[QUOTE="ClockworkWorld, post: 1184159, member: 182559"] Questions are always welcome here! :) I have read that it's possible to password protect iPhoto, but I've never tried it, so I am not certain how (or how well) it works. I do believe that one thing you could do, is create a separate account for the kids to use, and decide what is and is not available on it. I'm not certain about saving things to a portable drive, if it keeps them from being visible in any way on the Mac. I can check for you when I get home from work, if someone doesn't beat me to it :) I know in iTunes, if we save our library on the external drives, and open iTunes with the drives unplugged, the song names and information still show in iTunes, but they cannot be played. I'll check about if thumbnails can still be viewed in iPhoto in the same way or not, I've never tried it :) (Ah, I wouldn't have assumed it was porn :P But of course I understand about the kiddos and tattoo images :) Lots of things not necessarily good for our kids' eyes or ears that we as adults might enjoy!)
