  Original title: Windows 7 Pro EFS don't encrypt the files/folders

  I have Windows 7 Professional, and after the purchase of some files from online music got the zip file and see that they are encrypted. Fine. Am asked to save my EFS key. Everything is good.

  So started to explore encrypt them my own records and these, but every time I get access denied to do. I need admin privs (I'm on this PC working group). Attributes don't prepare you.

  Assuming that I would use my own EFS certificate using; checked sitting in my store of the user.

  cipher/u shows the downloaded encrypted files (nothing else on my system is encrypted.

  How is it, I can't put my own music?

  also tried to create a new user account (verified new another certificate using EFS the store), but same error access denied.

• iBooks/iCloud problem: all the books transformed into "encrypted files".

  I recently downloaded all my iBook (files PDF and epub files) on the iCloud / iDrive with the iBook on my iPad app. Many worked for awhile, but when I tried to use iBooks after a few weeks of inactivity, none of my downloaded iBooks were visible in iBooks. I looked in the iDrive and there is a section of iBooks, that seems to have all my old iBook (15 GB) files, but each file appears as "Encrypted File". I have no idea on how to decrypt these files so that I can use them again.

  The iBooks interface displays only the empty shelves.

  I don't know what triggered this loss of all my books. Anyone have an idea how I could recover my books?

  Overall, I must say that I am very disappointed with the whole iCloud / iDrive system. It took an eternity to download files, the data transfer is extremely slow and I'm not even able to download iBooks from my PC to the iCloud. I have much better experiences with Google Drive or Dropbox, which operate in a transparent way through everything, platform. I guess that the iCloud / iDrive works only in an all-Apple configuration

  I have the same problem too, all my files epub in the ibooks app disappeared after I have sync my iphone on icloud drive and when I checked the ibooks on my icloud storage it appears as "encrypted file.

  Help, please!

• Automator - how I got a file zip "with replacement"?

  Automator - how I got a file zip "with replacement"?

  I have an action that selects a folder - then creates archive in a chosen folder

  Currently - it uses the name of the source folder, and then brings new archives every time as:

  My folder.zip

  my zip 1 file

  My 2 zip. folder

  I wish there was only a single zip and the new version would ALWAYS OVERWRITE the old.

  Q: How can I get what's going on?

  or how to do that with applescript?

  Hello

  In an Automator workflow, you can use this script in "run AppleScript" action.

  ----

  on track {, parameters} - script for Automator

  -create an archive in the parent folder, it uses the name of the folder, it overwrites one archive existing and returns the path of the archive

  return fileZipper (item 1 of the entry) - entry is a list and it contains the path of the folder

  end of race

  on fileZipper (thisItem)

  tPath thisItem text value

  If tPath ends by ":" and then

  the value text delimiters oTid point

  the value point text delimiters {"": "}

  tPath the text value 1 through the text element - tPath 2

  the point text delimiters oTid value

  end if

  zip (tPath & ".zip") the value as a text file

  shell script "/ usr/bin/Ditto - c k - rsrc - keepParent" & (quoted in the form of tPath POSIX path) & "" & quoted form of POSIX zipFile path ".

  return the zip as an alias file

  end fileZipper

  -----

  This script create a new archive or overwrite an archive existing with the same name as the folder.

  The destination is the parent of the selected folder.

  If you want to move this archive to a specific folder, add "move Finder items" action after the action "Run the AppleScript.

• Cannot encrypt files with fingerprint reader

  I just bought a Toshiba E105-s1602 and I can't find a way to encrypt files and folders with fingerprint reader.
  I use it to connect to the computer and in the instructions it says just right click on the file and there should be something that says encrypt or something similar, but I have no option to do with encryption.

  Does anyone know how to use it, I do something wrong?

  Thank you

  AFAIK this option depends on software pre-installed. I'm not 100% sure, but Toshiba offers two different applications for this application.
  If this option is not available then this option is not available with pre-installed application.

• Decrypt encrypted files and records who have done in Win XP Pro, but now we want to decrypt in Win 7 Pro.

  Hi, please advise me that how can I decrypt my encrypted files and folders now since I got them when I was with Win XP Pro and after all of a sudden my Win XP Pro crash and the installation of Win 7 Pro? I mean, now I use now Win 7 Pro in the lap top, it had Win XP Pro and I did an encryption my files and folders at this time.

  Please notify.

  Thanks & regards in advance

  It will never ask for the encryption keys. Whenever an encrypted file/folder is created, the keys are also created and stored safely in the system. At any time, you can take a backup of the keys (you need, as you cannot decrypt it without the keys).

• How can I transfer encrypted files from old hard drive removed (transfer windows easy?)

  Hello

  I'm trying to get some files off my old hard drive encrypted. He has xp on it, and I can't start on my new computer. Since it is a separate, apparently, I can't do either windows easy transfer. Is it possible for me to locate the certificate and key, or to transfer files with the key and the certificate on my new computer (I have password from the old computer if I need that)? Can I somehow run WET on this hard drive for keys/certificates can be transferred. This seems to be a common problem from what I have read.
  Otherwise, do you have ideas on how to start my old xp disk on my new system without reformatting?
  Very important to get these files.
  Thank you!

  First of all, I assume you mean encrypted files (EFS, Encrypting File System).  These files are encrypted with a key that is still encrypted in your system like a certificate.  In order to read your encrypted on any other system files, you must restore the certificate from a backup.  The short article is mandatory for anyone considering the use of EFS:

• Is there a way to recover the EFS encrypted files stored on an external drive without the origianl certificate?

  Is there a way to recover the EFS encrypted files stored on an external drive without the original of the certificate?

  I had photos/files stored on an external drive and have been encrypted with EFS in XP. The main drive crashed, all keys have been lost. Got a new main drive, installed the new OS and now can't access encrypted files.

  Unless you can retrieve parts of your old drive or have a backup of your encryption certificate, you have probably lost all of your encrypted data.  Recovery agents work only if they are in place when the file/folder is initially encrypted.  A program like AEFSDR might be able to resurrect your old certificate from your old drive if it is readable at all.  If you plan to use EFS in the future, make sure you read the following article the court - particularly paragraph entitled "why you should back up your certificates.

• How to decrypt previously encrypted files when the certificate is lost

  I've already posted a question and received a response. I would now like to make additional comments on what I said in my previous question. Maybe I used the wrong term and said "my computer crashed." In fact the computer has successfully started as always, so I restarted for some reason, but this time, he was able to start, displaying "NTLDR is missing". Press CTR + ALT + DEL is not started the computer. I have do not reformat the hard disk, but simply to insert the CD of the OS to set up the operating system on the existing system. As part of the implementation, I did inadvertently in my name, when asked "who uses this computer" so I became a Director. In the previous original set-up the built-in administrator is the only Director; my name appeared as a user. Now when I check the local users in the Computer Management Console the built-in Administrator, the only Admin previously, and myself ERHAN KARABEKIR are displayed as properties for each user and users lists each of the two as a member of administrators. I want to come is I think I hope the previous built-in administrator could somehow be recovered. Am I too optimistic? Today, I disconnected to switch users, hoping that the built-in administrator would appear as a user so that I could open a session to be able to decrypt the files and folders encrypted. Unfortunately, he did not show I've been to ERHAN KARABEKIR, my present administrator account. Previously, the administrator displayed in users in the Panel was 'Administrator' and the guest account, without any name. I bought the computer with an operating system already installed. Now, my name is displayed as "administrator of the computer. Sorry for the long explanation.

  If you are lucky enough to make the administrator account is the original account whose profile includes the certificate required to access the encrypted files, then simply connect to your computer as 'administrator '.  You will not be able to see the administrator account on the logon screen if you have created another account.  To connect as an administrator, when you get to the login screen, hit Ctrl-Alt-Del twice.  You can then type "Admin" in user space and the password in the password space and log in as an administrator.

  Good luck

• How to upgrade the already encrypted files on the USB HDD with new XP Recovery certificate

  I backed up the files encrypted in My Documents on a USB drive on which these files are also encrypted state. My computer crashed so I reinstalled the operating system. I wanted to send records encrypted USB HD to my computer or tried to copy projecteurDu and paste them into My Documents. I could not do this because I got "an error occurred in the application...". access privilegesDo i., access is denied. "I created a new recovery certificate and put in place a recovery agent. From there how I update the previously encrypted files on th USB HDD with the new recovery certificate? I'd appreciate a step by step procedure. Can I select the USB drive in the command line and run cipher/u on this drive or make the command/u of encryption on the computer without connecting to the USB HDD

  Sorry to say that my bet is that you never gain access to these files again.

  When you created the files encrypted, Windows creates a key for decryption to access these files and stored, encrypted in your certificate store.  When your system crashed, the decryption key has crashed with it.  Without this key, you will never have access to your encrypted files.  If you have recovered from a backup image-style, you should be able to access these files.  If you've recovered by installing Windows from the installation disc, then you have created a new and different installation with different Secure ID (SID) and a certificate store empty.  A recovery agent will only retrieve encrypted files that were created after that recovery agent was in place - as a new certificate.  What you really need to do, it's your old certificate to restore the backup that you created when you started using EFS.  The following article is mandatory for anyone using the EFS file system.  Special attention to the paragraph entitled "why you should back up your certificates.

  "Best Practices for encrypting file system"
   <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/223316 >

  If you do not have a return to the top of your certificate, then things look dark.  There is a program called "AEFSDR' whose 'professional' version comes through what has not been overwritten on your hard drive in search of remains of certificates that could be delivered together to recover.

  Good luck

• I have encrypted files on my backup drive. Install the user on the status of CA for access? How?

  How should I keep my new user well that store the same name and all that stuff? If I can access encrypted files?

  If you do not back up your certificate, then you must connect to your machine using the original profile/user who created the encrypted files.  Then, you should back up your encryption certificate.  Then, log in as a new user and import that certificate into the backup that you created.  It is covered in the following Microsoft KB article.  Pay attention to the paragraphs "Why you should back up your certificates" and "how to back up your certificates.  If you cannot connect as the creator of the encrypted files and/or do not have a backup of the certificate, probably you have lost access to these files permanently.

• Impossible to decrypt encrypted files from the previous installation of Windows

  original title: decrypt the new windows file encrypted aftre

  I have a problem with decrypt file tha I ecrypt under windows and now my c: partition is formatted and my encrypted data cannot be decrypted

  Note: I use this method for encryption

  1. Right click on the file that you want to encrypt, and then click Properties.

  2. Click the general tab and then click Advanced.

  3. Select encrypt it the contents of the box to secure the data, click OK, and then click OK again.

  You can solve this problem for me

  If you encrypted the files/folders and transfer them to a new installation of XP, you can only decrypt using your original installation of XP encryption key.
   
  If this is the case, the key to decrypt these files was managed by Windows as a certificate in your certificate from your original installation store. These certificates are, in turn, encrypted to your Secure ID, your password and many other things.

  This information would be lost on a new XP installation.

  The easy way to restore access to your files is to restore your certificate from the backup that you have conscientiously performed pursuant to subsection 'Why you should back up your certificates' in the article:

  "Best practices for EFS file system.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/223316/en-us

  If you don't have a copy of your certificate, then you need to restore your old system from a backup connection, image-style and then retrieve your certificate.

  Otherwise, your data is history.  EFS is very secure and there is no back door.

  Because the instructions for encryption are often never read, understood and followed or the importance of backing up certificates
  is not followed or understood, the EFS was affectionately known as the 'delay of trash. "

  Allegedly, you may be able to hire a person specializing in the recovery of encrypted files to try to help you. Do not guess what the problem might be - understand and resolve it. I need YOUR voice and the points for helpful answers and propose responses. I'm saving for a pony!

  You back up your keys for encryption on removable media? If this is not the case, the data is probably lost. You can check with the people of Elcomsoft to see if their program can help you, but if not, then I'm sorry but it is a hard lesson for you use not encryption unless you know exactly what you are doing.

• Unlock an encrypted file

  Every day I get a pop up box that says: "the folder encryption: to unlock your encrypted file enter password: ' with a field for the password.  Problem is that I have never encrypted a file on my system, ever.  So, I wonder if it's someone who has had access to my office and doing something I'm not aware of (I just got an email a week ago in my spam to my email address, advertising Viagra... indicating somehow my system has been compromised) or if I just sort of something I'm not aware of.

  If it's someone pirate my system, not sure that not how to deal with.  I have Norton 360 installed and you run multiple full system scans but came the voids.

  I would not rely on Norton 360 to be sure that your computer is 100% clean. At least analyze with the free version of MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware , too.

  Then if the problem persists, the next time you get the context menu run the the Task Manager or free utility process monitor to see what is running on your system. You can also look under control panel > scheduled tasks to see if there is something related in here. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!
