How do you rename multiple files at the same time

how do you rename multiple photo files with a name at the same time?

This would be an excellent use of Automator. Here is a link to some instructions on how to do this using Automator.

How can I rename many files at the same time?

Hello!
I have a bunch of PDF files (2 thousand at least) that I need to transfer to another Mac but since it's running OS 9.2 it won't accept the files because the names are too long, therefore, I need a quick way to change all such files into a shorter name but maintaining some of the serial numbers each file name has (i.e., not changing all to the same name but just taking off the first or last 5 characters for example), is there a way to do this sort of thing with OS 10.3.9 or 10.5.2?
Best!
Danny

Look at this shareware. http://www.jonn8.com/ntf/ It's a batch renaming app, but I'm not sure it will do exactly what you want. However, it does have a 7 day free trial.
If you do a Google serach using +batch file rename mac+ you can review a lot more apps.

How do you check multiple apps at the same time in itunes?

for syncing to the iphone...how can I check more than one app at a time...but not all of them.
I can highlight them, but it doesn't check them.

You have to go to each app that you want to select and select the app. There is no option to highlight/select multiple apps at once to check the highlighted/selected apps to be checked for transfer to your iPhone. By the time you go though and select each app followed by making another selection to check each app, you would already have each app checked.

Solaris 11 IPS: How do you post multiple versions of the same package?

How do you post multiple versions of the same software package on a single IPS instance(port)? Oracle was able to do it here with versions 151 and 175 of S11:
http://pkg.oracle.com/solaris/release/
Unfortunately, based on my searches, no where in the documentation (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/solaris11/technologies/ips-323421.html) does it explain to the development community how this is done. The best I can do is create pkg repo instances on different ports to host each different software version.
We are trying to deploy an IPS repository for our drivers and utilities that our customers can link to and pull updates from. We have been able to post a software package to the repository using the command:
pkgsend publish -s http://localhost:1234 -d ./ Appv1.p5m
This posts the package on the IPS repository instance at port 1234 on the server. However, we would like to post multiple versions of the package on the server at the same URL. Why the same URL? So that our customers and end-users need only point to a single URL to pull down our software rather than having to add a new URL to the publisher list each time we have an update. We want at least 5 of the previous software versions to be available on the server. Posting each version of the application or driver on a different IPS instance on a different port will require customers to add multiple URLs to their publisher list and they also will not be able to initiate remote scans for updates.
Has anybody been able to do this? Is any documentation forthcoming?

dhduvall: Thanks for your response. Yes, one would think that as long as the version numbers are different, you should be able to accumulate multiple versions of a package in a repository. It looks like Oracle has done it in their S11 repository unfortunately, as far as I know, they have not shared the steps on how to do this. I would like to publish two versions of the same package. I.E. two different manifests with two different fmri.pkg version strings and two different binaries.
If I publish one package after another like this:
pkgsend publish -s http://localhost:1234 Appv1.p5m
pkgsend publish -s http://localhost:1234 Appv2.p5m
Then only the second package shows up in the repository, as if it over-wrote the first one.
Running pkgsend with two manifest, like this:
pkgsend publish -s http://localhost:1234 Appv1.p5m Appv2.p5m
Will cause pkgsend to combine the packages and manifests as if they were a single package... not what I am trying to do.
Both approaches are complete without errors but neither achieves what I am trying to do.
alan.pae: Thank you. Unfortunately, the link didn't really help. I've read Oracle's white papers and IPS developer guide so I'm familiar with the topics covered.
Lex: Yes, I know. I specified the versions in the pkg.fmri value string.

How do you add multiple effects to the same clip

How do you had multiple effects to the same clip. I have tried for hours
I would like to add sepia and aged movie to the same clip. I heard it can be done, but have not figured out how to do it.
anyone please.

Normally you can apply only one video effect at a time. But for Sepia, black and white, and others that can be done through the video Adjustments tab, you are in luck.
Aged Movie should already have a bit of a sepia tone.
If you want more of a sepia tone or you want to fine tune the sepia effect you can do it with the Clip Inspector/Video Adjustments tab.
Note: Thanks to Jeff Carlson of MacWorld for this tip.
If you're looking for a washed-out sepia appearance, first open iMovie's preferences and turn on the Show Advanced Tools option, which adds more controls to the Video Adjustments HUD and other areas of the program. Select the clip you want to alter and press the V key. Set Saturation to 0 percent, and then drag the Red Gain slider to 143 percent, the Green Gain slider to 90 percent, and the Blue Gain slider to 53 percent (feel free to tweak these settings to customize the results). Click on Done when you're finished. Note that the clip thumbnail still appears in color, as the video was shot, but the preview reflects your changes.--JC
If you need to apply the same settings to all clips, first select the clip you have adjusted. Then Edit/Copy. Then Edit/Select All. Then Edit/Paste Adjustments.

In Elements 7.0, how can I delete multiple photos at the same time?

In Adobe Photoshop Elements 7.0, how can I delete multiple photos at the same time? Please be a little specific so I can follow your instructions as I'm not real smart at computers; I'm an intermediate user. Thank you.

Shift-click the photos or Ctrl-click them to select them, then right-click one of them and choose Delete from Catalog. They will all go together.

Is it possible to upload multiple files at the same time?

Hi folks,
It seems pretty trivial to implement a file upload item, but is there some way to allow selection (upload) of multiple files at the same time? Seems like this has probably come up before, but I didn't find much for solutions in my search. Any links or insight would be appreciated.
Thanks!
-Adam vonNieda

Thank you both for your replies.
@Manish - That does allow for multiple file uploads without refreshing the page, but does not allow for multiple file uploads at the same time.
@Tony - That might be the way I end up going, although I probably should have been more specific. It would be really nice it there was a way to do a mutli-file select using the control or shift button like you can with a standard file selection dialog (if you want to copy multiple files, for example). Having a separate line for each file browser means there has to be a limit on the number that can be selected at the same time.
Has anyone implemented a method of selecting multiple files at once, and hitting an upload button once to get them into the database?
Thanks again Manish and Tony, very helpful.

How do I delete multiple documents at the same time

You can select multiple adjacent files or folders by clicking on the first one then shift-click on the last one. Multiple non-adjacent files or folders can be selected one at a time by command clicking on each one. Click on any selected file or folder then drag/drop to trash.

Can you opening multiple albums at the same time in Photo (not iPhoto)?

When converting the iPhoto library to Photo most of the albums that were in place in iPhoto converted to albums in Photo . . . .but not all. Some were retained as events mainly those that were folders within an album. In order to move them to the right album I would like to have multiple albums open at the same time (side by side) so that I can make sure not to duplicate photos or move them to the wrong spot.
I cant see how to do this, it seems that I can need to open one album and check phots and then close to look within and other and rely on memory. There must be a more efficient and accurate way to do this?

All of the events in iPhoto were converted to albums and are located in the Folder titled iPhoto Event in the sidebar of Photos.
You can't open multiple albums at the same time. You can create a smart album that will do essentially the same thing with the following criteria:
Album is "A"
Album is "B".
The smart album will display all of the photos in those two albums.

How can I unlock numerous files at the same time (i.e. photos) so I can make changes (rotate etc)?

Im using Lion on a MacBook Pro 15in (just under two years old) and I would like to know if I can lock numerous photo files at the same time so I can make changes to them. At the moment when I select an entire folder to go through and make changes, ie rotate in Preview, I am told with each photo that I have to unlock it. I am going through photos I took of archival material and have nearly 5000 photos to adjust and make changes to. This small step is taking up a lot of time.
I realise there will probably be a common 'sense' answer to this but it alludes me at the moment so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

How do you stop multiple users executing the same calc script at the same time?

We have an issue when users uplaod a spreadsheet and then run a calc script. at one time we have multiple exectuions of the script running.
This slows up the system and we have to go cancel all the executions and run it again.
Can we stop this and put them on a queue, so only one execution of the calc happens at one time. Or stop multiple executions getting submitted at all.

You could use EXCLUSIVECALC to stop more than one calc running at the same time, although this will apply to all applications on your server. And it doesn't just stop the same calc being launched twice. Easier than the alternatives I can think of though, if it works for you.
