How can I rename multiple files without Automator?

Is there a way to rename a large number of files i.e. "file, file(2) file(3)" without using Automator? In Windows you can just right-click and rename any number of selected files.

Oh, I heartily agree. I bought it back at version 1.0, but not everyone around here is willing to spend money. The one I suggested that's freeware is a pretty good tool especially for casual sorts of needs. You may want to take a look at it. Not that it replaces ABFR.

  • How can I rename multiple files simultaneously

    I'm new to Macs and I'm looking for a way to rename multiple files simultaneously. These are photos from my SD card that I wish to give the same name but increment the name by 1 at the end of the filename.

    A Better Finder Rename is perfect for this.   I use it all the time to rename image files.
    There is also a companion app called A Better Finder Attributes that is also useful for image files.

  • How can I play multiple files without having to click "Menu," find the ...

    ...file, click "Play," etc.?
    Anyone? I have ATV2 and really like it so far. Any way to queue files?

    And... if you set up playlist in iTunes you can mix media as long as you use AirPlay.
    I have a Smart Playlist (Movie Night) that starts with a movie trailer (podcast), next up is a short cartoon (TV show), and then a double feature of movies I haven't seen yet.
    If I pick this play list from ATV2 then only the items from the primary menu item show up (i.e. Movies, TV, etc).
    However, if I watch ATV2 via iTunes AirPlay then everything flows along just like in the olden days!
    Too cool!

  • Renaming multiple files using automator.

    hello. i am renaming multiple files using automator. now when i import the images they are in sequential order like dscn001, dscn002 etc... i want to rename it to 001 my pic, 002 my pic, etc...
    i am choosing the sequential renaming option. after importing the pics to automator i see to it that i sort them by name so that the new names i provide are in the order of the actual file names ie. 001mypic = dscn001, 002mypic = dscn002, etc..
    however, it seems that inspite of sorting then my name they are being renamed randomly. what should i do. this is distrubing the cronological order of the pics.
    thanks in advance

    Well, whenever I rename in sequential order (presorted or otherwise), that is exactly what happens, so I am not sure what is causing your particular problem. If you look at the results of sorting before the rename, you should see that the items are renamed in that order - although the way that they are sorted after the rename may be different. You can easily see this sorting by just adding a prefix/suffix and looking at the differences in how the lists are sorted (sorting by name (numerically) may give you different results). Check out this Apple document to see if this is what is happening.

  • How can I convert multiple files at one time and not one at a time

    How can I convert multiple files at one time and not one at a time

    Hi Plissey1950,
    Sorry for the lengthy delay to a response.  Are you trying to convert multiple files to individual PDF files at the same time? (not combine them).  If so, you'll need to use Adobe Acrobat for this function. The CreatePDF service does not have the ability to convert multiple files to multiple individual PDF files.
    Thanks,
    David

    How can I create multiple accounts without the necessity to create multiple email addresses?  I now have 2 i-phones (mine and my wife's), 1 i-pad (mine), 1 i-pad mini (10 year old's), and 1 I-pod touch (11 year old's).  I would like to maintain purchase control, but would like to be able to have a separate account ID for each person.  Is that possible?

    Each email address can only be on one iTunes account, and all purchases are tied to the account that buys them. If you want to have separate iTunes accounts on each then you will need separate email accounts for each iTunes account

  • How can I upload multiple files or whole folder structures in one go to the Cloud?

    How can I upload multiple files or whole folder structures to the Cloud in one go? Uploading lots of files singularly does not help my workflow.
    All help is much appreciated.
    Paul.

    Hi,
    Uploading multiple files is browser specific.
    Internet explorer won't allow to select and upload multiple files on the cloud.
    If you want to upload multiple files then you have to login to Cretaive cloud using Firefox or Chrome web browser, then you can select multiple files in the Browse window to upload.
    You can't upload folders directly.
    Thanks,
    Baljeet

  • How can I allow multiple file selections ?

    I used FileReference's browse function,
    But it's only can select one file at the same time.
    How can I allow multiple file selections ?
    Thanks a lot.

    You need a FileReferenceList object instead. See the Help for
    FileReferenceList, it has good examples.

  • How can I download multiple apps without entering my Apple ID every single time?

    How can I download multiple songs or apps without entering my Apple ID every single time?

    It took me a moment to remember where this was!
    1. Open the iTunes app on your Mac and Sign out of your account (Store menu.)
    2. Without signing back in go to the iTunes App Store and buy a free app that you already have*.
    3. A dialog box will pop up for you to sign into your account. When signing in, be sure to tick the box that says Remember password.
    * You can choose any app that you wish, choosing one that you already have keeps you from buying any old app that you may not want.

  • How can I delete multiple files at a time from "Finder"

    I can't possible delete the thousands of junk files that showed up in Finder once I downloaded Maverick.  I can't delete more than one at a time now.  Why won't the highlighting stay in place on more than one file that I want to delete?

    How are you trying to select multiple files?
    What makes you think that "thousands of junk files [...] showed up in Finder once I downloaded Maverick" (or even installed it)?

  • How can I upload multiple files in a master detail relationship?

    I would like to be able to upload several files for one record (a one to many relationship). I tried using a master detail form, but the tabular form does not support file browse. I've searched the forum and found several examples asking how to upload multiple files at once. That is not what I'm trying to do. I simply want the user to browse, select a file, provide a file name and description. Then select the next file. When they are done selecting files (it may be one file or many files) I want them to hit the submit button and I'll run a procedure that saves the files to the database.
    How can I do this? Thanks, you guys are the best. Elizabeth

    Elizabeth,
    I had this situation come up once and here's what I did, thought it may not be exactly what you're looking for.
    I created a collection to store the ID's of the files that had been uploaded, along with the key and other information. The file browse input will upload your files into the wwv_flow_files table on submit. I was storing the documents in another application table.
    The after submit process grabs the id from wwv_flow_files where the name is = to your file input.
    After you add that ID and your associated master key in the collection, your final submit process fetches the files from wwv_flow_files and inserts them into your own table.
    I can put an example on apex.oracle.com if that would be helpful.
    Thanks,
    Jeff
