How can I rename Folders/events

Hello,
I finally decided to import my old MiniDV library into iMovie (about 20 tapes). I used the "automatic" setting to import entire tapes and just named them "Tape 1", "Tape 2", etc. figuring (perhaps naively) that I'll just rename each individual event within all those tapes at a later time. Now I can't figure out quite how to do it (I'm using iMovie '09).
I sure hope there's a way to do this... otherwise, all I have are events like: "Tape 15, Day 14".
Any help much appreciated!

This can be done easily, but you must do it from within iMovie. You should see your events in the Event Library List. Click on the name and you should get a blue edit box.
I usually give mine a descriptive name and a reference to the tape, like Labor Day 2003 - DV 023.
You don't have to append a date, because if your metadata is intact, iMovie will sort it into the proper date for you.

  • How can I rename events?

    When I split events, in the "old" iPhoto, I could rename the events as soon as I split them (all in the same screen). Now I have to go back to the main Events screen in order to do it, and that means I have to go hunt for the two events (cause they don't end up anywhere near each other). I have a rather large library of photos, and it was SOOOO much easier to rename the new events when they were all in the same screen after splitting them.
    Also, the "Split" icon used to be in the bottom and now there is no icon, you have to go to the top under Events and click "Split Event" or "Create Event". Then see the problem above - you can't rename the events in that window.
    It is MUCH slower than previous versions of iPhoto when I try to do anything. Of course, it does look like they FINALLY fixed Faces........
    The changes are NOT impressing me!

    Be sure to tell Apple about this via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html. We need to get everyone reporting these "oversights" (being somewhat gracious here) so they'll know that it is a serious issue.

  • How can i delete an event on my iphone 4s from my gmail account?

    how can i delete an event on my iphone 4s from my gmail account?

    there is a way to do it. you didnt say if the two librarys were on two different computers i am supposing this is the case. In itunes on both computers go to itunes preferences there you will see where the music is stored not this location for the future.
    Check is the copy files to itunes media folder is checked.
    Go find that folder and see if all your music is in there if so then you can copy the folder or move it to an external hard drive.
    Then go to he computer that you want all the music on and simply copy all the music files in there. Try one folder at a time so copy in say the Bob Dylan folder and see if it all works in itunes.
    Obviously itunes needs to be closed when you are copying the folders over. If it doesnt immediately show up on the itunes simply choose file add to library and just go back to the folder and choose the one you want to add.
    You may end up with a few duplicates if so choose show duplicates and choose which ones to delete. You may also get some files with the itunes numbering in the title you can right click and on a mac choose get info and change the name or rename in windows. I did this its a bit of stuffing around.
    I would say in hindsight, one folder for all your music, let itunes copy it all over and keep adding to the original folder and back it up. If disaster ever strikes all you do is set up your new computer with fresh itunes and point itunes at your music folder and it will copy them all over again.

  • Can`t rename folders or files in nfs windows 2012R2

    I can not rename
    folders or files that are in a nfs
    unit. When I try to rename I get the
    error "Invalid device", this only
    happens in windows 2012r2 or
    2012 in windows 2008r2 works with
    the same nfs unit.
    In
    the event viewer no errors.
    you know it
    is happening?

    Hi,
    Based on my research, the issue is a bug in Windows Server 2012 and 2012 R2. It needs some time to figure out the proper fixes, so please wait for a future patch. If there is a solution or workaround, I will post it in this thread. 
    Thank you for your understanding and support.
    Best Regards,

  • How can I move an event in my calendar to my "completed" calendar without changing all the events in the series?

    How can I move an event in my calendar to my "completed" calendar without changing all the events in the series?
    As Apple has yet to upgrade iCalendar so I can check off my events as I complete them (no, I do not want to use a task list/reminder list), I want to be able to move my events to my "completed" events calendar as I complete them. The issue is that most of my events are repeating events, and it changes the entire series. How do I change only the event I clicked on using my iPhone?
    Thanks

    If you change anything in a repeating calendar entry it will give you the option of disconnecting it from the series. So may any random change, choose to not change the series.

  • HOW CAN I DELETE AN EVENT WITHOUT  HAVING TO SELECTING IT FROM THE LIBRARY?

    I have a big problem.
    I want to delete an entire event from my library because everytime I select it imovie freezes and then close itself up. So I have to re-open imovie again. And when I want to select that particular event again the same problem occures. So I can not select that particular event. Therefore I can take NO action on this event.
    HOW CAN I DELETE AN EVENT WITHOUT HAVING TO SELECTING IT FROM THE LIBRARY?
    (Everytime I select it imovie closes itself up)
    All other events work fine. I believe The footage had a problem from capturing. but now it's in my computer and i can't open it.
    Please help me, I don't need this event, I can't open it therefore I can't use it and it takes place on my hardrive for nothing.
    Thank you

    One can delete it from one's computer. In the finder go to homeuser, movies, imovie events, delete the footage.
    Then reopen iMovie and see if that helps.

    If you happen to have Apple computer(s), and you are synching your iPhone calendar to your computer's calendar, you can set up an "every 3 month" period on your computer.  Simply use the calendar app on your Apple computer, access the event, access "Repeat", choose "custom", then "Monthly", then set up the interval you want.  It will sync with and properly be represented on your iPhone.
