OS X :: Itunes Still Remember The Filename?

Apr 21, 2010

I imported some movies into itunes library. But the names of those movies are disordered and confused, so i try rename them to make the style clean.

Since there are a lot of them, i write some python code to do the work. I rename them directly from the source directory which is in iTunes/iTunes Music/Movies. But when I open itunes, the names are not changed. Then I try to use organize library option those names in the source file are changed back to old names.

After that, I move all those movies to other directory, and delete them in itunes. I try to rename those movies in that directory, and then import them to itunes. Surprisingly, when importing to itunes, they all changed to old names! I don't know why itunes still remember them.

OS X :: FCP License Key Location / Filename?

Mar 6, 2006

Hi y'all: i just purchased FCP Studio 5 retail (ouch) and installed it, but not before i had a deal fall through with someone who had "sold" me their copy but then rescinded the deal. So, i have my own copy now, but i have THEIR license key registration - i need to enter mine, but throwing the apps away doesn't delete this info; it's stored somewhere else.

can anyone point me to the correct file for deletion, so that when i relaunch any of the studio apps, i will be prompted for (correct) license key information?

Applications :: Looking For Software Which Will Let Me Edit A Mkv Filename?

Aug 24, 2010

I have a .mkv file on my iMac and when I rename it, it works but it also doesn't work.

I rename it by clicking on the .mkv file and clicking Get Info, then I can enter in the new file name there.

But then when I did open the file in VLC Player, it shows the original file name which is something stupid like "dizo".

I'm looking for a program which will let me edit this file name properly (hope that made sense).

OS X Mavericks :: 10.9.3 - Filename Character Limit?

Jun 30, 2014

I just tried to save a file with a rather long name.  I got an error message that said I could not use filenames longer than 31 characters,  I seem to remember that before I got this computer (iMac 21.5"), I used to have longer filenames than 31 characters!  Is my memory faulty or is the operating system, "Mavericks" 10.9.3 deficient in this area, also?

OS X :: External Drive - Setting Filename File Mix Up?

Feb 2, 2010

I have a 1Tb Iomega Minimax attached to my Mac mini that has started acting strangely.

It would appear that some of the file names have become linked to other files on the hard drive.

Example - I can double click on an mp3 file that used to be fine, but now a video file gets played that is stored elsewhere on the Minimax.

It only appears to be some of my files. I use this drive mainly for mp3 and AVI video storage so the mix ups are typically between these file types.

I ran disk utility but it says the drive is fine. Is there any other Mac software that can help me figure out what the problem is and maybe fix it?

I've never seen a hard drive do this before, and my Mac experience is pretty limited!

OS X :: Copy Filename And Date Created From Finder

Aug 14, 2010

I'd like to copy the filename and the date created (basically, whatever my Finder's List View shows, which is minimal) so that I can paste it into a plain text document. Is there an easy way to do this without a script? As it stands, when I copy and paste to the text document, I just get the filename with its extension.

OS X Mavericks :: Sort By Name In Finder When Numbers In Filename

Aug 26, 2014

If I have the following folders or files (the numbers in which represent dates):

"20120211 abcdef" and "2014 abcdef" then, if I sort the files by Name in Finder, they will be sorted like this:

"2014abcdef"

"20120211abcdef" 

so Finder seems to be treating the numeric characters as numeric values and sort the files by numeric value. 

How to change this behavior and tell Finder to treat numeric characters as alphabetical characters and sort the files/folders like:

"20120211abcdef"

"2014abcdef" 

Info:
MacBook Pro (13-inch Early 2011), OS X Mavericks (10.9.1), 240 GB SSD/1 TB HDD/8 GB RAM

OS X :: Automatically Resize Finder Columns To The Longest Filename?

Aug 20, 2010

I've read the other posts about this issue, but have not found a thread addressing automatic resizing a Finder column width to the longest filename. Is there a trick to configure Finder to do this? So far it looks like only a manual double-click of the column handle will accomplish this.

OS X Technologies :: How To Reference To Filename With Forward Slash Character

May 30, 2012

I have this script line:
do shell script "lpadmin -p CIN-East-Copier -E -v lpd://192.168.51.78 -P '/Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/LANIER MP C5501/LD655C'"

The filename is "LANIER MP C5501/LD655C", the forward slash in the name is a character, not a folder structure.The script above works perfectly for drivers without the forward character. How to make it work? I tried replacing the forward slash with URL encoded character, changing the structure to colon delimited (i.e. Macintosh HD:Library:Printers....etc), none work.

OS X Mavericks :: Underscore In Filename Prevents Searching In Finder?

Dec 10, 2014

I've recently discovered that while searching in Finder I am not getting any results of files that have underscores in their file names. For example, a photographer sent over hundreds of files that are named "IMG_1234.jpg." When I search in that folder for any files named "34", I get no results, even though I can see the file is right there. Files with names like "AC-1234.jpg" are fine and come up in the results right away.  

What gives with the underscore? Is this a Mavericks thing? I've never had this issue before with Finder. Is there a setting I can change to include these file names in my search results?

Info:
Mac Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)

Aperture :: Can Save Filename As A Keyword On Importing Photo

Jun 5, 2014

I'd like to automatically save each photo filename as a keyword for that photo, so if the file name is changed later through different versions it retains the original filename within its EXIF information to identify it, preferably while importing it. 

I there some form of dynamic keyword that lets you have Aperture replace it with the current file name?

OS X :: Changed Password Now Cannot Remember It

Feb 22, 2010

So this morning I changed my OS X password and didn't write it down anywhere. It was something pretty random, and I don't know if I'd even recognize it if I thought of it. I know, I know, I'm an idiot and didn't do anything right here. I'm the only user on this computer, don't have a master password set up, and don't have my install disc for another month and a half (due to my AmeriCorps program I'm moving around a lot and didn't bring it traveling with me). Is there anything I can do short of taking it to an Apple Store?
