A way to prevent photos from being downloaded?

I remember seeing an option one time about allowing people to download images on your site that you created using iweb but I never messed around with it. So is there a way to do something that would prevent people from taking your photos? I am asking because I do photography work. There are a lot of sites out there that won't allow you to right click your mouse and snag the photo. Just wondering if iWeb offered anything like that.

The only thing iWeb offers in that regard is, if your photos are on a Photos template page, you can set the "Photo Download Size" to "None" in iWeb's Inspector > Photos tab:
...Then the Download button won't appear. But iWeb doesn't prevent right-click downloading.

HT204022 Can I prevent photos from being deleted accidentally?

Sometimes my kids will delete photos from photo stream, is there a way to lock them so I can save them first?

There's no way to lock them. One precaution is to save a copy to your camera roll (tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll). Once in the camera roll, you can import them to your computer (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083).

Does Mac Mail's "Quick Look URL" option for links prevent software from being downloaded onto my computer?

I received an e-mail from a friend that had a suspicious looking link embedded in it. I did not navigate to the link in my web browser but I did do a "quick look" in Mac Mail. Does this open me up to any vulnerability? If so, is there a way to check to see if any malicious software and/or viruses were downloaded onto my MacBook?
Thanks!

Hi Dave,
Welcome to the Discussions.
It's possible (more likely the drive is dead) that the drive's directory is damaged. If that's the case, Disk Warrior may be able to fix it. At $80US for Disk Warrior, I'd be more inclined to replace the drive. If your patient and can wield a few small tools, you can replace it yourself.

Preventing images from being downloaded

Go here:
http://www.funkylala.com/main.htm
and try to right-click on any image in the lower frame. In IE for
Windows you get a box that says "For image use, please contact
Funky LaLa". On a mac the right click or control click won't work.
How did they do that?

Java != javascript.

Prevent movies from being downloaded twice (720p and 1080p)

I noticed that iTunes downloaded each of my purchased movies twice. I guess it's the 720p version and the 1080p version.
Anyways as my SSD is getting full I'm wondering if there is a way to just download the 1080p version. I don't feel like deleting the second download every time I buy a movie.

Well the problem is that every movie gets downloaded twice. See the attached screenshots ...

How do I protect an image from being downloaded?

I want to be in a position to prevent images from being downloaded from a muse site. Is this possible?
David

Widgets are available from a couple different sources that disable right-click mouse functions on a web page. That prevents someone from right clicking an image and choosing "save image" options. Unfortunately nothing can prevent someone from grabbing a web page image using other methods, like taking screen shots or hacking the web browser's cache.
Other alternatives:
• Watermark your images using visible and/or invisible methods.
• Limit the resolution and quality levels of the images you upload.
• Bake other visual elements or user interface elements into the images, making visitor saved images either incomplete or just screwed up. They don't get a pristine image to try selling off to some stock photography company.

What HTTP caching headers will prevent iPhoto from re-downloading each image in a "Photo Feed" every time it checks the feed for new content?

I've noticed a practical issue with iPhoto's File->"Subscribe to Photo Feed..." feature.
Every time that iPhoto checks a subscribed RSS Photo Feed for new content it will re-download each and every photo in the feed. This occurs even if iPhoto has already downloaded each image, they all have unique GUIDs set, and no content in the feed has changed since the last time it polled for it.
My best guess is that this happens if the server offering the feed does not produce the proper cache-control parameters in the HTTP Headers that are sent by the server when the RSS feed is accessed by iPhoto.
Does anyone know what parameter/value pairs need to be set in the HTTP headers to prevent iPhoto from re-downloading RSS enclosures that it already has?
This is a very practical problem for feeds with a large number of photos of large file size. Besides the obvious massive waste of bandwidth, the user receives an annoying error whenever they try to quit iPhoto before the feed and all of it's images have been re-downloaded yet again.

Here is an example of the HTTP headers for two of the images in the feed.
Any red flags in there that you think might be causing iPhoto to think it needs to re-download the images after it's already downloaded them once?

Can I maually check for updates but prevent them from being automatically installed if it turns out one is available?

Can I maually check for updates but prevent them from being automatically installed if it turns out one is available?
Background:
In options I have "check for updates, but let me choose whether to install them" ticked. This works fine, in that I periodically receive a notice of an available update, and it will ask me whether I want to I want to install it.
But there are certain times -- for reasons I won't go into here (unless requested as part of seeking a solution) -- where I want to manually check for new versions, but RETAIN the ability to decide whether or not to install it. But if I click Help/About Firefox/Check for Updates, and it finds an update, it will immediately proceed to install it without asking for permission. While that seems quite inconsistent with my update preferences in Options, it is apparently normal behavior as described in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/update-firefox-latest-version#w_how-do-i-manually-check-for-updates.
So is there any way I can manually check for new-update availability but then refuse the update if I so choose? Once an unwanted install begins, I'm concerned that if I click cancel I could end up with a partial installation or some "messed up," duplicated or corrupted FF files (e.g., multiple versions appended with (1), (2) etc, similar to what sometimes confusingly happens when I do an XP System Restore).
Thanks.

I think what needs to be made very clear here is that when a user clicks on "check for updates" the software should bloody well CHECK for updates and most certainly SHOULD NOT proceed to download and apply any updates. this is misleading and intrusive.
I just wanted to check if there was an updated version but I DID NOT want to actually update at that moment. the software downloaded data, costing me money and tried to apply the update which could have potentially messed up my settings if I had not checked everything was ok first.
I actually discovered how to prevent the update by searching through windows and manually deleting the files but why should anyone have to go to such lengths?
the software should simply do as it is asked, not do things that have most certainly not been asked.

How do i prevent history from being cleared? prevent privacy browsing?

How do I prevent privacy browsing and/ or prevent history from being deleted from son's computer?

Note that removing or disabling "Private Browsing" will not make it impossible to delete private data like visited websites (history) or cache.
There are a lot of ways to clear such data, either via [[Clear Recent History]] or directly by deleting the History in the Library or sidebar.
Private Browsing makes it easier because all data is kept in memory and nothing is saved to disk, so nothing needs to be removed.
If you want to see which sites have been visited then you should look at others means outside Firefox like a router or firewall with a password protected logging feature that can't be bypassed or a program like [http://www.wireshark.org/download.html Wireshark].

Can I prevent history from being cleared to help keep tabs on my teenagers?

I want to find out if I can prevent history from being cleared.
Also, I want to find out if the "Forget about this site" can be disabled.
I'm running Firefox 4

It's a much discussed topic. If you really don't want cookies stored, Firefox does a better job for surfing the net.

Good to have a backup browser installed regardless in case you have problems with Safari.

Prevent JNLP from being cached in the Java Web Start cache

Hi,
when i launch a JNLP it's always being cached in the Java Web Start cache. Is there a way to prevent it from being cached? Some attribute/property inside it?
Thanks!

Set the http headers in the response from the server when the client downloads the jnlp file.
eg Cache-control no-cache
Expires (use same date as "date" header)
Note that over SSL on Internet Explorer 8 this will not work. All other configurations should be ok.

How do I protect images from being downloaded in Muse?

When creating a slideshow in Muse, how can I protect the images from being downloaded?

Essentially, you can't.
If something is available online to view, it can also be downloaded and there is little you can do to actually stop it.
There are scripts that you can add to your site to disable "right click > save image" BUT someone who really wants the image can get around this using a variety of ways, including creen caps and looking at your code to determine the source where is image is hosted on your server.
The best that you can do it watermark the images clearly and also imbed data into the image file. It won't stop anyone taking the images, but it clearly tracks the fact that you're the copyright owner. Do take note though, that someone who understands about this, can also remove these bits of data - but your average user wouldn't either know about it, or know how to remove it. This, however is one of the best ways to 'stamp' your ownership to an image.

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 swf files being downloaded

People,
I'm a teacher and I have some animations made in flash language (swf). I would like to publish these animations on my web site so my students could see, but I wonder if there is any way to prevent these animations being downloaded.
Example: when I see an animation published on my web site, this animation is stored in Internet Temporary Files and I can save this animation anywhere. How can I prevent an animation is stored in the temporary folder? In other words, this animation can only be seen if the user is logged on the site.
Urgent!!!
Thanks.
Alyson

I think that's what I want. I found a site that has exactly what I need. It
is done this way too?
Plese take a look at http://www.edumedia-sciences.com/en/a559-scintigraphy

You could implement a kind of time-barrier, like in the trial versions you
download from softwarecompanys.
For the most users, that are not understanding actionscript and know how to
read the code, even if they decompile it, that would prevent the swf being
played after a certain date that you would have to implement in your code.
In AS2 the code would be like this:
>
var now:Date = new Date(); //reads the user system date
var release:Date = new Date(2009, 11, 16); //here goes the date, when you
want to have the program deactivated
>
if(now <= release){
playSwf(); // here goes your normal code
>
else{
doNothing();
>
Like the most TimeBarriers this could be easily circumvented if the user
sets back his system date, so do not give a message like "You trial period
has expired"
