Getting this error when saving: Names longer than 31 characters are not supported on the destination volume

I've just tried to save a document in Pages and got this error
Names longer than 31 characters are not supported on the destination volume
Never had a problem like this before. I haven't changed disks or formatted disks. Running latest Yosemite 10.10
The only reference I can find to this error on the internet says that it's for applications prior to OS X which I think we can discount.
The only other reference I can find in the support community relates to one person with problems saving attachments in Mail and dates from early 2014.
Can anybody give me a suggestion on what I might need to do?
Thanks

What format are you saving to?
Where are you saving the files to and what is that volume formatted as?
Have you tested with files from other applications, such as TextEdit?

    I am reciving intermittent errors saving attachments from mail: "Names longer than 31 characters are not supported on the destination volume."

    Very spooky. Not always reproducible, but it happened to me while using Office365-Outlook web-based email (saving a PDF).
    RE: the suggestion, checking security box "allow apps downloaded from all sites" I would really rather not do that.
    On my system it is set to allow "Mac App store and identified developers."
    Oh sorry, I'm on Yosemite, I see this is Mav forum...

  • I keep getting this error when trying to backup time capsule with time machine. The backup disk image "/Volumes/Data-1/Dan's iMac.sparsebundle" is already in use.

    I keep getting this error when trying to backup time capsule with time machine. The backup disk image “/Volumes/Data-1/Dan’s iMac.sparsebundle” is already in use.

    Make sure that no other Macs are backing up at the time.
    Pull the power cable from the back of the Time Capsule
    Count to ten
    Plug the power cable back into the back of the Tme Capsule
    Wait a few minutes, then try a backup again.

    I updated my Mac and now I can't open any of my Microsoft programs.  What happened?

    Lion does not support PPC applications.  You will have to install newer versions or use them with Snow Leopard.

    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get itunes to launch properly afterwards?

    This is the only action script 3.0 script that I wrote.

        skipbtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btnClick);
    function btnClick (event:MouseEvent):void{
        skipbtn.gotoAndPlay("home");

    the first line is a warning, not an error.
    and you have more actionscript than you think.  open the movie explorer panel and toggle the actionscript only button to find all the actionsript in your fla.

  • Same thing is happening to me. Adobe has not responded to anyone about this error. It appears that Abobe XI is not compatible with IE 11.  I do not get this error when I use Chrome or Firefox. Only IE 11 does this. I have tried clearing cache and cookies.

Only IE 11 does this. I have tried clearing cache and cookies. I even uninstalled and re-installed IE 11. It is still doing it.  I am surprized that a company like Adobe would just ignore our posts and leave us hanging this this.
    Error message is FAILED TO GET DISPATCH FROM IBRWSR2.  Then when you click on it the next error message says:  PHTML IS NULL. You have to click this error message twice and then the PDF finally loads. Happened every time
    Does anyone have a solution since Adobe will not respond?
    As a last resort I will try uninstalling the Adobe Reader XI and install Adobe Reader 10 instead. It seems to work ok. But when I try to install version 10 the Adobe site tries to install XI.  Any ideas?

  • TS3989 I keep getting this error when I click on the link inviting me to join a Photo Stream: "An error occurred while joining the Photo Stream. Please try again later. "

    I keep getting this error when I click on the link inviting me to join a Photo Stream: "An error occurred while joining the Photo Stream. Please try again later."
    I was the one who set up the Photo Stream and sent the link to myself. I called Apple and they said I did everything right and the server must be temporarily down, but it has been the same for the better part of a day.

    None of the fixes above worked for me.  Continued getting the "try again" error message. 
    Tryed a bunch of things, such as going directly to icloud on Safari to open the mail message, no luck.
    Tryed the following;
    Went to iCloud and logged in via Safari, clicked on my account name in top right corner, selected "Advanced" on drop down menu, and selected "Reset Photo Stream".
    Turned off Photo Stream on all devices and iPhoto.
    Turned on Shared Photo Stream option on Mac iCloud preferences.
    Tried the "Join This Photo Stream" button in my Mac Mail app .me account again.
    Still got the error message.
    Forwarded the original mail message to a yahoo account, selected "Join this Photo Stream" in the yahoo account mail (still in my Mac Mail app), and lo and behold, iPhoto opened and displayed the photos. 
    Could be this would have worked right from the start.
    Oh yea, still get the "try again" message if I click on the Photo Stream button in my .me account.

    "command not found" means ... there is no such thing.

    I would get an external drive today and copy all your stuff off the TC.. forget trying to load more onto it. There is a good chance after 3years (A 2TB should be only about 2years tops), the disk or the TC itself is on the way out. Do it immediately. If TM is also failing to backup you need to recognise symtoms of impending doom.
    Unfortunately the error messages are archane and it is hard to discover their meaning.
    You also cannot verify a network drive.. you can verify the TM sparsebundle though so do that.
    A5. http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
    Reboot the whole network from off.. certainly if you run later OS it can simply lose the drive..
    If you still fail to be able to copy to the TC.. then get that external and copy off it. Tell us if you can do that.
