Changing File Names in "Get Info"

Every time I add a few songs to iTunes i shows up as track "and then the number" is there any way in finder to change this permanently? I know that it is blocked under "get info" and then "more info" tab. I know that you can change this in itunes but if u delete your librabry and re-ad the song its gonna show up as a track "and then the number" again.
Anybody know how to do this? and if you need an app what is the app that you need?

Is it possible to change file name policy in the JRE cache folder?

We are getting calls from our clients complaining of slowdowns in loading our Java applet. The reason is a virusscanner. If a virusscanner is in the middle, it can drastically slow down the download process, and therefore cause some high delay before the user can work on the our product as expected.
On this csutomer's side, it may take up to 10 min (the first time it is ran) instead of 1 min. JRE 1.6 is in use.
They dont want to exclude from antivirus scan all files from Sun\Java\Deployment\cache folder.

I suggest you solve the real problem - big files.
There are two scenarios
1. Initial download
2. Updates.
The first takes as long as it takes. No way around it.
The second means that you can't use one jar. Otherwise every single update requires downloading the entire application every time. Multiple jars means only the one that changed is downloaded.

I have imported an mp3 to my Library. I want to keep it as media kind = podcast but no matter how often I change the tag in get info options media kind, the change will not persist.

Resolved in update.

When adding ringtones (created by ringtone app) they show in music tab nor tones. the file type in 'get info' is 'ringtone'. Why is this?

When adding ringtones (created by ringtone app) they show in music tab nor tones. the file type in 'get info' is 'ringtone'. Why dont they display in the 'tones' tab in itunes? How can I get them to display under 'tones' not 'music'.

Well, I tried rebuilding the Launch services with the command listed but still no luck. After having no luck with that and deleting caches, etc....I also, went to my home (user) directory and in Preferences, I deleted the com.apple.launchservices.plist file. I restarted and checked and still the same result.
Also, I want to emphasize again that the file type I am discussing DOES actually launch with the correct application. (Cubase files in my example).
But it is just annoying that ALL of my Cubase files display the Pro Tools application icon, and in Get Info they are listed to open with Pro Tools. But they actually do launch Cubase if double clicked.
And one other VITAL note....if I open Get Info for one of these files, and change the Open With from Pro Tools to Cubase....then that choice DOES "stick" and retain. (if I "don't" also click Change All)
It's only when I click "Change All" that it DOESN'T stick and the list selection jumps back to Pro Tools. I hope that may offer some clarity.
Thanks for the tips but I am still back at square one.

ADE changes file names

The book I downloaded has each chapter as a seperate .pdf, each with it's own unique filename. ADE has retitled every chapter (.pdf) to the name of the book. Now that all the chapters have the same name, I can't transfer them to my Kobo. How do I change titles or get ADE to stop changing file names?
Thanks

Dimitri,
          As usual, thanks for the simple but informative explanation!

Locked out - permissions problem - List Fetching instead of my name under Get Info

locked out - permissions problem - List Fetching instead of my name under Get Info - can nott unlock files and some apps

For 10.7, hold down Command R at Startup and you get recovery Mode Utilities.
Choose Disk Utility. Select your Hard drive. Check the SMART Status for "Verified. Select the Boot Volume, by default it is "Macintosh HD".Run REPAIR disk. If it completes without incident, run Repair Permissions as well.
You can also hold down Option at Startup, and Choose Recovery HD as the boot device. It gets you to the same place in Utilities.

Change file name with oreilly servlet

I am using oreilly servlet package and I want to change the file name to the file I am uploading, is this possible ?
How ?
Thanks.
here I post the servlet code:
package com.reducativa.sitio.servlets;
* DemoParserUploadServlet.java
* Example servlet to handle file uploads using MultipartParser for
* decoding the incoming multipart/form-data stream
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import java.io.*;
import com.oreilly.servlet.multipart.*;
public class DemoParserUploadServlet extends HttpServlet {
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException {
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
response.setContentType("text/plain");
out.println("Demo Parser Upload Servlet");
File dir = new File("f:/");
if (! dir.isDirectory()) {
throw new ServletException("Supplied uploadDir " + "f:/ " +
" is invalid");
try {
MultipartParser mp = new MultipartParser(request, 10*1024*1024); // 10MB
Part part;
while ((part = mp.readNextPart()) != null) {
String name = part.getName();
if (part.isParam()) {
// it's a parameter part
ParamPart paramPart = (ParamPart) part;
String value = paramPart.getStringValue();
out.println("param; name=" + name + ", value=" + value);
else if (part.isFile()) {
// it's a file part
FilePart filePart = (FilePart) part;
String fileName = filePart.getFileName();
if (fileName != null) {
// the part actually contained a file
long size = filePart.writeTo(dir);
out.println("file; name=" + name + "; filename=" + fileName +
", filePath=" + filePart.getFilePath() +
", content type=" + filePart.getContentType() +
", size=" + size);
else {
// the field did not contain a file
out.println("file; name=" + name + "; EMPTY");
out.flush();
catch (IOException lEx) {
this.getServletContext().log("error reading or saving file");
}

Hi there,
I am facing the same problem that you have stated in your Feb 26, 2002 10:28 AM message regarding "change file name with oreilly servlet", I would like to change the file name to include a unique identifier upon upload, did you ever find a solution to your problem?
Thanks!

How do I reconnect media after changing file name?

The original file name is 1001.WAV I changed it to Take1 . How do I relocate the files? I use Pluraleyes to sync all my files.
Cheers, Greg

Change it back. NEVER change file names in the Finder level if the media is in an FCP project. Change it BEFORE you import it into FCP...or change the name IN FCP. What you did was bad bad wrong wrong. Expecially since you already did things like sync it up with pluraleyes.
Change it back. Then change the name in FCP.

I just updated FF to 14.0.1 (Mac 10.6.8) and now netflix won't work. It's asking to restart in 32 bit mode and I changed it in the Get Info to 32 bit. No luck.

Try downloading the latest version of Microsoft Silverlight for Mac [http://microsoft-silverlight-mac.en.softonic.com/mac link text]. I just did this, and was able to play Netflix's streaming again--and without that "restart in 32-bit mode" button even appearing!

Changing the File Associations in Get Info doesn't seem to stick

Hey everyone. I hope I'm posting this in the best possible place. I just bought a new Mac Pro (single hexacore Westmere processor if that makes a difference) and I've found that the file associations aren't working. I will Get Info on a document and change the application it's supposed to open with. If I stop there, everything is great and the associated icon changes, but if I click Change All... (which is exactly what I want to do) and then click Continue, it reverts back to the default and doesn't change anything. I've changed repairing disk permissions but am a bit stumped after that. Anyone have any suggestions? I minor problem but kind of annoying (especially since I want my new baby to work perfectly). Thanks.

Grab a copy of RCDefaultApp and once installed you have a preference pane to set the Mime type/handling for any extension.

Change all file associations in get info dialog box

Hey all,
I got this program called Style Master to edit all of my CSS files. Well, BBEdit was still the app associated with the .css extension. If I used get info (cmd-i), changed the program from BBEdit to Style Master and then selected 'Change All' it would flip back to being associated with BBEdit. Even if I create a new css document in Style Master, it saves with a BBEdit association and icon. Quite annoying.
Any ideas why I can't change the file association from BBEdit to another program?

I believe the prefs associated with this action is: com.apple.LaunchServices.plist. Found in Users/Preferences. Place this file in the trash and retry.

Disk Utility Accident & Weird Symbol In Owner Name In Get Info

Recently, I was trying to troubleshoot some error messages I was getting with Carbon Copy Cloner, the source of which revolved around a mysterious file in my Shared folder. This file wouldn't delete no matter what I tried, so while searching for answers I heard that repairing permissions might help. Well, I forgot to read the message at the top of Disk Utility when I opened it. You know, the one that tells you that Disk Utility cannot repair permissions on a disk with open files or an on your current startup disk. Well, I ran disk utility without booting from the OS X install disk first. That probably explains why it made a bunch of changes to permissions.
Well, as I was about to close Disk Utility, I realized what I'd done, and I figured that it was no big deal. All I had to do was boot from the install disk and then run Disk Utility again, and it would repair the permissions the correct way. At least, that's what I thought. Then, when I did so, Disk Utility didn't make near as many changes as it did the first time. And, because I didn't realize until too late that I might need the output from the first time I ran Disk Utility in case something went wrong (i.e. I needed to undo any of the changes it made) I didn't even try to save it, if that is even possible.
Of course, this all didn't seem so bad. I thought that maybe the reason Disk Utility didn't make so many changes the second time was because some of the changes it made the first time really did need to be made, and thus that's why they weren't undone when I ran it again. However, I knew some thing was wrong when I tried to get info on a random file on my desktop just to verify that the owner was correct and everything. As soon as I either clicked or hovered over get info, I got the little rainbow spinning wheel for a second or two, which never happened before. Then, when I clicked the Ownership and Permissions triangle in the Get Info panel, I noticed something amiss. In the slot where the file's owner was supposed to be displayed, which should read "myusername(me)" the slot instead displayed some east asian character where my username should have been. So far, that, and a longer delay for the Get Info panel's appearance are my only symptoms, but I'm worried there may be further reaching repercussions to my system that I haven't discovered yet.
So, I guess what I'm asking is, based on my symptoms, can someone figure out what they think is wrong, and then possibly help me fix it. I don't know technical terms, but is it a corruption in the file that holds all the names of the users on my system? Is there a cache or preference file somewhere I can trash or edit to fix this. Or can I run fsck to fix this? Or, if it is a corrupted file like that I may have copy of it. I didn't mention it above, but Carbon Copy Cloner did manage to clone pretty much all of the folders on my hard drive in alphabetical order on an external firewire drive except for a few of the last few hidden folders and my Users folder.
Anyway, thanks in advance to everyone who takes the time to read this post.

Hi ailurous,
I run repair permissions all the time without first booting from the install disk. It works fine. On the other hand, attempting to Repair Disk without booting from the install disk will not work.
I'm thinking something other than faulty permissions is causing your problems..
That being said, I'd suggest booting off your install disk, running Disk Utility, and selecting First Aid>Repair Disk.
If it says that it couldn't repair the disk, just keep running it until it gives you the Disk Successfully Repaired message.
Let us know if this helps or if you get some error messages.

A mov file plays in 'Get Info' preview, but not in Quicktime

I recorded a talk to web cam yesterday using Quicktime Pro and edited out the overlong pauses and fluffs to produce a series of .mov clips. Today I copied and pasted the clips into one .mov file in Quicktime Pro. The first 12 clips were fine.
The 13th clip opened as if it was audio only, but when played did not give any sound. An examination of the movie properties window showed about 3 minutes of audio and video, but neither were selected and could not be selected. When I tried to extract the video thinking I could then reassemble the file, I got a message saying that one of my raw clips was missing. The file was saved as self-contained and is about 7 MBytes. When it opens with the appearance of an audio file the last part of the clip I pasted in is highlighted as if selected; this corresponds to the file it is asking for.
Now I had deleted my raw data as my hard drive is nearly full and I was getting warnings to that effect. But as the files had been saved as self-contained rather than reference, this should surely not be a problem.
The strange thing is that if I select the .mov file and do a 'get info' then I can play the audio and video perfectly in the 'get info' preview plan, up until that final part corresponding to the missing file.
It looks like I have to do the last bit once more, but how can I keep the rest of it? I've tried deleting the final part and re-saving, but it still opens with the appearance of an audio file (which is silent when I play it). I can at least listen to what I said in the first recording, but it would be good to be able to keep the part that plays in 'get info'.
Any ideas of how I can get to it?
Any ideas.

Solution found.
I simply created a new .mov file and changed its name to the raw file that Quicktime told me was missing when I tried to open my edited clip.
The edited clip now opens and I've been able to delete the final portion (which appears selected when the clip opens) and save the rest, which plays fine.
This seems to have been a problem because in this particular clip I left the final portion I pasted in selected when I saved the file, even though I saved is as self-contained, not a reference file.

Changing file name and directory structure for use outside of iPhoto

Hi,
I was wondering if its possible to get iPhoto to name the files from my library to reflect the names that I've given the files in iPhoto. I'm thinking along the lines of iTunes, where its possible to chose in the preferences how the files are named, and there is some logical directory structure, such as "Artist/Album/01 - Track 1.mp3". These file names are updated to reflect any changes made in iTunes.
I've heard the argument that I shouldn't ever want to do anything with the files themselves because iPhoto can do everything I would ever want to do, but I want to organize the files so that not all of my organizational work is lost if I decide to stop using iPhoto and transition to a different system. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Adrian

Adrian
No it's not possible.
You can rename the files before bringing them into iPhoto, you can rename them with the titles on Export (Use the File -> Export command, it gives you the option to use the title and filename) but when it's inside iPhoto you cannot rename the files.
However, all is not entirely lost. Using Film Rolls (View -> Film Rolls) you can move pics between rolls, name rolls, create rolls and so on, as long as you do this in the iPhoto Window, and these changes will be reflected in the iPhoto Library Folder.
If at some point you decide to chuck iPhoto then (if the new app won't read iPhoto database files) you can simply export each album you've created to a Folder (using the File -> Export command as I suggest above), this, along with exporting slideshows will preserve your organisational efforts.
The iTunes database has a rather simple job to do: track a file and it's assorted metadata. iPhoto, on the other hand, tracks a file and it's assorted metadata, plus a Modified version, plus a thumbnail. If you consider what happens when you edit a pic, for instance - Copy Original, perform edit, save modified version, remove Original Thumbnail and then create new one - you can see it's a rather more complex job.
Finally, the standard warning: It is strongly advised that you do not move, change or in anyway alter things in the iPhoto Library Folder as this can cause the application to fail and even lead to data loss. Any changes you make must be made in the iPhoto Window.
Need more info? by all means post again.

Author metadata separated by semi-colons truncated in file properties and "Get Info"

I'm using Acrobat Professional 9.0 (CS3) for Mac to edit the metadata for a collection of PDFs to be made available on the web. When I enter the data, I am inputting a list of authors separated by commas, like this: Smith J, Watson C, Brown J. If I click on "Additional metadata", the data I've already entered is transposed into the various XMP fields. And the commas separating the author names are changed to semi-colons. I gather that this happens because XMP wants to separate multiple authors with semi-colons, and Acrobat wants the metadata in XMP fields to match the metadata stored for the file properties. Fine.
However, if I save such a PDF and then use Get Info on my Mac (OSX 10.4) to look at the file properties, the list of authors is now truncated where the first semi-colon appears. The list is also truncated in Windows XP if I right-click and select properties. The list is also truncated when I look at the file properties in Preview on my Mac, or if I look at file properties using FoxIT, or using Adobe Acrobat Reader 7 or earlier. The only way a site visitor will actually be able to view the full list of authors in a file saved this way is to use Adobe Reader version 8 or later.
I would like to preserve XMP/Dublin Core/etc metadata in the proper format in the XMP code, but would also like users of standard, popular file viewers to be able to access the full list of authors. Is there a way to do this with Acrobat 9?
Also, once I've saved a file and the XMP metadata has been altered, Acrobat seems to permanently change the way that the authors are listed in the file properties. I cannot manually change those settings any longer without Acrobat overriding my changes and converting commas to semi-colons, or surrounding the entire list of authors in quotation marks. Is there a way to get around these Acrobat overrides and manually take control of my metadata again?
Does Windows Vista read the authors list correctly in the file properties if it is separated by semi-colons?
It seems to me that in an attempt to get XMP metadata working smoothly across the entire CS line, Adobe has jumped the gun somewhat and is now forcing Acrobat users to use "file properties" metadata that is really only fully compatible with Adobe products. Is there a way I can get some backwards compatibility on this?
Thanks for any suggestions or insight anyone can provide to this vexing issue.
Phil.

Bridge has some pretty powerful and helpful features. However, I am unable to figure out how to access the non-XMP "file properties" fields through Bridge, and if I add metadata via Bridge, then I run into the same problem regarding the use of semi-colons to separate authors.
If I had more time, or a larger set of files I might investigate the use of ExtendScript to import all my metadata from an Excel file (where it already exists) into the PDF file properties and XMP metadata.
The best solution for my case though appears to be to use Acrobat 9 and to do the double-edit process for each file. I should be able to just cut-and-paste the metadata from the Excel file, and then if I save the Authors list to the end, I can simply paste it once into the XMP field (through the Advanced metadata button) and then return to the regular file properties page and paste it again in there, where Acrobat will add quotes around it.
Lastly, if anyone else happens to find this post and is looking for similar information, I would recommend searching in the Bridge forum as well as the Acrobat forum.
Phil.
