Intermittent error saving attachments from mail: "Names longer than 31 characters are not supported on the destination volume."

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

I am seeing this too.

Error when saving calendar exports-names longer than 31 characters 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...

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?

Open the Time Machine pane in System Preferences. If it shows that Time Machine is ON, click the padlock icon in the lower left corner, if necessary, to unlock it. Scroll to the bottom of the list of backup drives and click Add or Remove Backup Disk. Remove all the disks, then add them back. Quit System Preferences. Test.

TS2755 i receive an error message telling me my music dock and computer are not supported by iphone

I have had my Iphone 4 since May 2011. It got wet. It receives phone calls and messages, email plays music on the phone. But if I try and connect it to my music dock or computer I receive an error messagetelling me Iphone does not support this device. I have never had issues with this before. My husbands I phone works fine on the music dock and my computer.

There is a good chance this issue is related to water damage, but it could be a whole other issue entirely.
If it were me, I would try backing up and then restoring the phone.
Follow the steps in this article to BACK UP and RESTORE either through iTunes or iCloud.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US
If that doesn't work, you can use the CONTACT APPLE support tool (https://expresslane.apple.com/GetproductgroupList.do;jsessionid=NH2hP4VHSp7Dxggz 0TL4QGL09FPBQ5Hkxl59rLypshXhcNPs4nvp!-2009127310) which is online and easy to follow. I recommend this because it will allow you to enter the serial # from your device and should steer you in the right direction, especially if the phone is from Singapore. There might be some differences in software that I am not personally aware of.
You can get your serial # by going into SETTINGS-->GENERAL-->ABOUT on your iPhone.
Let me know if this helps you!
Good luck

When entering the digits from an Anti Spam Image they are not accepted by the host web site why

In e-bay when required to enter the digits from an anti spam image, ebay rejects the entered digets.
This only occurs when using Firefox, Internet explorer works fine.
Any body know why?

hi john, you probably have to go trough your list of addons once (in the firefox ''menu ≡ > addons > extensions'') and disable them one by one to find out which in particular might be causing the problem.

Name longer than 31 Characters or 23?

I'm using Numbers 3.0.1 and getting a "Names longer that 31 characters are not supported on the destination volume" message. Well, the new file name is 27 characters long? Finely, the new document was saved with a name 23 characters long. I have many PDF documents with very long names. Is there a reason to limit a files names to 23 characters? This requirement while using Numbers seems to be going back towards DOS, does any one remember DOS.
After closing the new 23 character name document the name may be changed to a very long name and then opened with Numbers 3.0.1. What were they thinking?

I haven't seen a message like that in a long time. My guess is the 31 includes the name and a "." and the extension of "numbers". 31-1-7=23 so the 23 character limit for the name makes sense with respect to the error message.
I have seen no problem naming files with long names using Numbers. What type of volume are you saving the file to?

Saving attachments in Mail extremely slow!!!

I can't seem to find any mention of this anywhere! But since 10.5.2 saving attachments from mail is extremely slow. Try an email with many attachments - more than 10. The size doesn't seem to matter. It takes roughly 1 second per attachment. Pre 10.5.2 was almost instant. Problem remains in 10.5.3.
Doesn't matter if I hit the 'save' button or choose 'save attachments' from the File menu.
Other mail programs do not do this. (Entourage, Gayzmail)
I think it has something to with quarantine but can't find any info.

Error message: URL's with the type "file:" are not supported. I get this pop-up twice each time I enter Safari and Mail.

Everytime I go into Mail and/or Safari, I receive a pop-up the states "There was a problem connecting to the server. URL's with the type "File:" are not supported. The pop-up comes up twice each time and I have to click "ok" to close them. Only started after install of OS Lion 10.7. Any one else have this and is there a solution. It is just plain irrating that is does this each time I check my mail or go on the internet. Thanks!

That's interesting. I bet that helps other Safari users!

Service principal names of user are not unique; check the active directory

Hello Experts,
My company had set up this service principal account to use with Kerberos and I am trying to configure the authentication template using SPNEGO wizzard. The format of the service account is not the same as SAP recommened (J2EE-SID-DOMAIN) but something like abc_de_portal. After trying to use that account with the wizzard I am getting this error "Service principal names of user abc_de_portal are not unique; check the active directory configuration." I am not sure what else in the AD attributes is causing the problem. Please let me know if you have ran into similar issue and how did you corrected. Points will be rewarded of course.
Thank you so much for any help that I can get.

Hello Duy,
SPN of the service user for kerberos has to be unique as you would have made out from the message . There seems to be
someother user having the SPN as yours.
You would have to find the other AD user with the same SPN as yours and then de register that with
setspn u2013d <SPN> Username
Then this error should not come up after that .
There was a tool called Ldifde which you can use for this. We have our AD team do this for us. Would be better if you ask them to carry this out.

While saving multiple attachments from mail, files with same name are added and not replaced

While saving Multiple Attachments from Mail, existing file with same name are not overwritted but new files are added in the folder.

Bjørn Larsen a écrit:
Hi all
Hope to get some help with Elements Organizer.
I have 12-15 years of digital photos that I now want to import into my newly aquirede Adobe Elements Organizer / Photoshop. Since my Nikon names the files with continous numbers from 0001 to 9999 I have multiple files with the same name although they are not alike at all. My previous software had no problems with that since I keep the photos in separate file folders based on import date. I generally import photos after each event and so name the folder with the date and some event info (e.g. 2014.12.24 - Christmas at grandparents).
That is a common situation, I have the same limitation for files not going over 9999 on my Canons...
Now - when I import my photos into Elements Organizer I get a lot of error messages with "same name exist .....) Hmmmmmmm
Please sate the exact wording of the error message, I have never seen a message stating 'same name exist...' or equivalent; only messages about files already in the catalog. Files already in the catalog mean that some files have the same 'date taken' and file size in Kb.
Any suggestions. I'm using a mac and tried to rename files based on date taken. The mac can do that but it takes ages to go into each folder and run the renaming script there.
I also use a similar folder creation scheme (such a date naming is the default for the downloader). That way I never get a message about duplicates for the same file names.
However - I can't be the first or only person with this problem so I figure that some workaround must be known out there. Maybe the import action can recognize date taken or - well. Thank you very much in advance if you can help me out here.
You can alsways set the downloader to rename the imported files with a unique new name, there are many options in the 'advanced' dialog of the downloader. I don't know about Macs, but I don't thing there is a difference.

Stripping Attachments from Mail messages.

Does anybody know of a utility for stripping out attachments from Mail messages so as to save storage space?

Hey thanks for the suggestions.
Firstly, embedded attachments can be dragged out of the email messages on Windows as they can on OS X.
Getting our clients to work like this could be difficult as they all have 1024px screens and from what we've seen they always have their windows maximised (in fact most Windows users seem to do this). But we'll suggest it.
Secondly, when you next plan to make an attachment be sure to use the menu or toolbar option for selecting an attachment. When the Choose File dialog appears you will see a checkbox in the lower left labeled "Use Windows friendly attachments." Be sure that option is checked.
We do this but it still doesn't seem to work - maybe their MailMarshal software is causing this?
Thirdly, be sure any attachment you send has the proper extension. For example, PDF files should have ".pdf", and JPEGs should have ".jpg" or ".jpeg" in order to be consistent with what Windows applications expect.
Yes, we do this.
Fourthly, often certain documents on OS X do not have an extension or the extension is slightly different, for example, Word documents may be ".docx" on the Mac, but need to be ".doc" in order for Word for Windows to open the document by double-clicking.
Have come across this also.
Fifthly, ZIP files should not normally be confused with junk. Your IT department may need to consider making some changes to their email filtering software.
We don't have an IT department, and based on recent conversations with their IT guys, they're definitely not interested in taking suggestions on email security from Mac users!
Will see how we go with getting our clients to work differently but I'd personally prefer to sort it our end - from their point of view it's a Mac issue and from what I can see I think they might be right.

Remove attachments from mail app with imap account

Hi Folks,
I am quite frustrated. I am using Apple's mail app with Gmail (IMAP) and I want to remove all of my attachments from Gmail. I am using the 'remove attachment' feature of mail app to do this. However, it removes the attachment, then uploads a copy of the original email without the attachment. Therefore, I end up with two emails: The original and a copy without an attachment.
I don't get it. I just want to remove the attachments from my emails. I don't want to delete the original email.
Any thoughts?

I am not sure when I will get the chance to test this -- maybe this afternoon. But I had not understood that what you called original continued to have the attachments. If so, this strongly suggests to me that it indeed may be the way Gmail maintains the All Mail folder that is causing this. See:
http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=6581
If there is a setting to help this, it will have to be one that is selected in the Settings webpage of Gmail, I suspect.

After migrating to a new MBP, when saving or opening documents, I sometimes (but not always) get a warning such as: "Word cannot save this document due to a naming or permissions error on the destination volume." Can someone please explain?

I recently migrated from a MBP with OS 10.6 to a MCB with OS 10.8. Some glitches are popping up. Here's the one on my mind at the moment:
When saving or opening documents, I get a warning such as: "Word cannot save this document due to a naming or permissions error on the destination volume." Can someone please explain?

Since this is isolated to a single file, try exporting it to Interchange Format (.inx), then open and save the resulting file as a new InDesign file.
Since the problem occurs during export, that may not be possible. Another option to try would be to copy all elements, page by page, and "paste in place" into a new document the same size. If you used layers, be sure to enable "paste remembers layers" in the layers panel menu.
This kind of problem is often indicative of an underlying font issue. You said there are only three fonts, and you should verify that in Type > Find Font... Try replacing, at least temporarily the fonts in use with something else that you know to be reliable from other documents. You might want to do this before the other steps.
