[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1705218, member: 204485"] I could not agree more chscag, we have talked about this subject of need extensively on this forum in the past. Apart from my previously mentioned use of an encrypted folder there are plenty of third party apps out there like Mac Paw Hider which I got in a package deal and use for a few files. That doesn't detract from the fact that File Vault [I]should[/I] work reddogco. Especially since you have to actively choose [I]not[/I] to use it in the initial user set up. Apple really need to address this issue and fast. Having said all that it seems to me unlikely that your portable device would be stolen for the express purpose of gaining access to your personal data. I would think that in most cases it would be to resell so [I]erasing[/I] it would probably be the first step towards that. [/QUOTE]
