Is there a way to set up a password thru the Mac OS for a particular application, to protect it from opening? For example i just installed Evernote on my MacBook Pro and want to set a password for it. I'm planning to do a surprise party for my wife, so im trying to keep it for my eyes only for now. Unfortunately, Evernote doesn't come with a password on its own.

I keep getting the error message There was an error joining the Airport network "XXXXXX". My MacBook and all our other pc laptops connect with no problem. I don't have an Ethernet card working. The card went out and I would have had to replace the whole Motherboard, so we had an airport installed. It's worked great for 4 years now.

Is there any way to have itunes require a password when clicked on in the dock, so that itunes would not open without my password. I realize that I could just log out each time or require the password when waking from sleep, but really itunes is the only app I don't want her opening.

View 1 Replies View RelatedMy MacBook Pro (Late 2011) which is fully up to date, no longer boots up. The last thing I did was set a firmware password via Lion Recovery mode. After setting the password, I restarted the MacBook Pro, logged in, unbound the Mac from AD and OD, gave it a different computer name and chanegd the IP settings to DHCP. I shutdown the MacBook, plugged in a Firewire cable and turned it back on whilst holding down "T" to boot into Target Disk Mode.
The screen turned on for a second then suddenly turned off and the light on the front of the MacBook slowly pulses as if its in sleep mode. I've restarted the MacBook several times, with and without holding down any buttons and now it will not boot up properly. When you turn the MacBook on, you can hear the CDROM Drive/HDD moving - like it usually does but with no feedback on the screen. After the normal sounds have stopped the light on the front of the MacBook pulses as if its in sleep mode.

Think about this for a second: I only have the computer plugged in when in the house. I only need a password when not in the house. Is there a way to make it so that it only requires password to wake from screensaver or sleep when it runs of battery and not power? I know you can do this in windows 7 but I don't know about OSX.

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!!!

View 5 Replies View RelatedYes I know other people have posted this and gotten the answer that you just put it ion anyways and you wont see it come up but it works. Well I do not actually have a password set so usually I just hit enter with it blank but when I do that in Terminal it says sorry wrong password or something until I hit the 3rd try and it boots me.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI was wondering if anyone knows a good way of setting up time-delayed email?
The reason being, my girlfriend has her driving theory test about 3 days after I leave the country for a few weeks, and I will most probably be without internet access for the first few days I'm away.
At the moment, I'm sending her little mini tests every day, to help her revise, that I write myself (well, I copy them out of the book )
So I'd like to be able to send like 2 or 3 emails with mini-tests in... I'd like to specify the time and date they are delivered.

View 10 Replies View RelatedSomething recently changed with my system for opening movies.
Quicktime used to be the default player for opening movie files.
For some reason RealPlayer has become the default and I don't really like it.
I can't seem to find anywhere, either in Quicktime itself or System Preferences where i can set this default.
