Finder is unable to locate photos by Title, only by file name

I was able to locate all my pictures by simply typing words from the title (in fact I did that yesterday morning), but now Finder is unable to locate those files unless I search for the file name (For example: DSC005873.jpg). Why did it stop working? Any assistance will be greatly appreciated as it's a pain in the butt when you've got over 2000 photos.

Hello oo:
Welcome to Apple discussions.
It would be a complete guess to postulate what happened.
I think I would do a couple of things:
Run permission repair
Run repair disk from your software install DVD.

The Finder can't complete the operation because some data in "FILE NAME" can't be read or writen. (Error code -36)

I have a RAID that my Mac says is damaged. It does mount, so I want to copy as much of the data as I can. I tried SuperDuper!, but it crashed (or gave me error and stopped). I tried copying and pasting entire drive (1.75TB) but it stopped with this error, and same error happens with some of the files when I try to copy and paste (Drag and Drop) them individually.
I get this error: The Finder can't complete the operation because some data in "FILE NAME" can't be read or writen. (Error code -36)

Well, in pure Apple File System talk... -36 ioErr I/O error (bummers)
Not very helpful, but generally means a Drive quit being Readable or Writable since starting the operation...

If Disk Utility or fsck should fail to repair it, your best bet is DiskWarrior from Alsoft, you'll need the CD to boot from if you don't have another boot drive...

Might try the free trial of my favorite, Tri-Backup, it does a better copy/clone job in that it usually doesn't quit copying at every error, & has a nice log afterwards to try certain files agin if you wish....

How to display File Title instead of File Name in Search Results

Hello All,
I want to display the File Title instead of File name in the search results. For example when i do the search for the HTML Pages i get the File Names i.e. Index.html However i want 'HTML Page Title' to be displayed instead of File Name.
Please help in this.
Full points guaranteed...
Vaib

Hi Vaib,
first, the search result is displayed with some layout set. The standard layout set used is the SearchResultLayoutSet. This uses the StandardSearchResultRenderer as it's collection renderer. And this in fact renders the display name and not the ID: <i>rnd:displayname(contentLink/[1;2-3]/alignTop/space-right=30)</i> within "Displayed Properties". Maybe on your site the default settings have been changed.
For how to use a different layout set etc see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/2a/4ff640365d8566e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm for details.
Hope it helps

When importing photos with iBooks Gallery widget, is anyone aware of a technique for simultaneously importing the photo's description (or jpeg file name) and writing it into the iBook Author caption field for the imported photo?

When importing photos with the iBooks Author Gallery widget, is anyone aware of a technique for simultaneously importing the photo's description (or jpeg file name) and writing it into the iBook Author caption field for the corresponding imported photo? I have 4,800 stills to import and can't imagine it's necessary to copy and paste the description for each.

As always, feel free to use the 'Provide iBooks Author Feedback' menu item for features you'd like added in the future, etc.

How do you rearrange photos in a folder by file name?

How do you rearrange photos in a folder by file name on an ipad?

I don't believe it's possible under the standard "Photos" app (built-in) in iOS.
However, there appear to be many downloadable apps that will allow you to do this. Search the App Store for something like "photo sort".
You may also want to leave Apple your feedback in regards to this at:

Topic title overwritten with file name when importing html-file

I have a problem in RH8. When I import a html-file that has a topic title that is different to the file name, RH somehow overwrites the topic title with the file name. The html-files that I need to import into my help project DO have a topic title (with the html tag 'Title') so this is not caused by an empty og non-existing title tag.
I have searched the forum and found that this was also an issue in RoboHelp 6 and by then fixed in a service pack. I have long ago installed the two service packs to RH8, but I can see in the 'read me' for the service packs, that this has not been dealed with.
I also have RH 7 installed on my pc, and the problem does not occur in a RH 7 help project.
Best Regards

Yes, I am sure I am not mixing up Topic Title and Topic Heading.
The files are generated in a Access database created by our own developers. We have used this database for generating html-files for our RH-projects for years without any problems.
Below I have copied the HTML code from one of theese files (with the file name '10001.htm') before importing it into RH8:
<!doctype HTML public "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Frameset//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>
Agreement
</title>
<LINK rel='StyleSheet' href='default.css'>

</html>
And after importing it to RH8:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

Unable to locate photos since iLife 08 updgrade

Greetings. Ever since upgrading to iLife '08 a couple of weeks ago, I have been unable to locate my pictures in the "Pictures" folder. Now there are no folders that are accessible (grayed out or missing). Did this have something to do with moving my pics, within iPhoto, into the events? I frequently attach pic files to outgoing emails as attachments...now I can't find them. In advance, thanks!

There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
1. Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. Show File: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
To upload to MySpace or any site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you're using Gmail you can use THIS
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves. If you're willing to risk database corruption, you can restore the older functionality simply by right clicking on the iPhoto Library and choosing 'Show Package Contents'. Then simply make an alias to the folders you require and put that alias on the desktop or where ever you want it. Be aware though, that this is a hack and not supported by Apple.

How to make Title same as File name using Batch?

I will be having hundreds of PDFs each month that will need info in the Tile field in Document properties. We create our PDFs from Quark using Distiller. I have found an option in the Batch process in Acrobat for editing the Document properties. Is there something I can enter in the title field that would instruct it to pull the file name as the title? I compare this to using &File in Word when instructing it to include the file name in the header area. Anyone know of any way to do this? I have seen multiple posts to the Acrobat forum regarding similar issues, but none with any responses as to how to accomplish this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

For this behaviour you're looking at a javascript ...
For dumb population then use Batch Processing inside Acrobat ..

Unable to generate csr, Please use a valid file name

I've been attempting to generate a new certificate signing request on our Exchange 2013 server. In the past we've never had a problem but we seem to be stuck today. When we try to output the new csr to one of our network shares we see the following
error.
"Please use a valid file name when you run the New-ExchangeCertificate cmdlet on server server1 with the -RequestFile parameter. The file should not exist in target folder. Parameter name: RequestFile"
We've use this share location before without problems, the Exchange Trusted Subsystem has write intermissions on this location as described online but we still receive the error. I've tried creating new locations but haven't had any success.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Hi,
We can access the Exchange Certificate Management UI through the EAC in Exchange 2013 by selecting
Servers and then Certificates to create a new certificate to have a try.
Alternatively, we can try the following command:
$Data = New-ExchangeCertificate -GenerateRequest -SubjectName "c=US, o=contoso inc, cn=server.contoso.com" -DomainName mail.contoso.com, contoso.com, autodiscover.contoso.com -PrivateKeyExportable $true
Set-Content -path "C:\Certificates\MyCertRequest.req" -Value $Data

Unable to locate photos

I just imported photos from my iPhone into iPhoto ('11, v.9.2.2). I had over 2,000 photos in iPhoto. I exited out of iPhoto for a few minutes but then opened it back up. However, when I opened it again all my recent photos were gone and the only photos that are showing are the ones i imported from iphoto when I bought my MBP last year. I've had this happen before but could always easily find my new version again, however, this time I cannot seem to find my new photos---everytime I opened iPhoto it only shows those very old photos (no photos are there for the last year) and when I search "photo" in finder, only those old ones show up.
Please advise on how to relocate my newer photos, I'm not sure if it's just a matter of finding a different version of iPhoto or a different library, but I cannot seem to figure that out.
Thanks.

what shows in last import?

1.1.4 - Photo Albums title overshadows first album name?

Hmm. Is this just me?
After the update, when I click Photos, it shows the list of albums, starting with the overall "Photo Library" item, as usual, followed by my own folders.
But the Title "Photo Albums", now is laid on top of that first item. In fact, it stays on top as you scroll. ("Movies" does similiar on Videos, which I hadn't noticed either.)
Not a biggie, but I swear it didn't cover up the first item before. (?)
Edit: hmm. maybe it's just because previous to the update, my list was partially scrolled downward. Again, not a biggie and maybe just my overimagination!

This has always been the case. The update has not changed this.

After Defrag, unable to locate some songs, iTunes only - iPod intact

I removed 40G of junk from my drive to get needed headroom; then I defragmented the drive. YES, Files MOVED! Upon connection of my iPod Photo, I received a notice stating missing location of files with a list of 100 items which I browsed and continued.
The update was uneventful (new music). The iPod STILL contained the "missing" songs and the was on the iTunes library affected files. The second time I accessed iTunes, there were NO files.
When I added more music and connected the iPod, The 100 were again referenced. I copied all 100 down and located the physical CD's and reloaded them with the "option" of not reloading the not missing items (some full, some partially missing).
Upon connection of the iPod, another 100 tem list (must be maximum) - new items AND repeats.
I have over 4000 songs in this 60G. If I wipe the iPod clean and the iTunes Library, I'm sure that starting from scratch will work; BUT..... I'm hoping for a better option.

Okay, I think I've solved this.
Problem: Intermittent, but consistent of songs NOT playing. Attempted to play via Songs, Albums, Artists & Playlists. When the problem occurred - the playtime of effected song would permanently stay "0:00" - move to the next song. The fault had reproducebility of 5 in 6 songs not playing.
Solution. I think the problem was a corrupted playlist. This is what I did - BEFORE - solving the problem.
Restored my iPod back to factory settings.
Setup iPod as a NEW iPod.
Re-Sync copying across PlayLists from iTunes.
This did NOT resolve the fault (Tried this 3 times)
i) So, restored iPod back to factory settings and setup asa NEW iPod.
ii) NO syncronisation was performed between iTunes and iPod. (The iPod had NO music, no playlists - NOTHING)
iii) Deleted ALL playlists from iTunes. Except the Party Shuffle - which you can't delete anyway.
iv) Created a NEW playlist in iTunes.
v) Copied a range from music to the PlayList (Started off small number. 1, 5, 10, etc)
vi) In iTunes - specified that the only thing to be syncronsied was the PlayList that was newly created
vii) In iTunes - Sync to iPod.
The first time I did this - it only sync-ed 1 song. I made sure, that the first song that sync-ed was a song that couldn't play.
Guess what ? It worked!
I continued selecting ranges - and syncing. I made sure that all songs were ok - as I played the first couple of seconds of each song - every time I synced. I have 77 in total. Not much, I know
Not suggesting that you sync 10 of your songs out of 50k then re-check, then sync again etc etc.
What I mean - is try it for a small number. If it works for the first 10 of your syncs then it should work for the others.
Wonder if the playlists are stored as XML on the iPod touch. If so, wonder if it was a case of the XML not being sync-ing to it's DTD .
I dunno. At least my iPod touch is working now. Hope this helps somebody.
