Why OS X Yosemite change primary volume name (core storage)

Hi to everyone,
I have several Macs. I like to make fresh installs. My experience tell me that fresh installs makes everything work better.
On my iMac, making the fresh install of OS X Yosemite don't change primary volume name (has a not HDD fusion). O my macbook pro retina (late 2013) OS X Yosemite change the primary volume name and equal to the partition name, that is, change it to a core storage disk. I could understand if it was a fusion disk, but in this case it is just an SSD of 256 GB. It is a bug of OS X Yosemite installer? If this shouldn't happen, anyone could tell how can I solve that, that is, make a fresh install on my macbook pro retina without change the primary volume name.
Thanks in advance.
Regards.

Safe boot your computer.
Turn off computer. Hold shift key. Turn on computer. Keep holding shift. Once progress bar starts moving let go. If you can then login and use your computer it is not the OS it is some other application installed on the computer that is causing the issue.

Can I change TimeMachine volume name for local snapshots?

Hi all,
I had a problem with my hard drive and after restoring the volume, where TimeMachine stores local snapshots, has a strange name (some autogenerated text). Is it possible to specify the volume name explicitly?
Thank you
Regards
Marcel

I think so, just as you can change any volume name.
CLick on the title and type in the box to have a new name. You may have to reelect that volume using TM's preference pane.

Why can't I change my "from" name when sending email in iCloud

I can't change my name as it appears in the 'from" when sending from icloud,
Thanks,

if I try to add a calendar it won't let me change the name of it.
Not sure what you mean. Do you add a new calendar? Then you don't "change" but give it a new name. Or do you want to change an existing one. Then you're back to my first response here, if nothing else.

Why can't I change iMessage volume?

I can't find a way to change the iMessage volume. I change the ringer volume and the iMessage volume stays the same. I've heard it's a bug with SIRI, if so will Apple ever fix it?

IPhoto can't find original photos after volume name change

I had to reformat my drive and do a fresh install of Mountain Lion. I was pleased that the Migration Assistant imported all the user accounts, apps, etc. from a Time Machine backup. Never could have done *that* with Windows...
However, in iPhoto, I *do not* copy pictures from my Pictures folder into the iPhoto library and iPhoto can't find them. I expect that this is because I changed the volume name when I reformatted the drive, which is embedded somewhere in the iPhoto package in my Pictures folder.
Does anyone know which iPhoto files I can edit or batch edit to change references from the old volume name to the new one? Is this information stored in text or XML files that I can edit or is it embedded in binary files? I thought I might be able to reimport the photos from the current volume and iPhoto would sort out the duplicates (not a great option if I get prompted for each one though...) but I wasn't sure if that would preserver events, faces, etc.
When I try to rebuild the iPhoto library, I get a dialog indicating each file cannot be found on the volume. While it provides an option to browse for the location, this isn't practical due to the 1000's of photos and movies on the drive.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

As OT says, the primary reason not to run a Referenced Library, and, most especially, not one where you have the Library on one Volume and the photos on another.
You're going to have this problem again and again any time you make a change to your hardware set up - including upgrading your machine and so on.
Going forward: Do you have Aperture? This has a command to Locate Referenced Masters which should help. Other than that, how are you at hacking SQL databases? That's what this guy did:

Effect on symbolic link when changing volume name

I just wanted to verify this information before I proceed with changing the name of my hard drive. I have 3 partitions of my MBP's internal drive. There is the system partition "Mac HD", a boot camp partition and a data only partition called "Storage". I have quite a few symbolic links on "Mac HD" which point to "Storage", where the data is stored. If I change the name of "Mac HD" and/or "Storage", will the symbolic links update to the new name of the volume automatically? Or, will the change of volume name break the symbolic links so I have to create them all over again? Everything I have read leads me to believe they will update, but I don't want to mess anything up and find out the hard way. A little confirmation would make me feel much better before I make the change.
Thanks,
sterling

I don't want to get off on a tangent about pros and cons of cloning, I just want to plant a seed of worry to review it at a later date. It is one thing to restore a disk image for a kiosk machine, it is something else entirely to restore an image of some machine that has had people using it. Misconfiguration, corrupt filesystems, and failed hard drives are some of the most frequent causes of failures. Having a clone of a system that has just failed for one of those reasons doesn't give me a warm fuzzy. It would be a much better idea to have a procedure (or script) to build a new server from scratch and load it from a backup (not a bitwise clone) of known, good data.
Our computer use is typical. There are only a few employees who use the computers regularly, and a few people others who use it less often. the daily use is mostly for back end management like bookkeeping and processing orders. The rest of the operations are design based, like graphics and documents. We don't have a business like a kiosk where people are all over the computers all day. With deep freeze on the system though, there is no worry about anyone doing anything to the system that would corrupt it. Also, the actual drives with the OS rarely get changed or backed up, because they remain the same for the most part. All of the files that are created like documents, designs, orders and such, are saved to storage. The storage is what I back up frequently, because that's where everything is stored. I may have a false sense of security, but I always thought I was more protected than most, because all of my files are stored on a drive without any operating system. I figured there is very little that can go wrong which could corrupt my data since the drive is data only. I always have 2 backups up both the OS drive and the data storage drive. One is like a daily backup, the other is more like once a week or so update which is kept in the safe. I always verify that the backup by opening a few files on it, but I never really know for sure that everything is safe because I can't open everything! I have no clue how to start a server based system backup like you are talking about, but it sounds like a much safer backup method. A little overkill for use considering we don't do that much on the computers? Maybe, but only because I would have to hire someone to come set it up for me. Maybe it's not so hard as it sounds, but I know I don't have the time to learn how to do something like that myself. I didn't realize the backup techniques I am using are so inferior. I feel like my data is pretty safe, but I guess I can look into other options.
I don't consider it "fun", I consider it a "requirement".
I am a bit of a prepper, okay a lot of a prepper. I am prepared for just about anything that can come my way. I do not consider testing my preps fun either. I was just saying, I anticipate that there will be some sort of loss when I restore, based on what you're telling me.
Disasters do have a remarkable ability to strike when you are least prepared. There is a logical reason for that. The more prepared you are, the less disastrous the event.
Agreed, 100%. That's why we're talking about it. I was starting to think that I was over thinking it! Clearly I'm not the only one!
Interesting. Unfortunately, the symbolic link method is pretty invasive because it requires those links to be up and functioning before the clone. A better solution would be to identify all those files, and have a launchd script that replaces the original files with either modified versions or links at system boot time.
With deep freeze, the symlinks are re-created every time I boot, even if they are broken before shutdown. So, it's pretty safe as long as they work before I freeze the system. I also have the two backups in case something goes wrong. I'm confident the links work. And the worst thing that can go wrong if they break is that I have to re-create the broken ones. either way, the data that is linked is still on my storage drive and both of my backups. The only thing I wouldn't be able to recover would be the symbolic link itself.
You need to think of this in terms of the file system. The "name" of a volume doesn't really mean anything. What matters is the mount point. The mount point, however, depends on a particular hardware configuration. You could control it better with some clever mounting scripts, but it sure seems like there is a much easier way to accomplish your ultimate goal.
I guess you're saying I could get by without deep freeze, and that it complicated things. Yes, it does. I am always trying to find workarounds because of it. However, I like the fact that my computer is the same every time I turn it on no matter what someone has done to it.
You have extensive control over your mount points.
I will have to look into this, because if I can get the firewire clone to run with the symlinks in place, I could have a fully working system with nothing more than a restart of the computer.
That, I don't know. Restoring a disk image that has embedded symbolic links to another drive is a fragile solution. You know what files you need to symlink, write a script that will set up the links at boot time - or at any time. Exactly what files are these? I strongly think there is an even easier solution lurking around. Why are you so concerned about retaining user data through restarts? Why are you even restarting?
There's actually not as many as I thought. I have symlinked data and prefs from mail, ical, address book, blackberry desktop. Then, some document folders. I could cut a lot of these down by linking my entire documents folder and building my hierarchy within that, but I've built my own which is neatly organized into the 4 departments of our business. It's really not that much. The only thing is that my mail, ical and address book won't work on the clone, because they are dependent on the simlinks. Everything else is just files that I would access directly from the storage drive anyway, so no loss there!
Wow! I made it through here! I'll review over the ideas you recommended and see if I can actually implement any of them myself. My guess is, I don't have the skills to pull them off. I'll look into it though. thanks for your time, and I will let you know what happens.

Change volume name

I need some help;
I want to change the volume name but don´t know how to?

If you want to change the name of a volume, such as that for a hard drive or a partitio to one, you do it exactly the same way as changing thee name of a file. Click the volume's icon once to select it, then press the Return key; this will put the volume's filename into edit mode. Type in the ne name, then press return again.
Note 1 - if you're referring to a CD or similar volume, one which is locked or otherwise can not be written to, you can not change its name.
Note 2 - if you're using File Sharing on a network, changing the name of a volume will interfere with access between machines.

Old volume names still appears on client

Dear reader,
Hopefully a simple question. After changing the volume name on the server the old name still appears on the client using df. I am not sure it is a big problem but as I have also other problems, this one is may be easy to fix and potentially related.
The old name was MiniMax HD and is changed to MiniMaxHD. ( I will never put spaces in a volume name again)
See also attached result of df from the client. The volumes on the server ore correct.
Thanks
PS do not hesitate if you have other comments on this volume list as I also have other problems.

The problem still exists. It is even worse as the external disk gave up and I bought a different one with a different name.
Where is this information generated or stored. Even in finder I get different paths if I go through Network or Volumes here it should be the same.
Any hints??

Can anyone explain me why iTunes is just changing song names an messing up the order?

I have different songs that I would like to upload onto the phone iOS 6.1.3
So I copy the songe into a playlist in iTunes.
Song names are
whatever_xx-001
whatever_xx-002
whatever_xx-020
what does iTunes? It just changes the song names and make a complete mess with the order of the songs:
whatever xx 1
whatever xx 20
whatever xx 2
My question is, if iTunes is not usable for copying numbered songs? I cannot imagine that this tool is so stupid? Or am I doing something wrong?
Thank you for a hint.

Now I look more carefully at your list, I see what you mean.
iTunes does have a method for Artist sorting if the Sort fields are empty (as most of mine are), but offhand, I don't know much about it to be honest. The glaring issue in the your screenshot is Ministry Of Sound.
If any of the other experienced contributors add to this thread (note the number of points they have) with better advice than I can offer, take it.
In the meantime, start with the Ministry Of Sound and check the Sort Artist field. If you highlight everything by an artist, or a complete album, and select Get Info/Sorting, you see this view:
and if you select just a single song, it's this view:
I assume, unless you tell me otherwise, that the Ministry Of Sound entries will show something in there which is causing iTunes to put them in with the entries for A. Replace it with Ministry Of Sound. If the field is blank (which it will be if there are two different entries in your selection) simply type in Ministry Of Sound. Does that make any difference?
If it does, then check your other entries to see what is causing the issue with them.
You may find the the artist "Joey Bada$$" has been set to sort by Bada$$, Joey.
This screenshot of my Artists column may explain why B.o.B is before Baauer:
If you don't like it that way, change the entry in the Sort Artist field to suit you.

Yosemite changes the name of shared connection

Hello ppl
I've a mini recently upgraded to 10.10
This computer is shared on my network with a specific name (ie room)
After a while I see that this computer is shared with the name "room2"
Also logging on it and checking the name of sharing "room2" is reported. I set it again to the correct name, but yosemite changes it again after some time.
Hints?
Btw: it was a clean installation

OK so I got a bit fed up with this issue, I was also going around in circles until the fix (I have waited over 2 weeks to test before posting this) came to me.
Open System Preferences > Network
In the network section you will most likely see "Automatic" listed as your Location. Click on your current location then click "Edit Locations". Create a new location (I called mine Home but I do not think the name matters) then select it. The old location can now be removed. Apply the changes then sigh with relief. It would seem that the location that you were using when upgrading to Yosemite somehow got corrupted.
I hope that this is a fix that also is workable for you too
