Prevent some iTunes files from being shared

I want some of iTunes files not to be shared.
What I have tried:
- create a playlist and in preferences instead of share entire library select everything except that playlist. Files in that playlist are accessible anyway over share.
- exclude entire playlist, lets say Music Videos - this works, but this is not what i want to achieve.
Additionally I found that Smart Play Lists as well as Playlists exclusion from sharing does not work.
iTunes 10.2.2 (12)
Could anyone try is it working on your iTunes?

Thank you for pointing me to the home sharing.
This one was turned off in my Macs. However, I enabled it now for apps and it seams it is quite useful feature and not only as a backup.
Do you know if I update apps on one of iTunes home shares it will be automatically updated on another ones, or it synchronizes the new purchases/apps only?
Never the less, this does not answer to my question. Sorry for my English, I know she is poor
what I want from iTunes at the moment.
Let's say I have some movies in my iTunes library. This library is shared (regular share) and can be accessed by other family members from their devices (to stream music/video from my iTunes library on Mac to their devices without having to download it). However, I prefer my kids to not have access (and in this case no one to have access via iTunes share) to some of i.e. movies I have in my iTunes library.
Question: Is it possible to prevent iTunes to share only some files in my library having the rest of the library shared?
UPDATE: suddenly the share exception started to work. After clicking on a file that is excluded from my shares the message "You are not authorized to open this file" appears.
Than you ed for your time.

  • Is there a way to prevent a PDF file from being forwarded?

    is there a way to prevent a PDF file from being forwarded? For example, im a personal trainer and if i send a client a plan via PDF file, i want to make sure that they cannot send it to anyone else. I read about how you can secure a file by creating an ID and then having the recipient create an ID as well, but i would like to make the orocess as easy as possible for my clients and not have to have them create an ID and then send it to me. is there a better way to block the recipient from resending the PDF?

    Hi Kiana,
    As such there is no option to prevent the recipients from forwarding the pdf. However you can refer to this blog How do I prevent someone from forwarding a PDF?, it might be of some help.

    How can I prevent a PDF file from being copied, printed or downloaded? Students should only be able to view the text and and not distribute it in any way.

    You can prevent it from being printed by applying a security policy to it
    in Acrobat. The rest can't be prevented, unless you spend  a LOT of money
    on DRM protection.

  • Preventing Premiere Project files from being modified

    I'm creating a batch of Premiere Pro CC Projects for trainees in my work environment to help them learn the application.  I'm trying to lock the project files so they always start out in the same state I left them.  I don't want the students to open the projects, work in them, then accidentally hit "SAVE" before closing out, thereby modifying them, preventing the next student who opens them from having the same clean slate the first one had. 
    I'm working in MAC OSX.  I've tried locking the file in "GET INFO", and I've tried changing Privileges from "read & write" to "read" only for all fields.  This works on the computer on which I created the projects, but the locks and privilege changes are gone when I copy the projects to students machines, email them or otherwise transport them off the original machine.  It's not practical to go to each students machine and manually relock and change privelages there.  These projects have to be distributed to many Macs in many locations. 
    Is there a way to accomplish what I'm describing?  Thanks.

    I don't believe this is possible.  PP doesn't have a lock file feature like Acrobat.  The general assumption is that you're opening the file because you want to make changes.
    The best you might do is to overwrite the closed files with the original at the end of every session.

  • How do I prevent files from being backed up to iCloud and iTunes?

    I have created the ios app using adobe AIR16 and flash cc. After submission of my aap into aapstore, I received a message from Apple with the following message –
    From Apple
    2.23 - Apps must follow the iOS Data Storage Guidelines or they will be rejected.
    By using xcode we can prevent files from being backed up to icloud and itunes, but i want to know that  what is the way to achieve this by using AIR. While creating an explicit app id from apple developer account , i am not enabling icloud support.

    Within AIR you can set the File.preventBackup property to true on a directory or file to prohibit that content from being backed up to the cloud:
    File - Adobe ActionScript® 3 (AS3 ) API Reference
    This is all you need to call when you first create the folder or file to have it work with iOS backup guidelines.

  • Prevent OST file from being excluded from workstation backups

    Is there a way to prevent OST files from being excluded from client/workstation backups in WS2012E?
    Thanks,
    Reg
    This is especially a problem for clients that have migrated to Office 365 exchange service as they have no local backup of emails that were deleted and think synced with Office 365.
    Reginald Hook

    OST files are not a local backup, they are a cache of what is in the mailbox.

  • How to protect my jar file from being downloaded

    How can i protect my jar file from being downloaded by users by accessing it through the web site.
    Now everybody can just type the url www.mysite.com/applets/myApplet.jar
    And download it to his computer.
    I realize that anybody who really wants to download it he will get it anyway, but I want to make it harder.
    thanks in advance

    Your browser has to download the jar file if it's going to run the applet. That's applets work. The browser downloads the classes and then runs them locally.
    I suppose if you wanted to make something to make it difficult for users to explicitly download the jar, you could set some kind of permission flag when the HTML is page is rendered, and then unset it some amount of time (10 seconds?) later, and then only let the user download the jar when the flag is set. But this would be fragile and irritating and unhelpful. It would probably break more than you'd like and not prevent download very much (it wouldn't take long to figure out what was happening), and besides nobody is ever going to try to steal your code.

  • How to prevent an encrypted backup from being restored to a different device?

    If I force an employee to do an encrypted backup (which I can do with a configuration profile), and that employee is fired. We take back the company iphone, but they go and buy a personal one. They connect the new, personal iphone to itunes and do a restore of the encrypted backup (they know the password) and now they have all the work related stuff on their personal phones. Is there a way to prevent an encrypted back from being restored to a different device id.

    We require encryption of our employee backups as well...and the problem you mention is a real one.....
     If you use Exchange, you could disable Exchange Active Sync to prevent them from subsequently connecting to Exchange Server and getting new data with the new personal device....but you would still have the old data as part of the backup...the other issue is that we've found that the profile is part of the backup and if an employee leaves, even on good terms, if he wants to restore say, his music from the backup without the profile, it becomes quite awkward...the profile would have to be removed, ( which removes everything added with the profile, possible email and wi-fi), then the user could backup music etc  with iTunes, then return the corporate phone to be salvaged or re-deployed...and later put his personal data back on another device without the profile...if there is a way around the issue you bring up I'd like to know of it as well. .  Perhaps there is an MDM with functionality that would help here....that is one great strength of the Blackberry platform..all corporate data can be controlled from the BES server. 

  • Photoshop CC 2014 - "Could not complete your request because something prevented the text engine from being initialised".

    This problem has just started, only with CC 2014. It doesn't happen with CC or CS6.
    When I open a particular layered file, then Duplicate it, then close the original Master file I get the "text engine" warning box when I try to enter text in the copy file.
    If I enter text in the original Master file - no problem.
    If the Master file is still open and I try to enter text in the copy file  - no problem.
    I've validated all my fonts in Font Book, deleting all the duplicates and one corrupt font. No change to problem.
    I've gone to User/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CC2014/ and trashed the CT Font Cache folder. No change to problem.
    I've run PS Update.
    Running OS 10.9.3.
    Any suggestions?

    I'm having the same issue on my work computer. I found this info in Adobe's help section.

  • Transfer iTunes files from old MacBook to new MacBook Pro

    How do I transfer just my iTunes files from a MacBook to my new MacBook Pro?

    The best bet is for you to transfer your iTunes library to the new Mac with the Migration Assistant. When you first fire up a Mac and it asks if you want to move your data, that’s one chance, but you can also set up the new Mac as pristinely new and use Migration Assistant later. Just launch it from the Utilities folder and tell it what you want to do—you can transfer your library over Wi-Fi, but if both Macs have a FireWire port, it’s much faster to connect them that way and use Target Disk Mode. (Start up the old Mac holding down T, which mounts it as an external drive on the new Mac for Migration Assistant to mine—but Migration Assistant walks you through the whole process.) Migration Assistant doesn’t have a setting specifically for iTunes, but if you migrate your user account’s Music folder, that’ll contain both your media and your library database, which stores those preferences you want to transfer.
    Migrate your Music folder to your new Mac. (Which we obviously can’t do here because the MacBook Air is a few hundred gigs light…)
    If you’d rather do it manually, first move the files in your home folder’s Music/iTunes/iTunes Media folder from the old Mac to the same location on the new Mac. Then export the iTunes Library database from your old Mac—go to File > Library > Export Library. Move the resulting XML file to the new Mac. Open iTunes, choose File > Library > Import Playlist and select that XML file.
    Why not use Home Sharing within iTunes, you may wonder? I found out the hard way when recently combining songs from multiple laptops and external drives into one, new, started-from-scratch mega-library on my new iMac: Home Sharing is great for actually moving music, videos, and apps from one machine to another over the network, but it doesn’t move the metadata. My ratings and play counts were wiped out.

  • Error: prevented the text engine from being initialized

    I am getting the following error when attempting to use the text tool with my photoshop (12.0) - windows 7.
    "could not complete your request because something prevented the text engine from being initialized"
    I've attempted to follow some posts from others to fix without success.
    There are two fonts in my fonts folder that are shortcuts - and the fonts don't exist in the folder. Also, I can't delete the shortcut font from the fonts folder.
    (I'm posting this now... and might have a solution. Just in case, I want this conversation started.)
    TIA,
    Greg

    Usually that means that you have a corrupt font or a corrupt OS font cache.
    See this document for more troubleshooting steps: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/troubleshoot-fonts-photoshop-cs5.html
    Also, make sure you have all the Photoshop updates installed.

  • How to stop files from being locked in Mountain Lion?

    In the last week, I have found several of the files that I have generated or downloaded have become locked.  Since Apple has eliminated the Auto locking feature that use to be in Time Machine.  The files include PDFs, PHGs, TXTs, etc.  How do I stop files from being locked?  How do I unlock the ones that are locked?  I can not emtpy my Trash. 

    When I went to "Get Info" on one of the locked files [a TXT file] per your steps, I noticed that the there was a Locked box checked.  I unchecked that box and was then able to remove the files from Trash without any further action. 
    Do you know why it got locked in the first place since Mountain Lion does not automatically lock files as the older OS X version did?  Do you know how to prevent it from happening again?
    I want to thank you for your suggestion.

  • Protecting swf files from being decompiled

    At the end of the day, our flex apps are deployed as swf
    files which have the potential to be decomplied and thereby our
    intellectual properties lost. There are tools in the market which
    claim to secure the swf files from being decompiled. Are these
    tools live up to their claims? Is it worthwhile to spend money on
    these tools? Would the protected swf become harder to deployed? Any
    good products already available in this line? Please point out
    some. Thx.

    Most of the tools I have seen are geared towards extracting
    resources from swf's. I use one myself (eltima.com) for
    "harvesting" manufacturers content for my motorcycle dealers. They
    are authorized to use this content, but finding someone at Yamaha
    of Kawasaki or any of the majors who even knows where to find these
    resources is next to impossible. I have also used it to learn from
    by viewing scripts, but as you say, at the end of the day, I think
    the concepts and best practices are about the only thing worth
    taking away from others efforts, not the code.
    Unlocking a protected file can be done as well and I remember
    using a product over a year ago to get at the scripts within an swf
    (I wanted the URL's that pointed to media - it was legal for me to
    do this). It ran from the command line and output the scripts.
    There aren't too many of these types of programs to be found, but
    they exist.
    My personal opinion is that it's not worth the effort. My
    java classes can be decompiled and if someone wants to go to that
    trouble, more power to them. To my knowledge, there isn't anything
    out there yet that is perfect for backwards engineering an swf into
    an MXML file, but a competitor of FLASH Decompiler says that they
    can decompile Adobe 9 PLAYER swf's. For what it's worth, I plan on
    posting the majority of my code on my flexdev.org site once I get
    it established.
    For people who make components for sale, this could be an
    issue of stolen revenue if the decompilers get sophisticated enough
    to reverse engineer the swc into a usable MXML file. I would be
    against anyone who stole code for this purpose, for sure.

  • Prevent apps and icons from being rearranged or deleted?

    Is there a way to prevent apps and icons from being rearranged or deleted?
    My three year old son likes to move them around and delete them. I don't want to lock him out because he loves to play many of the learning apps and games.

    I use different screens for my apps. My 6yo son has his own page with folders for games, education, and books. That is the default page, in case for some reason he's the one to turn on the phone it goes straight to that. The next page is default apps. Can't harm them. Then I've got some test apps, that I haven't decided if I'll keep them. Then there's a few games my DH plays. The last page is mine, with those things I don't want my son messing with. He knows its there and he knows he can't mess with them.
    My son is older than yours, but if you aren't going to be watching him the entire time he's got your phone, that may be the best way to go. And make sure he knows what he can and can't do on the phone. If he can't understand that, he will probably need to be supervised the whole time. No locking features that I have found, and I've looked!
    Good luck!
