How do I create an un-copy-able file/folder/drive?

Hello thanks in advance for help.
I'm trying to prepare a thumb drive with confidential financial information. I only want to see the information off the drive, but I don't want it to be copied or stolen from it.
How can I create a thumb drive that is read only, a folder that is read only, or make my files on the drive read only?
Do I have to make those changes after the files are on the device?
Or, better said, how can I create a file/folder that I can copy TO a drive, but not FROM that drive.
Thanks

Hi, and welcome to the forums.
There is no 100% secure data. None. If the CIA or NSA wants it, they'll get it.
In the real world, you might be better off using Disk Utility (in your Applications/Utilities folder) to create an encrypted +Disk Image+ or +Sparse Bundle Disk Image.+ Give it a good password and put your sensitive files in it.
Then anybody who gets the drive will have to know the password or find another way to decrypt it. Short of somebody like the CIA or NSA, that's pretty unlikely.

Don't you just love changes in interfaces?
I found the answer to my question.
When you attach a device (iPhone, iPad) to your Mac, in iTunes 12 in appears as a tiny icon in the second "row" of the iTunes display. Click the icon and the familiar iTunes display for the device appears. From there, on the Summary screen, you can see the dates of the backups of the device (iCloud and backup to the computer). You can also use the button to backup to the computer.

How can I use Applescript to copy a file's icon to the clipboard?

Hello,
How can I use Applescript to copy a file's icon to the clipboard?
Thanks.
Lennox

there is no way to do that that I know of. but you can extract an icon of a file to another file using command line tool [osxutils|http://sourceforge.net/projects/osxutils]. you can then call the relevant command from apple script using "do shell script".

How do I create a hyperlink to another file?

How can I create a hyperlink to another file on my Mac?

Do you really mean "Hyperlink" as in a web page link to your file?
Or do you want a Mac OS X Alias icon placed in a different folder or on your desktop to a file? Hold Command-Option keys while dragging the file to a new folder, will create an Alias.
Or perhaps a Unix Symbolic Link (similar to a Mac OS X Alias, only different). This is done from a Terminal session using "ln -s /path/to/your/file /path/to/folder/where/symlink/to/be/placed"

How do I create an alias of my home folder with the little house icon to appear on my desktop, please?

In Mavericks, how do I create an alias to my home folder, complete with the little house icon, to put on my desktop, please? I can get the folder, but not with the icon.

Open Finder. Under Preferences > Sidebar > Devices > check Hard disks.
Navigate to your home folder from "Macintosh HD" (or whatever the name of your boot volume is) in the finder. Set the view to column.
Once you reach the path of your home folder, select it, hold down the key combination option + command and drag the alias to your desktop.

How to make adobe reader non copy-able

Hi,
I am using adobe reader 9, I need to create an PDF using MS, and I would not want the text to be copy-able,
checked the security setting, the content copable: Allowed
But I do not know how I can make it Not allowed.
Or just any way to make the content not copy-able.
Because I told my boss just use photoshop and save as PDF,
and he want it to be more simple, he want it to be done straight from MS,
and he want to make the contents non-copyable
Thanks,
Alex

More information about setting up password security is in the Acrobat help doc. For a number of tutorials about security, see: http://acrobatusers.com/learning_center/find?page=1&topic=9

How can you create a virtual copy in a Lightroom plugin?

I looked over the Lightroom SDK and did not see any documentation on creating a virtual copy. Is there an undocumented API for this?
If not, is there a plan to add this into the SDK?

Hi Matt,
Yeah, I have some good news and some bad news:
- Good news: Keyboard stuffing (as implemented in the elare framework) works equally well on both platforms, provided the appropriate keystroke exists on both platforms.
(Mac version uses applescript, Windows uses autohotkey - both assure Lightroom is the target) - Note: @2011-07-30, I haven't actually tested this particular function on Mac - but I've tested other similar functions on both platforms.
- Bad news: It doesn't always work on either platform, since keystrokes may be usurped by open dialog boxes and open text fields in Lightroom...
- Good news: failure is 100% detectable.
Bottom line:
If the kludgy nature of this solution would be more bad than good for you and/or your users, then this is not a viable solution.
If your users would prefer the caveats in order to be able to get the job, then this solution will work well enough for now.
PS - I'm presently using it in ChangeManager and its a godsend for me. Since I understand the limitations, my failure rate is appx. 0%.

How do I create photo album folders or files ? As it stands, ihave some 500 pics saved but only want to play some of them for a slideshow presentation?

How do I create file folders or photo albums to save photos in specific designated area for subsequent playback as a slideshow. As it stands, I have approx 500 photos in new I Pad 2, however need to only play about 30 in a slideshow. Thank you

For the Photos app you need to put the photos into different folders on your computer and then sync those folders to the iPad - you need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad in one go, as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad. There are third-party apps that you can copy photos to on the iPad which I think might allow you to do slideshows, but I havn't used any of them.
With iOS 5 in the Autumn you will (assuming that it makes it to the final release) be able to (from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#photos) :
Even organize your photos in albums — right on your device.

How does firefox create the default mimetypes.rdf file?

Hi, I am trying to update the default mimetypes.rdf file to add a list of new file types and the associated program to launch with but am struggling to find where/how the default mimetypes.rdf file is created.
The Omni.ja file within 'C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox' has a version of the file but it is blank, what populates this file?
I have tried replacing this file with the version we need to use, delete the Mozilla directory from my local profile and re-launch Firefox, but the newly generated mimetypes.rdf file is still the old version.
I am using Firefox version 10.0.6

Hi,
I am in the same situation than you but I forced firefox to take my own file if I remove it from my profile.
What i did:
1 Create my own custom mimetypes.rdf file. Firefox Interface - Options - Options - Applications...
2 Copy mimetypes.rdf in C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\browser\Defaults\profile
So, if I remove the mimetypes.rdf file from my profile it takes from default location fine. However deleting the profile, opening firefox again it doesn´t use my own mymtypes.rdf file in the new profile, insteant it creates the "default installation" one.
On the other hand, I tried to set pdfjs.disabled = true from about:config, however although it sets the default PDF app "Adobe Acrobat", it doesn´t work. It doesn´t open any pdf file.
I am thinking to create an advertised shortcut in order to replace the mimetype.rdf when the user starts firefox (I distribute the firefox settings in a MSI) depending of the date of the file but it will take a few seconds each time the user run firefox. I really don´t like it...
Sorry for don´t help too much...
If anyone could post how firefox create mimetypes.rdf in new profiles...

How can I create a array with all files from a directory

How can I create a array of files or varchar with all files from a directory?

I thought the example could be improved upon. I've posted a solution on my blog that doesn't require writing the directory list to a table. It simply returns it as a nested table of files as a SQL datatype. You can find it here:
