IMAP4 folder path support seems to be broken.

Hi,
is seems that the IMAP4 support is not working properly. At least with the E60 and the E71 the following happens:
IMAP4 folder path is set to: INBOX. (with the dot!)
Expected imap4 command to get the folder list:
LIST "" "INBOX.%"
but the mobile client sends:
LIST "" "INBOX.\\%"
which is wrong (as far as I understand) and does not work.
Any ideas how I can force the client to send the correct command?
kind regards,
matthias

Same problem Here!
No one Folder Path configuration is working for me!
With my GMX account no problem, because all the folders are based in the root.
But with my ARUBA business account, all the folders are placed inside the INBOX and there is no way to have my E71 to download the folders in my emai IMAP INBOX account!!!
For many reasons I don't wanna use any add-on email client, neither the nokia messaging.
I need to use mu E71 Built-in email client.
Is it possible at Nokia, they don'y know about this?
Is it possible no one in the world experienced this and there's no workaround?
Do we all have to move to the everyday more tempting iPhone....???????

ITunes fails to install update "folder path program files contains an invalid character"

I'm trying to get the newest version of itunes, but I keep getting "the folder path program files contains an invalid character." I've seen on here before attempts to use Microsoft fix it and Windows Clean up which I've tried and both haven't helped. I've gone to youtube and tried to delete the appropriate folders under the registry edit. Nothing seems to work. I need the new itunes to update my iphone because of the recent hardware crash via the new update.

At what stage in the process does this occur?
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

[Solved] Error : The file or folder path /Probl?me 1 does not exist

Hello,
I encountered this error
The file or folder <path>/Probl?me 2 does not exist
while I was trying to open a directory already extracted from a zip file containing directories with special characters. In this case, it is a "è" that was misinterpreted as a "?".
I searched the forums and on google, the solutions proposed do not work for me. Although, I have to deal with these files written in french, I would like to have my locale in english (US), with a system wide support for special characters.
Attempt 1: Adding the option : iocharset=utf8 into the fstab, like this :
fstab :

#/dev/sda12 /mnt/archive ext4 defaults 0 2
#.host:/ /mnt/hgfs vmhgfs defaults 0 0
This solution does not work, because after adding iocharset=utf8, in front or after a "defaults", after a reboot, while mounting the filesystem, there is the following error message:
Mounting Locale Filesystem :

It is complicated to remove these directories. I had to use the inum to get precisely these directories before removing them.
$ ls -il
total 8
1577566 drwxr-xr-x 2 [username] [username] 4096 28 jan 07:09 Probl?me 1
1577573 drwxr-xr-x 2 [username] [username] 4096 28 jan 07:09 Probl?me 2
$ find . -inum 1577566 -exec rm -i {} \;
rm: impossible de supprimer « ./Probl\212me 1 »: est un dossier
Note that the hypothetical character 'è' is represented has a '\212', a 'È' if seen as a extended ASCII character.
These directories cannot be deleted this way :
$ rm -r Problème\ 1
rm: cannot remove `Problème 1': No such file or directory
or
$ rm -r ProblÈme\ 1
rm: cannot remove `ProblÈme 1': No such file or directory
What should I do to be make the operating system recognize those special character, and interpret them correctly ?

I found a working solution, but better solution are also welcome
I had to have fr_CA not only in utf8 but also in iso88591. I had to modify the /etc/rc.conf this way :
LOCALE="fr_CA" <<<<<<<<<<<<<<
HARDWARECLOCK=""
TIMEZONE="America/Montreal"
KEYMAP="us"
CONSOLEFONT=
CONSOLEMAP=
USECOLOR="yes"
To preserve the english US language system wide, I had to add the following line in the /etc/profile :
# Allow french special character while in en_US
export LANG=en_US
The character misinterpreted by a "?" is now seen :
as a "è" in dolphin
as a "?" in the console
It is now possible to access the folders.

Update seems to have broken openbox theming.

I updated about 2 hours ago and it seems to have broken a lot of my window manager.
I use openbox as a standalone window manager and have had no issues so far.
I update every few days and today caused the resizing-freeze issue, so I downgraded the suggested packages which fixed that.
However I have another issue with theming.
Programs such as firefox, thunderbird, thunar etc... all have the correct theme. However I use some gnome programs such as rhythmbox and nautilus and neither of these are themeing correctly as well as terminator and all appear to have the default gnome theme.
I use obconf and lxappearence for themeing normally, however these seem to have no effect.
I've done a fair amount of searching and googling and am now very tired and am going to bed.
If anyone has any advice it would be much appreciated. If I am being stupid in my sleep deprived state please feel free to point it out XD.

Hi all. I'm also running Openbox and have done the following so far;
1. Installed gnome-themes-standard. Created a new folder ~/.config/gtk-3.0/; Created the file in the folder "settings.ini" with the following code;
[Settings]
gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme = true
gtk-theme-name = Adwaita
gtk-fallback-icon-theme = gnome
Thanks to the info on the thread here
2. Checked out the post here. Downloaded the tar of Adwaita from this.page and did the usual "makepkg -s" magic and rebooted.
What I'm now getting is nm-applet in tint2 with the dark theme of Adwaita which is great but doesn't really match my dark theme axiomd but it's better than before.
What I'm wondering is how to manage this in lxappearance, change font etc?? If I select the theme Adwaita it's a light theme? Having looked in the directory there is both gtk-2.0 (i think this is the light one?) and gtk-3.0.
I've also noticed that it is affecting rhythmbox; slow to load and the status icon setting in the plugins is missing, so you close the GUI and find the app quits rather than the previous behaviour where it would close but the notification icon would still run in tint2 enabling one click control access to the GUI again.
I appreciate this is obviously a new implementation and will take a bit of time to learn but any tips from those in the know would be great!? TIA.

\Folder path contains an invalid character. \

I bought and Ipad plugged it into my computer and itunes said i needed the newest version of itunes to run the ipad. So i tried downloading version 10.6.1 and it said errors occurred while installing updates.If problem persists choose tools>download only and install manually. So i did that and then it said folder path contains invalid character. and it wont let me install it. I contacted itunes support and they told me to uninstall itunes which i tried doing but once again the same message poped up folder path contains invalid character. Cant get apps i had before on ipad without syncing to itunes please help.

So i did that and then it said folder path contains invalid character. and it wont let me install it. I contacted itunes support and they told me to uninstall itunes which i tried doing but once again the same message poped up folder path contains invalid character.
Perhaps try the following user tip:
"not a valid short file name" and "invalid character" install errors

The Folder Path "My Documents contains an Invalid Character"

Hello.
I have a major problem at hand.
I presently have iTunes 7.6 on my Dell laptop
when i try installing itunes 7.7 or 7.7.1, it gives an error
"The folder path my documents contains an invalid character"
I scoured the internet, but to no avail...
Please help
Sometime back, the name of My Documents have been changed to "id" by mistake
Then itunes 7.6 also wasnt working.. Then i went to the registry and changed all the folder paths, and then it was working....
So, please help...
Thanks!

If the same problem occurs in another account, it suggests the message is misleading and the problem is not with My Documents itself.
That is unless you have changed the path c:\Documents and Settings which is common to all accounts.
It sounds as though there is a registry key set with corrupt information somewhere that you haven't found yet.
Something you could try is a complete removal of iTunes according to the following method. I have also included instructions for installer clean up which you should do if one of the uninstalls fails. I am guessing that the iTunes uninstall might fail with a similar message.
== uninstall with cleanup ==
Download a fresh copy of iTunes and the stand alone version of Quicktime
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install Microsoft Installer cleanup utility, there are instructions on the page as well as the download. Note that what you download is the installer not the program – you have to run it to install the program
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
Now use the following method to remove iTunes and its components:
XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Vista
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
If you hit a problem with one of the uninstalls don't worry, carry on with the deleting of files and folders as directed in the method.
When you get to deleting Quicktime files in the system32 folder as advised in the method, you can delete and file or folder called Quicktime.
Restart your PC.
Run the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility. (Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up)
Remove any references you find to the programs you removed - strictly speaking you only need to worry about those programs where the uninstall failed.
restart your PC
Install the stand alone Quicktime and check that it works.
If it does, install iTunes.

Error Message:The folder path 'Program Files' contains an invalid character

I have an 80G iPod. I never had a problem with the itunes program until I switched to Vista. When I try to open iTunes I get the following error message:
*The folder path 'Program Files' contains an invalid character*
I have itunes installed on both my HP and on an external hard drive that I use as my backup in case something goes wrong. Neither one opens and I get the same error message on both. I have tried to uninstall iTunes and then reinstall and get the same message so I can't uninstall.
I'm really frustrated, I need to get to my music for a huge presentation in a few days. Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance,
Jejo

Have you tried working through the steps in the General section of this article?
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1926

The folder path 'C:' contains an invalid character.

"The folder path 'C:' contains an invalid character."
I get this error message whenever I try to install iTunes 7.0.2.16 (the most recent version). I tell it to install with all the default paths, options, everything. I have tried changing the path to see if that fixes it but it unfortunately seems to have no effect on it.

i'm about two months out of date with the state of the art on treatments for this particular one. but there's a few possibilities we can follow up on until someone more up to date on this comes to rescue us.
let's first check on the InstallShield advice for the 1324 error. (you're not getting that number, but the error message is often a 1324 in disguise.)
see:
Error -1324: The Folder Path Contains an Invalid Character
if no joy there, we'll try the advice from the following MS kbase article. (although it's about a different application, it has been of some help in the past with this sort of error.)
You may receive one of three error messages when you try to install Streets and Trips or MapPoint
(typically i turn to that latter on when the invalid character message cites the My Pictures folder ... but it's probably worth a crack nonetheless.)

How to set the DVD Folder Path?

Hello, had a quick question regarding the folder path
variable when accessing DVD video files. When authoring, Director
seems to automatically add a hardcoded file Name to the cast member
properties, as well as a folder path to the DVD member properties.
So I am wondering how to handle this - obviously during
authoring the director DIR/projector is on the hard drive while the
video_ts is on the DVD disc. When deployed, everything will be on
the DVD of course.
During my first test, the projector was authored with the DIR
on the hard drive while the DVD was in the D: drive. When I swapped
the DVD to my other optical drive ( E: ) and restarted the
projector, it complained it could not find the video_ts folder. And
on a Mac it looked for a /Volumes/ path which I could not even
manually point the projector to.
So should I copy the video_TS to the hard drive so the
relative path between the projector and video_TS folder always
stays the same? Or does Director ignore the filepath at runtime and
always search the DVD drives on the host machine for a video_ts
folder,regardless of where it was during authoring? The
documetnation is a bit unclear on that part..and of course my goal
is that the projector find the video_ts folder on the DVD disc,
regardless of what drive letter/volume name it is on.
BTW, this approach -

I can... you cannot. I'm not sure why. It will not work on an app icon.
Are you sure you're doing this on a Folder?
Perhaps it is a function of Finder. You can try deleting Finder prefs to default.
Go to your Finder "Go" menu hold the option key and choose Library. Then go to Preferences folder and trash these files:
com.apple.finder.plist
com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
Then, restart, or log out and in again.
(You will have to reset a few finder prefs the way you like them.)

Can't Install iTunes, Folder Path error

Re: Invalid Drive: F:\
Posted: Nov 8, 2007 11:16 PM in response to: sneakymartian Reply Email
First off, I'm probably one of the least tech-savvy people in this forum. This issue has been plaguing me for the past week with no end in sight. I hunted around the net trying to find a straight answer and finally I came across something that worked.
NOTE: I'm running Windows XP so I can only speak for my success in that regard.
1) Click the Windows Start button.
2) Select "Run". (A drop down entry box will appear.)
3) Type "regedit" (DISCLAIMER: Proceed at your own risk. Editing the registry can be dangerous and cause even more problems to your operating system if you don't know what your doing, like me. That being said this solution still seemed fairly low risk to me, I took a chance and it worked beautifully.
4) You will now see the "Registry Editor" window pop open with a directory of folders. In the menu along the top click: Edit\Find...
5) In the "Find What" box enter the name of the drive that was giving you the error message. In my case it was "F:\" but it could be different on yours. (Example: "G:\" or "L:\", whatever the letter is of your "Invalid Drive" message.
6) Click the "Find Next" button.
7) Results will appear in the window to the right if there are any hits.
8) Read each result carefully and decide if it seems like it should be there. If it's obviously obsolete or does not belong then select it and delete it.
a) In my case I found about a half dozen items. Two of them were outdated folder directories that no longer existed (I had changed the path name a long time ago), while the remaining hits were all "WDSynch" items (Western Digital external hard drive application. "Passport" or some nonsense.)
NOTE: I am very suspicious of external hard drives as one of the culprits of the iTunes installation problem (Invalid Drive *:\, particularly Western Digital's "WDSynch" application. Almost every post I've read the person mentioned something about their external hard drive so I'd consider that possibility first.
I had tried using this bloated, non-user friendly "WDSynch" and "Passport" application when I first bought my WD external hard drive and discovered that I hated it. Don't get me wrong, the drive itself is great but just avoid the synch app nonsense unless you want deal with constant stress and headaches (Yes, it's a very jaded and biased view so take it or leave it).
After discarding the unfriendly-ware I wound up reformatting the drive anyway from FAT32 to NTFS and I now just use a simple drag-and-drop system for file transfers and copying. (You can leave it at FAT32 if you want, I just didn't like the partition restrictions.)
9) Do multiple searches to make sure you find every last little bugger (F3 will find the next one) so on and so forth until all evidence of that drive letter is gone.
10 Exit the Registry Edit.
11) Reboot your machine.
12) Try running the iTunes install again and it should work!
Disclaimer: This is my own experience with this problem so don't blame me if you mess up your computer. I was at my wits end and had nothing to lose so I took a chance and it paid off.
I wish all of you success. Good luck!

Bnoir i need your help! Folder path itunes.resources invalid character

Hey all,
I am trying to update a previous install of itunes, and get an error (with no error number) that says: "The folder path Itunes.resources contains an invalid character" followed by another popup error: "Problem with shortcut: fatal error during installation". I get the same error when trying to remove itunes in the control panel add/remove utility. Any ideas on how to fix this problem?
thanks in advance.

"Invalid character" messages usually seem to indicate that some of your registry entries are pointing to a different disk location than the files/folders referenced in the message are actually on.
I've got a link to specific instructions for these messages when they reference the "My Pictures" directory. However, rather than initially trying to adapt those to the itunes.resources case, let's see if we can instead get past this using the Windows Installer CleanUp utility.
let's try the following procedure.
First, head into your Add/Remove programs and uninstall your QuickTime. If it goes, good. If it doesn't, we'll just attend to it when we attend to iTunes.
Next, download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility:
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
Now launch Windows Installer CleanUp ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"), find any iTunes and/or QuickTime entries in the list of programs in CleanUp, select those entries, and click “remove”.
Next, we'll manually remove any leftover iTunes or QuickTime program files:
(1) Open Local Disk (C:) in Computer or whichever disk programs are installed on.
(2) Open the Program Files folder.
(3) Right-click the iTunes folder and select Delete and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion.
(4) Right-click the QuickTime folder and select Delete and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion. (Note: This folder may have already been deleted if QuickTime was successfully removed using Add/Remove Programs earlier.)
(5) Delete the QuickTime and QuicktimeVR files located in the C:\Windows\system32\ folder. Click Continue if Windows needs confirmation or permission to continue. (Note: These files may have already been deleted if QuickTime was successfully removed using Add/Remove Programs earlier.)
(6) Right-click on the Recycle Bin and on the shortcut menu, click Empty Recycle Bin.
(7) Restart your computer.
Now try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly now?

'The folder path "C:" contains an invalid character.' ERROR AS I INSTALL iTunes

hi
first of all, merry xmas to all that celebrate! i hope you had/have a memorable day!
and wishing everyone the very best for the new year.
Now, I have a problem when I try to install iTunes on my computer. I'm running:
- Windows Vista (Home Basic)
- iTunes 10.5.2.11
i have sufficient hard-drive space and sufficient ram. its definetly NOT from that. I originially DID HAVE iTunes already installed on my computer, but I was frequently having problems with establishing a connection through my iPhone 4. So I thought it would be a good idea to delete it and try downloading a new version, then install it fresh!
I have some computer skills and knowledge, and i know how "most" things work and run. But now I am totally stuck. I run the iTunes software to be installed, but the installer keeps giving me an error message and NOT installing. I've done all the easy and required steps after I deleted the original version of iTunes from my computer, and now I need help from someone who really knows their stuff in IT and computer software. I have a feeling it may be a string of codes that are corrupt or significantly different to what they should be, but thats just my guess! cos like i already said, ive tried all the common fixes already but have been unsuccessful thus far. Some of the things I did were:
- Restart the computer, re-boot, login to Windows, run the iTunes installation
- Turn off the computer, wait 10 minutes, re-boot and then run the iTunes installation
- Delete ALL the "Apple" company software that was still installed on my computer (QuickTime, iPhone Utility, iPod, Bonjour, etc etc)
- Confirm my "User Account Control" is OFF
- Run the iTunes installation file from my secondary windows login account (which has "Administrator" privilages)
- Create a new windows login account, turn off the UAC (User Account Control protection), then try installing iTunes
- Run disk-error checks on my hard-drives incase there are missing/corrupt/misplaced files that needed repair
etc etc etc etc
Nothing worked! THIS BELOW IS EXACTLY THE PROBLEM I KEEP GETTING WHEN I DOUBLE-CLICK ON THE iTUNES INSTALLER:
- Double click on the iTunes install icon
- The "Trusted File Security Warning/Confirmation" window appears, requesting I confirm to Run or Cancel the software installation. I click on "Run"
- A horizontal grey bar appears in the middle of the screen, and quickly fills up green
- Then a small installation windows appears (Windows Installer) that writes "Preparing to Install". Then it very fast writes a couple different sentences (which is normal), specifically the sentences are "Performing installation checks" and "Checking spacing requirements".
- immedietly after the previous step, another window appears and I hear the "error" audio tone. The ERROR MESSAGE has the Yellow Triangle logo with an exclamation mark in the middle, and beside it displays the following text (and Ive attatched the screen shot too):
THE FOLDER PATH "C:" CONTAINS AN INVALID CHARACTER
then below this message theres the "OK" button which I have no choice but to click on. then the next window that appears is as follows (see screenshot), and it reads:
iTunes Installer Completed
The installer encountered errors before iTunes could be configured.
Errors occured during installation. Your system has not been modified.
Please run the installer again, or click Finish to exit
Please I beg you guys to help me, I will be extremely grateful for ALL and ANY advice/tips/assistance/solutions I receive. And would owe you one for sure!!
Please feel free to write your opinions and thoughts on what I could do different, as Ive used up all my knowledge regarding the matter, and have seriously hit a brick wall now.
Thanks so so so much, and once again I wish everyone the absolute very best!
regards.

Resolution:
Check for the existence of a hidden folder named %appdata% in the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Application Virtualization\Client folder. (You will need to un-check the folder options box in windows explorer for "Hide
protected operating system files" to see it)
If the hidden %appdata% folder exists, delete it.
Proceed to uninstall the App-V client
After a clean uninstall and removal of remnants of the client, reinstall the client again and apply the latest hotfix available (Hotfix 2 for SP2 at a minimum).

In an Excel template file, can I set the Folder Path in the SaveAs Dialog box?

I have an Excel template file (xltm) and, with help from the forum, I now have a Workbook_BeforeSave subroutine to save the template as a macro enabled file (xlsm). I’m so thankful for that help from Edward in the forum.
I also want to set the default folder location to save the file. I really only need it when the template is saved as a new xlsm file, because if they open the xlsm file, it’s usually opened from the default folder path so any save would normally go back
to where the file was opened. However, with a template (even if the template is in the default folder) the Saved template reverts back to the user’s documents folder.
Is there a good way to do this?
I tried to modify the Workbook_BeforeSave code like this:
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
Dim FolderDir As String
Dim FileNameVal As String
FolderDir = "Z:\save\data\place\"
If SaveAsUI Then
If Dir(WorkBookFolder, vbDirectory) <> "" Then
Application.DefaultFilePath = WorkBookFolder
End If
FileNameVal = Application.GetSaveAsFilename(, "Excel Macro-Enabled Workbook (*.xlsm), *.xlsm")
Cancel = True
If FileNameVal = "False" Then 'User pressed cancel
Exit Sub
End If
ThisWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=FileNameVal & ".xlsm", FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbookMacroEnabled
Application.EnableEvents = True
End If
End Sub
But there are a lot of checks that would need to be done.
I'm not sure how to only default the folder saved only when they open the template, but not change it when they just open an already saved Excel file created by the template (with all the active content, macros, etc.).
Alan Edwards

Hi Alan,
store the path\filename in the 1st argument:
FileNameVal = Application.GetSaveAsFilename("C:\*.xlsm", "Excel Macro-Enabled Workbook (*.xlsm), *.xlsm")

Numbers seems to have broken

I was using Numbers this morning -- no major problem except that it didn't properly recover from page view (leaving junk on the right of the table).
This afternoon it seems to have broken. ALL my files, including the one from this morning have mostly blank cells. The contents seem to be there - if I click a cell the contents show up in the formula bar (or whatever it's called). And if I double-click to edit the contents reappear. But then go away again as soon as I finish with the cell.
Some (but not all) of the header cells in Gray Headers style show up, and some are simply a pair of faint white squares at the end of the text string. Check boxes show up OK.
Oh, and if I double click on a date it shows up for editing with the year as 00002010.
This is very distressing. I have a lot of data locked up in Numbers and as of now, all is unusable.
What's going on?

Thanks for the help. Actually I should have mentioned that I tried that (I've been using Macs since my Mac IIfx in 1990 so I picked up a few tricks) as well as restarting. The problem remains.
In the meantime I've tried opening my files (remotely) with another machine. No problems. It's local.
Next I'll try reinstalling Numbers, if I can find the disks

IMAP4 folder path support seems to be broken.
