Stop Images from being downloaded?

I'm wondering if there is a way to stop your images from
being downloaded off your website without using Flash.
Is there another way?
Thanks

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 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.

Safari restrictions don't stop images from being seen

When I enable restrictions on my child's iphone for Safari and only certain websites are allowed, my child can still search a subject and then hit images and it will pull up images. Completely defeats the purpose. If I don't want my child reading about a certain topic, I definitely do not want them to see the topic.

If you dock the panels on the right (layers,etc) like the toolbox is docked that will stop the image from going under the panels.
Just grab the top of the panels (red box in screenshot) and move to the right until you see a blue line, then release.

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.

Can I Stop my Images from being Copied from my Web Pages

On some websites I visit, it prevents you from right clicking on the image and saving it. A message pops up saying the image cannot be copied.
Would any of you kind folk know of a way I can stop my images from being saved from my Dreamweaver web pages?
Many thanks in advance for your anticipated help!

I asked a question. Hans was kind enough to give me a solution, and for that I thank him! I have also learned a little more in the process!
We have already established that the solution stops people right clicking on an image and saving the image (be it in Windows Explorer or not), but it has also been established that it is by no means a fool proof way of protecting images and that there are other ways of copying images from a webpage. However, it is another level of protection.
Unfortunately, I do not want to watermark my images as I do not like looking as watermarked images myself. I also downsize my images for the web. I was just looking for another level of protection.
Thanks for the input anyway!

Do you not want a backup of the iTunes content on your computer in the event the iPad is lost, stolen, or simply fails?

Protect child SWF from being downloaded

Hi, I've been struggling with this for a while and i cannot
find how to do this....
I have a main Flex app (main.swf) that load other pieces of
content (content.swf, content2.jpg, etc...). I want those pieces of
contents to be accessible only by using main.swf. I've tried to put
my content outside the web root and access it in main.swf using an
image container with the source :
http://www.server.com/file?content.swf&key=secret,
but anyone can access this string and download content.swf.
So, how can i protect content.swf from being downloaded...
Note that i cannot embed content.swf, content2.jpg, etc... since
there will be too many files...
Any help would be appreciated

I'm going to throw this out there and say, simply, that you
can't. Just the fact that someone is viewing the content means
that's it's already downloaded to their system, albeit buried in a
temp folder somewhere.
I think instead of stopping someone from downloading it, you
could find a way to stop it from working once it's separated from
the web server it's currently deployed on.
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, of course...

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 can I prevent my images from being copied?

This is a perennial question, but the simple answer is that you can't. It's impossible.
Don't believe snake oil adverts for products that claim to prevent images from being copied. Once an image is displayed on a computer, there are numerous ways of copying it. "Solutions" that prevent users from right-clicking or pressing Print Screen can be disabled by turning off JavaScript in the browser; and screen grabbing software can easily make a copy of an image.
If you want to show your photography on the web, but don't want others to steal your images, consider the following options:
Add a watermark to your images.
Embed copyright information in the metadata of your images.
Save images at low resolution (72dpi is standard on the web, but useless for printing).
The following image uses all three techniques:
You can create a Photoshop action to watermark images. Use the File Info dialog box in Bridge CS4 to add copyright metadata to your images.

Stopping HD from being accessed

I've had to return my G5 iSight to the dealer for repairs. There is a lot of personal data on one of the partitions on the internal drive and to stop access to that partition, I set up an account for the dealer to use, and as well, I stopped it from being visible on the dealer's desktop by allowing only the Administrator (me) access to the disk.
That worked well. But I thought I'd try to erase the partition from within the dealer's account by using Disk Utility. Sure enough, the partition appeared and Disk Utility seemed to allow me to erase it.
How can I lock a partition so that it is password protected and nothing can be done to it from within a dealer's account?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions

There's very little you can do to prevent access to that partition as a whole. You can't even rely on your login password, since that can be reset by anyone with a system disk. What I would advise is to keep all sensitive data in an encrypted file of some sort. Encrypted disk images work beautifully for this purpose. I have one that contains all my passwords, account numbers, financial information, etc. The password is long and is not remembered in any keychain.
If the disk image option doesn't work for you, there are all kinds of commercial and non-commercial encryption options. Just search somewhere like MacUpdate or VersionTracker.

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.
