Can't rename symlink

I suspect this is more of just apple turned their products into crippleware instead of a real problem, but I'm tying to put a symlink to my documents folder in my dropbox...  But I can't renamed it.  Why?  And since I WILL rename it, even if I have to hack it, is there an offical way to do this?

I actually have a solution to the problem.  I had to do it in terminal from the directory I already wanted to be in.  So it can be done, just not from the finder.  Since that is a little akward for a Mac, I still am wondering the correct way to do from the finder.

  • Can't rename folders on Snow Leopard Server

    I have 10.6.8 Snow Leopard Server running on a new Mac Mini server. Attached I have a Pegasus Raid storing all my files. I have a sharepoint set up for every project we work on but a couple act strangely. Users can create and delete folders but can not rename them once created. In order to rename they must drag the folder onto the desktop, rename and then replace the folder on the server. All permissions are set up identical to the other sharepoints which work fine. I have had a couple so-called "experts" look at the permissions in both the terminal and Server Admin. Everyone seems stumped. Any ideas?

    Thanks for the input but I finally soved the problem. Here is what I found...
    Although I had given users/group the ALLOW/FULL CONTROL premission with a sharepoint, I discovered that in Server Admin if you double-click on the User or Group name under the ACL permissions that a drop down box appears. This box allows you to fine tune the ACL but it appears that by default all of the boxes are not checked even though I granted the user Full Control. After checking all of the boxes I was able to create and rename folders in my share as expected.
    This also had an similar effect if I denied Full Control. Some of the boxes remained unchecked and it left holes in my system where denied users could still access some files. Again by checking all boxes these holes were closed.
    Does anyone know how to change the default so that all boxes are checked when assigning the Full Control permission?

    Batch rename files
    You can rename files in a group, or batch. When you batch rename files, you can choose the same settings for all the selected files. For other batch-processing tasks, you can use scripts to run automated tasks.
    1  Select the files that you want to rename.
    2  Choose Tools > Batch Rename.
    3  Set the following options:
    Destination Folder
    Place the renamed files in the same folder, move them to another folder, or place copies in another folder. If you choose to put the renamed files in a different folder, click Browse to select the folder.
    New Filenames
    Choose elements from the menus and enter text as appropriate to create new filenames. Click the Plus button [+] or Minus button [-] to add or delete elements.
    •String Substitution
    Allows you to change all or part of a filename to custom text. First, choose what you want to replace: Original Filename replaces the string from the original filename. Intermediate Filename replaces a string that is defined by preceding options in the New Filenames pop-up menus. Use Regular Expression allows you to use regular expressions to find strings based on patterns in filenames. Replace All replaces all substrings that match the pattern in the source string.
    Options
    Select Preserve Current Filename In XMP Metadata to retain the original filename in the metadata. For Compatibility, select the operating systems with which you want renamed files to be compatible. The current operating system is selected by default, and cannot be deselected.
    Preview
    One current and new filename appear in the Preview area at the bottom of the Batch Rename dialog box. To see how all selected files will be renamed, click the Preview button.
    4  (Optional) Select a preset from the Presets menu to renaming with frequently used naming schemes. To save batch rename settings for reuse, click Save.

  • Can't rename a single file to autorun.inf even all ntfs permissions are correct

    I have this odd problem:
    Logged in as Domin Administrator I couldn't  rename or open for editing an existing file "autorun.inf" even though all the ntfs permissions were correct. Every other files in the same directory (mainly .swf, .docx, .js and .htm files)
    are both editable and can be renamed.
    When I deleted the file "autorun.inf" from the folder and tried to create a new one with the same name, OS (Windows Server 2008 R2) notifies me that I "need permission to perform this action". Furthermore OS notifies me that "You
    require special permission from Administrators to make changes to this file". Neither can I copy a file named "autorun.inf" from another location to this folder. This is in spite of being logged in as Domain Admin.
    In short: I can't create a file called autorun.inf in a folder!
    Could  there be some kind of extra locking concerning files named autorun.inf i.e. some protective mechanism in this particular folder's permissions or SRV2008R2 itself that I've missed. All the other folders allow me to create whatever files i like
    into them.
    I would very much appreciate if anybody can help me with this.

    Yes, by default that will block any access to autorun.ini files. We use the same, so the issue sounded familiar, and of that I asked specificly to that :)

  • Can't rename folder in main directory and changes need to be authenticated

    This just started today: I can't rename folders in my main directory, and I can't move anything in or out without authenticating. Yesterday I had remote tech support working to fix Parallels, and I suspect that the tech support guy changed a setting, but I can't find it to change it back. Ideas, anyone? Please advise.

  • CAN'T RENAME PICTURE IN N97

    Hi friends,
    CAN'T RENAME PICTURE IN N97.
    I have recently bought a N97 (I have been using a N73 Music) and
    need help for this problem -
    After taking a still image / video (& before closing the camera
    cover - there is a option to rename it - max 31 to 32 characters).
    If I rename the photo / video there, then the name is changed (as it
    should) - no problem.
    - but if I close the cover or exit the camera mode - and then later
    try to rename any picture from photo gallery it cannot be done -
    as suggested in manual-
    "Select Menu > Photos.
    To view and edit the properties of an image or a video
    clip, select the file, Options > Details, and from the
    following:
    Title — View the thumbnail image of the file and
    the current file name. To edit the file name, select
    the file name field"
    After editing - the title field shows the edited name - but when the
    file is sent to PC or other phone - it is seen that the default name
    is persisting (the name in fact has not changed).
    Any solution / advise - anyone ? Nokia people - are you listening?

    Strange, I've used it since first release, on two phones, and installed it on friends phones without a problem. Should be identical, but try uninstalling and going to Nokia betalabs and downloading from there. One thing to note, you may need to let it load photos for a few minutes first time you open it, then it's really quick, and smooth. Worth trying, it's one of the best apps on my phone.
    Good Luck

  • Can I rename Mainsequence? No results in report!

    Can I rename my Mainsequence within a sequence file to another name, and then create a new Mainsequence?
    The reason I ask is because I had a sequence file where my Mainsequence contained all of my steps. I then needed to have the ability to call one of two subsequences based on a button selection. So I renamed my Mainsequence to Sequence1, added a Sequence2, and created a new Mainsequence that simply called Sequence1 or Sequence2. That part worked OK, and I was successfully able to call either of those sequences. After I did that however, my test results would no longer be written to my report. A report was generated but only contained the header info and the 'End of Report'. All the properties for writing reslults to the report were set properly at the step, sequence, and station level.
    Was this problem caused by renaminig my Mainsequence or is something else going wrong?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    You can rename the MainSequence by going to the view all sequences view, double clicking on MainSequence and entering a new name.
    You must bare in mind if you run your sequencefile using Test UUT's or Single Pass, an error will be generated because your sequencefile doesn't contain a MainSequence.
    That's not a problem if you only ever call your sequences within that SequenceFile as Sub-Sequences.
