[QUOTE="AccessPA, post: 1245697, member: 196133"] One thing I found useful on my Ipod touch is...you can store .pdf's. In the ibookshelf, right? Well, on the Mac you can also save docs in Pages as [B]encrypted[/B] .pdfs. I loaded one on the touch and it transferred. It even popped open the dialogue to unlock it. Only thing I could not figure was how to close it back up. But if you never open it, you can leave it stored unopened. What i have found this is good for is storing hiring documentation. I'm a contractor and people find me on the net for consulting gigs. Some times it goes down pretty quick. I can just forward the hiring company a doc that has some pre-filled out W4's, IDs, direct deposit setup info...just the type of stuff you don't want on anything steal-able and mobile that can grow legs. So, its password protected. When you're sure who you're dealing with, send them the file and tell them to call you when they get it. When they do, give them the password and they can pop the doc open and get rolling on your start date. You don't have to worry while its on your ipod, ipad, iphone, whatever, or if the email is somehow intercept-able on the net. It doenst get unlocked till it lands where its supposed to. That's one solution, I just wish they'd figure out a protocol to handle Mac .dmg files. [/QUOTE]
