Printing file names of specified folder
I feel like this is an incredibly simple question, so I'm a little embarassed to ask, but I've never used automator before. How do I set it up to print just the file names inside a specified folder?
If you're saving this as a Plug-in for the Finder, then the steps would be Get Folder Contents >New Text File > Print Finder Items. There's a more in-depth tutorial here that uses a slightly different method (new text document) which doesn't print automatically.

I can't synch my iPod classic. "A duplicate file name was specified." I tried on two different computers on which it had previously worked fine.
Try deleting the iPod Photo Cache from the nominated folder that you have set up to sync photos to the devices.

How to set file name and destination folder without user interaction
how can I set the file name and destination folder to generate a pdf file like "c:\myfolder\document.pdf" in this folder automatically.
Is there a tag in .joboptions ?
Goal: User click print button. In the background a pdf will be generated in e.g. "C:\myfolder\document.pdf".
that`s it.
I know that the query dialog for save as can be turned off. But the file name depends on the application.
Thanks for your help.

Itunes Version 10.5.3.3
Using Iphone 4 on Windows 7 Proffesional PC.
Keep getting "The Itunes Library file cannot be saved. A duplicate file name was specified" when trying to sync Itunes with Iphone.
Have tried the following steps;
first you have to locate your last library file, you can do this by clicking Edit-preferences-advanced. it will show you the itunes media folder location. then close Itunes
open your folder and locate the last library (libraries are saved with date names, find the most recent one or the one that was last modified).
change the name of the library to today´s date following the format it already has. you will have to change the name for libraries: .itl, .xml, genius and extras.
once you have changed the name to today´s date on the 4 libraries you will have to delete all other libraries existing on the same folder or on a folder named "previous itunes libraries". it is also recommended to delete the itunes "preferences file" .dat (usually 1kb) and the "sentinel" file.
so, you will have on your itunes media folder only 4 libraries: .itl .xml genius and extras.
the next step is to click the itunes icon holding the "shift" key . itunes will ask you to either "quit, choose library or create library" click on choose library. then locate the library you just renamed with today´s date and extension .itl
done, itunes will open with the last saved version of your library. keep in mind that some changes or songs will not be present if you added any while getting the error "itunes cannot save the library file. a duplicate name has been specified" just locate the songs and add them again, if you have the option "copy files to itunes media folder when adding to library" checked. then go to file-add folder or file-and locate the songs missing on the itunes media folder.itunes saves the files on the hard drive but does not save the changes on the library.
No luck.

"A duplicate file name was specified" While trying to sync?
I've literally been trying to make iTunes work with my new iPhone 5c for the past 3 hours, and I'm fed up. Everytime I start up iTunes, it says "A Duplicate file name was specified". I'm unable to do anything because everytime I try to sync, it gives me that error message. I also can't restore my iPhone because I purchased apps and it says if I restore my iPhone, the apps haven't been added to my library. It also won't let me authorize my account as it just gives me an error. Please help.

Whenever I plug my ipod classic in to itunes I receive the following message:
The ipod "ipod name" cannot be synched. A duplicate file name was specified
I have tried the following:
Renaming the ipod
Running Itunes as an Administrator with the UAC in windows 7 turned to the lowest level
Refreshing device manager to scan for hardware changes
Restoring the ipod from Itunes
Resetting the ipod itslef (holding down the menu an dcenter buttons)
All of the above of course did not work. I did notice that when I would click ok on the "cannot be synched" message, Itunes would synch the ipod and I would see songs and podcasts on my ipod but they would not play at all.
Someone please help. Again, my OS is Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit. I have also tried this on my Windows 7 Professional 32 bit system with the same results.

Hi could anyone help me out? my iphone 3gs keeps restarting itself every two minutes which i think is some kind of software issue,now there are a number of things i have done starting with putting in a new battery.when i charge the phone it resets itself every two minutes or so and the battery indicator stays at 4% so i decided to restore the phone on itunes (which is the latest edition) and when i connect my phone which i have put into recovery mode using the buttons, i get an error message saying :- the iphone software update server could not be contacted.a duplicate file name was specified. i have tried re-installing i tunes and that doesn't solve the issue and i have trawled through the program files to see if i could spot the duplicate but without success ,has anyone had the same issue and resolved it?

Error "The IPod cannot be synched. A duplicate file name was specified"
When I drag a song from my ITunes library to my Nano, an error pops up that says "The IPod cannot be synched. A duplicate file name was specified." I've read on other boards that I should delete the IToner bundle, but there is no IToner bundle in ITunes plug ins, just a Quartz Composer Visualizer. ANy suggestions on how to keep the error message from popping up every time I add a song?

Drag the song from Library to the playlist window then drag it to Devices instead of directly from the Library. -

Hi stelincs,
You should be able to change the name of your iPod classic in the iTunes application. Here's how:
Change the name of your iPhone, iPad, or iPod - Apple Support
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201997
Use your computer
Connect your device and open iTunes.
Click the Device button in the upper right corner. (If viewing the iTunes Store, click the Library button in the upper-right corner first.) If you don't see your device, choose Hide Sidebar from the View menu.
Next to the picture of your device, double-click the name of your device.
Type the new name for your device and press Return on the keyboard.
Sync the device (press Sync in the bottom right corner of the screen).
