Unable to Rename a Playlist

So this has been a problem through a few versions of iTunes. I've always assumed this would be fixed through enough updates and now I give up.
I'm unable to rename any playlists in iTunes. And I do mean I'm actually unable to. Hitting F2 to rename a playlist doesn't work. Right-clicking the playlist and selecting rename doesn't work. Assume all methods within iTunes are unable to rename a playlist. It seems any actual attempt to rename it just opens up a blank iTunes window with no data in it. Just empty window that can only be closed. It's as if I was getting an error message but no actual message in it.
This is getting tiresome. I've googled enough to see that no one else has this issue. So, my question is what would break the renaming system on playlists. Keep in mind, I'm able to rename and change the information on any song in my library. But if I want to rename a playlist? Good luck.

In which case I suggest you uninstall iTunes and reinstall it.
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

Download Helper, even with paid converter upgrade, gives "Invalid Capture File" errors and will not record audio, with "File Creation Error - Unable to rename/copy audio file" Error.

Download Helper Screen Capture worked to capture video if the default "no audio" option is active. But, no audio. The "speakers" or "microphone" audio options are confusing....the audio to be captured is from the video, so what do you choose? With either "speakers" or "microphone" selected, the captured file has poor audio and no video. Re-capture efforts (speakers) get "Invalid capture file error" and "File Creation error- Unable to rename/copy audio file"
The paid upgrade of "Converter" doesn't work.
Instructive documentation - not very good.
Suggestions - Need time delay between initiation of "Record" and starting the video to be recorded.
Could use timer tracking of the record process.
Are there operating system limitations? (Have Windows XP Pro)

That is an issue for the developer of that Download Helper.

Thanks Jim...........

Thank you SO much. Everything I had tried just expanded the size of each columns. Finding that slender area to the right of the message columns was tricky, but it worked. Wish that was more intuitive.
Thanks again.

Unable to load movie playlist?

I'm really starting to regret Upgrading to Director 11. I
didn't have any of these issues going from MX to MX 2004. All I'm
trying to do is make a simple projector work on a Mac and it's one
issue after another. Not to mention all this after updating a whole
boat load of Xtras 11 requires.
The new one is this;
Unable to load movie playlist. Does the INI file exsist? It
must contain a section '(Movies)' with an entry
'Movies01=pathname.dir'.
I've already read a couple of other forum post with the same
error message going on with others but can't find certain files
required to make the fix like the 'Projec32.skl',
and I don't know how to read, let alone make an .INI file.
I'll mention I got this error after updating to Shockwave 11
EVEN though I was not publishing a Shockwave movie.
I know I just need to include a certain file on my CD when I
burn one because all works great on the desk top, but I'm throwing
darts trying to figure out what the CD burn is missing.
So to make a long story short does anyone know what I might
be missing?
I'm new to making director movies for the Mac, and even using
a Mac so I might need it spelled out a little more for being a
novice.
Thanks in advance. :o)>
PS I tried making a Mac Projector from my PC with no good
results either.

This is a very frustrating problem. I have run into it as well, but can't tell you exactly how I solved it, its been a while since I've seen it. It does have something to do with the length of the path to your projector when its published. I would suggest moving your movie as close as possible to the root of the drive, you may even want to restart to ensure all the internal variables have been reset and then republish the movie.
If you publish the movie from your authoring location and then copy the projector to a cd or the desktop the path length seems to be built into the projector at publishing. So that does not solve the problem. It is fairly easy to get a long path name - c:/mylocaldrive/documents and settings/yourusername/yourprojectsfolder/yourprojectname.dir has a path name length of 100 characters! I realize you are on a mac, but the same rules apply.
I also might be mistaken with the maximum path length. Perhaps its 128 characters?
Has anyone else run into this error?

I am unable to drag any playlists to my ipod- the circle with red line through it shows up- what is up ?

I am unable to drag any playlists to my ipod- the circle with red line through it shows up and precludes it from being accepted- what is up ?

Though I have doubts for success, you might try a SMC reset. It can do no harm. Otherwise, barring suggestions from others, the Apple Store or qualified repair facility is the last option.

I am unable to transfer my playlist to my Ipod in the new version of Itunes.

Since downloading the new Itunes I am unable to transfer my playlist to my Ipod.
I have tried dragging individual tracks but it will not let me load anything.
The symbol for my Ipod is no longer in the left column of my screen but at the top right hand corner.
Can you help please.

I also found that my previously paired 1st Gen Apple TV did not show up at all in itunes, after updating to version 11.
I basically resolved this by re-pairing it.
There may be less drastic steps that can be taken? But I found removing and then re-adding the pairing did the trick.
A bit arduous I suppose... effectively a minor reset of sorts... but my resolution steps were:
1) Removing the itunes sync account (at top) from the Settings->Computers screen on the 1st Gen Apple TV.
This took a while, and some faith, as it then removed all synched content from the Apple TV, which took several minutes... and I wasn't convinced I'd be able to then restore the sync.
2) After that process completed, I then clicked the option to add (re-add) the itunes sync account, on the Apple TV, noted the new code, went back to itunes (11.0.5), found the now unpaired Apple TV (that was now showing up again) in the left hand "Devices" list, and clicked "Setup", and then entered the new pairing code.
This let me set up synching again (although I sync the majority of my library content, in fact I set it up with the "Custom Sync" option) ...and so far, so good. It is now synching my purchases from the Apple TV into itunes, and vice versa, as it was before.
Hope this info helps someone else with a 1st Gen Apple TV...

Error: Mail was unable to rename ....

I have a few mailboxes in On My Mac that contain a couple of levels of subfolders. I'm not having any trouble accessing messages in these mailboxes, but when I try to move or rename some of these folders I get an error message that says I'm unable to rename the mailbox. If I try to rename "Mailboxname" to "OtherName", for instance, I get the message:
Error: Mail was unable to rename "~Library/Mail/Mailboxes/Personal/Saved Mail/Archive/Mailboxname
While the error dialog is present, the display name of the folder in the sidebar changes to:
Mailbox "OtherName" does not exist
When I dismiss the error, the mailbox name reverts to Mailboxname.
Another oddity, sometimes, I'm unable to delete existing mailbox. I right click on them, select Delete Mailbox, confirm the deletion when prompted, and the mailbox is still there.
Any suggestions for how I can address this?
I've tried rebuilding the mailboxes that can't be renamed, and I've run the vacuum command in Terminal, but nothing seems to resolve the issue.

My guess is that Folder 1 was seen as a white folder Icon in the Sidebar, before and after subfolder 1 went missing. As a white folder, Mail could see the items apparently still contained within it. Recreating the subfolder somehow allowed the display of content from the Messages folder, that apparently survived the previous delete operation. We would have been able to go into the Finder and see this, I think, but I also think you are very lucky.

Unable to rename objects

In the OMWB, I am unable to rename objects. For example, in the Source Model under the Views folder, I have a view whose name is 100 characters long. I want to rename it to a 30 character name (something meaningful and not system generated.) The on-line help says to use the menu to click on Object > Rename, but that is grayed-out. The only available options are delete and parse. Both of those work, by the way.
I just downloaded and installed OMWB last Thursday, so this is latest version of software. I also got the SQL Server 2000 plug-in, and it's installed correctly because I have been successful at migrating SQL Server 2000 to Oracle 10g.

Hi Mark,
You are quiet correct. The OMWB does not allow you to rename schema objects in the Source Model. The only objects which can be renamed manually are tablespaces and users in the Oracle Model.
The workaround is to rename the view inside the Oracle Model PL/SQL editor. Then your view with get generated with the choosen name.
I have found the following in the OMWB help
"You can customize the Oracle Model by: Creating, deleting, and renaming objects "
This will be logged as a bug as not all objects can be renamed. Could you provide a link to the on-line help document which states "click on Object > Rename" as I am having difficulty finding it, and I will add this to the bug report.
Regards,
Dermot.

Unable to rename white folders

I'm unable to rename the white folders of an IMAP account.
I can rename white folders "On My Mac" and I can rename all blue folders. I just can't rename the white folders of an IMAP account.
I get the following error:
Error
The IMAP command "RENAME" (to new folder name) failed with server error: Mailbox does not exist.
Any ideas?

Create new folder with correct name, move contents from old folder into new folder and delete old folder.

Unable to rename folders and files on SharePoint mapped drive.

I just installed a fresh copy of Windows 7 and have mapped a drive to my SharePoint "Shared Documents" folder. I am able to open, save, and delete files and folders. However, I am unable to rename files and folders. No matter how long of
short of a name I use I get the following error:
"The file name you specified is not valid or too long. Specify a different file name."
I've mapped the "S" drive to http://hostname.domain.com/Shared Documents/
I am a SharePoint Admin, and have confirmed that if I do not have this problem if I log into SharePoint with IE. I have also confirmed that others are not experiencing this issue. Also, this issue did not exist on my previous installation of Windows
7. Therefore I assume this is a config issue.
Also, in "My Computer" it shows the mapped SharePoint drive as a "FAT" filesystem.

Did some more testing. From my mapped drive, I can create new folders and files, and delete them. I created a folder in Windows Explorer, when I tried to give a name it gave me the above error and saved the folder as "New Folder". No matter when
I try, I cannot rename this folder unless I log into the SharePoint interface.
Next, I tried this from the command line. I moved to my S drive, and did a "mkdir test" and was able to create a folder named test. Next I tried to "rename test testing" and received the following error:
The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.
The full path is S:\test. If I do a "mkdir testing" I am able to create the folder. If I try to rename the folder in Explorer, it gives me the "file name not valid or too long". I'm obviously well under the 260 character limit, so there
has to be something wrong with the fiel name, or drive mapping.
Also, when I "dir" the S drive it tells me the drive has no label. "Volume in drive S has no label."
I'm having the same issue with files. I can create a file, modify it, delete it, but can't rename it.

Hi,
You need to determine the original error that is being generated by oracle. This can be done by attempting to rename the table yourself. For example:
SQL> alter table TestTable rename to RenamedTable ;
That will give you a better understanding as to why Workspace Manager is unable to rename the table. Also, what version of the database and workspace manager are you using ?
If the direct rename succeeds while enableversioning continues to fail, then you would need to file a TAR on this.

Unable to rename copied UIMap.uitest file

Hi
I have four coded UI projects in single solution. One of the project contains UIMap.uitest file and I wanted to copy that file to other three projects and rename it. It is allowing to copy but unable to rename file. The reason behind
this copy lot of controls added in that file and I wanted to divide them as per the each requirement of project.
Tried this http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff398056.aspx but didnt help the way I want this is leading to add all controls again. :(
Please suggest.
Regards, Firoj Awate

Hi Firoj,
You are right, we couldn't rename the test files' name in solution explorer window if we record a test with the default name like UIMap.uitest.
But I could provide a workaround for it. Like the following screen shot I create two test project 3 and project 4, I will change the project 3’s test files’ name and then add it to project 4.
We couldn’t change the name in solution explorer window, but we could change it in project folder, rename them like the following screen shot.
And then right click project 4->add existing items, add the three files to the project 4. We would get the result like the following screen shot, but we found that it has the wrong format like A and B.
If we want to change it, we need to edit the .proj file, right click project 4->unload project, and then modify/edit the project file.
The previous format:
<ItemGroup>
<Compile Include="CodedUITest1.cs" />
<Compile Include="Properties\AssemblyInfo.cs" />
<Compile Include="UIMap.cs">
<DependentUpon>UIMap.uitest</DependentUpon>
</Compile>
<Compile Include="UIMap.Designer.cs">
<DependentUpon>UIMap.uitest</DependentUpon>
</Compile>
<Compile Include="UIMap1.cs" />
<Compile Include="UIMap1.Designer.cs" />
</ItemGroup>
<ItemGroup>
<None Include="UIMap.uitest" />
<None Include="UIMap1.uitest" />
</ItemGroup>
The new format:
<ItemGroup>
<Compile Include="CodedUITest1.cs" />
<Compile Include="Properties\AssemblyInfo.cs" />
<Compile Include="UIMap.cs">
<DependentUpon>UIMap.uitest</DependentUpon>
</Compile>
<Compile Include="UIMap.Designer.cs">
<DependentUpon>UIMap.uitest</DependentUpon>
</Compile>
<Compile Include="UIMap1.cs">
<DependentUpon>UIMap1.uitest</DependentUpon>
</Compile>
<Compile Include="UIMap1.Designer.cs">
<DependentUpon>UIMap1.uitest</DependentUpon>
</Compile>
</ItemGroup>
<ItemGroup>
<None Include="UIMap.uitest" />
<None Include="UIMap1.uitest" />
</ItemGroup>
Reload the project, you would get it like the following screen shot.

Hi,
Most of the time error occurs on Windows plateform.
The main reason behind this is nesting of the directories.
Also the long directory names causes this problem.
Thus try to keep the directory name small and the try to nest the directories to store the jsp's
I have faced same problem when i used to work on Tomcat. But this problem is never occurd on Resin.
Well try these options. This may help u...
Kind regards

Unable to rename individual bookmarks

For a month or longer now, I have been unable to rename individual bookmarks. I used to be able to do this so that I could shorten long website titles. But I have not been able to do so recently. Any help would be very much appreciated!

Thank you both for the suggestions. My apologies for not explaining the process. I have tried renaming individual bookmarks both by opening "Show All Bookmarks," locating the specific bookmark, and entering the desired name under "Name" (which is located right above "Location"). I have also, as suggested above, sought to rename the bookmark through the window that opens when the Bookmark star is clicked.
I just added a new folder to my bookmarks, and the problem applies to the folder as well. In fact, Firefox seemed to freeze after I added the folder when I tried to assign it a name. I restarted Firefox, the new folder was still there, and I still was unable to rename it from "New Folder."
Thank you for trying to help!
