Want to make document private, how?

I am using Pages to keep my private journal. I have 90 pages of private information written and don't want anyone else to see it. Can I make this document private by putting a password on it? Is there any way to "hide" this document so no one but me can find it?

That's ridiculous; I always used password-protected documents in Word. I've been 90% anti-microsoft for a while, but I just started using Pages recently and have been somewhat disappointed by it.
A whole disk image just for a single document? The only thing I can think of would be to save it as a password-protected PDF file (if anything, that's a huge plus).
Ridiculous response!
A disk image is an efficient soluce. I use sparseImage ones daily. They introduce just a small extraneous set of bytes and the docs are correctly protected.
If you are just starting to use Pages, why start with an old (two years old) version ?
Pages '09 offers the ability to password protect documents which prove that Apple is listening customers.
Even with this newly added feature, I continue to use the imagedisk scheme which allow me to keep together related documents like a Pages document and the Numbers file from which datas are grabbed in a merge process.

HT1689 I need to get my iPod to no longer be associated with the original i store account. My husband set it up through his account but now I have my own account. I don't want to go through his every time I want to make a change. how do I make this change

I need to get my iPod to no longer be associated with the original i store account. My husband set it up through his account but now I have my own account. I don't want to go through his every time I want to make a change. how do I make this change?

I am trying to stop using my I-pod under my husband's I-Tune account. It was set up under his account and the only way I can use it under my account is to erase all of the songs my husband loaded on for me. I had heard there is a duration that I-Pods are locked into to one account only, and I am trying to discover how I can use my account without having to erase everything on the I-Pod. I know it sounds confusing but that's the way I-tunes have set it up. thanks for asking.

Completer wants to make changes. How to remove?

On startup, I get "Completer wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this." Some searched links indicated Genieo Addware. I do not have a Genieo Application installed yet, but I do have com.genieo.completer.* files in ~/Library/LaunchAgents. How do I get this out without killing myself?
Thanks,
Dave

How do i find my original imovie event files. i have a lot of thumbnails, cache .mov, .mov. my events have many duplicates and i want to make space so how do i know which one is the original so i can transfer them to a usb and trash the rest? please help!

i need to delete the extra files but i want to know how to find my original ones.... i am going crazy i dont know why i have sooo many duplicates of my events....

Final Cut is a separate, higher end video editor. The pro version of iMovie.
Give iPhoto a look at for creating the slideshow. It's easy to assemble the photos in an album in iPhoto, put them in the order you want and then make a slideshow of them. You can select from various themes and transitions between slides and add music from your iTunes library.
When you have the slidshow as you want use the Export button at the bottom of the iPhoto window and export with Size = Medium or Large.
Save the resulting Quicktime movie file in your Movies folder.
Next, open iDVD, choose your theme and drag the QT movie file into the menu window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Then follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
The reason I suggest iPhoto is that I find it much easier to use than iMovie (except for the older iMovie 6 HD version). Personal preferences showing here.

Hello and HELP! Over the years I have saved Invoices in my Documents. I have just tried to open them and all I am getting is " cannot be opened, Invoice**** is used by another user, do you want to make a copy?" That's on all my invoices.

Can someone help please.
I have just "lost" ( cannot open) all my saved Invoices in the Document folder. All I am getting is " cannot open, Invoice ** is used bey another user, do you want to make copy? " That doesn't work either. I can't get anything on the time capsule either. How can I reset to an earlier time? Or what can I do?
Thank you

Did you recently reinstall the OS then copy all your files back over? Do a Get info on one of the documents and see if your current UserName is listed and has Read & Write permissions. If not select the Documents folder and check that for Read & Write permissions for your UserName. If it doesn't have R & W permissions Add it so it does.

How do I make a private album in new Photos for IMac?

How do I make a private album in the new Photos for IMac? I had one in iPhoto, and now that all the photos migrated to Photos my private album is not hidden anymore. Thanks for help!

Photos does not hide photos in albums at all. Photos can only be hidden from Moments, Collections, Years.
If you want private albums, move the photos in questions to a different Photos Library, that you keep hidden.

There's no "New File" shortcut in Finder on Macs, so you have to launch the application you want (eg TextEdit), create your document, and save it there. There are workarounds using Terminal (the touch command), AppleScript/Automator, and using third-party launch programs like Quicksilver, but natively, it can't be done.

Make a Document private

hi
An agent attaches a internal document to a case transaction.
How can the agent make it private so that it cannot be seen by the customer in ICSS?
Thanks

Mac OS X does not have this option for folders. One way is to use Disk Utility to create an encrypted disk image (this is how I store my financial information, for example). This kbase article describes the process:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1578
When you enter the password, be sure the box to store the password in the keychain is UNchecked.
Alternatively, you can use 3rd party software. Crypt3 can encrypt files or folders. The paid version of Hide Folders can also password protect them.

I want to make changes to the document

i want to make changes to the PDF document on this site. how?

There is no way to do that in Workspaces.
To convert a PDF file to an editable format such as Word or Excel, you can subscribe to one of Adobe's services (Adobe ExportPDF or Adobe PDF Pack) or you can purchase Adobe Acrobat.

You can't do that. iCloud does function that way.

It is not clear how or where you "added" your email, but you cannot create an Apple ID using an email address that is already associated with another Apple ID.
If that is what you did, delete that email address from your family's Apple ID. You should be free to create a new one.
Do all that by starting here: https://appleid.apple.com/
Select "Manage your Apple ID". Log in with your family's Apple ID and then delete your own email address wherever it appears.
Save Changes, log out, and create the new one using the same website. This time select "Create an Apple ID".
Please don't forget your security questions, and be sure to specify a "rescue email address" that is separate from all other Apple IDs. You will avoid so many problems that way...

How can I change the billing country in my account? I want to make a purchase and the billing country isn't correct.

I want to make a purchase of Photoshop CC but my billing country is wrong. How can I change it? Thanks.

Hello,
please try first Adobe ID and registration support and Get help with orders, refunds, and exchanges and if necessary and for further questions and if "open" please use chat, I had the best experiences. I quote from Adobe's employee Preran: The chat button is activated as soon as there is an agent available to help.
Good luck!

You have to add another email address on one of the two devices that you can use as the "You can be reached for FaceTime at" contact address and then remove/uncheck the Apple ID email address as the contact address on that device. The way you are currently setup is like to trying to call yourself on your on phone - from your own phone.
Using the iPad as the example go to Settings>FaceTime>You can be reached for FaceTime at>Add another email address. Then add a working email address in the next window. Apple will verify the email. Go to the inbox of that email account, read and respond to Apple's email in order to complete the verification process.
Go back to Settings>FaceTime>Uncheck the Apple ID email address and make sure that the new email address is checked/selected (you will see it being verified again) and that new email address will be your contact address for the iPad.
