Locking and passwording
how would you lock a and password a single folder.
i looked at the serccrity file lock in prefences and it just says that it will lock the folders to everyone who isnt on your user account. i only have4 one account i only want one account i just want to password a sinle file . how would i do this?
Hi Make believe,
You can make encrypted disk images, but not encrypt individual files. If you just have one file, just make an encrypted disk image that is about 10Mb and store the file in there.

Need remote lock and password reset
This question is in regards to this thread:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/499f83d0-36f8-4f29-a4ce-e32f76632c90/intunesccm-mobile-application-management?forum=microsoftintuneprod
-We currently have ConfigMgr 2012 R2 and want to start using Intune to support company owned iOS devices.
-We must have the ability to perform remote lock and password reset on our iOS devices.
-According to this link https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn600286.aspx this is not possible with ConfigMgr integration. So I assume this means I
should NOT integrate Intune with our ConfigMgr right now, correct? And according to the response referenced above, Microsoft plans on erasing this disparity in the future, so I guess I should just wait until then and use Intune standalone until
then? correct? But at some point it should be safe to do so, correct?
While I am not in this position, it appears that when you are setting up Intune with ConfigMgr you get to a point of no return where you "Set the Mobile Device Management Authority" and the prompt says this is permanent. For those that
have integrated ConfigMgr, does that mean they are stuck and have no option to change to using Intune only to get these features?
I setup ADFS/WAProxy for SSO for Intune. I can still use that without ConfigMgr integration right?
On a different note, is the on-premises connector for Exchange a requirement for Intune? I have seen several tutorial for installing Intune that do not mention this step.
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/eb9618d2-dc90-48be-b921-8044b7e693ac#bkmk_EX_OPHi,
I guess the first question is really up to your company requirements and how long you can wait. as there are now communicated time of release of that feature it is hard to say if it is worth it.
Exchange connector in SCCM 2012, no, Exchnage on premise connector for Conditional Access in Intune, if you want to use that feature yes you need it but you can use Intune without it.
Yes, you can use ADFS/WAP for Intune standalone as well.

When I try to log on to my bank, the bank recognizes the user id but the password the bank sees is not correct. I went through the process with a tech at the bank watching at their end. (cap lock,num lock and password carefully checked) When I switched to Chrome browser no problem logging on. This just started a few days ago. Any ideas?
Today I tried Firefox again and the bank login worked. I only had trouble with my bank recognizing the password (that I very carefully typed). Other sites such as Hotmail had no trouble recognizing my password. I worked with the bank tech guy and tried to log on with him watching at his end. I even reset the password a couple of times. What he saw was the correct user name but incorrect password. He claimed no knowledge of any such issues with the bank software. When I switched to Chrome browser I had no trouble logging in.
The problem is solved for now.
But what happened? -
Option to call one phone number when iPhone is locked and password protected
Dear Sir or Madam,
I have an idea which should be added to your iOS for iPhones. I think that many users would appreciate that and it could help to return a lot of lost iPhones to their owners. Even though I think that it could be used by emergency to contact the relatives in case something happen to the owner. The idea is to allow owner to define one or two numbers which could be called from the iPhone when it is locked and protected by password. Same option as it is for emergency nowadays.
Please try to consider it.
Thank you,
Yours sincerely,
Kamil Olahhttp://www.apple.com/feedback/

IMac with lock and password!
I try to reset my administrator password because i couldn't remember the one I set up, then I follow the apple support steps to set it up, after I was done I restart my computer just like they suggested and now I have a freaking lock with password! I try few other steps and nothing is working, this is a refurbish iMac so no cd was enclosed in the box. I believe the password was from the previews owner because all the codes I would normally use doesn't work..... I need to solve this problem from home the apple store is 2 hours away! I purchase this iMac thru the apple.com so you guys can see it's my property not stolen.
You need to reinstall OS X:
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
This assumes you had Lion or later installed. If the computer has Snow Leopard or earlier, then you will need the installer discs that should have come with the computer:
Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.

Keyboard lock and password request
Hi,
Can anyone please help me with the following:
When taking a call my key pad is not locking and I keep putting people on hold/mute etc when talking to them. Also voice mail keeps requesting I set up voice mail when I have already done so.
Cheers
JonHi,
Keypad, When you put the phone to your ear, the proximity sensor detects you and kills the screen so you don't hit any keys while talking. It sounds like this is not happening in your case. When you pull the phone away from your face, do you see the screen light up or does it appear that it is already lit?
Is the phone in a cover? This may be effecting the sensor.
Reset the phone. Hold Home and Sleep buttons till you see the Apple logo and see if that resolves the issue.
If it still is not working you could try Restoring the phone, this will enable the OS to be reloaded onto the phone incase there is an issue preventing the sensor from working correctly.
Finally if that doesn't resolve it there may be a hardware issue with the sensor and the phone needs to be checked by Apple.
Voicemail, this is a carrier controlled feature. You could try calling your own voicemail and go into the setup area to make sure that it is set up correctly or you could call your carrier and have them check that the voicemail is set up correctly.
Hope this helps -

Hello!
sir my blackberry is stolen it was very much locked with the password code how it can be located.
can any one help to reply. We have currently blocked the tel number.
Please help to locate the phone..........
Thanks,
Awaiting replyIf the person enters the wrong password 10 times what will happen is that the phone will wipe itself and all of you personal data on it will be removed and cleared from your phone, meaning that at the very least, the person who stole your phone won't be able to access your data on it.
Hopefully if your name and address were on it, you'll get it back, but that obviously depends on the guy who has it now.
Now then, if your phone was purchased from your carrier, they should have the IMEI, so they will hopefully blacklist your phone. And if they do that, even if the person who stole the phone gets access to it after it's been wiped, they won't be able to actually use the phone to make calls and send text messages, so it will basically be a useless device to them or anyone else.
If you want to thank someone for their comment, do so by clicking the Thumbs Up icon.

Ipad locked and password forgotten
My iPad is blocked and I lost password. How to restore it because it does not appear in iTunes ?
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup).
If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.
You may have to put your iPad in Recovery Mode

Last week I changed my Apple ID. I was having some problems with getting "incorrect ID or password" message. sometimes it would accept my info and sometimes it wouldn't. I got tired with messing with it and decided to just create a new Apple ID and password. The new ID has worked ok, but my icloud account still comes up with my old ID. I tried to change that but couldn't without signing in with the old ID. I did several times but I always get the message "incorrect Apple ID and password". I tried using other password but nothing worked. Now I'm not sure what the password is. I have asked for a password reset to be sent to me but nothing comes ( using my regular email ). I have tried using the secret questions and I get them all correct except my birthday doesn't jive with what they say. I really need some ideas. My icloud account is essentially locked to me and isn't backing up my stuff. that's about all I can think of to tell you.
Hunter of Sock Monsters thanks...I did follow your advise. I went to the iforgot site and tried answering the secret questions twice. I got the "wrong answer", so the next time I asked for an email authentication. I am still waiting. I don't know what the usual time for waiting normally is. I am still waiting for an email reply from three days ago. I'm not going to hold my breath. My ipad is out of warranty but I may have to beg for help from support? I'll wait awhile longer. Maybe there is another thing someone could come up with. I appreciate your fast reply Hunter.

My seven year old daughter got an ipod touch a few months ago from her father. She has now forgotten her password and it has been tried too many times and so the ipod has been disabled. It now say connect to itunes. I have tried to do this with the USB cable and itunes on my computer. Unfortunately it will not work as it will not connect saying the device is locked and to enter the password.
This is not the computer that she previously connected to and she may not be able to get access to that computer. Is there a way for us to reset the password preferably without having to restore the ipod and lose everything she has on it?Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store -

My daughter's ipod touch is password locked and attached to a computer that doesnt exist anymore. i want to authorize it to my computer itunes account but itunes wont even read it due to the password failure. what can i do?
That's by design. The password is designed to protect the user's information and cannot be circumvented. You can restore it to "new" condition though, and sync it to your computer. The iPod Touch's content will be securely erased by doing this.
Refer to iOS: Unable to update or restore. Follow the instructions exactly as written. -

iCloud on my iPhone still has my old email in it with no option to update it. I have no access to the old email. I updated my email and password online via my macbook, but my phone will not recognize either! It keeps popping up a screen for me to enter my password, but it says it's incorrect.
How do I fix this on my phone?????
I can't fix it online because my iCloud online (although working) does not recognize either of my devices because they need updated….which I'm not able to do due to storage issues.
I just want my phone to recognize the new email and password!!
I have no idea what I'm doing but I'm about to throw this phone across the room.
thanks!Welcome to the Apple community.
If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID and that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details and some other circumstances.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device. It may take a short while to remove the account.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

You should still be able to log into an old email account, even if you haven't used it for some time, very few providers delete email accounts.
