Changing iTunes folder names

I have a lot of Classical CDs I am trying to put into iTunes. Problem 1 – whoever made these things was sloppy. An album of guitar music could come up spelled ghitare music on the folder or worse. Handel’s Chandos Anthems come up Chandons Anthems etc. Also I am irritated by the folder logic – I don’t want a folder for the orchestra performing something at the top level, I want the composer – eg Handel_Chandos Anthems Disk 1. But whenever I change the names of the folders, iTunes ignores me. Can I do anything about it?

If you have iTunes set to "Keep iTunes Media folder organized", the LAST thing you want to do is change folder names in Finder. You "break songs" that way and you end up with dozens of "!" tracks that you have to relocate, and guess what?
iTunes puts them RIGHT BACK where they were before you renamed the folder.
Renaming albums and artists shoukld always be done in your library.
I'm unaware of any way to force iTunes to create folders by composer, It uses Artist by default. Unless you change the Artist to the Composer, it won't use that name for the folder in your Media folder. It never has.

How to Change the Folder Name in Workbook

Hi there
I have a situation, I have created the workbook in existing folder (ORDER) in TEST business Area, now I have to move this report to another Business area (Custom) which has folder (Custom Order Folder), how can I change workbook folder name and item name, because my custom folder has different name.
Like-- Original BA (TEST)
ORDER (Folder)
Item1
Item2
Item3
Custom BA
CUSTOM Order Folder
Custom Item1
Custom Item2
Custom Item3
Any help Appreciated.
Thank
ASIM

Hi,
If you are able to export and delete the original folder, then you can rename the identifiers of the new folder to be the same as the original folderand then open the workbook so that it uses the new folder. If you save the workbook, then rename the identifiers and re-import the orignial folder then you should find that the workbook continues to use the new folder.
Otherwise take a look at this thread (Re: How to switch folder that report using form one to another? for a solution.

Mass changing of folder names in CRM under tcode COMMPR01

Hi Experts,
Good day!
I would like to ask help regarding mass changing of folder names in CRM in tcode 'COMMPR01' under documents tab. I tried to change the folder name of one material but it only updates the folder name for that specific material and not for the whole CRM box. Is there a way for me to do a mass change of name for the folders in CRM? Can this be done in customizing(SPRO)?
Thank you,
Christian del Rosario

Hi Christian,

Changing a folder name

I need to change my folder name with the home icon.. this can be changed by the user icon..... but when i change it it says i might lose information.... could someone please help

Here it is again but I didn't do anything different, and it works for Rudegar. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1428
Here's a copy and paste in case you still can get to it:
OS X: How to change user account name or home directory name
Summary Learn how to change your user account name and home directory name (which should match) by using the advanced procedure described below.
Products Affected
Mac OS X 10.4, Mac OS X 10.5, Mac OS X 10.6, OS X Lion, Mac OS X 10.0, Mac OS X 10.1, Mac OS X 10.2, Mac OS X 10.3, Mac OS X 10.4
About the account name
Each user in Mac OS X has a "Full Name" (referred to as "Name" in Mac OS X v10.5.8 or earlier) and an "Account name" (referred to as "Short Name" in Mac OS X v10.5.8 or earlier) as defined in the Users & Groups pane of System Preferences (referred to as Accounts pane or Users pane in Mac OS X v10.6.8 or earlier). The account name can contain up to 255 lowercase characters with no spaces. This is the name used to create a user's home directory (also known as the user's Home or Home folder) in the Users folder. Once the user has been created, the account name (or short name) cannot be changed in the Users & Groups pane of System Preferences.
Changing the account name
Though there are other methods by which an advanced user may change the short name and related information, the easier and safer workaround is described below.
Before following these steps, you may wish to back up your important data.
For Mac OS X v10.5 or later
Enable the root user.
Log in as root.
Navigate to the /Users folder.
Select the Home folder with the short name you want to change, and rename it just like you would rename any folder. Keep in mind that the shortname must be all lowercase, with no spaces, and only contain letters.
Use the Users & Groups pane (Accounts pane in Mac OS X v10.6.8 or earlier) in System Preferences to create a new user with the Account name or Short Name that you used in the previous step.
Click OK when "A folder in the Users folder already has the name 'account name'. Would you like to use that folder as the Home folder for this user account?" appears. Note: This will correct the ownership of all files in the Home folder, and avoid permissions issues with the contents.
Choose Log Out from the Apple menu.
Log in as the newly created user. You should be able to access all of your original files (on the desktop, in Documents, and in the other folders of this Home).
After verifying that your data is as expected, you can delete the original user account via the Users & Groups pane (Accounts pane in Mac OS X v10.6.8 or earlier).
Disable the root user.
For Mac OS X v10.4.11 and earlier
Optional step: As a precaution, you may disable automatic login prior to performing this procedure. You might want to back up important data, too. In the event that you restart the computer for any reason before completing the procedure, this would prevent complications from having displaced the user selected for automatic login. (For Mac OS X v10.1.5 or earlier, automatic login is found in the Login preference pane. For Mac OS X v10.2 and v10.3, it is found in the Accounts preference pane.)
Mac OS X v10.3 or later: If FileVault is enabled, temporarily turn it off, which will log you out.
Enable the root user and log in as root.
For Mac OS X v10.2 or later: Open the Accounts pane of System Preferences.
For Mac OS X v10.1.5 or earlier: Open the Users pane of System Preferences.
In the Name list, locate the user account with the short name that you want to replace. This will be referred to as the "original user".
Note whether or not the original user is identified as an administrator, which appears in the Kind column to the right.
Click New User. For Mac OS X v10.3 or later, this is the plus button.
Complete the Name and Short Name fields as desired. Be sure that the Short Name is exactly as you want it to appear.
For Mac OS X v10.2: Fill in the New Password and Verify fields.
For Mac OS X v10.1.5. or earlier: Click the password tab, then fill in the Password and Verify fields.
If the user you are replacing is an Admin user, then select the checkbox for "Allow user to administer this computer". For Mac OS X 10.3, click the Security tab to locate this setting.
Note: This checkbox is dimmed and already selected if there is not another Admin user. Mac OS X requires at least one Admin user.
Click Save. (Skip this step for Mac OS X v10.3.)
Quit System Preferences.
Click the Finder icon in the Dock.
Choose Computer from the Go menu.
Open the Users folder in the Mac OS X disk.
Open the folder with the short name of the new user that you just created.
Drag the contents of this folder to the Trash.
Important: Do not empty the Trash yet. In the event that you accidentally move contents of the wrong folder, you may recover them from the Trash after discovering your mistake.
Choose New Finder Window from the File menu. Be sure to position the new window so that you can see both Finder windows.
In the new window, open the folder of the original user.
Press the Option key as you drag the contents of the original user's folder into the new user's folder (that you emptied in Step 16). This makes a copy of the contents.
Close one of the Finder windows.
Open the Terminal application (located at /Applications/Utilities/).
Type: chown -R <new_name> /Users/<new_name>
Important: Replace "<new_name>" with the actual short name of the new user you just created. For example, if the new user had the short name "jacques", you would type:
chown -R jacques /Users/jacques
Press Return
Quit Terminal.
Choose Log Out from the Apple menu.
Log in as the new user. You should be able to access all of your original files on the desktop and in the folders of the Home directory.
Important: If you do not have access to your original items, log out and log back in as root, then repeat Step 22. Also, be sure that you did not place the wrong files in the Trash in Step 16.
Choose Home from the Go menu.
Open the Library folder, then the Keychains folder inside it.
Select the keychain, which should still have the short name of the original user.
Choose Show Info from the File menu.
In the Info window that appears, choose Name & Extension from the pop-up menu.
Change the name to match the new user's short name.
Close the Info window.
Open the Keychain Access application, located in the Utilities folder.
From the Edit menu, choose "<new_name> Settings". For the user Jacques, this would appear as: "jacques Settings".
Click Change Passphrase.
Enter the desired password, then click OK. You may use the same password again or set it to match the login password of the new user.
Note: This step prevents you from discovering later that the keychain had retained an older password.
Quit Keychain Access.
Disable the root user.
If everything is working correctly, you do not need to log back in as root to empty the Trash. The folders you put there occupy a negligible amount of disk space.
Depending on what software you have installed, you may wish to rename other files and folders that may have been created under the original user short name to match the new user short name.
Once you are certain that everything is working properly, you may want to delete the Home directory (folder) of the original user, which should be empty. For instructions on how to do this, see this article.
Additional Information Note: Although you can change your Home name in Mac OS X v10.3 or later, you usually shouldn't.

How to change home folder name

How to change home folder name ?

Here are the instructions from Apple on changing user short name or home directory name. I've used this on a couple of used MacBooks I've bought on eBay. And remember to go into System Preferences>Sharing and change the Computer Name in there.

Restrict Permission to change the Folder name of Cfolder Collaboration

Hi,
As a part of my requirement i would like to restrict the users having the 'WRITE' authorizations from changing the folder name of folders created under the collaboration. It would be great if you any one can provide some inputs to achieve it

Hello Vikas,
I can tell you a workaround, how to achieve this.
as an administrator with admin authorization navigate into a folder press the authorization button and select read authorization for (a) user(s)/user group(s)/role(s) used in the collaboration.
Then create under the folder a new folder "Workspace" and navigate into this folder press the authorization button and select write authorization for (a) user(s)/user group(s)/role(s) used in the collaboration.
The procedure could be automated by writing a piece of code, which calls the cFolders APIs:

Active Content: cannot change Scripts folder name?

Using DW 8.0.2.
After I accept the Active Content workaround to be applied to
my pages, I'd like to change Scripts folder name to "scripts" or
even move the scripts to my "jscript" folder, which already exists.
When I do this DW correctly asks to update the page links, but even
with the correct links the scripts does not run anymore.
It seems to be caused by some JS code included in the
scripts, which points to "Scripts" folder in site root. But I don't
know enough JS to identify and modify this. Any help will be very
welcome.

Shouldn't happen. I have moved the AC .....js file many times
to different
folders and if the path is correct, everything works
properly. Can you
please post a link.
You cannot lose until you give up !!!

Changing "untitled event" no longer changes coinciding folder name

I guess this doesn't cause any sort of problem, but is a change I've noticed and just trying to figure out why. I just upgraded to the new iPhoto '09. I recently uploaded photos from my camera and then changed the folder name from "untitled event" to a custom name, as I've done many times in the past. Previously, if I then went to "show package contents" in the iPhoto library, the new name I had changed the event to would also show as the folder name within the iPhoto library. Suddenly that's not happening since the upgrade. My most recent folder was changed, but when I look at that same folder in the package contents, it still just shows the date and not the custom name. Has anyone else noticed this? Again, not a problem, or causing any issues. But I do find it odd that the event name now would no longer coincide with one another.

No one is - and no one is really happy about it - but since you really don't (at least shouldn't) go into the iPhoto library very often it also is not a giant deal

Why when I change itunes file name does it not change the info in the folder?

So you download music it has it's info in the folders if you click in the order of music- artist- album - then it displays the file
Q1, if you edit the iTunes name of the file (through iTunes) why does it leave the folder name the same??
Q2, How can you make what displays in your iTunes library (worded wise) display like that in your windows folders without going through each file 1 by 1 twice?

Check your setting under Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Keep iTunes Media folder organized.
Changes in capital letters may not be enforced.

Windows File Crawling - change of folder names in KD?

I setup a Windows File crawler and have it set to mirror the folder structure of the imported path.
However, I would like to slightly change some of the folder names in the KD and leave them the same on the actual share drive.
In my attempts to do this the crawler keeps reverting the filenames back to the way they are on the share drive.
Is there any setting that I can change that might allow me to do this?
I assume its a lost cause, but figured I'd check anyway.
Thanks for any help!

You're correct. It's a lost cause.

Keyboard not working (sometimes) when attempting to change file/folder name

Every now and then, my keyboard doesn't seem to work when I'm trying to change the name of file or folder. I can't isolate any particular context when this occurs. When it happens, the keyboard works fine in other applications.
Any ideas on why this happens?

Here's a description of what happens. Let's say I want to change the name of a file or folder on my desktop. I click the item, then the name, and the name becomes editable. Every now and then, even though the file/folder name is in the edit mode (highlighted or cursor inserted), when I try to type nothing happens (the name doesn't change). When this occurs, the keyboard functions properly in all other ways.
Again, I can't isolate the circumstances leading up to this. Any ideas?
