Can a location be renamed?

Can the name of the location associated with a photo/pin be changed without moving the pin?
For example I have a pin at my home address.  Mousing over the pin reveals the name of the town nearby. I don't live in that town (nor in any town) and would like to change the name to simply "home". Can it be done?
(Aperture 3.1.2)

Maybe.    The ins and outs of the interaction between Places names, locations, and the underlying Google Maps database are complicated.  I don't understand them.
Any Places Name you assign will always have a containing Google Maps place.  This is usually a city.  It might be a state.  I haven't tried assigning images to the ocean, but it would be interesting to test.
The one thing you can do is make sure the area associated with your "Home" pin is small.  Go to "Metadata→Manage My Places", select "Home" from the list, and shrink the circle if it is large.
This may bump "Home" out of the city.  It may not.
You can go further, however. 
My "Home" pin got assigned to a nearby Apple Store (as in "Home, Apple Store, Linden Street").  I finally got rid of that by re-assigning all images assigned to "Home" to "Newhome", but I put the pin further away.  Then I deleted the place "Home", renamed "Newhome" to "Home", and then moved the pin where it belongs.
To my surprise, this has not been re-assinged by Aperture.
Good luck.

  • ITunes can't locate files, even though they never move.

    My iTunes is set to copy new files to a dedicated music folder on an internal storage drive and to keep this folder organized. I have never moved this folder or edited anything within this folder.
    Now, one day I start my iTunes and I'm greeted with thousands upon thousands of little exclamation marks telling me that iTunes can't locate the files. I made sure that the drive letter didn't change and that every file was still in there. There were too many songs missing to manually locate each song, so I highlighted my entire library and deleted it (while keeping the files, obviously). Several hours after re-adding my music library, everything was good and like it once was.
    Not even a day later, I re-open iTunes to find that all the exclamation marks were back and that it could not locate any of my files again. This time I decide to go through all the steps properly by clearing the folder where the xml files are located, uninstalling iTunes, moving my music to an external hard drive and making sure there was no trace of iTunes left.
    Ready to start again, I installed iTunes, set where I liked my files to be stored and set my other preferences (including "organize my iTunes folder" and "copy new files to iTunes Folder"). I then re-added my music and spent a day waiting for it to copy to the new iTunes folder. After this I deleted the folder that contained my originals and was left with a fresh install of iTunes and all my music was where I wanted it.
    This worked for almost a whole month before thousands of songs went "missing" again. I simply don't know what to do. I can't keeping re-adding my library again and again because a few thousand songs went missing. Each time I do it, it just takes longer and longer and i'm sick of it.
    Any help with my problem would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Presumably the location of the iTunes media folder is still correctly set in preferences when this happens?
    One thing you can do to investigate this is to select a track that can't be found and go to Get Info>>Summary tab.
    This will show you where iTunes thinks it is and the name of the file. Now find the file in Windows Explorer and compare the location and file name are they the same?
    A thing that occurs to me is that you have other software on your PC that is able to move/rename files. Do you have anything like that?
    Windows Media player has a check box that allows the renaming of files in Options, it's worth looking for that.

  • How can I locate my iTunes library files. When I click on my itunes icon the message appears, "The file iTunes Library.itl." cannot be found because it was created by a newer version of iTunes."

    How can I locate my iTunes library files?  When I click on my iTunes icon rather than my iTunes files I receive, " The file iTunes Library.itl." cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes."  I have already tried to update my iTunes program.

    Had same problem and solved it without having to reinstore any music or movies:
    1. Delete old Library file
    2. Go to the 'Previous iTunes Libraries' folder and copy one of the earlier files - note, they have a date extension, e.g. 'iTunes Library 2011-11-01'.
    3. Paste this file in your iTuners folder and rename file by removing the date extension -  'iTunes Library'
    You should have all your music and paylists in tact, unless it was a really old previous file.

    Thank you.
    This is a bug in Extension Manager where from time to time
    one of the XML files that Dreamweaver uses gets corrupted in some
    fashion and Extension manager can't edit it any longer. I've found
    that it's Menus.xml in the User folder that tends to be the issue.
    For DW8, the file should be located here:
    C:\Documents and Settings\[UserName]\Application
    Data\Macromedia\Dreamweaver 8\Configuration\Menus\menus.xml
    Mac:
    HD:Users:username:Library: Application
    Support:Macromedia:Dreamweaver MX
    2004:Configuration:Menus:Menus.xml
    So, how to to fix this issue. Sometimes you can uninstall all
    of your extensions and reinstall them one at a time.
    If that doesn't work, then you may be able to get away with
    deleting the Menus.xml file (make sure it is only the one within
    the username folder and not within the program install folder).
    Note: this action will cause any extension that added menu items to
    have those menu items removed. disabling and reenablign the
    extensions shoudl bring them back.
    Failing that, removing the user configuration folder (or even
    renaming it) may help. Note: This will cause all extensions to be
    removed from within Dreamweaver, so you'll have to reinstall.
    If none of that works, then you may have to resort to
    uninstalling DW, removing the user configuration folders, and then
    reinstalling DW.

  • TS1584 I had my iTunes libray on my old PC, just transferred to my new PC, downloaded iTunes, and my library is there, but can't play songs, says can't locate original files?

    I had my iTunes library on my old Dell Inspiron, transferred all info to my new HP Pavilion PC, downloaded iTunes and my library is there, but when I try to play songs, it says can't play because can't locate the original files...how can I activate the songs to play?  The iTunes library is also in my Windows media file, and the songs will play in there, but I set iTunes as my default music manager and want the songs activated in my iTunes library so I can play them and sync my iPod.  Help?  Thanks.

    This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
    Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

    I have one apple ID for both my Iphone 4S and Ipad. My Ipad was stolen from me and when I checked the iCloud, it can only locate the Iphone 4S. How can I locate the Ipad device?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can only locate your device when it is logged into iCloud and 'Find My Phone' is enabled, additionally the device will need to be switched on and connected to a wifi or cellular network.
    Unfortunately, you cannot activate iCloud or 'Find My Phone' remotely.

  • Terrance Devlin answered a question about iPhoto (4-2012) re:copying iPhoto Library to an ExHD, and losing all the albums. I can't locate the "Choose Library" when I open iPhoto with the opt button. Can anyone help?

    I tried to move my images (over 25,000) to an External Hard drive to open up some memory, hoping to make my computer run faster. It took three hours to move the images and I see them all in the mac's menus. However when I try to open them with iPhoto now, none appeared. and when I tried to import them back to the main HD they come in to iPhoto just fine, but not with the albums nor any of the massive organization i'd created in the original. this represents years of images, and I can't imagine that I'd have to recopy them into folders/albums again.
    Terrance Devlin answered a similar question back in April of last year. He said to make sure the ExHD is formatted to MAC OS Extended (Journaled) and to move the library to the ExHD and then open iPhoto with the option button and select "Choose Library" from the resulting menu.
    Command "I" tells me that the new drive is formatted correctly. I can't locate the "Choose Library" when I open iPhoto with the opt button.
    First, I wondered if the application needs to be on the same drive as the Library. I sure would like to know if I can find out how to restore all the folders I had them in. Terrance's advice helped the user that had asked the question.

    Here are Apple's instructions:
    If you are using iPhoto ’06 or earlier, you will need to follow these steps to tell iPhoto where the Library is now located:
    Hold down the Option key on the keyboard and open iPhoto. Keep the Option key held down until you are prompted to create or choose an iPhoto Library.
    Click Choose Library.
    Locate and select the iPhoto Library in its new location.
    (from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1229 )
    Below (in the link below) is what you should see when holding down the option key and opening iPhoto. Keep holding down the option key until this dialogue comes up. You want to select the Choose Library button.

  • How can I locate my lost iPod Touch if my location was off and user ID was changed?

    I lost 3 Apple devices during house break in. How can I locate my lost Apple devices if my location was turn off,
    without "Find My Phone" apps and user ID was changed. The 3 devices are iPod Touch, iPad 2 and iPhone 3gs.
    I had made a Police Report and was told that I can request to get information to track my devices upon WIFI or
    internet connection. I hope "APPLE" team will help me to track my devices with IP locations, GPS, built in compass,
    or quickly send directions, updated informations and mobile data to find out and coordinates them.
    Given point will also help the police to capture them.
    Awaiting your reply.

    There is no Apple here, just users like you and me. Apple does not provide nor have that information, as far as I know, but if police needs that information, they have a legal way of contacting Apple. If I were you I would avoid trusting Internet forum, assessable by anyone with your personal information.
