Rename the folder

bought a used mac with El Capitan on that, I would like to rename the folder.  I tried to go to users in system preferences, but it does not show up there.  Rename selection is not highlighted.  How to rename it?

Better is to do it and do it again.

  • How do I rename the folder of bookmarks 'Unsorted Bookmarks '? or add a folder at this level?

    With the help of Windows8 Firefox EU euballot - 1.1.
    Try to rename the folder of bookmarks 'Unsorted Bookmarks'? or add a folder at this level?
    I tried the suggestions in the forum (ie. Shift ctrl B); access to the file through library; all no chance.

    When you try to add a new folder on the same level as the 'Unsorted Bookmarks' folder, the new folder appears in the folder "Unsorted Bookmarks" and not on the same level.

    Something that I missed?
    Thanks for your suggestions.

    I do not recommend this. IIRC, users have mentioned that this folder has been renamed, when they started a new "Unsorted Bookmarks" folder has been created automatically when Firefox.

  • I can't see changes in a folder unless I go up a level and then re-enter folder, for example, create new folder, rename the folder, rotate the image etc. Can someone please?

    I do not see changes within a folder, except if I go up a level and then again enter the folder, for example, create new folder, rename the folder, rotate the image, etc..

    By pressing the "F5" key would probably be to refresh the folder.

  • Rename the folder to the user files

    In Vista, I can't rename a folder of the user.  This computer used to be used by someone else, and I can't rename the folder so everything I do Gets the tag with his name on it.  I changed the name of the computer and log in name.  Can I change any other user except this one folder.  Any ideas how to rename this folder?

    It sounds like a problem with permissions for me (he does not resemble a corrupted profile) - you try to use its files under your user name and the system wants as his user name.  The solution is to give your full user name to all records in his profile and then to take possession of all the files in the profile - then you will have the rights you need.

    To view your permissions, right-click on the file/folder, click Properties, and check the Security tab.  Check the permissions you have by clicking on your user name (or group of users).  Here are the types of permissions, you may have: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-are-permissions.  You must be an administrator or owner to change the permissions (and sometimes, being an administrator or even an owner is not sufficient - there are ways to block access (even if a smart administrator knows these ways and can move them - but usually should not because they did not have access, usually for a very good reason).)  Here's how to change the permissions of folder under Vista: http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-vista/set-file-folder-permissions-vista/.  To add take and the issuance of right of permissions and ownership in the right click menu (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/05/21/take-and-grant-full-control-permissions-and-ownership-in-windows-7-or-vista-right-click-menu/.

    To resolve this problem with folders, appropriating the files or the drive (as an administrator) and give you all the rights.  Right-click on the folder/drive, click Properties, click the Security tab and click on advanced and then click the owner tab.  Click on edit, and then click the name of the person you want to give to the property (you may need to add if it is not there--or maybe yourself). If you want that it applies to subfolders and files in this folder/drive, then check the box to replace the owner of subcontainers and objects, and click OK.  Back and now there is a new owner for files and folders/player who can change the required permissions.  You can change now switched to read-only (even if the main folder indicates that they are always read-only - you can access yourself as the owner).  You can keep them in read-only to other users, customers and administrators even (although they can support themselves and access, if they wish, and it is really not that you can do to stop it except protect the file with a password by using a 3rd party product).  This should also give you access to open and work with all of the files in these filders, as if they were in your file.  Here is more information on the ownership of a file or a folder: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67717-take-ownership-file.html.  To add take ownership in the menu of the right click (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista/.

    You can also create a folder in your profile named username of the other person and move the files in this folder.  He needs to pick up the permissions and attributes of the new folder (YOUR user profile folder) and you won't need to go to his profile whenever you want to get one of his records.  You may still need to change the permissions and/or ownership if you do this - it would be just to make things easier and quicker to access.

    Good luck and I hope this helps!

    Only time that happens, in my limited, knowledge is... If you use a 'illegal' name, such as ":" symbol. There are symbols, that you cannot use as part of a name. When this happens, you should get a warning indicating that the name is not allowed, something to that effect. Then he returns itself back to the new folder.
    Suggest you try again with conventional names. See if it works or not.

    You opened an empty catalog.

    You can try the following two steps to open the appropriate catalog file.

    1. Use the file-> open recent, open the list of all catalogs
    2. If this does not work, you will need to find the appropriate help for your operating system catalog file and double-click it to open it.

  • Name of the folder 'My music' renames itself

    My computer seems to automatically rename the folder 'my music' to have my name. There are problems with my iPod, which will not initialize without finding a folder 'my music '.

    Since this is a special folder, I can't change the name of my own. To move things, I created a new user on my computer and the iPod was recognized for a time, but the 'my music' folder name has changed, too.

    Why the 'My music' folder name is changing, and what can I do to reverse the trend, or at least stop it.

    TIA

  • Can not stop cryptographic services to rename the Catroot2 folder.

    Hello

    I recently bought Halo 2 for WIndows Vista and tried to run it on my pc, which uses windows 7 Home premium. Since I installed the game, whenever I play it stops, saying that "Games for Windows Live could not... etc" I looked up the solution on a microsoft forum, and he said to rename the folder c:\windows\system32\catroot 2 by stopping the cryptographic service. ""

    Whenever I try to stop the cryptographic service, I get:

    System error 5: access denied

    I tried running the cmd as administrator prompt, and I get the message: "the application pause, continue or stop is not available for this service"

    I can also rename the Catroot2 folder, as he always says: ' this folder could not be renamed because it is already in use... etc ", but I think it's because I have not stopped the cryptographic service".

    What I'm doing wrong and what should I do to fix this?

    Hello
