Password protect ordering

How can I password protect others in my home from ordering premium channels like HBO, etc.?

Hi, you can set up a purchase control. You would have to do this on each cable box.
Use the remote. Hit menu/setting/parental controls
It will ask you to create a password. Make up a 4 digit password, enter it on the keypad and hit ok. A very similiar screen will pop up and say confirm password. You should enter the very same password a second time and hit ok.
Now that you are in, you have three main ways to apply controls.
1. You can block an entire channel (I.e. playboy or hbo or cinemax)
2. You can block content by rating.
3. You can block purchases (anyone wanting to do a purchase will be required to put either a parental or 2nd purchase pin)
For your request, go down to "control purchases" you'll see how it is set to no pin. You want to make the check mark and put it next "use parental pin" (they will be required to use the pin you just made) or put the checkmark next to "use purchase pin" (this will require that you create and confirm a seperate and new pin just for purchases)
After that your done. So it seems like a lot of steps but its not too bad.
Condensed, they look like this.
Menu/settings/parental controls.
Create pin/confirm pin
Select control purchases and finally select use parental pin.
Rinse and repeat with each cable box that you need this for.

  • Trying to create a password protected disk image in 10.8.4

    Trying to create a password protected disk image in 10.8.4. I follow steps in Apple:Support but I get an error saying "Resource busy"?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and  Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • How to create PDF from Excel with Password Protection Using Visual Studio & Visual Basic

    Could someone provide some VB code sample(s) to create a PDF file with password protection (Security Method - Password Security - Restrict Editing & Printing)?
    I create a bunch of reports every week using an Excel 2010 addin that subsequently must be printed to PDF.  I then have to manually edit the properties of each document in order to apply the printing restriction.
    I'm using Acrobat X.
    I've downloaded the SDK but have no idea which dll's to use or where to begin.
    Thanks!

    That's surprising & disappointing.  I would have thought that this capability would have long since been requested.
    Thanks for the heads up.

  • Can I set up form results to be viewed in a password protected area?

    Hi,
    I am trying to create a form to capture leads for my new lead capture website. I have a bankruptcy business and would like another, new website that I can capture bankruptcy leads from a form. A lead would, of course, be someone who comes to my site and is interested in contacting with an attorney to schedule a free consultation by filling out an online form - "name, state, county, debts, etc.)
    What I would like to do is set up a nationwide site and sell, refer, give, trade? leads from other states to other local attorneys.
    So, my question is, could I set up a form with FormsCentral that I could integrate with a password protected section of my website that the other lawyers could login to in order to check form results? Could it be set so many different users (ie lawyers advertising on my site) could login to check results for their personalized form (for example lawyer A in State A can log into his own private page to check results from Form A, lawyer B in State B can login to a private page to check results from form B and so on and so forth...) Would I need a developer to code this application? Any help would be appreciated.
    Obviously this project was a larger than I expected.
    Thanks a lot!

    We likely wouldn't be a good fit for this. You'll likely have to build a custom application (developer doing coding) to support your use case.

  • On android tablet/phone login box fails to appear to enable access to password protected files. says' unable to open file. try again later'. This only occurs where Adobe is already installed

    On all the android devices we have where Adobe reader has been installed,  no login box appears to enter a password where this is required to read the file. A message comes up saying the file cannot be accessed at this time, and to try again later. The box does however appear where Adobe isn't installed, but as soon as Adobe is installed in order to read the file, it becomes inaccessible again. What do I need to do.

    Hi,
    Are you trying to open a password protected pdf? Could you please forward the file to [email protected] so that we may investigate?

  • My Mac got hacked. I was working on a word document when the computer suddenly started typing meaningful sentences on its own that describes how the hacker is skillful. At the that time I was on a password protected wifi and file sharing was off.

    This is the first time I get hacked this bad. I was working on a microsoft word document when the computer suddenly started typing meaningful sentences on its own that describes how skillfull the hacker is. At the that time I was on a friends wifi network that is password protected (not sure about the encyrption), the Os X Firewall was on. I was using the admin profile, however, file sharing was off. I'm very careful not to install any suspecious 3rd party software.
    So far I have verified permissions and fixed some errors there, and changed passwords.
    Do I have to erase/format my computer and reinstall the Os? If so is it adequte to use the internet recovery tool or will it use old and possibly infected EFI/Root files?
    Would appreciate the advice of all the Mac experts out there. Thanks

    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac. 
    These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing. 
    Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects. 
    Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands. 
    Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply. 
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways: 
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.) 
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens. 
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid. 
    When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign. 
    Step 1 
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}' | open -ef
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting. A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. If the command produced no output, the window will be empty. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window), if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
    Step 2 
    Repeat with this line:
    { sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix\.cron)|org\.(amav|apac|cups|isc|ntp|postf|x)/{print $3}'; echo; sudo launchctl getenv DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES; echo; sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook; echo; sudo crontab -l; } 2> /dev/null | open -ef
    This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. 
    Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step. 
    Step 3
    { launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'; echo; launchctl getenv DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES; echo; crontab -l 2> /dev/null; } | open -ef
    Step 4
    ls -A /e*/{cr,la,mach}* {,/}Lib*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts .la* 2> /dev/null | open -ef
    Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting. 
    Step 5
    osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of login items' | open -ef
    Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output. 
    You can then quit Terminal.

  • Password Protected PDF Files in Elementary OS

    I have installed Acrobat 9.5.5 on my Elementary OS (Ubuntu base) system but when I try to open a password protected PDF file from my bank Acrobat fails with the error "There was an error opening this document. An updated version of Acrobat is needed in order to open this document.".
    The version that I have installed claims to be 9.5.5 04/26/2013.
    Has anyone got any pointers?
    Thanks

    Well,  first, you probably don't have Acrobat 9.5.5 installed on Ubuntu unless you are running a VM image or using WINE to do so.  You are probably using Adobe Reader 9.x.  If a file was encrypted for Acrobat X and later then you do actually need Adobe Reader version 10.x or later.  Unfortunately there isn't a version 10.x for UNIX/LINUX.  What to do?  Use a VM or WINE and load it up that way.  If you really are running Acrobat 9.5.5 on Ubuntu via a VM image or WINE then you need to load Adobe Reader 10.x or Adobe Reader 11.x.

  • SAP version 4.7  Email pdf file that is password protected.

    Hi Gurus,
    We have a requirement:
      Email pdf file that is password protected.
      Once the user receives the email,  clicks on the attached pdf file,
         it should ask the password.  Note that Password value should come from SAP.
    What we have done is get the spool number and by using function module CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF, it converts the spool document to pdf.
    On this function module, there are no parameters to make pdf as password protected and
      also include the password.  This is the problem.
    Question:
       (a) Is there a way to make pdf password protected that will be emailed?
            What function modules, etc to be used?  (sample coding if available)
       (b) Somebody mentioned the that Adobe LiveCycle Policy Server should be installed together with SAP.
            If this is installed, how then would be the abap coding be in order to make the pdf password
                protected?
            How is the new policy server gonna be linked to SAP and how do the abap coding gonna be?
               (sample abap coding if available)
    Thanks.

  • OBIEE 11g having problems with password protected PDF files.

    I have been able to get an analysis in OBIEE 11g to display PDF files.
    However, some of these documents contain sensitive information and must be secured. Since anyone with access to the file name
    could simply type in the proper path in the browser window, this is unacceptable. In order to try and prevent this, I created a pdf file
    that is protected with a password.
    Opening the file by itself, produces the desired results. The password is requested before the file will open.
    When I open the file through my analysis in OBIEE, Adobe reader activates, but the password is not requested and the file does not open.
    It is as if OBIEE is somehow not sensing that Adobee is asking for a password.
    Does anyone have any experience with this?

    FYI, in case anyone is interested, I found out what is going on.
    I created the original password protected PDF using Microsoft Word. I did this because I do not have a full version of Adobe Acrobat that allows me to create files.
    On a hunch, I found someone that has a full version of Acrobat, and had them create a password protected PDF file. This file worked perfectly.
    Apparently, Word is not strictly adhering to PDF guidelines, and OBIEE senses the differences, resulting in the file not opening properly.
    Something to keep in mind for anyone linking to password protected PDF files in OBIEE.

  • How to password protect non .mac web site

    does anyone have step-by-step directions on how to make my web page password protected on a non .mac web space?
    for example, http://www.yoursite.net/~userid
    My internet service provider does not support web page creation, they just provide the space.
    The only thing they said was the path to my directory is /rmgrazi/public_html/ and I should create my index.html file inside the public folder. I've tried creating and uploading a .htaccess file in the public folder, and then putting a .htpasswd file in my root directory /rmgrazi/
    This doesn't seem to work. Any advice appreciated. Thanks.

    Thanks for your help -- I'm not an expert by any means -- this is my first website... just wanting to put up a family website to share with friends & people I know.
    OK, the url is http://www.hickorytech.net/~rmgrazi/
    Right now I just have a blank page up that says "test website"
    My .htaccess file is located in /rmgrazi/public_html/ (yes, I put it inside the public folder in order to password protect my whole site).
    By the way I'm using TextEdit in OS X, so when I upload the original file with Fetch, it looks like htaccess.txt -- after it's uploaded (as text, not binary of course) then I simply change the name to .htaccess
    My .htaccess file includes the following:
    AuthUserFile /rmgrazi/.htpasswd
    AuthName Members Area
    AuthType Basic
    Require valid-user
    Then I uploaded the .htpasswd one level up to /rmgrazi/ like it says in .htaccess.
    The text in this file is just one line with my username:password (the password is written in code). I found a website that does this automatically. Then I just cut & paste it in apple+v
    I tried using the Terminal application in OS X panther to see if the server path needs to be longer -- I logged into my ftp.hickorytech.net and entered "pwd" -- that command is supposed to show the server path. /rmgrazi/public_html/ are the only folders I can see. "/" is as far back as it will show.
    In Fetch I can change the permissions for .htaccess and .htpasswd by clicking Get Info -- I tried all different combinations, 644, 711, etc... Maybe my permissions are set wrong?

  • How to display in browser a password protected pdf file I created?

    I created a password protected pdf file.
    I want to display the file in browser so that viewers can only view it online.
    It is better that viewers cannot download it.
    But I donot know how to prevent viewers downloading the file.
    Since the pdf is password protected, viewers don't have the password even they download it.
    But how can I display the password protected pdf file in browser when I know the password?
    Or is there a better to just viewers see the pdf file online and prevent them from downloading and printing it?

    Any file on the web has to be copied to the local machine in order for the file content to be presented to the viewer. That's how the "www" is built.  So, to make use of your web based PDF the file has to be downloaded to the local machine. This might be to the local machine's temporary internet / browser cache or (via a 'save this to my computer') to some other location on the local machine's HDD. Bottom line -- web based files get downloaded this is the case for protected file or a non-protected file.
    Be well...

  • Password protected iWeb sites - problem with login

    This is an FYI regarding a problem I recently encountered. Neither MobileMe, nor Apple tech support or specialists were able to resolve it, but I finally figured it out.
    I created a company website for my client, including secondary websites that were password protected in order for her clients to download support materials for her classes. The passwords worked fine last night, but this morning we could not login with the setup passwords. Even when we changed them and tried to re-upload the entire site, we could not. I don't know specifically what changed, but we went through a plethora of solutions over many hours, but to no avail.
    In the end, it appears that how we setup the domain was where the problem existed. We have our own domain through Netfirms, which we set up to use in MobileMe as per the instructions. In Netfirms however, when you log into version 8, it does not give you the option to change the CNAME, as MobileMe states needs to be done. Instead I had set up the domain to forward to our "web.me.com/company" site. This was the problem.
    To correct this, I turned off the url forwarding and logged out of Netfirms. Then logged back in, but into version 6 of the control panel. From here I was able to setup the CNAME as web.me.com. And ta-da, once it updated on the server the entire site and all password protected areas are working as needed.
    Phew.

    To password protect a site, folder or page when using a server other than MobileMe you need to either enable this in your control panel or do it using a .htaccess file.
    The server side script is the most secure way to do it. There are javascripts that you can use but they are less secure.....
    http://www.javascriptkit.com/script/cutindex6.shtml
    Doing it via the control panel is easier but, if you want to go the htaccess route, you can generate it online here....

  • Is there a way to password protect a Desktop Folder in Yosemite

    I have an IMAC running Yosemite 10.10.2. I would like to password protect a Desktop Folder. Is there a way to do this?

    You need to find a third-party utility that does that. You should find one at macupdate.com or at the App Store. In order to use OS X you would need to create an encrypted disc image using Disk Utility, then store your folder in the disc image. That way only you can mount the disc image and access the data.
