Can't copy [filename.extension], the path is too large (or similar)

Well, when I try to copy FF VII AC.mvpd into my iPod's root, it shws that after a few minutes of transfer, the filesize is 791.666 KB.
Any explanation or help to solve this?
Thanks,
Soleambeati

According to reports, if the filing protocol is SMB, you can sometimes work around the problem by forcing a CIFS connection instead. To do that, first disconnect from the file server, then select
          Go ▹ Connect to Server
from the Finder menu bar, or press the key combination command-K. Then enter
cifs://server-address
in the dialog that opens, where server-address is the IP address or domain name of the server.
Some other ideas for solving or working around the problem can be found in this thread. I haven't tested any of them.

  • How can I get rid of the path in Type on a Path?

    Greetings
    Now I really feel stupid. First I couldn't find the magin tabs, now I can't get rid of the path. I have a feeling I might need to start over, but is there a way to lose the path and still have the text?

    You should highlight the text that is on the path, copy it using Ctrl+C / Command+C and then
    place a new text tool cursor elsewhere on the page and paste the text into that cursor.  Then delete
    the old occurrence of the text on path.

  • How do I paste a copied filename into the save as window?

    I am used to copying filenames into the save as window ... it is more accurate and mroe efficient than typing them.  When I upgraded to CS1 and CS3, I can not do this, either on Snow Leopard or on Win7.  How do I regain the ability to do this?

    Copy and paste works just fine in the save dialog.
    And the save dialog is provided by the OS, so if you have any third party utilities that modify the behavior of the save dialog - those could cause problems.
    Also, CS1 and CS3 are both quite a few years out of date.
    Are you sure you have the right version numbers?

  • How can i copy and referencing the value of a sub-total of a category into another cell?

    How can i copy and referencing the value of a sub-total of a category into another cell?

    Cells in Category  rows 'exist' only when those categories are inserted using the Reorganize table. Those cells cannot be referenced from other cells.
    If you want a category summed, you will need to do that in a cell that is still visible when the table is not sorted into categorie using the Reorganize pane. The function to use is SUMIF. You can find information regarding SUMIF (and SUMIFS) in the iWork Formulas and Functions User Gude. The guide may be downloaded using the link in the Help menu in Numbers '09.

    I don't think the list style transfers. Copy and paste the text in to Mail, select it and then choose "Insert Numbered List" as a work around.

  • I need suggestion about copy and paste the path....?

    Hi Everyone!
              This is Vijay and I need one  suggestion, Actualy I moved Photoshop path between two files. If I Copy and paste the path(Using Java Script) then the path size will be reduced. otherwise I Copy and Paste the path(Manualy) to other file that size only maintain. Any one tell Why The Path Size would be Reduce,using Script? Thanks in Advance.!
    Regards
    - yajiv

    It would appear that the path is scaled in relation to the width … I don’t know why.
    And are You sure You want to transfer only from the second path on?
    What does »Do need ful.!« mean?
    You could try this, it collects the PathPoints-data and may actually be unnecessarily complicated.
    var docRef = app.activeDocument;
    var PathCount = activeDocument.pathItems.length;
    var PathList = new Array( );
    for (var i = 0; i < PathCount; i++) {
    PathList[i] = activeDocument.pathItems[i].name;
    DuPath(PathList[i]);
    function DuPath(pname){
    var thePathArray = getPathInfo(app.activeDocument.pathItems[pname]);
    var id200 = charIDToTypeID( "copy" );
    executeAction( id200, undefined, DialogModes.NO );
    var id201 = charIDToTypeID( "slct" );
    var desc57 = new ActionDescriptor();
    var id202 = charIDToTypeID( "null" );
    var ref56 = new ActionReference();
    var id203 = charIDToTypeID( "Dcmn" );
    ref56.putOffset( id203, 1 );
    desc57.putReference( id202, ref56 );
    executeAction( id201, desc57, DialogModes.NO );
    var newPath = app.activeDocument.pathItems.add(pname, thePathArray)
    var id205 = charIDToTypeID( "Dslc" );
    var desc58 = new ActionDescriptor();
    var id206 = charIDToTypeID( "null" );
    var ref57 = new ActionReference();
    var id207 = charIDToTypeID( "Path" );
    ref57.putClass( id207 );
    desc58.putReference( id206, ref57 );
    executeAction( id205, desc58, DialogModes.NO );

    var desc59 = new ActionDescriptor();
    var id209 = charIDToTypeID( "null" );
    var ref58 = new ActionReference();
    var id210 = charIDToTypeID( "Dcmn" );
    ref58.putOffset( id210, -1 );
    desc59.putReference( id209, ref58 );
    executeAction( id208, desc59, DialogModes.NO );
    ////// get path-array //////

    How can I copy photos from the camera roll to an already existing album in ipad?

    If you are in thumbnail view in the Camera Roll, tap the Edit button in the upper right corner. Tap the photos that you want to add to the existing album. Tap - Add To - in the upper right corner and then tap - Existing Album.
    You can only add camera roll photos to albums that you have created on the iPad. You cannot add them to albums that you synced from iTunes.

  • Could not complete the new 3D extrusion from selected layer command because the path is too complex.

    I was trying to do a photo of mine like in this video but its not working help needed. thanks.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egyLY78H7nE
    When I tried the 3D I got an error message that said (could not complete the new 3D extrusion from selected layer command because the path is too complex.) what does this mean and how can i fix it?

    There was a bug at one time where really simple paths (like a triangle, for example) could cause that error.
    Is your path really simple (I don't plan to go watch the video)?  If so, have you installed the latest update for Photoshop?  That bug may have been fixed already.
    If it's not that, it's possible that if your path is really complex and simply exceeding Photoshop's capability.

  • "Could not complete your request because the path is too complex"

    I'm trying to render 24 characters of text with line breaks in 3D, because, as we know, 3D can be very spiffy... but I get:
    "Could not complete your request because the path is too complex"
    Interesting, I'm on a rocketship workstation with a fairly stealthy config. All is updated to the latest ver., 13.1.2.. Not the greatest card in the world (Quadro 2000), but it seems more than ample for this task..
    It works fine with 9 characters on one line... Ok, possibly (or rather likely) I have too much text (24 characters? Line breaks? Trebuchet?), but frankly, I'd be surpised... What are the limitations here? Tips?
    Thank you!

    In this case, I have photoshop doing all the number crunching through GPU:
    Also, my performace settings (this is 32-bit PS, so it only sees 4GB):
    We'll see what any Adobe folks say, thank you very much for your time and insights!

  • Could not complete the new 3D extrusion because the path is too complex

    I'm using Photoshop CS6 in Windows 7 64bit. I've seen other posts about a bug if you are trying to complete a 3D extrusion when a triangle is present, but my issue seems even more basic.
    I'm drawing a simple wave shape with the pen tool set to shape, no fill, 1px stroke. I'm simply drawing three points to create a simple sine wave - the idea being to create a wavy piece of 35mm film. The image size is quite big - 6000 x 4000 px. The first time I did it, the rendering worked fine but I didn't like the curve I had drawn, so I stepped back and tried again. Now, whatever I do, I get the "Could not complete because the path is too complex" message.
    Is this a known bug and are there any workarounds to create a single pixel wide wavy shape in 3D that looks like a piece of film.
    Steve

    I have run across this also, but my path was more complex.  As far as creating a single pixel wavy shap, I would use the depth map 3D feature of  converting a depth map to a plane.  Create a gradient in 32bit mode, so the transistion are smooth, and then go to the 3D menu and select new mesh from depth map>plane.  You can later go in and edit the depth map to tweak it.

  • How can I insert a number of photos in a numbers doc without the file becoming too large?

    How can I insert a number of photos into a numbers doc without the file becoming too large?

    Use smaller photos.
    Seriously, reduce the file size of the photos in Preview, PhotoShop, iPhoto or other application before inserting tehem into the Numbers document.

    So now that you have repeated the same thing three times that doesn't make things any clearer at all.
    You are copying files from where to where?
    How are you attempting to copy files, software or click and drag?
    Any other detail would be helpful.
