Is there a way to just password protect a folder instead of Home?

Is there a way to just password protect a folder on your computer?

No.
You would need to create a password protected (encrypted) diskimage using Disk Utility. For details use the search page for other discussions.

Is there a way to setup password protection upon connecting phone to computer/itunes in the case of being stolen?

Was wondering if there is an application that would prompt you to enter your apple ID & password onced connected to a computer. My concern is that if my phone is lost or stolen, although my lock screen is on, a person may still be able to connect it to a computer and sync contacts, apps, music, email, etc... via iTunes.

No.
The Passcode Lock prevents the iPhone from being synced with iTunes on another computer, backing up the iPhone on another computer, importing anything from the iPhone, or accessing anything on the iPhone directly.
This doesn't prevent the iPhone from being restored with iTunes as a new iPhone via placing the iPhone into recovery mode, but access to anything on the iPhone before that time is prevented.

That is what Activation Lock of iOS 7 does
In addition, it renders the iPhone totally useless to anyone who doesn't know your Apple ID and password.

Is there a way to recover password?

Hi, thanks for the suggestion. I have tried as you suggested, and when opening the "purchased" apps some have the icloud logo next to them, but I only have "OPEN" against "Find My iPhone". When opening it up, it goes through the same routine; needs to be updated before proceeding, and wouldn't update because I don't have IOS8.
Anything else I could try, or am I doomed!
All of your help is much appreciated, thanks

Encrypted blank disk image, actually encrypted or just password protected ?

I created 200 GB blank disk image on external drive using disk utility with options 128 bit encrytion. I have thought that the data copied to the disk is just password protected not encrypted as such.
I came to conclusion as when you encrypt Mac internal HDD, you can see encryption/decryption progress in Time Machine(system preferences) where as I do not see any encryption/decryption progress for encrypted disk image while copying huge data.
Anyone knows about it ?

As of OS X 10.7.4, Disk Utility had a bug that prevented it from creating an encrypted disk image with a password of more than 10 characters. I haven't checked recently to see whether that bug has been fixed, but from your report it seems not to have been. There is a workaround, but it's complicated.

Is there a way of just changing the text to the main menu..but not the submenus?

Is there a way of just changing the text to the main
menu..but not the submenus?
Also i have looked at in the browser and when i glide over
the menu catergories or click on them they dont show the
submenu...what can i do to solve this?

Does the example described at
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/articles/menu_bar/index.html
work for you?
What are you doing that's different from the example?
When you say you just want to change the text of the main
menu without changing the submenus, do you mean you want to do so
dynamically, at some later stage after the page has loaded?
If so, you could try retrieving the main menu elements you
want to update from the DOM and updating them from your script's
event handler for whatever event it is that you want to update them
in response to. This presumes the widget will detect this and
update appropriately, which I can't say for sure since I haven't
actually tried it.
Hope that helps!

Is there a way to just use one apple id

I can't seem to use my old apple id for iCloud. And now when I try to create a new one all my name options seem to be taken. Is there a way to just get all of my iTunes, Mail, Notes, etc. all under one apple id?

Welcome to the Apple community.
Exactly what problems are you encountering trying to use your Apple ID for iCloud.

Is there a way to enable the "protect tones" box while working in Lab mode for dodging and burning?

Is there a way to enable the "protect tones" box while working in Lab Color mode for dodging and burning?

Don't think so. Those algorithms are built around the RGB color model as far as I know and there is no way to achieve the same result in other color modes. It may not be programmaticalyl and matehmatically impossible, but it's probably too complicated for a quick solution due to constant color space conversion math getting involved.

I can't get an answer to this. I have a 120 gb iPod. Way too much to put my music on my iPhone. Is there a way to just put some of my music on my iPhone?

Playlists on the iPhone are the same as on the iPod. Just connect the iPhone and go to the iPhone Music tab in iTunes. You can check the playlists you want on the iPhone.
One "trick" is to create a new playlist and just drag all of the music you want on the iPhone to this playlist, then sync only that playlist.
Another option is to use the "Convert higher bit rate songs to 128kbps AAC" on the iphone Summary page in iTunes. This will compress the music and you will lose some quality, but unless you are using $500 headphones you won't notice.

Is there any way to just read the excel worksheet name?

Hi
recently i just got this project need to read data from excel file, and after a few days of research i understand u can read and write to excel to worksheet that the name or postion is known.
but is there any way to just read the excel worksheet name? As there excel format is not fixed and i need to search and open only the sheets i need.
I try change it to string but dun seem to work.
not sure is this the right way... anyone?

There is nothing to coerce actually.
First, create a constant ref for the prop node on the left-most. Then, del its wire & move it to the Variant to Data function & connect to it. Now, rt-click on the ref constant & choose Select ActiveX Class > Browse.. option. Select the Type Library as Microsoft Excel 11.0... & the Object as _Workbook.
Thats it, it ll automatically fetch you the Excel_Worksheet reference as the data.

Is there a way to just reset/rebuild mail in Yosemite?

As previously posted - I made a change to my spam setting (move spam to spam folder) and since then my mail quits everytime I start it up. I'm even able to get to the preference for it but it just quits.
The resolutions offered here in communities are complicated.

Is there any way to just make my iMac go back to factory specs?

is there any way to just make my iMac go back to factory specs after erasing everything and trying to reinstall many times with no luck? not too sure what i did but installer "cant copy necesary files" dont know anything about computers.
<Re-Titled By Host>

You can also reset the OS without using the install disk.
I found a youtube tutorial that had a wonderful step by step process for resetting to factory specs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0RQT9UiwkQ
I did a clean install - I did not have any paperwork or info for the computer because it was given to me after my FIL died. I used my own apple ID not my FIL's.
There was no difficulty at any point.
I set up my Mac next to my PC and ran the tutorial on the PC while I worked on the reset. Make sure you have all day because it's very time consuming.
I am a slightly technical person, but no computer whiz - so don't be afraid to tackle this on your own.
After I reset to factory default, I upgraded to Mountain Lion for $20. That was also simple to do.
I did not back up any files since there wasn't anything on the computer I wanted to keep. You will have to back up any files you wish to keep because this clean install will be just that - very clean - nothing was left except the OS.

Syncing shouldn't trouch you photos unless you have photos in a Photo Library album. These would be photos that were synced to your phone from your computer. If you do have any, you'll need to use an app like PhotoSync to transfer them to your computer prior to syncing.
If you prefer to backup your camera roll photos prior to syncing, open iTunes and go to Preferences>Devices and check "Prevent...from syncing automatically". Then connect your phone to your computer and import them as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
Then, to minimize data loss, follow the steps in this user tip: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141. To follow the steps, first open iTunes and go to View>Show Sidebar. Also, Transfer Purchases is now located in File>Devices.
