Add Number to Harddrive Name?

I've always been curious as to why OSX changes the name of my harddrive
every now and then, adding the next integer to the name. My network name
changed from Alex to Alex 2 and is now up to Alex 6. Restoring the system
doesn't seem to do anything. It doesn't seem to affect anything, since the HD
on the desktop is still named Alex. It just shows up in various control panels.
Also, as a side issue, my harddrive icon disappeared and I've had to replace it
with an alias icon. Another trivial issue, but curious nonetheless.
Any ideas?
Mark

Great! Thanks!
And one more: Every now and then, my airport menu bar icon/drop-down goes
away and is replaced by "No Airport card installed", even though it's a macbook pro
with the card built-in and is operating fine. I've restored the system and repaired
the drive and permissions, and this symptom still comes back. It seemed to start
after I re-installed Unsanity's Windowshade X, but after restoring the system to a
prior version from TimeCapsule, it still comes back.
Any ideas?

  • How to add increment number to file name properly

    Hi, all:
    I have a simple question. As shown in the attached code, I need to add an increment number to file name and save the file. The problem is, if you run the code and put something like ".dat" in the extension name, you will see a blank space between the number and the dot in the file name. What should I do to eliminate the blank space? I can't specify the format of the file name since the file name would vary from case to case.
    Thanks a lot for any suggestion and correction in advance.

    Hi,
    Please take a look to the attached VI. I hope that I understood what you really want.
    I've replaced the Vi: Format into string with Number to Decimal String plus a Concatenate String. 
    Now, this is working for me, I don't get a space anymore.  If something is wrong, please let me know.
    Regards,
    Paul

  • Add number of business days to date field

    Hello, I noticed that there is not much discussion in the forum surrounding u201Cbusiness daysu201D so I hope this post/discussion/solution contributes to the content of this forum.
    I am using the following 3 formulas to try to Add number of business days (based upon a table field) to a specified date:
    1. Variable name = SetVar
    //Set Variable for Add Business Days:
    DateVar Array Holidays;
    DateVar Target:= CDate({TMS_MOVEMENT_EVT.EVT_DATE}); // Put your field name in here
    NumberVar Add:=  {DTCI_DOD_TRANS.TRANS}; // put the number of days here to add (a positive number)
    NumberVar Added := (0);
    2. Variable name = AddBizDays
    //Adding Business Days:
    EvaluateAfter({@SetVar});
    WHILE Added < Add
    Do (target := target +1;
        if dayofweek (target) in 2 to 6 and not (target in holidays)
            then Added:=Added+1
            else Added:=Added);
    Target
    3. Variable name = HOLIDAYS
    //Holiday Array Formula for the report Header:
    BeforeReadingRecords;
    DateVar Array Holidays := [
    Date (2003,12,25),   // you can put in as many lines for holidays as you want. 
    Date (2003,12,31)
    0
    I am successfully getting my data needed to make the necessary calculations and variable assignmentsu2026 I believe that my ISSUE is that I am not sure where to place these formulas into my report so they assign the variables and execute properly when previewing my report. I am curious if that is my issue, and if so, can someone provide me direction on where to put each of these formulas in my report.
    Currently, when I try to preview the report, I get the following Crystal Reports Error:  -u201CA number, currency amount, Boolean, date, time, date-time, or string is expected here.u201D
    Then Crystal automatically opens the AddBizDays formula and highlights the word added, see below RE: u201CWHILE Addedu201D
    For reference, my report has 3 groups, and I am displaying all of my output information (and locating my formulas) in the group footer #3 report section. I have moved them around to other report sections/groups/placements, but to no success.
    Thanks so much.
    Best, Matt

    I worked this out... FYI - for the benefit of all forum users:
    ADDING BUSINESS DAYS TO A CERTAIN DATE (excluding weekends and holidays)
    1. Variable name = AddBizDays
    //Adding Business Days:
    WhileReadingRecords;
    DateVar Array Holidays;
    DateVar Target:= CDate(); // Put your field name in here
    NumberVar Add:=  ; // put the number of days here to add (a positive number)
    NumberVar Added := (0);
    WHILE Added < Add
    Do (target := target +1;
        if dayofweek (target) in 2 to 6 and not (target in holidays)
            then Added:=Added+1
            else Added:=Added);
    Target
    2. Variable name = HOLIDAYS
    //Holiday Array Formula for the report Header:
    BeforeReadingRecords;
    DateVar Array Holidays := [
    Date (2003,12,25), // you can put in as many lines for holidays as you want.
    Date (2003,12,31)
    0

  • IOS 5.0.1 messages show phone number instead of names

    after the iOS 5.0.1 update, all my incoming and outgoing messages show phone number instead of names even though i have them in my contacts.
    i tried deleting previous messages, and restarting a new outoging msg to a specific number but when i start a new msg, after i add the contact, and i send it, it'll show the number instead of the person from my contact.
    anyone else having this issue and any possible solutions?
    also the number show up as +1 (951) XXX - XXXX
    +1 (area code) then the number.... instead of the name of the person in my contact.

    i went to the apple store and the tech told me the following:
    make sure you backup your photos, contacts, etc.
    the problem she said is due to a corrupt file for some iphones4s.
    1) sync your iphone with itunes
    2) do a restore and restore with a "new phone" instead of from backup
    3) your phone will be reset, but you'll have all your apps.
    after doing all this, your contacts and message should sync up.
    hope this helps.

  • Need to add number of days to users end date.

    Hi,
    I have a code where we are adding number of days(30) to current date and then updating user's end date in IDM DB.
    Now we have a requirement where we need to add number of days(30) to existing end date of user instead of adding to current date.
    *public String incrementDate(int daysToAdd)
         // Start date
         log.info("NotifyLastDayOfService::incrementDate(): Enter");
         SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd 00:00:00");
         Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
         c.add(Calendar.DATE, daysToAdd); // number of days to add
         String newDate = sdf.format(c.getTime());
         log.info("NotifyLastDayOfService::incrementDate(): Exit");
         return newDate;
    Have any body implemented this scenario?
    Please suggest.
    Thanks,

  • How to assign a unique number to the name column of a document set?

    How can I assign a unique number to the name column of a document set preferably with workflows? (Perhaps this number can increase by one each time a new document set is created)
    When a user attempts to create a new document set, this unique number should be already there as the name of the document set.
    (However, It seems that access and edit the Name column is more tricky than the other columns)

    Hi,
    To use document ID instead of Name column, you can
    Modify View and hide Name column. Then make Document ID to display at the left column.
    By default, document ID will be assigned to both document items and document sets. You may
    experience delay before you can see document ID assigned to existing document items and document sets because the scheduled document ID assignment timer jobs haven't finished yet.

  • Getting PO number as file name when getting output as pdf file

    Hi Experts,
    Is there any possibility to get PO number into file name (instead of spool number) when getting output as pdf file.
    Since I'm printing POs in batches (as pdf) it is too difficult to find exact PO among all the pdf files.
    If PO number maintained as file name, would be great time saver for me.
    Thanks
