  • Copy AppSet failed

    Hi,
    I am trying to copy an Application Set but when the process goes to the "Copy database" step I have the following error message:
    bold Error message: MODIFY FILE failed. File "NewELAMA_lo' does not exist. MODIFY FILE failed. File 'NewELAM' does not exist.
    Do you know what to do in such a case?
    Thank you for your help.

    Hi,
    Could you have a look to SAP note 1555469 and see it it's relevant in your case (BPC version)??
    Hope this will help.

  • Work around "cannot copy to disk.....cannot be read from or written to.

    While copying large files(movies or large amounts of music)to the iPod touch the error message" disk cannot be read from or written to" appears. Here is a work around for the failure.
    1. Run the latest version of iTunes and connect the iPod. Perform the following after the failure (allow one failure to occur and repeat this after each occurence) This is only good for one movie or one large grouping of music files. Eject the iPod and allow 30 seconds after the plug is pulled before reattaching the plug to the iPod. Once the summary window appears you are ready to start.
    2. In the movie tab behind the summary remove SYNC Movies check from the box.
    In the Music tab remove the SYNC Music check from the box.
    3. On the summary tab uncheck "manually manage music" in the options section. It will ask if you are sure, choose OK. Click "Apply" in the bottom right corner. Allow the iPod to try to SYNC... a message will appear explaining that there is not enough disk space, choose "OK".
    4. Check "manually manage music" in the options section. Click "Apply" in the bottom right corner.
    5. Drag and drop the selection of music or the movie over to the iPod icon on the left side of the screen under "Devices". The transfer should start and the progress graphic will start in the upper status window.
    ***I have only been able to move/ copy one movie at a time and one large music selection. When attempting the second transfer the error message returns and you have to start the process over. I tryed restoring, updating iTunes, different cables, updating XP, different USB ports, countless system restarts and threatening to smash it if it didn't work. I spoke with APPLE Tech support and they are aware of the problem and should be attempting to correct it. My iPod is @ its default settings. I have had no problems with single music files transfering but I have had it fail on as little as three in a group. Good Luck and I hope this helps.

    Here is some more info on this issue. I've been having the same problem - I've tried disconnecting all other USB devices, making sure to plug into the back-side USB 2.0 port, I even went and bought a PCI card 2-port USB hub and tried that, but could never sync movies or multiple songs (usually less than 50 songs). Today, I was able to transfer 2 movies and a TV show and about 100 songs and the one thing that was different was that I was doing a video conversion in the background with FFMPEG (taking up about 90% CPU), so iTunes only had about 10% CPU while doing the sync.
    Unfortunately, as I started typing this message, a third movie transfer just failed with the "cannot copy to disk..." read/write error. Oh well, just thought I'd get the info out, as this is an exteremely frustrating issue, and hopefully the more info we have we'll eventually be able to figure it out.

  • Cannot copy and paste anything

    Hello,
    I need help. I have two very large tech articles to post on my site and I cannot copy and paste anything. Cannot copy in paste items within the page or from word or notepad. It is as if the clipboard does not function at all. I am using Firefox 3.0 with the latest build version. Please help me out.

    Hello,
    Do you have the same problem with IE or Safari? Please try using a different browser to see if you can copy and paste your content. The current version of Firefox is 3.6. Do you have the same problem if you update Firefox?
    What operating system are you running?
    Best regards,

  • Cannot 'Consolidate Library" : Copying music failed , the file name was too

    Hi,
    I am trying to move all the music library to my new computer ( this is my 3rd time of changing my PC). I tried to consolidate the library... but the message was
    Copying music failed , the file name was invalid or too long"
    I already moved the Itunes to my new pc, but my new Itunes cannot "Relocating my file"
    Please help me

    To find out which file it was, look at where you were
    copying them too and see which was the last file
    copied - and then go back to your source, and go to
    the next one - it should be that one.
    I just wanted to add that I had the same issue (failure to finish copying and "invalid or too long" error msg) and at first didn't see how looking for the last file copied would work since iTunes is copying into folders.
    Duh.
    Reverse sort by date modified (newest folder at the top of the list) then drill down to the folder containing the files being copied. Voila. There was the (missing) culprit, and I knew which file to rename in the source folder.
    Thanks for the kick in the brain pan.

  • HT1751 I did all of the above and at the "Consolidate files" screen I clicked "ok" then it sayd "copying files failed. the file name was invalid or too long" and I had to click "OK"  I cannot consolidate the files to transport  to my external harddrive -h

    I would like to backup my itunes to my external hard drive
    I did all the steps up to "organize Liberary" which at this point I checked the box and the clicked"ok"
    it then said "copying files failed.  The file name was invalid or too long" "OK"
    It will  not let me consolidate the files so I can transfer to my external hard drive
    what am I doing wrong - any suggestions?
    thanks,

    Are you using consolidate files to bring in stray files to your main iTunes Media folder before backing up, or to copy the media folder to the external drive as part of backing up? If it is the latter then you are taking the wrong approach. See this user tip.
    Run my script Unconsolidated on the library. It will show you the remaining unconsolidated files which might give a clue as to which files iTunes is having a problem with. You can consolidate selected files in batches (select, right-click) as opposed to trying to do everything in one go. Alternatively you could try moving the remaining unconsolidated files with ConsolidateByMoving as long as this step is a precursor to a backup..

  • Trifecta:  Cannot repair harddrive, cannot access Aperture, cannot copy library

    Out of the blue my WD external HD (2T) stopped working.  The messages state that I cannot write data to it any longer and should back it up to another HD. 
    However, my Aperture library on the WD external cannot be opened, or copied.  Computer states that there is unreadable errors in the data.  Please see pictures for error messages. 

    Your second screenshot is a copy error, when you try to copy the library to a different drive, right?
    If you cannot create a backup, as Kappy recommended, try to copy the Aperture library in smaller steps to a different drive. There may be files with filenames, that cannot be read correctly - filenames that are too long or contain linefeeds, ethnic characters, or similar. Is your external drive formatted correctly MacOS Extended (Journaled)? A wrong format can give you this error message when copying.
    Create a folder on the drive you want to copy your library to. Name it "Aperture Library Copy".
    Ctrl-click your Aperture library on the failing drive and select "Show Package Contents".  You'll see a Finder window showing the parts of the library.
    Now try to copy again by dragging each individually to your new folder "Aperture Library Copy". When you see the error message again when copying a subfolder, open the copy and check the name of the last file, that could be copied and the name of the file that failed to copy. Skipthis file  and copy the rest.
    If you are lucky, you will be able to save the main parts of the library this way.
    When finished, rename the new copy of your library to "Aperture Library Copy.aplibrary". Double-click it to open it in Aperture. Does that work?

  • ITunes v10.6.1.7 "Copying files failed. The File name was invalid or too long."

    I'm trying to organize my music files using iTunes 10.6.1.7 and I keep getting the error message "Copying files failed. The File name was invalid or too long."
    I've got music folders by artist in both the iTunes Music folder and the iTunes Media/Music folder. When I add certain files by drag/drop they sometimes get lost and I don't want that to happen anymore. I used to just consolidate my music files using the File/Library/Organize Library option and that worked, however now when I do that, I get the error message.
    I'm a novice and the only online stuff I see is both confusing and refers to earlier versions of iTunes.
    My concern is that I have heard that people lose entire libraries of their music when they trry to fix things like this and I don't want that. If this is of any importance, I have several files called iTunes library and temp library. I have no idea what that all means but I'm scared to death of it.
    Also, I can't get to the "re-organize library" link at all. It won't let me.
    One thing that be of some interest is that when I pull up the properties of the music and media/music files they are marked "read only" I'm also afraid to touch that!
    Please help and please know that I am a dummy. Be kind and be clear. Step by step would be great, with images even better. Thanks.

    Perhaps nobody knows the answer? We're fellow users here answering questions in our free time when we think we've something useful to contribute.
    You can choose to *Consolidate selected tracks* with a right-click menu. Perhaps if you can identify a specific track that won't consolidate and examine the full path to the file & the path that iTunes would create when it consolidates the problem might become apparent. For example iTunes may not be able to move files if the source or destination path length exceeds 255 characters.

    google found some questions, but not fittung answers.
    So far:
    - I checked the folder & users rights.
    - I found some /tmp/ files - yes I "backup" the backuped archivelogs to-delete files in /tmp - I only active archivelogmode so I can onlinebackup
    - I managed to login via rman and execute DELETE OBSOLETE manual - result above.
    - Actual I delete the set one by one to find the problem set. (delete backupset 12345 ) from the list manually.
    Some a good idea what went wrong?
    additional: Is there a way to let oracle delete the empy archvielog-directories after deleting the logs within?

  • File name too long cannot copy (cont'd)

    This is a continuation of the post started September 01, 2009, with the last post on
    October 17, 2011 named File name too long cannot copy
    Since this is an ongoing unsolved issue, and the thread was locked, it continues here.
    It is ever so easy to create a long file/path using explorer.exe as will be shown below.
    What needs to be solved is, what is an easy way (no, not by listing out all the files in a directory to a text file and counting characters), perhaps using a shell extension, to find out which files in a directory and it's subdirectories will be (or were)
    too long to copy, (and then perhaps even copying those over either intact or renamed)?
    Maflagulator said:
    I'm running the 7100 build...enjoying it except for one big thing:
    While attempting to copy 402gb from my main storage volume onto a spare 500gb drive (for the purpose of changing to a new RAID array) I've come across something that I would expect a Windows 98 OS to give me.
    It tells me that a file has TOO LONG of a file name, then provides with two unhelpful options: SKIP or CANCEL
    I never had XP give me an issue like this at all, so what gives? And while some specific files did have long file names (such as for songs, etc.) it had 7 issues with folders stating that their name was too long, but in fact they were not since they were
    titled '07-06-07' for the date that I dumped the audio files in them. However, they may have contained FILES with long file names though.
    Anyone else get this same situation? Perhaps the RTM version does not do this? Can anyone verify this regarding their install of the RC or the RTM?
    It made it through 400gb out of the 402gb transfer.
    I'm just happy to see that it doesn't spazz out about an issue like this until it has done all the other transfers that it can do because it saves the issues it has with files until the very end. In XP it would spazz about it the moment it came across it
    causing the transfer process to halt.
    Since long path/file names can so easily be created on Win7, it might be useful to see a typical way this happens, which might then give clues how to work with them.
    In Windows Vista, we learnt from:
    File names and file name extensions: frequently asked questions that:
    Windows usually limits file names to 260 characters. But the file name must actually be shorter than that, since the complete path (such as C:\Program Files\filename.txt) is included in this character count.
    In Windows 7, we are told here:
    File names and file name extensions: frequently asked questions that:
    It depends on the length of the complete path to the file (such as C:\Program Files\filename.txt). Windows limits a single path to 260 characters. This is why you might occasionally get an error when copying a file with a very long file name to a location
    that has a longer path than the file's original location.
    From the Windows Dev Center - Desktop, we read about Maximum Path Length Limitation here:
    Naming Files, Paths, and Namespaces
    This helps us understand why a folder can be a maximum of 244 characters, from the defined 260 length of MAX_PATH as follows:
    260 minus C:\ (3) minus <NUL> (1) = 256
    256 minus 8.3 file name (12) = 244
    We also learn there that: The Windows API has many functions that also have Unicode versions to permit an extended-length path for a maximum total path length of 32,767 characters.
    And we read the claim that: The shell and the file system have different requirements. It is possible to create a path with the Windows API that the shell user interface is not be able to interpret properly.
    There is also a comment below this document that reads: In a previous iteration of this document, it is mentioned that The Unicode versions of several functions permit a maximum path length of approximately 32,000 characters composed of components up to
    255 characters in length. This information is now gone.
    So we are in a position where the file system and Windows API can create long path/flies that the shell cannot handle.
    But then we need to be able to handle it, so a little exploration might lead to a better understanding of how to do this.
    For most tasks being performed on long folder/files, Windows 7 and other Windows programs balk when the Path+Filename length > 260
    Let's create a long path/file.
    Create a folder called A at the root of a Drive.
    Create a sub-folder of A called: B
    Create a sub-folder of B called: C
    Make a FILE in sub-folder C called (no spaces or break, one long continuous string): 123456789A123456789B123456789C123456789D123456789E123456789F123456789G123456789H123456789I123456789J 123456789K123456789L123456789M123456789N123456789O123456789P123456789Q123456789R123456789S123456789T
    123456789U123456789V123456789W123456789X123456.txt
    Rename sub-folder C to the string (no spaces or break, one long continuous string) (The actual directory created will be slightly shorter than this full length): 123456789A123456789B123456789C123456789D123456789E123456789F123456789G123456789H123456789I123456789J

    Rename sub-folder B to the same full string above. (The actual directory created will be slightly shorter than this full length but 2 characters longer than the step above.)
    Rename folder A to that same full original string. (Again the actual directory created will be slightly shorter than this full length but 2 characters longer than the step above.)
    You now have the lovely file placed at (the breaks are just so it fits into the screen):

    You have a folder length of over 700 and a file length of over 250 for a total of over 950
    However you will notice that each folder, when created, could only be a maximum of 247 charachters including the path (example C:\ , & C:\A , & C:\A\B
    This only applies backwards, that is up the path. It did not matter what was further down the path.
    Now, you can't easily access or rename the file, but you can rename the folders easily.
    For best results, start renaming from the top of the Tree, working down the subfolders, because renaming from down up will limit you, and in fact won't work if the folder lengths are too long.
    So how might knowing this help us?
    Well, to copy this long_file from the C:\ drive to the D:\ drive, and keeping the path structure, this should work:
    Note the name of the top folder. Rename it to something very short, say: A (Make sure C:\A does not exist)
    Note the name of the 2nd folder. Rename it to something very short, say: B (Make sure C:\A\B does not exist)
    Note the name of the 3rd folder. Rename it to something very short, say: C (Make sure C:\A\B\C does not exist)
    Make sure D:\A does not exist - then copy the A folder on disk C: to disk D: (which gives you D:\A\B\C\long_file
    Rename D:\A\B\C to D:\A\B\Original_3rd_Folder_name
    Rename D:\A\B to D:\A\B\Original_2nd_Folder_name
    Rename D:\A to D:\Original_top_Folder_name
    Rename C:\A\B\C back to their original names, in this same reverse order starting with C, then B, then A
    Note: If using Explorer, at some points you might have to press the F5 refresh key.
    This is of course how you might copy such long path/files without using the other more "easy" techniques for the "normal" everyday user like:
    sharing a sub-folder
    using the commandline to assign a drive letter by means of SUBST
    using AddConnectionunder VB to assign a drive letter to a path
    using the "\\?\" prefix to a path string to tell the Windows APIs to disable all string parsing and to send the string that follows it straight to the file system
    and so on.
    See how simple Windows can be for Dummies!
    But then, how can we know that files to be copied exceed this MAX_PATH? Or also after a copy has taken place, know exactly which files that have NOT been copied because of exceeding the MAX_PATH limit, and then a procedure to copy these either by renaming
    them, or by copying them intact as they are?
    There have been suggestions to use
    LongPathTool, but this does not have a facility to check a series of folders and tell you which files are going to be caught by the error when copying. So once a copy has taken place using Windows 7, one does not know which files did not get copied, and
    where exactly they are located.
    Neither does the free
    Old Path Scanner do that. It can only check for overly long directory paths, but misses out when the directory path is within limits, but adding in the file name puts it out of bounds.
    So, as shown above, it is ever so easy to create a long file/path using explorer.exe
    So, what then is an easy way (no, not by listing out all the files in a directory to a text file and counting characters), perhaps using a shell extension, to find out which files in a directory and it's subdirectories will be (or were) too long to copy,
    (and then perhaps even copying those over either intact or renamed)?

    This is a not a "solution" ....but a "work around": a low tech fix....for error message "your file name is too long to be copied, deleted, renamed, moved" :
    1.   problem is this: the "file name" has a limit on number of characters.....the sum of characters really includes the entire path name; you gotta shorten it first (i.e, if the total number of characters in the file name + Path name are over the
    limit, the error appears).  The deeper your file folder sub levels are, the more this problem will come up, especially when you copy to a subfolder of a subfolder/subfolder of another path ...adds to character limit)
    2.  How do you know which combined file names + path names are too long if  you are in the  middle of a copy operation and this error pops up?  Some files copied but the "long files error message" says "skip" or "cancel" ... but not which
    files are the "too long" ones.  If you hit "skip" or "cancel" the "too long" files are left behind...but are mixed in with non-offender "good" "short name" files.   Sorting thru 1000s of "good" files to find a few "bad" ones manually is impractical.
    3.   Here's how you sort out the "bad" from the "good":
    4.    Let's say you want to copy a folder ..."Football" ...that has five layers of subfolders; each subfolder contains numerous files:
      C:/1 Football / 2 teams/ 3 players/ 4 stats/ 5 injuriessidelineplayerstoolong 
           There are five levels root "1 football" with subfolders  2, 3, 4 and lastly "5 injuries"
    5.    Use "cut" and "paste"  (for example to backup all five levels to a new backup folder):
           select "1 football" ....cut....select target folder....paste 
           ("cut" command means as the files are copied to the target destination, the file is deleted from the source location)
          Hint: avoid "cut" and "paste" to a target folder that is itself a sub/sub/sub folder ...that compounds the "characters over the limit" problem ...because the characters in the sub/sub/sub folder are included in the "file name
    character limit"...instead "paste" to a C:/ root directory.
           Suppose in the middle of this operation...error pops up: "5 files have file names that are too long"  Skip or cancel?
           select "skip"  ...and let operation finish
    6.    Now go back and look at the source location: since the software allows only the "good" "short name" files to be copied (and because you "skipped" the "bad" "Long name" files so they are not copied or deleted) ...all that remains
    in the source location are the "bad" "long name files" (because "good" ones were deleted from the source location after the "cut" operation...the bad ones stick out like a sore thumb.
    7.   You will find ....all that remains in source folders are: the "bad" "too long" files; in this example the "bad" file is in level 5:
          C:/ 1 football / 2 teams /3 players /4 stats /5 injuriessidelineplayerstoolong
    8.   select folder 5 injuriessidelineplayerstoolong (that's right...select folder, not file) gotta rename the folder first.
    9.  hit F2 rename folder..folder name highlighted...delete some of the letters in the folder name:
           like this:   5 injuriessidelineplayers  ....you should delete 'toolong'....from the folder name
    10.  then go into folder 5....and do the same operation ...with the too long file name:
            hit F2 rename file....file name hightlighted...delete some of the letters
               like this:  injuriessidelineplayers.....you should delete 'toolong' from the file name
    11.  Now..."cut and paste"  the renamed file to the target backup folder.  
    The Error message will pop up again if you missed any "bad" files....for example, it will indicate "5 files too long" ....then repeat process 5 times until you fix all of them
    12.     Finally, copy the target destination files back to the source location (when you are certain all source location file folder locations are empty) 
    Of course, this "makeshift" solution would not be necessary if MSFT would fix the problem...

  • "Copying Music failed. The filename was too long or invalid."

    I've been trying to 'consolidate library' inorder to get all my music held and managed under Itunes so I can delete it from other places on my computer & avoid holding multiple copies (in line with Chris CA's guidance in this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2812666?start=0&tstart=0)
    All goes well until I get to the 'consolidate library' step, it starts off copying files & seems to be going alright, then at some point I get the error message :"Copying Music failed. The filename was too long or invalid."
    This error message doesn't help me much as I've no idea where to go from here. I've tried consolidating library twice now and got the same message each time.
    I'm assuming there must be some way to either fix it or identify the file causing the issue?
    Thanks

    Unconsolidated should now give you a much shorter list, presumably the difficult track will be either first or last in this list...
    I've written a script called DeDuper which can help remove unwanted duplicates. See this  thread for background. You'll probably have to disable the progress bar again.
    It only works on files connected to iTunes that have identical tag info. If you're not certain it might pay to make sure first using iTunes Folder Watch to scan for files that are in the media folder but not in the library. It also has a "scan for dead tracks on startup" option with detects missing files.

  • HT1751 Consolidating ITunes Library Failed - message received: "Copying files failed. The file name was invalid or too long" . Please help - how to i fix this issue?

    I consulted your website for details on how to back up my ITunes Library on my PC-found the article very helpful-I reached step 7 - clicked ok and the following message came up: "Copying files failed. The file name was invalid or too long."  Please can you help and advise what I should do or how to fix this issue.   My pc operating system is Windows 7 Home Basic

    You can select a group of tracks and consolidate from the right-click context menu. You coud try consolidating in batches, say all songs by artists beginning with A, then B, etc, then the other media types, until you can isolate a problem track and then try moving that by hand and fixing the broken link.
    I also have two scripts that could help you, Unconsolidated and ConsolidateByMoving. The first can make a playlist of all unconsolidated tracks, the second can consolidate a selection of tracks by moving them instead of copying.

  • I cannot copy files from Macbook to Iomega hard drive

    I wanted to use my Iomega hard drive on my macbook for the first time but I cannot copy any files.
    Can anybody provide me with the steps I have to do to configure the Iomega (formerly used on a PC)
    for the Macbook?
    Thanks

    If you want to use the drive exclusively on your Mac - and not a Mac and PC - open Disk Utility (Applications>Utilities folder), click on the drive to be erase, and format it as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" with a single GUID partition and give it a new name. It should only take a minute or so (depending on the size of the drive) to format.
    Call back if you have any problems.
