Individually Password protected files from OSX 2.8 not opening in OSX 4.6

I have a few files that I password protected in OSX2.8 that will not open now in OSX 4.6. The are not part of the vault type protection. It seems that the feature of individually password protecting files in the earlier OSX system do not open, nor give the option to even give the password. In the get info window there is no option to change or type in the password. The password is not related to the administrator password and it seems that it was a feature that did not follow through to the later OSX version. The only alternative I can think of is to install OSX 2 on an external and hope it gives me the option.
Does anyone know how to deal with this type of individually protected file in OSX 4.6? I have tried the vault, and the get info, but nothing seems to work to even give me the option to enter a password for an individual file. They are jpeg, and QuickTime, and Photoshop .psd files.
Any ideas?
Thanks

t2go,
Below is the list of steps from the Adobe KB article for installing the Adobe Camera Raw plug-in 6.2 on PSE 8:
Link to the KB article: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/863/cpsid_86312.html#main_Install Camera Raw 6.1 for Photoshop Elements 8 on Mac OS
#Install Camera Raw 6.2 plug-in for Photoshop Elements 8 on Mac OS
Close Photoshop Elements 8 and Bridge CS5.
Download Camera Raw_6_2.dmg from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4809. Opening the downloaded file mounts the disc image containing the following two files: Camera Raw.plug-in and cameraprofiles.mpkg.
Put the new version of the Camera Raw.8bi file that was downloaded into the same location as the original version.
Navigate to the root of the local disk (not your home folder).
Navigate to the following location: Applications/PSE8/Plug-Ins/File Formats.
Move the original plug-in from the location listed in step 5 to a backup location (for example, a new folder on your desktop). Ensure that you keep this version in case you want to revert.
Copy the downloaded copy of the Camera Raw plug-in into the installation location listed under step 6.
Launch Photoshop Elements 8 or Adobe Bridge CS5.
To install Camera Profiles, double-click CameraProfiles.mpkg and then follow the on-screen instructions
Are you following the steps as mentioned above?

Can not open a password protected file from OSX2.8 in OSX4.x

Then it's probably not 100%-compatible with the PDF security standard. You
should post this question on an iText forum.

? Some pdf files from the web will not open, some will.

Some pdf files from the web will not open, some will. I am using Adobe Reader 10.0.1 on an 8-year old puter I have just upgraded to 2G of RAM. It worked fine before with 256K. When a file won't open I get error message "There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. If it is running, please exit and try again (103:103). Have uninstalled and reinstalled all Adobe products several times. Ideas?

Good luck with that. Adobe10.0.1 is a bug infested BAD program. Look at the posts relating to this issue for the last 3 days. Many, many problems. Support is no help.

Opening a hyperlinked password protected file from another Adobe File

I have a user that has a table of contents pdf file. This file links to other files in the same directory. Originally in XP she would click on the link and a password box would open. She would type in the password and was able to read the file. She has now been replaced with a Windows 7 machine and this is not the case. She is able to open the individual files (without actually knowing the contents) in the directory. The password box will pop up when this occurs. When she tries to access the PDF file from the toc.pdf file she cannot.
Is there some sort of security permission that is not allowing a pdf file to open a hyperlinked password protected PDF file in Windows 7.
She is and has been using Adobe Reader X on both machines.
Thank you.

I think this may have something to do with your dns settings. From a shell type ipconfig /flushdns and try again.

PDF files from Reader-X do not open in Photoshop

Now that I updated my Adober reader -x I can not open the PDF files I save in my Photoshop-2 program. Any thoughts. . . . other than upgrading Photoshop? Is it possible to reload the former version of Adobe reader in lieu of the reader-X?

You can still download Reader 9.5 from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
The 9.5.1 update is available from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5353
Note that you must uninstall Reader X before you can install an older version.

Files from Windows Vista do not open in Bridge CS5

I am having trouble opening my images from Window Explorer level with Bridge.
I tried to open my jpgs with "open with" option and my PC does nothing. Same happens when I double click the raw images.
I have my jpgs assigned to open in windows but I assigned my raw files to open in Bridge CS5 unfortunately raws will not open after double click.
Can someone help?
Thanks

Perhaps it is just semantics, but you want the double click to open in Photoshop CS5 and not Bridge. Same thing with the raw it should open in ACR and not Bridge, as Bridge is just a browser.
With your raw problem. If you open photoshop and click help/about plug-in/camera raw you should get one version listed. Most camera raw problems result from ACR in wrong folder, or more than one version in the folder.

Protecting files from being dowloaded but not from being listened.

I was wondering if there were any way of protecting audio files on iweb from being downloaded. The only way i found was to auto play file and remove transport bar, is there any other way?
Thank you.
David

Roddy,
I'll delete your file soon after this message is posted. I only did it to prove my point.
If the file is served via http and a browser is used to view/listen to it, people can borrow it.
Your Flash Player format does make the file more difficult to borrow than the QuickTime format found in iWeb. The page design and the Flash Player integration takes only a "few more steps" in the design process.
Since iWeb uses QuickTime formats it's a bit of a reach to include Flash formats for the average user.
It may be better for the original poster to protect their page with a password (known visitors), use copyright protection or to add "watermarks" or "DRM" on their files to discourage downloading.
There's really no method to "protect" anything posted on the Web. If they want it (without paying for it) then posting full quality audio files or videos without watermarks is the best method of discouraging file downloads.

Password protected PDFs from Acrobat XI cannot be opened in DC when the password contains a hyphen

I have documents created in Acrobat XI that are protected with an Open Password.
The password contains a hyphen "-".
They open fine in Acrobat XI, but Acrobat DC refuses to open them: "The password is incorrect. Please make sure etc..."
Documents created in Acrobat DC that are protected with passwords that contain a hyphen do not have this problem.
I am working with the latest Mac OSX 10.10.3
Luckily I still have Acrobat XI installed, but it is a problem for those with the new Acrobat DC and the new Reader.
Ton

AFAIK there were no code changes in this area between XI and DC, Are you doing all your processing on the same platform (Mac) or does the problem manifest when you move encrypted PDF between Mac and Windows. As I recall the problem that I was talking about manifest when encrypted PDFs were moved between platforms. If you do move your PDFs between platforms, then which Acrobat version do you use on which platform? Is it Acrobat DC on both Mac and Windows? On which platform/Acrobat version do you encrypt and on which platform/Acrobat version you try to open?

Files from iWeb '08 will not open in 'Web '11

I have several sites that are generated in iWeb. At work I use a Quad G5 running 10.4.11 and IWeb 2.0.4. At home I'm using a 24" iMac running 10.5 and iWeb 3.0.2. I write and update my sites seamlessly from either computer.
Over the weekend I upgraded my home iMac to iLife '11 and Snow Leopard. I wanted the enhancements of iPhoto and so I reluctantly upgraded to the required 10.6. I now find that iWeb documents that are now created in iWeb 3.0.2 using Snow Leopard will no longer open in iWeb 2.0.4. This is quite a catch 22 for me.
I cannot upgrade my Quad G5 from 10.4 due to my requirement for some legacy software. I cannot install another drive on my Quad G5 with Snow Leopard as it needs an intel processor to run. Any suggestions out there besides the obvious one of going back to Leopard on my home iMac?

Unfortunately our company must continue to use powerPC's on 10.4.11 to run Macromedia Freehand MXa natively. Thus our reliance on Quad G5's. We feel like a cab driver in Havana driving a '53 Buick. We have to keep them running to do our graphics work. We have several machines running Freehand. Most on 10.4.11, but two of them run 10.5. Freehand runs painfully slow on Rosetta.
This afternoon we have moved all of our iWeb files to a Mini running Snow Leopard and iWeb 3.0.2. That will fix our iWeb problems and enable us to stay current as long as Apple still supports iWeb. I would be remiss not to caution anyone reading this post that iWeb domain files upgraded to 3.0.2 cannot be opened in 2.0.3 without the intervention method previously posted.
Thanks Again

How do I keep a Pages 09 password protected file in iCloud?

After uploading a Pages 09 password protected file from my laptop it shows as a page with the Pages 09 icon in the center (no visible text) in iCloud. So far so good. But once I open that doc using my iPhone, a task that as expected requieres entering the password, the protection seems to disapear and the file gets saved without the protection right in iCloud. The icon for the document changes from the Pages icon I described above to the text of the first page, just as a regular file, and if I try to open it back again entering the password is not requiered!
How do I keep the file password protected?
Thanks. Ale

Files stored in iCloud are stored locally as well as on some remote Apple server - just not on the desktop. You cannot keep the file on the desktop but you should be able to locate it in your Mobile Documents folder, make an alias, and put the alias on your desktop.
The Mobile Documents folder is in your Library folder (hold option while selecting the Go menu in the Finder) and your Numbers documents are located in com~apple~Numbers

Is it possible to set an opening date for a password protected file

Is it possible to set an opening date for a password protected file!
I want to lock a folder and then have it open on a perticular date not just open with a password so that i am not tempted to open it. Is it possible?

Yes. Go to the Settings app, and select safari. There will be a section called "Autofill", and you can enable it to save your passwords and auto-fill your personal information taken from the address book. Also, iOS automatically saves all Wi-Fi passwords, so there is no need to save it manually yourself.

AirPrint and pdf password protected file issue

Hello
I'm facing issue while printing pdf password protected file via Airprint.
From my iPhone /iPad I can print without any issue to my HP dj 2540 almost everything except pdf password protected file.
The same pdf file (protected with password) can be printed without any issue form any PC/laptop.
Do anyone have any idea on how to solve this issue, please?
Thanks
regards
Michele

It seems that everyone asking this question have links from Grand Canyon University which will soon have over a 100,000 online students that all use ebooks that open just fine in Adobe Acrobat on their PCs BUT NOT on the mobile versions of Adobe Acrobat. Whatever allows this on PCs needs to be added to the mobile version soon. We rely on our etextbooks that can ONLY be opened on the PC version of Acrobat. That is ridiculous. I can't believe with all the posts regarding password protected ebooks on this forum....that it hasn't been resolved. No one can give you a link because the ebooks are on a website that needs a password. We can save the books to our harddrives/dropbox... I could send you a copy, but thats it. Surely someone at Adobe knows what the hell is going on and can test the problem out themselves?

Password protected file issue

I downloaded a password protected file that requires Acrobat reader 10. iOS version cannot seem to open. Any suggestions? I'd like to be able to use the text highlight and note features in the iOS version.

How to I unlock a password-protected file?

How do I unlock a file that I have saved without knowing the password?

Hi eks,
The only way to open (or edit) a password-protected file is by using the password. Did you save the file from a website or email? If so, you may be able to get the password from the person who created the file.
Best,
Sara
