"Name is already taken" by a burn folder

When I burn a CD, I prefer to rename it to match the contents, such as "Birthday Party". That is a normal contextual menu option for any blank CD. If the burn fails, I can eject the bad disc and insert a fresh one, and it mounts as "Untitled CD". If I try to rename it "Birthday Party", I get the message "The name "Birthday Party" with extension ".fpbf" is already taken." The burn folder with that name cannot be deleted, but I can remove it from the sidebar. That doesn't change anything about the error. How can I properly remove a burn folder so the system forgets its name and allows me to reuse the name? Don't suggest that I restart. I know that will work. I simply want to know how to properly delete a burn folder so its name is forgotten by the system.

I do not get any message at all when I try to trash it. The folder simply does not move to the trash. I marked this solved before I tried the unlocking solution, but I am confident it will work. It seems counter-intuitive to have a locked by default action, since a burn folder should be editable. I thought that was one of the main ideas of a burn folder.

The mac name is already taken by another device

Is it possible to restore Gamecenter after update and restore?? After update, tried logging into Gamecenter and it says that the user name is already taken. Yeah, I know..... by me!!!

One of my kids ipods needed an update. It wouldn't let me do it via the itouch (like the other 2 itouches did). I had to connect to the PC, sync, update and then restore. Once I did, the apps could be downloaded again via icloud (which wasn't on the itouch before) but progress on games that were through Gamecenter did not transfer. Tried logging into Gamecenter and it states the user name is already taken. Yeah, I know it's already taken, BY MY DAUGHTER!!! Apparently she has a dragon game app that she manages through Gamecenter that she has worked her way to level 22 and now it is all gone. It wants her to restart from level 1. I know this isn't life or death and not like losing work data etc. But to a 9 year old who has spent $40 of her own money on gems, coins etc....... this is the end of the world. LOL. I do want to try to help her, I just don't know how.

Thank you. After posting I started to search for Backflip studios and found this support id. I had meanwhile created a new nickname, very similar to the original one, and requested that they swap the advanced world to the new id. I sent this last Saturday evening. This morning (so effectively on their first workday after my request!) I received a kind response from Rachael that they had swapped the parks. Like your daughter my son couldn't believe his eyes. Thank you for your post, original and reply, I hope others will find it too and that Rachael can keep up such excellent support. It means a lot...

ICloud email address "already taken" -- how to reclaim?

hi!
i previously activated iCloud on my iPad 4 several months back. When it prompted me to create an iCloud email address, I was able to create one. (Note: this iCloud email address ends in @icloud.com while my Apple ID--which i used to activate iCloud on my iPad 4--ends with @live.com.)
my iCloud data were not syncing properly on all my iOS devices, so I deleted the iCloud data on all of them. I never bothered using iCloud with a browser on the desktop.
lately i bought an iPad retina mini. i decided to reactivate iCloud using my Appple ID (the one i used previously that ends with @live.com). this time, my iCloud data (contacts, calendar, reminders) sync effortlessly. however, if i try to activate notes and mail (which required me to create an @icloud.com email address) and i input my previous @icloud.com email address, it is rejected and the error "this name is already taken" appears.
i know that this @icloud.com email address is mine and mine alone. it uses a combination of characters that only i could possibly come up with. however, since my first attempt with iCloud syncing wasn't that great, and since i didn't bother with opening iCloud with a browser, i never bothered with the @icloud.com password. now i can no longer remember it. i cannot even recall if i entered any in the first place.
i tried having my @icloud.com password reset using the security questions, but it doesn't accept my date of birth. if i use email authentication (using my @live.com email address), i do not get to receive any messages to authenticate my identity.
i would very much like to reuse the @icloud.com email address i previously created. is there a way to do so? how do i reset the password for the @icloud.com email address?
any help would be greatly appreciated. thank you.

Hi ignudi,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I know you have already tried to answer the security questions to reset your Apple ID password, the @icloud.com address, and you are not receiving the email authentication. The following attached article has steps resetting your Apple ID password.
If you forgot your Apple ID password

If you are still having issues reseting the password, it may be necessary to contact Apple Support as the article suggests.
Have a great day,

Burn Folder Appearance and two strange file names

Dumb questions here, but I have to ask:
1. Where did this Burn Folder come from? I do not remember setting it up. What it a key stroke or something else I did? How do I get rid of it off my desktop?
2. 245827111.asx.asf and 245827111.ram - These two files just appeared on my desktop. Can anyone help me understand how this happened? What are they? What did I install?

#1- Burn folders are created if you insert a blank CD/DVD except when responding to a pre-initiated burn request (like pressing the burn button in iTunes)
#2- They may be "anchors" (don't know what else to call them) for streaming media files. If you clicked on a streaming video link, it is likely that those files-usually about 4KB were downloaded at that time, normally they are removed once the stream is played. If they're not, delete them yourself.
FYI-.ram is extension for RealPlayer files. .asf.asx is Advanced Streaming Format

Microsoft Windows Network: The local device name is already in use.

I posted in : http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-networking/disconnected-network-drive-error-as-follows-an/9a877c38-5e86-4c34-84c2-427a965577c6?page=2
Error:
"An error occurred while reconnecting drive letter to \\network server\share folder.
Microsoft Windows Network: The local device name is already in use.
This connection has not been restored."
1) A workstation is running Windows 7
2) The user has a drive letter mapped to a UNC
3) The connection is interrupted at some point and then restored
4) Upon attempting to access the mapped network drive, the user gets the error about the letter being
already in use.
Extremely disappointed that some of the posts marked as answers were obviously not, shows how poor the moderators here are.
My latest results clearly point to a Windows 7 client problem:
I received the error.
Had run nslookup so had a prompt open.
ran dir z:    worked. went to Windows Explorer, same error.
ran dir z:\sharename    worked. went to Windows Explorer, same error.
copy con z: test.txt then type test.txt; could create and retrieve file. Went and clicked on mapped drive in Windows explorer and received same error.
Obviously(?) not a Server or Networking problem. Ran Malwarebytes from bootable CD (client doesn't believe in AV). Didn't happen with USB flash drive.
Any other ideas?

This is usually because the drive letter assigned to the network share is taken by something else. Maybe, by a removable drive.
Moderators and other answerers do their best to help specific cases, but everyone has their own situation. Apply common sense to the replies you find in the forums.
When you typed dir z: - is Z: the drive letter you wanted for this share, or it was automatically assigned?
-- pa
Alternatively you could try using common sense when you post, as well as taking the time to read the entire issue post so that you can avoid showing both your ignorance and arrogance (arrogance without any competency to back it I might add).
Suggesting that it might be "another drive" that took over the mapping shows your lack of reading comprehension and is unhelpful.   Please take the time to, once again, read first.
Lastly moderators here generally show little technical skill beyond entering search words into a knowledge-base of articles and then applying the results incorrectly further exacerbating the situation for the customer.

Cannot backup my files / copy my files and folders due to error message " The operation can't be completed because an item with the name ".DS_Store" already exists. "

Hi Apple community!
I have a [rather worrying] problem.
When I try to copy all my files from my documents on my mac [or the entire documents folder] into an external drive, I get this error message
" The operation can’t be completed because an item with the name “.DS_Store” already exists. "
I am not given an option to skip this file or anything else.
But I simply cannot complete the operation!
I have tried deleting a few of the .ds_store files, [both in the original and in the destinations]
but no success.
The same thing keeps happening.
At first, this was just happening when I was trying to backup to my dropbox folder [the one on my mac's harddrive, which gets synced to the cloud],
but then I tried to back up my documents to my external hard drive, and I realized it is giving me the same error message.
So effectively, it seems I cannot backup my files anywhere!
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

The operation could not be completed because an item with the name xyz already exists

I am trying to make a click and drag backup on an external FAT 32 drive to compliment my Time Machine backup (long story) and I've done this each time by dragging my critical folders into the drive. I get a message asking me to stop, replace or skip, and whether to apply to all items. i click replace, apply all, and let it go.
however, one stubborn folder refuses to comply. every single time I click and drag a group of folder that includes that one, I get a message saying "the operation could not be completed because an item with the name xyz already exists" even after I selected the the "apply all" prompt. at which point, the Mac stops transferring ALL the other files.
I figured, OK, i'll just transfer the other folders individually and then deal with this folder later. so I do that, and once I get to the offending folder, I try to transfer just that one folder into the drive. no good; I get the operation message again. I decide to just transfer the contents of the folder, rather than the folder itself. No good, I just get the operation message about one of the folders within the main folder.
anyone know the cause, or at least a fix?

If you've installed a system modification called "TotalFinder," remove it according to the developer's instructions after backing up all data. Log out, log back in, and try again.
Otherwise, open the Info dialog on both the source and the destination volumes. What is the Format of each? For example, it might be "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)".

Smart folder in iphoto to burn folder on desktop

Hi.
I set up a smart folder in IPHOTO (collecting all photo's taken on a vacation) and have set up a burn folder on the desktop.
I can't figure out how to get the smart folder to the burn folder. It won't move from within Iphoto or via the finder.
Is what I want to do possible in Tiger and Iphoto?
I have a new Macbook.
thanks in advance.

If by :burn to the desktop: you mean copy, then no. You have to either select all and drag to a folder on the desktop or use the File->Export->File Export menu route.
If you want to burn directly to a disk with those images then click on the smart album and use the File->Export->File Export menu route but this time selecting the blank mounted disk on the desktop as the final destination.
Do you Twango?

Commenting via iPod in iTunes store: lost text if nickname already taken

I'd like to report a bug that really bugs me. I'll also send this to some Apple support address but would like to inform the community as well. Also to see if I'm the only one or if I'm doing sth wrong.
On my iPod Touch 3G (3.1.3, Darn!), when I want to comment on or rate an app or a podcast in the iTunes store, after logging in I'm asked for an alias prior to the headline and text of the comment. I choose one, then I write my comment, slowly and painfully on the small touch screen keyboard. When I send it, the store tells me the nickname is already taken and ... deletes my comment!
WHY?
Could the store please check beforehand if the name is ok or at least not delete the comment? I have to rewrite the whole thing and try another name.
Is this a bug or am I doing sth wrong? Is anybody else annoyed by this?

Well,
A Jason from the Apple support has answered my mail. It's obviously not a bug but sth that could be enhanced in future versions of the store/ iTunes.
I wonder why nobody else has so far had this problem.

TA24563 Where is the burn folder

Hello. I found a tutorial on the web saying how to burn a dvd from Aperture. It said to export to the burn folder on the desktop. I don't see any burn folder on the desktop. I'm using OSX 10.6.8.
Thank you.

In the Finder go to File->New Burn Folder
create the Burn Folder and name it what you like. Then when you export from Aperture select this folder as the destination. Once done exporting go back to Finder and burn the folder to disk.

Burn Folder Problems

Hi,
In the past whenever I created a new burn folder it was automatically labeled "Burn Folder". Starting today it is automatically labeled "Burn Folder.fpbf" Even when I change the name, the new name still displays the extension ".fpbf" Why?
When I attempt to burn I get a message of "Error Code 0x8002006D"
I've tried the "Finder force quit fix" which worked in the past with similar error codes, but now the problem remains.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi Troy,
I think I'm OK for now. Somehow, while mucking around, I must have checked the "Show all file extensions" box in the Finder Prefs. Evidently this overrides the Get Info "Hide extension".
As for burning errors, I once again tried a force quit of the Finder and I'm back to being able to burn. Who knows?!? A bit bizarre, but things seem OK now. Thanks for your response and the link.
Cheers,
Dan

The local device name is already in use - Mapped Drive

I am having an issue with users losing their mapped drives to a Server 2012 box when they come into work the next day. The error message is "The local device name is already in use".
Autodisconnect has been disabled on both the server and workstations as per Microsoft KB articles, and the only way to correct the issue is a re-boot of the workstation.
I doubt it is the workstations that are the issue as drives mapped to Server 2008r2 do not experience this issue.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
>>I am having an issue with users losing their mapped drives to a Server 2012 box when they come into work the next day. The error message is "The local device name is already in use".
To tackle the issue, we can try to remove the existing network mapping, and then create a new network mapping for the share.
In addition, although the following KB applies to Window XP, it focuses on the similar issue and can be referred to as reference.
You may receive the "The local device name is already in use" error message when you try to restore a network mapping connection to a shared network folder on a Windows XP-based client
