Error message: file name invalid or too long. How do I fix this when uploading my purchased cd's???

Error message when importing a commercial CD: "file name invalid or too long". How do I fix this????

To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store you can find it in your Purchases List.

"Copying Music Failed - File name invalid or too long." HELP!

I desperately need to consolidate my music before my computer says goodbye for all eternity. It seems I can't consolidate my music because apparently, the file name is too long or invalid. I even got this program that was supposed to help me seek out the ones with too long file names. So I deleted those songs and it still won't work. And after I got the new iTunes the other day, I set it to add all new songs automatically into the iTunes Music Folder. However, it seems my iTunes is a little screwed up, because whenever I add a song with a long file name, it automatically shortens it down. For example if I add a song with the named "20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Smokey Robinson & The Miracles - Smokey Robinson & The Miracles - Ooo, Baby Baby", which is obviously a very long name, it will shorten it down to about the first 4 or 5 words. I naturally shorten it down to just "Ooo, Baby Baby" myself, but I'm thinkin this whole error may have something to do with the fact that the library won't consolidate.
I'm in desperate need of help here - come to my rescue, please!

Well, aren't you lucky I signed in tonight? Sometimes you just have to be patient and wait until a person who might know an answer shows up.
I have had problems with Consolidate too, and getting that stupid error message when the file name was not too long.
The consolidate function starts copying things over by Date Added, with the older ones getting copied first. First in, first out.
What I finally had to do was look in Windows Explorer for the target (new) drive and see the last file that was successfully copied. Let's call it Carole King.
Then I went into iTunes and sorted by Date Added to see the file just AFTER the Carole King file. In my case, it was La Bohème and iTunes had filed it in the Compilations folder. I selected all the tracks and unchecked the Compilations box. This made iTunes move it out of the Compilations folder
The Consolidate worked after I moved that file.

When i go to burn a dvd, it gives an error message "menu duration exceeds 15 minutes." how can i fix this??

When I go to burn a dvd, imovie displays an error message, "menu duration exceeds 15 minutes. How do I fix?

You may have too many chapters (scene selections), or perhaps one or more of the menus are looping for too long. Each menu in its standard form generally runs for no more than 30 seconds before repeating. In any of the menus have you inserted your own music that runs for a much longer duration? If so, using the Inspector, reduce the music time to 30 seconds (there is a slider you can adjust).
Regarding chapters - how many do you have in the project? You may need to delete some markers in your iMovie project. In most of the iDVD themes each scene selection page allows up to 6 scenes. So, for example, if you have 50 scenes marked, the theme would require 9 scene selection pages. I really don't know what the maximum is, but clearly you've run over the 15 minute limit for the iDVD menus. It may be a combination of too many chapters and music looping for too long on one or more of the menus.

Im having trouble launching my itunes library, Everytime i try to launch it an error message appears and says "New Itunes Libraray" How do i fix this? I dont want to lose all my music

Anybody else having a problem saying "new itunes library"? this happened out of the blue, and i have tried numerous things, but i can not get into my itunes at all.

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

I open iTunes and I received this error message (-45054), then my iTunes closes. How can I fix this?

After the latest update I did, 23Oct2013 7:30pm PT, my iTunes no longer opens up without the error message (-45054). I click "ok" to acknowledge the message and it immediately closes iTunes with no further information. Any help would be greatly appreciated, expecially if it's an actual employee of Apple. They seem to be way to into the user-helping-user system they need to step up.

Hi,
re: the dialogue: You do not have enough access privileges for this operation Error code -45054
A fellow musican I know had an identical issue with this and asked me to check it out. I fixed it and wrote a long set of instructions on my blog. His problem was with 10.6 but it was an update he did preparing to move to Mavericks.
I was able to reproduce the error by just removing the /Shared folder from /Users
Here is the link to the problem and the instructions on how I fixed1t

All excel attachment files in Outlook web app (email) are renamed "attachment.ashx", losing their original file names. Why? And how do I fix this?

While the email displays the attachment with the "original file name.xls", when I click and download, it is called "attachment.ashx", and I lose all the original downloaded file names. This started happening about 3 weeks ago after a Firefox update. Suggestions for a fix?

Outlook Web Access sends illegal Content-Disposition headers and this is no longer allowed in Firefox 8. The server needs to be fixed.

I can't search anything- mapquest etc error message is always search has( timed out) how do I fix this?t

. If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy , make sure that firefox is permitted to access Web.
I have done all these- still have no access to search

Well, shucks, i just spent almost 30 minutes trying to find your model user guide to explain it better, I guess they never got around to making it.....
I would just borrow another Windows disk and try installing it again and if it does it again then you might take it to an Apple Store and see if one of the "Genius' " can figure it out.
Make sure your internet is enabled and click on your blank desktop and at the top of your screen is a Help menu option, enter PRAM and it should give you a list of things relating to Pram. It may take a few seconds to list anything as it has to connect to Apples severs first. It should list the things you may have to fill back in when your done.
"P-ram" stores some common information that is used in the background, your date, time, startup disk, etc, that you don't have to re-fill when you restart, it's a little different for each computer.

I am getting error message windows saying "ininstall set" constantly. How can I fix this problem

When I opened Firefox4 today it opened with an add-on page and an error message box with an exclamation point saying "uninstall set". I can do nothing in Firefox until I close these windows. This seems to occur on things that can be clicked on to open information.
Any help would be appreciated.

Lightroom 5 will not sort images properly, either by file name or capture time. How can I fix this issue?

I am using Lightroom 5 with OSX 10.9.2 and the sorting feature is not working properly. When I try to sort my library by file name or capture time, it does not sort properly. The order of images is mixed and stays that way, even after reboot. The file information is correct, the sorting is the only issue. The library is approximately 6,000 images and I am also using a plug in with the Publishing Service feature. Any help on how to fix this issue without losing my editing work done on the library would be appreciated. Thanks! Dan

Thanks! I'm trying to sort by capture time or file name, and neither sorts correctly. file names 3450, 3451, etc. before files 0234, 0235, etc. It makes no sense. Same with capture time. Times are accurate in meta data, but sorting is just wrong. I'm using a ShootProof plug in that is only used for uploading files to the web. The issue is in the main library folder, so I'm not sure the plugin has anything to do with it. Any sort I seem to choose: capture time ascending order, file name descending order, whatever, yields a different yet inaccurate sort. The below sort is flagged, by file name ascending order. This is the bottom of the list where it goes from file brigitte_terry_w6408... to brigitte_terry_film_0039... to brigitte_terry_w2825... Regardless of the 'film' file, the w2825... files should be displayed above w6408. Thanks for any help!

Error message :ORA-01704: string literal too long

Hello:
I need your help. I have a long long string must be insert to
database. I use long data type and long varchar data type to
define table. But I got the error messages is ORA-01704: string
literal too long when I insert data. Please tell me the solution.
Thank you so so much.

Hello,
I have a table with a column "XML_Data" of type CLOB.
I am trying to insert XML of the size 59975. I
get a error message ORA-01704: string literal too
long.
How to enter that large XML??
Regards,
Sanjeev.Try using Oracles XMLDB, by dropping the XML file into the XMLDB WebDAV area and then you can access it directly through the database "resource_view". No limits on file size whatsoever.
If you're using XML within an Oracle database you're better off doing things this way as it gets stored in an XMLType column (sys.xmltype) which is a superset object of the CLOB datatype, providing all the object methods you need to navigate, update and query your XML. You won't be able to do much with it just sitting in a CLOB column without re-writing the wheel that Oracle have already built.
