MBA freezes when changing file names

So I have no idea why but when ever I click on a file or app and try to change the name before I can type the little swirly thing pops up for about a second or two. Why is that ? I don't have any apps open or anything.

You may want to look at implementing script like the following

IMac freezes when changing the screen saver

Hi all:
I originally posted this in the "Using Mac OS X" forum (iMac freezes when changing the screen saver, but thought I'd post here as well since the issue arises on a freshly installed OS.
We've got three 350MHz slot-loading G3 iMacs (with 512MB RAM) which we're planning to use for basic word processing. The install of Panther (10.3.5 from black retail cds with 10-seat volume license) went fine on the first two. Ran the updates to 10.3.9, installed MS Office 2004, everything working great (they're a little slow, but after all, they are only 350 MHz).
On the third, the first problem we noticed was the computer would lock up whenever we changed the screen saver from the default (Flurry; Computer Name also works). It continues to do so even after: repair permissions; repair disk; Disk Warrior; reset pram; reset nvram; reset pmu; change RAM; change hard drive; erase hard drive; write zeros to hard drive; reinstall with different set of retail CDs; trash preferences, and delete cache files. (If there's anything I've left out, it's in the other thread).
Now we've noticed that we can't create any new user accounts. We've thought about putting this one in production, just warning the user that they can't change the screen saver, but god only knows what will turn up next.
I'm starting to think it's a logic board issue, but could it be that selective? And would you see the same problem with another hard drive and different install discs? Am I missing something?
BTW, there's a crash log with the other thread.

Dual 2.0 GHz G5 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

I'm going to mark this one as answered.
I removed the hard drive from the iMac, and put it into another 350 MHz iMac, and everything works great. I can select any screen saver without having it freeze, create new accounts, whatever my little heart desires.
In checking the history of the problem iMac, there was an assortment of problems with booting (both from the hard drive and from the CD-ROM drive) which were never satisfactorily resolved. The problems just seemed to go away after sitting unplugged for a few days, as much as for anything we actually did to it.
Now we just have to decide whether it's worth fixing, or using it somewhere in a non-critical role with OS 9 installed.
Cheers,
Andrew

InDesign CC freezes when packaging files.

InDesign CC freezes when packaging files. Just spinning beachball. Need to Force Quit. Tried resetting Prefs at startup (holding down keys), but no change. Looking for path to Default and Data files, but not finding them in Library. (D'oh!) Downloaded most recent CC versionlast night. Any ideas or should I try CC (2014)

Hi Pam,
I would certainly give CC2014 a try.
Other than that, make sure there’s no illegal characters like slashes in the file or folder names and that the path is not too long.

ADE changes file names

The book I downloaded has each chapter as a seperate .pdf, each with it's own unique filename. ADE has retitled every chapter (.pdf) to the name of the book. Now that all the chapters have the same name, I can't transfer them to my Kobo. How do I change titles or get ADE to stop changing file names?
Thanks

Dimitri,
          As usual, thanks for the simple but informative explanation!

Change file name with oreilly servlet

I am using oreilly servlet package and I want to change the file name to the file I am uploading, is this possible ?
How ?
Thanks.
here I post the servlet code:
package com.reducativa.sitio.servlets;
* DemoParserUploadServlet.java
* Example servlet to handle file uploads using MultipartParser for
* decoding the incoming multipart/form-data stream
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import java.io.*;
import com.oreilly.servlet.multipart.*;
public class DemoParserUploadServlet extends HttpServlet {
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException {
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
response.setContentType("text/plain");
out.println("Demo Parser Upload Servlet");
File dir = new File("f:/");
if (! dir.isDirectory()) {
throw new ServletException("Supplied uploadDir " + "f:/ " +
" is invalid");
try {
MultipartParser mp = new MultipartParser(request, 10*1024*1024); // 10MB
Part part;
while ((part = mp.readNextPart()) != null) {
String name = part.getName();
if (part.isParam()) {
// it's a parameter part
ParamPart paramPart = (ParamPart) part;
String value = paramPart.getStringValue();
out.println("param; name=" + name + ", value=" + value);
else if (part.isFile()) {
// it's a file part
FilePart filePart = (FilePart) part;
String fileName = filePart.getFileName();
if (fileName != null) {
// the part actually contained a file
long size = filePart.writeTo(dir);
out.println("file; name=" + name + "; filename=" + fileName +
", filePath=" + filePart.getFilePath() +
", content type=" + filePart.getContentType() +
", size=" + size);
else {
// the field did not contain a file
out.println("file; name=" + name + "; EMPTY");
out.flush();
catch (IOException lEx) {
this.getServletContext().log("error reading or saving file");
}

Hi there,
I am facing the same problem that you have stated in your Feb 26, 2002 10:28 AM message regarding "change file name with oreilly servlet", I would like to change the file name to include a unique identifier upon upload, did you ever find a solution to your problem?
Thanks!

Is it possible to change file name policy in the JRE cache folder?

We are getting calls from our clients complaining of slowdowns in loading our Java applet. The reason is a virusscanner. If a virusscanner is in the middle, it can drastically slow down the download process, and therefore cause some high delay before the user can work on the our product as expected.
On this csutomer's side, it may take up to 10 min (the first time it is ran) instead of 1 min. JRE 1.6 is in use.
They dont want to exclude from antivirus scan all files from Sun\Java\Deployment\cache folder.
Question:
Is it possible to change file name policy in the JRE cache to make it less unique?
Thanks,

I suggest you solve the real problem - big files.
There are two scenarios
1. Initial download
2. Updates.
The first takes as long as it takes. No way around it.
The second means that you can't use one jar. Otherwise every single update requires downloading the entire application every time. Multiple jars means only the one that changed is downloaded.

Tried restore OSX mountain lion, doesn't work. what should i do?

kaeandcolesmon,
If you open the recovery drive (partition) it should only have a single folder (Recovery).
To make sure that your not saving restore points to that drive.
See:
Start, Control Panel, System, System Protection tab. Make sure the D drive partition is set to OFF so that it does not save there.

The printing of .pdf file from Project 2013 stops when the file name should be written. Project 2013 crashes. Does someone know what is wrong between Project 2013 and Adobe Acrobat 9?

The Acrobat 9.x product family passed into "End of Support" mid-year of 2013.
Acrobat 9 support of MS Project via PDFMaker stops with Office 2007.
For Office 2013 support you must use Acrobat XI (11.0.1) or newer.

How do I reconnect media after changing file name?

The original file name is 1001.WAV I changed it to Take1 . How do I relocate the files? I use Pluraleyes to sync all my files.
Cheers, Greg

Change it back. NEVER change file names in the Finder level if the media is in an FCP project. Change it BEFORE you import it into FCP...or change the name IN FCP. What you did was bad bad wrong wrong. Expecially since you already did things like sync it up with pluraleyes.
Change it back. Then change the name in FCP.

Known issue: Cortana will not pronounce your name during setup or when changing your name (Windows 10 Insider Preview SDK and tools, April 2015 release)

Cortana may not speak your name when tapping the "Hear how I'll say it" button when setting up your name for the first time or when changing your name in the settings panel.

There is no workaround for this issue. However, you can still complete the process of setting or changing your name.

Change file name when using subversion

Using CS6 / Windows 8.1.
In our setup all files are checked into Subversion. This seems to cause problems when renaming files. I rename files from within Dreamweaver. All links on other pages get updated, but the file name doesn't change. This is not an issue if file hasn't been checked in yet, or for sites not using Subversion. Is this a bug? Is there a workaround?

I see this was a problem in CS5. Is it still not fixed in CS6?
Can't rename file under Subversion control.

Changed File Name but reverts to original file name when exported or copied

I created a folder of 150 photos for a video montage and numbered them all by editing the file name. When I export (or copy and paste) the images to a folder on my desktop, the files all revert back to their original file names. Any ideas?

In iPhoto what you see originally is the file name as the title. Any changes to it remain in iPhoto unless you export out with the appropriate options to either same the title with the file and/or use the title as the file name.
When you export the photos via the File->Export->File Export menu option there's a File Name drop down menu at the bottom from which you can select Use Title. That will give you the Titles you changed as the new file name.

Change file name when sending form through email

Hi all,
I created a form that can be downloaded, viewed and completed by the user in Acrobat reader, and then sent by email as a pdf-attachment by pushing a submit-button. As the form will be sent by several different users to the same address, in order to avoid confusion it would be good when the filename would not be the original form name, but someting based on the individal data entered by the user.
Is there a way of between having filled in the form and actually sending it, automatically change the file name? I know users could save the file first and thén send it, but I would like to spare them the hassle.
Thank! Mateo

To do that you woudl have to certify the form which brings into play a whole other series of issues.

File Name Associations Drop Out When Changing Project Name

Posting on behalf of a colleague. He's using Robohelp X5 on a
Windows XP computer.
"We have frequent occasions in which we must take an existing
online help project (ABC_001, for example), make some
tweaks/additions/omissions, and release a revised online help
project (ABC_002). We have been cloning the existing help project
(ABC_001), renaming the project, making the necessary changes to
the help project, adding or deleting map IDs in .hh files as
necessary, importing revised .hh files as necessary, and then
releasing the project under the new name. We want to maintain map
ID numbers and assignments (25ANG1, Map #: 640, File name:
Synchronism Check#25ANG1) from ABC_001 to ABC_002, but the File
name associations drop out when we change the project name. It is
then a laborious process to go through the list and reassign all
the topics to the appropriate File names. Is there any way to
maintain topic labels with their map ID numbers and their File name
associations from one project to another?"
TIA

My colleague's reply:
"I discovered that it requires just one more step in the help
project before I can actually see the file name
associations/aliases again. I have to recompile, as Colum
recommended, but then I have to close down RoboHelp and reopen the
project. Then, if I am in Project View and navigate to
Context-Sensitive Help/Map Files/All Map IDs, I can see all of the
file name associations again. Thank you, Colum, for your
help!"

CS2 freezes when saving files

I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit and suddenly my files freeze when saving. Runing version 9.0.2. Can anyone help?

Photoshop CS2. When I work on a file and click "save" it freezes. If I click save as, using the same name it freezes. If I save it and number or change the file name it save correctly without freezing. i.e. Save 1.jpg' save 2.jpg etc.
