Bridge Randomly Changed Appearance of Folder Names...

I searched for an answer to this problem for 10 minutes, but I couldn't find anything. So, here I am.
Ok, so, my copy of Bridge CS5 4.0.0.529 used to show the names of my folders very similar to how Finder does. Meaning that the name of the folder used to just be right under the folder itself.
Well now, all of a sudden and for no apparent reason, Bridge puts the name of my folder in a "bubble" like label OVER the folder. You may be thinking, "Wow, this guy is way too picky." Well, that's not the major problem. The major problem is that Bridge decided to do it for SOME folders, and not others. So, to find a folder, I now have to select one, and scroll left or right until I find the folder I want as it won't give me the name of the folder unless it is selected.
I'm losing my mind!
It will, however, show the name of all of the folders if I make the icons at the bottom, HUGE, but that's stupid. I don't want to make them huge. I prefer to have them small, and my images large. I also refuse to use Bridge in any mode besides Filmstrip. For me, it's the best way to use Bridge.
Can anybody help me get it back to the way it was?
Please?
Thank you so much for your time and help.

GOT IT! Just went up to "output" and hit "reset standard workspaces".
If I may add a few observations:
The behavior you are showing in the screenshots is typical for having set the content panel to 'show thumbnail only'. It is under the view menu and might also have occurred with hitting accidentally the cmd/ctrl + T key combination.
Resetting workspace also set's the thumbnail info per your setting in the Bridge preferences settings for Thumbnail/details. Just try it once to check
Another mayor point is that you did not ran the updater end still have the first version instead of the latest release 4.0.5.11, You will benefit from that update, be sure to have also the ACR 6.6 plug in installed, the 6.5 plug in did cause some bugs.
I also believe (not sure, long time ago) that the updater solved the problem you are seeing with some folders with and some without names.

I traded for a mac; how can I change the home folder name?

Well I traded a PC for my first iMac and well...... I love it.
1. I'm running into a little problem though; I can't seem to change the home folder name to my name. Although I know it doesn't affect any of the operation of the system or my settings, it psychologically upsets me.
2. Also, is there a way to assign my Apple ID to the computer or does that not matter either?
3. I also see a little lag when trying to connect to the web, but once I do get on it seems pretty beefy, any suggestable reasons?
4. And the final question, did I make the right decision? I traded a Sony Vaio S series tablet (laptop/PC) with an Intel core i5 @ 2.30ghz for an iMac with an Intel Duo Core processor @ 3.06ghz. I've heard the numbers don't really matter but some clarification would help.

Trying to address some of your questions:
You state you are running Mountain Lion? Was that the original OS on the Mac? That is very important because:
a) if it was, the seller/trader needed to transfer the Mountain Lion license to you or it will stay with his Apple ID;
b) if he purchased ML, he is required to uninstall it before selling the machine because the license is not transferable, which means - again - that it is tied to his Apple ID (along with the machine ID).
Both/either can present some problems for you since ML is now tied to someone else's Apple ID. If you manage to "introduce" your Apple ID, it will no longer match the records MAS (Mac App Store) has, so updates or other purchases may present problems.
I would suggest that you either call Apple or book an appointment at the nearest Genius Bar and ask them how to proceed - that way you may be able to set up your own Apple ID on the machine as well as get ML registered as yours (although, as explained above, they may require you to purchase it for yourself).
Whether or not you made the right decision - well, I've never owned a Windows machine, so I can't answer your question since I have nothing to compare it with. Obviously, I use Macs...... you should be able to run your own test: just do what you normally do and see if it appears to take about the same time, is faster, or is slower.

How do I change the 'tempuser' folder name?

Trying to set up an old (2006) Macbook for my daughter to replace her (even older) old one. I have an account with her name, but the documents and photos are stoored under a folder called "tempuser" which I think might confuse her. Can I rename that folder to 'Amina' or 'Mom' or 'Mine' or something? How? It won't allow a straight renaming of the folder.

I'm not sure how those steps worked for you. Perhaps those used MacBooks had older operating systems. The current 10.7+ will not allow you to change the Home Folder name. You can move the contents of the old folder to a new folder using Terminal. However, doing this will cause you to lose every personal setting, email accounts, browser history and on and on. In fact, when booting up into the old username you are presented with all of the welcome stuff you get when you do a fresh install. All of the files and applications and preferences are still on your disk, they are just no longer associated with your user.

I need to change the home folder name. I just bought this mac today and my cousin put his name in because he had to back up his phone while we were still at the store so he could get a new phone and now my brand new imac says his name in the home folder. This is very frustrating. I would not have let him put his name in there if I didn't think you could change it. Someone please help!

Delete his user account and create your own, using your name.

Did you change your home folder name and now your computer is all wierd?

Hello. I did the same thing and I called apple help and they just couldn't help me on this subject. I was messing around with the computer and I found a proper solution where you don't have to re-install the software. Here are the steps:
Step one: login (if your not already logged in) into the account. It should still be there as the original name.
Step two: Open your Finder or HD and select the Users folder.
Step three: You should see your original account name as well as any one else's account name if you have other people sharing the computer. In addition to this you will also see the name you attempted to use as a replacement for your old Home Folder name, note that this is a new unexpected user.
Have it in column mode for the easiest experience.
In the new folder you created (this is the user on the list that you named your original folder) You will find all your old settings. Don't do anything yet! take and highlight all of the content in that folder by holding shift and clicking or your preferred way. Drag ALL the content to your original home folder, which should only have library and Documents. (if it has more than it's okay) it will tell you that there are already folders with that name and will ask permission to replace them. Say yes.
Step four: log out or restart your computer.
Step five: log in, and or wait till it's restarted Your desktop and dock should be restored to the way you originally had it. Don't change the name on it again. if you want to change the name, you'll need to create a new user.
Step six: Thank me and leave me complements or questions.

I think it is rather surprising that the Mac OS allows you to change the name of the home folder and doesn't seem to put up a warning or anything.
I did change the short name used on my home folder about three weeks ago. I used ChangeShortName Utility v1.2 which I got from here:
http://www.macosxpowertools.com
All indications are that using this utility has been 100% successful.
I did create a new temporary account with administration privileges and I ran the utility from that account. This meant I wasn't changing the short name on the account I was actually using.
It is very important to read the "read me" with ChangeShortName so that you are 100% sure of what you are doing when you use it.
Also, of course, back up first

Changing the Public Folder name or owner's name of a MacBook running 10.5

Hi
Does anyone know how or if, I can change the name of my Public Folder or alternatively change my MacBook's owner name?
It seems crazy that after years of releasing software Apple would default a folder name to the full name of the owner with no shortname option and not warn you that the name you use would become a long winded folder name.
Thanks
John

Hi,
To change the name of your computer just open System Preferences from the Applications folder and click on sharing.
Click on the lock in the bottom left corner of the window if it is locked. At the top of the window there is a box with the computer name in it, just change this to what you want.
I would advise against changing the name of the Public folder but if you don't want it to be viewable on the local network click on it and press command + i, under the general tab you can untick the shared folder option. You can then create another folder within your home directory (name it anything you want) and bring up the get info window and select the shared folder option.
Hope this helps

How do I change IMAP "special folder" names

For the special folders for "Trash" and "Sent", even though Mail.app displays the names thus, the actual folder names that it creates on the IMAP server are "Deleted Messages" and "Sent Messages". That seems a little absurd to me. If the designers of Mail.app thought that "Trash" and "Sent" were the best names for those folders, why did they make the actual folder names "Deleted Messages" and "Sent Messages"? And why is there not a way in the account settings for me to tell Mail.app which IMAP folders to use for those special folders, a la Thunderbird?
The problem is that, when I'm not on my Mac I have to use either Thunderbird or the Zimbra webmail client--BOTH of which (rationally) use "Trash" and "Sent" for their special trash and sent folders. Thunderbird, of course, lets you choose which IMAP folder to use. But Zimbra doesn't. It would be REALLY nice if Mail.app would allow me to choose which IMAP folders to use for Trash, Sent, Drafts, and Junk, just like Thunderbird does.
(To make matters even worse, if you happen to connect to your IMAP account with MS Outlook, it creates folders called "Deleted Items" and "Sent Items". Now I ask you, WHAT'S WRONG WITH JUST "Trash" and "Sent"???
--Dan

Subject to names the IMAP server creates, you can often tell Mail to use any folder for these purposes. Open a folder, click on Mailbox in the Menubar, choose Use This Mail For and see if the options are in black type or gray. If black you can choose.
However, Trash is a category in the Sidebar. The name given to standard mailboxes used in account folders (each account has its own set), whether POP or IMAP are set in the application. With IMAP there is some ability to alter, depending upon the standards of the IMAP server, I believe.

I am totally new to the whole mac thing and have just bought my first iMac, second hand, 27" late 2009 model, I have been trying to change everything from the previous users names to mine when I got stuck trying to change the home folder name...

I tried everything to change it but nothing would work, I seen a tutorial online on how to do it using terminal, suso, I didn't really know what I was doing but I gave it a go, entered the existing name and then entered my name, I then confirmed with password, everything seemed fine, I restarted my computer and when I booted up I had lost everything, all the apps had gone, mail, files, everything?! This mac had the full adobe 6 suite on and I'm really gutted, I had also transfer loads of things over from my pc, which are no longer there!! Is there any way to get this back? Like on a pc, running the pc from a week ago? Any help would be much appreciated as I don't really know what I'm doing, thanks

It appears that you really screwed things up. If the machine had CS 6 on it, the seller should have provided the discs and registration info. Since that machine shipped with Snow Leopard, you should start from scratch. Boot with disc one, launch Disk Utility from the Utilities menu, select the HD, erase and reformat it, then select zero out data from the security options. Once the HD is wiped clean, quit Disk Utility, and select install the operating system. Once installed and it reboots, personalize the machine to suit your needs. Once up an running, see these:

Can I globally change the itunes folder names

Due to some complicated circumstances regarding setting up a new laptop and copying my iTines media files across, I have created the following situation:
1. All files are under a folder called iTunes/iTunes Media in their appropriate folders e.g. iTunes/iTunes Media/Beatles
2. All of these files have been duplicated in a sub folder called iTunes/iTunes Media\Music e.g. iTunes/iTunes Media/Music/Beatles
At some point, and due to some jiggery pokery on my part that I cannot remember, I have iTunes pointing to a mixture of these i.e. some albums are located in the ITunes Media folder and some in the Music sub folder
I need to remove the duplicate folder to free up space on my laptop so would like to simply globally change any reference in locvations of iTunes/iTunes Media\Music to iTunes/iTunes Media\Music
This would solve my issue rather than trawl through thousands of missing location files and individually changing these. is this possible at the database level?

Rather than delete anything by hand I suggest you start by fixing the broken links with my script FindTracks.
You could then import the iTunes Media folder to reattach any orphaned files to the library.
You can then dedupe with my DeDuper script. See this thread for background and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping (actually that should be the first thing you do).
Finally turn Keep organize... off, then turn it back on again. Also make sure under File > Library > Organize Library that Reorganize files in the folder iTunes Media is greyed out. If not, tick the box and press OK.
The aim is to end up with the library set out as described in make a split library portable.

Changing appearance of screen-name in chat window

My name shows up in the chat window as my whole name. Why??? I'd rather it just say my screen name. How do I change it?

Hi misscmae,
iChat takes this name for the spot at the top of the Buddy List.
It takes the Buddy list details from iChat if you have just a Buddy's screen name and from their card in the Addres Book if you added Real Names.
The Exception is that when registering an AIM name you can choose how it is displayed.

Changed home folder name, how do I get my desktop back?

Change My Home Directory Name to Match My Short Name

Somewhere in the process of Migration and Setup Assistant accross 3 computers, I need to change my home folder name to match my shortname. It is getting a little confusing to have two short "names."
My home folder is - admin
My short name is - bobbyv
I would like tho change my home folder to bobbyv
The admin account as you can guess is root, i have two other accounts, one that is admin and one that is not. I know about the advanced options in the accounts preference pane, but I do not want to change in without knowing what I'm doing because I do not want to have an empty and clean new home folder, my data is important.
Thanks everyone.

Changing the short name is possible, but it is rather involved. Search for "change short name" on this site. It's easiest to create a new account and then transfer your data to that account.
