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!

  • Mass renaming of bookmarks

    Well I have a PDF document that a colleague sent me, and for whatever reason, the bookmarks are all in one group. That's no problem for me, except that they have random numbers as their names. This is not useful at all when quickly trying to find one of the pages, since it is about 1300 pages long.
    Normally, I would go about the painstaking effort of renaming individual pages, but as I just stated, it is 1300 pages long. Now all I need is basically to name them "1", "2", "3", etc. but I have no idea how.
    Any advice is appreciated.

    With Reader you cannot change the pdf. Only Acrobat Standard or higher
    can do that.

  • How can I rename a bookmark or bookmark folder

    I don't need to ask this question any more because I found the answer. But I couldn't comment on the answer without registering. And I couldn't register without asking a question. That seems like an unnecessarily long-winded way to register. If you want to see my comments find other threads on this topic. If you (or I) can't find other threads then my suggestion to rename is:
    1. Click View/sidebar/ then select bookmarks. All your bookmarks will then be permanently displayed in a sidebar.
    2. Find the bookmark or folder you want to rename
    3. Right click and select "PROPERTIES"
    4. Type new name over the existing name
    5. Click on "save"

    Hi Gordon50501,
    You would have to manage the bookmark folders on a Desktop computer. [[How do I set up Firefox Sync?]] would allow you to do this.
    You can remove individual bookmarks by tap an holding on one of the bookmarks and selecting "Remove"

  • 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.

  • In Mail on macbook pro. unable to rename the mailboxes because the "rename mailbox" option is not highlighted

    in Mail on macbook pro. unable to rename the mailboxes because the "rename mailbox" option is not highlighted.
    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.

  • 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 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.

  • Why can't I rename a bookmark that is on my list?

    The question says it all.

    What happens if you right click that bookmark in the sidebar and change the name via the Properties?
    Did you also try to rename that bookmark via the details pane at the bottom right in the Bookmarks Manager?

  • ORA-20079:  WM internal error [unable to rename table]

    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.

  • How to rename long bookmark in iOS?

    How can I rename long bookmark in iOS? There's no possibility to place the cursor to the beginning of a longer URL bookmark.

    If you touch anywhere in the name or URL of a long bookmark you can drag the cursor to the left. When you get to the left of the text field the text will begin scrolling until the beginning is reached.
