How to lock a folder with password ?

Please tell me how to lock a folder with password (to keep personal files)

Keep looking it can be done. I have a folder on my hard drive that requires a password everytime I try to open it. I found how to do this in an old "Mac OS - The missing manual" but don't remember off the top of my head how I did it. I remember you have to partition a portion of the hard drive, I think I did like 10 Gig of my 1 Teribite external drive and then you give it a name and make up a password. The password is NOT changeable and if you lose it you can't get back in that folder. It appears as a standard folder but needs a password to open it.
Email me direct if you can't find any info and I will try to look it up - [email protected]

As an example 'lock' Safari via your method.
Now use Spotlight to search for Safari, tap it - is it 'locked'?
Now go to your email & find a link to click - Safari opens again.
Guided access is not a 'lock' in any sense of the word, it is a tool designed to stop things happening, but many apps have multiple ways to be found or launched you can't easily block them all.
Mallik_Hyderabad, iOS doesn't have this feature & Apple do not seem interested in adding it (7.5 years & it still isn't an option) - use a passcode with a lock screen timeout if you have any sensitive data on the device or get an Android device.

How to lock a folder using admin password??

Can we lock a folder without creating an image???
plz help!!!
i have mountain lion, 27inch imac!!

You can't. The OS doesn't support password protecting files and folders. The encrypted disk image route is superior to what you want to do. Why don't you?

HT1366 How to fix Flashing Folder with Question Mark on Mac

How to fix Flashing Folder with Question Mark on Mac

RichardEL is probably correct. I’ll go through your questions.
> there is no Mac OS partition, I assume it would be directly underneath the HD on the left?
I have not seen this particular condition where the hardware disk icon appears but the system volume that is supposed to be below it does not. The System Disk partition would be below the HD icon indented to the right. It is usually called “Macintosh HD” unless you renamed it.
> when I go into disk utility my HD appears on the left, but I can repair or verify it
Odd. It appears but you cannot manipulate it with Disk Utility.
> The S.M.A.R.T status reads verified
If it did not say Verified then it would indicate a problem. Saying Verified does not rule out problems but I think it indicates it is still breathing.
> Is the HD deceased?
If you booted the Recovery Partition (Boot, Command-R), which it sounds like you did, then at least part of the disk is still breathing. If it took a long time to boot then that may have been a Network Recovery boot which would indicate the disk is very sick or dead.
> [If I] restore from time machine [will] everything will be back as it was before?
Yes. That is the beauty of Time Machine. All your data, applications, and system preferences will be as they were as of the last backup.
> I was thinking of erasing the HD, would this be of any help or do I just need a new one?
Given what you reported from the Disk Utility steps you took it is unclear to me if there will be a way to repair the current volume, if you can erase and install from scratch or if you need a new disk. Before proceeding it may be useful to have an expert at an Apple store look at it for you. They may be able to revive it without a clean install or new disk.
As was the case above, it could be a good disk with a bad cable in which case a new disk is not going to help. To test this you can purchase an inexpensive external enclosure, remove the internal disk, place it in the enclosure, plug it in and then use Boot-Option to attempt to boot from the now external disk. Here are links to the screwdrivers and enclosure you would need.
$5 Toolkit: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/TOOLKITMHD/
$22 USB 3.0 enclosure: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/ES2.5BU3W/
If you attempt a clean install, use the Partition tab to repartition the disk, selecting one partition and with “Options…” electing a GUID partition. Then use the Erase tab, select “Security Options…” and set it to write a single pass of zeros. This will write to every sector to map out bad blocks. (If you have an SSD do not write a pass of zeros.)
If you do need to replace it I recommend an new inexpensive (~$100) and super-fast hybrid SSHD drive that has an 8 GB SSD cache that makes the data fly. Google “Seagate 1 TB hybrid SSHD”.

How can I merge folder with the same name so that the content does not replace the other

How can I merge folder with the same name so that the content does not replace the other?

That's only a good idea if the semantics of sayHello
as defined in MyInterface suggest that a
RemoteException could occur. If not, then you're
designing the interface to suit the way the
implementing classes will be written, which smells.
:-)But in practice you can't make a call which can be handled either remotely or locally without, at some point, dealing with the RemoteException.
Therefore either RemoteException must be part of the interface or (an this is probably more satisfactory) you don't use the remote interface directly, but MyInterface is implemented by a wrapper class which deals with the exception.

How To: Lock a folder to prevent it being deleted but still access it?

How can I lock a folder to prevent it from being moved or trashed but still have access to move/add folders within that folder?
The scenario is that we have a daily jobs folder and a final jobs folder. The daily jobs folder was accidently moved into an active job folder. I want these folders locked down so this cannot happen but when I use the lock feature nothing can be moved in or out of that folder.
Under OS9 the locked box specifically said "cannot move, rename or delete this item" yet you could add or delete items to that folder all day long.
If I try this with OSX I need to authenticate each bloody time! I just want to lock a folder down and have it accessable by anyone, anywhere, anytime without the need to type a password 80 times a day. HELP ME PLEEZE
Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Read only access will prevent the addition or removal of items in the folder you set the permissions on; the folders below that one have different access settings, which can be less restrictive than those for the folder you set it on.
For example, if folder A contains B and C, and B allows Read & Write access but A allows Read Only access, items can be added and removed from B, but B itself cannot be moved out of A, and other items cannot be moved in to or out of A. If a folder your account has Read access to is inside a folder which your account doesn't, you can use the Finder's Go to Folder command in the Go menu to navigate to it if its path is known.

How to create a folder with date each day?

I've not used Automator, just once to "create" a workflow to create a new folder with a name; but what I want is this:
Each morning at 12:01 am, a new folder to be created with the correct date as the name of the folder.
So for tomorrow, Sunday 23 Nov 2008 at 12:01, I'd suddenly have a folder on my Hard Drive that would have the date like 23 Nov 2008 or 11/23/2008 or 23-11-2008 or similar.
Then at the end of a week I'd have 7 of these; - but I can manually trash them-- I want to create these on my HD since I backup via SuperDuper! each morning (automatically) at 3:35 am (incremental backup to an external La Cie HD) and I want to know if was done, so by having a folder with the date on it I can open the external HD and if I see that that folder with the recent date is there, then I'm confident the BackUp was run.
I have been able to create a workflow to create a folder in Automator, but not sure how to:
1. Have the folder created automatically each day at 12:01
2. How to have the folder label be the date
Thanks for any comments or certainly any other work-around or other way to do this or similar.
Regards, Steve

Open the AppleScript Editor. Copy the following into it:
set dt to date string of (current date)
set mth to word 2 of dt
set dy to word 3 of dt
set yr to word 4 of dt
set dtt to mth & " " & dy & " " & yr
tell application "Finder"
make new folder at alias "Macintosh HD:Users:username:Desktop:" with properties {name:dtt}
end tell
Amend the path with your Hard Disk name and username. Save as an application to anywhere suitable.
In iCal, set up an event with a daily repeat and an alarm at the time you want it: under 'Alarm' choose 'Open file': then in the next menu which will appear change from 'iCal' to 'Other' and navigate to your script. Enter the date and time.
Your folder will be created as required: iCal does not need to be running. This script gives the folder name as, for example, 'November 22 2008', but it's easy to amend the script if you want something a bit different - for example:
property zro : ""
set yr to year of (current date) as string
set dy to day of (current date)
set mt to month of (current date)
set dyy to dy as string
set nmm to the number of items in dyy
if nmm is 1 then
set zro to 0
end if
if mt is January then
set mth to "01"
else if mt is February then
set mth to "02"
else if mt is March then
set mth to "03"
else if mt is April then
set mth to "04"
else if mt is May then
set mth to "05"
else if mt is June then
set mth to "06"
else if mt is July then
set mth to "07"
else if mt is August then
set mth to "08"
else if mt is September then
set mth to "09"
else if mt is October then
set mth to "10"
else if mt is November then
set mth to "11"
else if mt is December then
set mth to "12"
end if
set dtt to mth & "-" & zro & dy & "-" & yr as string
tell application "Finder"
make new folder at alias "iBook HD:Users:roger:Desktop:" with properties {name:dtt}
end tell
This gives the folder name as, for example, 11-22-2008. (The days will have leading zeros, if you don't want these just remove the references to 'zro'.)

How to create a folder with spaces written in Java under Linux?

Hello,
I have a serious problem
I want to run a Linux command using a Java class with the runtime interface, there is a command to create a folder named eg "My Folder", with a space
For create the Unix command is easy to do either:
mkdir My\ Folder
or
mkdir "My Folder"
But how to translate this in Java, I tried with two commands :
Runtime.exec("mkdir My\\ Folder")
Runtime.exec("mkdir \"My Folder\"")
For example :
import java.io.IOException;
public class CreerDossier {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
Runtime runtime = Runtime.getRuntime();
runtime.exec("mkdir My\\ Folder");
runtime.exec("mkdir \"My Folder\"");
But it's still not working,
For runtime.exec("mkdir My\\ Folder") it creates two folders My\ and Folder
For runtime.exec("mkdir \"My Folder\"") it creates also two folders "My and Folder"
Are there solutions?
Thank you !

But my real problem is how to apply the chmod 777 on a folder containing spacesSo why not say so in the first place?
Runtime.exec ("chmod 777 My\\ Folder");Runtime.exec(new String[]{"chmod", "777", "My Folder"});
That is why I chose the example of mkdirYour reasoning on this point is incomprehensible. You wanted help with A so you asked about B. Just wasting time.

When saving files under options the file name is duplicated how to remove extra folder with the same name

Under Firefox Options I clicked Saving Files under Downloads but the file name appears twice and an extra folder with the same name is created within the folder i.e.:
G:\Akbar's Songs\HAMARA FORUMS DOWNLOADS\HAMARA FORUMS DOWNLOADS
As you can see the folder is repeated, how can I correct this?
Also the music files I download from a site downloads as WinRar file and I need to open it. Is there an option where the files open automatically in the folder I have selected?
Many thanks for your help.

The "beta" version is for testing and may be more prone to problems, so I suggest trying the regular version (9.20) even though it hasn't been updated since 2010.

How to link c-Folder with DMS?

Hello,
I'm a new in this tool and i would like to know somethings.
1) What the Object Type i use to link c-Folder with DMS?
2) Can I do this if I install C-Folder in a separate server other than SAP R/3?
Regards
Pedro Sasso

Hi,
DO you mean via the 'Object Linking' feature in DMS?
If yes, please ensure that the 'c-projects Elements' object has been selected for the particular document type in DC10.
Also, to view the attached DIR in c-projects, ensure that the RFC is established b/w c-projects and DMS.
Yes..you can,since c-Folders has functionality of maintaining public and private collaboration scenarios so c-Folders is being used to communicate between Suppliers and Vendors.
c-Folders is not like webDMS, it is a separate application for which the link can be created from portal itself.
In c-Folders user ID and password can be created which need not have any licenses.
Hope it helps you.
Thanks

How to launch a finder with password requested, not using sudo in terminal

Hi,
I would like to have a finder with password requested in Mac like we move the the driver in /System/Library/extensions folder to trash by command lines. Using "sudo delete" in terminal will have the DOS-style and not good-looking for users. That is, I would like to have the GUI with password by some commands(or scripts) before I removing the driver.
Thanks for your help.
Jason

You shouldn't be doing anything with system files. Those don't belong to you. If you need to install or update software in /Library, create an installer package. It will run as root, after prompting for administrator credentials.

Idisk public folder with password inaccessible via Safari

My idisk public folder is password protected.
No one (at least using a Mac) can access it using Safari.
They can, however, access it from a Mac using FireFox. (I haven't tried IE).
Is this a known bug. I recall it happening pre-Leopard, as well, so I don't think it's Leopard specific.

Have you checked and double-checked passwords (keychain) for this iDisk thing?
Sometimes KeyChain FirstAid helps. or Repair permissions(n DiskUtility).
Do you get error messages when you attempt a file transfer to iDisk?
What do you mean "wireless server and .mac settings are not compatible"?
Your statement that you no longer receive email on dot-mac?
It appears that your dot-mac account is getting mail, since you're able to forward it somewhere else.
Do you really mean that whatever mail program you use isn't able to login to the dot-mac mail account?
You're going to need to help us non-psychic folks with details like:
Who's your ISP?
Make/Model of modem?
Make/Model of device supplying wireless connection?
