How to batch password protect files without having to click "Save" for each file

Hi!
I need help. I'm trying to batch password protect a few hundred PDF files. I've setup an action for this, however when I run the action, Acrobat asks me to save each file. Isn't this kind of defeating the purpose of batch processing?

Add a save step at the end.

Easiest way to update all apps on iPhone 5S without having to click update for each one under the apps tab in iTunes

After I've used the download all updates option under the updates tab in the iTunes library Apps view, when I plug in my device (iPad or iPhone) and go to the device apps view I now have a button to the right of each of those apps that says "update" instead of "remove" or "install".
The problem is that my app library is enormous and often there are 20+ apps that had updates at one time and it's a royal pain having to scroll through the entire list to find the ones that have the "update" button that needs to be clicked.
Unfortunately iTunes doesn't have a sorting option in the pulldown called "updated" to bring those to the top.
Is there any way to easily select all of those apps rather than having to manually scroll through my whole library hunting for them just to click the update button?

Hi Twilight_Face!
You can always try a backup and restore in an attempt to get rid of these apps that were interrupted during the download and are no longer available:

How to Download a batch of files without having to click on each file

I installed download helper and when i watch a video there are alot of files playing how do i download all of them without having to click on every file in the helper drop down box

anthony siciliano had this to say:
I use Smugmug for my photo website. To upload photos to that site, I must convert my PSD files to JPGs and limit the file size of each photo to 12 MB.
Almost all photo sites impose a size limit on each photo. Sometimes the
size amount varies. 12M is a lot ...
Since I am now shooting with a 21 megapixel camera, most of the photo files are over 12 MB when converted to JPGs (many are in the 20 MB range).
Usually, the size is dependent on the dimensions you choose, and the
resolution. If you limit your photos to approx 1024x768 with a
resolution of 72 dpi (which is pretty standard for screen-only
resolution), you'll find that your photo file sizes will be much
reduced. Are you sure you need the resolution or size that you are
using? If you're not selling prints (perhaps you are), then using a
smaller, screen resolution only version will help.
Is there a way to convert a batch of photos from PSD files to JPGs and limit the file size of each photo to 12 MB? Thanks!!

The LR2Mogrify plugin can do that, I believe.

ITunes 11.0.4. can't locate thousands of files (they are still on the harddisk though) - is there a way to simply relocate them (without having to do it for each individual song which would take forever)?

After updating to iTunes 11.0.4.,
iTunes 11.0.4. can't locate thousands of files (they are still on the harddisk though).
is there a way to simply relocate them (without having to do it manually for each individual song which would take forever)?

Are these "thousands of files" in an iTunes library that simply cannot be found?
If so, assuming you know exactly where they are, hold the "Option" key while opening iTunes from your dock. You will then be given a "Choose Library" option. Choose it and point to your library.

How can I select all stamps in a PDF file without having to click on each individual one?

I use the stamps and text box feature to mark up engineering drawings in abobe acrobat 10. Sometimes revisions come for already worked on drawings so I need to transfer my work over. Usually I just hold control and click each stamp and text box then hit CTRL+C to copy all of them. However, sometimes there are 200+ stamps on a single PDF and clicking each and every one without letting go of CTRL is a lot harder than it sounds.
Any ideas on how to do a "select all" function? (the actual select all doesn't work in this case, it looks for words.)
Thanks

Stamps are basically comments. As such, they appear in the Comments List,
where you can easily select them by clicking inside the list and then
pressing Ctrl+A.

How can I play multiple files without having to click "Menu," find the ...

...file, click "Play," etc.?
Anyone? I have ATV2 and really like it so far. Any way to queue files?

And... if you set up playlist in iTunes you can mix media as long as you use AirPlay.
I have a Smart Playlist (Movie Night) that starts with a movie trailer (podcast), next up is a short cartoon (TV show), and then a double feature of movies I haven't seen yet.
If I pick this play list from ATV2 then only the items from the primary menu item show up (i.e. Movies, TV, etc).
However, if I watch ATV2 via iTunes AirPlay then everything flows along just like in the olden days!
Too cool!

How do I browse my hotmail e-mail messages (while zoomed in) without having to scroll down for each new e-mail (after pressing up arrow for next message)?

In other words, I want to be able to change the default starting scroll position from 'top' to 'bottom' or customize this to 'somewhere in between' so that I don't have to scroll down before reading each new e-mail message.

Have you tried Firefox's zoom feature? Font size and zoom - increase the size of web pages
You can "zoom" all sites using this add-on: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2592/ NoSquint]. After setting your global zoom level, you can still fine-tune the zoom on individual sites.
After installing NoSquint, click the % on the Add-on Bar to call up site preferences, then click the Global Settings button, then the Zooming tab.
If you don't have the Add-on Bar displayed, you can right-click the new tab button ("+") or a blank area of the tab bar to the right of it and choose Add-on Bar from the shortcut menu.
You can experiment with sizes larger than 125%, but I wouldn't go much higher than 150% unless you have a large high-resolution monitor.
If there are particular sites that still present a problem, feel free to post their URLs.
You can find more information about the zoom features Firefox offers in these articles:
[[Text zoom]] - For zooming text only
[[Page zoom]] - For zooming the whole page (including images etc.)

How can we load apps without creating an Apple ID for each employee?

We have at least two apps that we'd like to distribute to our company iPads. We would like to hand the employee the iPad with everything loaded. We don't care if they create their own Apple ID and manage it after the fact but when the employee gets the iPad, it should have the apps they require.
How do we load these apps without creating an Apple ID for each employee? If we load the apps from App Store with our Apple ID, the app requires that username and password whenever there is an update. The employee can not update the app without our username and password or they have to delete and reinstall the app with their own credentials. Is there a way to load an app so that it doesn't require the credentials of the person that loaded it whenever there's an update?

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.

How to restore a control file without having its backup

Hi,
Can any one please suggest me how to restore a control file without having its backup.
Thanks

To add to what SB said, in years past the instructions for re-creating the control file manually were contained in the DBA Administration manual. It used to be and may still be common to be taking and saving a "backup control file to trace" for this purpose.
If you lost only the primary copy of the control file and it is an OS file then while the database is shutdown you can copy the secondary over the primary and then use if to start the database. If the control file is stored in ASM then there should be a way to perform the copy via ASM.
If you use rman for backups then a copy of the control file should be part of the backup process and you can retrieve it from the backup set then perform recovery using the backup control file though I do note the OP said something to the effect no backup exists. Still, I have knows of instances where the DBA did not realize that the backup set contained the control file and the spfile so I think this is worth mentioning just in case.

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

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).

If you bought them on your iPad then you will need to connect your iPad to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over to the Tones part of your computer's iTunes library and you can then sync them to your iPhone - ringtones are a one-time only download, so you won't be able to redownload them directly on your phone.
