How can I change the name of the imported folder.

In FCPX, I create a library and create an event then I import media files (clips from an external hard drive) to the event. I choose to copy them to my Mac, not leave them in place. If I select a folder on the external hard drive, it does not matter what the name of that folder is, FCP changes it to a date (apparently the date the files were last modified). This is a crazy thing to do. How can I keep the folder name or how can I change it after I import. Thanks for anything you can say. Mitch

What version of FCP X? On Yosemite, you should be using at least 10.1.2, preferrably 10.1.4, the current version.
Since 10.1.2, you select a location for the files in a Library - this is done in the Inspector. In the picture, I set to a folder called "The folder I choose".
Then on import, you can decide to use the library location, or leave in place.
FCP X organizes the files inside the library location folder in a specific way, similar to how they are organized when media is stored in the library itself.
There is not much you can do about it, and you should not worry. But if you insist otherwise, the only way is to do the organizing yourself and use "leave in place" when importing.

I traded for a mac; how can I change the home folder name?

Well I traded a PC for my first iMac and well...... I love it.
1. I'm running into a little problem though; I can't seem to change the home folder name to my name. Although I know it doesn't affect any of the operation of the system or my settings, it psychologically upsets me.
2. Also, is there a way to assign my Apple ID to the computer or does that not matter either?
3. I also see a little lag when trying to connect to the web, but once I do get on it seems pretty beefy, any suggestable reasons?
4. And the final question, did I make the right decision? I traded a Sony Vaio S series tablet (laptop/PC) with an Intel core i5 @ 2.30ghz for an iMac with an Intel Duo Core processor @ 3.06ghz. I've heard the numbers don't really matter but some clarification would help.

Trying to address some of your questions:
You state you are running Mountain Lion? Was that the original OS on the Mac? That is very important because:
a) if it was, the seller/trader needed to transfer the Mountain Lion license to you or it will stay with his Apple ID;
b) if he purchased ML, he is required to uninstall it before selling the machine because the license is not transferable, which means - again - that it is tied to his Apple ID (along with the machine ID).
Both/either can present some problems for you since ML is now tied to someone else's Apple ID. If you manage to "introduce" your Apple ID, it will no longer match the records MAS (Mac App Store) has, so updates or other purchases may present problems.
I would suggest that you either call Apple or book an appointment at the nearest Genius Bar and ask them how to proceed - that way you may be able to set up your own Apple ID on the machine as well as get ML registered as yours (although, as explained above, they may require you to purchase it for yourself).
Whether or not you made the right decision - well, I've never owned a Windows machine, so I can't answer your question since I have nothing to compare it with. Obviously, I use Macs...... you should be able to run your own test: just do what you normally do and see if it appears to take about the same time, is faster, or is slower.

How can I change the import options for an Excel table in InDesign CS5.5?

Hi,
I have a problem with an InDesign script that works this way in ID CS4 and ID CS5, but stops working in ID CS5.5.
What the script should do, is to change the import preferences for a table saved in an Excel file so that I can place an unformatted table into a new textFrame in my InDesign document. The Excel document is an .xlsx-File.
function setExcelImportPrefs() {
with (app.excelImportPreferences) {
app.excelImportPreferences.tableFormatting = TableFormattingOptions.excelUnformattedTable;
What the script does (or at least seems to do) is: nothing. The table that is placed into the textFrame by the script is always formatted, as this seems to be the standard preference of InDesign CS5.5 for importing tables out of excel files.
Does anybody have a hint for me how to make the script work in ID CS5.5?

Okay, now it is working. I had to save the XLSX-file into the older XLS format, but that seems to work quite well.
But I won't ever understand why InDesign loses its backward compatibility from one version to the other.
Thank you, -hans-.

HT1848 My iTunes is transferring all of my purchases into my trash. How can I change the download folder back to the backup folder?

I just noticed that all of the purchases I just transferred have ended up in the trash. Tried it again after downloading a new app and it happened again. Does anyone have any idea how my Trash folder became the designated download/backup folder...and how can I change this?

In iTunes open Prefs > Advanced and see what it says for "iTunes Media folder location."

How can I change the root folder for .dtc?

After I installed the DS, I find the root folder for .dtc is my local directory such as:
C:\Documents and Configuration\WChen\.dtc
How can I change it to:
D:\Projects\.dtc

Gangadharayya. That points to the workspace used by Eclipse. The '.dtc' folder is used if you're working with DCs and, I'm pretty sure, has nothing to do with the Eclipse workspace.
Wei, just curious. Why do you want to change that path? Don't misunderstand my question. SAP has given me the "Why would you want to do THAT?" response plenty of times whenever I brought up a situation that was different than they way they thought developers would create apps or use their product(s).
So I'm not asking "why do you want to" because I think you're wrong in wanting to do that. I'm just curious.
I can't say for sure but I suspect that it might be not so easy to do that. I've installed Netweaver several times and I don't remember EVER being asked for a path for the '.dtc' folder structure.
From my personal experience, the whole NDS, J2EE engine, install process, etc. is so touchy that once I've got it installed I don't want to mess with it. So I was just curious if there was some technical reason or just personal preference for changing the folder.

How can we change the default folder icon

I-tunes puts my music on the D:my music, but i want it on my c:programfiles. How can i change the destanation folder??Thanks

Where can you choose the destanation folder for your music??
It automaticly puts it in MY MUSIC on the d: but i want it on de C:

The normal place to put the iTunes application is inside Program Files on your system drive, normally C:. The usual place for your iTunes library is inside your profile's music folder. You can put an iTunes library anywhere you like, but if you're not putting it in the standard location then I would recommend you move it to the root of your chosen drive, e.g. C:\iTunes.
If the library is consolidated, that is all media is inside the iTunes Media folder which, in turn, is inside the main iTunes library folder, then move the iTunes folder and all its contents to your new location, then hold down shift as you start iTunes, click Choose and browse to the new location.
If the library is not consolidated then consolidate before moving, or if that isn't practical due to the duplication that would occur, move the library folder & reconnect as above, then relocate the media using my ConsolidateByMoving script.
If you only want to redirect where new music goes (leaving the library where it is) then edit the location of the iTunes Media folder under Edit > Preferences > Advanced. You can also consolidate existing content to the new location after editing if you wish. (Not an approach I'd recommend BTW)

How can we change the default folder location (avoiding problems with Temporary Internet Files)

(Environment in question: Windows 7 secure desktop (running as user not admin), Office 2010)
Hello,
As has been touched on in various forums (such as here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/797451), when one opens a PDF attachment in Outlook, Acrobat and Reader store the file in the "Temporary Internet Files" folder (f/k/a OLK folder in previous versions of Outlook. There are two major problems with this:
First, as Microsoft has documented in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/817878, attachments end up here staying here under certain conditions (go checks your now, you'll find some!), which ends up being a file attachment no man's land, and that can present security risks (e.g. if data we thought was deleted still lives in that folder).
Secondly, the first time you open an attachment in Acrobat and do a Save As, Acrobat is defaulting to the Temporary Internet Files location. This folder (as noted in the thread linked above) is ridiculously hard to get to for the average user, so they can end up storing a file and then losing it.
We've found that if we open Acrobat once, do a save as, and change to the users Documents folder, the change sticks. But how can we have Acrobat default to Documents instead of that temporary location?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Have you check to see if Acrobat sets a registry entry or file preference for the first Save As? That's where I would start looking. Process Monitor is a good tool for this.

How can you change the import settings in iTunes 8?

The option in "Advanced Preferences" to say what format you want to import tracks no longer seems to be available in iTunes 8. Where is it?

I too have problems importing CDs. I get an error message that says, "Error occurred while converting the file, you do not have enough privileges". Being a very recent convert from PCs I am a relative novice I cannot find my way around this machine very well and do not know how to change the privileges. I have got as far as altering permissions in Get Info, and have done the Repair disk permissions in the Disk Utility, but to no avail. Can anyone help please, I have to rescue the situation before my wife throws the machine out the window and forces me back top the dark side!!
Thanks

How can I change the default folder to open within an application?

Before 10.10.3 applications would open the previously used folder when I opened a document from within an app such as Word. Now the default open folder is my Documents. The Finder Preferences window doesn't have the option to choose the previously used folder. How can I get back the ability to have the previously used folder be the default?

The app would store that information in your preferences. Do you notice that any other preferences do not stick if you change them?

In PSE 12, how can I change the default folder for scans?

By default, PSE uses the Windows preferred location for this user. I have a folder that is easier to access, simply D:\Scans, and I have to enter this manually, as well as removing the default to set up a folder with "today's date" every time I do a scan. I would like to modify these default settings. Surely those locations must be held in an installed file somewhere, and so if I can just edit that file I'd be very happy! All help appreciated.

I have no suggestion for registry editing or setting files editing, but depending on which version of Windows you have you don't have to stick with C:\Users. Right-click the relevant folder and change the location in the Location tab.
Cheers,
Neale

HT201361 Is it possible to save the screenshot files to a different folder than desktop. How can I change the folder?

Is it possible to save the screenshot files to a different folder than desktop (that is the default). How can I change the destination folder? Thank you, Sal

To change the screenshot capture location to a new place on your Mac, first think of a location that would serve you properly. We like to place ours in a "Screenshot" folder located inside of the User's "Pictures" folder. To change the location to this new location, open the Terminal and enter the following command:
defaults write com.apple.screencapture location /Users/[u]/Pictures/Screenshots/
Replace "[u]" with the name of the user on your system. Once you have entered this command, let's restart the screen capture utility by restarting the SystemUIServer by entering the following command:
killall SystemUIServer
You can optionally log out and back in instead of entering this second command, thus restarting the SystemUIServer. Once restarted, all screen captures taken from here on out will end up in your /Pictures/Screenshots/ folder in the User's home folder on your Mac.

How can I change the name of item in TableViewController iOS

How can I change the name of item in TableViewController? I want to be able to change the title of an item if I added one. Code:

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 default web form names?

I'm using the web forms in Business Catalyst, but our web site is in Norwegian, so I want the default FirstName and LastName values to be displayed in Norwegian in the error message when the field is not filled out.
At the moment the user will get an error saying "Skriv inn First Name". "Skriv inn" is correctly translated from English to Norwegian, but the value "First Name" has to be changed. The same applies for "Cell Phone Number".
Also, I don't really want two fields for the name, I want the form to have just one field that is called "Name" or "Navn" in Norwegian.
I have tried deleting the name fields and replacing them by custom fields, but then I get an error message when the form is sent saying "ERROR: An error occurred. Your web form must capture customer name and email address. Please fix this issue and re-insert your web form on your web page."
Also, why does some of the "-" before the error have a space, and some not? I want all the errors to be displayed with a space between the dash and the error.
The e-mail error is automatically translated into Norwegian for some reason, but it should be a dash in there, so it says "e-postadresse" and not "epostadresse".
Is there anywhere I can customize these error messages? Or at least change the values of the English fields to Norwegian so the error messages display the Norwegian field names, and not the English?

That is very helpful! Thank you!
But how can I change the dashes that are shown before the error? It really annoys me that they are shown inconsistently with different spaces like this:
- Error 1
-Error 2
- Error 3
-Error 4
And is there any way to change the automatic translation from English to Norwegian?
