How to change names of imported pictures

As you all know, cameras give pictures those strange insignificant names 'DSCFD00023', etc.
In the old windows days, my picture importing software allowed me to change the names of these during import, to whatever prefix I chose 'Beach' and then a sequential numbering.
Is this not possible in iPhoto or in the other importing application? I can't seem to do it. It would be a pain to rename every picture manually in the finder...
thanks

1. Do not rename pictures in the Finder after importing them. It is strongly advised that you do not move, change or in anyway alter things in the iPhoto Library Folder as this can cause the application to fail and even lead to data loss
2. If you want to name the pics before importing use a batch renamer like File List: http://www.petermaurer.de/nasi.php?section=filelist (Donation Ware)
3. Another posibility is to use the Titling option in iPhoto. After you import the pics select them and go Photos -> Batch Change and set an appropriate title. However, titling will not rename the files themselves. However, if you are exporting them using the File -> Export command you have an option to set the title as the File Name.

  • Downloaded pictures from wife's iphone to computer.  now when I plug my phone into computer it identifies it as wife's phone.  How to change name back to me.

    I connected my wife's ipone to my computer and downloaded pictures we had taken to a picture file in computer.  Now when I connect my iphone to the computer it identifies the name of the iphone as hers.  Everything else, music, apps, contacts, etc. are correct for my phone.  How do I change the name of the phone to my name when importing photos to computer?

    Assuming you are using the same Apple ID on the iPad and iPhone, you could erase the iPhone and then find the iPad backup.
    Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings (on the iPhone).
    Then as part of the setup process, you would be invited to transfer information from the iPad's backup.

  • How to change lenght of imported photos

    Hi,
    I imported a lot of photos to show a sort of slide-show at the end of the film. They automatically show a lenght of 10 seconds. How can I change that for all photos? Is there a default value that can be changed. This would save me the effort to cut 150 photos....
    Thanks!

    Thanks...!
    funny thing is: i found the default setting. it was at 12 seconds, but pictures were imported at 10 seconds. so to get 4 seconds, i had to input 5...
    changing the duration once pictures were imported was only possible in the timeline. but there i had to do it picture by picture....
    best solution was to import all pictures anew and start building the timeline again.
    thanks again....!

  • Incorrect file name when importing pictures from camera

    I am using PE 10 on Mac Snow Leopard.
    When I import pictures from my camera and select "Rename Files" with "Custom Date" + "Shot Date" (any format), the file name includes the custom name correctly, but the date part of the file name is some random date (with a weird year: 1913, 1969). Note the example shown on the Photo Downloader is usually the one used. The shot date in the meta data is usually correct. This appears to be similar to a problem when using the "Create Subfolder" option.
    Any ideas why or a work-around?
    I was using PE 8 and did not have this problem.

    Hi dannrendon2,
    Have you successfully run the PSE10_Hot.dmg file? You will not see any change in PSE10 or PhotoDownloader , it is just for fixing the issue of incorrect date format .
    Please follow all the steps mentioned in KB article link mentioned above. Finally when you installed the updater there would be a message of successful installation .
    If there is a failure in your updating process [In your case it is second attempt of updation, there may be a failure] , uninstall your application , check if there is any residual file in application folder under Elements Organizer or Photoshop Elements (delete them). Now again install PSE10 and try to update PSE10_HotFix.dmg updater. There should be a successfully completed message.
    Thanks,
    Nizam

  • How to change keyword in many pictures at the same time?

    I gave a big series of pictures the wrong keywords. Now, I can't figure out how to change them (besides one by one...).
    If I select e.g. 10 pictures in Library-mode, how to change keywords on them all at the same time?

    Make sure you are in Grid View, primary monitor (if you have two), select 10 pictures and type (or delete) the keywords in the Keywording panel in the left upper corner.
    Make sure the Metadata->Show Metadata for Target Photo Only is unchecked in the menus. Otherwise your edits will only apply to the primary selected (most selected) image.

  • 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.

  • How to change or remove my picture in Mail

    So I'm trying to change/remove the picture that's attached to my emails. I go into my user account under System Preferences and I find that I haven't assigned a picture there so I'm not sure where Mail is getting it from. I did copy a bunch of Mail files from my old computer so perhaps this came with them. Does anyone know how to change this?
    Thanks,
    Ben

    Take a look at your card in Address Book.
    BTW, the picture is shown in the header section of the message for your convenience only. It is not sent as part of the message.
