How to secure firewire drive data for multi user mac ?

I have a couple of external firewire hard drives attached to my mac which contain all my work files.
My 6 yr son has started using my mac so I have set him up his own account and set up the parental controls etc.
BUT - is there any way I can set things up so the firewire drives dont appear to him or so he cant delete anything ?
It seems fairly straightforward to protect files files on the main hard drive but these firewire drives mount every time a user logs on and he seems to have full access to them.
Thanks in advance if you can help.

Log in under your account, and highlight the drive on the Desktop. Click cmd-i to Get Info. Make sure that, under Ownership and Permissions, you do not have "Ignore Ownership on this Drive" ticked. Now, again using Get Info, make sure that all top-level folders are owned by you, and that other users do not have access. (You might want to reduce the number of top-level folders to make this easier.)
Now log in as your son and make sure you don't have access to those folders.

  • How can i delete keychain data for all users on my Mac Server?

    We have 2 Mac servers on our windows network and user passwords change every 30 days to keep up with security. How can i stop keychain asking for the users old passwords or get it to update with the change of password?

    Hello,
    First you have to create a new folder or 2/3, om My Mac... Mail>Mailbox>New Mailbox...> Loacation>On My Mac.
    Highlight the eMails  & drag to the new box(es), if IMAP Mail will try downlodaing them again.
    If POP & Remove fron Server when downloaded it won't.
    Quit Mail after the move, log into gMail Webmail via a browser & delete what you wish.
    PS. Even though you delete everything in gMail, google keeps copies for themselves & the NSA, just you cannot see them.

  • How To Change Default Expiration Date for Portal User in Linux and Windows?

    Hello,
    I have a couple of environments I recently installed:
    1. Oracle Application Server 10 Release 2 (10.1.2) SEOne on Windows
    2. Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2) Enterprise Edition on Linux
    I heard the portal and orcladmin user passwords will expire in about 60 days. I want to prevent this from happening. How can I set the expiration date to never expire for both these users? Or at least give me some warning?
    I heard that you can do this through the Oracle Directory Manager. However, I am unsure as which server to enter on the field. I've used the following:
    <servername>.hostname.com/389
    <DBname>.hostname.com/389
    They say 389 is the default port. Since I did not really
    Does anyone have any ideas?

    You have the answer in yours hands:
    Search for "60 days" in the forum
    How can I enfore Password Expiry Without Lockout?
    for instance.
    For the servername, it's the name of your server and the port is depending of your platform (have a look to $ORACLE_HOME_INFRA/install/portlist.ini) and
    chech the value for: Oracle Internet Directory port

  • HT1222 How large is the up date for Mountain Lion?

    How large is the up date for mountain lion for my mac in mega bites?

    Here are the system requirements:
    http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
    You need 8 GB of available hard drive space (plus another 10 GB or so to have empty and available at any time for the OS to operate properly). The installer itself is just over 4 GB (all the numbers are in Gigabytes, not megabytes).
    And it is considered an upgrade (you need to pay for it) rather than an update (which would be free).

  • How to Restrict Single Delivery Date for PO with Multiple Line Items

    Dear Experts,
    How to Restrict Single Delivery Date for PO with Multiple Line Items.
    System needs to through Error Message if User Inputs Different Delivery Dates for PO with Multiple Line Items in ME21N Tcode.
    Can we achive this by Some Enhancement in SAP or Not ???
    If so how to do it.
    Any Inputs is highly appreciated.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Selvakumar. M

    Hi Selvakumar,
    we can resrict the PO to have a single delivery date in all the line items by means of giving a error message or overwiting the delivery date keyed/determined in the line item.
    You can use the BADI -> ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST. In which you need to implement the method PROCESS_SCHEDULE.
    (for technical aid - This method will be called for each and every PO line item, From the imporing parameter im_schedule we can get all the details of current PO line, even we can change the data in the current PO line. )
    Regards,
    Madhu.

    You don't have installer discs with that model. What do you need to do? USB and Thunderbolt external drives do not require any special software. If you need to partition and format them, then use Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.

  • How to create customer master data for walking customer in retail

    hi experts !!!!!!
    for retail industry e.g books trading industry
    how to create customer master data for walking customer in retail
    its dummy or one time customer
    if i create one time customer then same customer number can i use for every new order and every new customer how ?????
    thanks

    Dear Hanumant,
    As per my view,,
    You can use one time customer functionality to full fill your requirement.
    When you create sales order with one time customer system take you to the customer data maintanence screen through that you can maintain the one time customer data.
    Same one time customer number you can use for every new order through maintaining different data.
    I hope this will help you,

    Hi cclark,
    An Adobe PDF Pack subscription is tied to an Adobe ID, so it's a single-user subscription. There's nothing to install; you access the subscription by logging in via a web browser to https://cloud.acrobat.com using your Adobe ID and a password.
    I hope that answers your questions.

  • How do I get driver software for PCMCIA-GPIB card?

    I have purchased a used card that has Windows/DOS software. How do I get driver software for Windows ME or Windows 2000?

    That would depend on what you bought. Check with the manufacturer and see if they have the drivers you need.
    We have some PCMCIA GPIB cards here from a manufacturer that does not support that card anymore. The only GPIB commands that I could get to work in LabVIEW were the old direct GPIB commands and even then, we had to rebuild a laptop with windoze 95.

  • Can anyone recommend a brand of external firewire drive suitable for FCP?

    Can anyone recommend a brand of external firewire drive suitable for FCP?
    I have a mac book pro with the latest OS.
    I have been told by Ken Stone that LaCie is no good and western digital is also no good.
    I am in Australia and would like not to spend over $500 for a 1TB 7200 rpm drive.

    'No good' is a matter of opinion and your expectations. I know people who use WD drives, and I myself have used Lacie ones with no problems. That said there are a lot of people who wouldn't. If you want quality (speed and reliability) you have to pay for it. If you're willing to compromise then you pays your money and takes your chances.
    If you go for Lacie or WD then make sure you're getting 7200rpm drives that connect via FW or eSATA.
    If you want a recommended solution then most popular seem to be G-Tech, Caldigit or Wiebetech. I have no idea of their availability or pricing in your neck of the woods.

    also I want to change the Language and  date Format b/c it's displaying in German language..

    Hi,
    Assuming that User has already his/her user-id and password, and now he/ she wants to change it.
    select the client and provide Log-in credentials. Now, instead of 'ENTER' there is one Tab: 'New Password' (up, left hand). Click it.
    Now, system will ask for new password to change.
    If you are asking from Basis point of view, then T.code: SU01 - User Maintenance.
    Enter User's id and Click Change icon.
    It will lead to Page: Maintain User.
    Here, Select tab: Logon Data
    There is a Sub-Tab: Password.
    Here, key-in change password and SAVE.
    For Language and Date format, contact your Basis-Personnel.
    Best regards,
