Password protection

I can't seem to find a way to password protect either a document in Pages or a spreadsheet in Numbers. Any help would be appreciated (I am brand new to iWork). Thanks.

You're welcome. In case you don't know, the app for creating a disk image is 'Disk Utility.app' in the Applications > Utilities folder. Click the Add New Image icon to get this dialog:
You will get an option to keep your password on the Keychain. If you opt for this, there will be no protection to keep someone using your account from accessing the file. On the other hand this is a great convenience if you are confident about account access security and perhaps are only worried about the security on a flash drive file when it's out of the machine.

How can I protect my data in numbers from unintentional user of my iPad by other family members? In other words, how can I password protect my numbers and other apps from apple computer company?

I have other members of my family use my iPad for educational/recreational use, young children who may want to play kid games. I don't want them to accdently get into my data stored in the three business apps from apple. I would like to password protect these files.
I would also like to log out of the email systems that I use, so some one else can use this device to access their own emails. By leaving my accounts open al the time, is really asking for trouble from a host of sources.
I can't believe that the iPad is not designed to protect the privacy and data from prying eyes ... Un intuitional as it may be.
Please fix this issue so I create my info on this device and enjoy it fully. Or tell me how I can protect my data.
Thnax.

Thanx for your response. Any data stored anywhere should be able to be protected from stealing, malicious destruction or unintentional destruction. Theo ad an be stolen and without any kind ofpassword protection, the thief could get into your sensitive data.
If Apple wants iPad to become a business tool that can be used with ideas, thots, data protected, then Apple needs to provide this protection to it's customers. Now it's unto the users to use it or not.
I know iPad is being considered to be used by doctors, and can u imagine the confidentiality requirements of HIPPA rules... It will make this device not usable without data protection. I am sureweall have heard about hacking going on at all levels. It's surprising that this device's software is left unprotected.
My iPad may be sitting on my desk and my 3 year old grand daughter would pick it up and start "playing" with it. That means I can't store anything on this machine that may possibly be changed.
I have discussed this with specialists in apple stores, and those who have been around info technology understand my concerns and they may forward this request further up. They do not have the answer for it..... So far.
I think data security should be everyone's concern... Be it a one person device or multiple user device.
I hope that some responsible people at Apple would read this and provide the protection that will make this device lot more acceptable in the business world.

I want to use wifi for Apple TV, but it doesn't prompt for a password, so never connects. What am I missing? Can I only use it via a non-password-protected wifi connection?

Hi - you might want to post this question on the Apple TV area - you would probably get a quicker response - if you have a specific question relating to Apple routers then post back here

Is there a way to create a password protected folder for pictures or lock the photos app? For Ipad Air and Iphone 5s.

Use 3rd party apps like Photo Manager Pro.

I can no longer access a password protected Numbers file with the correct password. Error message only says the file "cannot be opened."

I'm using Numbers version 3.2.2.
Suddenly I cannot access my password protected Numbers file with the correct password. I have the correct password written down so I know I haven't made a mistake.
The response box that pops up says that the file cannot be opened. There are no other options for me to choose from.

Also, I tried to open it through an older version of Numbers but it sent this error message.

My child accidentally rented a movie on Apple TV. Is there a way to refund the rental if we don't watch it? How can I prevent this from happening? Is there a way to password protect future purchases?

Did you try Parental Controls?
Apple TV: Understanding Restrictions (parental controls) - Apple Support
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.

Can I configure an external drive to be password protected or do I need to buy an external hard drive already password enabled

I asked at a Hong Kong apple shop if they had password protected external drives. They didn't, I bought one anyway.
I'm wondering can I configure this drive. If yes, what do I need to do?

This looks like the easiest and most direct method and since it uses Disk Utility it would work on any OS.

I have a document that in Word required a password to open. I copied and pasted it to Pages. Put the password protection on. Now if I click on that filename in Finder it automatically opens.Why. Anyone can read it. How do I protect it again?

You saved it after setting the Password? :
Inspector > Document > Document > Require Password to Open
I just tested it and it shows up ijn The Finder with a padlock on the file icon and does require a password to open.

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.

Saving to a folder that is password protected

I've got a script that saves artwork to a public folder but I also need a script that saves the artwork to a folder that is password protected. The username and password is something I would need illustrator to be able to type in before saving is there an option for that? I can't find anything on this anywhere so I'm not sure that it is even a possibility.

Silly-V's suggestion is viable but could even be expanded to monitoring the interim folder in the background and moving them immediately. It may be better, however, to address the core need rather than treat symptoms. Not trying to be funny here, but who is saving the artwork if everyone's at a meeting anyway? Nonetheless, I work on this kind of thing all the time but need some more background. Given the possible sensitive nature of your setup, feel free to PM me if you would like and we'll see what we can do. Once resolved, if possible, you can elaborate publicly on the remedy if you'd like for the benefit of the community.

How do you password protect web gallery

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

The best I can figure out is that if you post your movie to the Gallery, 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. When the movie is done posting, you can send the direct link of 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.

I have created a PDF and password protected it for view. However, when reading the PDF in Adobe Reader app on the iPad the commenting and annotation options are not available. Is there a way to allow commenting and annotation in the app while password pro

I have created a PDF and password protected it for view. However, when reading the PDF in Adobe Reader app on the iPad the commenting and annotation options are not available. Is there a way to allow commenting and annotation in the app while password protecting the document?

Is there a setting that needs to be set to allow the annotation features? I set password protection to open and then password for editing and set it to Any except page extraction, but it still did not give the annotation option

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!
Ross

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

Does pages encrypt password-protected documents?

I would like to protect a document against reading its contents by others. Therefore I would like to know whether Pages encrypts a document when you set a password on it. I tried to look at the contents of a .pages file, but even when it is not encrypted I could not find back the text in clear form. So is the document always encrypted anyway? If encryption is used, how strong is it?
Observation: an encrypted document of 65k shrinks to 24k when you set a password on it. When you then remove the password it is 49k. Very puzzling...

Thanks for taking the time to write again, Peter. I don't think I will take it to Apple Care, it would probably take a lot of time and trouble to get an answer, if at all. Instead, I will just assume that, if there had been encryption, that would have been a feature worth mentioning in the user documentation. And since the user manual and help pages do not mention it at all, just password protection, the most likely answer is that there is no encryption.
I will assume that you are right with your suggested proprietary file layout, possibly in combination with compression. For serious business, I will encrypt the file using a separate tool.
BFN,
Jan

Remove the cwallet.sso file and check the wallet status in v$encryption_wallet.
If it is not opened, try to open it with administer key statement.
Check the status again.

After updating on my mac - I cannot open various password protected pages - like my WordPress site. I can open them from Safari and from Firefox on my windows pc.

after updating firefox , it won't allow input of password on various sites - like my wordpress admin page. I can access this page from safari and from firefox on my windows pc.

I cannot open password protected WordPress pages using Firefox. They open using IE
If I remove the password protection the page opens correctly in FF.
I have cleared the FF cache and cookies several times, No change
I have modified the wp-pass.php file several suggested ways related to the referrer and nothing solves the issue.
I tried:
wp_safe_redirect(wp_get_referer());
to
wp_safe_redirect(wp_get_referer() . '?');
NO GOOD
I tried:<br />
<br />
<pre><nowiki>$location = wp_get_referer();
if ( $location == '' )
$location = './';
wp_redirect($location, $status = 302);
</nowiki></pre>
NO GOOD
I have upgraded WordPress to 3.3.1. Still NO GOOD
I have deactivated, and also removed all plug-ins. Still NO GOOD.
Anyone have any ideas?
Why just an FF issue?
IE no problems
