How do you make a spreadsheet or cells secure and private?

In using numbers, I want to make a spreadsheet secure (limited access). How do you do this ..... Or how do you make the cells within it secure?

Password protect the file (although there's some doubt as to the strength of that protection).
save the file to an encrypted Disk Image. See Mac Help in the Finder's Help menu for details.
There's no way to fully protect the cells of an open document. Numbers provides for locking "objects," but cells themselves are not objects. Tables are, objects, so you can lock a complete table. That prevents changes to the table until it is unlocked, but does not prevent changes to other tables in the document, nor does it prevent any used from unlocking the table then editing it.
Jerry has offered a technique which may be used to guard against inadvertent changes to individual cells. You can read it in his responses in Hold Table Position in a Sheet.

How do you make it print first page first and not the last page first?

I have a HP Officejet Pro 8600. How do I make the first page print first and not the last page printing first?

Hi,
From the application used to print open the print dialog and click Oroperties or Preferences to access the Printing Preferences screen.
From the Layout tab set Page Order as Back to Front, then the first page will be printed first.

How do you make a motion tween, mask effect and shape tween, with a flash website?

More of less, I will have three seperate pages for the motion tween, mask effect and shape tween... would you make the seperately, in a different scene, as a symbol or on the same scene with the website.

It's not clear what you are after since you start talking about separate pages for the three things, and then ask about how best to put them together. If they are going to be separate they can't be together.
If your intention is to have these three things in one Flash file, ut as separate parts of it, then I would have each within a symbol and have each symbol within the same scene (I don't use multiple scenes).

Numbers 3.2 on Mavericks - How do you make the Stepper Function cells default to "0" instead of "1"?

In Numbers 3.2 using Mavericks 10.9.3
The Stepper funtion fills the cells with a "1", after I have set the Minimum value to "0".
How do I get the cells to be filled with "0" automatically?
Even a "Blank/Empty" cell would be fine (better) with me, but not a "1'.
I want to use the Stepper Function in a spread-sheet.
I have 270 cells I want to use it in.
Here are the options I've selected:
Select the Cells (270 of them),
Set Data Format Option to "Stepper"
Set Minimum to "0"
Set Maximum to "250"
Set Increment to "1"
Set Format to "Number"
Set Decimals to "0"
With the above options set, all 270 cells are automatically filled with a "1", not a "0"
like you might expect.
I tried selecting all 270 cells and hitting "0", nuthin.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Boomer II

HI Boomer,
You'll get more responses to this Numbers 3.2 question in the Numbers for Mac community than here in AppleWorks. I've requested the hosts transfer it there.
Have you tried:
Select one cell.
Format as described.
Set its value to zero.
Select the cell. Copy.
Add the other 269 cells to the selection. Paste.
Not tested, as I don't have N3.2 installed.

How do you make a CustomUserControl to a movable and resizable one.

I have made an application where i am thinking i can implement a re-sizable and movable Usercontrol(Image) i tried the following codes but the code has to be also in the main form which will make re-sizing in runtime confusing. I just want to implement the
codes inside the custom UserControl.
Thanks in advance!

Sorry, My previous question was pretty unclear. I have made my own Usercontrol in MS blend4 and i also added dependency property to it as follows
IMAGECTRL.VB
Public Property Propx As Integer
Get
Return GetValue(PropxProperty)
End Get
Set(ByVal value As Integer)
SetValue(PropxProperty, value)
End Set
End Property
Public Shared PropxProperty As DependencyProperty = _
DependencyProperty.Register("Propx", _
GetType(Integer), GetType(New_Window), _
New PropertyMetadata(Nothing))
Public Property Propy As Integer
Get
Return GetValue(PropyProperty)
End Get
Set(ByVal value As Integer)
SetValue(PropyProperty, value)
End Set
End Property
Public Shared PropyProperty As DependencyProperty = _
DependencyProperty.Register("Propy", _
GetType(Integer), GetType(New_Window), _
New PropertyMetadata(Nothing))
Public Property imgsrc As String
Get
Return GetValue(imgsrcProperty)
End Get
Set(ByVal value As String)
SetValue(imgsrcProperty, value)
End Set
End Property
Public Shared imgsrcProperty As DependencyProperty = _
DependencyProperty.Register("imgsrc", _
GetType(String), GetType(New_Window), _
New PropertyMetadata(Nothing))
I wanted to bind these dependency property to the elements of the "MainWindow.vb" but i have no clue how to. Since i am a beginner in the vb.net realm :)

How do you make connection password use single username and password in P/S

Hi
I have installed OBIEE as a standalone on a Windows 2003 server using OC4J and AUTHENTICATION_TYPE = BYPASS_NQS.
I have created a repository using an ODBC connection to a Netezza database. The implementation we have is that we use a single username and password (readonly) to the database.
I have created the physical, business and presentation layers and the repository is consistent and loadas up into the Presentation Server.
When I login into presentation server as say "Administrator", the PS passes the username/password of "Administrator" instead of the username and password setup in the connection pool.
The error is;
-------------------- Query Status: Query Failed: [nQSError: 16001] ODBC error state: HY000 code: 108 message: Password authentication failed for user 'ADMINISTRATOR'.
When I create a user with the same username and password as the one used in the connection pool, the requests work. Although thisd lets me work at the moment, it is not a viable solution going forward.
Please can you advise what I need to setup for this to work correctly for me ie., make PS substitute the correct username password when connecting to the ODBC defined in the connection pool?
Thanks in advance.
Danish.

Apologies if I've misunderstood, but are you trying to implement anything than standard practise, namely:
1) Using the OBIEE security model to authenticate and log in (i.e. when you log in to Answers you are entering a username as defined in the RPD)
2) Using a fixed username & password as defined on the database to authenticate & authorise when you read data for your reports?
If you use BYPASS_NQS then BI Server will take your login details when you login to Answers (Presentation Server) and pass them through to the database and see if they're valid. This is what's happening when you got the error that you initially posted. With setting at BYPASS_NQS try logging into Answers with the database username&password, I bet it will work.
If you use NQS (the default) then it checks the Answers login against users defined in the RPD, so the reason you couldn't login when you changed it to NQS is that the user/pw you logged in with didn't match what's defined in the RPD.
Try this:
1. Create a new user & pw in the RPD, for argument's sake call it TestRPDUser with the same pw
2. Set authentication to NQS and restart you BI Server
3. Log in to Answers as TestRPDUser - does it work?

How do you make the whites of the eyes and teeth brighter?

Would someone be able to offer advice on making the "whites" of the eyes and teeth brighter or whiter? Thanks!

There are a few videos done on this by the Kelby group. Basically, Create a levels adjustment layer, and move the right slider to the left, which would make more of the image go towards white.
Then create a mask for that adjustment layer. Use the selection tools to create a selection of the white areas of the eyes. When you are done, click on icon at the bottom of the layers panel that looks like a circle inside of a square. That will convert your selection into a mask. Make sure the adjustment level is selected before clicking the mask icon, as that tells the layers panel which layer to apply the mask to.
If for some reason the mask is backwards, the eyes are darker than the rest of the person. You can click on the mask thumbnail that was just created on the adjustment layer to make it active, then invert the mask. Invert can be found in the select menu .

How do you make all your icons on desktop and elsewhere show size etc?

Hi,
I can't remember how to show my disk size or how many items are in a folder. I have this feeling it's to do with Finder Preferences. You know how you have your hard drive listed and it will say 60GB in size or a folder in finder will say 14 items.

Thanks, that's the tip I was trying to remember.

How can you make one button preform different actions in Xcode?

How can you make one button "preform a click" and "orderfront"? Is that possible? Because what I am doing is making a welcome window to my application for Mac OS X 10.6, and I have two buttons in that window, one says "Connect" which connects a a WebView to a url and the other button opens up the main window. So how can I a make a button do multiple things at once??

Ah - If you are just using bindings between various objects from Interface Builder, you can reduce your application code a bit (sometimes quite a bit), but there is only so far you can go. Typically variables and routines are defined in your application that Interface Builder hooks into, so that your application code (usually Objective-C, but can be others) can use these variables and routines to determine what is happening in the user interface.
I'm not sure how up-to-date the project code is (or what programming code you are familiar with), but you can take a look at Apple's Cocoa Application Tutorial to see what is (usually) involved in creating an application.

How do you make Mozilla listen to users and stop FFFFirefox Auto Updating despite being set to NOT auto update?

I am spitting nails
After all the STUPID problems outlined here
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/999831?esab=a&s=&r=0&as=s
I set Firefox to stop auto updating,
Then the other day I installed a new user on my laptop, when they loaded Firefox it auto updated MY version of Firefox.
Has NOTHING been learnt?
STUPID STUPID STUPID STUPID STUPID
So I have 2 questions
How do you make Mozilla listen to users?
and how do prevent what happened to me happening again?

SuperSluether
Not a millionth, you have only provided 150 answers and I doubt they were all this issue.
If you don't like it, don't use it.
If a business took this attitude they would soon be out of business
Updates help KEEP YOU SAFE
Sometimes, but in my experience FFirefox updates can really screw up your system, lose you data, mess up your user interface. I have run IT for one of the biggest intranets on the planet and we never allowed even Mictosoft updates until we did User Acceptance Testing and understood the impact of the upgrade. I am a grown up not a child, I have system where I test updates for performance, security and impact, I WILL DECIDE when I want to install it. If Mozilla wants to provide real security updates I would take them but if you look at the link in my OP you will see it said an update was security and it completely messed up.
Updates add tons of great new features
Actually with FFirefox in my experience they take more away than they add, things I did not ask them to take, they do not look at my config and leave my settings as they were and then tell me about new options, no they completely screw my productivity as it takes days to figure out how to undo the kwap they have added. Copying the AWFUL Chrome interface is not an improvement, Google has one of the worst UI's on the planet accross all their products.
Firefox is designed to be customized PER USER, NOT CROSS-SYSTEM
There are some things that benefit from being per user and some that are per machine, windows has group policies per machine and per user. My OP is telling Mozilla that this is another area where they have "designed" badly, I tell them this so that they improve it and in the vain hope that there is some config setting that will stop this nonsense.
So SuperSluether you have not really helped, all you seem to say is FO if you do not like it. Good job you do not run a business. With that attitude probably best you do not contribute.

How do you make imessage work? The icon is there. You can type in the recipient but are not allowed to hit the send button

How do you make imessage work? We upgraded to verision5. The icon is there. You can type the message but the send button is not available.

There is some instability in iMessage. It is a versatile and confusing app even though there are so few options in its use.
I had issues trying to get iMessage work on both my iPads and my iPhone.
ON the iPhone, turning off WiFi service and then trying iMessage fixed the problem.
On the iPad 2, same thing. Turning off WiFi service fixed it.
On the iPad 1, I took a suggestion from zoomzoom and changed the WiFi network configuration on the iPad to use 8.8.8.8 as a DNS server and then use iMessage. That fixed it. Now I put the DNS back to default and it still works.
I suspect the iPod Touch will have the same fix as the iPad.
If you have a WiFi and 3G iPad or iPhone, try turing off WiFi and see if that fixes it.
Why? (beware, some of this is guesswork)
iMessage can talk SMS to cellphones and smartphones (that are using the cell-network). It can also talk Apple iMessage format to iPhones and iPads whether they are on cell-network or on WiFi. If you are talking to an SMS cellphone, iMessage figures that out and blindly sends your message. If you are talking to a iOS5 device, iMessage figures that out too, checks to see that they are on-line, and then does something different if they are or are not on-line. If you type in an email address, and not a phone number, I think iMessage attempts to see if the email address is registered with Apple (or iCloud or whatever) and if it is not, it does something to let you know, possibly by making the Send button not light up.
In order to register iMessage and an email, you have to let the iOS device see whatever service it is that iMessage uses. That is where the problem happenes. zoomzoom suggested manually setting the WiFi DNS to google's 8.8.8.8 IP address, then run IMessage, and that seemed to fix the problem. Setting the iOS device to use 3G-only (by turning off WiFi) also fixed the problem. I suspect going down to StarBucks or McDonalds and using their WiFi would also fix the problem. Once the problem is fixed, it doesn't seem to come back so I can't test these 'fixes'.
To change the DNS on your iPad find your WiFi networks configuration, click on the blue arrow, touch DNS, backspace over the number that is shown, type in 8.8.8.8 Then click on the WiFiNetworks button at the top of the screen. Now go run iMessage. After that, you can delete the DNS entry again and leave it blank. Your iPad will fill it in from the WiFi router when it needs it.

How do you make superscripts and mathematics in Preview's text annotation?

When adding text annotations that include scientific notations, how do you make superscripts, e.g. "3.2 × 10^{-23}"?
Searching Help for 'superscript' turns up nothing, suggesting the command does not exist, as it does under Baseline etc. in iWork. Please tell me this is not the case! If it is, has the situation been improved in the new operating system?
A related issue: I wish to include other mathematics -- is there a way to include mathematics similar to LaTeX? Might Preview incorporate using latex code in the future, so I can easily type "\exp{-\lambda t}" etc and have the math appear?
I'm adding text annotations to PDF lecture notes in Preview, basically filling in blanks the instructor has left so students will pay attention in class, and these annotations include superscripts; I wish to format properly.
Thank you!

Once you have the circle shape displayed, long press on the border of the circle. Once it is highlighted, drag horizontally or vertically. This should allow you to distort the circle into an ellipse (or the square into a rectangle).
Hope that helps,
