Unable to rename partition

I wanted to change the name of a Time Capsule and also the partition on it.
I successfully changed the name of the base using Airport Utility (easy). However, I cannot figure out how to change the partition name. I used the mv function in Terminal and it appeared to work successfully, but when I rebooted my machine and reconnected to the Time Capsule, the partition reverted to its old name.
I cannot change the name of the partition in Finder, as would be able to do with other items.
What am I doing wrong?

LMAO people in here are so rude and hold the highest authority when they don't even have a clue as to what they are talking about. I recently changed mine from Terabyte to 2TB.
You need the old version of AirPort Utlity 5.5.3 - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1390
Click Manual Setup on your Time Capsule > Disks > Disks(tab) > Click on the current name under Time Capsule Disk > Then to the right type new name > Click Update

Unable to Rename Partitioned Drives

Hello,
We have a Power Mac partitioned into 15 drives for use by our students. A few days ago the drives randomly started demanding an administrative password to change the name of each drive.
I have had this problem before with other Macs in our office. I have solved that problem by changing the ownerships & permissions of each drive. And when all else failed, I created a new administrator for the computer and the problem went away.
I tried both of these things on our Power Mac, yet the problem persists.
Any advice?

I have gone through the ownerships & permissions and tried several different combinations of having the owner "locked/unlocked" and the "Ignore ownership of this volume" selected or de-selected. I get the same results regardless of these changes.
Strangely, EVERY TIME I restart the computer, I am able to once again re-name the volumes. But once the computer goes into sleep mode, the problem arises again.

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 format partition, disk may be damaged

I was experiencing a problem with my Windows XP installation on Bootcamp. The Windows side kept restarting, and I could not find the reason, so I formatted with the Windows XP disc and tried to re-install it, but it didn't work. I forget the exact error as to why. So I went back to the Mac side and re-formatted the partition sing Bootcamp, and now when I try to re-install the Windows XP on the Bootcamp partition, I get the error:
Unable to format partition, disk may be damaged
What can I do? I don't understand, because this disk has worked before and I am on the mac side right now, so the actual disk does not appear to be damaged. What can I do?

Do a full format as it will check for errors and mark bad clusters if it finds any (full format = quick + chkdsk /x ), but only create one OS partition e.g like 30GB or something , this will be plenty enough for the os ,instead of the whole drive . Will save you time .
Wait with partitioning the rest of the drive as an extra partition until the OS is installed using diskmanagement .
Also make sure sata-dma is enabled in bios .

Unable to create partition while installing windows 7 on MacBook Pro

Have new MacBook Pro (bought 5/30/14) has 16GB ram and 500GB HD. Trying to install new copy of Windows7 Home Premium. Have USB drive for Windows drivers. Get through Boot Camp OK and when windows installation begins and selecting BootCamp partition the screen says unable to find partition. HELP!
MacBook is running OS X 10.9.3 (13D65)

find the boot camp instructions, at that point where you are stuck, you are supposed to manually click the bootcamp labeled partition and reformat it via the advanced/format button below then it will continue
unrelated, is your usb device usb2 only? if not, you might have an issue where your kb/trackpad do not work once windows is installed. do you have a usb kb and mouse you can use?

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!
