Password protect Photos & Movies

Can anyone tell me of away to password protect certain folders in photos and movies. I would like to keep certain photo's and movies private. I have searched the App store and there appear to be several Apps that protect files, but none that protect photo's and/or movie files. Thanks for your input.

There is no way to do this. You can apply a passcode lock to the iPhone, but there's no way to restrict access to individual pics/movies (the only exception is songs/movies +purchased in iTunes+ with an Explicit tag, which can be blocked using Restrictions on the iPhone).

  • Iweb and using mobileme password protected photo gallery

  • Is there a way to password protect a movie?

    We have imovie in our school. We were looking to password protect our movies so other students could'nt tamper with them. Is this possible? If so how?

    Have the students create a Sparse Disk Image, This also prevents fragmentation of the project across your disk. Set the target size at about what your intended goals are. Here I show Custom 20 GB.
    Disk Utility>New Image>set the dialouge boxes as shown.

    Sorry the format should have been Sparce Disk Image and not read/write disk image on the botton drop down list. A read/write will always remain the size you select in custom.
    After the steps shown you will be required to type in a password and verify it. Before each use they would have to mount the disk image with thier password and when the movies is complete it will only take up the actual space used.
    With MPEG-4 you can also protect your completed movies in various ways to be able to share it over the internet, DVD and prevent the content from being saved, copied or even viewed elsewhere as well. Some tools are available and it is my understanding that you can "create" your own. Contact Apple directly and they may be able to direct you to some educational resources for MPEG-4 IPMP-X or DRM software.

  • Can i password protect photos?

    Wanting to password protect photos, and remove from camera roll. Is this possible?

    There is no way to password protect photos on iPhones.  Why would you need this when you should be passcode locking the entire phone?
    You can remove photos from Camera Roll by connectint to a computer with a photo import app, importing them to that app and deleting from Camera Roll (most apps will do this).  The photos are no longer on the phone at all.  You can sycn them back to the phone in a new folder, but not password protected.

  • Password Protection of Movie Clips

    We are making instructional movies for students and would like to put all the movies on one dvd. However, we do not want the student to be able to proceed to higher level instruction until they have satisfied the requirements of the current level. Is there a way to password protect each movie on the dvd so that the instructor can give the student the password when they have satisfied to the requirements to proceed to the next level?

    I'd think you really need to contact Seagate Tech support for an answer. Briefly looking at their web site (which is horribly outdated - for those drives they only mention G4 and G5 Apple machines), it looks like the security feature does indeed require a BIOS, and is not available with an EFI firmware machine.

  • Password protect photos

    Is there a way to protect selected photo files with a password?

    TD - You seem to have an extraordinary hostility in your Discussions with repeated efforts to insult others; maybe some counciling would be of benefit. I'm here to Discuss problems, kinks, bugs, issues and to seek SOLUTIONS.
    But, to reply anyhow: Re: Was I  suggesting that iPhoto Buddy is unaware of the numbering of iPhoto versions?
    No. I was responding to the superfluous,
    issue you brought up suggesting that the product was not compatible with the current version of IPhoto and/or OS 10.7.3.
    I don't know where you got that idea -- not from anything I posted.
    And I, oibviously (D'uh!) was going to use it, had started to use it.
    But you raised that issue and you were wrong in that needless suggestion, taking the topic unnecessarily
    down a dead-end street of your own imagination; not reality.
    Think about that. It would be, is easy enough to have downloaded the free product and see
    if it works or not -- but you start with disparagement and ill-will.
    Thus, to responding to that false, uncalled for, useless and worthless tangent --- I was suggesting that maybe YOU were unaware of the numbering of iPhoto versions.
    Or you picked up wrong info -- or you hadn't had hands on experience with the free program which would show it obviously worked.
    After responding to that unnecessary dispersion we get to the actual feature of Password protection. You noticed it works.
    You then notice there was a way around it. Hilarious!
    Hard to believe you left your 'secret' pictures folder in the Pictures folder.
    My 'secret photo library' (of my old,previous Fat Pics) is hidden deep away in the bowels of the Finder with a deceptive name (i.e., not called "Embaressing Fat Pics). This has to be done when first setting up the Library.
    And I'll be sure not to tell you where it is.
    And try to keep a civil tongue in your mouth.
    If you want to engange in pre-teen forum hostility, maybe get into gaming. But if you want to help others solve problems, maybe adjust your attitude.

  • Password protect individual movies to prevent viewing?

    Hello.
    I am wondering if there is a way to password protect individual files on the iphone either before or after they sync from iTunes to the phone itself. The reason I ask is that my daughter occasionally watches films on my iPhone and I would like to have her be able to access the Disney movies, but not something that was R-rated. Can this be done? If so, how?
    I know you can put a security code on the entire phone, but wasn't sure if you could do it with certain files. Basically, I want to implement some sort of parental controls.
    Thanks for the advice.

    Sorry. The iPhone does not offer parental controls.

  • Password protect photo's on Mac Air

    Can i password protect all my photo's on my Air so that in order to view iphoto, a password has to be entered?
    Thank you,

    Not directly. Remember, your computer's account itself is passworded and you can use System Preferences > Security to set a password on sleep and screen saver which will require a password to wake up the computer or stop the screen saver. If that doesn't suffice then your other option is to place your picture library in an encrypted disk image using Disk Utility. After doing this you'll have to delete the original iPhoto library and then always remember to mount the disk image before starting iPhoto. (Which is something of a pain.) The first option should suffice.

  • Just synced my 3GS and loaded new 5.0. my apps which were password protected photos and another for credit card info did not transfer back to phone. Where are they?

    Just synched my 3GS and loaded 5.0. My photo vault and credit card vault secure apps are gone. Any idea how to recover or where they might be?

    If for some reason you failed to transfer them to your computer before updating, then you would have to redownload them.
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • Is it possible to password protect Movies in the new Web Gallery?

    I have loaded several iPhoto albums onto my new Web Gallery - and I can password protect each using a different name and password for various friends and family. This is great as they each then have their own privacy. Some I have left open to view by everyone. BUT, I would like to password protect some movies from iMOvie '08. Can this be done for the movies as per the photo albums - and how? If yes - can it also be done for movies already published or will they have to be re-published?
    thanks

    The best I can figure out is that if you post your movie, but do not select the option to "Show project on Web Gallery home page," the video will not show on your home page for random visitors, but you can send the direct link to your video to whomever you want by copying it from the confirmation page after the video uploads. Not perfect, but the only option I see right now.

    Iphoto is easy to protect. How do you password protect your movies in webgallery? The help menu is not very clear

  • Password Protect Libraries? on Aperture. on iCloud. with PhotoStream?

    Question: How?
    How to password protect photo libraries....
    On Aperture.
    On iCloud
    With PhotoStream.
    (and iPhoto)
    Any knowledge about this?
    Extranous note: I DO read manuals but now got abut 3,333 pages of manuals for varrious programs yet to read and keep getting dizzy, dizzy with it all.
    Extra Extranous comments: I got a pic of myself eating 15 pounds of potatoes and I want to keep it as The Before in my Before and After Diet Manual...but don't want my wife looking at it again and don't want it to suddenly got Photo Streaming and wind up on iCloud and next thing you know it's viral and folks are launging at me on Leno....uknow the tragic consequences that could ensue.

    You can't password protect an Aperture or iPhoto library. iCloud and photostream (really the same thing)  don;t contain libraries they contain individual images in a stream. The stream is protected by your apple id just as your system is protected by your login password.
    If you give access to your account to others they will be able to access whatever you can access.
    You can do some things to the libraries such as encrypting them or else turning on filevault.

    Did you try Parental Controls?

    See if that does the trick: I think there's a way for you to request a password for purchases, but still be logged in.
