How to rename files in OS X SL, from 2 similar sets of picts?

Hello,
I have 2 sets to files that are different but carry the same file name, e.g. "PICT_001...PICT050" twice.
In Finder, I'm looking for a way to select all pictures from one set and rename all at once, e.g. "PICT_051...PICT100" at once.
Please help.
Thanks all

David
I have to agree with Jeff and the other Poster.
IMHO you really do not want to import anything from your 10.2 Server. Configure and Deploy 10.6 Server from scratch. I've seen problems and unpredictable results when importing from 10.4 Server let alone an earlier version.
You could use "ditto" from the command line if you wish to copy data shares from 10.2 to 10.6 Server, but I don't think you'll 'gain' anything by doing this. 10.6 Server uses ACLs so you'll be using that Permissions Model instead of POSIX. ACLs supercede POSIX.
Beyond this and an important point to make is the reliance OSX Server has on DNS. This really can't be stressed enough. If all you want is a simple AFP File Server and nothing else you should still configure DNS simply to provide the Server with the stability it needs. If this is going to be the only server on the network configure the DNS Service. If there is an existing Server already running DNS Services create appropriate records. Avoid the use of .local if possible and if you have a real world domain use that instead.
If you know nothing of DNS then try to learn as much as you can because you will need it even though it may not seem so to begin with. No-one assumes you know anything about it anyway although if you've been using email and internet for some time you must at least be aware of it? On the surface it may seem complicated but truly at its heart it is extremely simple. Finally keep things simple and you should be OK?
My 2p.

In lr4 where/how to rename files if loaded from folder already on hard drive?

Files imported from a card reader can be renamed upon import but where/how to rename files added from a folder already on the hard drive? Also, how to rename files so as to not have gaps in the number sequence once the "rejects" have been deleted? Thanks.

Yes and yes. And, using it with the new shoot name renamed the files perfectly!
There is even a "original number suffix" so if you don't like IMG_4501 and prefer DSC_4501 you can pull the 4501 (the suffix) and replace the first three characters.
So, in one operation SFO-shoot-(IMG_4501).NEF could become Wine-country-shoot-(IMG_4501).NEF or even Wine-country-shoot-(4501).NEF if you prefer. Powerful.
Thank you Rikk and Adobe! Chris R

Have them install Quicktime on their PC's from Apple's website, that's the easiest fix.

How to rename files that appear in multiple .book files?

I have about 50 .fm files, and 4 .book files, each of which includes about 20 of the .fm files.
I want to rename some of the files.
If I open all four .book files at once, and I go to First.book and rename file Q, I want it to be renamed in all the other .book files in which it happens to be included.
How can I do that?
Thanks.

You have to rename the file in each book that it is included in. After the first re-name, the other books will treat the old filename as a missing one.

How to rename files by folder name in applescript

Hi,
I need to be able to rename files within a folder to the folder name. I have a work flow and script that allows me to find the files within a folder, enter a new file name and starting sequence number in tow seperate dialogue boxes. What I want to be able to achieve is to rename the files without manually entering the name... I still want to be able to manually enter the number.

Use code such as:
tell application "Finder"
set the_folder to (choose folder)
repeat with this_file from 1 to (count (get files of the_folder))
set name of file this_file of the_folder to (name of the_folder) & " " & this_file
end repeat
end tell
replacing the last this_file on the fourth line with the variable which contains the number.

How to upload files/images to the database from a form.

I'm making a custom user profile form.
The users can update their profile in this form.
I cannot use the standard profile form, because the customer got very specific
demands about the context of the profile form.
In this custom profile form the user must be able to upload an image
from their hard disk(just like in the standard profile form).
I've got the following questions about uploading pictures:
- How do I make a button to show the explorer window.
- how do I get the chooses file-name in a field.
- how do I get the new file in the database.
- how do I get rid of an old file in the database.
- how do I get the image on the form.
Or is there a special portal way to upload images/files in a form.
Does anyone have a clue?
regards
arny

Hi,
Regular Portal forms will support upload of images/documents to the database. Just identify your column as a blob, and the 'Browse' button will automatically show up in the form and the users will get to choose the file they want to upload from their desktop.
The thing is, I haven't been able to figure out how to get that document/image back out of the database (e.g. in a report), once it's put in. Maybe someone else can answer that.

HT2506 how to rename files using preview

I have scanned some images to my desktop, and now I want to rename them; how do I do this?

Just as an amendmend: the above was true in better -blessed- times.
Now (Mavericks at least) also this is gone. Why not just have the option to click in the name of the file in the Thumbnail bar and change the name? Why no preview.app>menu-item "rename"? Anybody on earth would understand this, probably even my dog i don't have....
Currently i don't find any option to rename singular pictures while browsing them using preview.
Or did i miss s.th. obvious?
Just adding to another oddity i am across with about preview (Annotate in Preview - Underline Tool with Different Colors) ...
Not to mention, that preview always resets the viewport of a document opened in preview to the document-beginning, when havin opened multiple documents in preview an closing one of them, totally annoying.
I hope this gets sorted out soon, preview was almost perfect pre 10.8, no idea whats's goin wrong there...
Sigh...

How to rename filer 7-Mode ?

Hello All
I have to rename systems. How should I do?
- standalone system (7.3.6)
- HA system (8.0.2 7-Mode)
No CIFS and NFS, just SAN
I thank you in advance !

Also, i'm not sure how old your systems are, but you really should upgraded to a newer code. you are on code thats very old. at the cli just type hostname newfilername but it's best to reboot or source rc file srouce -v /etc/rc if you know how to do that

How to rename files from 2 bodies

I've got about 4K files shot with two different D200 bodies and need a way to re-name the RAW files without overwriting any duplicates. Nikon doesn't show serial numbers in EXIF data and one body had one dedicated lens for the entire time, so I should be able to filter for all images shot with that lens. But what then? My re-namimg scheme is to use YYYY_MMDD_original file number generated by camera. However, there were a handful of times I pulled the card from camera A and used it for some shots in camera B. Apparently the original file numbers continued in sequence (?) although I was anticipating the camera-specific numbers to be used.
I hope I've explained this well enough. Before I rename and make a complete mess, can anyone offer a suggestion?
TIA

I'd like to hear ideas on this too. Particularly if any of the sequence number settings like "image #" or "total #" can be used to good effect in this case.
For now, I simply rename on import with a sequence number. When the filenames collide LR appends a "-1" to the 2nd import. After they're all in the folder I make sure I've sorted by capture time and then do another rename pass to get them all sequenced the way I want them in the folder.
It would be nice to do this in one pass, without having to put, say, the camera serial in the file name.

How to rename files already in catalog?

I accidentally imported a large batch of images into LR 2.5 (on a new Windows 7 machine) using the "Filename" template rather than my customary "Date - Filename" template, and did a LOT of work on the files before I noticed the error. Is there a way I can reapply the Date-Filename template or otherwise prepend the date (in the intended format) to the file names both in LR and on my disk in one fell swoop?

Select the images, hit f2.

How to transfer files Pages docs in bulk from iPad to Mac

Since the lovely iCloud Drive came out and Yosemite, things have been woefully out of sync with my iPad. I've posted in a number of places on these boards and even, according to a rep I've been in touch with from Apple Support, an engineer is troubleshooting the problem. I have a LOT of Pages docs I've accumulated in iCloud on my iPad. I cannot access iCloud through a browser or on my desktop Mac. In other words, I can view and edit files from my iPad, but I canNOT do the same on my Mac. If I want to transfer files from my iPad the only way I can think of is
Open Pages
Tap the arrow up at the top
Tap send a copy
Tap ONE selected document
Tap what format to send it in (sadly, I'm using Word b/c I don't trust Pages anymore)
Tap selection of how to send (to ITunes)
Only then can I go to iTunes on my Mac and transfer the file. I have probably hundreds of docs I want and need and can't afford to have them floating semi-available in the cloud or lost forever.
A few other details:
- I cannot access Pages in iCloud through a browser (any browser, any machine, anywhere; I've tried every combination possible, when I log into iCloud and go to Pages, it cycles and then dumps me out to the login screen)
- I have a few third-party apps which let me look into my iPad and have slightly more functionality than iTunes permits, but none of them permit wholesale basic drag-and-drop a bunch of files and save to another drive. I know this is b/c the files are ostensibly in iCloud, but
- Here are other places I've posted about this problem
can't log in to iCloud.com
Pages under Yosemite not in sync with iCloud Drive and other issues
Thanks in advance.....

Though no one replied to this topic, I'm updating with what I've learned after spending many hours on the phone with an Apple tech rep who had esacalated to engineers. There is NO solution. Docs that are out of sync or unretrievable from iCloud or iCloud Drive, they cannot assist with. They offered to wipe my iCloud Drive account and reset it, but I wanted them to restore it afterwards. Just a simple, pull the data off, dump it on an FTP server so I can access it. Nope. No assistance. Not their problem. I have to manually pull ALL the files off my iPad's iCloud account, the ones I can get to and go through this insane 6 step process to get to those docs. Really disappointed with Apple. Using MS Word on the iPad and though not perfect...at least the Pages docs won't be lost.

How to add files to a mixed project from Premiere?

I have a 28:30 video at work that was cut in Premiere. While editing, I would send single clips to Audtion to remove sounds, or noise, etc... Worked great. Nearing the end of the project, I exported the entire sequence to Audtion to do a first mix. Worked great, except now I'm stuck. I need to add a few more sound effects and swap out a music track or two. I added them in Premiere to get timecode when the clips need to start. In Audition, I opened up the project for the video that I mixed last week. When I try to import the audio files I need to add, they're all greyed out and won't import.
Am I doing something wrong, or is there a way to perhaps make changes in Premiere and have them update in Audition without remixing the entire video?
*Note: The files I'm trying to bring into my project are AIFF*

Just figured out the initial problem- The files I was given don't have an extension on them. Once I added it, Audition likes them just fine. Still can't figure out the second issue- can I add files in Premiere, and bring it into an already mixed project in Audition?

How to Browse files saved in Icloud Drive from iphone

When i bought a 20 GB storage on Icloud i thought I can browse the files like i do with Dropbox or Google drive but unfortunately i can not see any icon on the screen that leads me to browsing the files I have saved.
Can anyone help me with that?
