Applications :: No Password On IDisk Public Folder
Oct 4, 2007
I have no password on my idisk public folder. When I connect via a web browser (safari, firefox, ie 6) it still asks for a password. I have set and removed the password countless times. I connect via: ([URL], the public as user and the password). Only in firefox it asks for the password, I hit cancel without typing anything, it asks again, I hit cancel again and then I get access.
In IE6 and safari it asks once for the password, doesn't accept whatever I type and then loads forever without ever showing me the contents. It seems there is a permission problem or so. even when I set a password it will not accept it. i turn password off and still no luck. Why do I pay 100 bucks and then I can't use the idisk public folder? Logging into the idisk itself via a browser works fine. I just can't give anybody access to my idisk public folder even when I use the recommended browsers.
I have turned on File Sharing on the server, and having logged into my iDisk via Finder, I thought I could drag the folder from the Finder window to the Public folder icon on Lion Server, but no luck.
I am signed into Lion Server as the admin, so what should I do? I'm trying to copy those files from the iDisk before time runs out and Apple scrubs iDisk!
Quick question � do you know if there�s a way to let people upload files to your mobile me iDisk, without them having to enter your private account password in? Kinda like a public drop box? I know there are other services out there, but trying to see if I can do it all on mobile me, without having to sign up for additional services from other providers.
My public folder was name using my full name. How can I change this? Firstly, where did it get my name from? Maybe I typed my full name in at some point - I can't remember, but now i use my intials for my login name and proper short name. I deselected the folder for sharing then reselected it trying to find if it was re-nameable and in doing this my full name has disappeared but my short name or initials havent been used - so now it just says "Public" - does anyone know how to name this so when someone selects my laptop under Network it shows "Yuan's" Public Folder? Maybe if I restart the laptop or repair permissions it will correct itself - ill try now.
I've finished setting up a small server using the public folder on m,y mac mini running OS X 10.5.7. I'm able to easily access it and use my login to access the public folder on my home network. My question is, how can i set up a system by which remotely, I can login to access JUST the public folder on my mini. Is this possible? If not, what else could I do that would allow something like this.
Currently my music files are in the public folder however, the itunes library file is in my music folder. I want to move all my itunes media to an external, out of space. How to I handle this situation of multiple locations during move. I don't care to have my actual music files in the public folder anymore either.
Currently in my network, my public folder is showed as "Public folder of AAA BBB" from other(ps: AAA is my name BBB is my family name)
BUT i want remove my family name in the Public folder, i want something like that : "Public folder of AAA" when someone acces to my public folder in the network.
I already changed the name in User and Group panel but its still show my name+family name in the shared public folder
i have 1 user on my imac. when i access the imac over my network from my mbp, i see 3 folders - the hard drive folder, the main user folder, and also a public folder from a previous user which i have since deleted. there should only be 2 folders visible.
when i search the imac, i can't find this rogue orphan public folder at all. how do i delete it?
Can I upload .sit files to share with people like I did using the "Public" folder of MobileMe? Also can the uploaded files be password-protected? I bascially need the same functionality of the Public folder in MobileMe.
I've just recently came across the software 1Password and I was thinking of purchasing a copy.However, before I do I was wondering if someone that uses the software could answer this questions:How am I able to access my passwords when I am using a public computer - i.e. machines at the library? Can I log into a website to find out my passwords?I noticed there is a 1Password app for the iPhone. Is there a free version of this if you buy the version for Mac? Do I need to buy this in order to have my passwords on-the-go?piece of software.
I never download betas, jailbreak, or hack anything. I went on tuaw and they had links to Itunes 10.1 beta and iOS 4.2 GM and I couldnt resist. I have been running both for a week now. The itunes beta has a BIG BUG that is driving me nuts! Whenever I try to edit a song or artist name by clicking on it, Itunes force closes.
This happens every single time. My questions is for those who are used to testing betas and early releases: Once Itunes 10.1 is officially released, will it show up as a software update that I could just upgrade to? How does one update from a beta to a final public release of an application?
I've got an old iBook G4 that I'm using as a file server. I've set up public/private key SSH authentication on the machine. Here are the steps I've followed: Create a non-admin user account on the iBook. ('craig'). Log in on the iBook physically, and create a public/private key combination that is password protected. I was very careful to remember my password. Add the public key to authorized_keys2, which is the file specified in /etc/sshd_config I used a USB thumbdrive to transfer the private key to my Macbook. I tried to log in to the iBook using:
It prompts me for a password, but entering it properly does not grant access, the window just pops up again. Running in verbose mode, I see:
Code: debug1: Authentications that can continue: gssapi,publickey,keyboard-interactive debug1: Next authentication method: publickey debug1: Offering public key: /Users/Craig/.ssh/id_dsa_craig debug1: Authentications that can continue: gssapi,publickey,keyboard-interactive debug1: Trying private key: /Users/Craig/Desktop/craig/id_dsa debug1: PEM_read_PrivateKey failed debug1: read PEM private key done: type <unknown> debug1: PEM_read_PrivateKey failed debug1: read PEM private key done: type <unknown> debug1: PEM_read_PrivateKey failed debug1: read PEM private key done: type <unknown>
First, it's trying to use a public key in my .ssh folder that I don't specify. Second, when it finally gets around to using the private key I suggested, authentication fails. I can post my sshd_config file if you think it will help, but I don't want to clog the tubes.
I don't know about you guys but I am excited! This new version supports Exchange 2007 SP1 with Rollup 4 or later natively! Autodiscovery, Tasks sync, notes sync and categories sync is also fully supported. The best thing is that when ready it will be available to all Entourage customers for free (Standard or Media Edition of Office) http://www.officeformac.com/.59b6a217 "Say hello to Exchange Web Services; The future of Entourage!
I'm excited to tell you about the future for Entourage connectivity to Exchange Server! We've transitioned away from WebDAV, and today we are announcing the public beta of the Entourage for Exchange Web Services client. With this new client, not only are we taking advantage of the Exchange Web Services connectivity, but we are also delivering some new user features such as: * Tasks, Notes, and Categories now sync with the Exchange Server * Resolving names against the Global Address List now works via EWS/HTTP. This means you no longer need to be connected to your corporate network via VPN to resolve names when addressing an e-mail or meeting invitation * Improved Autodiscover. In Entourage for Exchange Web Services Beta, the Autodiscover service keeps user account settings up-to-date after the account setup.
- It runs in the background every time that you start Entourage. - It also runs at a server-defined interval, typically every hour, to make sure that the Exchange Server settings are always kept up-to-date" You will need to register to get the new beta. Acceptance to the beta can take up to 48 hours..I am still waiting to be accepted to the beta. I cant wait.. http://www.microsoft.com/mac/itpros/entourage-ews.mspx It is not a new Entourage but a client that runs as a daemon on Mac every time Entourage starts!

What does it mean when it says that you can't play a movie because a public atom was found in the file. I find that i have a number of movies that are victim to this. and i know it's happening during the drag and drop import into iTunes because i have the original file and it plays fine from the desktop in quiktime.
On the snow leopard is there any way to set a password on a specific folder and all the contents in the folder so when others click it the password is asked?
I have used CandyBar to change the icon for my iDisk. However I have run into some strangeness On the desktop, if I quit and then reconnect to the iDisk it will show the new icon for a moment and then change it back to the default purple drive with the cloud picture. yet, in the finder on the left hand side it shows the new icon. But at the top of the finder window it shows the default icon. WTF? I have tried changing it in CandyBar several times but this is always the behaviour after the changes
I am trying to password protect a folder. I have read the previous threads and stuff and I got the encrypted disk image, and now I have the .dmg file on my desktop and the disk.
From here how do I password protect the folder that I want to password protect?
What sucks is that lets say i protect a folder with a password, (command i and then sharing...) well it uses the same password that i log in with when i start up the computer, it doesnt let me choose a different one. So lets say someone finds out my log in password and logs in, then they can access that folder with the same password. Very very stupid that you can't choose different passwords. Ughh the stupidest thing ever, doesnt Apple think? Man that just makes me mad. Not that im worried about anything, but just stupid design. They didnt think it thru.Unless theres a way to put in a different password for the folder than it is for the log in.??
I'm not sure how it happened, but I am seeing a shortcut for my Applications folder INSIDE my main ("normal") Applications folder. Should I delete it? What causes this to happen?
I am trying to uninstall Virex 7.5. I have got the Terminal uninstall command which opens Terminal. So far, so good. However, Terminal is asking me for my admin password but it's not allowing me to enter it. The cursor is not blinking it's just a solid black oblong - just bl**dy sitting there! Absolutely no response to any key except the enter key - then terminal helpfully says, 'Sorry, try again' What's going on? I just wanna get rid of Virex!!!
Every once and a while my fianc�e's computer will ask for the keychain password while using Safari. As she has forgotten the password everytime she just has to hit cancel. is there a way to reset this
