Can you somehow use Lightroom to rename RAW files?

Okay let's say in one folder on my hard drive I have three RAW files: _DSC0001.NEF and _DSC0002.NEF and _DSC0003.NEF. Now let's say I have reformatted my memory card so my camera will once again start labeling new images with _DSC0001.NEF.
So let's say now I go out and shoot three more RAW files: _DSC0001.NEF and _DSC0002.NEF and _DSC0003.NEF.
If I try to transfer these brand new images into my original folder there will be some duplicate naming which you can't do.
What I have been doing is going into the new folder that holds the new three images and renaming them: so I change _DSC0001.NEF to _DSC0004.NEF and I change _DSC0002.NEF to _DSC0005.NEF and I change _DSC0003.NEF to _DSC_0006.NEF.
Instead of me having to manually rename each photo I was wondering if I could import these new photos into Lightroom and then tell Lightroom to export these RAW images but starting at the sequence _DSC0004.NEF...and so forth.
I mean I can't have a folder that has this: _DSC0001.NEF and then _DSC0001.NEF.
I hope I have made myself clear.
Or am I doing this all wrong?
And I would want Lightroom to export the original, unedited RAW file. It's just that I would be using Lightroom to rename them to keep proper sequencing.

It can take a little getting used to but once you have you will find it quite easy.
By the way I rename my files with the date first (GW20110514-12345.xxx) which may be useful to you.

HT1665 Can iPod touch use CCK to import raw files

I currently have the iPad CCK and I use it for importing RAW files from my cameras onto an iPad2 and iPad3.
What is unclear is whether this would work to an iPod touch?
My ageing iPod classic is coming to the end of its life and being able to use a touch as backup photo storage amongst other things whilst on holiday will save me needing to lug the iPad everywhere.
I don't want to plug in keyboards or write files to SD/CF cards just use as it is intended on the iPad to import files.
Many thanks in advance!

Using Lightroom 5.7, Raw files become from my Nikon D810 become corrupted when I select them to view or edit.

.Updated to Lightroom 5.7 to accommodate the Nikon D810. Upon importing RAW files to the files become corrupted when they are selected to be viewed or edited.
I am using Windows 7, 64 bit, with 8 GB Ram.
Any help would be appreciated.

There are several likely sources of corruption, and video card would be far down on my list of possible suspects.
The transfer from camera card to hard disk is the most likely place for problem, either the card reader or USB cable can go bad. Another likely source of problems is the computer's hard disk is starting to fail. The camera card itself may be bad. And lastly, the memory in the computer may be malfunctioning.

Has anyone had issues with poor image quality when using lightroom to process raw images from Canon 7dmk2

Hi everyone..
..I have been having image quality issues when using Lightroom to process raw files from a 7d mk2... They are all soft with poor clarity.....tonight in despair I tried processing them using canon's software and they are totally different..."much better"
anyone else had similar problems....Andy

I have a 7D2 and have not had what I interpret as poor image quality that has anything to do with the camera.
Can you post a screenshot of what you’re seeing and what specifically you don’t like? Maybe there is something you can do differently or at least there may be an explanation for what you’re seeing.
And if you have a raw image that you wouldn’t mind sharing in a public forum, upload to http://www.dropbox.com/ then post a public share link to it in a reply, here.
In other words post a screenshot of what you see in LR, another of what you see using DPP, and a link to the raw file you’re processing.

Can i open and edit nikon d810 raw files in lightroom 4.4

can i open and edit nikon d810 raw files in lightroom 4.4

No. Lightroom 4.x will never be able to open Raw files from the D810.
D810 support has only just been added to the RC version of Camera Raw 8.6. It is never retrospectively added into older versions.
Adobe Photoshop Camera Raw 8.6 RC for CC and CC 2014 Release Candidate | digital camera raw file support - Adobe Labs
Adobe will probably add D810 support to the next version of Lightroom.
Either way you'll have to upgrade to Lightroom 5 to be able to open D810 Raw files in Lightroom.

Can you somehow access prior versions of Professional on v9?. Need v7 but co only authorizes v9.

At our company we have been using Professional "compare" for many, many years to compare PDF files. Now the company only supports the latest version, v9. But we can only use version 7 as the later versions picks up far too many things we're not interested in. If we can't use vs 7 at the company we will have to find a new software for this. But we don't want to. The question is, can you somehow load v7 access on v 9? You know the way Microsoft WORD allows you to select older versions on the latest version?

Can you still use Home Sharing?

     Can you still use Home Sharing?    I have a Mac Mini (10.6.3) a Ipad (3rd Gen.) and a 3rd Gen. Apple TV. All on the same home network and router. All three have Home Sharing turned on. All with the same account and all with the same password but they don't see each other. Since we're talking about three devices that don't see each other, I figure it must be something in the way I have it setup or Apple did away with the function.
     Can anyone point me in the right direction or shed some light on this problem.
     Thanks

Well I can tell you that Apple did not do away with it because I am still using home sharing. Maybe you should go through this support article.

Can you only use a credit card to purchase products in the Appstore

You can also use prepaid iTunes cards, if those are available in your country. PayPal is also an option if you're in the US.

Can you somehow speed up audio recognition of a newly imported file?

When I import a new big file, it can take several minutes even on my very powerful computer for Pr to "read" it sound-wise. I can jump around freely in the video, but without the sound, it often makes it hard to make cuts before it is finished. It would be nice if Pr knew where I was in the timeline of the video and "discovered" audio "nearby" instead of going from start to finish in a linear fashion.

Can you upload/use Microsoft office on the Ipad2?

Can you upload/use Microsoft office on the Ipad2? I'm looking at buying one for uni but need to do assignments and submit them.. how much like a computer is an ipad in this regard?
Can you update/edit documents in Microsoft word etc on the Ipad2?

gyrhead mentione OnLive and I find this is the best solution. Im thinking about paying the monthly fee for it becuase its that good. Although gyrhead is correct about the virtual keyboard, I find that using a bluetooth keyboard works great. I use CloudOn also but find that its not a "full" version of Office...well at least Excel. You cant create Pivot Tables and other things.

Does the iPhone 4s need a data plan inorder for "siri" to work or can you just use your local wifi?

It can use both in all the commercials they are using wifi im trying to find out just how much Siri depends on data but so far I think it mainly uses it to pull info up and for some reason to dictate email but it does work on carrier data I guess it's just slower so you don't neccersarily need a data plan in place or have to dig into it to use Siri If you have wifi close by
