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 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.

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.

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.

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.

In anticipating upgrading to Premiere Elements 13, I need to know what "gotchas" there might be in loading project files from version 10 (in case someone needs another DVD/Blu-Ray)

Particularly, can I load project files from version 10 (in case someone needs another DVD/Blu-Ray)

cbjameson
What computer operating system is involved?
There is no guarantee that a project created in an earlier version can be opened in a later one. Many times it can, but...
If you do try this, then please consider working from a copy of the project 10 project file and then trying to open that in 13/13.1.
Reason: projects created in an earlier version and then opened and edited in a later version cannot be opened again in the
earlier version.
And, there is always the issue of maintaining the connect of the source media with the project file. Is this move from 10 to 13/13.1
happening on the same computer and are the source media in the same place where they were when they were first imported
into the 10 project. Disc menus consideration may enter into this depending on your details.

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.
Issue
When you use the Type Tool, you receive the following error:

AdobeFnt_OSFonts.lst
Empty the Recycle Bin.
Restart Photoshop.

Additional information
This issue can occur after you uninstall and reinstall Photoshop several times.

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.

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.

Is their way to prevent a form data from being lost when a validation fails

Is their way to prevent a form data from being lost when a validation fails?

So I would use APEX_COLLECTION (there is some information in APEX documentation).
Read all data you need to keep after submit and save them to your collection. Then, if validation fails, show report with data not from base, but from your collection. You have to create process, which creates collection, and you need to modify your report definition to get data not only from DB but also from collection.
If you have any questions feel free to ask.

Restrict .EXE files from being uploaded

Hi,
Can we restrict .EXE files from being uploaded to Business Partner Attachments.
In our project we have a set of extensions that can be uploaded to the Business partner attachments, Can someone explain me how to restrict this.
Thanks in advance,
Karunakar.K

There is technology known as RMS which you could set series of policies like only members in the company could access certain documents and if someone copy them and attempt to run them in another PC or outside company, it won't work. Take a look at:

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.
