Is there a way to add a password to a certain folder on a mac?

Use the Disk Utility in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder to create an encrypted disk image without putting the password in the keychain.

Is there any way to add a password to the guest account?

We use a computer reservation system for public computers in my library. I would love to have the functionality of the guest account so the account is wiped after every log out.
The problem with our reservation system is, it requires an account with a password for the system to work properly. So for the past year, I have been running a standard user account with 3rd party software to lock out the ability to permently change anything on the system. The problem with this is, it retains any changes users make until the system is restarted, not logged out. So by the end of a 12 hour day the machine can be pretty screwed up if it hasn't been restarted at some point.
The Guest Account is exactly what I want, but if I can't find a way to add a password to it there is no way for my reservation system to use it.

You could write a shell script to do that and run it on logout via a logout hook:

https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/BPSyste mStartup/Chapters/CustomLogin.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/10000172i-SW10-BAJCGEGG
I can't be of much help writing such a script. Apple also cautions against such scripts since due to the fact that they run as root they're a security risk. Apple recommends using launchd, something which I have no experience with, but I found a presentation on the basics here that might help:

I don't know of any other way to remove user documents and settings automatically on logout.

Is there a way to strip all tags from a certain folder?

My sister sent me a bunch of vacation photos, but she color tagged them. And her colors mean different than mine (for example, I use green for "B role" not "good picture"). Is there a way I can automatically remove all tags from a single filder (and sub-folders) named "Fall Trip"

Is there a way to add a password to either a zipped file or a m4v file?

Either using the apps that are included or any FREE app thanks

Well, first, there are a couple caveats. If you want to compress your home folder into an encrypted .zip file, you wouldn't want to place that .zip file on the desktop. There could be problems with trying to put the .zip file inside the folder you are zipping! I would put it at the root level of the hard drive instead. Second, if this is something you want to do regularly, as a means for creating an encrypted backup of the home folder or something similar, this isn't a very efficient or easy method. Creating such a large .zip file will take a long time, and it will have to be re-created from scratch every time you want to update the backup. It would be better to use a specific tool for that task.
However, all that said, to create a zip archive named cool.zip at the root level of the hard drive, containing the entire home folder, you would execute the following command:
zip -e /cool.zip /Users/yourusername
You should also be able to substitute '~' for your home folder path:
zip -e /cool.zip ~
If you wanted to create an archive of your Documents folder and place it on the desktop, to give another example, here's the command you would use:
zip -e ~/Desktop/cool.zip ~/Documents
Hope all that helps!

Is there a way to add other transactions to Applications in BDT menu?

Hi Masters!
I'm trying to learn how BDT works. I'm trying to use it to make my own checks in some standard fields. So far I'm able to call my own function at 'View'->Further Checks. It's working fine.
But my problem is:
At the BDT menu (BUPT) there is only one Application (Maintain Business Partner - transaction BP). But I want to check the fields (Tax Numbers) in another transaction (BBPMAININT).
Does this mean that I can only use the BDT controls in this transaction? (It seems to be so; I couldnt get into my function with BBPMAININT)
Is there a way to add other transactions to the 'Application' folder, so I can manipulate the fields, views or screens? If there is please tell me how... I checked the documentation but couldnt figure out...
Do you have any other ideas of how to make my validations with the standard field (withou changing the standad code)? (NOTE: there is no BADI to do this).
Thanks in advance,
José Omar

Write a custom carousel. Usually carousel components are just ULs that use something like jQuery to rotate through the LIs. The foundation carousel component is really just designed for some specific use cases. Generally I would just recommend rolling your own.

I create a birthday calendar in iCal and then click on it in iphoto at the begining of the calendar project each year. Some how the birthday did not populate the photo calendar. Is there a way to add the birthday iCal calendar into the calendar project?

I created a birthday calendar to use in iphoto for calendar. When a new calendar project is started each year, I click on it in. Some how the birthday did not populate the photo calendar this year. The photo calendar is almost complete. Is there a way to add the birthday iCal calendar into the calendar project? I would prefer not to start over.

Hi,
If you first select the calendar on the left, so that its background is highlighted blue/grey, when you make a new events they should be added to that calendar.

Is there a way to add two windows in the same window?

is there a way to add two windows in the same window?

what do you mean by your first use of the word "window"? do you mean a visible frame? a section of the gui that the user doesnt see?
or perhaps you mean you want to add multiple tabs to a single window, so that switching between tabs shows different windows?

If Disk Warrior does not work you can try the following steps (but they may not work if the disk has a hardware error).
Get the disk (DVD or CD) that came with the system (since you have it listed as 10.6.8). If it is 10.7 or 10.8 use the Recovery partition to boot from or the USB installer if you have that option.
Insert the disk then power down
HOLDING the C key, power up to boot from the disc.
Get to Disk Utility
If Disk Utility will now show your hard drive, use DU to REPAIR the disk.
When it completes the Repair process successfully as indicated in DU, do a shut down. If Repair is not successful then an different course of action is indicated below.
Then HOLDING THE APPLE (or Command key depending on your keyboard) KEY AND THE OPTION KEY AND THE LETTER P AND R KEYS, continue hiolding them until you hear the chime tone for the THIRD time then release all four keys.
If REPAIR is not successful, use the Install disc as a boot and REINSTALL THE OS X OPERATING SYSTEM DO NOT ERASE THE DISK OR VOLUME FIRST. REPEAT DO NOT erase the disk or volume before trying to reinstall the OS X operating system. After re-installing the OS do a software update. Note that ERASING the disk is NOT required to do an OS re-install. This allows your existing data and application files to remain.
If that fails then you are down to the "bitter end" of erasing the volume and reinstalling the OS and then all the other software.
If erasing the Volume fails then your last hope is to completely erase the entire hard drive, repartion the disk and try a re-install.
If that fasils then you may have a defective hard disk.

No there's not. Otherwise that wouldn't be very secure, would it?

Is there a way to add to the existing values in a container when a LabVIEW prototype (cluster) changes?

Is there a way to add to the existing values in a container when a LabVIEW prototype (cluster) changes?
I have a cluster with 90 values.. ninety! yes that many.
Change one bloody value and the prototype changes in the TestStand step... Reload the prototype and guess what happens??!!??
All the bloody values get reset to defaults! AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!
If it was in one place, I could survive the ordeal. But I have to change bloody prototypes in many places!!!!
more AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't even copy the bloody values!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Are there any tricks that I am not aware of, or have forgotten over the years, or... ... something??!!??!???!!
If there are none, I will have to post an improvement to TestStand.. I should mention I am using an older version (4.1).

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm,
I am not not very famous with LV and its cluster types.
So no idea if this works (it works for DataTypes updates very well and a LV cluster is Data Type so.... maybe)
Make a copy of the step that has to be modified to an new sequencefile.
Make modifications the in the copy.
Now you should have the same DataType Name but other contents in the container. Save it.
Normally there should be a message box that tells you that version has been incremented. - Accept it.
Set in StationOptions-File "Allow Automatic ...." to Never.
Open original sequencefile. Now the there must be a type conflict. Accept/Apply to all "Use Current Loaded.."
You have updated the type.....
Hope this worked,

Is there some way to add multiple addresses to an email I am sending that doesn't close the contact list after I click on an address? This necessitates constantly going back to click the + sign to add each address separately.

Is there some way to add multiple addresses to an email I am sending that doesn't close the contact list after I click on an address? This necessitates constantly going back to click the + sign to add each address separately. Is there some way I can open the contact list, click on all of the individual addresses to which I want to send the email without the list closing between each address entry, and have all of my address entries be listed to the email at one time? Something like it works in Gmail. I do not want to use set lists, I want to enter different addresses each time I send an email. And I am a very slow typist, so I don't want to type the first few letters of each recipient's name. It is much faster for me to just click on the e-mail addresses in the list as a group. It doesn't make any sense to me to have to reopen the contact list for each address, when it should be so easy to click on all of the addresses I want at one time and then click once to add them all to the email as a group. If there is a solution to this, please tell me. Thanks.

Vatlily,
Try this:
1. Select Mail>File>New Message.
2. Select Mail>Window>Address Panel.
3. Use (command+click) on the desired addressees in the Address Panel to create the list.
4. Click "To:" on the top left of the Address Panel.
The group that you selected will be added to the "To" field in your New Message.

Is there a way to add/delete words from the predictive text ?

Is there a way to add/delete words from the predictive text options that my iPhone is giving me? I'm using an iPhone 6 Plus with iOS 8.
There are specific words that are popping up in the area right above the keyboard where it displays 3 word suggestions to choose from. This area seems to suggest words that I have typed before, I'd like to remove these words. Default seems to select the word in the center and when I'm typing fast on occasion it will recommend and select words that I don't need to use.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thank youI would suggest upgrading to a supported version of the database. 9i has been unsupported for many many years now.
And to answer your question... to the best of my knowledge, there is no workaround. It works as it works.

Is there a way to create a password for Firefox so Firefox is denied access to the internet without this password?

Is there a way to create a password for Firefox to deny Firefox access to the internet?

There is the Profile Password extension, but it is easily bypassed by using the Firefox SafeMode.
http://nic-nac-project.de/~kaosmos/profilepassword-en.html#PPFF
Another thing you can do is to set your Homepage to a website that you have a password logon saved for and use the Master Password feature. It won't completely stop someone else from using the internet but it will slow them down or make it appear they need a password for access.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
 Cheers, Tom
