Duplicating a layer/folder adds the word "Copy" at the end - How to disable this?

Hello World,
Every time you duplicate a folder or a layer, it adds the word "Copy" at the end. Is there a way to get rid of this?
I've been looking for a solution to this for the past 2 years. I spend 8 hours a day in Photoshop creating Comps. I'm crazy about having my layers clean, therefore I use a lot of folders, etc.
I probably waste an hour a day removing the $%)?#* Copy word at the end of layers/folders. This is driving me CRAZY while losing a lot of precious time.
Any clues?
I'm still hoping Adobe will get rid of this with every new release and it never happens. Am I actualy the only one to think this "feature" is insane?
Thank you.

I hate that too, I have my own system for saving and naming files
I work in psd >>save as layered
then save a tiff flattened at porint dimensions
then a save for web copy
since there is no other tiff saved in the folder I don't need the word copy
added to the file name
it is annoying
the only work around is to leave the layers box checked in the save dialog
and then in the next dialog box choose discard layers and save flattened

Save a Copy, please don't add the word "copy" after the filename

I save very often from Illustrator to PDF (through Save a Copy, any other idea?) but what nuisance me is that I always have to keep deleting the word "copy" that they add, trying to be helpful, at the end of the name. Sorry Illustrator for breaking the bad news, but in truth I don't need your help, there's no reason I should want to have all my PDFs with "copy" at the end of its name. Is there anything that I'm doing wrong here? If not, how can I get around this without having to manually delete the unneeded addition?

I am afraid that went by the OP they do not see that if they have already save the file as a ai file then saving it as a pdf is not going to replace the ai file or change it in any way.
Now if they are going to save it as they go along then they will be overwriting the file anyway and then they can then before closing save it as ai file before closing it out.
It seems like a complaint about noting at all to be honest, after all if they are saving as they go along in various versions of pdf then they have to change the name anyway so the word copy is meaning less at that point since they will be highlighting the name field anyway.
I use to use the copy thing on occasion but do not find any use for it.
This seems like a no issue issue

Mac keeps saving the proxy username and password. How to disable this feature, so that safari will ask for it everytime that I connect?

The title speaks for itself. It's the school computer and I don't want it to save every student's username and password.

You can't disable it. I assume that you want to know which student is using the network at any given time. You would need a more advanced server-side solution for that, such as a captive portal.

I get the pinwheel and the program freezes when trying to copy and paste in Word. Does anyone know how to fix this?

In Word I get the spinning pinwheel when I try to copy and paste. I can switch to other programs just fine but I can't perform the copy and paste and I need to perform a hard reboot to close Word. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Hi Ibo,
This is what just worked for me:
In Finder, I've dragged all Pages files from the iCloud Drive to the Documents folder on my iMac. (Finder asks your confirmation to remove the files from iCloud; confirm that)
Once they were on my local hard drive, the files could be opened again.
It looks to me as if something has changed in iCloud quite recently, leading to this mess. Not the first time, I've had this before. Now it's back. Sigh. And, as you wrote, it renders iCloud fairly useless. Back to Dropbox I suppose.

When I try to use the clone stamp another layer of my picture is copied on the photo I'm working on. Is this a defect or is there a tool I can use to stop it and return to normal usage of the clone stamp?

The "Sample Field" letters are very dim. After punching several times the right click revels "Clone stamp mode". The next little circle has a line through it and after several right clicks, it says: "turn on to ignore adjustment layers when cloning," Despite this I cannot get any kind of a response to change any of the existing entries.

Paypal URL redirects but adds in the word amp after the &. How to get Muse to redirect to the correct URL

Hi there. I have used the paypal email URL in my form submit buttons, but when testing them live, the URL changes and adds in the word amp after the &: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=KZUPJMDWGTUNY. It’s in my Adobe Muse form as this: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=KZUPJMDWGTUNY. How do I get Muse to redirect to the correct URL?

When I pasted the link in the first post it took out the &amp so I'll retype what Muse is doing ... it's changing he URL to ... https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=KZUPJMDWGTUNY which brings up an error page.

Suggestion for Spell Check - add the word 'Texting' to the dictionary! XP

Just an interesting thing encountered with spell check on this site - it doesn't have the word 'Texting' in the dictionary! XP

You can click on the button "learn" in the spell check dialog box.

Lost the word Download in the towbar at the bottom of the screen.

I somehow lost the word Download at the bottom of my screen.

Not sure if you mean the Downloads folder is no longer in the dock or if just the word "Downloads" is missing when you hover the mouse over that folder in the dock?
If the former, open a Finder window and then right-click (control-click) the Downloads folder in the sidebar and choose "Add to Dock."
If the later, does the appropriate word display if you hover the cursor over the other icons in the dock?

How do I delete duplicate songs, but keep a link in their original albums to the single copy of the song left, so it will play in each album in sequence as if it were still there?

Greetings!
After importing my 300 or so CDs into iTunes, I found I have tons of duplicate songs.
Example: I have a song that came in a original album, then in again in a "Greatest Hits" album, then again in a "Hits of the 80's" album, and again in a soundtrack album. I have now have 4 copies of the exact same song.
How do I delete duplicate songs, but keep a link in their original albums back to the single copy of the song left, so it will play in each album in sequence as if it were still there?
I don't think this currently exists, but as my library keeps growing the duplicates keep growing. It would be nice if Apple sees this and adds a way to link songs to multiple albums.
I don't want to create a custom playlist for every album that has a duplicate song or two (I'd have dozens of playlists) - thought about fixing it that way but not really practical.

To my knowledge, there is no way of doing what you want. The only workaround is to create playlists for the other albums containing the track, but that isn't practical for most people.
You could provide Apple with feedback here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html

Time Machine does show the history of my Macintosh HD, but when I try to navigate to the folder I wish to restore the backup history disappears. I've been searching for answers and I have not found one that works for me.

Moving a library: Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its sub-folders and files) intact to the other drive. Hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) and open iTunes. At the prompt to create or choose a library choose the copied iTunes folder.

Apparently you have two catalogs now, one from each installation. If you did importing, tagging and editing during the first installation, that will all be in the first catalog. Find the first catalog - it is a file with the suffix .lrcat and the default place for LR to put it is usually your Pictures folder - and (with LR closed) double-click on it. LR will launch with catalog #1 active.

When I download the digital copy of the Hunger Games, it stops at 4.0GB and first returns an error code -1309 and then the code -50. Please help me complete the download.

When I download the digital copy of the Hunger Games, it stops at 4.0GB and first returns an error code -1309 and then the code -50. Please help me complete the download. I have tried removing the .tmp folder and downloading it again, but each time it stops the download in the same place.

I discovered the solution. The external drive I was saving it to was formatted as FAT32. In that format, the largest files can only be 4GB, which explains why it kept stopping at 4GB. I backed up all the files then reformatted it as Mac OS Extended (Journaled), this is possible since I am on an iMac.

I used Duplicate Annihilator to isolate dups in iPhoto on my iMac. At the end it told me it had marked the word duplicate in the comments / description field. How do I find and delete the marked photos?

I used Duplicate Annihilator to isolate dups in iPhoto on my iMac. At the end of its search, it told me it had marked the word duplicate in the comments / description field. How do I find and delete the marked photos?

File -> New Smart Album
Description -> contains -> Duplicate
will find them.
Then the keystroke to delete depends on which version of iPhoto you have. All the keyboard shortcuts are under the Help menu.

Can't get the video to work on my ipad 7.0.2...camera works...has the word "video" on the camera screen but no open when I touch it.

Can't get my ipad to take videos...since it has the word "video" on the camera app I would have thought it would take videos. - I touch the spot. ...NO video! I guess this ipad doesn't have video capability. ??

Try sliding the words instead of tapping them.
