Applications :: How To Lock Down A Mac?
Feb 1, 2010
I've been feeling paranoid lately after reading a number of articles on how vulnerable my data is. I wanted to make my MBP more secure. I realize that with cold boot attacks, nothing is ever truly secure, but I do want my data more safely protect than with just an EFI and user password. I don't have any particular files on my computer that is pressingly sensitive, so I found truecrypt to be not very useful. I want my computer to generally well protected.

I have a belgian azerty keyboard and OS X in english on my white macbook. Is it possible to change the caps lock key's function to shift lock so that it affects the whole keyboard rather than just the letters? I'd like to be able to type numbers without holding shift.

application or app that will allow me to lock my keyboard? I've got a curious new kitten who insists on walking on my laptop when I'm sat watching a film and pausing/stopping/ejecting etc!

I have an iMac 20'' running Snow Leopard and I want to keep my screen on (to be more specifically, I need to keep it on with a photo on it, always) but when someone moves the mouse or press a key I don't want them to access my computer without entering my password. (like a transparent screen lock app) I think you got the idea, can you recommend me a software that does this?

I'm trying to "lock" or "freeze" the first column in the spreadsheet I'm making so that it will always be on the left side of the sheet when I scroll right. I cannot for the life of me figure out how though.

I recently bought a replacement keyboard on ebay for my MBP and just installed it. It's been about a week, and just today, I noticed the capslock key doesn't work.. I'm not sure if it has been this way, or if it recently just stopped. The light doesn't come on at all.
I was curious if this was a common problem? If not, is their anything I can do as a substitute for caps lock? Another key perhaps? Or, a button on the task bar or something?

If I'm not at home I would like the MBP to lock the screen after 15 mins, but not while I'm home. So if my home-wifi isn't detected I would like the "lock screen" to be enabled. Is this possible?

It is "unlocked". Every time I click it, it just stays unlocked and won't actually lock. For example, I can't lock it on the "Energy Saver" prefpane, but I can lock/unlock on the Accounts prefpane...

Does anyone know if there's a way to lock my desktop icons (so my curious kids don't mistakenly - or not so mistakenly - move stuff around or into trash). My desktop is kept fairly simple (icons for the various HDs and folders for homework). We've also had the issue of items going *poof* from the dock - which is an easily fixable issue - but a little bit of a nuisance to have to retrieve from time to time.

I have parallels and sometimes boot into windows. I was wondering if there was any way to f-lock on a MacBook keyboard. If I need to change a setting through the control panel or take this to another panel then let me know.

I have OS X on my desk at work. Multiple users are set up, but is usually logged in under me. Other support reps use the machine from time to time. I noticed that if multiple users are set up then I can not lock a folder. Is there a way around this, or am I not doing something right?
