Changed all my photos names by accident..

By accident I changed all my photos names. All my 30.000 pictures have the same name now.( with different numbers at the end.) How can I fixe this. I have an old back up catalogue with the right names. Or is my only option to copy my back up from my external hard drive to my computer and synchronise it in lightroom..
is there anyone hiow can help me??

If you changed these file names by accident in your operating system, I think your only choice is to move the backup photos to the exact same folders where the original photos are located.

How do I do a mass change of face names in iphoto? For example, I have 500 pictures named Michelle Smith, but she is married and is now Michelle Johnson. How do I change all the photo face names to the new name en masse?

You edit the name in the Corkboard view.

With Apple Remote Desktop How can I change all the computer names

After a re-imaging session?. I would like to not have to visit each station and manually change the computer name.
Is this at all possible using ARD?

Hi
I don't use DeployStudio and know nothing about it. In terms of simply changing the names? Yes. Clearly not in the same way. You could use what's built-in on OSX Server if you have it? System Image Utility allows creation of nbis with an associated workflow that can define workstation names from a pre-prepared list of MAC Addresses and desired names as a Post-Install Action.
This is fairly well-documented in the Server Forum and elsewhere.

Update changed all photos to icons

I updated my phone this morning, first cyan and then denim.
I newer updated before. The update have changed all my photos to different icons.
Is there anyway i can get my photos back?
I havent saved them anywhere than my phone.
Thank you

Hello, capriole. Welcome to the Microsoft Mobile Community! Do you mean the phone only shows icons instead of thumbnails of the actual photos you have in it? Is it possible for you to share some screenshots of the icons you see? What's the exact model of your mobile device? Have you tried checking if your pictures can still be accessed using a PC via USB connection?
Since the issue happened after the SW update, have you verified if the system apps have been updated as well? To confirm it, go to your phone's settings > swipe to applications > store > check for updates.
Let us know how it will go.

Changing the default domain name of the server.

I know this is not the correct title for the topic. but its the best word i could found on my voculabary.
here's my problem.
Im using Sun App Server 9. the server is installed in the local machine. for testing purposes client access from the local server is sufficient. I deployed a web service using net beans 5.5. My problem is that the WSDL file is generated (by server) uses a fully qualified domain name rather than localhost. for example it uses http://mlb.stdmlb.sliit.lk:8080. When i try to create a client using netbeans it tries to access the server using this address (the one in the WSDL) but the firewall denies access to port 8080. Therefore i want to use the server to use localhost rather than the long domai name. (at least http://mlb) Can anyone tell me how to configure this?

These are the steps for changing domain name & IP address without reinstall
a) Stop the Gateway and Server .
b) Export the profile server database to a flat ldif file:
# /opt/netscape/directory4/slapd-host_name/db2ldif /temp/profile.ldif
c) Use awk, perl, or vi, to change every instance of the system domainname in the ldif file to that of the new system.
d) Import the edited ldif file into the profile server on the new machine:
# /opt/netscape/directory4/slapd-/ldif2db -i /temp/profile.ldif
e) edit etc/opt/SUNWips/platform.conf and change all the domain name & Ip address
f) edit /etc/opt/SUNWips/properties.file change the domain name
g) Start the platform server and gateway on the new machine.

Photo names but no photo preview....

All of the sudden, when I click on the Photos tab in iMovie, I can see all the photo names, but only some of the photos actually preview. Also, I can't click on the photos that don't also preview.
I've done nothing to my iPhotos that I can think of... I can boot to my external drive which is a mirror (cloned copy) of my internal and they all show up.
Any ideas on what is causing this? I've done the Cocktail, Diskwarrior and TechTool Pro stuff to no avail.
I grabbed a picture in case anyone would like to know what I'm talking about.

File name is iMoviePhotos_NoShow

Thanks! That worked! Two things to note: I didn't have grayed out photos in iPhotos, just all the sudden viewing photos from within iMovie; launching iMovie immediately after apply the rebuild did not resolve the problem. I was thinking the fix didn't work but the next time I opened iMovie, there were all the photos.
Thanks again for helping me!

I just created a new iPhoto library with holding the option key down and then opening iPhoto with version 7.1.5. I changed the name of the first library to iPhoto library 1 and now I all my photos are gone. My operating system is Mavericks.

launch iPhoto wile holding down the option key and select the original library - when you create a new library of course it is empty
And you seriously need to backup your iPhoto library and purchase and install iPhoto '11 version 9.5.x from the App store and download and run the iPhoto library upgraded \then run the new iPhoto - 7.1.5 is not fully compatible with Mavericks

PS you also need to update your profile - it states that you have OS X 10.6.8

Changing Photo Name

I find it hard to believe there is no way to change the name of a photo once it is imported into iWeb. But so far, I cannot find a way. I do not see this as a problem on the web page itself, but if someone downloads the photo, they'll get the original name. A few of which are embarrassing.
How can I change the photo name besides starting all over?

Yes,
You need to run the script right after each time you publish to folder.
The script will look for photo page(s) in the published folder and apply photo captions to the published photo file names, and re-link the new photo names in the .js file (this is for the slideshow).
There is one thing though, I wrote the script to pad out any spaces in the captions with underscore.
Example: caption: "Twisted tree 1" , the script will name the file to "Twistedtree1.jpg" . The reason is that many FTP servers don't like spaces in file name.
You can get there script here: iWeb Photos Rename
I will post in another thread for this fix.

When exporting from Photos, the panel for naming the file no longer shows up. Why and how do I change so I can name the file what I want?

You don't need to maintain all versions of the upgrade chain, but many of us do in case we need to work on a legacy file. If you want to rmove a version, though, ti should be done BEFORE installing the later one. Just reinstall CS5 and things should get back to normal.

Batch Changing Photo Names and E-mailing them

Hi
I batch change my photos names in Iphoto to text (I think it is.) So I can date or name events. However when I e-mail the photos to a friend, he receives them with the original numbers that my digital camera had assigned to them.
When I look back to my sent mail folder, the photos are how I had re-named them with the batch change.
I don't get it, can I get some help here as to how I can e-mail photos and have them arrive with their modified names.
Thanks
T. Rod

T. Rod:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You will have to export those photos to a folder on the Desktop with the option to use the Title as the new file name. Then add them to the email. That's the only way to get files with the title as the file name.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

I Lost all my photos in iPhoto by upgrading and clicking on the wrong Library when restarting.... I also deleted iLibrary on accident because I thought it was just a pointless Logo in my Pictures folder! How do I get them Back?!!

I was trying to clean up my computer and put things on my exteranl hard drive and then delete the items off my computer. When I was going through the pictures I saw a file named "iLibrary" and just saw a little picture for it, so I deleted that as well..... Later on, when I was trying to show my events in the Finder There was a problem and no pictures were showing up, just empty Events. So I went to the dock and quit iPhoto. When I re-clicked it to open again iPhoto asked me if I wanted to upgrade iPhoto, So I clicked yes, then hesitated. "What if all my pictures get deleted' I thought. Then it asked me where I wanted to re-open from and I just click open to the Library that was the 'default'. It was also the ONLY option to click! When it opened I didn't have any of my photos any more. Just a couple events it had selected from my external hard drive!!! I heard I could recover all my photos by going to the Finder and clicking on Pictures then right clicking on iLibrary then go to "Show Package Contents". Unfortunently like I mentioned earlier I had just previously DELETED that!!! It doesn't end there either, just to make matters worse, I "Emptied" the TRASH CAN TOO!! Now what do I do?? I just had a baby 8 weeks ago and ALL ALL ALL the pictures were on there! I was starting to save them to my external hard drive when all this happened! Someone PLEASE help me!!

Do you have a back up?
If not you're into using file recovery software like File Salvage - you can download a free trial and it will scan the disk for you and tell you with might be recoverable. Actual recovery will require that you purchase the app. There may be many files with the same or similar names. Always recover the largest file size.
There are other such apps. Search on Macupdate or the App Store

I have all my photos both in the photo library by date and as events . When I open I-photo in either format there are just empty rectangles with names. If I click the photo appears. This was not like this before. How can I get it back so that I can see th

I have all my photos organized in i-photo as both photos and events. When I opened in the past the images in each event or album appeared as icons on the sreen. Now when I open I only get a dotted line rectangle and only if I click I see the picture, which is really problematic when trying to see or select nay image.
I don't know if mistakenly I did something with the settings although I couls not find anything in preferences or any of the menus that could relate to this.

Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto thumbnails - this may take several tries
Also what version of iPhoto? What recently changed?

I'm editing a lot of wedding photos. For some reason, I have to double click on some of the photos to actually see my changes. It is not the case for all the photos in the folder.... only some of them. How can I make all the edited versions show?

I am editing a bunch of wedding photos. Everything has been fine until today..... I opened up the folder, and for some of the edited photos, I have to double click in order to see the edited version. So, when I look at all the photos in the browser, some of then show my changes..... others don't. I'm worried, because I will have to post them for the bride, and I am concerned about why this is happening. I still have the images on the memory card and also have a duplicate of all the photos in iphoto..... but I've spent hours editing these photos...... and I really don't want to start all over again.
