"Invalid directory" message in Mail
Mail stopped working for me recently so I tried everything I could think of to get it to re-recognize my account.
Out of desperation, I disabled that mail account, and created another thinking that something in the preferences was hosed. I have 4 other old, and no longer used mail accounts that have also been disabled.
My problem now is that I cannot get either the old, or the new mail account to work, as it appears they are in conflict with each other.
When I try to enable either account, I get the message...
"Invalid directory"
"the account path, Users/me/Library/Mail/Mac-<my account name> is already being used by the account ".Mac Account"."
Is there some way that I can edit the account information to blow away the old inactive accounts (all of them), as well as the hosed active accounts and start fresh?
I REALLY don't want to have to continue to use the (SLOW) webmail beta.
Do you want to delete the accounts & all Mail they have, instead of the Disable account?
Mail>Preferences>Accounts, highlight one & click the little minus icon below.
Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...

Reboot.
If that doesn't help & you can afford to redo any Mail Rules...

Wrong Invalid email message in Mail
I am trying to set up a new mail account on Ipad mini and i get told that info@teatro-madroño.*** is an invalid email address. It clearly isn't as I can use it elsewhere. What's the story?

Invalid Directory Error Message when using DOS
I've recently installed version 1.4 SDK on my Windows 95 machine.
When I type cd c:\java in MS DOS at the prompt, I keep getting the message "Invalid Directory" and can't move forward from there to C:\java>.
The SDK is correctly installed on my C: drive, so I don't understand why the directory location isn't understood.
Could it have to do with the PATH? I followed the installation instructions below, but wonder if I need to type SET PATH=...before the text of the suggested PATH statement below.
Windows 98, Windows 95 - To set the PATH permanently, open the AUTOEXEC.BAT file and add or change the PATH statement as follows:
Start the system editor. Choose "Start", "Run" and enter sysedit, then click OK. The system editor starts up with several windows showing. Go to the window that is displaying AUTOEXEC.BAT
Look for the PATH statement. (If you don't have one, add one.) If you're not sure where to add the path, add it to the right end of the PATH. For example, in the following PATH statement, we have added the bin directory at the right end:
PATH C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND;C:\JDK1.4\BIN
Capitalization doesn't matter. The PATH can be a series of directories separated by semi-colons (;). Microsoft Windows searches for programs in the PATH directories in order, from left to right. You should only have one bin directory for a Java SDK in the path at a time (those following the first are ignored), so if one is already present, you can update it to jdk1.4.
To make the path take effect in the current Command Prompt window, execute the following:
C:> c:\autoexec.bat
To find out the current value of your PATH, to see if it took effect, at the command prompt, type:
C:> pathI am having the same issue.
At the command prompt, any attempt to enter the "jdk1.3.1" directory returns "invalid directory".
Sadly, your post is old, and noone but me has replied.
Since I'm DOS ignorant, and it is emulated DOS anyway...
I don't know how to resolve this.
Two uninstall/reinstall cycles to try and correct the issue- no dice.

Invalid Directory in mail account configuration
In Mac Mail, I have 4 accounts configured. One each from Yahoo, MSN, Comcast and Mobile Me. In the advanced tab of accounts, there is the box that you can uncheck to leave a copy of incoming mail on the server. But when I try to do that with the Comcast account, I get -------------
"Invalid Directory", and then an error blurb that says the path is laready in use by the Yahoo account. The settings for the Yahoo account show that it is using a yahoo server for the outgoing mail. I also have no problem with that setting in the other two accounts---only the Comcast one.
What am I missing?sorted.!

"00004.MTS" contains unsupported media or has an invalid directory structure. Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches supported media.
when i try log transfer from a sony nex-vg10 but my buddy can do it with no problem on my cam an macIf you copy the recordings from AVCHD cameras, you must copy the entire storage device with its directory structure intact.
I have even tried copying BACK files onto the camera and they do not show up in the transfer window under the last clip.
There is no information for those clips in the AVCHD storage device's directory index files. That means there is no way for the computer to find them.
Your last resort is most likely [ClipWrap|http://www.divergentmedia.com/clipwrap] now, unless you can get the storage device exactly back into the state it is supposed to be according to the index file. -
"invalid directory" prevents second email account
My Problem:Since dumping the preferences for Mail and reinstalling my main Mail account I have been unable to enter an extra mail account. Every time I try to save the changes I get a message box: INVALID DIRECTORY THE ACCOUNT PATH BLAH BLAH IS ALREADY BEING USED BY THE ACCOUNT(my usual email address) I have checked and rechecked that my main (and working fine) account is set up correctly. Perhaps one way of solving this would be to update my copy of Mail. It is 1.3.11 (v622/624) dated 2003. I am running X3.9 I have not been able to find how to download a more up to date version of Mail. Any clues? Would that in fact be likely to fix this silly little problem? My thanks to those of you there who put your time into helping dodos like me.
I also tried deleting TB altogether and reinstalled trying the problem gmail account and it still didn't work.
While checking on the 2-factor authentication, which I don't use, i noticed something. The working gmail account allowed 'access for less secure apps' and my problem account didn't. I enabled that and was able to add it to TB. All works now!
Not sure if the less secure apps is a good thing, but its working.
Thanks Christ1 -
Imac G5 will not start up correctly? invalid directory count 52 instead of 53
Hi, i have a Imac G5. it had been working fine for many years untill a year or 2 ago when it stopped all of a sudden and just would not start up as it should. instead, it went to this grey screen with horizontal lines. eventually after trying just about every combination of keys held down on startup, the only way i could get the mac to restart was by starting it in safe mode. (at this point i rescued all my photos and music and moved them onto my macbook pro) i thought it was working fine in safe mode untill i realised that it could not connect to the internet, the sound would not work at all, and when i went to preferances it could not find any output device for the sound. it also keeps coming up with a message saying that my internet communication device does not exist. allot of the programs worked fine, such as word, or photoshop, whereas others would not. i verified the disk, and discored that it would not let me repair it.
Invalid directory count
it should be 53 instead of 52)

it then came up with a message saying that he disk utility stopped verifying the macintosh hd because of it reporting the failure on exit.
i have tried doing this a few times but the exact same result is gained
i tryed using disk repair whilst starting up from the original install disk, but this also did not fix the problem. eventually, i decided to reinstall the os x 10.4.11. this had absolutely no effect, and i am at the same point. i would be very gratefull if anybody would be able to come up with any ideas of how i could fix this problem?
additional details: i have tried using the proxy reset
i have also tried running a apple hardware test
i have tried repairing the macintosh hd disk using the original install disks
also: all of the sockets at the back work fine, e.g. usb, but the microphone and headphone sockets do not work.
it will read disks finebut this also did not fix the problem. eventually, i decided to reinstall the os x 10.4.11. this had absolutely no effect,
I'd have guess you reformated at that time. The file system is messed up. You need to reformat.

CREATE DIRECTORY my_dir AS 'C:\SQL';
GRANT READ WRITE ON DIRECTORY my_dir TO <user>;You can then use the directory object name in the path of your UTL_FILE call.

SOAP: Invalid SSL message, peer seems to be talking plain!
Hi All,
we have configured an SOAP Receiver Adapter to send the message to external thrid system from PI 7.11.
In the configuration we have imported the thrid party system certificate into NWA.
In the receiver agreement we have sleected the adpater specific Parameters.
after executing the scenario we are getting the following error in Runtime Workbench.
*SOAP: call failed: iaik.security.ssl.SSLException: Invalid SSL message,
peer seems to be talking plain!*
please let us know if we have missed any configuration.
thanks,
Lalitkumar.Hi Rahul,
Actually the path provided by the third party is some what like this;
https://xyz.abc.com:443/TRSimpleAgent.Process:receive
let me rephrase the scenario
IDOC -> PI -> Soap.
The data which is flowing in IDOC have to be mapped and XML file has to be posted to url which i have mentioned above.
The data has to be posted outside the landscape of the SAP Systems.
As if now we are able to get the file as a o/p of receiver mail adapter. now to post this file we have to ping the third party system using the soap receiver adapter. In the meanwhile we have configured the certificate which we got from them in out PI java stack.
When we execute the scenario we are getting the following error
Message processing failed. Cause: com.sap.engine.interfaces.messaging.api.exception.MessagingException: iaik.security.ssl.SSLException: Invalid SSL message, peer seems to be talking plain!
SOAP: call failed: iaik.security.ssl.SSLException: Invalid SSL message, peer seems to be talking plain!
please help us in the following to resolve the issue.
Thanks in Advance.

Invalid Directory Structure Error
So I recently purchased a Panasonic AG-HMC40 and it's my first experience with a non tape camera. When I tried to get the footage onto my computer Final Cut wouldn't recognize it. It worked in iMovie but I would rather not lose quality by transferring it through that first. When I try to open the folder within the log and transfer screen I get an error message that says that it contains unsupported media or "Invalid Directory Structure." I'm on FCP 6.0.5.
I quite believe it.
Can you exactly describe what you're doing and how FCE behaves?
Do you see a preview of the clips after connecting the camera?
Try to import using iMovie, when this works, it should in FCE somehow, too.
I googled a bit around and found someone having the same problem (but unfortunately in german language).
He has formatted the SD card using the camera, then it worked. But the clips beeing on the SD card before are still lost. But if you backup before, you can convert the .mts files into .mov and then import it into FCE.
Some other possible source of errors:
- is the HF 100 power cable connected for transfer? (it has to be)
- did you see the "mode selection" screen when connecting to your Mac?
- if yes, did you select the "PC mode" there?
- does the USB port you are using work with other devices?
- can you try using an SD Card reader instead of the camera?
- do you see the camera device icon after connecting to your mac?
- can you try it on another Mac if it works? (if not, it may be a manufacturing issue)
At moment no more ideas... -
Hi
+"CANON" has invalid directory structure ..+ I'm working on FCP 6.0 and I get that message during Log and Transfer. The CANON directory is on the camera CANON HF100.
I have two iMac 5.1 with FCP 6.0 on the other iMac there is no problem. Plug in the camera open Log and Transfer and the "CANON" comes up with all clips.
Settings in FCP is the same - as I see them
Been reading and testing for hours. Any hint?Just testing. Media backup not so important. Problem solved. I made a software update

Hi,
When I execute a procedure as shown below i use to get an error as
<b> "invalid directory path"</b>
exec emp_details('c:\emp\test.txt',100);
The first parameter is the the path where file is stored and the other parameter is the emp code.
After executing the procedure the error message is,
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-29280: invalid directory path
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_FILE", line 18
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_FILE", line 424
ORA-06512: at "emp_details", line 34
ORA-06512: at line 1
but actually the file is located in the mentioned path but still the error occurs.
Please help me in this regard.Hello
Did you create a directory object or are you relying on utl_file_dir?
You may need to upper case the path if you are using a directory object (I think). Also, utl_file.f_open takes in the path AND the file name, not just the file name on it's own. Are you correctly splitting the file name from the path?
It might help if you can show the relevant parts of the procedure that are failing.

LOG AND TRANSFER [invalid directory structure warning]
I have just learned to use media manager and have cleaned out and archived some of my p2 and projects in FCP. I went to log and transfer some footage and am getting the message.
"This file has invalid directory structure. Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches the supported media??
PREVIOUSLY, before I became familiar with media manger, I had gone through files, P2 contents files and taken out some audio files that i know I didn't use. I discovered this is a mistake and returned all files but one to their appropriate contents files. One of them, I couldn't find where it came from so I just took it out of the trash and placed it on the source hardrive where all my P2 footage is stored.
Is this lone audio file causing the warning message? Please help.
catherineShane, out local P2 wonk, will chime in if he's dealt with this but you need to talk to Panasonic.

Importing from P2 cards..."invalid directory structure"
FCP 5.1
P2 cards
I am trying to import the material from the P2 cards.
I actually tranfered the content of the cards on my desktop and tried to File/Import/P2 Panasonic. I chose the Contents folder and i get this message: "invalid directory structure"...
I have been able to do this operation in the past, but suddenly this happens.
Any idea on what's going on?First off, does the CONTENTS folder have all six folders inside it?
Second, do the folders have any additional naming to them other than CONTENTS? Like CONTENTS 1, CONTENTS 2. Can't do that....has to be CONTENTS only...no additional naming.
Third, is this you issue:
