How to creat a Password protected folder for pics, apps, contacts

I have kids who like to use my ipad and iPhone to play their games. But they can also sometimes accidentally click on apps of mine which they surely should not. Is there a way to put my apps which I would like to keep from them in a folder and then make it so that folder has to have a pass code to enter? I have not seen any thing like this and don't now why

There is nothing like that because Apple hasn't included the feature. Third party app developers don't have access to the iOS at that level. Submit your feedback directly to Apple using the appropriate link on the Feedback page:

How to creat a Password Protected Folder

Hi
I was wondering how do I create a single folder that contains all of my passwords (Banking ...etc) that only I have access to - I would like to password protect this foder and if possible have the information inside encripted.
I was looking into security vault - but I'm afraid it encripts all the folders on my Mac. I just want to create a single folder - everything else should be as it was.
Any help is greatly appreciated
Thanks

An easy way to password-protect certain folders
To password protect a specific folder in any version of OS X, if you're an administrator, simply change the permissions in the "Get Info" box so that the folder is owned by the system. You'll be prompted for a password. To access the folder again, just change the ownership back - and it will require a password to be made accessible.
Secret Folder lets you conceal a folder and its contents.

How To Encrypt A Folder With Password Protection In Mac

How to delete a password-protected folder?

If I use disk utility to create a password-protected folder (disk image) on my Mac, could someone else easily drag that folder to the trash and delete it?
Or do you need the password to delete a password-protected folder?

The password only keeps them from opening the folder without the password. If they have access to the account, then they have the same abilities as you to install or delete files or folders.
If you don't want someone messing with your data, then they should have their own account on the computer and log out of yours when your done. You can create an account each of the other family members, or create one account for the rest of the family to use and one for you. That way you can restrict what they can and can't do on the computer such as installing applications, etc.

PASSWORD PROTECTING A PAGE WITH A NICE BOX DESIGNED INTO YOUR PAGE
FINALLY, I'VE FOUND AN ANSWER TO PASSWORDING A PAGE OR SECTION WITH ADOBE MUSE WITH GREAT SIMPLICITY AND ALLOWING YOU TO 'DESIGN' THE PASSWORD BOX INTO YOUR PAGE!!!
Even better is that you don't HAVE to have username AND password (although you could if you wanted to), so just a simple PASSWORD box and enter button DESIGNED BY YOU WITHIN YOUR PAGE, rather than nasty popups etc. Importantly, the password itself is NOT within the source code of your page either!!
The solution is at Jotform.com. I believe you can do this with a FREE ACCOUNT, although it's SUCH a great service for Musers that I paid for a proper account.
Before you do this, create a page on your site saying "Wrong Password. Please go away" or something to that effect. You'll need it for when they enter the wrong password.
So, in Jotform, you just create a new form and:
1. Drag on a password box (it's in the power tools section)
2. Select it and go to Conditions
3. Go to Change Thank You URL after submission
4. Enter: If [name of your password box] field EQUALS TO [enter your password]
5. In the "Then redirect to" box, enter the URL of your protected page and click save
6. In the resulting box click "ADD A NEW CONDITION" and do the SAME as stets 3 to 5 but this time say NOT EQUALS TO" with your same password and in the "Then redirect to" box, enter the URL of your WRONG PASSWORD page and click save
7. Embed the button on your page and you're done!!!
If you want to mess about with the EXACT alignment of a right aligned button and text box, you can go to Preferences and in the box which allows you to add your own custom CSS, enter the following code and mess about with the values until it's perfect for you:
.form-buttons-wrapper { padding-top:3px !important; }#id_2 {margin-left: -50px !important;}
Here's an example, built in Muse: www.hileytv.com/about.html
I hope this helps my fellow Musers!

Creating a password protected folder

Hi everyone, I hope someone can help me with a little problem I can't seem to resolve, here goes................
I Have a Macbook for home use and a PC that I have to use at work. I have recently purchased a 128 MB keyfob USB drive for using to transfer files I make at home to my workplace PC. The device came with no driver CD as it stated on the box that it was plug&play for both PC & Mac. No security software was supplied with the device nor is there any security download available from the manufacturers website that is OS X compatible ( only XP compatible ).
Although I have XP running on my Mac via Bootcamp I haven't set it up to transfer files between the OS X & XP partitions.
Now I'm known for being a bit clumsy and have lost the odd set of keys or wallet in my time, so I'd like to make a secure password protected folder that I can copy onto the USB drive to dump files into so in the likely event of me losing the keyfob at least I'll know that sensitive files would have some level of protection.
I created a secure "locked" folder in my keychain protected home folder but when I dumped that folder onto the USB drive it appeared as unlocked and when I then subsequently connected the drive to my neighbours PC the folder in question was openly readable.
Does anyone out there in MacLand know of a fix-around for this little problem that doesn't involve to much £,$,yen,etc.....
Thanks for your time and hope you can help
Cheers

The difficulty here is that the folder has to cross Platforms. It can easily be secured on the Mac and I'm sure on XP. However both...
My best suggestion is to google something like 'lock folder cross platform' It throws up several suggestions.

How To Encrypt A Folder With Password Protection In Mac

Can you create a password protected folder in your bookmarks in safari

When I open my "Popular" bookmarks folder, can I create a folder within it that is password protected (in other words you have to enter a password to open that folder and see the bookmarks within)?

Hello:
I do not know of a way to protect a single file. However, you could consider encrypting your disk. In that way, one would need your password to read any data:

How to create a new FTP folder for a child theme for Word Press?

Hello, I am getting hung up on creating a new ftp folder in OS X 10.5.8 in order to set up a child theme. Once I am in the ftp file listing <Go - Connect to Server> I'm not sure how to create the folder after that. I've tried right clicking (external mouse). Newer Macs seem to have an Add Folder button at the top of the page. Does anyone know how to do this?

Hi laundry,
I tried that but it didn't work. I'm thinking I need to move in a different direction than the child theme option. Maybe I'll need to do this further down the road when my blog is more advanced. The Command +Shift+ N shortcut should work in other windows though right?

Can I create a password protected website for photos?

I'd like viewers to be able to purchase prints of website photos. Is this possible?
Thank you,
Kiran

You could certainly password protect your photos by putting your photo page in a separate site and password protecting it.
Here's how to make it appear to be part of the rest of the site:

But as far as purchasing the photos... well that isn't really possible in iWeb. You could add paypal buttons or something post-publishing. Or you could link to an outside site where people could purchase the photos...

Password Protect Folder with Pics in Photoshop CS4

I want to password protect a folder I have JPEGS in so any one else who may access my computer cannot get into that folder and view what is inside. How do I do it?

When I go to my file tab, brows in bridge, it says the Adobe Bridge service is no longer available.
And you cannot password protect individual files as states from the other answers below. it said you cant do it in Windows
Can I protect files or folders with a password?
No, you can't use a password to protect files and folders in Windows. However, some programs that run on Windows do allow you to protect individual files by using a password. For more information, check the Help for the program you are using.
There are other ways to protect your files and folders in Windows. You can encrypt your files, manually specify who can access the folders or files, or hide them. Choose your method based on how secure the folders or files need to be. Encrypting is the most secure, while hiding the folders is the least secure.
Note
The ability to encrypt files and folders is not available in Windows Vista Starter, Windows Vista Home Basic, and Windows Vista Home Premium.
