Is there a way to block computer access with a password?

After years of owning my Imac, I find that I need to put some sort of security password on it to keep others from accessing it when I'm not around. I know there must be a very simple way to do this, but I can't figure it out.Please help!

If you are the only user of the machine and prefer to not shut it down frequently, perhaps setting a password requirement to come out of screensaver or sleep is the solution. As Howker suggests, this setting can be made in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General.
In conjunction with that, you can set a hot corner to quickly activate the screensaver whenever you choose, such as when you will be leaving your computer for a while. Those can be set in System Preferences > Desktop & Screensaver.

Is there any way to block accessing Exchange server

Hello,
We are using iPhone as a business phone to
access Exchange server using ActiveSync.
Is there any way to block non-company, in
other words private iPhone, iPhone to access
Exchange Server?
Some users have 2 iPhones (1 provided by our
company, 1 purchased by himself/herself as
a his/her private phone).
We would like to block those non-company iPhone.
If there is a way(s), please let me know!!
Thank you very much in advance.
Regards,
Tak

Block/Delete will appear if "Enforce Password on Device" is NOT ticked in ESM at the time when that particular iPhone (or other smartphone) was first joined to EAS.
Wipe/Delete will appear if "Enforce Password on Device" IS TICKED in ESM at the time when that particular iPhone (or other smartphone) was first joined to EAS.
The only difference is, if you first have "Enforce..." ticked and you join phones A,B,C, - they will always have WIPE next to that phone even if X months down the line, you untick "Enfore...".
If at that point (after unticking "Enforce..") you join phones D,E,F, they will have BLOCK next to their phone and always will have until you tick the "Enforce..." again and the user will be prompted to input a code when they next sync.
Again I repeat, the 'Lock code' when inputted into the phone acts as an agreement between the user & exchange that exchange has permission to wipe the phone remotely. Without that agreement ("Enforce..."), you should not have the WIPE function on those particular phones.
Hope that makes sense.

Is there a way to block invitation notifications?

My company uses Google calendar. I have a personal calendar, and then everyone has access to the companywide calendar as well. This allows us to see every meeting happening in the company. When we create new events, we create them in the companywide calendar and invite ourselves as a participant.
The issue is that when I add my account to Calendar in Yosemite, both of my accounts show up. I also receive an invitation and notification every time someone adds an event to the companywide calendar, rather than just my personal calendar. I have "ignore alerts" set up for the companywide calendar, but that doesn't seem to make a difference. Is there a way to block notifications from just the companywide calendar?

Mmm i THINK that ignore only applies to behaviour within ical so you don't get a '5 mins' alert for example that has been set on the item by the person adding it. . -is the invitation notification showing from your email(where you get the window come up in the top right of your screen) -you can control who you get mail notifications from in your email. i have mine just set to VIPS and VIP anyone i need to see notifications from(you don't want the ones from yourself i guess)-you can turn off those completely in the notification centre for email. Not sure if that is exactly what your issue is.

Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your iPod. Only if you back up your iPod manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Do this:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPod to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your ipod without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your device for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPod for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

there are parental control apps you can look into. Such as McGruff. You block safari in restrictions then use the mcgruff app. Or you can look into your router and see what settings you can change there.
Also, depending on your service provider, some give you free access to content control.

is there a way to block pages on safari if know PLEASE TELL ME NOW!!!!!

Ok, just stop and think about the question for a minute.
The iPod is powered OFF and he wants to know if there is a way to turn the iPod ON "remotely" which implies he cannot physically push the On/Off switch to the ON position.
Because the iPod must be powered ON for it to be connected to a wireless network, your answer makes no sense at all.
Therefore the answer to the question is NO.

Photoshop only has one Color Palette. If you could script something like a Color Palette with two sets of active sliders the script would be in control till you dismissed its sliders dialog. You would not be able to do anything but adjust the script's sliders in Photoshop while the script dialog window is being displayed. Photoshop Scripting does not have real palette dialog type support.
I do not know what is possible with Photoshop extensions using HTML 5 Panels.....

Apple's changes in iOS 7 are smarter.
"Losing your iOS device feels lousy. Thankfully, Find My iPhone can help you get it back. But if it looks like that’s not going to happen, new security features in iOS 7 make it harder for anyone who’s not you to use or sell your device. Now turning off Find My iPhone or erasing your device requires your Apple ID and password. Find My iPhone can also continue to display a custom message, even after your device is erased. And your Apple ID and password are required before anyone can reactivate it. Which means your device is still your device. No matter where it is."

Is there a way to block unwanted e-mails and spam on your mobile devices?

This is generally handled by your e-mail provider, not your e-mail reader.
For example, I use Gmail and it filters spam before it ever gets to my inbox. If something does get through, I can move it to the spam folder on my iPhone to report it as spam.
