    Has this changed? I got into Disk Utility and it has none of those options. How do you do this on the new OS?

    Hi, Could you please explain if it is possible to make a password protected folder on a External Hard drive using the same procedures above? If yes How can I have both the disk image (dmg) and the folder (kind internal memory stick) inside the external hard drive instead on the desktop ?

      This is exactly what has happened to me. I've lost my .dmg file. I'm not sure if it was accidently deleted or just lost. Can someone suggetst how i can find it. I've search everywhere for it and i still cant find it..

    No password asking fixed: Root cause is mac os remember your password during create image, you need to delete it in keychain.
    support.apple.com/kb/PH7293
    In "Password" find your image name and right click to delete it.

    Hey man, is there a way to increase the size of an already hidden folder? I accidentially made one only 100MB and would like to keep using it, as opposed to making a whole new one for the same kind of files.

  • @giuliamauri9165
    @giuliamauri9165 9 років тому

    HI THERE, THANKS FOR THE GREAT TUTORIAL. how do i delete an 'image' created in this way? I have created it 3 times, and only in one of them is asking me for the password even though i have ejected the image as you suggested. so i need to delete the old ones. how do i do that? i assume that by putting in the bin i just eject it rather then eliminate it... thank you so much

    1. people are usually jealous and can't afford a mac. (the poor people)
    2. linux is a lot harder to work with, from what i hear, & therefore developers/coders complain. (the coders)
    3. very limited to self modification and parts, etc. (the gamers)
    4. just jumping on the bandwagon. (most popular group: the douches)

    I followed these instructions on my new mac (3 week old pro), when it was all done, It had only created the one disk image on my desktop, and not the other one, that looks like a drive! Whats the deal? I can't seem to do anything with this, and I've tried a few times, I'm worried I'll have problems from creating too many of these things?

  • @reneagr
    @reneagr 11 років тому

    I think you're clicking on something before clicking "create image" when opening disk utility. If you are then just open disk utility and without selecting anything click on "create image". If you're not clicking on anything before that then I don't know what the problem is. Good luck!

  • @thekevinjustice
    @thekevinjustice 11 років тому

    My disk utility uses a much abbreviated process (less options, no ability to customize size) but then tells me there's no room left on the device. There does seem to be plenty of space, though. 414 GB available on a 1TB drive. Any thoughts? Thanks!

  • @mclohan
    @mclohan 11 років тому

    The folder pops up in the "finder" window with the rest of your "devices". Then you can access it like normal. When your done and wanna hide it again hit the "eject" button. Thumbs up so everyone can see this!!!!

    Ok, this is good, but PC's do not recognize DMG files. What format can you use that will transfer from a USB flash memory card from a Mac to a PC?

  • @pauldiazval
    @pauldiazval 10 років тому

    Great video. Question - I followed the instruction and I got it, BUT if I open finder and I use the spotlight to look for an specific file or folder inside the encrypted folder I just created, Finder will show me the location of the folder or the file with its content and even more, Pressing the bar space Finder shows me the preview. So the whole purpose of the encryption and password creation have no sense. What to do? Thanks in advance.

    @Robbiecyork 10 років тому

    Awesome...except the .dmg file doesn't require the password before it is trashed and the trash emptied. It required the password before being opened...just not deleted. Did I do something wrong? I don't want the folder opened but it'd be worse if it was deleted.
