  Hi all

• Cannot rename files

  I have some difficulty of renaming of files within a foldder. I can right click to highlight, but it does allow me to retype a new name. Strangely, although I can do this on a folder on my desktop.

  I tried a restore to an earlier time, but that did not work.

  I'd appreciate it if anyone had some ideas on how to solve.

  Thank you

  Here is an article on how to solve the problem of not being able to rename or move folders in Vista: http://www.winhelponline.com/blog/unable-to-rename-or-move-folders-in-windows-vista/.

  The last post in this thread contains a link to the program that supposedly fixes the problem (although I have not tried) editing of registry: http://forums.techguy.org/windows-vista/626307-windows-vista-unable-rename-folders.html

  Before making one of the procedures above, back up your registry just to be on the safe side.  Here's how: http://www.adamsdvds.co.uk/tutorials/vista/regedit/backup.php.

  If those who do not work, it is probably a question of ownership or permissions.  Give yourself full rights in the folder (and perhaps records parent if the permissions are inherited as described in the Advanced section) and also take possession of it.  Then you should be able to rename it.  Here are some procedures to help you:

  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.  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/.

  Good luck and I hope that one of these solutions help!

• Cannot rename files or folders.

  Compaq Presario SR1303WM, Windows XP service pack 3. A month ago the computer had a lighting strike and I lost everything and had to use the restore function. I created a name slightly different admin and already had a name of admin, so that gave me 2 users with administrator rights. When I log in as an administrator, I can't rename any files or folders. Another name for the administrator to rename.

  Carl, if I were you, I would like to delete the Admin account that does not allow you to change the names and start over again.  A problem occurred when the account was created.

• BRAVIA KDL-42W705B - cannot rename files when using HD recording

  I'm all round very happy with my new Sony TV. However, I spotted a missing feature: it doesn't seem to be a function to change the names of files in a already Harddisc recorded file. This is really needed - sometimes if the registered program starts a little later than planned, the file will automatically get its name from the previous thing that was on the same channel - causing great confusion after awhile when you forgot any file which is supposed to be that.

  Please consider this for a future update.

  Hi mate

  I assume you are using Win7. Right?

  Cannot rename files (programs) that appear in the Start Menu.

  You can ONLY rename folders.
  If you click on all programs, then you should also see some folders there.
  Right click on the folder and you should see the option rename.
  Choose this option and then you should be able to rename the folder

• Moved the folder "Pictures" of Mac and catalog image files shows no images. Cannot navigate to the appropriate folder in 'Files' Panel and cannot rename the folder "Images". How can I reconnect catalog image files?

  Moved the folder "Pictures" of Mac and catalog image files shows no images. Cannot navigate to the appropriate folder in 'Files' Panel and cannot rename the folder "Images". How can I reconnect catalog image files?

  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.

  You cannot rename an online redo log file.
  You must ensure that it is not "ACTIVE" or "CURRENTS" and drop logfile group rightaway without renaming.

• Cannot access the renamed files

  For the last 2 days I tried to use the bridge to rename my files. I did exactly the same way for a long time. Since yesterday, it renames them but converts the files into a sort of file I can't open or work with. Help, please. I'm desperate.

  Clearly, something was wrong with the file extensions.

  Perhaps, you can rename them again by not to rename file name, but by adding the correct extension.

• Why we cannot create a folder with the name con

  Hello Sir,

  I wan't to know the reason for why we cannot create or rename a folder with the name "con" as the other folder names. But I know that we can create this type of file using cmd.
  Thank you.
  Mihir Mani prasad

  CON is a reserved word and cannot normally be used as a folder name.  This also applies to: PRN, to THE, NUL, COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, COM5, COM6, COM7, COM8, COM9, LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, LPT4, LPT5, LPT6, LPT7, LPT8, and LPT9.

• Rename files in Lightroom 3 when importing (problems)

  I can trouble importing files into Lightroom name where I want to custom their name - sequentially. I import the data to a folder on my hard drive in the folder that contains all of my files in lightroom. I am able to import and rename files in folders with ease. Others said Lightroom 3 couldn't have their name. Why? If I try to import and rename in LR2 I have no problem. I'm basically a Nikon generated file, say DSC0001. NAVE and rename in Ireland 07-30 - 08.NEF. Lightroom 3 cannot do. Anyone know why? Thank you.

  I'm renaming all my during the import of the NAVE.

  Here's how:

  

  and it works very well.

  There is another problem with the import you might encounter. The actual files on the file system and records, he presents in the library do not correspond regarding the rental structure. Try to pass will result in an error message that the file cannot be moved because it is already there. If you run this as well, just let me know for a solution. Hope that Adobe fixes this annoying very quickly.

• Press back twice to rename files?

  On my MacBook Pro (mid 2015 running 10.11.4) I have to press the return key twice when a file or folder is selected in the Finder in order to be able to change its name. The first time I press return has absolutely no effect or action. I think it is a particular behavior, I've not met in any of my other machines and I don't know how to change it. Any ideas?

  Hello, SonathD.

  It seems that you are having problems with your Finder not allowing you to rename a file or folder by using the return key after choosing, he. You are right in your expectations of the process of change of name, as shown in this Knowledge Base article:

  OS X El Capitan: rename files, folders, and disks

  You can change the default name of most of the files, folders and disks, including the internal hard drive (named Macintosh HD). If you change the name of your hard drive, it always appears with its original on a network name.

  Rename an item

  1. Select the item in a window in the Finder or on the desktop, press return. Or force click on the name of the element.

  2. Enter a new name.

     You can use numbers and most of the symbols. You cannot include a colon (:)) or start the name with a dot (.).) Some applications may not allow you to use a slash (/) in a file name.

  3. Press return.

  For further troubleshooting, you can test this behavior to another user to determine if your problem is specific to the user or the system-wide. This article provides a great tutorial on how to do:

  How to test a question in another account on your Mac.

  Before you try a different user account

  If you see unexpected behavior on your Mac to first try the following steps:

  Try to search the base knowledge of Apple for the specific symptom or an alert message you see. There could be more simple measures that you can take to solve the problem.

  Try to boot your Mac in Mode safe. Restart your computer. Hold the SHIFT key when you hear the startup sound. Release the SHIFT key when you see the Apple logo appears. Your Mac starts up in Safe Mode. Safe mode performs a check of your startup disk directory and removes data from the cache. Once your finished Mac commissioning, restart the Mac normally (without hold the SHIFT key) and see if the problem is resolved.

  Make sure your software is up-to-date. The question that you see can be addressed by installing the available updates.

  Check to see where the problem occurs. If a problem arises until you see your desktop, it is less likely that it is related to a setting or a user account. If a problem occurs with a Web site, see if the pages of other websites correctly first load. There could be a problem with the site and not your Mac.

  How to test with another user account

  You can find out if unexpected behavior is related to the user file or a parameter in trying to reproduce the problem to a different user account. This process includes creating a new user account, connect to it and test for the issue.

  Create a test user account

  1. In the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
  2. Click the users and groups in the System Preferences window.
  3. Click the lock icon and enter an administrator name and password.
  4. Click on the button Add (+) below the list of users.
  5. Choose a type of user in the new pop-up menu.
  6. Give the user a name and first name, account name, and password.
  7. Click OK.
  8. Close the System Preferences window.

  If there are documents from your user account that you want to test with original, place a copy of these items in the shared folder in the users folder. Press the Option key while dragging a file in this folder to create a copy.

  Connect to the test user account

  Log out of your current user account by choosing logout in the Apple menu, and then open a session the new account that you created. If you are prompted to login with your iCloud or Apple ID account when you log in, skip this step.

  Try to reproduce the problem

  Try the same steps that caused the unexpected behavior to appear. For example, if you are unable to print, try printing from this user account. If you were unable to connect to the Internet, try to navigate on a website of this user account.

  If you use specific test settings depends on (for example using a specific e-mail account or an account iCloud) implemented the same test user account. For email and other parameters, you can use the Internet accounts pane in system preferences to set up these types of accounts. If your home folder files are necessary for tests, copy them into the shared folder in the users folder (/ Users/Shared). After you connect as a user test, copy these items to the same location in the test user home folder to test with.

  If a problem occurs in account only one user

  Is using the same steps in a user account test does not cause the same unexpected behavior, most likely you don't need to reinstall applications or OS X.

  • If a problem occurs only in a single application, check the documentation or Web site for instructions on troubleshooting specific preferences or the definition of the application files.
  • If you need help with a problem or a specific alert message, search the Apple support Web site for the text of the alert message you see.

  If a problem occurs in more than one user account

  If the same unexpected behavior occurs in more than one user account on your Mac, try checking for software or hardware problems.

  Once you have finished

  When you are finished testing, disconnect from the test account by choosing logout in the Apple menu. Then, connect to your original user account.

  You can Remove the account to test user created when you are finished. Make sure you're completely finished stable, and you don't need the files or settings you have created or copied there until you delete it.

  Get help

  If you need assistance with a problem software or hardware, Please contact Apple technical support. If you are working with a consultant, engineering or service provider to resolve a problem, remember to mention all the steps you have already tried and the results. Also mention the alert messages that you saw in the context of the question. You can take a screenshot of all the messages that appear to refer to it later.

  Thank you for reaching out to the communities of Apple Support.

  Kind regards.

• Windows Embedded Compact 7 on the smartbook Sylvania - IE cannot download files

  I have a Sylvania 7 '' Wireless Smartbook WEC7 (http://www.sylvaniacomputers.com/product.php?id_product=45) with the latest firmware, running on Windows Embedded Compact 7.  It is produced by a Chinese company that manufactures several similar models, both with Windows Embedded and Android.

  Internet Explore cannot download files.  It is said "website not found" when I try to download an attachment to email (Gmail, Aol, MS exchange web, etc.), or click on a link that should cause a file download start.

  I think it's at the level of the BONE, because I also installed Opera Mini 5.1 Windows mobile, which works well on the machine, and also, it can not download attachments or files.

  I also have the earlier version of the Sylvania Smartbook running Windows CE 6 (http://www.sylvaniacomputers.com/product.php?id_product=41).    IE and Opera Mini 5.1 work as expected, and download files.

  Anyone has an idea why Windows Embedded Compact 7 on the Sylvania is unable to download files?
