Stor.E Art 3 External Disk - how to apply data protection?

Hi!
I've recently bought Stor.E Art 3 External Disk - mostly becouse there was lines like "Data Encryption" and "Password protected"
So how can I apply these things to External Disk? I imagined, that there will some kind of software, that just asks for password each time I connect HDD to PC...
But there was no other software than NTI Backup Now EZ. Will that Backup software do this thing?
Otherwise its user misinformation :(

Of course I've checked manual :)
I did not installed NTI Backup Now EZ software manly becouse don't want additional mess on my windows XP SP3 system with different backup software.
But I went to their site (NTI) and in product description there was lines only about *Backup encryption*:
http://www.ntibackupnow.com/en/us/product/backup_now_ez.asp
Look, there are description of Stor.E Art 3 External Disk features:
http://news.softpedia.com/news/Toshiba-Reveals-StorE-Art-3-Portable-2-5-inch-HDD-140011.shtml
So I want just what there is wrote down:
"..built-in data encryption and password protection, so that the files stored are not easily accessed and tampered with by individuals with less than honorable reasons".

How can I save the images and movies on a external Disk from iphoto program, to protect the images when problems occur in the laptop,

How can I save the images and movies on a external Disk from iphoto program, to protect the images when problems occur in the laptop,

Most Simple Back Up:
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store
If you want to back up the Photos only:
Export them using the File -> Export command.
This User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
has details of the options in the Export dialogue.

Time Machine - I had to reformat its external disk - how do I start TM again?

MacBook Pro - 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
OS X 10.6.8
Time Machine backups to directly-connected external disk - La Cie 2 TB
I got Time Machine error messages saying it could not complete the backup. I followed advice at the Pondini TM website. I turned TM off. The problem was corruption on the external drive. Disk Utility could not fix it - invalid sibling link. I decided to abandon the existing backups and did disk erase, writing zeros to it. Took two attempts, the second attempt running for 15-odd hours. The disk has got one partition, GUID, Mac OS Extended (Journaled) - this is stuff I don't really understand.
I can't see how to tell Time Machine to forget about the old backups and start up again from scratch on the newly reformatted disk. I can't find this task explicitly covered in the Pondini website.

When you erased the data that was reflected in System Preferences > Time Machine.
Glad your backup is working. You might want to consider adding a clone backup to your drive. Just like a seat belt and an air bag protect you in different ways when driving, you need both Time Machine and a clone for full protection.
Both of these applications can be used to create a clone.

If you installed OS X Mountain Lion (per your signature) to your external drive, you should be able to restart your Mac Mini while pressing/holding the Option/Alt key and selecting the Recovery HD - 10.8.5 in the startup manager. This boots you into the external drive's Recovery System (different than Internet Recovery). From the OS X Utilities Menu, you can use Disk Utility to "clone" both your external Macintosh HD and its Recovery HD to your internal drive.
First, back up your internal drive unless you don't need anything on it.
Restart your Mac Mini into the Recovery System on the external drive using the Option/Alt key and selecting the external drive's Recovery HD.
Select Disk Utility and erase your internal drive's Macintosh HD.
Stay in Disk Utility and select your Macintosh HD on your external drive.
Click the Restore tab. Your external drive's Macintosh HD should be displayed in the Source field.
Click and drag your internal drive's Macintosh HD to the Destination field. Note: This partition needs to be the same size as or greater than the Source.
Click the Restore button. This will block-copy the external drive to your internal drive.
After the restore completes, both your internal and external drive will be labeled the same (e.g. Macintosh HD).
Quit Disk Utility and at the OS X Utilities menu, click on the Apple logo (upper left corner) and select Startup Disk. Select your internal drive and Restart. This will restart your Mac Mini using your internal drive.
Good luck

How to apply Password Protection On attachment send through mail from SAP

Hi All,
I want to apply Password Protection on file send as an attachment from SAP on Email.
I know how to send email from sap with attachment in it. A smartform is coverted to a attachment and send on email.
But how can i apply password protection on it.
Any type of file format will be fine. I just need to know how can i make that file as password protected.
Thanks in advance.

Not folder but file (I do hope you understand the difference). Have you tried to search SDN at all? I don't have much time, but before replying initially I did just a quick search and it brought several posts mentioning the archiving functionality. And I'm sure 'Smartform to PDF' will bring up gozillion posts. Also I find the Google search with addition 'site:sap.com' to be quite helpful.
However, I would still recommend to review the requirements. Why exactly do you need this password protection? If there is a fear that someone other than a recipient might get access to the email account then there is really a bigger security issue in the organization and it should be resolved by some other means. As I have mentioned, password does not really add much protection.
Out of curiosity I briefly looked at the IRM description on the Microsoft's web site and it doesn't seem to be very helpful. First of all, it's the MS software and has to be installed on the user's PC and configured (how do we know the emai recipients are even on Windows?). Also it does say "Prevent an unauthorized recipient from accessing e-mail content", but I didn't quite get how exactly. Is there a retinal scan that comes with it? And the list of things it does not do gives you the whole another perspective on the email security.

MacBook Pro refuses to eject external disk - How do I make this stop?

So I have an issue that's been bugging me for a couple weeks, now (from even before I upgraded to Mountain Lion), that I, really, need a solution to. I have a 1TB external drive divided into 3 partitions. I eject it whenever I wish to remove it from my computer, but, lately, there is 1 partition that, constantly, refuses to be ejected. I get the usual warning in this instance:
The disk [volume name] wasn't ejected because one or more programs may be using it.
I click "Try Again" and it doesn't work. It works with "Force Eject", but I don't want to cause any unnecessary damage to the contents of the drive. The next time it happened, I ran the following in Terminal:
sudo lsof -xf +d "/Volumes/[volume name]"
This told me that the "mds" process was accessing the disk, which means Spotlight was using it. I clicked the "Spotlight" icon in the menu bar and Spotlight didn't appear to be doing anything. I can't quit the "mds" process in Activity Monitor, because the process just starts again. The only thing that worked was logging out, then, logging back in, then, I could, immediately eject the volume.
Of course, the next time I plugged the disk in, the same thing happened.
How do I stop this from happening? How can I stop Spotlight from, constantly, holding this disk captive? I shouldn't have to log out to eject a disk.
Please advise.

Cerebro,
I am in the same boat but I think you could help me and many others by telling us what what in the folders that were keeping your G-Raid or HARD DRIVE from UNMOUNTING?
I can force quit.......and even force quit to get the DiskUtility to treat that like a unmount.....
but in my case I may have installed software from AUTODESK that uses WIRETAPPING on the EXTERNAL DRIVE because that is the AUTHORIZATION method and also the CONTENT method they use to allow me to use their software for FREE as a STUDENT or EDU.
But I tried to kill these processes in the Activity Monitor and it just comes back or creates new numbers..
so I am not sure if that is the culprit...
I had read other culprits....like other 3rd party BACKUP SOFTWARE (not Time MACHINE) that was hanging the computer......
I am wondering why you had APPLE CARE help you and they couldn't even find the solution....
so without you sharing with me even in a private email as you didn't share what the FOLDER was for software.
I would be much appreciated as if this is the similar case then I can contact them and just ask them the workaround if it is not an APPLE thing......
Most POWER USERS that understand MOUNTAIN LION or SNOW LEOPARD and UNIX for that matter know the TERMINAL like a second language...
I wish I did but I don't yet.....
I really need to take a class or just read these ADMINISTRATION BOOKS for APPLE CERTIFICATION to understand such things.....
Please let me know anyone else reading this if you have some good ideas? or IRC CHAT or other FORUMS that strictly deal and discuss APPLE OSX and UNIX PROGRAMMING as well as NETWORKING without the FILE SYSTEM.....most of this is ADMINISTRATION LEVEL or root level knowledge, and should be offered as a MANUAL when you buy the COMPUTER........or at least a FREE PDF instead of having to pay the 50 or 60 dollars for the current flavor of OSX.....
I paid a 3 dollars for SNOW LEOPARD was happy updating school MAC LABS in LAUSD with that knowledge...but now I am MOUNTAIN LION 10.8 so I am wondering is it really worth the upgrade BOOK is that SYSTEM that much DIFFERENT than SNOW LEOPARD? can anyone tell me?
thanks so much
singleton
PS- - my problem is the same I have a G-RAID that will not EJECT unless I FORCE QUIT the DRIVE.....
I can't figure out what is causing it to hang......how should I go about finding out exactly what it is?
thanks

External table: How to load data from a fixed format UTF8 external file

Hi Experts,
I am trying to read data from a fixed format UTF8 external file in to a external table. The file has non-ascii characters, and the presence of the non-ascii characters causes the data to be positioned incorrectly in the external table.
The following is the content's of the file:

20100423094529000000I8 Mobile Crew 8 8 000004
The structure of the data is as follows:
Name Type Start End Length
UPDATE_DTTM CHAR 1 20 20
CHANGE_TYPE_CD CHAR 21 21 1
CREW_CD CHAR 22 37 16
CREW_DESCR CHAR 38 97 60
CREW_ID CHAR 98 113 16
UDF1_CD CHAR 114 143 30
UDF1_DESCR CHAR 144 203 60
UDF2_CD CHAR 204 233 30
DATA_SOURCE_IND CHAR 294 299 6
UDF2_DESCR CHAR 234 293 60
I create the external table as follows:
CREATE TABLE "D_CREW_EXT"
"UPDATE_DTTM" CHAR(20 BYTE),
"CHANGE_TYPE_CD" CHAR(1 BYTE),
"CREW_CD" CHAR(16 BYTE),
"CREW_DESCR" CHAR(60 BYTE),
"CREW_ID" CHAR(16 BYTE),
"UDF1_CD" CHAR(30 BYTE),
"UDF1_DESCR" CHAR(60 BYTE),
"UDF2_CD" CHAR(30 BYTE),
"DATA_SOURCE_IND" CHAR(6 BYTE),
"UDF2_DESCR" CHAR(60 BYTE)

"UDF2_DESCR" POSITION (234:293) CHAR(60) )
) LOCATION ( 'D_CREW_EXT.DAT' )
REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED;
Check the result in database:
select * from D_CREW_EXT;
I found the first row is incorrect. For each non-ascii character,the fields to the right of the non-ascii character are off by 1 character,meaning that the data is moved 1 character to the right.
Then I tried to use the option STRING SIZES ARE IN CHARACTERS instead of STRING SIZES ARE IN BYTES, it doesn't work either.
The database version is 11.1.0.6.

Hi,
I changed the BYTE in the create table part to CHAR, it still doesn't work. The result is the same. I think the problem is in ACCESS PARAMETERS.
Any other suggestion?

How to apply Date condition for each month in 12 month period to my SQL query

I am trying to retrieve all Outstanding Problem tickets in my Trendline SSRS report.
I need to pull the OpenDate <= Last day of last month And CloseDate >= 1st day of current month
for each month in the Last 12 months. How do I accomplish this in my query?
I must also need to pull the oustanding tickets for the next 11 months in the same query
where it will automatically pull the outstanding tickets for when a new month comes
in out of the 12 month period?
Here's a sample of my query to pull July 2013 Outstanding Problem tickets:

Restoring files that were on an external disk

Hi!
Time machines does a backup of my Macbook Pro as well as of an external disk on which I keep multimedia files.
Entering Time Machine, I'm able to retrieve files that were on my external disk no problem as long as the external disk in question is connected to the computer. Then, I'm able to go back in time, and search for files.
However, if the external disk is currently not connected to the computer, then, when I access my Time Machine backup, I do not see this external disk listed (I see only my Macbook Pro folders), even when I go back in time. So I do not seem to be retreive files associated with this external disk.
Is this normal?
What if I loose my external disk, how will I be able to retrive the backup files from my Time Machine backup disk?
Hope this is clear... :-)
Thanks

Since you haven't got any replies so far here is what I would do, but don't know whether it would work. Worth a try.
Connect the external drive and run a manual Time Machine (TM) backup. Disconnect the external drive. Pretend you have lost it
Connect another GUID Mac OS X Extended (Journaled) format hard drive with a partition of the same size as the external drive and rename the partition to the same name as the external.
Can you now see the TM backup of the external drive?

I just purchased an external disk drive to store my pictures. I want to keep the last 12 months of pictures on my iMac and move the rest to the new external drive. As new pictures are added I want them to be put on the iMac internal drive. How?

I just purchased an external disk drive to store my growing number of pictures. I want to keep the last 12 months of pictures on my iMac and move the remaining pictures to the new external drive. As I take more pictures I want them to be put on the iMac internal drive. Every 3 to 6 months I would then move some additional pictures to the external drive. I am nuervous about losing any of the pictures and want to make sure I follow the proper procedure. What is the right way to handle this?
Thanks.

Here's one way to do what you want:
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
Now you have two full versions of the Library.
3. On the Internal library, trash the Events you don't want there
Now you have a full copy of the Library on the External and a smaller subset on the Internal
Some Notes:
As a general rule: when deleting photos do them in batches of about 100 at a time. iPhoto can baulk at trashing large numbers at one go.
You can choose which Library to open: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
You can keep the Library on the external updated with new imports using iPhoto Library Manager

How do I clone an external disk using CCC?

I have a MacBook Air and because it has only 256 GB and I need about three times that space for storing movies, document files etc., I use an external hard disk to keep these files on.
I formatted this disk using Mac Extended Journal but I did not put the Snow Leopard Operating System on it. I just move files from the computer's hard drive to the disk as required.
I had a scare once where the data on another external hard disk was wiped out because of a faulty USB cord. All the movies were lost and I could not recover the data. The disk also failed to mount. This problem kept happening several times. When I got rid of the faulty USB cord, the external disk mounted and I never lost data again. I am certain all the problems were due to the faulty USB cord. I have been using the same external disk ever since and it has been working fine with the non-faulty USB cord so I am sure it didn't have anything to do with the disk and it was the USB cord that was the problem. I used the same faulty USB cord with other external disks and the same problems arose - failure to mount etc.
This is the background for why I want to make a copy of this external drive. I don't want to lose the movies and other data on this disk if something goes wrong again and want everything on another disk just in case.
I usually use Carbon Copy Cloner to make backups. But that is with a external disk that has OS 10.6.8 on it.
I really don't want to put OS 10.6.8 on the external drive where I store movies and other over-spill data on it.
How do I go about making a copy of this external disk using CCC (or using another program if CCC won't work for this)?
I have two USB ports on my MBA. I prefer to use CCC over SuperDuper because I had a problem with SuperDuper in the past.

So as I understand it, CCC will clone any disk to any disk so long as it's formatted to Mac (extended Journal) and I don't have to put the Mac operating system on the disks that I am copying from and copying to?
Thanks for answering.

My MacBook Pro won't go beyond a white screen, after I pushed the restart button. How can I get it to a login? I have routinely backed it up, but don't know how to bring that up, nor if I have a boot file on that external disk. Help!

My MacBook Pro won't go beyond a white screen, after I pushed the restart button. How can I get it to a login? I have routinely backed it up, but don't know how to bring that up, nor if I have a boot file on that external disk. Help!

Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
To restart an unresponsive computer, press and hold the power button for a few seconds until the power shuts off, then release, wait a few more seconds, and press it again briefly.
Step 1
The first step in dealing with a startup failure is to secure the data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since the last backup, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to start. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
a. Start up from the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.” The article refers to starting up from a DVD, but the procedure in Recovery mode is the same. You don't need a DVD if you're running OS X 10.7 or later.
b. If Step 1a fails because of disk errors, and no other Mac is available, then you may be able to salvage some of your files by copying them in the Finder. If you already have an external drive with OS X installed, start up from it. Otherwise, if you have Internet access, follow the instructions on this page to prepare the external drive and install OS X on it. You'll use the Recovery installer, rather than downloading it from the App Store.
c. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, start the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
d. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
Step 2
If the startup process stops at a blank gray screen with no Apple logo or spinning "daisy wheel," then the startup volume may be full. If you had previously seen warnings of low disk space, this is almost certainly the case. You might be able to start up in safe mode even though you can't start up normally. Otherwise, start up from an external drive, or else use the technique in Step 1b, 1c, or 1d to mount the internal drive and delete some files. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation.
Step 3
Sometimes a startup failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
Step 4
If a desktop Mac hangs at a plain gray screen with a movable cursor, the keyboard may not be recognized. Press and hold the button on the side of an Apple wireless keyboard to make it discoverable. If need be, replace or recharge the batteries. If you're using a USB keyboard connected to a hub, connect it to a built-in port.
Step 5
If there's a built-in optical drive, a disc may be stuck in it. Follow these instructions to eject it.
Step 6
Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to start up, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can start up now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
Step 7
If you've started from an external storage device, make sure that the internal startup volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
Start up in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know the login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
When you start up in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, the startup volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 11. If you ever have another problem with the drive, replace it immediately.
If you can start and log in in safe mode, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then restart as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
If the startup process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
Step 8
Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select the startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then restart as usual.
Step 9
If the startup device is an aftermarket SSD, it may need a firmware update and/or a forced "garbage collection." Instructions for doing this with a Crucial-branded SSD were posted here. Some of those instructions may apply to other brands of SSD, but you should check with the vendor's tech support.
Step 10
Reinstall the OS. If the Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
Step 11
Do as in Step 9, but this time erase the startup volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically restart into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer the data from a Time Machine or other backup.
Step 12
This step applies only to models that have a logic-board ("PRAM") battery: all Mac Pro's and some others (not current models.) Both desktop and portable Macs used to have such a battery. The logic-board battery, if there is one, is separate from the main battery of a portable. A dead logic-board battery can cause a startup failure. Typically the failure will be preceded by loss of the settings for the startup disk and system clock. See the user manual for replacement instructions. You may have to take the machine to a service provider to have the battery replaced.
Step 13
If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.

Windows 7 64bit doesn't recognize the USB External HDD Stor E art 3.5"

I purchase the External HDD Stor E art 3.5" and pass a few days the windows don't recognize the HDD. Try to connect the drive to other 2 USB ports and nothing happen. Use a USB pen drive to see if was a problem with the USB ports but all 3 are OK. Try it on the Asus notebook and windows 7 recognize the HDD. I formated the HDD in FS NTFS. In the disk managment don't show the external HDD. What can I do to resolve this problem?
My notebook is a Qosmio F60

One last thing you can do about that.
Install OS again using original Toshiba recovery image. After doing this you will have clean preinstalled OS and everything should work well again.
If the same will happen again you should contact nearest Toshiba service and try to clarify the situation.
I know it is pretty radical solution but, believe me, most effective to check notebook functionality.

How can I download Mountain Lion onto an external disk?

Hello everyone
My macbook pro hard drive was failing and at a genius appointment the technician said I could either pay for them to do the replacement or do it at home, since it would cost me nearly three times less. I bought the hard drive which is physically installed but my mac was not working before the replacement so I couldnt create any copies of the content, sofware, etc which means that now I have no idea how to install the sofware again... I've read about downloading Mountain Lion off the Apple Store onto an external disk and then rebooting the Mac from the external disk but I cant use my apple ID on any other Mac that isnt mine so I'm totally lost... Any help, please?

I'm assuming the grey disks are installation CDs that came with the mac?
Correct. But since you're trying to get back to Mountain Lion, you don't need them. If you had created a Mountain Lion bootable flash drive from your original download, you could have started up to that and installed ML directly.
Since it appears you don't, than what you do need is a retail Snow Leopard disk. If you don't have one, it can be purchased directly from Apple for $20. Install that and update it to at least 10.6.6 to get the App Store app on the drive. Then you can login to your App Store account and retrieve and install Mountain Lion.
