File name length causing problems

I want to use my iPod suffle as a data transfer device as well as a MP3 player and am havign real problems copying folders onto it from my iBook or my desktop G4. Is it the file name lengths that are the pprblem (that's certainly the error message I get sometimes). Or the volume of data that I am trying to copy in one hit (400MB-worth)?

It seems there is no restrictions in filename's maxlength.
However, if you check the section 2.3 of this link
[http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2183.html|http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2183.html]
It says:
It is important that the receiving MUA not blindly use the suggested
filename.  The suggested filename SHOULD be checked
(and possibly changed) to see that it conforms to local filesystem conventions,
does not overwrite an existing file, and does not present a security problem
(see Security Considerations below).I tried to test filename's maxlength with different browsers and found that results differ with browsers.
The HTTP response header nevertheless contained the full filename.
Above all, IMO avoiding long filename is the best solution.

  • File Name Length

    Hi All,
    While down loading .csv file, i can get my file name length dynamicallly upto 157 bytes but not getting more than that.
    I have a requirement to download very long file name. Can any one please suggest me a good solution?.
    My code is
    response.setContentType(contentType);

  • My Logic file name length changed

    For some reason, Logic started limiting my file name lengths to 31 characters.  This was never an issue before.  I could always use much longer names.  About a week ago, for no apparent reason, it started limiting the length and truncating the names to only 31 characters. Anyone know if this is a bug or is there a setting somewhere that i don't know about.   I'm on OSX 10.6.8.  There is no problem with creating long file names outside of Logic 9.0.0

    This has always been so in Logic. It never suddenly "started"...
    But it was fixed in version 9.1.0, which came out
    almost three years ago
    and is a free update for every LP 9 owner...
    You really should update, there's no reason not to. If you're on a PPC (G4 or G5), you can only go to 9.0.2 (still worth it), if on an Intel Mac (2006 and later), you can go to 9.1.8; this will improve things for you, and also end the 31 charachter limit, which was an atavism.

  • Add arabic file names to ZipOutputStream problem

    Its a warning. You can ignore it, and your program will run correctly.
    To get the full details, follow the instructions and run it with Xlint:
    javac -Xlint:unchecked beans\CustomerManager.javaProduces this error message:
    beans\CustomerManager.java:19: warning: [unchecked] unchecked call to add(E) as a member of the raw type java.util.List
                rv.add(getCustomer(String.valueOf(i)));
                      ^
    1 warningIt is a Java1.5 specific warning because you are not using the new Generics info with the collections.
    Here is the version that compiles with no warnings whatsoever.
    package beans;
    import java.util.ArrayList;
    import java.util.List;
    public class CustomerManager
        public List<Customer> getCustomers()
            return generateCustomers();
        private List<Customer> generateCustomers()
            List<Customer> rv = new ArrayList<Customer>();
            for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
                rv.add(getCustomer(String.valueOf(i)));
            return rv;
        public Customer getCustomer(String id)
            return new Customer(id, id + "First", "Last" + id,
                "123 Caroline Road Fooville");
    }Basically the change was everywhere you have List or ArrayList replace it with List<Customer> - meaning you have a List of customer objects, rather than just a List of "anything"
    If you are compiling with jdk1.5, then anywhere you use a Collection without specifying the types in this manner, it will create a warning.
    You can ignore the warning if you so wish, and the program should run fine.

  • File Name Changes, Sorting Problem

    Hi,
    iTunes 10.5.1
    MacBook Pro Snow Leopard
    I am attempting to add a series of lectures to iTunes. These number about 100 and are sequential over 3 volumes. I obtained them in simple forlders labeled vol1, vol2 and vol3 and each track is named with a prefix such as "V1 Ch03 Relation of Physics to other Sciences.mp3". Oddly about half actually retain the full name and sort out properly but the rest do not. For instance the example in question becomes " Relation of Physics to other Sciences.mp3" and not sorting tricks can get them in order.
    Before I starting fooling with the names is there somethign else I can do? I have turned off "automatically check for track names" option on iTunes but the same result. Are the spaces causing problems? I don't want to change the names as I would like to share these and others won't figure out the sequence.
    There doesn't seem to be an option for date created sorting which may solve the issue. Also iTunes seems to be reading some meta data as the "album name" changes. It seems the lectures were originally released in a different series and recently compiled in the order created, the latter being preferrable.
    Any help appreciated!
    Happy Holidays!

    Oops, Just realised I put this n the wrong forum. Just to clarify this is prerecorded video files.

  • File name length in Windows 7

    What is the max length of the drive+folders+fileName in Windows 7??
    Experimentally I get 219 characters but answers on the web seem to indcate the older 250-260 length. If mine are too long I get a popup window saying "XXX could not be found. Check the spelling of the file name, and verify that the file location is correct"

  • A problem with a parameter name.(% causing problems)

    Hello,
    I wrote a following sql query and it works fine except for parameters like drying%Total, drying%,. The reason is that in the name of parameters there is a wildcard used %.

    Could you please tell me what should be amended in order an Oracle would treat % as a normal character and not a wildcard?
    Thank you in advance for your help.

    Hello,

    If in decode % is treated as a part of parameter name then what about this part of my sql query
    WHERE parametercode IN ('DRYING','DRYING%Total','DRYING%')
    Is % treated as a wildcard?I think it is. Why do you think that?
    '%' is a wildcard only in the right-operand of LIKE. The '%' characters in the expression above are not in the right-operand of a LIKE operation. (In fact, the expression doesn't include LIKE at all.) Therefore, the '%' signs above are not treated as wildcards.
    Include in your sample data some examples where the condition above is not doing what you expect. Be sure to post the entire query, too; the part that causes the unexpected results might be something completely unconnected to the WHERE clause posted above.
    Could you please tell me what to do so it would not be treated as a widlcard but as a integral part of a parameter name.You don't have to do anything.
    Consider this example:
    CREATE TABLE     table_x
    (     x_id          NUMBER (4)
    ,     parametercode     VARCHAR2 (30)
    INSERT INTO table_x (x_id, parametercode) VALUES (0,  NULL);
    INSERT INTO table_x (x_id, parametercode) VALUES (1,  'DRYING');
    INSERT INTO table_x (x_id, parametercode) VALUES (2,  'DRYING%Total');
    INSERT INTO table_x (x_id, parametercode) VALUES (3,  'DRYING%');
    INSERT INTO table_x (x_id, parametercode) VALUES (11, 'DRYINGFOO');

    INSERT INTO table_x (x_id, parametercode) VALUES (13, 'DRYINGFOOTotal');
    INSERT INTO table_x (x_id, parametercode) VALUES (14, 'FOO');
    SELECT     *
    FROM     table_x
    WHERE      parametercode IN ( 'DRYING'

    ;Output:
    .     X_ID PARAMETERCODE
             1 DRYING
             2 DRYING%Total
             3 DRYING%Is this what you expect? If not, what is?

  • Strange and fatal file name / root folder problem. Please help!

    Hi there. I wonder if anybody could help me!
    I am using CS4 but this problem still occurred in CS3. When I
    set up a new site in Dreamweaver I go through the usual motions
    selecting the local root folder and images folder. Then when I go
    into the new site it creates an initial site cache as usual. After
    this (when I try to upload anything for example) the cache seems to
    have disappeared (i.e. all local files disappear in DW). It tells
    me that I should go through setting up the site process again but
    this only ends up going round in circles!
    Curiously, when I look at my HD in finder, Dreamweaver has
    created a new folder named "Macintosh HD" and inside it follows the
    exact same file structure as the "real" local files except the
    website files do not exist inside the root folder!
    I can not understand what is going on here. I suspect it
    might be something to do with the locations of files and relative /
    absolute linking on the HD?
    Please help if you can! Thanks.

    What is the NAME of your hard drive? Does it (or any
    intermediate folder)
    contain unusual characters (apostrophes, parentheses, etc.)?

  • Choose folder and count files : ALIAS returned causes problem

    Hello,
    I have a basic choose folder command and I want to count files contained in the returned folder, I also want to do other things within that folder afterwards.
    Alas, Applescript returns what it calls an ALIAS to the" choose folder" command, so that it can't count anything, it can't even give its REAL name ...
    How could I get the REAL folder as a result , count its items, get its path, instead of that poorly documented ALIAS I can't make anything with ?
    Thanks very much. I've been digging for a while now.

    Use a construct such as:
    set this_folder to choose folder
    tell application "Finder"
    count items of (folder this_folder)
    end tell

  • File association error causing problems with ms/office update file download

    While I was finding my way around OSX I made the error of selecting a wrong file type association when trying to install MS Office 2008. I associated their installer file with the 'Console' utility and now, when Office 2008 wants to auto-update, it downloads a file (to where, I can't tell) and then tries to install it using Console.
    I understand the method of changing file associations when you have a file of the appropriate type, using file info, and Open With (tick 'Always Open With This App').... but this is not a blanket association... I have to associate it specifically with the MS Office Installation files... and because they are downloaded in the background, I can't find them to use this method.
    I also understand that the settings for file associations are stored in this file: ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices.plist.
    But I can't edit this without knowing what I'm doing
    Can anyone advise?
    Thanks!

    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices.plist
    If you like, you can move that to the desktop and the next time you run the same process, a new one will be created.
    If for any reason this borks other settings, you can put the original back if you need to, but I believe you'll be fine, in which case then simply delete the original.
    Don't bother editing it since you lack those skills, etc.

  • Missing Breadcrumbs Caused by Similar File Names

    Using RH9
    Producing both WebHelp and HTML Help (with missing breadcrumbs the same in both)
    Using only the SSL option to generate the breadcrumbs
    As in some previously posted cases, a few topics in a large project are missing breadcrumbs. There are no quotation marks or other unsual characters in the file names or titles. I was able to narrow down one error to something I could fix in a test project.
    In the following HHC entries, the breadcrumbs were missing from the "General Ledger Processing Recap (AM72)" topic when the help was generated. (Everything after the second item is a bookmarked TOC entry, with no breadcrumbs expected, but I left those items in the example in case they make a difference.)

    But when I changed the file name of the parent topic from General_Ledger_Options.htm to GenLdgrOpt.htm, the breadcrumbs appeared correctly in the output for the parent and child topics.
    This stragegy for fixing the breadcrumb problem seems to be hit-or-miss. For example, I've tried the same approach to fix another topic and have had no success so far. Is there anything about how breadcrumbs are generated that would explain how renaming the file would fix the problem?

    Rick,
    I think you are right about the file name length being an important factor, but the cause doesn't seem to be as simple as a too-deep nesting level. I was able to fix the problem in another topic by shortening the file name of the topic that preceded it at the same level.
    The one hard case that remains is a topic that contains a lot of bookmarked subheadings. I found that if I cut that topic's number of subheading TOC entries to 33, the breadcrumbs for the topic worked, but with 34 TOC entries, they did not. My best guess is that there is a limitation of some kind on the internal aggregation of TOC information -- including information about siblings and children.
    By the way, I also tried inserting breadcrumb placeholders, instead of automatically generating them. That caused RoboHelp to crash (instead of just failing to add breadcrumbs to the offending topic). When I removed the placeholder from the bad topic, it worked OK with the other topics.

  • File name punctuation WILL cause MP3 and DVD burn errors – workaround?

    OK, I’ve seen TONS of questions about problems burning MP3 format CDs and DVD. I’ve been having this problem for quite a while and today I just got ****** off enough to do some deep research. I seek to share my finding and suggestions for work arounds.
    THE PROBLEM
    iTunes can burn regular CDs since the song file name is not actually put on the CD. The CD or DVD burner work for burning audio discs and with other applications. All the burn preferences are set correctly and have been validated. But when you attempt to burn an MP3 CD or DVD (for backup, transfer or for player that play MP3 discs), iTunes may do the following:
    Checking media (iTunes will ask: “You have inserted a DVD. Are you sure you want to create a Data DVD? answer yes, it’s a blank DVD disc in a working DVD burner)
    Checking playlist
    Burning disc… initializing
    "The attempt to burn a disc failed. An unknown error occurred (xxxx).”
    THE CAUSE
    Many times the error is due to song, album or artist names with unacceptable punctuation in them. iTunes does not tell you why and the error message and Google searches and Apple support/discussion forum details are sketchy… but in most cases its “illegal” punctuation in the song name, artist or album. I isolated at lest the apostrophe ‘ there are probably other illegal name punctuations too.
    The cause my be explained by Apple following ISO or Joliet file name specifications or file name length specifications for CD or DVD discs. But since this appears to be undocumented (to the iTunes user) there is a need to understand the restrictions to allow error free disc burning.
    THE CHALLENGE
    Even if the playlist name does not have punctuation, if ANY playlist song name/artist/album does, the DVD burn will fail. Removing the offending songs from the playlists results in a successful burn but hey, I WANT those other songs too!
    POSSIBLE WORK AROUNDS
    Changing actual song file name – even if you change the name in iTunes (Get Info, Info, change name, artist, album) the actual song file names are not updated and continue to have the punctuation error resulting in a burn failure.
    It appears that the actual file name needs to be changed. This can be a challenge. If you change only the file name you need to add modified file back into iTunes and the old file link is now broken. This is a bigger problem if that song file is in multiple playlists (the old ones are broken and the new one needs to be substituted). This is a REAL problem if you have 2,800 songs with an ‘ in them (like I do).
    LETS WORK TOGETHER AND SHARE RESULTS
    I’ve seen many, many unanswered questions about iTunes CD and DVD burning problems that will likely be solved if we can collectively develop and document a workaround. So, here is
    THE QUESTION
    What is the best way to rename (or retag) MP3 song files to eliminate punctuation and update iTunes and playlists so these songs can be burned to CD or DVD without violating the undocumented illegal punctuation restriction? The work around may differ for OS X vs Windows users so help on both would be appreciated.
    Thank you all in advance for your help!

    been searching myself to create my own cdg for use in universal karaoke players. Kjams appears to offer the most hope for all I want to do. although there's something new now called Aria which promises to do a bunch of stuff for 79 $. Otherwise, all that I want to do as listed by the original poster, would cost me Kjams lite, plus the burn plug in is extra, plus I'd need the kjams producer as I would be building a cdg by adding the synced lyrics to something I've removed the vocal from, on Audacity program. if I go with Kjams, those 3 softwares, it will cost me 150, while I'm so jealous all those PC karaoke singers have free software for karaoke they can download.
    I've been buying my cdg discs at 1.99 a pop, but they don't have special songs I want to perform. Aria for Mac might just do it all but I don't need the "scratch" sound they are pushing. that makes me steer away from the software.
    experimenting with the Imac 10.6 idvd movie quicktime might work. I made a few cdg but have not tried them in the club karaoke machine yet. I added the lyrics to tuneprompter which is a free software that lets you add and sync the lyrics to the music with the spacebar. thats fun. but it's all in experimental thing so far. I know Kjams does not let you add lyrics and sync them yourself. you are supposed to import cdg to kjams that are already available and pay for them. in this case I want to find my own special tunes. good luck to you. there's one other thing but it's expensive. buying software which turns your mac into a windows platform by partiioning it and you start up in one or the other. that's also about 100-150 software.

  • Problem with file name r�servation.txt

    I am facing a strange problem. I have a file named r�servation.txt. File.isFile() method returns true for this file on Windows, but on linux it returns false. I am using SUSE Linux 10 version. As you can see, there is an extended character (�) in the file name which causes the issue.
    Could anyone please help resolving the problem?

    Rename the file? IMHO, filenames with special characters and white spaces and all that are nothing but a nuisance, but that's just my opinion...
