Private Myspace Profile - Comments Page 1

It IS now possible to set your profile to private regardless of what age, and without lying. Go to: Account Settings, then click on "Privacy Settings". Under "Who can view my full profile" select "My friends only."

Now, strangers can only see your basic info, which is your picture, where you're from, age, and last login. Your location you can hide by simply not entering it in.

To hide your location go to: Edit profile, click on: Basic Info, and delete your location. If you don't want strangers knowing what you look like, simply change your default picture to any image you want. After that you're totally incognito!

EDITOR'S NOTE:Thanks for the update. This feature was long overdue!

hi! uhm i was wondering, is it possible to see a private profile without adding that person?

EDITOR'S NOTE: As far as I know, the owner of the private profile must add YOU as a friend before you can view their profile.

Is there a way to hack into some ones myspace? There's an ex-friend of mine and she hacked into mine, now I can't get it back. Can u help me?

EDITOR'S NOTE: NO. If there was a way to hack into a Myspace profile, it would be plastered all over the Internet. Everyone would know it. The only 'hack' that exists is guessing someone's password.

There's lots of hacks out there. Well, things you can do anyways. For example you can read any blog set to private simply by changing the .view to .edit in the URL of said blog. Search for it on google.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Looks like this bug was (mostly) fixed by Myspace. If you list the entries in a Myspace blog, it will not show the private ones. So there's no way to get the "view" URL of the private entries (unless you bookmarked it before it was marked as private, which seems unlikely).

Hi, i want my profile to be avalible for everyone too see how do it do this?

EDITOR'S NOTE: By default, your profile WILL be open to all. You can make it private (or change back to public) by logging into your account, then click on Account Settings

and then Privacy Settings.

I want to make my myspace background a picture of me. Everytime i try to do that it says to enter the Picture URL. How do i get the picture URL? Please helpp mee! Thanks so so much.

EDITOR'S NOTE: The picture URL is the web address of the photo after you have uploaded it from your hard drive to the web.

I am wanting to have two pictures as a default. How is this accomplished.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Ummm, default means one particular item. You have to pick one. Have you seen a profile with two pics in the usual spot?

Okay.. I have two profiles, both set to private because of my ex-husband. I have the cities different from my actual city, and i had my friends list hidden on one. He apparently found a way into this as he called me and listed off all of my friends on each one. I asked him how he did this, and he said, "there are ways around it". How is this possible?? And is there anyway to prevent him from doing this again? This is a little scary.. he supposedly got to one of my profiles through another friend whose site is also set to private.. but he has the page bookmarked. How can he do this? Any help is appreciated.. thanks..

EDITOR'S NOTE: First, a "hidden" friends list is not really hidden. If you view the source of the page, everything is right there in plain view. Second, if I have access to the profile of any of your Myspace friends, I can see what you are writing to them, because it's right there on those pages. A little clicking from profile to profile, and you can do quite a bit of snooping.

how do i make it so people who arent my friends cannot see my picture? i still want to keep it on for my friends to see though, i did it on facebook just cant find out on myspace.

EDITOR'S NOTE: I don't think you can turn that off with Myspace. You could put no photo on the profile, then add it manually in one of the profile sections with an IMG tag. Then only friends would see it.

Another way to block your profile picture from being seen by anyone except your friends is to delete your default profile picture and re-upload it to your profile. When you delete your main default photo without selecting another to take its place, it automatically does not post another picture unless you click on the radio button underneath another picture to do so.

I noticed that on some people's private page you can view their music player or the song they have on their profile. How do you do that?. My page is private but it would be cool if people can hear the song im playing without being able to view my profile.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Nifty... give me an example and I'll dig into it!

I am having trouble making a new account on myspace. Whenever I fill out the form for a profile it sends me back to the form and says that an error has occured. Everything was still on the form except for my password and confirm password. I have used the same email address before because my profile was deleted because of spam. Please help!

EDITOR'S NOTE: Perhaps your email address is flagged and you cannot create another account with it? Try another email address.

Is there really a way to view what myspace members are vewing your myspace profile? I understand about an IP tracker, but I don't know who's IP addresses they belong to. Is there anything out there that will allow me to view the myspace profile of whom ever is viewing my own myspace profile? Thanks for your help!

EDITOR'S NOTE: There are some so-called Myspace Trackers, but they only work in certain circumstances. If you are not logged in to Myspace, all it can report is your IP, which (sometimes) give a rough estimate of a user's geographical location. Also, many ISPs issue dynamic IPs which change every time a user logs on.

well i was wondering how can u hide your comments so that no1 can view them except for you? that would be greatly appreciated

EDITOR'S NOTE: You can't. All the hiding tricks are superficial and can be easily defeated.

HOW DO YOU JUST BLOCK YOUR FRIEND LIST FROM EVERYONE INCLUDING FRIENDS.

EDITOR'S NOTE: The only way is to have no friends.

On myspace none of my friends on there can post a comment or view my pictures, do you know why this could be? i would be greatful if you could find out the reason.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Did you disable/block those in your profile security settings?

Is there a way to hack so you can view someone's profile if it is set to private or preferred? I really need to do this because I can't view a blog which is titled "murder" and I need to see this since I am concerned about this.

EDITOR'S NOTE: See http://www.askbobrankin.com/view_private_profile.html

i have a my space music that i use to put up songs ive written but i dont want it to be an open page. can i put it on private?

EDITOR'S NOTE: Yes, but only "friends" will be able to see it. BTW, here are some FREE Capital Letters for you, since you seem to out... ABC DEF GHI JKL MNO PQR STUV WXYZ. Enjoy!

i forgot my myspace username and password....can sum 1 give me theirs?

EDITOR'S NOTE: Sure, you can have mine! The login is Luzer@aol.com and the password is PrettyPinkPuppy.

okay. if someone hides their music on their page,is there any way possible i can find out who sings it?!

EDITOR'S NOTE: Sure, just UNHIDE the page! Open the page in Firefox browser, select View -> Page Style -> No Style. Now EVERYTHING is visible, and you'll see the song name in the player.
