Saving changed services in Automator with a new name.

Under SnowLeopard I could open an existing workflow, make some changes to it and save it as a new workflow service. In Lion there is no SAVE AS, so this procedure doesn't work.
I tried duplicating the workflow in the Finder and renaming it and opening it in Automator. The problem is; after making the changes and saving it, Services show it with the original name. That means both the original file and the duplicated/renamed file show up with the same name.
Is Automator creating an internal name for the file that can't be changed?
I had a service that moved files from one location to another. I created 5 duplicates of it and renamed them with the new location as part of I wanted to move file to. I made the changes to each with the new location as the place to move the selected files.
Now Services show six services with the original name and none with the new names.
Is anyone else having the same problem? I wish there were a way to force applications to do a SAVE AS.
I have also noticed that the DUPLICATE TO... doesn't give you an option to have to duplicated a new name.

For me the following works:
Open the servce you want to modify in Automator.
In Automator duplicate the workflow with File -> Duplicate.
Edit the duplicate.
Save it with File -> Save. You will be prompted for a new name.
Install the new service in ~/Library/Services and remove the old version.

    Try a Reset holding the Sleep button and the Home button together until Apple logo shows up and then wait for the Reset to return you to the lock-screen.   If you still don't have service check Settings>General>About and then scroll down to Carrier and see if your Service Provider is listed.

  • How can I save a pages document with a new name

    I often make changes to pages and numbers documents and save them with a new name. This seems to be impossible under LION. To remove the save as command is very shortsited. The only way I found to get around that is to save the changed document as a templete, remove the changes I made to the original document, Open a new document using the templete I just created, saving that document under the name I would have created using the save as command if it was still there, and then delete the templete. How in the **** is this better? Lion has disrupted almost everything I used to do in Snow Leopard.
    The only thing that syncs with mobile me is email. Everything else quit working. I reported the mobile me issue to Apple and am waiting for them to contact me.

    I think the issue is easy:
    1.- Try to go to the File Menu
    2.- Then hold down the Option Key
    3.- You will see in the File Menu (while you press the option key) the "save as" option.
    4.- Choose the "save as" option.
    5.- Choose the file where you want to save your document (you can choose any folder or sub foler in your mac or even iCloud). If you want to, you can even rename the open document where you are working in.
    I hope this would help

    That is wrong, (unless you have Mountain Lion), the correct answer is above, posted by deggie

  • How do you save a document with a new name?

    OK  I decided to go with Pages as my document editor on my iPad 2.  It seems to be powerful enough to do the kind of text editing that I need to do. I need some tables, a few graphics, headers, footers, etc.  You know the basic stuff.  I am not going to try to write a dissertation or thesis on my iPad, but I need to be able to write memos and some work documents.
    I am having a hard time learning the Apple way of doing things I guess.  Must be too many years on a PC using Microsoft Office.
    But I need to know how to open an existing document, make some changes and then save it with a new name so I don't overwrite my original document? Just a basic "Save As" function.
    Is this possible?  Or has Apple devised a way that I am just not seeing yet?

    Hi
    Someone maybe can tell you another/the right way of doing this but I do it this way. In pages press and hold the document until it wiggles and then select it by touching it so the orange border appears around it, then press the folder button at the top, the one with the + sign on it and this will create an exact copy on the documents screen. Then just open and edit that one thus preserving the content of the original.
    There may well be a better way, but hope this helps.

    Matt.

  • How to create a new database after copying an existing database with a new name

    hi
    i have an existing database and want to copy with a new name in sql server 2005 how do it is possible 
    spose
    i have a db name attached in sql server StoreManagementDB now i want to copy this database with all the transactions as StoreManagementDB_1.
    thanks

    Use a two steps to use a backup file to restore a database with a new name.
    ----You need to have a full backup of your database:
    --Step 1:
    RESTORE FILELISTONLY
    FROM DISK = 'C:\bk\TEST.BAK'
    --Find out the LogicalName of data file and log file
    -- in this case: the data file: TEST and the log file LogicalName: TEST_log
    --Both names will be used in the MOVE command
    --Step 2:
    -- Restore the files for test1.
    RESTORE DATABASE test1
    FROM DISK = 'C:\bk\TEST.BAK'
    WITH RECOVERY,
    MOVE 'TEST' TO 'C:\bk\test1_Data.mdf',
    MOVE 'TEST_log' TO 'C:\bk\test1_Log.ldf'
    GO

    Hello stephencadmaster,
    While you cannot transfer purchases to a different Apple ID, you can utilize Family Sharing. I've linked to an article that explains how to share content between Apple IDs using this feature:
    Family Sharing - Apple Support
    All your family’s purchases, on all your family’s devices.
    Once you’ve set up Family Sharing, all the eligible songs, albums, movies, TV shows, books, and apps ever purchased by family members are immediately available to everyone else in the family. And, of course, so are new purchases. The content appears automatically in the Purchased tab in iTunes, iBooks, or the App Store for each family member. Just select the family member whose collection you’d like to browse, then download and play the content you choose. Other family members can access your collection in the same way. If you want to keep some purchases private, you can choose to hide individual items.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    BobbyD

  • Powershell command to migrate Exchange 2007 mailbox databases with a legacy name, & import them into a new 2007 instance, with a new name.

    Hi All. I am currently at the later stage of provisioning a new CCR Exchange 2007 migration (to
    virtualise old Exchange 2007 hardware) for 5,000 users & have a quick question.
    I have created around 15 newly named storage groups, & have named 1 new DB per group, with the same name (let's say New-DB-1), residing within them.  The problem I have, is the old legacy DB's have different names (let's say Old-DB-1) & I need
    to import them into the new storage groups, to match the new names. So far I can import/export between old & new OK if both old & new DB names\folders etc. names marry up perfectly, but are unable to if there not the same. Does anyone have any thoughts
    on how best to tackle this, as this is one of the final hurdles stopping the migration? Many Thanks, John 

    Hi All
    Many Thanks for the feedback.
    The terminology 'migrate' was used based around the fact I will be decommissioning the old 2007 physical environment. This is after moving all DB's over to the new newly created Virtual environment that will host all roles.
    The solution I ended up using yesterday, was the following:
    1) Dismounted the relevant named DB (NEWDB) in the new environment.
    2) I then ticked the 'This database can be overwritten by a restore option' box.
    3) Copied over the old named DB (OLDDB) to the same location, & overwrote using the new name (NEWDB).
    4) Re-mounted the (NEWDB).
    5) Ran the following 2 PowerShell commands:
     Get-mailbox –database OLDDB | move-mailbox –targetdatabase NEWDB -configurationonly:$true
     Get-MailboxDatabase NEWDB | ResetSearchIndex.ps1 -force
    6) Checked to make sure the clients were working ok, in the now the new (NEWDB) environment.
    Rich: Many thanks for your PS script, which I will test with future DB moves & provide feedback
    J
    John.

  • Forced to save document with another new name?

    When I scan a document to a pdf, I open it and OCR the document.  It then tells me that I need to save the document with another name as the document is opened someplace else.  this is not true.  If I open a pdf and add a page to it, it tells me again that I need to save the document with a different name.  What is causing this problem?

    This cannot be done in Reader. Are you using Acrobat?

  • How do i change the white background with the new ios7?

    I just upgraded my iPad mini to iOS7 and now my videos are not titled, or the letters are white and are invisible against the new white background. How can I change this??

    It is rediculous,
    up to IOS6 the iPhone was a perfect device for someone with low vision, well structured, good contrast and readable fonts.
    But things got "improved". What a pitty that Apple has given away that benefit for a lightweight design which reduces ergonomics drastically. Now IOS is SW where design dominates usability.
    Yes, you can use larger fonts, yes, you can use fat fonts but that does not change the keyboard layout.
    It startet in IOS6 with the update of the keypad for the phone application (thin black keys on a flashing white background) and is continued with the vision unfriendly design from IOS7.
    Please, have the flashing white background configurable so a structuring reappears or have the background configurable to white or black.

  • Schedule Service Orders autom. with workforce management

    Hi all!
    We are using CRM5.0 with Workforce Deployment to implement some schedule rules to service orders.
    I have some questions that I'd like to have an answer:
    1. HOW TO TRIGGER
    Does anybody know whether it is possible to trigger an automatic scheduling of Service Orders with the Workforce Management rules? How can it be made using ABAP code (trigger by PPF actions)?
    2. WORKLOAD DEPENDING ON SUBJECT CODE
    The idea would be to add weights to the service order subject.
    For example, if:
    . Employee A has 2 tickets assigned to him related with "New products", which has weight 4 -> Workload 8
    And:
    . Employee B has one ticket assigned to him with subject code "New contract" with weight 10 -> Workload 10
    Then if a new service order appears, it should be scheduled automatically to employee A.
    Thank you!

    Jothi,
    Check whether RFC destinations are created for WFM  in SM59. Since u want to synch employees from CRM to WFM,choose ALL BUSINESS PARTNERS(MESG) as the subscription object and select all business transactions as replication objects in publication.
    Make sure, u create the logical system before u create site for WFM in SMOEAC.
    Lemme know if u have any questions.
    Thanks
