Batch Rename... how do I keep the version number [NOT the version name]?

Hi!
I've finally made up my mind about renaming my img. names in Aperture, and I would like to have something like "Travel San Francisco 2005 version x 1.CR2", where "version x" is the number which Aperture automatically adds whenever I make a change to an image. This is then followed by a number which automatically increases by one for every new image: 1, 2, 3, 4... etc. until there are no more images to choose from in the current project.
My problem is that I cannot figure out how to get Aperture to keep the, for me, very helpful "version 1, 2, ..." info attached to the images during renaming. In the Batch rename dialog box I am able to choose "Version Name" but that only gives me the current name of the selected image which I do not want. Aperture just replaces the "version x" in the image name.
Can anyone help me, or am I asking for something that cannot be done in Aperture?
Kind regards

HI, there:
I like answering these easy ones. Too often the questions regarding Aperture can't be solved as of yet becasue it's a bug or a lacking feature.
Anyway, when you import your files, look for the sidebar that has all the options on it. Look for a spot that says "Name Format." When you get there, there should be a drop down menu that will allow you to choose a variety of options. One of the options is "custom name with counter." Aperture will automatically assign each image a custom name and a numerical number starting with 1 and incrementing by 1 for a maximum of 999. You can change the options for this by selecting "edit" from the drop down menu.
Cheers

How can you keep the file name when using "Download Linked File As..."?

I'm a longtime PC user finally making the transition to Mac. Some of the tasks that seemed so simple in Windows have really stumped me! One of the tasks I do frequently is download files into specific folders. After much looking, I finally found the "Download Linked File As..." option if I right-click on the download link. The problem is, when I choose this option, I lose the file name. I get a window in which I can choose the desired folder, but the filename is always "0". If I want to keep the filename (and I usually do), I have to type it in manually. Is there anyway around this?

Just checked on 10.7.4+, still the same, something is borked about your install, to see if we need to re-install...
To find out if it's system wide or user specific, try this...
Open System Preferences>Accounts, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.
Does it work in the new account?

How can I keep the column names in view on long spreadsheets?

I want to be able to see the column header names on long spreadsheets. In Excel you can create multiple panes in the window so as to keep both column and row headers in view. Any way to do this in numbers?

In Numbers 09 there is a similar feature; Freeze Header Row, or Column. It's only available in the Sheet View mode. In Print View mode, you can choose to Repeat Header on each page.
The controls are included in the Format Bar and Table Inspector, Heaader and Footer controls.

Compressor: How do you keep the file name the same?

Hello,
I am wondering if there is a way in Compressor to compress a file WITHOUT changing its name. I don't want the spacifics in the new media title
For instance, A007_C010_0216HX.mov becomes A007_C010_0216HX-Apple ProRes 422.mov
Thank you!

I am doing this on Compressor 4, but believe this also applies to Compressor 3 - create a new custom destination.
When you create that new custom destination you will be given the option of the naming convention you want to use:
Default destination includes appended name:
Custon Destination does not:
Once you have set that up, make that custom destination the default by changing the default destination in Compressor preferences.

How to hide the file name (the bizarre number assigned by the camera) when exporting an image version in aperture from an album. Pl understand I want to keep the file name in the project library version.

how to hide the file name (the bizarre number assigned by the camera) when exporting an image version in aperture from an album. Pl understand I want to keep the file name in the project library version.

Within Aperture you have Images, which are constructed on-the-fly from two files (the Master and the Version). You get an image-format file _only_ when you export an Image. You select the file name (usually a scheme) when you create an image-format file (that is, when you export). Look under "Aperture→Presets→File Naming" for built-in Presets. You can, of course, create your own or customize any provided.
The Preset is applied to only the file newly created by your "export" command. It is not applied to the Image in Aperture (unless you rename your Versions or your Masters).

If you're talking about closing running apps, they changed it up a bit from iOS6. Now you just double click the home button to bring up the running apps, side scroll to the app you want to close, then just swipe up.

How do i keep the original manual sort of my photos that i had in previous library after a rebuild in iphoto library manager?

how do i keep the original manual sort of my photos that i had in previous library after a rebuild in iphoto library manager? and keep the events in the same order with blank events also

Not sure you can.
Library Manager creates an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.

Lightroom 5 make adjustments want to transfer to photo shop to make additional adjustments. how do you keep the adjustments made in lr5 when photo is transferred to photo shop

lightroom 5 make adjustments want to transfer to photo shop to make additional adjustments. how do you keep the adjustments made in lightroom 5 when photo is transferred to photo shop
I am not able to keep the changes made in light room when I transfer to photo shop

Something you need to understand. Unless you are using the latest version of Photoshop Elements, it's possible that some of the adjustments that you make in Lightroom won't transfer to Elements if you choose the option to open anyway. If you choose the option to edit a copy with Lightroom adjustments then Lightroom will create a TIF or PSD file (depending on your preferences), and that file will include all of the adjustments that you have made using Lightroom. Then you can finish your work in Photoshop Elements.
The process of transferring an image from Lightroom to Photoshop or Photoshop Elements involves the Camera Raw plug-in. It has to be used to interpret the Lightroom adjustments and apply those adjustments to the image after it has been converted. Files open in Elements or Photoshop or no longer raw images because those programs are incapable of editing raw image data. I don't know if this will help you in this situation. Feel free to ask if you have more questions.

Re-install How do I keep the licenses for software such as iWork

Hi,
I am considering doing a reformat and installation of my MacBook Pro. It came with Tiger and I have purchased/installed Leopard(family version) and iWork(family version).
How do I keep the licenses for these products and still keep the used count the same? I don't want to purchase new licenses because I had to rebuild my computer.
Thanks

There is no "tracking" of installations. With a "Family Pack", you have agreed to install on no more than five computers at any given time. It's up to you to honor the agreement. You can reinstall as many times as you wish or need as long as you limit your installations to five computers within your household at any given time.

Johnnyontherocks it is likely you installed an updated version of the Adobe Application Manager. Remove all copies of Adobe Creative software from the computer and reinstall to downgrade the installation.

If nothing works, you most likely have a hardware failure. Make an appointment at an Apple store to confirm.

How do you keep the same URL connection connected continuously?

I am trying to extract information from a web page, but it puts a cust_id in the middle of the URL. It generates the cust_id randomly everytime you use the site. I connect to the initial URL to find the cust_id, I substring that to the new URL and then make a new connection to extract the information, but the web page gives me an error saying that it doesn't recognise the cust_id. As if it was a new connection with the wrong cust_id.
How can I keep the first connection open and with the same cust_id information and then jump to another web page but using the initial connection. Using IE6 I can just cut and paste the second URL and get to the page, but with my java application it doesn?t work. Please have a look at my code and let me know if I am doing anything wrong.

I have had to semi-reset and reinstall my hp6500a plus. How do I keep the same eprint email address?

I have had a network blowup and a new computer and was told to do a semi-reset and full install on my Inkjet hp6500a plus. How do I keep the same eprint email address which I have given out to a number of people? When I did the install I seem to have been re-assigned a new @hpprint address and can't find how to change it back.

Hi,
I affraid you will not be able to use the same address.
Due to security reasons any removed ePrint address (due to Web Services removal, product reset or product replacement) is blocked for any user for 6 months period.
You may select a difference customized address by following the steps below:
