Folder naming bug

Two days ago I upgraded to 10.9.2. Ever since then I've been unable to name any newly created folders or change the names of any existing ones. I am logged in as the administrator.

Does not work for me. Here's what happens; I select the folder. It has two modes: untitled folder" appears in black lettering on grey, or white lettering on deep blue. No editing cursor appears. There is no menu item for renaming from any of the pull down menu bars or in any popup menu.
I've also done a Get Info on the folder. Unlocked the padlock and still there is no editing of the name possible.
I have read and write permission.
There's one exception to all this. I can create a brand new folder and name it to whatever I want. But once I deselect that folder it becomes like all the others, uneditable.
Very strange and very concerning.

Importing .ISO files into SCVMM2012 R2 - Folder Naming Quirk

We've run into a folder naming issue in regards to importing .ISO's into the VMM Library. When specifying a folder to import the .ISO into, VMM adds %20 to the folder names where spaces are. Not a huge deal but wonder if anyone has a way around this without
using dashes or underscores.

My download are going to a different folder. They usually went to a folder named 'Downloads' and now they go to a folder named 'Temp', Why is this?

Usually when i download something it goes to a folder named 'Download', however, now they go to a folder named 'Temp'.

Get info on the drive. What format? FAT drives may be behave erratically for heavy-duty use of the kind you are doing. It's okay to leave a flash drive FAT formatted for light use but for heavy-duty file transfer I think you can encounter issues.
iTunes does not look at files directly. It maintains a database (library.itl) of the files in its collection. When you play a track it looks up where that file is located and goes and plays the file in that location. If you manually move a file or folder used by iTunes that database is no longer correct and you get broken links ( ! ). If you want to move files or folders with iTunes you have to let iTunes do it. Since iTunes is organizing your library there isn't much flexibility in what you can do other than move the whole collection to a different folder by changing the media location preference in preferences.

Error while creating folder named "bin" using explorer view in sharepoint 2010

I am getting error when I create a folder in a library named "bin" using explorer view in sharepoint 2010.
When I create folders with other names I don't get any errors.
Please suggest.

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you got an
error when you create a folder named “bin” in a SharePoint library with explorer view.
There are any Microsoft.NET Framework assemblies that have controls or parts that the SharePoint site uses, which are stored in the bin folder. You can remove “bin” from hidden segments, then you can create a folder named “bin”
in the SharePoint library with explorer view.
1.Opened IIS Manager and selected Server name -> Request Filtering -> Hidden Segments tab -> Removed "bin" from there:
2.Perform IISRESET:

Folder Renaming Bug

Hello,
We have two (2 x 3 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon) machines running 10.4.9, networked with a server running Microsoft Windows Server 2003 5.2.3709 Service Pack 1 Build 3790. The Macs are set up as Admin, Managed Mobile user accounts. All work is stored on network file shares.
One of our machines displays strange behaviour when folders are created or moved, from the mac across the network, on any of the fileshares. These issues are-
1. When a new folder is created on any of the fileshares, from the mac, a duplicate folder automatically appears in the same directory of the fileshare. This file is only visible from the mac.
2. When a folder is moved from any directory of the fileshare to any other directory, the folder name changes to duplicate a folder name already within the new directory. File names within the moved folder and its duplicate are also affected.
We are extreamly busy at the moment and to reduce the risk of downtime I have been reluctant to run the 10.4.10 update.
Can anyone help?

certain characters cannot be used for folder or file naming on a mac. it gets confused and the usual pattern of behaviour is it then duplicates a folder or file name by the immediate one around it. the usual suspect that I can think of in folder or file names being cross platformed and that are carried over on networks might be something as simple as the folder name being a date. eg; 9/8/2007. the forward slash / is an illegal character for file or folder naming on a mac because it's system files depend on that character. try renaming folders and files without using chararcters and see if that fixes the problem.

Folder named "ABBYY FineReader 5 Sprint" in Applications....

Hello everyone,
When I open my Applications folder in Finder, there is a folder named "ABBYY FineReader 5 Sprint" among all of the applications. When I open this folder, there is nothing at all in it, however at the bottom of its window, it says there are 5 items and 129.9 GB available. Does anyone know the purpose of this folder, and should it be there at all? Is it safe to delete it?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
joe

Thanks for marking it as solved joe. Lexmark doesn't have a great reputation for supporting OS X, they do to a certain extent but they don't cover all of their printers for Macs. If you scan the printer section of the various discussion forums, Lexmark come up a bit too often as something people have problems with.
I favour Epson and Canon printers and scanners. They have long worked well with the drivers that come wit the Mac and who wants to fluff around with installing drivers. Today it is reasonable to expect to plug something in and have it print.
Have a look at some of the models here:
Some All in One printers
and choosing a few, do search on Google to find reviews of the model, just to get some feedback on other's experiences of using them, which can be informative.

When I updated to Lion, a folder named RamdiskFixer appeared in my Applications folder. What do the applications contained in this folder do?

When I updated to Lion, a folder named RamdiskFixer appeared in my Applications folder. What do the applications contained in this folder do?

Thanks. I am sure you are correct, although I don't recall installing it and I only discovered it after the update to Lion. That is why I thought there was some connection. Anyway, I have deleted the folder and its applications. Thanks again for setting me straight.

ITunes creating duplicate files under a hidden folder named "Volumes".

It seems my iTunes program is secretly making a duplicate file in a hidden folder called "Volumes" on my laptop hard drive. It's now maxxed out my drive and I need to both remove the "Volumes" folder and make sure it doesn't get created and happen again.
Details:
Using a Powerbook G4 with an 80gb drive. Using iTunes 8. The iTunes library program is in the usual place on the lap top hard drive but the music library folder, where all the files get saved to, is on an external drive labeled "Media".
Clicking normally and searching around my laptop hard drive, I do not see or am able to access the folder named "Volumes". But I know it exists as I ran a scan program called jdiscreport and it clearly shows a huge folder, 45gb, named "Volumes". There are also a few old flacs in the "Volume folder also. The iTunes duplicate files are in identically named folders as the external drive: iTunes Music located within Media, located within Volumes.
When I rip a CD in iTunes (or the iTunes-LAME program I sometimes use), the files do go to the proper external folder as expected and as I've set in the iTunes preferences section. So why is iTunes also saving the same thing to this mystery "Volumes" folder on the lap top hard drive? How do I get rid of this folder without wiping my drive? How do I stop it from continuing?
Help, I have 2gb of free space left!
Thanks, James

Hi I am having a similar issue, It all started when I tried to restore from the Time Machine and it threw a error back stating that there is no disk available. I was wondering how come and went to find out what is happening and was shocked to find out that actually my entire Macintosh HD has a duplicate copy inside the /Volumes folder. I went to the XTERM to investigate and found that the / (root) has a Users folder where all my stuffs like pictures, music, movies, documents reside and the same data or content is duplicated in the /Volumes/Macintosh HD/Users folder
I first thought that it was only a link, but I later found that it is not a link and it is indeed a physical copy of all my User folders inside the /Volumes/Macintosh HD/Users folder and actually occupying my Hard disk space.
I am not sure how this happened or how it is duplicating itself. I am also afraid to delete the stuffs inside the /Volumes folder as it might crash my system (it is already hidden - I assume it is hidden for some purpose). Please suggest any options, how I can get rid of these duplicated data and how to avoid such duplication in the future.
Thanks

PS Import folder naming standards (whine)

Okay, this is a rant but...
Why doesn't Adobe adopt an import folder naming standards to be consistent across their programs?! I am picking on PSE since I have noticed their naming convention changes/options.
From PSE4 to 6 to 7, they changed a couple of options - to include the manner of which a date named folder is displayed.
LR2 uses "dashes" in the dates where PSE does not - why?
The dashes/no dashes mess with alphabetical folder sequencing...
Can't we just have a standard for this? Please?...whine complete...

CSDT creating folder named with ID as name

Hi,
We have a problem with the CSDT plugin, when we use the plugin to create a new template from within Eclipse.
For som reason, when creating a template from within Eclipse, the path to the Template is created like this ("injecting" a folder named with the ID of the element).
/opt/fatwireCS/export/envision/cs_workspace/368618232028/src/jsp/cs_deployed/admin/services/something.jsp
The actual path to the element should be:
/opt/fatwireCS/export/envision/cs_workspace/src/jsp/cs_deployed/admin/services/something.jsp
We currently fix this, by manually copying the file and the folders into the OWS folders-structure, and then sync with Contentserver. We can sync just fine with contentserver, and we use the plugin as the development tool for OWS, but we do have this funny behaviour with the folder named with the asset-ID.
Anyone who knows a reason and/or solution?

Hi Jakob,
It's suspected that this issue is related to symbolic links. Are you using any symbolic links to access the workspace? If so, try not using symbolic links and see if the problem goes away.
Do let us know if it helps, please.
Kind regards,
Stephan.

'AVCHD content' package instead of a 'Folder' named PRIVATE in Mountain Lion

'AVCHD content' package instead of a 'Folder' named PRIVATE in Mountain Lion prevents FCPX from recognising it as a Camera Archive thus can't import media.
Does anybody know how to work around this issue?
I know how to look inside the package, but seeing the contents does not help importing it into FCP X.

Karsten, I believe you are doing exactly the same steps, but see some kind of different names on the buttons. When I press Cmd+I, I get into the Camera Import dialog. I have to then press Open Archive... to import from a folder, that has a copy of SD card.
That is why I am calling it a Camera Archive.
Then I select the Card1 or Card2 folders that contain a copy. This is a great screen:
Card1 was copied while Mac OS was still 10.7, Card2 - after an upgrade to 10.8.1. Card1 imported into FCP X 10.0.5 flawlwssly, while Card2 gives me an error a screenshot of which is higher in the thread.
As for Tom's request - I did exactly that. Except for Card1 will not show it's contents in the column view - I have to Ctrl+Click and select Show Package Contents to get inside.
Hopefully this clarifies the situation a bit more. I'm stuck with the project at the moment

Nokia N8 - Unable to find any folder named "Receiv...

I have been an ardent fan of this cell phone.
But slowly this is eroding my romance for this cellphone.....
Well I transferred 2 videos via bluetooth to this and I was unable to move those files from the inbox to E drive ..... No such options are available - I searched for "received files/folder" in file management but was unable to find any folder named "Received files" in either C or E drives.
Not sure if I am missing out something here. But seems like this is very poor programming from an OS perspective that such basic options are not provided.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Well under E: the folders that were present are
cities, games, images, installed files, music store files, nokia_ovi_suite_instalxxxxx, other, playlists, sound files, video clips, 355944040xxxxxxx.ndif, autorun.inf, install nokia ovi suite xxxxxx.exe, nfsshift_1_0_5XXXXX.sis, qf
I am from India and brought this phone from a noia vendor. Not sure if they provide some thing else when you buy through a Telco service provider.
Anyway, after long desperation, I thought I will give a try on experimenting a bit on this. So I created a folder named "Received Files" under E: drive and Lo and behold.......a similar folder automatically got created under C:
And now when I transfer files via Bluetooth I receive them in E:/Received Files and even if I delete the file from Inbox it is still there in E:/Received Files.
