Is the BlackBerry security features needed/effective?

I noticed there's the Wipe Handheld function is said to prevent any recovery of data from the BlackBerry at all, and Content Protection prevents data from being accessable from any other device. Can someone explain;
1)What happens in Wipe Handheld?
2)How would one even go about recovering data after a reset?
3)How does Content Protection work in the first place?
Thanks!

HT201365 I like the additional security features but don 't want to type in a password every time I use my phone. How can I turn off the requirement for a password but leave "Find my Phone" active?

Settings>General>Passcode Lock...enter your passcode, then: Turn Passcode Off.

Since i changed to Firefox 4, now I no longer can view the lower portion of my screen which reveals the LOCK security feature. Please advise how to fix this?

HT1430 Can apple implement the following Security feature.

Apple please make a change to the password secruity feature, that if the 'password feature is set on' has been selected, the IOS device can only be switched off once the correct password has been entered.
As the battery in all IOS devices cannot be removed easily, this feature will allow the owner to track the device until the battery life has ended.
My iPad Mini was stolen, 5 minutes after noticing that the device had been taken, your "findmyiphone app" was unable to track the device, as it had been switched off. All password features were set on and used to protect the device , but todate it has not shown up on the "findmyiphone app". The App tells me that the device is offline.
I have also instructed the app to notify me once it has connected to the internet and a full delete to be implemented.
Your response to this feature would greatly improve the security features that to so clearly advertise.
Regards

What Happened to the Blackberry FIREWALL feature?

I loved that feature -- I was able to protect my phone with the FIREWALL -- I was able to block who I choose.
That was a wonderful feature - please bring it back - I was very disappointed.

Hello,
I believe that technically, the Firewall for legacy BBOS was provided via integration with BIS. BB10 does not use BIS, and hence anything related to BIS no longer applies. Whether a replacement will or will not come to BB10 is something for speculation, but no authoritative information.
Good luck!

BlackBerry Remember feature needed

As a BlackBerry loyalist, I use the Remember app exclusively and no third party task/organization/reminder list.
My question is, how come you are not able to simple "move" any folders on to the "Tasks" side of Remember and everything inside the folder and vice versa, say, after completing tasks? There's a great grand Canyon between notes and tasks here inside the app. This staggers me. I'm beginning to think that even BlackBerry workers don't even use the app exclusively as this is a given to have this feature. Moreover, in previous builds, setting a due date without a reminder would still bring you a notification when that note or task was due, now, if you don't set a reminder, you'll get no notification. Lastly, you took some colors away from Remember that used to be available to color coordinate our folders. Why?

Hi,
I may have some explanation for you.
first, the historical point of view.
In BBOS, the tasks and the memos are in two seperate apps. For a device connected to a BES :
the Tasks entries are for instance synchronized with the Outlook tasks
the Memopad entries are for instance synchronized with the Outlook Memos
Now, in BB10, the Tasks and Notes have been bundled (artificially in my opinion) into a single app named "BlackBerry Remember". But at the OS level, those objects are of two sorts entirely. There are in fact 4 types today, that are described from a developer side here: http://developer.blackberry.com/native/reference/cascades/bb__pim__notebook__notebook.html#enum-type
so it is normal to not be able to convert a memo into a task for instance, just like in Outlook you cannot convert a note to a task.
Second
my personal opinion is that having an app made by BlackBerry, that is native, is mandatory when your phone is connected to a BES. Otherwise, I don't think that being a "BlackBerry loyalist" prevents you to install native third party apps.

Please fix the "Capture Recording" feature...

Ok..
Here's how "Capture Recording" (a.k.a. "Retrospective Record" in other audio applications)
is supposed to work:
The song either is or isn't playing.
You play your instrument.
You liked what you did, even though you weren't recording.
You press the "Capture Recording" button.
Your software captured what you played, even though the song wasn't playing.
And that's why Retrospective Record was asked for, and implemented in the DAW's of the world.
But in Logic, if the song is not playing, and you play something you liked,
Capture Recording just puts every note onto Bar1, Beat1 of a new track.
And there's what you wanted to "capture", every note you played, sitting at Bar1, beat1, All at the same time. lol.
Now, I know that in this particular user group, there are many who love
to jump onto a fast response in defense of this application.
And that's ok, because I love this app also.
but the Capture Recording feature needs to be fixed.
Capture Recording (or "Retrospective Record" as Cubase calls it (they were first to implement it in 1995 btw))
works as described above in bold, it DOES make a very VERY big difference, believe it or not.

I want My ES2 wrote:
Ah,, that must be because Logic stops sending Midi clock to ext. Instruments. I know Cubase continues to send MC when stopped, so its clock must continue while stopped and it bases(nu pun intended) your recording on this clock. But like i said, it must needs quite some editing afterwards since you didn't hear a click. The note must be all over the place, rhythm-wise. Cheers.
No, it has nothing to do with MIDI clock being enabled or not, it's the manner in which Logic's MIDI/Audio engine is implemented and can be traced way, way back. When Logic is not running, there is zero processing going on, this is part of Logic's intentional design and is one of the main reasons Logic is processor efficient, it also allows large instrument templates to be designed and loaded, if Logic's not running, no CPU is used. All other DAW's keep plugins partially active, you will always see CPU use. Early on when Mac's had limited graphics processing this was a big advantage, when Logic was stopped you had the full CPU to perform editing. This behavior was carried over as more powerful hardware was introduced.
The downside: Many of Logic's quirks can be traced to the fact that nothing is being processed when Logic is halted. The "System Overload" message, missed notes at the beginning of bar 1, not being able to play a song all the way through the first or second time it played. Say you have a region at bar 40 that uses a processor heavy instrument with a couple of Waves FX plugins... a second or two before bar 40 Logic starts to fill the FX and Instrument buffers with data as the plugins become active... "System Overload". I'm guessing Logic 10 will do what recent versions of Cubase has done, offer a preference that enables either type (active, inactive) processing.
If anyone wonders why some Cubase users get on Logic's case... it's pretty much payback as Logic users use to really slam Cubase as being unprofessional because it was pirated so much it had many, many users who were completely clueless musicians/producers.
The shoe is on the other foot now, a Mac is a dongle for Logic, while Apple would rather have your $199, they're not going to gripe at pirated versions as it will sell Mac hardware... and Apple makes their money with hardware, software is merely a support group for the hardware. As anyone on this forum can see, It's Logic collecting the clueless these days.
Users don't realize how much they owe Steinberg/Cubase...
Logic's Arrange Page
Virtual Instruments
Low Latency Audio Systems
Piano Roll style editing
And that's just a few, make no mistake, Steinberg has been the innovator on a lot of the breakthroughs.
I've used Logic since version 2.1 (MIDI Only) and Cubase since version 3.

Problem due to Ironport Data Security feature

We are using S160 (version 6.0.1-006) in forward mode and as soon as we enable Ironport Data Security feature the WSA stops responding after some time for few minutes and then starts processing http requests. This happens after every 5-10 mins. and ultimately we have to disable the Data security feature. Once the feature is disabled the WSA works smoothly. Please help......

Hi,
If you haven't already, I suggest opening a ticket with customer support.

WLC 5508, LAP1262, Security Features Design

Dears,
I am planning to get the following Hardware;
AIR-CT5508-50-K9
5508 Series Controller for up to 50 APs
AIR-LAP1262N-E-K9
802.11a/g/n Ctrlr-based AP; Ext Ant; E Reg Domain
During my design, i am considering to get the following security features.
NOTE: I don't have WCS and Mobility Services Engine (MSE).
Managing Access Points at remote/WAN office.
wIPS configuration (without WCS and MSE)
How Rouge APs will be detected and Prevented. Can Automated prevention be implemented.
Is wIPS (with WLC 5508) support to detect and prevent Rouge AP.
Is Proxy Redirection supported on WLC so that the traffic from Wireless clients will automatically be redirected to Proxy (without adding the proxy in explorers of Wireless Clients).
Unfortunatelly i dont have LAB to test these features, so please respond.......

Dear Scott,
Thanks for your detailed response. I still have confusion regarding the Point5. Find the following details;
Current Design:
All the Internet traffic (http, https) for Wired and Wireless users is forwarded to proxy server (microsoft ISA/10.1.100.1)) for internet access.
For this purpose, all users have to add proxy to their explorers.
New Design/Requirements for Wireless Guest Users:
For the Wireless Guests users to get internet, they will have to add the proxy in their Explorers.
I would like to provide them Internet Access without additing proxy in their Explorers (not to bother them with configuring their laptops).
Is it possible, if WLC can automatically redirect the Internet traffic from Guests users to proxy Server (10.1.100.1).

How to run the rmi security manager

how to run the rmi security manager

You need to make a special class, where you give all permissions or socket permissions, then in promt you just call this class with following:
java -Djava.security.all=all then package name, then Class name. All is the name og permission class.
Good luck!

I need to access the security features in adobe reader XI

I have done what it said to do in the help section but I cannot change the security features. I need to make a document unprintable.

You can't change security with Adobe Reader. The instructions you found are probably for Adobe Acrobat.

Does the Blackberry Curve have this security feature?????

I have had a number of cellphones in my day, all with modest security features. Then I came across a Samsung phone...This phone allowed me to lock down everything, to the point that if someone turned the phone off and turned it back on it was still locked, but I digress.
I know have purchased the BBerry 8330. I have tinkered around within the security setting and I am not that happy. I want to be able to restrict incoming and outgoing calls. At present, if the phone is "locked" a call will still show and it will still be able to be answered which in my estimation defeats the purpose of locking the phone. Can anyone help me?

hello,
when I turn my Curve off (red button) then turn it on, I can't use the phone unless I type the 4 digits code. Until I do so, there is no network coverage, meaning I can't answer a call because the call never reaches my device.
If you don't have that, please check the security options :
home screen >> options >> Advanced options >> SIM card
then open the menu and set the security.

I need Help with the dynamic link feature in CS3

Hi I was wondering if anyone could help me with an issue I am having? I have the adobe cs3 master collection. Having watched tutorials on the dynamic link feature my version seems not to have the same options as those I have viewed. I wish to send my premiere video creation to encore using dynamic link, however when I click "file" and then "adobe dynamic link" the only options available are about "adobe after effects". I can export to encore however I am only alloowed to export one premiere sequence to one new encore file, I cannot create an encore file and import several premiere sequence into the same encore project. That means currently I can only have an encore creation with one premiere sequence in it, and I have no adobe dynamic link. Any help anyone could offer would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks very much for that guys but my premiere media encoder only lets me export as: MPEG1, MPEG1-VCD, MPEG2, MPEG2 blu-ray, MPEG2-DVD, MPEG2-SVCD, H.264, H.264 blu-ray, Adobe Flash Video, Quicktime, Real Media, Windows Media. Are any of these formats DV AVI?
Am I to export my videos direct to encore or save them elsewhere (e.g desktop). It seems that I cannot export sequences from different premiere projects to the same encore project.
Sorry if any of these questions seem obvious, I am just new to premiere and keen to do things right from the off.
Many thanks again guys.

Harm is correct. For SD DVD, exporting as a DV AVI file from Pr will give you good results. Encore's Automatic Transcoding will give you maximum quality for the available disc space.
