Changing names of photos

I'm trying to make copies of large amounts of photos from iPhoto 6, and put them in a single, easily accessible folder on my desktop (easiest way to make them my desktop slideshow).
Problem is some of my photos have the same name (like two or three photos with the name IMG_703.JPG), so when I place them in the folder it gives me a prompt to replace, don't replace, or cancel.
I've probably done the stupid thing already by renaming some photos (ball game 3.JPG, senior banquet 6.JPG), but I want to know what is the right way to do this? Is there a setting I need to fix in my camera (Canon Rebel XT), or do I just go on ahead and change the names of the photos?

see my reply to your other identical post.
Regards

  • Change name on photo album

    How do I change the name of a photo album

    Albums that you sync from your computer will take the name of the folder (or album if using iPhoto/Aperture) that they came from on your computer, and albums that you create directly on the iPad can't have their names changed once you've created them - so will either need to change their name on your computer and re-sync them, or (for those created on the iPad), delete them and re-create them

  • TS3989 how to change names on photo albums

    On my Ipad and Iphone... How do I change album names... Why when I deleted one photo stream it then named my other album photo stream?
    IT STOPPED PHOTO STREAMING.... ALL HAS BEEN CHECKED AND STOPPED COMPLETELY.

    This are "Favorites." In the current version of Safari with iOS 8 you can change those by tapping the Bookmarks icon (looks like an open book) and then tapping Favorites. May be slightly different in your iOS 6.1.2

  • How do i change name on photo event

    how do i find the place to rename event names in iphoto

    Maybe this question is better in the iPhoto forum.
    Just click the events name, and while it is highlighted, just type in a new name.

  • Why won't name change on some photos take?

    I am trying to change the names on photos in a photo album.  Sometimes the name change takes, but other times, after changing the name, after a few seconds, the name changes back to the previous one.  Why is this happening only on some photos and not others and how can I stop it?

    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • Changed all my photos names by accident..

    By accident I changed all my photos names. All my 30.000 pictures have the same name now.( with different numbers at the end.) How can I fixe this. I have an old back up catalogue with the right names.  Or is my only option to copy my back up from my external hard drive to my computer and synchronise it in lightroom..
    is there anyone hiow can help me??
    groet Igor

    If you changed these file names by accident in your operating system, I think your only choice is to move the backup photos to the exact same folders where the original photos are located.

  • Opening iphoto I get an error message that says "you can't open your current photo library using this version of iphoto.  You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iphoto.  Please quit and use the latest version of iphoto.

    Opening iphoto I get an error message that says "you can't open your current photo library using this version of iphoto.  You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iphoto.  Please quit and use the latest version of iphoto."  I wouldn't have a clue as to how to change to a new version of iphoto even if I wanted to. 

    If you don't have a backup you can resort to give this a try:
    Starting over from scratch with new library
    Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
    1. Open the library package like this.
    2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    3. Drag the subfolders of the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window a few at a time.
    This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
    Note:  your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

  • How can I change my Profile photo or edit the thumbnail?

    QuestionHow can I change my Profile photo or edit the thumbnail?
    AnswerThere are a couple of different ways to change your profile photo or thumbnail image on Tagged.
    Here's a quick How-to video that shows you how to change your profile photo
    If you wish to change your profile photo, follow the instructions listed below:
    Hover your mouse over 'More' in the top Nav bar and select Photos.
    To use one of your previously uploaded photos as your profile photo, place the cursor over the photo you wish to use, and click the small green “#1” box when it appears
    If you wish to use a new image as your profile photo, upload the image to your photo gallery, and then click the small green “#1” box on the photo
    If you are viewing one of your photos individually, you can also set it as your profile photo by hovering over it and clicking the same green "#1" button.  You may also edit the caption and comment on your photo in this view
    You can also change your profile photo by doing the following:
    On the Navigation bar click Profile and select the Edit Profile link to the left of your Profile picture.
    To upload a photo locally from your computer, click the “Browse” button, select the image you wish you use, and then click “Upload”.
    To upload a photo using an image URL address, click the “Add from image URL” link, paste the URL address into the field, and click “Add Photo”.
    To use a photo from your gallery, click the “Use one of my photos” link to open a thumbnail gallery of your uploaded images.  Click on a thumbnail to set that image as your profile photo.
    After selecting a photo, you can alter its thumbnail by the marquee box by dragging the “anchor” points of the box.  When you are finished, click "Save Thumbnail"

    HELP! I was fooling around with my profile pic and selected and saved a cropped thumbnail. I hate it, and I haven't been able to figure out how to return my thumbnail to just a mini-version of my full profile pic. I've even re-up-loaded a copy of the original photo, with a different file name, but Tagged automatically crops it to the same thumbnail.  Is there any way to return my thumbnail to just a mini-version of my whole pic?  Thanks for your help :~)  

  • Help changing my user photo

    im trying to change my user photo when i log into my MacBook air. I tagged faces into everyone one of my photos, but when I go to change my photo none of the pictures will show up under faces. It just says that I can go tag faces into my photos? Any help figuring out why they won't show up or how I can change my photo?

    Hi Carissalong98,
    Happy Holidays!  Is the photo you want to use for your User account on your MacBook in iPhoto or Aperture?  One thing you can try is to drag the photo to your desktop and then drag it from the Finder application to your account settings.  The article below explains to add a picture to your User settings.
    OS X Yosemite: Add a user picture
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH18896
    Your user picture appears next to your name in the login window, and is used by apps such as Mail, Messages, and Contacts. You can choose your own picture. 
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Users & Groups.
    Click the lock icon  to unlock it, then enter an administrator name and password. 
    Select your user, then click the picture.
    Do one of the following:
    Use an existing picture: Click a category, then select a picture. 
    Defaults: Pictures that are included with OS X. 
    Recents: Pictures that were recently used as user pictures. 
    My Photo Stream: Pictures from your iPhoto photo stream. 
    Faces: Faces recognized in iPhoto. 
    Linked: Picture from Contacts. 
    You can also drag and drop an image file from the Finder onto the user picture.
    Click Done.
    Cheers,
    Judy

  • How do I change name of ipod touch on windows when it it says it is  a different name?

    When I connect my ipod touch to my computer it is recognized as another family members ipod but has my photos.  How do I change name?

    Another thing to remember is the phone is actually usable for 911 calls and maybe others. Not a real good idea. Especially for a child.
    It would depend however on the age of the child.
    Good Luck

  • I try to open iphoto and it comes up with You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto. I have downloaded photo manager and it's telling me to update but it wont update...

    I try to open iphoto and it comes up with You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto. I have downloaded photo manager and it's telling me to update but it wont update...

    iPhoto is Apple's included program to manage your photo's and pictures.
    It receives updates over time with Software updates and new machine or iLife purchases.
    When iPhoto gets updated or a newer version is used, it may alter iPhoto support files, but newer iPhoto versions usually always compatible with older files which it then updates.
    If you used a newer iPhoto on your iPhoto support files, then they got altered to the newer format, older iPhoto versions can't read the older format.
    Somewhere along the line you somehow got a older version of iPhoto on your computer, you need to fine the newer version of iPhoto (not this photo manager, sounds like another program)
    Or somewhere along the line you used a newer iPhoto version (like on another Mac) and it altered the iPhoto support files on your older version of iPhoto.
    So the key here is to find the newest version of iPhoto and use that to access your iPhoto support files.
    If you didn't access your iPhoto support files from another Mac, then you should have the newer iPhoto version on your computer.
    Once you find it, and get it in the Dock, you should remove the older iPhoto version from your computer to prevent this from happening again.
    Lastly, if the newer version of iPhoto is somehow gone off your computer, you should be able to get a copy off the latest OS X install disk or iLife using a free program called Pacifist.
    http://www.charlessoft.com/
    Then you need to check for updates for iPhoto in the program itself, the current version is 9.1.2
