How can I hide files within an image?

I have seen and heard of this being done on windows. In fact, I have seen it done here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6AQL55zMR4&feature=PlayList&p=45EA6ACAEB5F7BC9&i ndex=5
Is this possible on a mac?

I can't imagine why you'd want to do this but the same exact trick works on a mac with basically no variations.
make a zip file of super "secret" files. get a regular jpeg file. run the following command in terminal
cat /path/to/jpeg path/to/secret/archive > ~/desktop/secretpicture.jpg
put the correct paths to the files in question in the above command
this will make a "secret" file secretpicture.jpg on your desktop which will look and behave like the original jpeg but will also contain the zip archive. to unzip it run this in terminal
unzip ~/desktop/secretpicture.jpg
enjoy.

How can I hide file names in a photostream?

How can I hide file names in a shared photo stream on icloud. I don't want people to see how many pictures I take at an event. Can this be done to pictures already posted?

The Shared Photo Stream uses the filename of the original image file as the title that is shown in the stream. If you want to hide the original filename, export the image to a folder in the Finder, rename it, then reimport it to share it. You can rename the files directly when exporting.
Or, if you do not mind to change the names of the originals in Aperture use the command "Metadata > Batch change" and change the title of the image, with the option "Apply to Original file" enabled and "Add metadata from" set to "None".
To rename the photos already shared, delete them from the Shared Album and share them again.

How can I hide files on an external drive?

Hello.
I'm not sure if my subject line is even accurate for what I'm trying to do. Basically, I have 2 external hard drives connected to my MacBook Pro. On one drive, I have about 65 GB of audio files that I use for my music work. On the other drive, I would like to have those files backed up, but I don't want OS X to try to use the files from that drive. Is there a way I can lock them so they're there only as a backup?
Thanks you!

Hi,
The only easy way I have found to hide files on my Mac is to use a widget called "Abracadabra". It basically adds a "." to the front of a file or folder name to hide it.
That may not be what you are looking for.
What are you using to back up your audio files? Carbon Copy Cloner or similar? If you have your Volume name for the backup drive named accordingly, you shouldn't have any issues. I have a few folders I back up to a volume I call "Audio Backups". These are just VST's I really don't want to reinstall if I have a failure. I run CCC every time the VST's get an update. Logic always uses the original copy though.
I guess I don't understand why you feel you need to "hide" the back-up.
The other option is to use Time Machine I guess if you are on Leopard.

How can you hide file extensions?

Hello i have a ton of pictures in seperate folders with the extensions .JPEG and i really hate that it shows. I have tried going to the finder and unchecking the show all file extensions, but it does not fix that issue. I also saw this in another topic but i haven't been able to understand it.
Open the Script Editor in the /Applications/AppleScript/ folder and paste in the following:
tell application "Finder"
set extension hidden of every file of entire contents of (selection as alias) to true
end tell
Select the folder enclosing the documents in the Finder, and press the Run button in the Script Editor. If they are enclosed by multiple folders or are at different levels in the folder structure, select the first folder which encloses all the documents.
(22397)
I don't know if it still works. Im also not sure where i put the folder. I have tried programs but they take away the extension and make the picture not open up then.
Please if you can help

yes i found it, but this is how i enter it i dont think its right:
tell application "Finder"
set extension hidden of every file of entire contents of (selection as alias) to true
end tell
/Users....
then i get Syntax error "/"

How can i hide a pages file from other users

How can I hide a pages file so other users can't open or see it?

My own tip is to save this kind of doc in an encrypted disk image (the .dmg items)
Such item resemble to every downloaded installer so it doesn' take special attention and the encryption scheme is an efficient one.

HT204003 how can i print a boarding pass image file from passbook?

how can i print a boarding pass image file from passbook?

I do not believe that Passbook supports printing. You can email, but not print. Then again I'm not sure what it actually emails, if that is a graphic of the card or what. I'm going to try it with my Starbuck's card, but there is no setting for printing within Passbook.
EDIT: Actually it sends the email as an attachment for a Passbook card file, that cannot be handled by my computer. Hope that answers your question.

How can I hide my flv files?

hello,
I made a flash project that I published as an exe file. this project calls a number of external flv files. Now, I want to hide these files, because it's my own work and I don't want anyone to steal it, how can I hide these files?
my project will be published on a cd.
thank you for your help

Well the best feature of having all the content on the CD is that it's all self contained, no need to go someplace else (like the Internet) to get content. But it certainly is possible to store the .flv files on a Web server and have Flash content on the CD go to the Internet to download and play the videos. Little more complex to get it all working AND then the user must have an Internet connection available or they can't see the videos. But even then... if it's on the Internet it can be copied.
Or look into sone type of encryption program:
http://www.truecrypt.org/
http://www.axantum.com/axcrypt/
but I'm not sure that you can use the content without first decrypting the data.
As for watermarking and adding a copyright notice, this is normally done when the video is first being edited in whatever software is used to capture and edit the original video file. Once the file is already created, there are software programs to add the mark... something like this:

Best of luck!

How can I view information about an image, such as the file name and exposure, on the Ipad?

how can I view information about an image, such as the file name and exposure, on the Ipad?

You can't with the built-in Photos app, but there are apps such as iPhoto which allow you to see the exposure details (aperture, shutter speed, focal length, ISO). PhotoMeta also shows you that info

How can i import files to trial version LR5.6? Message:Your disk "MobileBackups", to which you are importing images, is low on space.

how can i import files to trial version LR5.6

I currently am up to about 65,000 images cataloged in LR. I backup on launch several times a week and have used the "relaunch and optimize" function periodically as well. I am a bit reluctant to do anything aggressive as, even though I have encountered this warning 6 or 7 times in the past 4-5 months or so I have never had to shut down. I have emptied the recycle bin (which, as I mentioned, usually has very little in it) and then I continue and notice no impairment of function. So at present it represents more of an annoyance and a bit of a mystery only. Maybe I will just report this to Adobe and sit tight unless someone can see an obvious explanation and correction here.
I appreciate all of the input and advice I have received already.

How can I hide a text label as I would a control or indicator?

As I have multiple indicators that must have the same identifier to the operator I can not use the indicator label as the items identifier. At times I want to hide the indicator and label. How can I hide the label? Please recall a text label just sits on the front panel as desired. It isn't within a raised or lowered box. In the attached sample I would like to hide "MyLabel" when the date indicator is hidden.

Here�s a way. Its a little involved, but it will work:
1. Customize a control or indicator to remove the border (I used a string control)
a. Right click on the control or indicator, go to �Advanced � Customize�
b. Click on the wrench on the tool bar to enter edit mode
c. Select the border and drag it off to the side
d. Reduce the size of the border to a single pixel (it won�t let you delete it)
e. Rubber band a box around the 1 pixel border to select it and use the cursor keys to move it within the �white space� of the string control. It will effectively disappear. You will NOT be able to move it with the mouse as LV will try to resize the border instead of moving it.
f. Using the color tools �suck up� the background color of your vi and �paint� i
t into the white space of the control.
g. Make the control the correct size to hide your label(s). Make sure it is right as you will NOT be able to resize the control outside of the �customize� function (i.e.: while on your front panel)
h. Click on the tweezers to go back to customize mode.
i. Give your control a descriptive name
j. Right click on the control, go to �Visible Items� and uncheck �label� to hide the label.
k. Save your new control
2. Back on your front panel, place your new control over what you want to hide and programmatically make it visible or invisible as desired.
I have included a copy of your original vi, modified to hide and unhide your label. I have also included the customized string control that accomplishes this. You may resize the control as needed by �customizing it as described above.
The only disadvantage to this method is that if you want to hide multiple labels they must be in the same area of the front panel. Otherwise you must have seve
ral �hiding� controls.
An advantage is that you will not have to make the original control or indicator (i.e.: the date indicator) visible or invisible as it can be hidden as well.
Hope this does what you want.
Good Luck.

How can you hide a Continue button until all clickboxes are clicked?

I have seen similar questions to this one, but none seemed to be the exact situation as mine.
What I have: Several images on a screen. When a user clicks an image it is replaced with another image. I am using clickboxes for this task. I do not wish for them to toggle back and forth. Once they click the original image it should stay changed.
What I am trying to do: Once a learner clicks all the images (in no particular order) a Continue button appears that allows them to go to the next screen.
If anyone has some suggestions on this situation please let me know, thanks.

I cannot log in on the forum for the moment, so will try by answering by
mail. I was aware of that problem (have presented those solutions so
often), thought that since you left all images visible once the click box
was clicked it wouldn't be a problem.
Two possible solutions:
   1. Easiest one: add a statement in the Always decision that will Hide
   the click box just clicked. It has no sense to click it another time. That
   will mean that you still can do it with a shared action but that shared
   action will have two parameters now, the second one being the click box
   that has to adapted on each application of the shared action.
   2. If you don't want to make the click box hidden (which means at the
   same time disabled), you'll need a user variable for each click box,
   starting with a default value of 0, and toggle it in the Decision 'Always'
   to 1. The second decision will then need a condition that checks the value
   of all the user variables (with AND) and shows the Next button only when
   all variables have the value of 1.
Sorry, but have to mail, cannot offer a screenshot in that case.

Hi,
In the xlviewer.aspx, we can find the two buttons like this:
To hide them, you need to add the CSS into the xlviewer.aspx which stays in:
