Lock a folder? its not possible?

I would like to make a folder and lock it so a password is required to access what is in the folder.
as far as I have found it isn't possible.
Can anyone prove me wrong?

The best way to hide p0rn, oh, sorry, sensitive information is to make a password protected image file .dmg (through the disk utility). Make it a sparse image so stuff can be added to it indefinitely, and make sure you remember the password and untick "add to keychain" (or similar),
Failing that you can make a folder "invisible" by changing its name so that it starts with a DOT.
Also there are some utilities which allow you to put a pass on a folder, but I (call me paranoid) don't like them.

I'm not able to send emails with mail.ru. Receiving and reading is not a problem. When I create a email with mail.ru its not possible to send it although its stored in my mail.ru account as "still to be send". What can it be??

I'm not able to send emails with mail.ru. Receiving is not a problem.

If you are now in the UK then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they can remove the balance from your account : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

You can't. All apps, and any other content from the store, are tied to the account that downloaded them, and they will remain tied to that account - so only the account that bought/downloaded an app can download updates to an app. Are you having problems downloading an app update via the app's own account ?

I have created DBCA Scripts to batch create a DB. So I want inside these scripts to replace the DBNAME with a variable. So I can create different DBS with these prescriptions from an API tool.

If you can't test because you are afraid the test might fail, you need to address that issue first. No one on the web is going to give you iron-clad assurance that some code you write is going to work exactly as you expect.
Your script is trying to create a database? What's the worst thing that can happen if it doesn't work? Do you know how to manually dis-mantle whatever your script does? If not, you need to learn. The knowledge you will gain from that exercise will go a long way to improving your understanding of how these things interrelate.

Hi mncazzaro,
Furthering on from Ztuka, this limit is set for paid applications. You can re-download it up to 10 times by signing into Nokia Store and accessing My Stuff. In case you have lost any purchased content items in your My Stuff, for example because the item has been unpublished and removed from Nokia Store, please contact Nokia Care for further assistance (http://nokia.com/support and choose Contact Us). Give a short problem description, your Nokia account username and the name of the content item you wish to re-download.
Note that your new device must be compatible with your previous downloads.
If you have further issues with this, try the following:
Check your settings in application manager and make sure that "Software Installation" should be set to "All" and "Online Certificate check" to "off ".
Alternatively, you could try a workaround by downloading the apps on your computer and syncing it through data cable.
Hope this helps and please report back with your outcome.

IPad 2 playing of all music videos in the folder is not possible. You can play a music video (all purchased from iTunes) but once is finished you have to manually select another one. This defeats the whole concept of having a music video library

How could we play all music videos within the music folder in the iPad2 ? In other words, select all, choose random, and click play and all music videos will automatically play upon completion of the one been viewed without the user having to deselect another video manually (annoying interrupt).
Currently you have to choose each music video and upon completion choose the next one manually. That defeats the whole concept of a music video library.
This does not happen on previous iPad or MacBook Pro iTunes!!!!!
Very annoying.
Thanks,

Its not possible to change outlook standard template

this seems to be a really easy question..
how do i change the standard-Outlook template ?
I have tried to update the Tab spacing default from 0.5 to 0.25 but when I close it, it looses the setting!!!
What I have tried already:
1. I have opened a new email - changed the setting and saved. Did not work!
2. I have opened NormalEmail.dotm - changed the setting and saved. Did not work!
3. I have opened Normal.dotm - changed the setting and saved. Setting works in Word, but not in Outlook!!!
This is rediculous!!!
by the way: ist not working either with Outlook 2013
thanks for any ideas that u have checked upfront..
ray, switzerland
raymond reininger

I've got the same result as you test.
If you only want to change the Tab spacing default from 0.5 to 0.25, kindly code a vba when you create a new message - automatically change tab stop spacing to 0.25. In Word, we can easily complete it by the code:
Sub Macro()
Selection.ParagraphFormat.TabStops.ClearAll
ActiveDocument.DefaultTabStop = CentimetersToPoints(0.25)
End Sub
However, I have no idea how to convert it to Outlook. We may post the question to the forum for Outlook Developer, and other partners who read the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction.

Why its not possible to install osx on pc ?

hii
i just have a dream to have an OS X On my windows pc
i love apple with all its products but in egypt its so expensive so its soo hard buy apple device iMac MacAir MacPro ,
so i hope to hear that is osx can be availble for pc its my dream

One word.
"Architecture"
While they both use Intel processors, that's where the similarities end. OS X requires additional "signing" in hardware that Windows PCs don't have and they cannot (legally) imitate or copy. Windows will run on a Mac because everything it needs is there, plus the Apple proprietary changes, which don't prevent Windows from running.
Barney-15E is right. If you want or need to have both systems, you NEED TO do it on a Mac. Apple isn't going to release a "PC version" of OS X in this lifetime. It would be bad for business.
