How to change names in "favorite servers" list of Connect-to-Server

I've got a bunch of often-used servers saved in the list that shows up when I do "apple-K" (Finder's "Connect to Server"). but they're entered as IP addresses; I'd like to rename them so that I can actually recognize which one is which without having to look up the IP address in a list. Is there any way to customize this list to edit how the various frequently-used servers appear there?
Mike

The simplest solution would be to remove the server connections you don't want, then just re-connect to them using the name.
The recent servers are stored in ~/Library/Recent Servers/ and you can selectively remove them from there.

  • Sort the list of Favorite Servers, in the Connect to Server window?

    Hello...
    In 10.5 and 10.6, can I change the order of the Favorite Servers list in the Connect to Server window?
    I see the data is stored as files in ~/Library/Favorites, but I'm not seeing where the Connect to Server window gets its sort order.
    TIA

    Greg --
    Guillaume is totally correct.  The display order of enterprise templates is by the date they were created.  I have tested this on a Project Server 2013 system that has the latest Cumulative Updates applied.  The problem is that in the
    Microsoft Project 2013 desktop application, Microsoft has ditched the Templates dialog we used to see and replaced it with a page in the Backstage.  I am afraid that in doing so, they have eliminated the sorting capabilities that we found in earlier versions.
    Out of curiosity, I have sent an e-mail to my MPV contacts within the Microsoft Project Server development team at Microsoft, asking if there is any intention of changing this functionality to allow for sorting by template name.  If I get an answer,
    I will post it in this user forum.
    Your question is a good one, and the sorting problem (or lack of sorting) can be a real problem in any organization that has a sizable number of enterprise templates.  Hope this additional bit helps.

    Hello Christian,
    If your data source is set to come from SLD - which should be for Solution Manager and Managed systems - the job LANDSCAPE FETCH is scheduled to run overnight and send the data from SLD to SMSY.
    You can go to SM37 copy the job and release it for a instant update.

  • How to change name of uploaded file

    I am using the a multi-part form and the pl/sql gateway to enable users to upload files to portal. The files automatically get stored in the wwdoc_document$ table. The key to the file is a column called "name" which consists of a sequence number and the file type e.g. 4747.gif.. I want to change this name to a different value.
    When I change it using the standard sql Update statement, none of the pdk apis work on the record; they all return errors. I am able to change this value as long as I use a unique value, I just can't run any of the wwdoc apis against the row after that.
    Does anyone know how to change this value for a given row???

  • First time setup - how to change name...

    Here's the deal. I bought my brother in law Macbook Pro and when I bought it the feller in the shop helpfully helped me set it up. At the time I did not know my brother in laws apple ID so I used mine. I used my name too. Now - I worked out hot to register it again with his Apple ID.. BUT he still gets my name popping up from time to time. For example when he makes a movie or slide show he tells me that the slide show or movie tells him that I made it - not him...how to change this name?

    Make sure you have changed the name under the Accounts Preference pane in System Preferences. Without deleting the account and recreating it or using some command line fancy footwork, you can't completely change over the name, since your folders will still be under the old name because they were created that way, but you can change the log on name and such from there. Also, make sure until Sharing, you have changed the computer's name if that bugs you too.

  • How to change name of a logical system

    Hi SDN,
                 I am trying to customizing intial download data transfer from ECC to CRM. But in outbound queue of ECC it is showing an error of SYSFAIL with description of logical system name changed. Given note 558701.
    But I don't know old name of logical system.
    1) Can you guys please help how to find the old logical system name there are many logical systems defined in my system.
    2) and how to change it?

    Hi Ravi,
    Since logical system name is changed sombody in past must have ran BDLS to conver logical system name.
    Check tcode SLG1, this tcode will tell you whether there were any logical system conversion done in Past, if it is done then it will tell you from which old logical system its converted to new one. So you can find out old logical system name.
    Once you find out old logical system run BDLS again. It might possible BDLS ran unsuccessfully last time.

  • How to change name of software component version in IR and ID?

    Hi All,
    I have a scenario in which 50 interfaces are there.All interfaces are working fine and we are in Testing stage.
    I need to change name of Software component which I have used in IR.
    I tried with release transport. I am able to pass all my mapping programs and everything under new software component name. But in ID all configuration objects contain IR objects (Like interface mapping) with old software component name.
    Do I need to change everything in ID manually or is there any other way for this?
    Thanks in advance.
    Warm Regards,
    Gouri

    Gouri,
    If you check this blog , you are able to transfer data even without IR content, i.e, there is no message interface , no namespace in IR and stil this works. Reason, there is no validation if the message interafce exists in the IR. In the runtime the SOAP Header is filled with the interfacename and namespace and it uses these values.
    /people/william.li/blog/2006/09/08/how-to-send-any-data-even-binary-through-xi-without-using-the-integration-repository
    Likewise, irrespective of which SWCV the interface name and namespace is, things will work fine as long as they exists in the IR in your case.
    The SWCV is a means to group objects, it might be displayed while doing the manual configuration but it doesnt matter even if you just key in the values without using the help.
    Things will work fine.
    Regards
    Bhavesh

  • How to change tab history to a list instead of thumbnails

    When i open a new tab in Firefox the former visited history appears as thumbnails. How to change the past history to a LIST instead

    Please see this support article - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/new-tab-page-show-hide-and-customize-top-sites
    The '''new Tab page''' isn't intended to be a text listing of recent browsing history, but rather a visualization of "top sites" that you visit based upon the number of visits over time. There is nothing built into Firefox to switch over to a text listing, and I am unaware of an add-on available to display a text list of recent browsing history, either.

    Though you reposted this topic in the Swing forum as
    http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?thread=218408&forum=57&message=760200
    it will be difficult to handle it in one of those forums.
    I suggest to split your question into 2, a JDBC related one and a Swing related one, and post each of them in the appropiate forum.
    For the JDBC part of your question:
    What means: save file in the database?
    A file is a set of data - is your problem any different from saving data from an array or String variable or other data?

  • How to change from Mac OS X to Mac OS X Server

    Hello everyone? I have a Mac Pro Late 2013 with Mac OS X v10.9.4. I want to change from Mac OS X to Mac OS X Server v10.9.4. Is it possible?

    If an enterprise mail server is a requirement, then I'd generally recommend installing Windows Server, with Active Directory and Exchange Server, Sharepoint server and related features.  Not OS X Server.
    OS X Server includes the Postfix and Dovecot packages and related tools, and which are common Unix servers used for mail.
    If you want to run the integrated mail server within OS X Server, you'll need both private (assuming a NAT'd network) and public DNS services must be entirely correctly configured — other mail servers will use any of your DNS configuration errors as a reason not to accept mail from your server, and potentially as a reason not to send mail to your server — and you'll need static IP from your ISP, and a decent-grade firewall, and preferably a firewall with an embedded VPN server and with DMZ capabilities configured to keep any server breaches contained and separate from your inner network.  Your firewall will usually need to have TCP port 25, TCP 587, and either TCP/UDP 995 or preferably TCP 993 open, and forwarded through; the appropriate ports for whatever services you're using. 
    You'll generally not want to have your internal, private, NAT'd network DNS servers accessible to and serving translation publicly.
    Or yes, Kerio does quite well, and is definitely a step or two up from the standard mail software in OS X Server — though nowhere near what Exchange Server and Active Directory and the rest can provide for a typical enterprise.
    As for many of the questions that can arise when configuring OS X Server via Server.app for DNS and mail, please see the help within Server.app.

  • How do you turn off "There was a problem connecting to server..." notifications

    I work with a company that does a lot of shared review of documents via PDF on their local network. I, however, am a thousand miles away, and reviewing it via a separate DropBoxed copy.
    It appears every time I open the DropBoxed copy of the PDF, Adobe Acrobat begins searching for the original PDF on a server to which I am not connected. And then I get variations on the following notification until I do a full reboot:
    There was a problem connecting to the server "XXXXXXXX"
    The server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again.
    That, my friends, is a gigantic posterior pustule that I want to pop. So what's a solution.
    Before you go all "look elsewhere on this forum/Google/Whatevah for an answer to this already answered question," please understand that I have. Everywhere. For the last month. And please, don't just chime in with a "I have that problem too" with no solution. I just could really use the help of the Apple Hive Mind to solve this. If this is not the right forum, please direct me to where this should be posted.
    Thanks in advance. The specs: Macbook Pro 13" (late 2013), 512GB, OS X Yosemite 10.10 (was happening with Mavericks too).

    All "shared review" PDFs. Regular PDFs from other sources do not trigger the problem. My belief is that there is a embedded script in the shared review PDFs that continually seeks to link to the relevant servers. As I stated above, I am not on that server(s) either virtually, wirelessly or hard-wired.
    Based on your previous questions (thanks, BTW), I have "sanitized" some of the PDFs that have caused this condition and am testing to see if that takes care of the situation. But seriously, isn't there some way to kill the constant "trying to connect to server" thing? It's annoying as (fill in the blank).
    Thanks for the help on this.
