How to move data from a notetaker that uses slowly season to function to my MacBook Pro and how to secure this data because it is sensitive.

Good morning everyone, I am as my subject line states needing to move sensitive data from a notetaker that is slowly ceasing to function. It will be replaced but not with a note taker so I’m wanting to put this data on my MacBook Pro but because it is sensitive data is there a good way to passwo

You can install macports and then install a package called GPG (Gnu Privacy Guard). You can then encrypt your data after creating both a public and private key. Then store it on a USB device with a braille tag attached to let you know what it is. If you don’t want to go through the hassles of i

I would also recommend GNU Privacy Guard (GPG) for encrypting sensitive personal information. In addition, enabling Fire Vault would be a good idea, if you haven't done so already. This encrypts all of your data files, just in case you accidentally write sensitive information to a file that is

Ah yes, the Cold War model called “Defense in depth”. Btw, you can also format a USB stick as an encrypted filesystem (you would have to go into the advanced features on Disk Utility to do this) or you can create an encrypted disk image and then write that as a file to the USB stick, then you ca

In Windows, OneDrive has a security vault. Is there such a thing in iCloud or Word for the Mac? Sounds a little less intimidating. -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of Eric Oyen Sent: Sunday, July 18, 2021 3:25 PM To: [MacVisionaries] Subject: Re: How to

Actually, Not sure about ICloud, but you can create something akin to it. You create an encrypted disk image locally, then open it after resenting your credentials. Then copy any files to it that you want. Once that is done, close and unmount the disk image and then upload it to iCloud as a file

Well, an encrypted disk image is exactly that. It behaves exactly like a real disk in all aspects, save one: it’s a file with a filesystem inside it. Now, a VM is entirely different. We are talking about a virtual machine environment here. It will have a CPU, video, and all the other devices of

Hi all, I may have asked this on a list before, if so I can’t remember the answer. I have a couple of iCloud aliases that my wife & I use separately. I don’t want all of these downloading on My Mac or iPhone. How can I have only one Alias download? Thanks for any advice. Max. -- The following in

Yes, I set up virtual machines a long time ago through VMWare. I used some tools to create image backups of my computers so just tried to compare file encryption to those processes. I just find it easier to backup sensitive data to external hard drives. -Original Message- From: macvision
