Batch Change Version name to use Caption - for MobileMe Gallery

Hi, is there a way to batch change the version name files (which is what MobileMe can use to display under the picture) to use the Caption? The Caption is what I believe is/can be used in the regular galleries/web pages exported from Aperture, MobileMe seems to work a bit differently...
Thanks for thoughts.

Jonas,
I don't believe that can be done with any procedure supplied with Aperture. Settings for a MobileMe Album only provides the choice of Filename or no filename. Whether there is a hack somewhere to switch Filename and Caption, en masse', I do not know.

Any way to stop facebook exporter from using version names as the caption

I tried the Aperture 3 facebook export and it is using the version names as the caption. If I change the caption on facebook it then changes the version name in my aperture library when it syncs with facebook. Is there anyway to have it use the caption meta data field instead? You would think if they had that option for mobile me they would have it for FB too.

Add me to the list of people interested by this issue - but AFAIK there is no way to change this. Let's hope Apple fixes this soon.

Iphone 4s - how do I change the name in the contacts for the owner of the phone - it is coming up as the other person who uses the laptop - so when ringing or texting anyone 2 names are being used as the caller id on the screen

Do you mean a trial account from .Mac? (DotMac)
"Get an AIM Screen name and set it to Display what you want as you set it up.
The Screen name can be whatever yu want but you can also set it to display something else as well."
I had thought about this, but it seems other people have already chosen the screen name "pinksharkmark" and virtually every variation of it I can think of. So that isn't an option for me. As for getting it to display something else as well, do you mean that if I were to get an AIM screen name like "CromulentCat" I could somehow log in to iChat under the AIM account "CromulentCat" yet get iChat to represent me to my Buddies as "PinkSharkMark"? Because I have to admit I don't see how that can be done. It appears as if iChat displays to anyone chatting with you precisely the account name you logged in under and nothing else. So if you logged in using a .Mac account, then you are displayed as "[email protected]" while if you logged in under an AIM account, you are displayed as "CromulentCat". But that's it that's all... there is no way to change CromulentCat to PinkSharkMark.
Thanks very much for taking the time to reply, though.

Tagging Photos That Have Been Used in a Mobileme Gallery

Hello there. Does anyone have any tips on tagging photos in their Aperture library that they've used in a mobileme gallery? I've had problems with a green cast appearing on images in one of my mobileme galleries and I wanted to delete this gallery and re-upload it without having to select all the images again and creating the gallery from scratch. Does anyone know if there is a way of finding which images have been used in a gallery or would I have to manually tag them in some way so I know which images have been used in a gallery. Thank you

Your Mobileme galleries should be listed in the library pane on the left. How about creating a new album in the main library and dragging the images from a gallery to the album. Then delete the gallery and recreate it from the album.

I want to change my name on my outgoing ID. I want to use my professional name rather than the name i use only for legal purposes as that is how people know me

my friends and clients know me as Jeanette Vonier
this is also on all my bank accounts
I use my birth name Jeanette Stringham only for legal documents and credit cards.
I prefer to have my professional name Jeanette Vonier show as my id on messages.
however the thunderbird mail through gandhi.net inserted the professional id instead and I cannot figure out how to change that. as a consequence my emails may be flagged as spam or go unopened.
please advise how I may correct that and change the name showing up.

The way to change what ever people see when they get your email is to set up your email the way you want to. '''Modzilla''' defaults to the name that you use for your computer.
'''Open Modzilla''' go to tools then '''account settings''' When that page opens you will see your name as it appears on your email and your email address you can change any of this if you want and even create a signature which can be really cool if you know some basic HTML

I have changed the name I use for my Apple ID. How do I change it on my iPhone?

I resolved this and do not know how to remove or cancel it. Please ignore.

Did you change the email address of your existing Apple ID, or did you create a totally new Apple ID? Assuming that you did it correctly and just changed the email address on your Apple ID, go to Settings/iCloud and turn off Find my iPhone. You will need the passcode for the OLD email address to do this. Then log out of iCloud on the phone. Log in with the changed address. Do the same for Settings/messages, Settings/Facetime and Settings/iTunes&App Store.

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.

Batch change file names

How can I batch change all my file names?

I am having a similar problem in Lr4. I made the mistake of not specifying a custom name at the beginning of a big import and I now have hundreds of photographs called "untitled_date_picture name_sequence.dng" I have created a custom renaming action that I normally use for all imports except this time I forgot to specify the custom text part at the beginning of the file string.
I cannot see how I can now batch change the "untitled" part only to show correctly. If I try and create a new renaming action by adapting a custom action i.e. by making the following:
Peru_Date_File Name (or Original File Name)_Sequence, the 'file name' part is replaced by "untitiled_111002_P1000245_12" for example. I am guessing that this is becasue the 'file name' is the entire string and not just the P1000245 part only which is the name created by the camera.
Any ideas how I can batch change the 'untitled' bit only or do I have to reimport the photos all over again?
Alternatively, is there a way to do this with the file names in Finder? I'm on a Mac by the way.
Many thanks
Chris

Can I batch-change country names in Address Book?

I want to change all my country names to CAPITALS in Address Book. Is there a way to do this using a batch-change or batch-edit of some kind? (I have thousands of entries that I want to change.)
Many thanks in advance for any help offered.

No, sorry, there is no such feature in Address Book. Perhaps a third-party contact application would have that feature.
Regards.

Changing version name in Aperture?

anyone know how, if possible, to change the version name after a botched import?
Also I'm wondering if it is ok to post technical questions here since I never received any replies to my last (Oct) tech question
Thanks

And just remember changing the VERSION name does not automatically change the FILE name on your hard drive. File names can only be changed upon moving files in or out of the Aperture library. So, I always initially import every shoot into Aperture's Library and keep the files as MANAGED. During this import I make no changes to the file name. I then delete the bad images, rearrange any images if desired, then do a batch operation to change the version names (Metadata>Batch Change). Then I RELOCATE MASTERS (File>Relocate Masters) to move the files out of the Aperture Library to their final home on another drive. During this relocation process two things happen:
1. The actual file names are changed from the ones given by the camera to the version names I gave them in Aperture.
2. The files turn from being Managed to Referenced.
The result is that the file names on my hard drive match the version names in Aperture.
One of my hopes for Aperture 2.0 is to be able to rename actual file names from within Aperture, without having to do it by moving the files.

How do I change the name that shows up for my email account . I don't want to change the email address, just my personal name that shows who the email is from.

Hi There
My apple account was in my partners name , I have now changed it to my name .
The problem is my icloud email still shows up his name at the beginning of my email address. eg Jo Blogg ( [email protected] ) .
When I open up Icloud in browser it shows in the top right my correct name , but when I go into Account settings on Mac in the Mail it shows up my
partners name as the Full Name associated with the account . It doesn't give you the option of changing that name though.
I hope I have explained this properly and someone can help ?
Cheers
Lizzeee

Hey There I didn't need to change it as it shows my correct name in my icloud account. The problem is on my Mac where it still shows my Full name as my partners name.
For eg. if I send an email from "Mail" on mac and I use my icloud account then the name that shows up is my partners name when the email is received. If I send an email from the Icloud Mail box that I log into on my browser then the name that shows up when the email is received is my name which is correct.
When I go into preferences in "Mail" on my Mac to change my name, the name is ghosted out and doesn't allow me to change it ! ? It is here that it still show my partners name ?

How to change the name of the column for dynamic query

I would like to change the name of the column name to bidderone, biddertwo and bidderthree. the only problem is the vendors name unknown when I run the query and sometimes the query returns two vendors. the maximum vendor is three. here is the query and please let me know how this can be done. thank you so much.

thank you so so much for your help on this. I am sorry i did not post the entire code. my intention is to use bidderone, biddertwo,bidderthree as a column name insead of the name of the vendors and also calcuate the average of the three vendors. the maximum vendor will be three but the minumum could be one or two. hope this is enought information to help me out further . thank you

Change calendar name first in ical or mobileMe?

I've consolidated some calendars into one "new test" calendar. checked and triple checked to make sure everything i want is in that one calendar.
i want to change the name of that calendar. it's synced with the new mobileMe calendar.
do i change the name on mobileme? or in iCal? both places? and if that's so, which one first? I don't wanna screw this up and have to go thru the considerably work i did to finally get the calendar in the shape i want it in.
thanks

Yeah, me too. After lots more reading and poking I was still reluctant to change in either location. So I called MobileMe support and they said change it in either place. The techie and I agreed it might make more sense to change it in the Cloud. I did, and within minutes the calendar names had also changed (with all data intact) in both iCal and BusyCal.
I use the latter because it puts icons in events that have alarms/alerts set. Maybe i said so before, but iCal used to do that and the (useful) feature was inexplicably deleted. I say inexplicably because not even the apple gurus at the apple booth back when apple had a presence at MWSF, could explain the deletion. Several of them seemed surprised when i told them--and then had to show them!

No captions in MobileMe gallery?

Is there no way to publish a MobileMe gallery with pics that have captions underneath them? I wrote the captions in the info pane of each pic in iPhoto, but when I published, the captions were not there. I hope I'm missing something, because not being able to post captions is ridiculous.

MM:
There is a way to do what you want. It involves running an Applescript that replaces the photo's title with the captions before you publish. You can then revert the titles back to the file names with the Photos->Batch Change->Title to File Name menu option.
The Applescript can be found here (be sure to read the comments to the post to catch the error in the script): An AppleScript to copy iPhoto Description to Name
