Changing the gallery name doesn't "stick."

Hello, I have one gallery (all you can presently have with iPhoto 8) with a few password-protected albums. When I use iPhoto preferences to change the name of the gallery, previous gallery names appear on both the gallery and album pages of idisk. Emptying Safari's cache and reloading the current Safari page does not seem to help. Anyone have any clues what might be going on here? Thanks, PP

Strange ideed, greencode.
In such a case the Align to Pixel Grid may haunt the object into new documents, but it should show when the object is selected.
So it seems that it is really a ghost here.
It may be far out, but you may try to close down Illy and then either press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible) or Move the folder with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible).
Both will reset the preferences; the latter way you may move the folder back if it brings no cure to recover customized preference settings.

How to Change the iPod "name"

Well friends,
I posted a msg and got an answer that my wife claims doesn't work. Short story - I am new to iPod. Never touched one before. Bought one for wife in Iraq. Loaded music and shipped it in 24 hours. Well, somewhere in the process I "changed the iPod name" to her Name and Rank - go figure, she's in the Army. Well, I am the devil and she can't figure out the name change (to her first name only). I received the following steps that she claims to have followed. Can some one please look at their pod and help me?
To change the name of the iPod, you must connect it to a computer with iTunes installed. If you have Windows, follow these instructions: Once connected, start iTunes and follow these instructions:
1. Once the iPod appears in the Playlist tree to the left, Single-click on the name of the iPod.
2. In a second or two, a text box will appear around the name.
3. Enter the new name.
4. Click anywhere else in the iTunes window.
5. The iPod will be renamed. (this may take a few seconds)
Sincerely,
Suffering Husband
aka The Devil for Naming her iPod
60 GB iPod Windows XP

You could also try selecting the iPod in iTunes (in the source pane on the left) and then click F2 on the keyboard. You should be able to rename it there.
Also, if the iPod is updating new songs an all (and blinking red in iTunes) it might now work right away. You can try again later in the updating process.

Finder changes the file name in Save/Save As dialogue box

Whenever I save or save as a file, the dialogue box opens, but when I make the file list active when using a mouse, the file name I click to changes the file name I am saving. I simply want to activate the file list window so I can find the right folder. For example if I am looking for a folder called "Receipts" I want to be able to click on the file list window to activate it and then type the first 2 letters of the folder-- "re" and then save the file in that folder. The finder keeps changing the name of the current file whenever I click on one of the "greyed-out" file names? This doesn't make sense unless of course I want to replace that file.
Is there a shortcut that makes the file list window in the dialogue box active while in the SAVE/SAVE AS dialogue box??

Yes, this example of horrible UI design has been a problem since "Panther". It illustrates what happens when you try to copy UI behaviour from another OS, do it poorly, and end up with a mess. In 10.3 and 10.4, the combination of the renaming behaviour with the default "replace" selection in the resulting save can result in data loss.
Compared to the old Mac OS where a tab would flip the focus between the text field for the file name and the file browser, the current behaviour either doesn't allow enough keyboard access to controls, or with "full access" enabled, too many to cycle through easily. The inability to switch focus to the file browser using the mouse (depending on the view) is a horrible productivity loss. Having to recheck the filename before saving is a horrible productivity loss. Since there is no "undo" for the renaming in most files, having to retype the name is again, a horrible productivity loss.
If they had done it right (a simple change, like requiring a modifier to rename), users would probably welcome the "rename" feature as a useful addition. Instead, it has the feel of something a junior Windows-trained programmer slipped in past their supervisor.
In short, I am not aware of any workaround or hack to avoid this "renaming" behaviour. I doubt it will do any good since people have been doing so since "Panther", but you could try submitting feedback:

Changing the Computer name with ARD

Hello, I am new to mac but I am now in charge of running a mac network or machines for an art department. I see that with ARD you cna change the computer name. If you change the computer name does it just change anything on the client machine? I just want to change the name in my All computers name so its easier to identify each users machine.

There are four User-fields that you can enter information into with ARD. What I've done in the past is put the primary user of a computer into one of those fields. That way the user doesn't appear in the machine name, but I can still easily access this information.
Note that if these computers are also in a Workgroup Manager group, that WGM will just change the name back on you. You would need to rename the computer through Workgroup Manager for this name change to take affect.

Changing the home name

I just bought a powermac g5 off my friend and the main user account is under my name but the home icon is still in his name and most of the computer information has his name on it. I don't want to re do the whole computer because it has a lot of programs on it that i don't want to get rid of. How do I change the home name on the computer.

Aperture: After changed the file name in Finder Aperture can't load the referenced file anymore

After I've changed the file name/format in Finder Aperture can't load/relink to the referenced file anymore. For some reasons I don't like to reimport the file.

As you told, the command "Locate Referenced File" doesn't work, if the filename doen't match exactly. And the filenames should keep their new names.
"Locate Referenced File" will be able to reconnect one file at a time, if you direct Aperture to the matching file in the Loate Referenced File dialog, but it will not be able to recognise the other matching referenced files and to reconnect them all at once with the "Reconnect All" button.
It will be a lot of work to reconnect the one by one. Usually it is much easier to rename the original master files using Metadata > Batch change in Aperture than to try to do that in the Finder.

Changing the form name in a .js file

hi,
I am trying to use .js files instead of script in the jsp page with the use of
<script src="root/scripts/foo.js"></script>.
This foo.js has got the functions which access the information of the form in which they are included. So if I specify a dummy form name in the script, while a page (say "thisPage.jsp" with a form name "thisForm")is loading I would like all the references in the javascript file which are like this document.someFormName.---- to document.thisForm.--.
How do I do this.
regards,
f

actually, what you asked is completely a Javascript question. There's nothing JSP related about it. Nothing.
Your actual question, the one you actually posted, was answered correctly. If your question was wrong, then that's not our problem.
What does concurrent users have to do with anything anyway? Are they all using the same PC and browser instance at the same time? I doubt it. All the code you are referring to is Javascript code, and that will only run in the browser, not on the server, so concurrent user actions have nothing to do with it.
If you want to change the form name in JSP, then you can do so when writing the page:
<form name="<%= theFormName %>" action="..." method="POST">
Otherwise, 'document.'+name ..., eval(), all that is Javascript, not JSP, has nothing to do with JSP or other users.
So in conclusion, I don't think it's us people that posted answers interpretting things wrong, it's you who doesn't have any idea what he's doing.

How to change the package name of View or Window

Hi all,
i have created the Webdynpro Application.i have some Views and Windows in the WebDynpro Peoject.i want to change the package Names of Views.is it possible???
thanks in advance
regards
Naidu

Hi Naidu
Though you rename the package name, the view in that package refers to the old package and hence that view can be used in other views by including the old package name only. Renaming doesn't have significance that you expect. You can create a new package and views in it and copy the implementation of views from the old package to the views in the new package.

The song name doesn't match to itunes.

Ever since i've update my itunes, i've encountered this problem. I change the song name and artist info by right-clicking the song and then clicking 'get info', but after i sync and take out my iphone 4s, the song name change doesn't appear on my phone. Anyone got any ideas?

If you back it up right, you will not lose anything.
And to unsync, follow these steps, exactly as I write them.
1. Plug in device, open iTunes.
2. On the left hand column of iTunes, click on the "XXXX's iPhone" under Devices
3. Above the picture of the iPhone in the middle of your screen, there will be tabs, they start with Summary, Info, Apps ect...
4. Locate the tab called "Music" and click on it
5. Uncheck the box for syncing music
6. Then click the "Apply" button in the bottom right corner, then wait for it to unsync
7. To resync, then just check the box next to Sync Music again, and apply the changes again.
If any of the steps look different than what you see, let me know.

Remove an iOS device or Mac on which you can’t turn off Find My iPhone
If you can’t turn off Find My iPhone on the device, turn off the device so it goes offline, then remove it from Find My iPhone on iCloud.com.

                           Turn off the device.
                           Sign in to icloud.com/#find on another computer with your Apple ID (the one you use with iCloud).                                                      If you’re using another iCloud app, click the app’s name at the top of the iCloud.com window, then click Find My iPhone.
                           Click All Devices, select the offline device, then click Remove from Account.

If the device comes online again, it will reappear in Find My iPhone. To make sure your device doesn’t reappear, turn off Find My iPhone on the device (follow the instructions above to remove an iOS device or Mac), or if you have an iOS device, you can erase it, then remove it (follow the instructions below to remove an iOS device you no longer have).

How can I change the account name in iCloud. My email has changed and I want to change it on iCloud.

How can I change the account name in iCloud. My email has changed and I want to change it on iCloud.

To change your iCloud ID, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new ID. This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your device, but not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your device when you sign back in.
To avoid losing photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll (if not already there) before deleting the account. To do this, open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.
To change the ID on your Mac, go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign out, choose Delete for all the prompts (your data will still be in iCloud), then sign back in with the changed ID.

How can I change the "Full Name" for my iCloud account?

Hello,
At some point in the past, iCloud started identifying me as someone else when I send emails. This incorrect name appears to be the "Full Name" setting of the email account, but when modifying the properties for the email account in Mail the field for modifying the "Full Name" setting is disabled, not allowing me to make any changes.
Where is the correct place to change the "Full Name" setting for my iCloud account?
Thanks,
- Josh
<Email Edited By Host>

I believe it can be changed by going to https://appleid.apple.com/, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in with your iCloud ID, select "Name, ID and Email Addresses", then click "Edit" next to the name listed under "Your Name" and change it as desired.
Also, if you are trying to change the sender name for your iCloud email account, you'll want to go to icloud.com, sign into your account, open Mail, click the gear shaped icon on the bottom left and choose Preferences, go to the Accounts tab and enter the name you want to use in the Full Name field and click Done. Then quit Mail (Command-Q) on your Mac and re-open it. Your new From name should now appear in the drop-down list when you compose a new email.
(The image was removed in your post above because it showed your iCloud email address.)

how can i change the name that appears linked to my icloud account? (note that as i already sayd my Apple ID has my name now, i jsut want to know why is not my name in my icloud account?)
thank you,

I believe it can be changed by going to https://appleid.apple.com/, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in with your iCloud ID, select "Name, ID and Email Addresses", then click "Edit" next to the name listed under "Your Name" and change it as desired.

How can I change the "short name" of my account?

I want to change the short name of my account because when my dad bought this computer for me he set up the account with his name as the short name and it has been bothering me ever since.
When I go to system preferences and then accounts my account is listed and when I click on it under password I am able to change my name, but not my short name because it is greyed out and cannot be clicked. Is there any way to change the short name on my account? I can't even delete my account and make a new one because the account delete button is greyed out when I click on my account.
Also, I went to my home folder and changed that from my dad's name to my name. This has reset every program on my computer to default settings! For example when I open my Safari browser a message pops up saying a keychain cannot be found to store Safari and asks me if I want to restore default settings.
So pretty much I've tried to change the short name on my administrative account, I reset everything to default settings and my short name is still my father's name. Can anyone help me out here?

Try this.
Or you could just create a new account and delete the old one.
