Is there a way to protect a folder's contents with a password?

I wish to keep the documents in a particular folder private. Am I able to set up a password to prevent access to the folder's contents?

Disk Utility -> File menu -> New blank image -> Choose the maximum size, select Sparse Bundle, and specify the level of encryption you want.
Once the image is created, double click it. This will mount a virtual "drive" on the desktop. Put your files inside the drive. Eject the drive when done, and your files are protected and encrypted inside the disk image.

  • Is there a way to create a log-in button with a password protected section of a site?

    I have a client that needs a log-in section and a way to create a customer account. Is there a widget or workaround that allows me to create a log-in button and create a customer account where they specify a username and password? Muse is terrific for simple sites, but without having access to the code, I can't operate the way I used to. When I'd need custom work done like this, I'd hire a programmer to create the code, then simply paste it into the code of the site. I can't do this with Muse and it's a huge barrier. Anyone have any ideas or solutions? Please call me directly if you have a solution: 727-466-6888 (Florida).

    You can fairly easy do it with Business Catalyst hosting's webMarketing plan. With a little Business Catalyst knowledge it can be achieved quite easily.
    Other than that you would need to create your login forms and secure pages outside of your site and then add the login form and secure content to the site with iFrames. A more tedious and not ideal way of doing it.

  • Is there a way to download a folder or all the contents of a folder?

    Is there a way to download a folder or all the contents in a folder? I uploaded all the photos into my Creative Cloud but now I am out of the office and working on another computer so I need all those images so I can create a DVD Slide show for A&M. I need all the images, over 100 of them. Is there a way I can download this entire folder or at least all the images in the folder at one time? All I can find for download is to download each image separately one at a time. I can't even select them all and say download every image selected. I don't want to sit here for hours downloading one image at a time, that's just ridiculous.
    Help Please!

    Ken,
    Just wanted let you know the answer was not helpful but it was correct. Thank you for your time in answering me.

  • Is there a way to protect the iCloud control panel access with a password in Windows 7?

    I have MS Outlook sync'd with my iCloud services in my Windows7 office PC (I'm pushing for Macs, but quite there yet, unfortunately!), and I have it password protected so nobody else can access my files. However, the iCloud app in Control Panel doesn't have any password protection so it can be messed with at any moment. Is there any way to protect it, or are there any plans to include this feature in future updates?

    Same here, I use iCloud on an office PC.
    I would like to password protect the access to the iCloud Control Panel. Is there a way to do that? I can either "Sign in" or "Sign Out."
    if I sign out I can't add iCloud calendar to Outlook. If I stay signed in, IT could easily activate my personal iCloud mail.
    Ideally, there should be a checkbox to just add calendar and leave mail, contacts and task out all together.
    Thanks.

  • Is there a way to send a folder without zipping it first?

    Is there a way to send a folder without zipping it first? YouSendIt.com has a feature that zips the folder with the contents for you. Would love to see this added if it's not there already.

    Not with the most common email systems - webmail, POP, SMTP or IMAP. 
    The only email system I know of that can prevent forwarding (or copying or printing) is Lotus Notes (now called IBM Notes).  I believe it can technically be done within an MS Exchange environment, but I have never actually seen it implemented in one.

  • Is there a way to protect a USB flash drive from virus?

    My daughter's school computer lab is seemingly infected with some PC virus but their school IT folks seem to be unable to clean them and with all the young kids using USB flash drives they brought these viruses home when they plug the flash drive into our home computer but luckily since we are using Mac at home and I have ClamXav installed it detected the virus immediately. So we are kind of safe but I am getting tired of removing this same virus every week using UNIX command in a terminal mode, as it's locked and can only removed using the sudo command (taught by some people). My questions are:
    1. Is there any way to protect a USB flash drive from virus infection (it's a window PC virus)
    2. is there a way or suggestion on how to stop these apart from dis-infecting the whole school computers? The problems are that these young kids are not aware of those viruses in their USB flash drives and their teachers are just too ignorant about it!
    Thanks for any suggestions and help

    I'd still invest in your case into Mac protection against passing along malware.
    Take a look at Intego AV for one for the Mac and for dual-protection.
    http://www.intego.com
    Whatever you are finding is 'dormant' I assume, but that doesn't mean it can't become active or passed along either. And there are some 'man in the middle' spyware and malware, some which target online home banking (some people run their home banking from a virtual OS that is used for that purpose only, I always wished Mac OS X could be run in a VM mode as well).
    The IT folks sound like they need... do their jobs properly and better.
    I don't care how young they are, or the staff's ignorance. Time for education is now.
    Download and install Microsoft Security Essentials in Windows and follow guidelines. And there are tons of FAQs, guidelines and articles on the subject.

    Nearly six months after Apple added a malware blocker to Mac OS X (Snow Leopard), the feature appears to be collecting cobwebs.
    Apple has not added any anti-malware signature updates to the XProtect.plist file that launched with antidotes for OSX.RSPlug.A and OSX.Iservice, two known Trojan horse programs targeting Mac OS X users.

  • Is there a way to run a 2005 PreSonus Firebox(with the firewire) to a mid-2011 iMac 0SX 10.7.2? It says its no longer supporting Power PC? Anything I can do without spending more money on new equipment or a new computer? Please help me.

    Nevermind, I got it working.
    I ended up extracting the new vob within MPEG Streamclip, which gave me an m2v and an aiff audio. I multiplexed those two back together in FFMpegX which gave me a complete VIDEO_TS folder with BUP and IFO files I needed.

    Upgrade to 10.7.5. See:
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

  • Is there a way to create a drop down menu with an automatic answer dependent on what is chosen?

    Is there a way to create a drop down menu with an automatic answer dependent on what is chosen? An if-then statement perhaps?  I am looking to add over 100 drop down options and would like to have a message automatically pop up depending one which option they chose.  Thank you.

    Hi,
    You would use the skip logic to conditionally show form items based on the selection within the drop-down menu. Here's a link to a description of the feature in our help documentation:

    I was recently burglarized and lost a bunch of Apple products. Is there a way to get receipts for items purchased with my Apple ID?
