Unable to rename place names

hope someone can help here, I have just imported a bunch of photos into iPhoto 11 which were pre-geotagged and now after importing iPhoto will not rename the place names from.
I have some pics taken in an old house which I tagged, the pin says england so I rename the place hit return it just goes back to England.  I tried typing the place name again and this time clicked (renaming current place) and still the same, I checked manage my places but I only currently have one which has been auto added into there so I cant even rename the place name there either.
anyone able to help?

I have a similar problem with iPhoto '11 (9.2.1). According to the help files, one is supposed to be able to highlight a photo, open the info panel and assign a place by typing in a place name or set of coordinates. It does not work as advertised.
Often I will want to drop a pin on a location that is not associated with a known street address (a spot on a hiking trail for example), or I will want to edit the location and lable for a misplaced pin. Unfortunately, iPhoto '11 has a serious bug that prevents one from editing pin positions and location lables. And when one clicks on a misplaced or mislabled pin, instead of the pin head turning yellow and revealing a lable editing field, the pin head remains red and offers no opportunity to edit the lable.
Even the Geniuses I've consultted at the Apple Store are stumped by this. Unfortunately, Apple HQ is not very forthcoming about acknowledging bugs. Will this bug get fixed, who knows? It could be they won't throw any resources at the problem until the next major revision of the software. When will that be? Who knows? Apple's not talking about it.
Very frustrating for a user, isn't it.

  • Unable to rename calendar/name new calendar "Personal"

    Hello.
    I have a calendar that I'd like to rename to "Personal". I'm unable to do it. I can rename calendars to anything else, and I can create new calendars. But the name "Personal" seems to be reserved. Is this by design? is there something I can do to override this?
    Thanks.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Close iWeb, delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple. iWeb.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder, relaunch iWeb and try again. Also repair disk permissions if you haven't done so already.

  • Unable to rename document name on ItemAdded event programmatically

    Hi,
    I have developed a Event Receiver on Item Added event basically to update the document name after document gets uploaded to SharePoint Library.
    I have developed below code but its getting failed at on Item.Update(); function call. Referred this
    MSDN Blog.
    public override void ItemAdded(SPItemEventProperties properties)
               base.ItemAdded(properties);
               try
                   SPListItem item = properties.ListItem;
                   string draftAuthor = item["Author"].ToString();
                   int index = draftAuthor.IndexOf("#");
                   string finalAuthor = draftAuthor.Substring(index+1, draftAuthor.Length-index-1);
                   updatedTitle = "My Dashboard- "+  finalAuthor;
                   item.File.CheckOut();

    Please suggest me how can I make this piece of code work.
    Thanks !!!

    Hi,
    We should use the MoveTo method to rename the file name. The following code snippets for your reference.
    base.ItemAdded(properties);
    properties.ListItem["Title"] = properties.ListItem.File.Name;
    properties.ListItem.Update();
    SPFile file = properties.ListItem.File;
    // Get the extension of the file. We need that later.
    string spfileExt = new FileInfo(file.Name).Extension;
    // Rename the file to the list item's ID and use the file extension to keep
    // that part of it intact.
    file.MoveTo(properties.ListItem.ParentList.RootFolder.Url +
    "/" + properties.ListItem["ID"] + spfileExt);
    // Commit the move.
    file.Update();
    Thanks & Regards,

  • 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.

  • Place names in elements 12

    How can I set my own place names/categories ?  Can I turn off the map option ?

    No. You cannot rename a location marked on Map. The name that appears will be the same as it appears on map.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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.
