fill 50MB very fast.

  • How to encrypt the document number in URL

    Hi All,
    I am working on a project where I need to send a URL to the user in his email, the URL contains the document number in it. when the user clicks on that URL a webdynpro application will open with data prepopulated based on the document number, now what I want his how can encrypt the document number in the URL when sending it to the user. so basically the user who gets the URL should not be able to see the document number in the URL.
    Please advise.
    Thanks,
    Rajat Garg

    Thanks again for the reply and now I am able to encrypt and decrypt my document number... one more question please : will it be possible to chnage the whole URL to some basic message type URL for eg:
    let's say our URL is "http://testdoc/post?mssg" and I want to change this to as "OPEN DOCUMENT" and when user clicks on ""OPEN DOCUMENT" it will still direct to the original destination that is our original URL.
    I have been told that we don;t want to maintain custom table until and unless it's our last choice.
    Thanks,
    Rajat

  • How can i share documents with different users on the same mac?

    How can i share documents with different users on the same mac?

    Shared how? The other users can read the documents or you all can read and write the documents?
    The first is easy just place the documents in /Users/Shared anyone can access the files there and the other users will be able to read them.
    The second is a bit trickier.

    iwork for ios accepts for upload and also happily opens all your Microsoft office files, from Office97 standard doc/xls/ppt to the 2011 versions of docx,xlsx,pptx and various other of these format extensions.
    Notice : the upload feature in www.icloud.com is only active if you in fact own these apps on your iPhone/Pad/pod. it is not a feature of iWork for the Mac ( iwork09 ) which itself is not icloud capable at all.

  • HT202879 I am switching to Apple macbook pro from Windows laptop.  Is Apple compatible with Microsoft Office?  How can I transport from Windows to Mac?  What I have saved on external hardrives, will I be able to open it on Mac?

    I am switching to Apple macbook pro from Windows laptop.  Is Apple compatible with Microsoft Office?  How can I transport from Windows to Mac?  What I have saved on external hardrives, will I be able to open it on Mac?

    Office for Mac, http://www.microsoft.com/mac/products, can open/edit/create Office documents.If your external drive is formatted NTFS then you can copy the Office documents to your computer and work on them. You won't be able to save the files back to your NTFS formatted drive. But you will be able to save the documents to your internal drive. You can move all the external files to your internal drive then format the external drive for Apple. Then you can copy the files back to your external drive for ongoing use.

  • How to organize scanned documents on my mac

    I would like to find how to organize scanned documents on my mac so that they are cagorized and identifiable files

    I would change the file name from "Scan001" (or however your scanner saves them) to something helpful like HikingTrip1, HikingTrip2, etc. Then drag and drop them into folders you create with more names helpful to you. To quickly change a file name you can highlight the file icon and then single click on the file name portion and it will allow you to type. Is this what you meant?

    how cane i find a stolling apple mac book pro 15"
    i just have the serial nubber

    Report your stolen computer to local law enforcement. You will need the serial number to make a complete report. Contact your insurance to see if they will pay a claim based on the theft. Also if it was purchased with a credit card, contact them and see if they will cover replacement - some cards do within a certain period.
    Best of luck.

  • How can I transfer files from my mac to my iPad, e.g., mp4 files.  Do I have to use iTunes?

    How can I transfer files from my mac to my iPad in an easier way?  I'd like to put some movies on, and I can use iTunes, but is there another way?  I have transferred epub books using Dropbox.  Movies eat up a lot of dropbox space and the iPad has trouble getting them.

    USB disk. You still have to go through iTunes.
    Connect device to computer/mac
    Select your device in iTunes menu.
    Apps...
    At thebottom of the page you will see the app.
    Select it and the Add for windows and + for mac
    Hope that helped.
    In the long run there is no way to access or uplood data on your device without iTunes unless you JailBrake....

    How can I remove iCloud from my Mac Book and iPad and Mac Book Air and then just reload back on the MB Air and iPad only, which have a different user with a separate Apple ID?

    You have quite muddied up the waters, I'm afraid. Assuming you now have a single GUID partition formatted Mac OS Extended, Journaled, you should try reinstalling Lion:
    Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
