My suggestions:: 001 - Password Protected Pictures Folder

since the iPhone is a device that everybody seems to want to touch... it follows that it would be nice to be able to have a secured folder within the Pictures folder that is passowrd protected so I can move pictures there that I dont want just anyone looking at... (i.e. (for the sickos out there... pictures of things I may be planning on getting for christmas for wife and kids... etc.)
right now it is wide-open, for anyone that doesn't understand that a phone is something personal, to see... gosh!!!

  • Progmatically save to password protected network folder

    I am looking to save a file to a password protected network folder.  I tried using the standard Write Text.vi to see if a dialog would pop up, but it did not.  There is not an ftp server running on the networked computer, so I dont think that will work.
    The IT department directions to the folder say:  Go to Start> Run and enter url \\computername\folder\subfolder\...  and a dialog will appear to enter username and password.
    Any ideas??
    Thanks

    That simply reiterates what the IT department originally told the poster to do, except that you're using the administrative share.

    To do this you will need to delve into the Windows API. You can also use .NET to perform impersonation. Most of the examples that are on the internet are based on .NET 1.1 and it's probably easier to simply create yourself a custom class that you can call using a single method rather than trying to put all the .NET code into LabVIEW. An example of using impersonation (though there are lots of them) can be found here. 

  • 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.

  • Password Protect a Folder

    Hello,
    is there a way to password protect a folder?

    Almost. You can open "Disk Utility", then File > New > Disk Image From Folder. Choose the Folder you want to "password protect", then click Image. In the next dialog box, choose one of the two types of encryption (not none!). Also choose a name for the disk image, and click "Save". You will be prompted for a password for the disk image. Now you have made a copy of the Folder you wanted to password protect, and it will have a dmg extension. To eliminate the original Folder, drag it to the Trash and then "Secure Erase" the Trash. To use the new password-protected disk image, double click it and type in your password. In fact, you probably won't need to remember the password for the disk image itself, because it will be stored in your keychain. Rather you will need to type in your usual login password so that disk utility can retrieve the image's password from your keychain.
    Two comments:
    1. You may not want to secure erase the original folder until you are sure the disk image works!
    2. I don't have a lot of experience with this, so I can't promise the disk image will be writable, and not read-only.

  • Does anyone have any suggestions for password protecting e-mail on the i pad?

    Does anyone have any suggestions for password protecting e-mail on the i pad?  Other people sometimes want to use my i pad but I don't want them to have access to my e-mail (which is on AOL)
    Presently you can password protect the whole i pad by having to put in a 4 digit code to open it, but once it's open whoever is using it has access to everything you have on it.

    Skydiver...that did it!!  I shut the mail app from automatically opening and now I can sign onto my AOL acct. through Safari!!  I had called Apple Care and had asked  different peope in Apple stores about this and no one but you had any suggestions!  YAY!!  Thanks!!!

  • What are good suggestions regarding Password Protection programs for Apple?

    I'm looking to implement a Password Protection file/system throughout my Apple world (iMac, iPhone, iPad) and was wondering what is the strongest/user friendly programs available for Apple stuff.

    I've been very happy with 1Password, which has apps for Mac, Windows, iOS and Android. You can share a single password file via Dropbox, making it easy to manage all your passwords as well as secure notes, credit card information, and other such private info. There are other similar utilities that others may recommend, but I've found no reason to switch.

  • Password-protect a folder within a PDF Portfolio?

    Is it possible to password-protect an individual folder within a PDF Portfolio?  (I don't want the password to apply to the Portfolio as a whole). 

    You can protect the PDF documents.

  • Is there (or could be) and option to password protect a folder in a mailbox list in Thunderbird? One click, no encryption or additional programs.

    In your mailboxes you have folder trees. I would like to have a password protection for one of them, so when somebody clicks on the folder 'Accounts', it asks for a password to see the contents.
    No master passwords or passwords for the whole inboxes. I don't want to input a password 10 times a day when i open up TB. Just when i click on a specific folder that may have some emails inside, that should be protected from view.
    Just simple, one click add password, enter password, see contents. No encryption or additional auxiliary programs.
    Has somebody already done that or could do as a built in feature or and add-on?
    Thank you!

    Well, if you don't encrypt it, chances are the mail store files themselves will be readable in any text editor.
    This add-on offers some password capability: https://nic-nac-project.org/~kaosmos/profilepassword-en.html
    There is also a config editor setting that requests a password. See this: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Protecting_the_contents_of_the_profile_-_mail and specifically, "Note: You can password protect the contents of the message pane by setting mail.password_protect_local_cache to true using the configuration editor in conjunction with setting a master password in Thunderbird."
    However, I believe that both of these work at an account level rather than on specific folders. And both offer trivial and weak protection.

  • How do I Password-Protect a folder

    I have a folder in my Documents area that I would like to password protect. Can someone give a little guidance how I can encrypt it so no-one but I can access it?

    Click here and follow the instructions followed by placing the folders and files on the image; if the password is in the keychain, it will be supplied whenever you're logged in.

  • Password protected picture

    Hi, Martin. Welcome to the Discussions.
    One or more of these apps may help.
    When looking for new applications, I recommend searching MacUpdate or Version Tracker. The user-submitted reviews accompanying the listings can be helpful in sorting the wheat from the chaff.

  • [Suggestion] Account password for user-folder encryption

    Not sure where suggestions would go, but does anyone else think this should be a feature?
    Setting a user's password should crypt that users folder (using bitlocker?) so other users aren't able to just browse to it on the drive. Attempting to access another users folder should bring up a prompt asking for that users password. I know you can bitlock
    an entire drive, but this would prevent user B from accessing user A's files. yes/no. is this already a feature i'm unaware of?

    Hi,
    Thank you for your suggestions. We could take use of Windows Feedback Tool to submit suggestions or issues encountered.
    Besides, we can't use a password to protect files and folders in Windows. However, some programs that run on Windows allow you to protect individual files with a password.  There are other ways to protect your files and folders in Windows. You can encrypt
    your files using Encrypting File System (EFS), manually specify who can access the folders or files by setting permissions, or hide them. Choose your method based on how secure the folders or files need to be. Encrypting is the most secure, while hiding the
    folders is the least secure.
    For more information about EFS, see
    What is Encrypting File System (EFS)?
    For more information about permissions, see
    What are permissions?

  • Password Protecting a Folder

    Hey Guys!
    This is probably a simple question, but I can't seem to find the answer on my own. I am trying to set up a folder on a make shift sever from an iMac G5 Power PC running 10.3.9 that someone on an emac can back up files to. I would like to set it up where she will be the only one that will have access to this folder, meaning that someone cannnot go on the sever and access the folder.
    Any suggestions?
    Thank You!

    Use Disk Utility to create a disk image with 128-bit encryption. Store your files inside of it and give only her the password.

  • Why can't I save my password protected file in a password protected folder?

    I've just encrypted my folder which contains password protected files. I've attempted to save a new password protected file (Word document) but have had to save it to my desktop because when I try to save the file to the folder I receive a message: "Word cannot save or create this file. The disk may be full [which it is not] or write-protected [which it is]". Sooooooo. Does this mean I can only password protect the folder and not the files? Which is really annoying because I really do need the two levels of security. Please can someone help?

    File Vault is not in Disk Utility.  It is in System Preferences/Security/FileVault.

  • Password Protecting An entire folder in documents?

    I need to be able to password protect a folder within my Documents folder, as it contains very sensitive info. Does anyone know how to do this in pages '09? Thanks

    Use Disk Utility to create a password-protected Disk Image - choose a size large enough to store all the documents you expect to put in it. Place this wherever convenient: double-clicking it will ask for a password and open the image (looking like an external hard disk) and you can copy your files into it. When you close it it will require the password to re-open it.
    Don't forget the password
