You can't do it on the iPod but there may be apps that allow you to add names. I know there are apps that allow you to add captions.

How do I rename photos within events?

I know how to give an event a title but I'm looking for an easy way to rename all the photos within the event so that they, too, have a title corresponding to the event title but each with it's own number added to the end. This helps me for when I create a New Album and drag a copy of an individual photo into the album to identify which event the original photo came from. For example:
Event Title: 2013.03.01 Drew's 11th Bday
Photo Title for each photo within the event to say: 2013.03.01 Drew's 11th Bday (1); 2013.03.01 Drew's 11th Bday (2) and so on...
As it is now, each photo just has the image number given to it by the program, so that when I drag a copy into a New Album all I see is the image number with no details to help me.
Can anyone offer suggestions?

The only way to rename the actual file is to export the photo out of the iPhoto Library via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option with the option File Name ➙ Use Title.

How do I rename photos after import?

I tried the filenaming template and direct input into metadata. Lightroom displays a message that the file name cannot be renamed_but no explanation is given. What am I missing?

Perhaps (this is a guess) Lightroom does not have write permission for the folder where these photos are located.

How do I rename many photos all at one time with one click?

I have got many photos of a sery and want to rename it all with one click only (instead of clicking through it all in single actions and wasting time).

How do I rename a photo in the iphoto folder?

OK, so I know that you can change the name of a photo while in iphoto by simply pressing the "i" button at the bottom left, but that doesn't change the actual name of the file.
And I know that I can do that by going to Share-Export-Use Title and then put it in the same file that the original picture is in.
My question is....if you do that, then you have two of the same pictures in the same folder (one with the name you gave it and one with a name the computer gave it...some IMG_0812.JPG name), so after I've done this, can I delete the original picture with the numbered name so that I only have the picture with the name I gave it to reduce clutter?
Anyone? Anyone? I ask this question because I'm an organized freak and hate when I need to go and attach a photo I need to know when I took the photo (the month and date) and then all I see are numbers for the names.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
How do I rename a photo in the iphoto folder?
You don't.
And I know that I can do that by going to Share-Export-Use Title and then put it in the same file that the original picture is in.
That depends on how you "put" the renamed export into the "same file." You can Import it into your iPhoto library. If you use the Finder or a Save dialog to save directly into the iPhoto Library folder then this photo will not be recognized by the database.
...can I delete the original picture with the numbered name so that I only have the picture with the name I gave it to reduce clutter?
If you imported the renamed Export properly, and now see both versions of the photo in the library (within the iPhoto application), then yes, you can place the first version in the iPhoto Trash, then Empty iPhoto Trash. Absolutely do not do any of this from within the Finder.
I'm an organized freak and hate when I need to go and attach a photo I need to know when I took the photo (the month and date) and then all I see are numbers for the names.
Don't root around inside the iPhoto Library folder to find your photos for attachments or uploading.
Why: iPhoto is a database application, not a file browser. You aren't supposed to go inside the iPhoto Library folder at all. See this from the iPhoto Help, under "About using the iPhoto Library":
"IMPORTANT: There is also an "iPhoto Library" folder located in the Pictures folder in your home folder, outside the iPhoto application. If you move, delete, rename, or otherwise touch files or folders within this folder, you may be unable to see your pictures in the iPhoto application.
"The files within this folder should only be manipulated by a customer care representative."
To access your photos, use iPhoto. They are perfectly organized and easy to find, with all of iPhoto's tools at your service. No need to remember the date you took the picture. When you need to upload or attach your photos, select them in iPhoto and do a Share > Export to a Desktop folder. Attach or upload from that folder, then trash it when you are finished.
If you absolutely want to rename your photos it's best to do this before importing into iPhoto. You can use Image Capture (look in your Applications folder) to upload from your camera to a Desktop folder. Use the Finder to preview and rename the files to your liking. Name the folder the way you want the Film Roll to be named in iPhoto. Import the folder into iPhoto, and then delete the one on your Desktop.
But do learn to keep out of the iPhoto Library folder when you are in the Finder. Tampering inside that folder causes much of the damage that I see people coming here to try to repair. Once your photos are inside the iPhoto library, it's best to use iPhoto to do what you want with them.

How do I rename one wrongly identified photo in Faces? I seem to only be able to merge two stacks of photos to the correct name, but that is not accurate. I only have one photo in a batch under a certain name, that is wrongly identified.

In iPhoto '11: Select the photo in the "Faces" stack, open the "Info" panel, click on the face name in the "faces" brick and then on the name below the face to edit the name.

How to rename Photos and Videos ???????

Could somebody please tell me how to rename Photos and Videos on Iphone5 ?
If you cannot, what is the logical explanation behind it ?
Would of thought this is something basic....

Since photos and videos should always be synced to a computer for storage, rename them there. I'm assuming you're trying to find a way to rename in the Photo app, right? Don't trust your phone or even icloud to safely store your photos. Think of the iphone as a digital camera. Most digital cameras don't let you rename a photo.

How do I transfer photos from aperture and iPhoto to bridge?

How do I transfer photos from Aperture and iPhoto to Adobe Bridge. I am using Photoshop CS6. Many of my original photos were stored as raw files.

Here's how to access Mac iPhoto images for use in Photoshop
and so that they may be viewed by choosing that folder in Bridge..
1. In the Finder, navigate to Users > [user name} > Pictures > iPhoto Library.
2. Control-click (Right-click) the iPhoto Library file and choose Show Package Contents.
3. A Finder window opens that shows the contents. The Masters folder (or called Originals folder) contains all of the photographs that are in iPhoto.
Photoshop cannot access this folder, but if you make a duplicate of the folder, the dupe will be accessible -- so:
4. Control-click (Right-click) the folder named Masters (or Originals) and choose Duplicate.
5, Drag the duplicate folder which is named "Masters copy" or “Originals copy” from the iPhoto Library Finder window to the Desktop.
6. Open images in Photoshop from file on desktop or view them in Bridge.
7 Rename the folder and move it elsewhere (probably to the Pictures folder), if desired.
And here is a Forum thread related to Aperture-to-Bridge

How can I sort photos within an event? When I follow the Help instructions, I can sort manually in Photo format, but when I return to Event format, the original order is restored.

How can I sort photos within an event? When I follow the Help instructions, I can sort manually in Photo format, but when I return to Event format, the original order is restored.

Events are organisation for those who can't really be bothered. They are automatic - based entirely on Date and Time the camera records the photos as taken.
You can move photos between Events, you can Merge Events, you can Rename them and sort them in various ways except one: You cannot manually sort in an Event as Events are all automated.
If you want to manually sort in an Event then you've outgrown Events as an organising tool. Now it's time to look at albums (Where you can manually sort) which are much more flexible than Events as an organising tool.

How can I save photos that I have modified in Photoshop Elements to my computer hard drive?

When finished editing click File->Save/Save As and you can either overwrite the original file or rename it and save as new file keeping original intact.
You can find more info on saving and various settings here http://help.adobe.com/en_US/photoshopelements/using/WS287f927bd30d4b1f89cffc612e28adab65-7 fda.html#WS287f927bd30d4b1f89cffc612e28adab65-7fd7

Is it possible to rename photo in the "camera roll" OR reset the photo number in iphone 4s? (Clearly explained the situation)

Hi everyone, nice to meet you all. This is my first discussion starting in here and nice to meet you all. I used Android device before and this is my first apple mobile that I owned. I am using iphone 4s. (5.0.1)
I have search a lot but no answer that how can I rename the photo in the camera roll in iphone or in Windows 7.
What I want to do is:
I have IMG_0006, IMG_0007, IMG_0015, IMG_0016, IMG_0017, total 5 files.
I want to change the name that make their sequence will become IMG_0001, IMG_0002, IMG_0003, IMG_0004, IMG_0005 and I want the following picture will take place in IMG_0006. (This is just what I want but it never happened)
but seems that I can't rename them and I have tried that if I take 2 pictures after IMG_0017, but I delete them (which is delete IMG_0018 and IMG_0019), then take another new picture again, it will name as IMG_0020 instead of IMG_0018.
Questions:
1. Are there any methods to reset the photo number by deleting file under the "PhotoData" that we can see in iPhone Explorer?
OR
2. Are there any methods to rename the photo in the "camera roll" folder?
I have tried to rename the photo directly in iPhone Explorer but it will make the photo cannot be read in iphone.
3. Is it possible that I can rename them directly and rebuild the camera roll by deleting the Photos.sqlite under the PhotoData folder to solve the unreadable problem in iphone 4?
Thanks a lot to read all of the words above

Thanks for your quick reply. I think I have tried but I cannot.
There are no any options to let you choose "rename" in Windows 7 if you connect the iphone via USB
I have tried to rename the photo directly in iPhone Explorer but it will make the photo cannot be read in iphone and just got nothing to show on its screen until I rename it into the previos name again then the picture will show properly.
May be it can but I do not know how to rename them in Windows 7, could you please show me step by step?

Import and rename photos via Automator and ExifTool

Hiya,
Just finished my work on a Automator workflow in order to import and rename photos from a portable hard disk.
I had the problem that my portable hard disk (with integrated card-reader) was not recognised by Image Capture or Aperture. Therefore I couldn't import my photos straight away into Aperture.
Another problem I had was that Aperture doesn't rename photos while importing. Whereas other Automator actions offer this feature, they all didn't fulfill my requirements - yeah, I can be very fussy
That's why I started initially to write a Perl script based on ExifTool in order to copy and rename photos to my liking. Once this was done and very much in use, I started to put it into an Automator action with a little AppleScript around it.
Eventually, I initiated the entire Automator workflow with the Check For Disk action.
More information and the files needed can be found on my website http://photography.stephanjaeger.eu/2007/03/improve-your-digital-photography-wor kflow.html.
The only drawback of this script is that only one camera is supported. At the moment, I work on a solution to support several cameras.
The Perl script can used by itself, if you feel comfortable in using the Terminal.
I hope you find the information and the Automator action helpful.
Any feedback appreciated.
Best regards,
Stephan Jaeger

Brian,
Thanks for giving it a try. Let me know how you get on!
If you have any problems, please don't hesitate to contact me.
By the way, you don't have to use an external hard disk. You could replace easily the first step in that workflow with an other action, such as defining a folder that should be monitored, or selecting manually a folder that contains photos.
I hope that I find some time over the week-end to make some changes to the script. I will set up as well a page on my web site with more details.
All the best,
Stephan

In Aperature, how do you keep photos in the order you changed them to while editing? When you go to burn them to a disk, the order changes from what you see on the screen.

I need to know how to save my photos to a disk for a client in the order I changed them while working on them. I photographed a party with another photographer and joined both photographers photos. Now I want to keep them in the order the event took place and how I rearranged them.

The exported photos will show on the disk like any sequence of files, sorted by date, name, filetype, etc. To help your client to sort them according to your sequence, rename the files and append a sequence number. You can rename them on export by using an export preset, for example the name format "Custom name with index". That will append a number to the filename, according to the position in the album you are exporting.
