Changing a photo name after importing

Can you tell me if it is now possible to change the 'original' name given to a photo once it has been assigned. I have stayed off iphoto because although it was possible to update the 'displayed' name in iphoto, the underlying name always stayed the same.This caused problems elsewhere. I have been using Picassa up to now becuase this did allow the underlying photo name to be updated. I know there is software out there that gets round this, but is the iphoto core product now capable ?

I understand the point. The issue arises when (in my case) I use the 'media collector' on my HP Media Smart EX490. This collects any new files automatically and stores them in the file structure they have been placed in on the Mac. Because this works from the file name, you can get a mismatch between what is on the HP Media Smart and the photo name on the Mac. Not the end of the world I know, but, up to now, by using Picassa instead I have been able to change the file name to match the photo. This causes the media collector to re-collect the photo using the new file name, so everything stays in step. I am sure there must be other examples out there, so it may well be that if Apple added this function they would promote some switchers from Picasa to Iphoto. Thanks for your help anyway.

How do you "eject" a camera or such device from the photos app after import?

How do you "eject" a camera or such device from the photos app after import?

Thanks for your answer. It certainly seemed that since there was no longer a control-click option in Photos for a mounted device that a hot dismount or eject would be OK. Should there be any caveats to the user who selected a Finder option not to show Hard disks, External discs or CDs DVDs and iPods--or is this still uniformly true across all devices (old iPads, Firewire, etc.)?
This is only true for devices that are not accessible in the Finder. For iPhones, iPads, newer iPods. If a device shows up in Disk Utility as a mounted disk, you have to eject it properly.
But the newer iOS devices are not mounted as a disk, that a user can write to or eject.
For example, I just connected my iPhone 5s. It shows in Photos and iTunes in the sidebar, but Disk Utility does not show it as a mounted device, so there is no way to eject it.

File names after importing word document

I'm creating webhelp by importing word document. My help is in two languages and yes i have two word documents. To keep the html filenames same for every same topic in english and arabic. I change the file names. Now i want save this setting for the project so while importing the documents again I should be able to reuse this changing filenames. So that it can be life saver for me by not repeating to change the filenames again.

Thinking about this some more, I don't think the feature will do what you want. The filename and any formula will work according to how you paginate and will create a filename based on the heading. That will, I assume, differ from language to language.
The only thing I can think of experimenting with is to have the headings in language one in all documents with the other language being below but not as a heading. Post import you could amend the Topic Title and Topic Heading but leave the filename. It's klunky but the best I can think of right now.

Imported photos gone after import

Hey guys,
I have a HUGE problem. The day before yesterday I imported around 300 pictures from my canon cam into iPhoto. Since my memory card is pretty small I checked "delete pictures after import". I looked at the pictures in my iphoto library, and they were properly imported. Yesterday when I tried to import new photos I noticed that the photos I imported the day before that were gone. All images lost BUT the events are in the library, empty of course.
I double saved the new pictures and imported them - they also were properly imported, but when I quit iPhoto and reopened it, they were gone aswell.
Does anyone know how I can get my pictures back? Already tried photorec on the SD-card - it restored the wrong pictures.
Thank you so much, all help is highly appreciated.

What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Change logical system names after system copy

Hi!
We successfully installed SAP ECC 6.0 system as system copy.
All the logical system names of old system have been copied to new system.
Question
What is the approach to change the logical system names for new SAP system?
a) just via tcode SCC4
b) via BDLS
c) other tcodes, reports
Thank you very much!
regards
Jürgen

Hi,
Go though the system copy guide.
http://service.sap.com/instguides
After system copy,
If you need to change logical system names in the system that results from the copy, change the logical system names as described in SAP Notes 103228 and 544509.
https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/103228
https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/544509
Before running BDLS to change the logical system name, you have to define the correct logical system name in the new copied system. in tcode BD54.
- while running BDLS, execute in background.

Debasis.

Changing the system Name after Installing EP

Hi All,
I need to change the system name of the server and the IP address of the server after EP is installed. Is it possible to do this? Will the EP work properly?
Regards
Arun

Hi Arun,
There is many reference in the config of the portal to the server name.
I doubt you will be able to do it without difficulties.
If you use KM, you will have trouble with internal links in documents. We had to install an apache server for redirection when we migrated/upgraded from EP6 SP2 to 2004s, because the server's name changed.
Also, you will need to reinstall the local edit activeX to your users.
I hope someone can answer you better than me.
There always the system copy option.

Change OWB-user password after import

Hi there,
I set up a new empty 11.2 Warehousbuilder Repository instance, created a workspace and several DB-users (not in OWB) to prepare for MDL-Import.
Into that I run MDL-Import from 10.2 (it creats a MDL-file for 11.2), which was successfuly imported.
Immediatly after import I can not see any content as workspace-owner (may be logical since WS-Owner is not owner of any object imported ?)
and I can't connect as OWB-user as well.
So I tried to change imported OWB-user's password, but how to ?
OWB Install and Admin guide says in chapter 13.10.2, that I would not need to do anything special in OWB, just set password in DB as usual.
But I can't connect as those OWB-user !?
So how to change OWB-users password correctly ?
thanks for any hint.
LaoDe

seems my question wan't clear enough.
So here is an easy scenario step by step:
0. create a new empty Instance 11.2. Create several schema with only connect, resource grants to match later OWB-import's OWB-users.
1. create new, empty repository 11.2 + 1 workspace. OWB-Schema, who created WS = OWB_WS_OWNER
2. run Import from Export MDL-file. This includes several OWB-users.
3. After Import successful endet, no new objects, OWB-users or anything new is to see. (still beeing OWB_WS_OWNER). Even restart OWB does not show any new objects or OWB-users.
4. Can't connect to OWB with 1 of those imported Schema, to see any imported objects. Might be logical, because OWB-password for imported OWB-Schemas is unkown -> DB-Password does not help (what is logical).
5. As OWB_WS_OWNER or OWBSYS: how to change those imported OWB-user's password, when I don't see them as OWB-users ???
please help, thanks Laode

How to change (NT)Domain Name after installed ERP?

Hello,
We are planning to change (NT) Domain Name on environment of already installed ERP/BW(WAS 6.40)/SRM/SolMan(NW 7.0).
We know SAP recommend that customer should be Re-install or System-copy SAP-System if the Domain name is changed after installed systems.
However, we do not have enough time and budget for doing that.
Questions:
1). If the (NT) Domain name will be changed, we only need to change the
OS users of service for SAP-System?
(I think that it is needed to change only OS-users of SAP-service. Is there other setting for that?)
2). The method of only changing users of SAP-service is not supported in this case?
(The customer will be not taken the SAP-Official support after doing that?)

Dear
Changing domain name is not supported by SAP if done in a productive environment (after systems have gone live).
You will probably not get support by SAP after you change the domain name once system is live.
There are a bunch of changes you will need to perform as well.
The domain name is probably existing in the RFC's and you cannot change all of those through SM59.
You will need to update those entries at Oracle level.
SAP parameters containing domain name
Java environment where domain name is contained
Reset hostname buffer
Service marketplace
SAP Logon
STMS
Monitoring perhaps, non SAP job scheduling
Please reward points accordingly
Kind regards

Photos corrupted after importing using iPhoto

I recently imported 50 images from my iPhone 5 using iPhoto 9.4.3. After imported and selected "Remove imported photos", all my remaining photos & videos became unrecognized format (see image below). They look like that in iPhoto too. When I tried to import them, it says "Unrecognizable Files". I viewed my phone in iTunes and see that both Photos and Videos still take up half the storage. It says 17 photos 10.3 GB when rollovers. Strange..
PLEASE HELP! I do not have any back up on iCloud and iTunes

Should update to iPhoto 9.5.1 on your Mac

OBIEE changes table column attributes after importing to rpd

Hello guys
Something interesting is happening in our OBIEE environment. There are a couple of tables we import into physical layer, after importing these tables, all the column data length gets to set to '0' and all nullable becomes 'false'. I have changed these table in the DB and there are all correct. I have also taken a copy of this rpd and test in my own local environment with the same connection pool setting, I was able to import those same tables from the same DB and the attributes remain correct.
However, when we import these tables again in our rpd in unix environment, it is again overiding all the column data length to 0 and nullable to false..
Any clues on how to investigate?

Was it when it was still Siebel Analytics?
I see that it is a known issue, Any luck recalling the solutions so far?

Changing label set names after the fact

Hi,
Let's assume I have applied the standard labels to a set of images. Now, I decide that Red, Green, Blue,... are not self explanatory enough and I change the names of the default label set (this also applies to a custom label set).
Problem: for all images marked with the original label set, the label color switches back to white because the new names are not recognized.
How can I make the new names apply to the already marked images?
Thanks in advance.
Patrick

John,
Glad you got it set now
That's not the case. My previous message explained what I exactly did but as I said, this procedure failed. When I deleted the temporary collections that I created (one for each label), all labels were switched to Custom (white). Here is exactly what happened:
1. I started with the standard label names (Red = Red, Green = Green,...). I had a lot of images in various folders marked with these labels.
2. I created a collection for each label (Red Collection containing only images with the red label, Green collection,...)
3. I changed the label names (Red = To be fixed, Gree = Ready to print,...)
4. I selected each collection and applied the corresponding new label. No problem.
5. Once all marked images had the label with the correct (new) name, I deleted the temporary collections which were now useless.
6. After I did this, all marked images were assigned the same label (Custom = White). All previous label attributes were lost.
It seems that labels are valid only within a collection and that the same image can have different attributes depending on whether you look at it through a collection or directly in a folder. So the whole approach doesn't work.
Regards.

Photos missing after importing to ipod

I just restored my ipod photo back to factory setting and re-imported all my music and photos. After completion I got a message to say not all photos have been successfully imported since some are missing in iphoto. I know they are all there because I have previously imported all of them. The albums which were imported are only up to a year old, older photos are missing. Please let me know what can be done to include the older albums.

Soft reset phone. Are they in photos app? Or on vcloud?

Changing DNS zone names after the fact

Over 3 months ago we started setting up our server network. After discussions with administration it was determined (at the time) that we would use and register a domain name with a .net extension. So we set up a primary server with this extension and had it registered with our ISP. We subsequently added 7 other servers to the mix and as they were installed they grabbed their names from the DNS zone we had setup *.net in our DNS zone in our primary nameserver system. It was all well the tests worked we had it all going and are moving our 130 machines (including about 60 users) over next few months (and have moved about 10 users and other machines so far.
My question is this. Back in beginning a *.org was the other option but we had problems with it and our ISP (could have been some error on our part) so we went with *.net for our domain and got that registered. Now all of a sudden as our management is wanting to move the organizational website (we are not doing that) to another service that service is tying to convince them we should have not used *.net but *.org.
The person in charge of us is strongly asking if we can go back and setup with *.org but as I understand it I cannot go in and delete my *.net DNS zone and then rename all the servers with a .org extension but as we understand it from lynda.com and other sources it appears that we probably would have to go back and reset all the machines back up by reinstalling them after I changed the first primary nameserver. And then register the new name and wait for it to propagate?
Are we wrong? Can we just go in and turn off the DNS in server admin and then change the zone name(s) to *.org and the host names of each server from *.net to *.org and restart DNS and find all to be well? As much as we can tell it appears that we would have to restart from scratch as all the documents and lynda.com imply we should have had our final domain name set and registered before we started to install and setup the primary and secondary servers?
I see some examples where it is said to make such changes something needs to be done with ipconfig and not the GUI in server admin. But again I am not sure that this will work with our primary nameserver and the 7 servers under it?
Any feedback or help about this would be appreciated. It is our preference to stay with *.net and not have to do major work as we are starting user and network migration to the new servers and hate to have have such a major setback just because one person and the web design service they want to use does not like *.net. to us it appears the horse is long out of the barn and when this was approved last fall we have gone to far to easily go back. But if it is easier to go back than we think then we are willing to try to change.
Thanks
russ

first, what are these servers doing? are they all web servers, OD masters, simple file servers? depending on their roles, changing their names can be more or less of a problem.
The first server we set (the name server) does incoming mail, is the DNS server for local net and such. Then there is the outgoing mail server (one of 7) a web server (another of 7) and then the rest are mostly file servers for our setup.
second, work out that political stuff before making any changes. if everything's working fine as is, make a strong case for leaving things alone. if possible, estimate support costs for changing everything and troubleshooting, then see if management can justify it.
Sort of my feeling. We thought we had it all worked out but then they decided to abandon the old web site (managed by someone else but associated with the old mail/network somewhat) and have a new Web design company do it and this company complained about us having chose a .net for what reason I do not know so the administrator somehow was persuaded and had no idea of the can of worms she had opened up by changing her mind. If it is too much of a hassle and it appears so in terms of delays to move rest of organization over then I hope we can convince them.
are all these servers public facing or behind a firewall?
They are behind a firewall on a high speed cable modem ISP service (firewall is local ASTARO machine).
also, why not setup another dns zone for .org and point to the same hosts? that would allow you to use either .net or .org, for the most part. again, that depends on what these servers are doing.
We suggested that but the administrator did not like having two names we have a lot of users (volunteers and such) who are not really too savvy (the nature of free and partime help I guess) and she feels they will be confused by two extensions for network, mail and web. It sure does not bother me (I have about 8 email addresses for example now .
post more details without the political background and what the end result should be, and we'll be able to add more here.
Ok basically we want to know with the following:
1) main nameserver (the first server that provides the DNS zone for local *.net and serves the incoming mail)
2) A second outgoing SMTP server to split load and do outgoing work...
3) A third webserver doing all the web services (blog, wicki, and such)
4) 4 file servers that are going to provide a local file server for our 4 main departments
5) A final test server we are testing other things with-- so total of 8 servers.
6) 8 Users out of 60 now on the network with their personal desktops or laptop machines, and a few printers and other devices all on new network.
There are a total of 130 macs and pc's in our organization that will all eventually be on this new network with the above.
Basically we are wondering if the main (first) DNS and incoming mail sever, and the 7 other (web, SMTP out, and file server machines) will have to be set back up from reinstall if we are to make the change from the *.net zone we have now to a *.org one?
Any other details that would be of help?
Thanks
