You cannot create encrypted folders in, or encrypt folders with, Disk Utility.
You can create with Disk Utility encrypted disk images from folders. I assume that's what you mean.
The proper way to do it is by setting the immutable bit. Read here
<http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/immutableflags.html>
about the immutable bits (and the trouble they sometimes create).
The user immutable bit (uchg) is the same as the Finder lock, as described above by X423424X. It's a weak lock, with only a warning.
The system immutable bit (schg) is more powerful. Once is set, the item cannot be deleted in Finder (even though Finder will ask for your password and may give you the impression that it can trash it; it will end with an error).
I set it in Terminal, thus
$ sudo chflags schg my_encrypted_disk_image
and unset it also in Terminal
$ sudo chflags noschg my_encrypted_disk_image
(Note that, when you unset the system immutable bit, the change won't be reflected immediately in Finder, but the item can be trashed nevertheless.)

How can I get a movie that I created in IDVD to load in ITunes and stream to Apple TV?

How can I get a movie that I created in IDVD to load in ITunes and stream to Apple TV?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can't, but you have a few alternatives.
Best option: If you made the movie on the DVD in iMovie (or even another editing application) and still have the project, go back to the project and export it for Apple TV (using the Apple TV preset)
Next best option: If you still have the original movie that you put on the DVD, open it in QuickTime and export it for Apple TV (using the Apple TV preset)
Worst option: Use something like Mpegstreamclip (Quicktime Mpeg2 playback component required) to convert the DVD to h264.

How can I order a calendar that I created in iPhoto 7.1.5, now incompatible with Apple Store.

How can I order a calendar that I created in iPhoto 7.1.5 which is now incompatible with the Apple Store? I am using a mac pro 1,1 which cannot upgrade to the new version of iPhoto.

You could try to upgrade to an earlier iPhoto '11 version, since you are running Snowleopard.
iPhoto '11 should still be available as part of the boxed retail version of iLife '11.
Try to buy one at Amazon, then upgrade to iPhoto 9.2.x from the Support page: http://support.apple.com/downloads/#iphoto%209.2

How can i reuse same variables that i create using c:set var="index" /

hi all,
please some one helpme!!!!!!
how can i reuse same variable that i create using
<c:set var="index" value="${0}"/>
cause later in the program i use index to do some condition and based on that i increment ...
so for example if i say...
<c:if test="${index==0}">
<c:set var="index" value="${index+1}"/>
</c:if>
will it be like
if(index==0)
index++;
can i do like i did be4. if not what do i need to do to reuse. cause i use the variable atleast 5 time and its keep changing on diff condition level.

Have you tried it?
It should work, provided you are on the same page.
The c:set tag creates the variable in pageScope by default.
If you forward to another JSP you need to set the scope to be "request" so that it is still available.

How can I export a video that will loop indefinitely when played from a usb drive?

how can I export a video that will loop indefinitely when played from a usb drive?

As far as I know, PPro does not have that capability
If you were creating a DVD in Encore, you could put an "end action" on the video timeline to itself... so at the end of the DVD video it would go back to the beginning
I am not aware of any way to do that for a simple file

How can I retrieve email folders that were deleted in Thunderbird?

I had downloaded email folders from a webmail acct. I was adjusting the address for Thunderbird to obtain emails and when I looked back, the 4 folders of emails had been deleted. Can they be retrieved? If not is, there a way to undelete files on the hard drive with Windows 7?

old website server -
Connect to server by resetting the account details to the correct orginal settings and subscribe to see folders.
Then synchronize all folders, so you keep a copy on the computer.
'Keep messages for this account on this computer' should be checked if you want to synchronize messages between your local system and your mail server.
see:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/imap-synchronization#w_configuring-synchronization-and-disk-space-usage
When all folders have been synchronized you will have a copy of all emails and folders on your computer in your profile., but they can still be altered if they resynch with server.
So, go into 'offline' mode, which will stop any connecting with server.
In offline mode (two black screen icon shows in bottom left of Status bar), move all folders with emails into Local Folders.
Local folders is a special default account in your profile folder. The folders and emails in Local Folders are on your computer and will no longer be connecting to the server.
Do not change/modify the old imap account settings. When you are certain that all emails are in Local Folders, remove/delete the mail account.
Tools > Account Settings
select the old imap mail account name
click on 'Account actions'
select : Remove account'
click on OK
Create a new imap mail account for the new server settings. As folders are viewed remotely, these emails are on the server, so when you create a new imap mail account to connect to that server, you will see all your subscribed folders and their emails.
You can continue to see old emails in Local folders.
New Imap mail account will show the new emails in that mail account.

When I open a new tab by pressing the + sign, I am taken to another search engine other than Goodle. How can I prevent this so that I go to google?

When I open a new tab, I'm taken to a page that is not google. I want to start with google and go from there.

You can check the browser.newtab.url pref on the about:config page and set that pref to your preferred new tab page.
* the default new tab page with the tiles is about:newtab
* the default home page is about:home
* for a blank page you can use about:blank
The browser.newtabpage.enabled pref should be set to true to use the page set via browser.newtab.url as the new tab page.
See this article about the New Tab page (about:newtab):
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/new-tab-page-show-hide-and-customize-top-sites
Your System Details list shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize prefs each time Firefox starts.
The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created this file and normally it wouldn't be there.
You can check its content with a plain text editor (right-click: "Open with"; do not double-click).
The user.js file is read each time Firefox is started and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.
You can delete the user.js file if you didn't create this file yourself.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)

How can i change the user that open the rfc connection (sm58) from R/3?

Hi all,
i'd like to know how can i customize the user 'connecting' R/3 and BW, i mean: when i launch a data extraction a fixed user creates the rfc connection to BW (and i can see it from tcode sm58 in r/3), i need to use a different username so that it will come be more easy for me to reorganize the rfc queue in case of errors (we are doing some testing), it's possible to do something like this or everyone has to share the same user r/3 side?
I hope i've been clear...
thanks for the help
S.

Hi...
Its recommended that only one user executes the RFC because you must manage the authorizations for remote execution only with few users....in case on error you can send the user as a parameter of the RFC and you can buid the error message with this parameter and identify the user of execution...
I hope this helps you
Regards

How can I share a form that I filled out without the recipient being able to edit it?

I've created a fillable form to use as a grading rubric. I want to be able to share the completed form with students, but it's imperative that they not be able to change anything. Once the form is filled out, how can I save it as a regular pdf, not a form?

You don't want to use Preflight to flatten form fields since it is buggy for this. Instead use JavaScript (flattenPages method), or use this free JavaScript based tool: UVSAR : Selective Flattener tool for Adobe Acrobat 8, 9 and X
Overprint flattening isn't relevant to this.

How can I reformat my Mac Book Pro without using disc utility? My laptop keeps crashing, and needs to have everything reinstalled, but disc utility will no longer open, saying it 'quit unexpectedly'. I'm running Mac OS X10.6.8. I've lost install CD.

My laptop keeps crashing. This seems to happen only when it's streaming from sites such as Netflix, YouTube or Spotify.
Also, it stopped being able to run iTunes, and can't download Yosemite.
I want to wipe it and reinstall everything - I've already done a full back up.
The problem is disc utility will no longer open, saying it 'quit unexpectedly':
I'm running Mac OS X10.6.8 and I've lost install CD.
I have no idea what to do, but need to get this sorted as quickly as possible as I need my laptop for work.

Even if you could open Disk Utility you can't reformat a disk while you are booted from it. You will have to use the install CD. Ring the Apple Online Store at the number given at bottom left of this page and give them the serial number of your Mac. You should be able to get the Snow Leopard install disks for a nominal fee.

How can I back-up folders that I've created within my Thunderbird e-mail program?

When I took my computer in to Best Buy, where I purchased it, I was told that they could not extract and back-up the info in the various e-mail folders I created within Thunderbird. This was unacceptable to me in that I want that info, so I'm asking how I can create a folder(s) in Thunderbird that can be backed up should it be necessary to wipe my hard drive/operating system clean?
Thank you.
LW

First take your computer to a REAL repair shop, not Best Buy.
Mozbackup is the best for backing up Firefox and Thunderbird.
Your profile is where your email and settings are stored. It is just a file like any other and any competent computer person would know this and be able to back it up for you. TheGeek Squad does not employee any of these.

How can I list all folders that contain files with a specific file extension? I want a list that shows the parent folders of all files with a .nef extension.

not the total path to the folder containing the files but rather just a parent folder one level up of the files.
So file.nef that's in folder 1 that's in folder 2 that's in folder 3... I just want to list folder 1, not 2 or 3 (unless they contain files themselves in their level)

find $HOME -iname '*.nef' 2>/dev/null | awk -F '/' 'seen[$(NF-1)]++ == 0 { print $(NF-1) }'
This will print just one occurrence of directory
The 'find' command files ALL *.nef files under your home directory (aka Folder)
The 2>/dev/null throws away any error messages from things like "permissions denied" on a protected file or directory
The 'awk' command extracts the parent directory and keeps track of whether it has displayed that directory before
-F '/' tells awk to split fields using the / character
NF is an awk variable that contains the number of fields in the current record
NF-1 specifies the parent directory field, as in the last field is the file name and minus one if the parent directory
$(NF-1) extracts the parent directory
seen[] is a context addressable array variable (I choose the name 'seen'). That means I can use text strings as lookup keys. The array is dynamic, so the first time I reference an element, if it doesn't exist, it is created with a nul value.
seen[$(NF-1)] accesses the array element associated with the parent directory.
seen[$(NF-1)]++ The ++ increments the element stored in the array associated with the parent directory key AFTER the value has been fetched for processing. That is to say the original value is preserved (short term) and the value in the array is incremented by 1 for the next time it is accessed.
the == 0 compares the fetched value (which occurred before it was incremented) against 0. The first time a unique parent directory is used to access the array, a new element will be created and its value will be returned as 0 for the seen[$(NF-1)] == 0 comparison.
On the first usage of a unique parent directory the comparison will be TRUE, so the { print $(NF-1) } action will be performed.
After the first use of a unique parent directory name, the seen[$(NF-1)] access will return a value greater than 0, so the comparison will be FALSE and thus the { print $(NF-1)] } action will NOT be performed.
Thus we get just one unique parent directory name no matter how many *.nef files are found. Of course you get only one unique name, even if there are several same named sub-directories but in different paths
You could put this into an Automator workflow using the "Run Shell Script" actions.

How can i get the user that has created a document

I only need to know wich user has created a document(purchase order).
For example, if user SALES1 creates a purchase order(100),in wich table/field is stored this information?(that tells me that user SALES1 has created purchase order 100).
Thanks in advance!

Hi
If you look in the table of the documents there is a field called "UserSign". This user sign then matches with a column "usersign" in OUSR. In ousr it has the user names and all the other details for all the users.
Hope this helps
