Can't rename file under Subversion control.

CS5 - Unless I'm missing something you can't rename a file (using dreamweaver to do so) and have it maintain it's connection to subversion. For example, if I rename a file using Dreamweaver, edit it, then go to "Commit" it, I get an error "File is not under Subversion Control". What is the correct way to rename a file in CS5 under subversion control?
This is a serious deficit.

Saving the file under a different name creates all sorts of problems. Especially since all the history of the changes are lost. DW provides a "rename" command but it doesn't update the files svn metadata. If you use the rename command it doesn't warn you that you will loose the connection to the repository.
This must be a bug because an equivelent version of Tortise SVN DOES allow you to rename a file and preserve all the history. I just found this out and am using Tortise SVN to do the renaming. It's the same SVN version as DW so it updates the metadat just fine and it preserves the history of the previously named file.
This is a bug in DW or a serious omission.

Can't rename files on an external harddrive,

I import my pictures into Lightroom using the following format YYYYMMDD - XXXX. For example, a picture with a file number 2113 taken on Dec 16th, 2011 would be ranamed 20111216 - 2113. I import them to my computer first and then move them to an external hard drive when the storage on my computer gets tight. For a while, I accidently was adding a space to the front of my file name, so it would import as " 20111216 - 2113" instead of "20111216 - 2113" notice the space at the beginning file name. This space was maintained when the file lived on my computer, but it was removed when I moved the lightroom folder to my external hard drive. As a result, all of the files that are on the external hard drive show up as "missing or deleted." Light room thinks there should be a space in the front, but none of the files on the hard drive do. I have to locate each and every file by hand, and the "find nearby photos" check box doesn't help, because all the files are missing the space. Is there a way to batch rename files in lightroom, even when the file is missing? I need to change all the names in my catalogue to take out the space at the front so I can then easily locate the files on my external hard drive. Can someone help me out? There has to be a better, faster, easier way to do this other than individually locating each and every file on my external hard drive.
Thanks for your help,
matt

Lightroom can't rename files while they're missing. If you batch rename the files on the external hard drive, to include the space again, LR should find them and then you can rename them within LR to remove the space again.

How can I rename files without creating a duplicate?

How can I rename files without creating a duplicate? And secondly, for some reason I can no longer save pdf files [i.e., bank statements] where I want - the Save As function is gone?

In many new cases, Save As is now called Duplicate in ML. It uses the same command-S keystroke. Older apps still have Save As. When you do a Duplicate operation, you will create an UNTITLED document. You have to save that duplicated document to complete the process.
So in 10.6.x, you would do ...
* Save As ...
* Give the file a new name + Chose the location for the file
* Click the Save button
Now in 10.8.x, you do ...
* Duplicate ...
* Save ...
* Give the file a name + Chose the location for the file
* Click the Save button
As baltwo mentioned, you have to search the Preferences of your browser to determine what is has set for the default Download folder.

Why can't create file under /home directory?

I user solaris10, and login as root,I find I can't create any file or directory under /home directory! It say "operation not applicable" ,Why? I am puzzled it for a long time. Anyone could tell how to do it?
Thanks

For Solaris,
/home is not an on-disk file system, it is a file system under the
control of the automounter, and only the automounter can create
directories/files in it.
If you don't want the automounter to manage /home, then remove the
"/home" entry from /etc/auto_master
(and issue the command "automount -v" to force the file
to be reread, or reboot).
However, the typical setup for Solaris is to locate user's home directories
in /export/home.

Can't rename file with Applescript

Hi,
I'm a programmer but I'm new to Automator and Applescript. I am trying to rename pdf files based on a specific line of its content but I don't succeed. I created a service that exports the text from the pdf to a file. Then I use applescript to read that specific line from the file, then another applescript to rename the pdf to that string. Every step works except the rename part. When I tell Finder to rename the file it stops with the error: "The operation can't be completed because there is already an item with that name." This is not true, but I keep getting this error message no matter which file I try it with.
The odd thing is that if I set varName to some constant like
set varName to "METEOR CEE Kft..pdf"
it works like a charm. So I figured maybe
item 1 of input & ".pdf" = "METEOR CEE Kft..pdf"
is false. But that is not the case, I tested it in the script and they are equal.
What am I missing?

I think that the problem is that there is a lot of invisible characters in the text file when Automator extracts a PDF to plain text (open the file in a text editor and turn on "view invisible characters", or use cat -e in Terminal)
I've gotten around this is the past by extracting to a RTF and then using textutil to convert to txt
Try this Automator Workflow:
The bash script is:
     textutil -convert txt "$1"              # Convert from RTF to TXT
     n=$( sed -n '9 p' "${1%.*}.txt" )         # extract line 9 fron text file
     mv "${1%.*}.pdf" "${1%/*}/$n.pdf"     # Rename file
     rm "$1" "${1%.*}.txt"                         # Clean-up RTF and TXT files

How can I rename files when importing?

Is there a way to rename files when importing them? Every method I've tried retains the original file name the camera assigns (e.g. DSC_0001). I'd like the ability to rename the files automatically either with a date or event name with sequential numbering following.
Thanks!

First you will have to upload from the camera to a folder on the Desktop where you can batch rename them before importing into iPhoto. That's a safer workflow IMO because you can make sure the photos are safely on the hard drive before starting any other operation.

Can't rename files on ipod

I am sorry if this is a repeat question. I have searched for 1.5 hours here and have not found what I was looking for.
I copied episodes of TNG onto my (PC)laptop. I dragged them into my iTunes. They play great. I just can't rename them on the ipod. When they are copied (manually) onto the ipod, they lose their names and show up as Title01_01 rather than "Yesterday's enterprise" or whatever...
They DO play on the iPod -- I just want to know WHICH ONE I am playing! Thanks.
dell inspiron Windows XP Pro Cucusoft converter

OK-- Here's what I did.
I changed everything to manual transfer. I deleted my videos and reconverted them again. I dragged them AGAIN into itunes. I had to change the names by hand in iTunes-- and then, if I click on them with the new name, it goes back to the title0101 etc. So, I have not tried putting anything onto my iPod again -- (I am in the middle of an audiobook and don't want to lose the place!) If anyone's interested in how this comes out, I'll be glad to post back when I do add this to the iPod.
peace out.

Can't rename file name under Finder even as an administrator.

As an adminstrator to my MacBook Pro, why can't I rename certain file name under Finder?

Have you tried running lsof from the Terminal?
Lsof will show you any files that are open, the likelihood is that your file is in use.

Windows BUG: Can't change file types through control panel Quicktime settings

I am running the latest version of Quicktime on Viista Home Premium 64-bit.
When I into Control Panel -> View 32-bit Control Panel Items -> Quicktime -> Browser, and I click on "File Types" or "MIME Settings", I get a blank page that looks like this: http://oi40.tinypic.com/hvbbia.jpg, and Quicktime momentarily freezes.
I have no issue adjusting file type settings when bringing up Quicktime outside of control panel, or when using "Default Programs" within control panel, it's only when I do it within "View 32-bit Control Panel Items" that it does this.
This is a minor bug but still weird. Can anyone else verify the issue? I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but that didn't help.

This could be caused by damaged QuickTime preference files (or possibly a permissions problem on the preferences files).
We can try rebuilding one set of your preference files to see if that helps with the greyed-out stuff.
First, quit QuickTime if you have it open.
Next, you'll need to make sure you are set up to view hidden files and folders in Vista (or 7).
1. From the Start menu, click Open.
2. In the Organize menu, click Folder and Search Options.
3. Click the View tab.
4. In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders" make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected.
5. Click OK.
Next, you'll remove the QuickTime preference folder (and contained file).
6. In Computer, open Local Disk: C or whichever drive your documents are stored on.
7. Open the Users folder.
8. Open the folder with the name of the Windows 7 user account in which the QuickTime file types are "greyed out".
9. Open the AppData folder.
10. Open the Local folder.
11. Open the Apple Computer folder.
12. Drag the QuickTime folder out onto the Desktop.
Now you'll rebuild the preference folder and file.
13. Launch QuickTime. Check your file types again.
Are they still greyed out, or can you change them now?

Can't rename files on my external hard-drive.

I have a Seagate Backup Plus drive hooked up to my Macbook Pro with some video files I want to rename and organize on it, but when I click a file, I cannot preview it in finder. I have to double click and open it up in Quicktime. If I click "get info" I can preview the videos and rename them, but I'd much rather do it in Finder.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Whether it can fixed or not depends on how the drive is formatted. If it is FAT32 you may be out of luck, but if it is in a standard Mac format you should be able to fix it. Take a look at this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5908325
For FAT32 I have been unable to find any information at all on either the cause or a solution.

Mac Book Pro 13" LPTP-Photo Booth Recorded Video File won't find my video/movie that I recently recorded from Sun 9-1-13. Is there a way I can retrieve the files under the Time Machine or will I need to download something for iPhoto Booth?

I have been having the most difficult times with the use of iPhoto Booth for recording movie files of church services. It seems if I make a rename on the files, for some odd reason, I cannot find it in any of my Files Folders in Finder. I need to know is there a more simple way to retrieve movie files thru iPhoto Booth or is there something I may can download to fix this issue? Also, is there a way the videos can be flipped around to not a mirror image, but to a reverse camera? Please anyone who recognizes this problem, contact me ASAP. Thank you for your support!

You used the data. Verizon can not see what it was sued for. However your phone can see whats apps used the data. go to settings-data usage- there will be a place that says data usage cycle. line the dates up with your cycle. then there will be a bar graph below that extend bother white bars one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right. after those are extended below that will be a list of apps, there should be one that used over 2 gb and that will show you what app used that data in her purse

Can't rename files/folders after changing extension of a file

This has gone on for a while and is quite the pain.
So I need to change the extension of a file. I change it, it asks me do I really want to do this, and I do. Sometimes immediately, and sometimes in a while, I lose the ability to rename a file/folder - I highlight it but can't type anything. Only a restart cures it, until the next round. Really annoying.
I've seen this syndrome posted here and there, but no real solutions. Any ideas welcome, I'm using 10.4.11 btw.
Thanks

Very Important, how much Free Space is on your Hard Drive first of all? Click on the Macintosh HD on the Desktop, then do a Get Info on it.
First, Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, test if things work OK in Safe Mode.
Then move these files to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.recentitems.plist
Reboot & test.

Can't rename files

Before 10.5.8, I used to be able to click on a file's icon name (the text) and it would highlight it, allowing me to change it's name. Now in 10.5.8, anytime I single click on an icon's text it just opens the file (no more name changing allowed). Anybody else having this problem ? Please help, as the only workaround I've found is to hit "Get Info" and switch file names from there. Kinda clunky...

I got a very similar problem in 10.6.1. Only with newly created folders on network drives. Gives an error that I do not have the permission to rename it. I check it with ssh on the Linux/Samba server and I do have the permission. Well, I just created it, I can open and delete the folder but not rename.
Now thanks to your question I tried renaming it via "Get info" and that works. Clearly a bug in Finder I would say. Hopefully, Apple can fix that soon.
