Copying pictures w/ the same name to a cd

How do I get pictures with the same assigned name.jpg onto a CD. These are different pictures downloaded at different but given the same name. I'm asked if I want to replace the picture with the same name.
thanks,
Steve

Hi Steven,
This is a pain in the butt when you want to do that. I went through the thing myself. My old camera always started from 1 each time I cleared the card, thus giving me many images with the same name once imported into iPhoto.
What I had to do is share/export the images from a roll or album at a time. In the export window I chose to use the name of the album for the naming scheme. You will not run into a problem this way. Or you can make sure each has a different title, and use the title as the naming scheme.
whatever you do, don't have it replace the picture with the same name.

Copy folders with the same name deletes contents of original folder

When backing up some iTunes songs manually I selected the folders I wanted to copy and copied them, then I pasted them into my backup folder.
I got the warning windows about folders having the same name, I could only cancel or replace. So I clicked replace. Then when I checked inside one of the destination folders the original contents of the folder has been erased and only the new files are left.
Has the way Snow Leopard deals with copying folders changed? As I am sure this did not happen before I upgraded.
I tried it on the command line with 'cp -aR' and everything worked as expected, but it does not warn that the folder already exists.
How do I get 'cp -aR' functionality out of finder?

After alot more searching it seems mac OS X has always done this, but I never noticed it before.
I can copy my backups over the network with:
cp -aR Music/source_folder /Volumes/server_name/Music/
ditto can be used as well.

Bridge copy and paste folders with the same name question

I just copied and pasted a folder named, as an example, "concerts" with a bunch of pictures to another drive with a folder with the same name.
I choosed "substitute" when prompted and all the pics existing in old "concerts" folder have been deleted and replaced with just the new ones.
So pasting a folder can't add files to the folder with the same name, but it completely replaces it. The other prompted option creates a "concerts (1)" new folder.
Luckyly before moving files I always do a backup, so it's not a big issue, but I'm amazed by such behaviour. Also deleted pictures don't appear in the recycle bin. They are completely lost!

Are you on Windows? don't know the options you tell, I have three options (Mac) called: 'cancel', 'replace' and 'auto resolve' when dealing with one file and for multiple files it adds 'skip' to the list and has the option for 'apply all'
Replace does what it says, it replaces files and folders with the same name, auto resolve adds a (1) to the files or other number if more with same name are added.
So pasting a folder can't add files to the folder with the same name, but it completely replaces it. The other prompted option creates a "concerts (1)" new folder.
This is normal and wished behavior, you get a warning if names are the same and a choice to either overwrite them or add them with a new (different) filename.

Heard that before but can't replicate this, they always appear in the trash on my Mac.

HT1473 Often times when I copy a CD into my library it breaks the CD into more than one Album, all with the same name but with only a few of the songs on each. This happens whenever the CD has music with more than one artists...like maybe duets.

Often times when I copy a CD into my library it will break my CD into multiple albums in my library, each with only a few songs.
Usually this is because there might be songs where the artists has other artists in the song.
How can I compile all of the different albums (all with the same name by the way) back into one as was the original disc?

Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

Any way to import a copy of a photo with the same name without renaming?

I organize all my photos in my picture folder on my desktop, and I sometimes copy and paste the same photo into different folders so that I can use them for different purposes without having to hunt them down. I've never had to rename them as long as I've put them into a new folder, but when I imported my picture files into Lightroom 3, it only took the first copy of any picture and left out the other copies in subsequent folders. Is there any way to fool Lightroom into importing them without having to go back and rename all of them?
Thanks so much for any help!

Thanks for the tip . . . I found the checkbox and it worked just fine!
The reason I store multiple copies of the same photo is because I edit photos for my daughter's online business. I always keep an original folder that does not get touched, then make copies of the photos I am going to edit for her in a seperate folder so that I know exactly which ones I'm working with (I don't edit ALL the photos). Once I make my edits, I store the edits in her business file (since she does not need any of the others) and delete the copies; therefore leaving my originals untouched. I was trying to pull some "edits in progress" into LR to throw a preset on them, and it wouldn't allow me to because it had already downloaded the original in a previous folder. Maybe not the best way to organize photos, but it seems to have worked so far. Especially with the volume of photos I deal with for my daughter's business as well as my personal stuff. Another reason I make copies of the same photo is when I'm downloading photos to Facebook. They are not always contained in the same folder, so I make a copy of the photos I want for FB then just edit and download that folder. When I'm done, I delete it after moving the edits. But there may come a time I'll want to pull that folder into LR just to work on those selected photos. Hence the need for duplicates.
I just got LR3 yesterday, and my instructional book should arrive today. I plan on reading it and hopefully it will provide a better way to organize my folders if you say this is not a good idea. I have no idea what "virtual" folders are, but definitely plan on looking in to it. Thanks so much for your advice!

HT5767 My mail all of a sudden would not allow me to delete messages in my inbox saying, "couldn't be copied to "Messages" because an item with the same name already exists." Found it duplicates the message I wanted deleted in trash.

Still using the @mac.com mail address and up to date on everything, but have not gone to Maverick. All of a sudden Mail wouldn't let me delete. Said that title of email was already in trash. And sure enough it was. Clicking on the help button on the message gets Nothing.

Any ideas. My mail is not tied to gmail etc.. just all by it's lonesome.

This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Generally adding a common album artist will fix things.

Need help moving pictures to a flash drive with the same name....

i can't figure this out. i have several hundred pictures that i want on a flash drive for my digital frame. apparently some of them have the same name assigned from the camera ex: dsc01403, etc. sitting down and re-naming them is not an option for that many. when i used windows and ran into this issue, it would just create a different file name. so for example, i would have dsc01403 and it would create the second one as dsc01403 (2). i can't figure out how to get the mac to do that. the only options i get are "don't replace, stop, replace". i tried the 'don't replace' option thinking that would do it, but it doesn't.
so first: did that make sense?
second: anyone know how to work around this?
thanks!!

You won't be able to move your emails from aol.com to your Flash drive (they are on a website, not your computer) if you are using AOL desktop, you might be able to, but you probably won't be able to open them. Anyway, this is a firefox support site, not aol, I'd suggest contacting them.

After upgrading my 3gs to ios5, I get 2 copies of pictures synced from my computer, 1 in the Photo Library and another in a library with the same name as the folder I put the pictures in to put on the phone. Any ideas why?

When syncing pictures from my computer to my I-Phone I get 2 copies of the pictures, 1 in the Photo Library and another in a library with the same name as the folder I put pictures in to put on the phone. This started after I upgraded to ios5. I have tried re-installing I-Tunes. I have not reset the phone. My main concern is the amount of memory pictures take up on the phone. It's not a problem now but could be in the future. Any Ideas on why this happening?

It has always been this way. it was never different. This is how the iphone handles photos - always has.
There are NOT two copies, There are simply two ways to access the very same photos. All synced photos will ALWAYS be under Photo Library ( you can look at all photos at once this way or do a slideshow of all photos). Those very same photos can also be accessed from the individual folders so you can show or slideshow just that folder.
Just as a book can be in the library and in the fiction section, there is only one book/photo.

When we click on the copy botton record with same name should not be saved

Hi,
Copy button will copy the record with the same name and will save it.our requirement is when we click on the copy botton ,record with same name should not be saved
we are performing this task in custom object 12 and exposed Opportunity Name in the layout.
Records with same Opportunity Name should not save ..when we copy the record
Can we perform any field validation on Opportunity Name field?
Please help
please email me @ [email protected]
Thanks
Srinivas Merugu

Opportunities that are assoicated to the same account cannot have the same name. You cannot make this unique for your whole instance. The only way that you could do this would be to create a webservice application that checks this before you save the record.
What about defaulting the name each time this could make the record unique?

You can't copy "iTunes" because it has the same name as another item

I did not have enough space on my old MacBook to hold my iTunes library, so purchased a passport HD to hold my music. I now have an imac and am trying to copy my itunes library from the drive onto my iMac. But when i try to copy i get this message:
"You can’t copy “Tyler iTunes” because it has the same name as another item on the destination volume, and that volume doesn’t distinguish between upper- and lowercase letters in filenames."
I tried deleting all files on the computer with the word iTunes, but it keeps happening. I saw on some other threads something about the drives' formatting, so just for reference my passport is formatted "Case-sensitive, journaled" and my iMac is "journaled"
I'm pretty good with computers and this just has me stumped. Its doing this on my fathers macbook pro purchased at the same time, so two new computers with the same problem, two different hard drives for each library. Same message. I'm baffled.

I now have an imac and am trying to copy my iTunes library
What exactly are you trying to copy?
There is no folder named "iTunes library".
I tried deleting all files on the computer with the word iTunes
Search for "Tyler iTunes", the same as the folder you are trying to copy.

Iphoto shows two photo libraries with the same name, one in small letters the other in all capital letters. they both open the same library and the only one in my computer. How do delete the capital letrs one as the one in the pictures folder is in

In my iPhoto application when I select switch libraries It shows 2 libraries with the same name, but one has the name is in Capital letters.
They both open the same library which is in the Pictures folder. This is the only library I can see and the name is not in capital letters?
How do I get rid of the one in capital letters

What is your iPhoto version?
when I select switch libraries It shows 2 libraries with the same name, but one has the name is in Capital letters.
In the Library Chooser Panel look for the pathes to the two duplicate libraries. You will see the location of the libraries in the path bar at the bottom of the window when you select one of the libraries. Does it show both libraries in the same folder?

Cannot delete read mail. Keep getting the following message "926540.emlx" couldn't be copied to "Messages" because an item with the same name already exists.

I am trying to free up room on my hard drive but keep getting the following message. “926540.emlx” couldn’t be copied to “Messages” because an item with the same name already exists. 926540.emix is the number given to the email I want to delete. This message appears (with a different .emix number) when I try to delete any mail. I have junk mail from 2014 to 2009 that I want to delete

Back up all data. Rebuild the mailbox. Try again to delete the message.

When deleting messages I get this message:"74608.emlx" couldn't be copied to "Messages" because an item with the same name already exists. How can I fix this problem?

When trying to delete messages in mail, I've been getting this message:“74608.emlx” couldn’t be copied to “Messages” because an item with the same name already exists." The numbers at the beginning are always different but the ".emlx" and the rest of the statement is always the same. How can I fix this problem?

HT2500 Error when deleting email: Apple Support Communities

"91590.emlx" couldn't be copied to "Messages" because an item with the same name already exists. How do I fix this?

The delete button in Mail gives me this message: “91590.emlx” couldn’t be copied to “Messages” because an item with the same name already exists. The only thin that has changed is an OS update last evening. (Mountain Lion)

Thanks...it was spooky seeing the mail in my box suddenly disappear and blank after going to Mailbox and Rebuild. But "poof" it was up again and was able to delete without the messages telling me it had a duplicate in trash (which it did). Solved the problem.
