Is there a way to lock selected file directories with password?

I'd like to prevent third party access to selected directories in my computer. So, I'd like to be able to lock selected directories with a password, like we can do for word/XL files. I do not prefer to create a new user for my notebook as the people who will be using my notebook needs to use it while I am logged in.

OS X has no such feature. However, you can encrypt the folder using Disk Utility, or create an empty encrypted container of a selected size, which will open as a mounted folder/disk when you try to access it via a password.

There may be other solutions, but it would be a third party application.

Is there a way to lock music files from being accidentally deleted on ios 5.0?

With the new ios5 you can delete music files (albums, songs, artists) directly from the phone, is there a way to lock this to avoid accidental deleting?

This time I disagree, you can't re-download music recorded in iTunes from a CD unless you buy more capacity in the cloud. Besides you can't trust the iPhone to a little child because of the risk of having your favorite music deleted in an instant. A simple lock button would solve this big issue. How can I suggest Apple to implement it?

Is there any way to create a file compatible with Premiere Pro

Is there any way to create a file in Premiere elements that is compatible with Premiere Pro and that can be used in Premiere Pro

Consternation
The important information that I do not see mentioned nor offered by you.
1.What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system it is running? What version of Premiere Pro do you want to use?
The Premiere Pro Import Supported Formats seem to indicate that it will accept the Premiere Elements project.prel (project file) on Windows Only.
Adobe Premiere Pro Help | Supported file formats
This may or may not be possible depending on damaged projects or outdated elements.
2. If you want to export your Premiere Elements Timeline to a file saved to the computer hard drive and subsequently import that into your Premiere Pro version, that "should" work. You would go to the Premiere Elements Publish+Share/Computer/ and make a selection based on what the Premiere Pro Import Supported file formats are and what you need. I can help you with that. But, details first.
But, just a "beware"...when you get to Premiere Elements 11 or 12 (if that is the version involved) Publish+Share/Computer/ there are several categories, but all you see is Adobe Flash Video, MPEG, and AVCHD. The rest of the list that includes AVI and QuickTime which both need to be scrolled to all of the time to see them, not just sometimes, with the thin scroll bar to the right of the list of choices. You can export files
with AVI file extension, under Publish+Share/Computer/AVI
with MOV file extension, under Publish + Share/Computer/QuickTime
And, if you do not have QuickTime installed on your computer with Premiere Elements, you are not going to have presets for the QuickTime export.
Remember, there is more to an export than just its file extension. Know your other export properties as well.
In many cases, you can customize the export settings to suit your requirements.
Problems will exist if you are trying to go from Premiere Elements Windows to Premiere Pro Mac or vice versa.
I would be glad for the opportunity to help you with this issue, but details are needed.
Looking forward to your follow up.
Thanks.

Is there the way to use "Highlight File Format" with Acrobat Reader 9.0 or later?

hi
Do anyone know the way to use "Highlight File Format" with Acrobat Reader 9.0 later or substitutional way to highlight a PDF file as well as highlight file?
I want to highlight some words by indicating character's location(from n to m) using Acrobat Reader 6, 7, 8, and 9.
I use highlight xml file to highlight words in Acrobat 6, 7, and 8.
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/pdf/pdfs/HighlightFileFormat.pdf
According to this documents, "External Window Handler Plugin" is required to use highlight file.
But I cannot find this plugin in Acrobat Reader 9.
So Acrobat Reader doesn't recognize highlight file.
Well, I know that there is another way to highlight pdf file. It is called "PDF Open Parameters".
However this parameters cannot indicate location of characters but words which is to be searched.
This parameter does not work perfectly to substitute a highlight xml file.
To satisfy what i want to do, the best solution is that Acrobat Reader 9.0 recognizes highlight xml file.
But I think it is impossible because of lack of plugin.
Do anyone know the way to recognize a highlight xml file to 9.0 or another way to highlight some words?
thanks,
Asatamax

The feature is disabled by default in reader 9
(1) Open Adobe Reader
(2) Click Edit > Preferences > Search, and
(3) check the box labelled Enable search highlights from external highlight server.
(response found here: http://support.dtsearch.com/dts0117.htm)
I can't imagine why Adobe choose to disable it. It's a bad joke for us at UNESCO (http://unesdoc.unesco.org)

Look up the function to Get and Set File permissions. This will allow you to lock the file when you start and unlock it when your finished. =o)
Here's the sample from the help file:
The Set Permissions function includes a permissions input that allows you to control access to files and directories that you create. To define the permissions you want to set, you can wire the permissions output of the Get Permissions function to the permissions input of the Set Permissions function, or you can wire a constant or a control.
The 9 bits that the permissions parameter uses are divided into three sets: user, group, and others. Each set is divided into three permission categories: read, write, and execute. Read determines if members of a set can read a file or directory. Write determines if members of a set can write data to a file or directory. Execute determines if members of a set can execute the file. A 1 in the bit grants permission.
For example, the following illustration shows how to grant a user permission to read from, write to, and execute a file, and deny permission from the other two sets.
Octal format shortens each three-bit group within the parameter to a single octal value. (Windows) For example, to make a file read-only, enter the octal value 200, which corresponds to the binary representation 10000000. (Linux) To grant users read, write, and execute permissions, enter the octal value 700, which corresponds to the binary value 111000000.

Is there a way to lock a specific app with a passcode?

Sometimes, when i lend my iPhone away for a few hours, that person would have complete access to my messages, whatsapp and so on. Is there any way (or app) that can lock specific apps?

No you can not. But you can diable all the installed apps, and keep only the default available.
For this do as follow:
Go to setting
General
Restrictions
Apps
Click on Don't allow apps.
(applicable for 6.1.3)
It is strange that after spending for the best phone in the market, we are begging for locking software! Apple is sleeping!
If any one knows the better way then post it.

I have put all the education apps in one file on my iPad is there a way to lock that file when I open it so that my niece can not leave that file

I have put all the education apps in one file and would like to be able to lock it when it is opened to keep my niece from going other places, does anyone know if this can be done and if so how?

Maybe you can let her play on your computer where it may be easier to restrict what she can do, provided there's an OS X equivalent. Of course supervision is probably the safest solution until she is old enough to understand she shouldn't do anything that's not permitted. But then she'd probably be old enough not to need to learn her ABSs.

Is there a way to open/edit files made with Microsoft Publisher on my new Mac?

I recently upgraded to a Mac from a Dell and I have documents that I made with Microsoft Word and Publisher that I still need to be able to use with my Mac but I can't figure out how to open them with it. Is there a program that I need to download?

Word documents from your PC will open directly in Word for the Mac. If you have the ability to save your Publisher documents from the PC in PDF format, they can be converted from PDF to Word format and emailed back to you by this web site, free of charge:
http://www.pdftoword.com/
Note that not all features of the resulting Word files will be as completely editable as they were in Publisher, but they should look pretty much the same and open easily on the Mac.

Is there a way of locking app folders in iphone?

I have found a lot of app fro locking pictures and files, contacts, etc, Is there a way of locking down a folder that contains apps? Say i don't want someone opening my facebook app or other apps I have. Any help is appreciated.

Unless the app has some sort of passcode written into it, no, you can't lock it. You can't lock folders.
If you don't want someone using your Facebook app, you can log out of it.

Is there a way to import PDF files?

Hello
I am using RoboHelp HTML Version 5.0.2 and I have encountered problems importing PDF files. I have tried all the various options but they all loose the original format. My PDF files can range from one to five pages. Is there a way to import PDF files?

Check the RoboHelp HTML's help. In the Index, type "import" and select the "PDF files" subentry from the "Importing" entry.
Read the "Importing PDF files" topic; see also the link to "Tips for importing PDF files" in which one of the tips is:
Why is my imported PDF file displaying incorrectly?
PDF files can display certain font families that HTML cannot display. Consequently, in rare instances fonts contained in a PDF document may not convert correctly when imported into HTML.
Good luck,
Leon

Is there a way to combine multiple files that were scanned individually into one?*

Is there a way to combine multiple files that were scanned individually into one?*

Assuming the scans are all PDFs, here is one easy way:
Open the first PDF in Preview.
Duplicate (File > Duplicate) if you want to preserve the original.
Choose View > Contact Sheet.
Drag and drop the other files from the Finder into the Contact Sheet window. You can select the files one at a time or multiple files at once.
Arrange the contact sheet icons in the desired order.
Save.

Is there any way to delete duplicate files en mas within the new itunes program?

I've just installed the new itunes program on my laptop. I used the scan for media option to find music. Problem is almost every entry and there's several hundred of them is duplicated and in some cases triplicated within the itunes media library.
Question ... Is there any way to delete duplicated files en mas withing the itunes library folder?
Please don't tell me that I'm going to have to do it individually as that may take days.
Thanks

Apple's official advice on duplicates is here... HT2905: How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as lost ratings and playlist membership.
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background, this post for detailed instructions, and please take note of the warning
to backup your library before deduping.
(If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed.)
The most recent version of the script can tidy dead links as long as there is at least one live duplicate to merge stats and playlist membership to and should cope sensibly when the same file has been added via multiple paths.
