It is poor because if I mount the image contents are visible to all users on that host (which might be a multi user machine).

Hi if I create (with DiskUtility say) and mount a DiskImage, it is visible to all users. Since one of the primary use cases is to make an encrypted DiskImage to protect information, this seems an extraordinarily poor situation. Is there a way to restrict visibility to just the mounting user ...

hi Satcomer thanks for your answer; that's a useful link :-) since it's a power pc i could upgrade her to 10.5 (leopard) but not beyond. I am just expecting that modern printers won't work with a power pc on 10.4/10.5 ! But maybe GUten print is the answer... Zag

Hi the printer on my Mum's old iMac (PowerPC, 10.4.11) has died so I need to get her a new one. Is there anything I need to watch out for in getting a new one ? Should I expect that most printers won't work with it since the drivers (I think) were then bundled with the printer s/w on...

Hi the mac mini no longer comes with a kensington security slot which is rather annoying. I was wondering if anyone had tried the security frame from tryten (or any other) and whether its slot handles kensington locks (I have a Kensington chain to attach to it) thanks Zag

oh as always, post a question, work out the answer 1 minute later... I believe I can format on a formula for the cells and that can be as complex as I like Zag

Hi I am running Excel 2008 on my MacBook Pro. I'd like to conditionally format some cells in a single column with a condition format like: <COndition 1> AND <Condition 2> AND <Condition 3> However, the (paltry) help seems to suggest that I can only do a logical OR of the...

hi running a MacBook Pro, 10.4.8 The Internet COnnect application is misbehaving (I believe it has always done so - this is not my machine, it belongs to a friend who I am trying to help). When you select an External Model Dial Up configuration from the Menu, the configuration...

Hi all thanks for your input. I was hoping that the Applications that come with Mac OS X, whether it requires 1,2,3 or more steps would be able to do this (as I am sure it is a rather common want). So the answer appears to be that DiskUtility, iMovie and iDVD cannot do this in any way, and...

Hello I'd like to duplicate a DVD of running time about two hours. How do I do this with OS X 10.4 ? I know how to use DiskUtility to make a disk image from a DVD and then burn that. However, the disk image is of size 7.2Gb which won't fit on a standard DVD of capacity 4.2Gb...

Bob I had already tried that (see first post). It did not help... It's almost like the actual content is corrupt. cheers Zag

bob thanks for suggestion, but it doesn't help either. The really odd thing is that it appears only on this one link/page... cheers zag
