How do I password protect a document in Pages Ver. 4.1

I need to change from MSWord to Pages in order to use the iCloud and can't seem to figure out how to password protect documents.  The previous, older discussion it a bit to combersome -- certainly this issue must have been addressed with the newer versions.  Any help will be greatly apprecitated.  Larry

This may not be a real solution but it works for what I am using it for, accessing a long list of things, that I dont plan on editing: This does not work if yo are opening the document on your iPhone and plan on editing it.
So
I have mountain lion and Pages 4.2.
If I go to my Pages app on my iPhone, the document is there.
If you have used a password already to open it on your iPhone, it wont ask again (the problem) so you may need to delete it from iCloud (make sure you have a downloaded copy first), and then re-upload it to iCloud.
Then when you go to open it, it gives me a window
Open Document
This document may look different on your iOS device than on your Mac. Use open copy to preserve the original.
tap on the option "Open Copy"
Doing that calls for a password
you can read the document
close it, delete it (done as though you were deleting an app, touch on it for a few seconds, it starts wiggling, then hit the trash button)
that lets you access a copy  the document, and keeps the original password protected.
really lame I know but works for what I am using it for.
kind of

  • Password protecting a document

    How can I password protect a document in Pages so that only I can access it when I provide my password? Thanks!

    p,
    In iWork 09, we can apply a password in the Document Inspector, Document Tab. In iWork 08, we use Disk Utility.app to create a secure folder to save our work in. So, the file itself isn't protected, but access to the folder it is stored in is very secure.
    To make a secure folder, start Disk Utility and click on New Image on the Tool Bar. Name the folder, select a Volume Size that's larger than you might ever need, leave the Volume Format on the default, set the Encryption to the lower number of bits (recommended), Single Partition, Image Format > Sparse Disk Image.
    Don't forget your password because the encryption is such that you'll never crack it and your work will be lost with the password. If you use a secure User Account password to access your account on the computer, you can have Keychain remember your disk image password for convenience. If you carry your work around on a flash drive, you won't have to worry about anyone reading it if you lose the drive.

  • How to password protect a document ?

    Hello i want to put all my bank details in a pages document,so i will need to password protect it and i do not know how to,any suggestions please?
    Thank you.

    Hi!
    Here is a link refering to the Help menu. _http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9679992_
    In the Help menu you can also download the Pages User Guide. At the bottom of page 35, English version, you can read about password-protecting your document.
    I find the Pages User Guide very helpful.

  • Hi there, i have Q i have excel file it need to be block with password. Could you please explain how i make password protect to Excel document

    Hi there,

    On the File menu, click Save As.
    On the Tools menu, click General Options.
    Do either or both of the following:
    If you want users to enter a password before they can view the workbook, type a password in the Password to open box, and then click OK.
    If you want users to enter a password before they can save changes to the workbook, type a password in the Password to modify box.
    NOTE   Unlike passwords you specify in the Password to open box, passwords you specify in the Password to modify box are not encrypted. These passwords are only meant to give specific users permission to modify workbook data. For optimal password security, it's best to assign both passwords. An encrypted password to access the workbook, and one to provide specific users with permission to modify its content. IMPORTANT   Use strong passwords that combine uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Weak passwords don't mix these elements. Strong password: Y6dh!et5. Weak password: House27. Use a strong password that you can remember so that you don't have to write it down.
    If you want to use a different encryption type, click Advanced, click the type you want in the Choose an encryption type list, and then click OK.
    If needed, specify the number of characters you want in the Choose a key length box.
    NOTE   Document property encryption is enabled by default for most encryption types and providers. It prevents unauthorized users from viewing summary and custom file properties (such as the author or any custom file information) in theProperties dialog box. When users right-click the password-protected file, and then click Properties, information won't be available on the Summary tab and Customtab. Authorized users, however, can open the file and view all file properties (Filemenu, Properties command). To disable document property encryption, clear theEncrypt document properties check box.
    Click OK.
    When prompted, retype your passwords to confirm them.
    Click Save.
    If prompted, click Yes to replace the existing workbook.
    NOTE   You can also secure a workbook with a password on the Security tab of the Options dialog box (Tools menu, Options command).

  • How do you password protect web gallery

    Iphoto is easy to protect. How do you password protect your movies in webgallery? The help menu is not very clear

    The best I can figure out is that if you post your movie to the Gallery, but do not select the option to "Show project on Web Gallery home page," the video will not show on your home page for random visitors. When the movie is done posting, you can send the direct link of your video to whomever you want by copying it from the confirmation page after the video uploads. Not perfect, but the only option I see right now.

    Hey guys, how can i password protect my files in external hard drive? I want to access those files both from mac and windows PC!

    If you want a cross-platform solution that doesn't require the use of third-party software, use an external drive with hardware encryption. The device will have either a physical key or a numeric keypad. I don't have a specific recommendation.

    Is there a way to password protect a document in the app Pages?

  • Is there a way to password protect iCloud documents?

    Is There a way to password protect iCloud documents on my Mac and on iPad?

    Roger not so fast. Check this out: I own a studio with about 8 staff ranging from accounts, editors, creative directors and client services. Sometimes, there's even an intern or an outside contractor present for a period of time. So far we use pages and numbers to handle all the scripts, schedules, shot lists, etc and I'd like to also store some of the admin contents (again, files generated in pages, begging for iCloud), proposals, budgets... They should at the very least, let you password protect a folder.
    It's so surprising that Apple doesn't simply extend their now FANTASTIC App/iCloud/Device integration ever so slightly in the direction of the SMALL PRODUCTION HOUSE. I have thouroughly investigated everything from Studiometry to Rule to Evernote. Bloat. Bloat. And more bloat!
    Apple while you're at it, offer domain name resolution so we can actually use the email service. Right now half my setup is tangled up with google apps and gmail. I shudder at the thought.
    Ps I'd have separate apple accounts for each employee but nothing beats the single integration of iCal and contacts etc.

  • Password protected PDF document not opened with E7...

    Dear all,
    Password protected PDF document not opened with nokia E7-00. Previously I used nokia N79, that time I was able to open Password protected PDF file such as bank email statement etc. Now I can't.
    It is quite disappointing with this phone !

    hi mateys,
    you may want to search under "PDF" in the Nokia Store, as some solutions such as Picsel Smart Office exist, where they do open password-protected PDF's.

  • Password protecting scanned documents

    I can password protect pdf files, but when I scan a document, it won't allow me to password protect it. When I do "Save as" it doesn't give me security options. When I "print as pdf" it will give me security options but once I put in the password and try to save it, it says it doesn't save in print mode. I think my scanner may be scanning into Adobe Reader? What do I need to do to password protect these documents?

    Not impossible at all because it already had the password!
    The point is that some apps can set a password. We can't look inside your computer and tell you what apps you have, and which ones you were using to make particular PDF files.
    There are two different ways to have a password on a PDF.
    1. At the time it is made. Some apps offer this choice. Adobe Reader does not make new PDF files, only reads ones you made before so this does not apply.
    2. Later. Adobe Reader can read the file BUT NOT SET A PASSWORD. The Adobe Mac app that does this is called "Adobe Acrobat Pro XI".
