Volume's name changing after restart

Hi
I have two volumes on my system. Since I have started using Tiger, when I restart the computer every time one of the volumes is mounted with a different name. I have some internal links, pointing to things in this particular volume and when the name got changed, it's all lost... Can you give me some hints how to solve the problem? The settings seems to be OK and under Panther I didn't have this problem... Thank you!

The ".DS_Store" keeps information about how a folder is displayed in the Finder, and since it belongs to 501, you ought to get rid of it. Then try changing the name. I'm not convinced this is going to work, but you should do it anyway.
While you're at it you might as well get rid of "Desktop DB" and "Desktop DF" unless you use OS 9 on that disk:
cd /Volumes/Daten/
sudo rm .DS_Store "Desktop DB" "Desktop DF"The quotes are necessary because of the space in the filenames. You will be prompted for your password after the second command. This is not echoed for security reasons: just type it and press return.
If you still can't make the name change stick, post back with the new name you would like, and we'll see if it can be done from the Terminal.

The DVD's name changed after it burned

Why does the DVD's name change after it's burned? I pop it in to play and the title becomes the last word of what I originally type in the Project Info? And it's under 27 characters. I don't know why it changed...

I have this same issue and I don't get it!
I just got done burning a DVD for a friend of the family who died - a slideshow of her life that was supposed to be played at the funeral. The funeral home called 10 minutes before the ceremony and told me that it didn't work in their player! (I've had this problem before with other DVDs I've made using iDVD. What's going on?
I always check the DVDs in my own home player first, and they work just fine - and our home player is not anything fancy.
Anyone have any advice? This is unacceptable! iDVD is not doing what it is advertised as being able to do!!!
Thanks for any help

Batch rename, name changes after frame 99

Hi, I put a folder into bridge to do a batch rename and called the text MILAN/SYRIA and gave for first number 00.
After frame 99 the name changed to a weird Adobe Bridge Batch Rename Temp 10037
Which you can see better in the RAW windows, the 99 and the following one.
Photoshop doesn't like to open a name like that, can't blame her.
of course I strongly suppose that I should have given 3 digits in Batch rename, and l am looking for your confirmation, and while I am here
why was my card full at 0485 pictures when a folder I think takes as many as 9999, how do you finish a folder if your card is full?
i suppose you change card and you keep going with the same folder? Sorry about the camera question, couldn't keep it, thanks dona

no,no, i started with 00 two digits only, batch rename changed to 623 after i put the folder back in just in order to take the screenshot, i dont know why but that always happens if i put the folder back in after usage, but i do know for life now that if I am going to take over 100 shots, which is most of the time, i should start with 001 or 000.
See, this is the first number that was given to the first file, 01,WHICH actually became 00, i don't have it here.
So it rest to know where is "Preserve file name " in current metadata, and would that make it possible to revert to the original CR2 number?
Why not to change name straight from the new name? thanks

Window size always changes after restart in 10.9.2. How can I fix it- as in older OS-Versions?

Hi,
I'm using OSX for a long time. Now I bought a new MBA 10' with Mavericks 10.9.2. I'm really tired about ever changing window sizes after restarting my MBA, espacialy the sidebar is skipping to a wider size, then the window, I used before turning the mac of. No window opens, in exact that size I used before. Of course, I used to fix it, but never menaged to do so.
Have you any idea to solve my problem?

Do you uncheck the "Reopen windows when logging back in?" box? If so, does the issue occur when you leave the box checked?
That might be the culprit.
I hope I solved your question.

HBA controller name changes after upgrading to solaris 11.2 from solaris 11.1

we have upgraded OS on control domain from Sol 11.1 to Sol 11.2 . After upgrade controller name of HBAs and NPIV wwns changed ( like if it is c2 prior to upgrade , post upgrade controller name changes to c8). Due to this we have to redo virtual disk mapping for all ldoms hosted on this machine. . Would it be possible to preserve the HBA controller names across OS versions ? we even observed this issue while upgrading SRU of solaris 11.2 system. We have to upgrade around 20 systems to solaris 11.2 and with this issue upgrade seems to be a tedious task. Any idea if there is any fix or workaround for it ?

Are your disks only connected to one single HBA?
We use MPXIO to MultiPath over Multiple HBAs. Controller never changed here for the MPXIO devices.
Best regards,
Marcel

Input sources change after restart

Hello!
I changed my hard disk, and after reinstalling the system, I noticed that after restart the input source changes to US layout, when my and computer is set to Spanish ISO. I cloned my disk using SuperDuper! and everything went fine.
What can I do so the computer starts already in Spanish ISO, not US keyboard layout?
It is an iMac Late 2009, with Fusion Drive and 12 GB memory running Mavericks 10.9.5

I don't know how to fix it, but it's not just you. I've been seeing it for a couple weeks on a fresh install of Yosemite from a wiped SSD.
A little extra info, from my situation: when I installed Yosemite I incorrectly selected "US Extended" as the input source to use. Once installed I corrected it to the regular US keyboard, and added my usual Japanese input source. When I restart, both of those disappear and it reverts to US Extended.
So it's apparently storing the input source used during OS installation somewhere, and hauling that out when I restart. Why and where would it do that, I wonder?

Computer name change after migration

I did a software migration from my macbook to my new iMac. Everything went great except the migration named the new iMac "macbook", the name I used on the macbook. I went to system pref. and did the name change to iMac24 and that works fine for sharing on the local network. However, on the Finder the name of the new computer at Home is still "Macbook", the migrated name. Kinda confusing when looking at the Finder pane, two Macbooks show up, one under shared and one under places.
Also tried to change the name of the Home at the Mac HD but was told couldn't be done.
Is there anyway to change the name of the Home file or am I stuck with Macbook as the name for my iMac?

The Home name I presume is your "short" name.
You can change the short name in Accounts by unlocking the padlock and right-clicking the Account and selecting Advanced Options.
Pleased note the Warning and the required reboot.
I suggest being sure your backup is up-to-date before changing the short name.

Name change after imaging

I am new to Mac OS X Server and I'm looking for a point in the right direction. I have a lab of I-Macs which I am wanting to image. Is there a way to automatically change the name of the computer based on the MAC address?
Thank you

Firefox will not open and my profile name changes, after I creat a new profile it works until I try to open again

Firefox version 16.0.2 was working I have used FF for years. A few days ago it started to run very slow opening web sites. Then this morning when I tried to open it I saw a progress bar that looked like the kind I see after an update has been applied but FF never opened.
I rebooted my windows 7 64 bit and tried again, nothing FF would not open and I got no error message.
So I opened the profile manager and only found a default profile not the one I created last year with my name. I created a new profile and browsed to my old profile folder. FF opened and ran fine until I closed it and later tried to open it again then I kept getting an error box telling me that FF had crashed and asked if I wanted to send a report and restart, I did but no good it still would not open.
I ran the profile manager again and found my profile had changed name to a bunch of numbers. I delete that profile but kept the folder then made a new one and that worked. I shut it down again and once again I get the We're sorry error box.
By the way I had set the profile manager to open when FF loads and it is not opening so the problem is before it gets to that command.

First I already have my view set to show everything so that is not the problem.
But I just tried opening "Computer" from the start button then type in profiles.ini in the address bar and hit enter. The profile manager opened with my profile listed. I selected it and hit start firefox and it opened as it should.
I closed it again and tried to open it from the shortcut in my task bar and I got the Sorry window.
But then I tried to open it from the short cut you get when you press the start button and program list and it work!
I went back to my desk top and tried the short cut on the desk top and it worked.
So I deleted the short cut on the task bar and created a new one and it worked.
I rebooted the computer and tried again and the task bar shortcut works and has the right profile.
So it seems that the problem is that the short cut was corrupted and was causing the error that caused the program to fail to open.
I had no idea a shortcut could do that. In the past I have had short cut stop working but never do what this one did.
I still have no idea where the profiles.ini is.

Albums names changed after updating to iOS 5

I just updated my iPad2 to iOS5 and all my albums" changed to name like 100IMPRT in the "Events" folder
They were labeled as the date the pictures were taken
Could some one help me ?

I can confirm that this problem was introduced for me after upgrading to 5.1 again for a ported number.
The first symptom noticed was that other people receiving my iMessages noted that my messages showed up as new threads not as part of existing message threads. Checking "my number" confirmed that the number shown has reverted to the pre-porting number. Turning off/on iMessage no longer fixes this, neither does a phone restart.
Turning off iMessage at least means that others now see my text messages in the original conversation threads.
Please fix this. Preferably without needing to change sim cards.

Hostaname changed after restart of the application servers

Hi all,
We have an issue in our production systems and the system got
restarted , we have observed there was a change in Hostnames where
previously it was in "LOWER CASE" and after the restart all the apps
servers showing as in "UPPER CASE".
We have checked the profile parameters, hostfile in the windows all are
in lower case only.
Please suggest from where the SAP picks the hostname entry ?
We are on 4.6c any DNS issue caused the hostname entry to be changed?
We have restarted the servers lot of times and the issue occured this time only.
Thanks,
Subhash.G

Hi,
Only the apps servers having this issue, i have checked the profiles and SAPLOCALHOST defined in "lowe case" only.
We have outage last weekend and failover to another cluster node 2 , all the names of the apps servers are showing as lower case in SM51 again.
Not sure why the hostnames are changing ..
Thanks,
Subhash.G

IPod Touch name change after updating to 3.1.1

After upgrading from 3.0 to 3.0.1 itunes changed the name oftouch the touch. Why, and is there a way I can change it back?

I experienced the same bug. What is double irritating is that after restoring the name of the iPod, backup in iTunes was starting from scratch, invoking an entire fresh and very long backup of the iPod.
The 3.1.1 update process was for me the most bug-ridden update yet (and I'm updated from 3.x).

Could domain name change after Unity migration?

Hello everyone,
I will upgrade Unity3.1(6) to Unity 4.0(5) (Voice Mail only).Here is the main steps:
1. backup current Unity data
2. install Windows2K server w/Exchange 2000,Unity3.1(6) from scratch.(not replacing server hardware,
Windows2k server and Exchange 2000 server are located in the same server)
3. recover Unity data on new installed windows2000 w/Exchange 2000 server
4. Upgrading Unity3.1(6) to Unity 4.0(5)
I got a few questions here.
1. Should Domain name keep the same? ( If I need to change Domain name, is it applicable?)
2. Should I run Active Directory connetcor for recovering Exchange5.5 data?
Hope to share experience with you. Thanks for your reply.
Background:
Unity 3.1(6), Exchange5.5 installed on Windows2000 server A,
Users in WindowsNT 4.0 PDC server B,
After migrating:
Remove WindowsNT 4.0 PDC server B,
windows server A will be Domain Controller w/Exchange2000, Unity 4.0(5)
Howard

Hello,
I don't understand why you are going to rebuild the server, if you just want to upgrade to Unity 4.0 (I am assuming that you currently have W2K); you just need to:
- Do a Dirt backup
- Upgrade to Exchange 2K
- Do a Dirt backup
- Install the CUSPA and CUICA
Just follow the instructions on this link:

Server Name Changed after update

I'm new to SBS 2011 so I don't know much about it yet. I updated a server for a client and when the server retarted the name for the server that showed up in the Network had changed. It's now showing up as WIN-P0NIHSQCMU2. I tried restarting
from the last know good configuration and that didn't work. The biggest problem is because the name has changed no one can gain access to the server over the network. Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

Hi:
First, it might help the community to know what updates were applied and you see any errors in the logs that might be helpful. I would create an image of the system as it is now for possible future troubleshooting onto fresh media using such as acronis
or preferably shadow protect, both offering free trials of their product. Note that you want to do this from a bootable CD of their product created from their ISO.
Then, depending on what errors I see I would restore the entire system from backup or alternatively try just restoring a system state backup less than 60 days old, preferably either that existed just before the updates were applied.
Since we don't know what happened, I suggest to everyone on this forum that systems, particularly servers, be rebooted and the event logs examined before applying updates to check for errors that have already crept into the system.
