OS X V10.7 Lion :: Use FileVault To Encrypt Both Hard Drive And Time Machine Backup External Drive?

OS X :: Encrypt Boot Drive And External HD For TM Backup
Oct 24, 2010I have a requirement to encrypt the whole of my boot drive and my mobile Time Machine backup drive that I shall be taking with me on travels. I know I can use FileVault, which will give me an encrypted disk image but I don't like the reliability of sparse images and need the whole of the boot drive to be encrypted. I have tried Truecrypt to encrypt the TM disk, but could not get Time Machine to see it. I've been looking at the Checkpoint Full Disk Encryption product. What I'm trying to find out is if I can encrypt a USB HD with it, but seem to be going round in loops between Checkpoint and resellers.

Aug 30, 2014I have two G-Raid Thunderbolt RAID disks. Each is set up as a RAID 1 stripe (2 disks into one volume). I have my system disk encrypted with filevault, and would like to enable full disk encryption for the external disks as well. I tried the "Right click on disk in finder, select encrypt" option, but after I enter my choice of PW, I just get the error:Â
"A partition, not a whole disk, is required for this operation." Is this possible? Preferably, without formatting my disks all over again and enabling the encrypted FS at that time?
OS X V10.6 Snow Leopard :: Encrypt External Drive With TrueCrypt / PGP Signature
Mar 23, 2012I want to use TrueCrypt to encrypt an external drive. I understand the new version of FileVault can do this but I prefer not to upgrade to Lion. I'd rather wait till Mountain Lion comes out later this year.Â
For those who have used both...Just wondering how TrueCrypt compares to FileVault in regards to encrypting an external drive. Also, I am trying to install or execute the PGP Signature to ensure that the TrueCrypt software that I am downloading from the TrueCrypt's Web site is authentic and has not been hacked.Â
How do I run or install it? I double-click on the PGP Signature file, a window pops up and says it cannot find an application to open it. I even tried removing the ".sig" from the end of the file name and it say it cannot open the disk image. Â
There are instructions on the TrueCrypt web site for Windows users but none for the Mac users that I can see.

MacBook Air :: Start Up Disk Full When Trying To Encrypt External Backup
Jun 28, 2014Decided to encrypt my external backup drive. Instead, I essentially doubled my memory by duplicating my external hard drive and adding it to my MacBook. Now my startup disk is full and I'm stuck. I also have Time Machine but not sure how to restore (replace?) my Mac storage to what it was two hours ago.

Mar 19, 2012I have about 2TB of data on an external hard drive, which is connected by Firewire cable to my MacBook Pro. I am running Lion 10.7. One folder (and ONLY one folder) on the external drive contains documents with private data. I want to encrypt the folder, but not the entire hard drive. I tried System Utilities > New Image to create an encrypted disk image, but it seems to want to encrypt the entire image instead of just one folder. how to encrypt just one folder and the documents it contains, either with a proprietary Apple tool or with a reliable 3rd party tool?Â

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Can Encrypt Mail Folder
Feb 9, 2012I'd like to encrypt my Mail folder in my Library. Is this possible? I'm not worried about other users on my mac, but if it is stolen, I'd like to know my emails cannot be accessed. I have TrueCrypt which I've used for files that I have created. It is quick and easy. But I'm not sure if this is compatible with an application like Mail which has a default file system. I've also hear that there may be issues later with mail if you try and search for emails once you've encrypted the folder.Â

Mar 13, 2012I would really love some help with this; I've been banging my head against the wall trying to achieve something that is seemingly so simple and basic.Â
We want to use an Email app that will allow us to encrypt only ONE email folder. Access to the rest of the email should be open to all users of the computer, just the one folder needs to be encrypted or password protected. Apparently this is not possible in Outlook, because in Outlook for Mac all of the folders are now integrated into one database and so cannot be encrypted individually as they can on PC. Â
Does anyone have any suggestions of how to achieve this? I am considering using Mac's Mail, but can't find Mail file structure on my Lion machine to see if I can access the individual mailboxes separately. Does anyone know where to find Mail's folder structure? I looked in the Library but found nothing for Mail, as it used to be in previous OSs. Am open to third party software work arounds, other email clients, whatever.

OS X Mountain Lion :: Encrypt Only One Mac Mail Account?
Jun 17, 2014I would like to encrypt only one of the accounts I have associated with MacMail. To do this, I plan to create a new disk image using disk utlity, then dragging the particular Mail account to that folder. Since I don't want to encrypt all accounts, I'm not sure what folders I ought to put into my new encrypted drive image.Â
In the "homelibrarymailV2" folder, I do see the POP or IMAP folder for the account I want to encrypt, but I was wondering if I also need to add the "Mailboxes" or "MailData" folders that are also there since they seem to have information in them related to my accounts as well.Â

View 15 Replies View RelatedApplications :: Cascading Ciphers To Encrypt Files?
Jan 12, 2009My question is related to using cascading ciphers to encrypt files (specifically using Truecrypt.) I am considering using Serpent > Twofish > AES.
I've heard a couple of different theories on this approach:
1. The resulting encryption will only be as strong as the weakest algorithm.
2. The resulting encryption will be as strong as the strongest algorithm.
Which theory is right?
Truecrypt uses the same passphrase for each cascading cipher. I've ben thinking that as soon as one cipher is cracked (probably the one which was used last in the encryption sequence) the plain text passphrase would be able to be simply used against the remaining two ciphers. Am I right?
Finally, is Truecrypt encrypting the data with one cipher, then encrypting the resulting encrypted data with another cipher, and then another? Or are the three ciphers being used to encrypt different sections of data?

Jun 30, 2010I have imported a large number of CDs into my iMac, and I realized recently if someone managed to copy the MP3s off of my computer with a simple USB drive, they could steal my entire library! Is there a way to encode my ripped tracks with DRM to force iTunes to check if the computer is authorized to play them? I think I remember there was an early version of iTunes that allowed you to encrypt your own tracks with FairPlay DRM.

Apr 26, 2012I bought a WD my book studio 2tb from the apple store and tried formatting it. There was a quick formatter already on the disk but this wouldn't work correctly, so I used the apple disk utility to 'erase data'. I left it on overnight and it seemed to have hung and gone no further, so I turned it off. Now every time I plug the drive in to try and format it, everything freezes and I get the spinning busy wheel.Â
I've tried disabling spotlight indexing, resetting pram, starting in safe mode and accessing disk utility from the recovery menu. Without fail, within seconds of connecting the drive it crashes everything and I have no idea what it's doing.

OS X V10.7 Lion :: External HDD Ejecting During TM Backup?
Mar 12, 2012This is proving a bit a bit of a puzzle to me. I have a 1TB External LaCie hard drive connected directly to my iMac via USB. It has two partitions, both empty. I set the back-up going and it works for a while and then I get:"Time Machine could not complete the backup. The backup disk may have been ejected or disconnected from your computer." Â
I've amended the Energy Saver settings in the system preferences to keep the machine on given the length of time the first update is going to take, but this doesn't seem to make any difference - and I'm not even touching it! I promise! Then the drive disappears from the disk utility. I then have to turn it off and then on again to get it back. I have the TM widget and this is what it has to say:Â
Starting standard backup
Backing up to: /Volumes/Time Machine backup 70/Backups.backupdb
Ownership is disabled on the backup destination volume. Enabling.
Backup content size: 196.7 GB excluded items size: 1.7 GB for volume Macintosh HD

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Install On An External Drive?
Mar 17, 2012I have read the discussions on making a bootable backup of Lion on external hard drive or a USB drive. I am not clear on whether I can purchase Lion from the App Store and have it download on an external drive so that my Macbook with 10.6.8 will remain as is. I want to test drive Lion before giving up Snow Leopard. I use SuperDuper and have a bootable Snow Leopoard on an external hard drive. Addendum: It looks like I may need to upgrade from 2GB of ram to 4GB before using Lion. My question still stands though.

OS X V10.7 Lion :: External ISight Has No Sound?
May 2, 2012I recently purchased an original external iSight camera, and while the video works fine, the built-in microphone isn't picking up any audio at all. I've tested it in the Sound preference pane, iMovie, iChat, Skype, and Photo Booth -- nothing, no audio at all when I select it as the default audio input device.Â
I've read that older iSights don't work in FaceTime, but I'm getting zero audio input. Is this a Lion thing or should I assume there's a mic problem?Â
As a side note, I also tested it on a MacBook Pro running 10.6 with no better luck.
