Invalid File

I saved a Pages file as a Word doc (example.doc) and now I can't open it in either Word or Pages. When I try to open the file on my Mac I get an "import error" message, on my PC I get an "invalid file" message. I tried changing the file name under "get info" but that didn't help. Suggestions?

Invalid File Name Errors when syncing to Ipod

Ever since an update last fall I have been getting Invalid file name errors when I try to sync my ipod. A window would pop up saying "Windows could not copy 'SONGNAME' to the iPod 'IPODNAME' because an unkown error occurred (-37)." I would press OK and another window would immediately pop up that would say, "Attempting to copy to the disk 'IPODNAME' failed. the file name is invalid or too long."
The windows would keep popping up countless times until the sync would just seem to time out and stop.
The problem songs would have no problem playing in iTunes.
Prior to the update this did not happen. No new songs were added around this time and nothing was changed to my file directory structure. I was too busy to troubleshoot this problem at the time and hoped that another update would fix it. Well, here I am many months and updates later and still no fix. After fiddling with iTunes and resetting my Ipod multiple times (goodbye saved angry bird games)I have found out that:
1. By writing down the file name when the error windows pop up I can get a partial list of the problem file names. I could not get a complete list of the problem files because the sync would time out before a full list could be compiled (the list appears to be in the hundreds).
2. If I changed the name of the file by adding OR deleting one character, remapping the song in itunes, the song would then sync properly.
3. If I changed the name of the file, remapped the location of the file within iTunes, changed the name of the file BACK to the original name that iTunes supposedly had a problem with, and then remapped the location of the song within iTunes, the song would then sync properly
4. If I moved the song to a different directory without changing the file name, remapped the song within iTunes, the song would sync properly.
5. If I moved the song to a different directory without changing the file name, remapped the song within iTunes, moved the file BACK to the original directory, remapped the song again, the song would sync properly.
6. If I renamed the file and then named it back to the original file name WITHOUT remapping the file location in iTunes, the song would still not sync properly
7. If I moved the file into a different directory and then back again without remapping the file location, the song would still not sync properly.
8. Changing or deleting the tags has no effect at all.
9. File name lengths are already under 200 characters and there are no special characters used.
So, to sum up, I have found out a way to fix the issue. The problem is, that there are hundreds of songs that appear to be affected and renaming or moving every single one individually and then remapping is extremely inefficient and ignores the cause of the problem. I also did not want to delete the itunes library and then add all of the songs back in because I have many custom playlists that I have spent hours creating and I do not want to delete them.
Is there a better way to fix the problem? Especially if someone knows the root cause?

I got a procmon log file and examined it. I have the file and I could also provide you with that or screenshots of it.
There is nothing unusual about it. I can see entires in which CR has successfully opened the report and has cached in a c:\windows\temp.
However there is one or two non-successful entries that may be related, especially that examining the stack trace brings us to a call to get_ProductLocaleID():
- A call to read reg entry HKU\S-1-5-20\Software\Business Objects\Suite 12.0\Crystal Reports\Locale fails with NAME NOT FOUND.
- immediately after that and from the same process (w3wp.ex) there is a call to open directory "c:\" which is logged as ACCESS DENIED.
Any subsequent unsuccessful calls seem to be results of exception handling in the debug code.
Does this point to any setup issues with CR? We always run the redistributable x86 runtime when installing it.

Copying files from Mac to Windows-invalid file names

Unfortunately, my boss likes Windows more than Macs, so we have puchased some new Dell computers to replace older G4 Macs.
I'm having trouble copying existing files from a Mac (OS 10.4)to the shared drive on the Windows XP computer. I'm getting an error message:
"You can't copy the item 'filename' because the name is too long or includes characters that the disk can't display." Sometimes it doesn't give a filename, it gives a similar message "Some items couldn't be copied..."
I assume the person has used some "illegal" file names such as "Meeting minutes 10/7/07" Or maybe we have too many folders inside of folders.
QUESTION: Is there a correct/better way to copy large quantites of files/folders from Mac to Windows? Or is there a program that will look at the Mac files and alert me to wrong or too long files names?
Other ideas to copy these files?
thanks,
Bill

You can use a freeware utility like Renamer4Mac or BatchRename'em both of which have built-in filters that will rename files for Windows compatibility.
Thank you... This sounded to me like it would fix the problem, so I downloaded both and looked at them. However, the manual/help file is very sparse, so I don't know if it will do what I want to and how it would do it.
1. I couldn't find any option in either program to: Look at all files in selected folder, and list any invalid file names for Windows.
2. There doesn't seem to be an option to "rename files without bad Windows characters" or "Remove invalid for Windows characters"
I just couldn't find any explanation of how it was offering to rename the files. I can't rename all files to sequential names, that would make it hard to find a file later.
Thank you,
Bill

Some WMA files returning "invalid file" error when I try to transfer them to my MP3 pla

Hello! I'm having a new problem with my Zen Micro this week. I have been using Walmart.com's music download service for a year or so now and have never had a problem with their files. All of a sudden this week, 2/3rds of the files I have downloaded will not transfer to my MP3 player. When I try to import them, the Zen Micro returns an error saying they are "invalid" files. Some files transfer fine -- others give me this error. I talked to Walmart about this and they said it's a problem with my MP3 player. Does anybody know what might be causing this? Should I be trying an upgrade to my Media Explorer program, or something like that?
Thanks for any advice you can offer (and yes, I know Walmart is run by *******s, but at least they don't make me download a huge application before I can buy online music from them!).
--Meg

I had similar problems with downloads before I upgraded to PlaysForSure. Even though in theory you don't need PlaysForSure for pay as you go downloads, in practice the complex rights built into the music mean that it is the only guarantee that downloaded music will play for sure and correctly on your player. I would recommend upgrading to PlaysForSure firmware from the 'downloads' section of this website (you need windows xp service pack 2 and windows media player 0 first). Make sure you back up your music if possible first as all content will be erased when you upgrade firmware. You will then need to download the software suite for PlaysForSure zen micros to get MediaSource and MediaExplorer.

I am trying to get the content of a trace file generated for me.
Because I don't have privileges to log on the server and copy the trace file for me directly with some os user, I am doing the following:
1. I alter my session trace identifier to easier identify the trace file
ALTER SESSION SET TRACEFILE_IDENTIFIER = 'Func01';2. I invoke DBMS_MONITOR
3. I run the procedure I want to monitor.
4. I disable the monitoring by calling DBMS_MONITOR
5. At this point I run the following query to identify my trace file:
select u_dump.value || '/' || instance.value || '_ora_' || v$process.spid || nvl2(v$process.traceid, '_' || v$process.traceid, null ) || '.trc'"Trace File"
from V$PARAMETER u_dump
cross join V$PARAMETER instance
cross join V$PROCESS
join V$SESSION on v$process.addr = V$SESSION.paddr
where 1=1
   and u_dump.name = 'user_dump_dest'
   and instance.name = 'instance_name'
   and V$SESSION.audsid=sys_context('userenv','sessionid');It gives me: /ORACLE/MYDB/trace/MYDB_ora_3616822_Func01.trc
I have created directory in advanced on the path where the traces are stored:
CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY trace_dir AS '/ORACLE/MYDB/trace/';
SELECT * FROM dba_directories WHERE directory_name = 'TRACE_DIR';
Output:
OWNER DIRECTORY_NAME DIRECTORY_PATH
SYS     TRACE_DIR      /ORACLE/MYDB/trace/I don't have rights to grant read, write on TRACE_DIR to my user, as I am not logged with SYS.
I created a table to store in it the lines from the trace file:
CREATE TABLE tmp_traces_tab
callnum NUMBER,
line NUMBER,
fileline CLOB
);Then I run the following PL/SQL block to retrieve the content of the trace and store it in the table T:
DECLARE
l_file            UTL_FILE.file_type;
l_location     VARCHAR2 (100) := 'TRACE_DIR';

l_text           VARCHAR2 (32767);
l_line           NUMBER := 1;
l_call           NUMBER := 1;
BEGIN

l_file := UTL_FILE.fopen (l_location, l_filename, 'r', 32767);
-- Read and output first line.
UTL_FILE.get_line (l_file, l_text, 32767);
INSERT INTO tmp_traces_tab (callnum, line, fileline) VALUES (l_call, l_line, l_text);

INSERT INTO tmp_traces_tab (callnum, line, fileline) VALUES (l_call, l_line, l_text);
l_line := l_line + 1;
UTL_FILE.fclose (l_file);
END;
/And when I run the code I get the error: ORA-29283 invalid file operation.
Is it possible to a role my user to be able to get the content of the trace files in the directory TRACE_DIR without having explicit READ , WRITE privileges on it?
My user currently has these roles:

TO my knowledge, No you cannot.
Privileges acquired via a Role are not valid in PL/SQL. You need to have explicit privileges.

Did you uninstall 1.3 completely? Completely in the sense both jdk and jre.
You may get this error if you use javac of one version and the rt.jar of another version.

Invalid File Handle Windows 7 with Novell Client 2 SP1

Hello!
I have a user on Windows who gets "invalid file handle" when saving files in
WordPerfect and possibly Adobe as well. He thinks it mostly occurs when he
has multiple files open and has saved one open file to a different
directory. Then if he goes to save another file in it's same directory, he
gets the error. I hope this makes sense. Would anyone have any idea if it
does make sense?
Thanks!

Maybe that was once the intention by novell, but I assure you that you
will have no trouble finding a lot of people/exemples that proves the
opposite...
Yeah, you can set the server-side settings which do have an impact,
on win7 stations = blue screen if ON. But to say that it overrules the
client setting....No way....
We have had every single server EVER setup with Netware with
filecaching OFF and OpLocks2 off and changing the client side setting
DO make a direct difference, mostly bad but in the case of Win7, file
caching on seems to be a requirement since Win7 can't handle any open
files in a good way withouth it. It simply states "file not found" if
file caching = off. If file caching = on, then the client will receive
the message that the file is busy and can be opened in read-only.
And, again, have file caching = on AND changing the server also to ON
is NOT a good idea, at least not for us, since we got blue screens all
over within a couple of min's when testing that setting and those
disapperad just a fast when setting it to off again on the server.

Invalid File Handle - Windows 7 clients talking to Mac OS 10.5.8 server

Hello
I have a file-sharing volume setup under 10.5.8 server - however with the addition of Window 7 clients i'm noticing lots of error whilst trying to copy to or from that volume {setup under SMB and AFP} via a windows machine...
My Mac OS clients report no issues
My windows clients report the '' Invalid File Handle''
any fixes?
many thanks in advance!

Slideshow can not be export: An invalid file or volume name has been detected.

How can I find this file after following error?
slideshow can not be export
An invalid file or volume name has been detected.
I am not able to export my slideshow at all
Wie kann ich diese Datei finden nach der Error Meldung?
Diashow kann nicht exportiert werden
Ein unzulässiger Datei- oder Volumenname wurde entdeckt.
Ich kann die Diashow so überhaupt nicht exportieren!

Wann tritt diese Fehlermeldung auf? Direkt nachdem der "Export" Knopf gedrückt wurde, oder erst nach einiger Zeit, wenn die fertige Diaschau gesichert werden soll?
Wohin soll die Diaschau geschrieben werden, wenn sie fertig ist? Auf den Schreibtisch oder auf eine externe Festplatte? Die Fehlermeldung könnte bedeuten, dass der gewählte Dateiname unzulässig ist oder der Ordner oder die festplatte unzulässige Namen haben.
Eventuell ist auch eined der Bilder in der Diaschau nicht lesbar.
Können Sie überhaupt irgeneine Diaschau exportieren? Versuchen Sie einmal eine neue, zweite Diaschau zu erzeugen, ganz kurz mit nur einoder zwei Bildern. Geht das?

XSJOB won't activate, invalid file content

Hi experts,
I'm trying to get a simple XSJOB working, but HANA Studio repeatedly tells me "Invalid file content" when I want to activate the following:
    "description": "Queue worker job",
    "action": "mypack:myfile.xsjs::myFunct",
    "schedules": [
        "description": "Check the queue every five seconds",
        "xscron": "* * * * * * 0:59/5"
The package and xsjs files as well as the function exist and are activated without any problems. I can run the function in the XSJS without problems.
What can I do?
Thanks in advance

When I cut and paste that into my system the file parses correctly. No Invalid File Content errors. So it would seem the format is correct. The only error that I get is that the target action object doesn't exist - which is correct in my system since it doesn't exist. Are you sure that your action target is right. Are you really going after an xsjs that is in the mypack package right off the root? Perhaps post a screenshot of your project so we can see the target structure.

Invalid file operation

i get this error when i try coping from a source directory which exist to a directory which does not exist.
instead of this stopping the loop i want to control it and log the source directory which does not exist in the destination
and continue the loop
how do i do this
this is my code below
UTL_FILE.fcopy ('Source ',
file_source_image,
'Destination',
file_source_image
invalid file operation

Hi,
Wrap the statement in its own BEGIN block, with its own EXCEPTION section:
LOOP
     BEGIN
          UTL_FILE.fcopy ( 'Source ',
                            file_source_image,
                      'Destination',
                      file_source_image
     EXCEPTION
          WHEN ...
          -- Log error here
     END;
     -- Code here gets executed whether the fcopy worked or not

Hi All,
I'm having trouble with workflow standard attachment.
When i run sbwp, goto inbox then i attach .jpg file into one of pending items.
Suddenly SAP show error message "Invalid file format <> ASCII".
But it's work for .TXT file.
Somebody tell me why it's happen plz, or can't sap attach other file type except .TXT? or is there something wrong with standard setting?
Thx for help.

Thanks Gareth,
I already tried it. It works as well.
My next problem is when i try to display the .jpg attachment the sap pop a window with messages:
1. Switch to the window of your PC application to
   display the document
2. Close your document.
3. Press "Continue" in the R/3 window.
but none of JPG application can come up.
What should we do?

Frequent 'Filesystem Corrupt', Invalid File count

I have been getting this message every a couple of days in my MBP or iMac running 10.6.2. It happens/visible only when I runs Disk Utility and Verify Disk. Of course, this brings unsettling point to me when it comes now and then. Not to mention I have to boot from DVD to run disk utility to fix this
Error Message: Invalid file count (It should be xxxxx instead of xxx+1) AND
Error Message: Invalid volume directory count (It should be xxxxx instead of xxxx-1)
Any idea what causes this and what's the impact i.e. do I lose any files?
Thanks!!

Hi Tim,
By default, it is HFS+ Journaled (non-case sensitive). So I have also the same understanding that journalled filesystem should be robust as you wrote it. But the fact that this comes now and then, It created some doubts.
Is this a harmless error message or should I be worried about it. That basically my questions. I do repair when I see this.
It can't be because of disk is failing for a number of reason:
1) I have the same behavior both in my iMac and MBP
2) Both HDD has been replaced with new one recently
3) Both HDD has passed through surface scan from TechTool Deluxe 5.0.6, so no bad blocks
Still a puzzle...
Are you sure that the errors are showing up on both computers when performing either a "Verify Disk" or "Repair Disk" and NOT just a "Verify Disk Permissions" or "Repair Disk Permissions"? Permissions errors are mostly harmless. Filesystem errors (the sort you see when you ask for "Verify Disk" or "Repair Disk" in Disk Utility are not harmless and you should be worried about those.
If so, then either both drives are failing or your drives are being exposed to a strong enough magnetic field to damage their data (and that would have be pretty strong -- a common refrigerator magnet wouldn't do the trick.) In all of my years of working with journaled filesystems (or operating systems with "filesystem logging" which is the same thing) I have NEVER seen a journaled volume have filesystem errors unless it was physically failing.
Journaling will prevent filesystem errors if it's enabled for pretty much every cause except for a physically defective or damaged disk. Here's the short version of how journaling works...
Journaling (aka "filesystem logging") is intended to prevent filesystem corruption... and it's pretty rock-solid.
1) A "journal" (or "log") area is added.
2) A hard rule is established that, under no circumstances may the OS be performing writes to both the journal and the regular filesystem at the same time. One must be flushed before it can work on the other and vice versa.
3) When a write operation is about to happen, the OS writes information to the journal indicating which blocks on the filesystem are about to be changed and what it's about to change. This information is flushed to disk.
4) The OS can then perform the write on the actual filesystem areas it intended to change. These must then be flushed to disk.
5) The journal can now be cleared.
That's pretty much it (simplified). But think about what this does. Normally if something interrupts a write operation (something crashes, a kernel panic, a power loss, etc.) there is something that will still have integrity because the OS will not write to both the journal and the regular filesystem at the same time.
If a failure occurs while writing to the filesystem it's no big deal. When the system boots back up, it notices the journal wasn't cleared so it "replays" the journal. This re-writes any blocks that might only have been partially written thus clearing any chance of corruption on the volume.
If a failure occurs while writing to the journal it's still no big deal. When the system boots back up it notices a corrupt journal, but that means the regular filesystem itself wasn't being touched so the filesystem is guaranteed to not have errors on it (although it does mean the last file you were about to save probably didn't get saved -- and that file wouldn't have written successfully even if journaling were off. At least this way there is no filesystem corruption.)
While it sounds pretty solid (and it is) there's still a potential for corruption, but it's rare. If a drive swings the access arms to a specific track and starts writing data, the assumption is that the write head is above the correct track. If the head is "sloppy" due to wear, then the head may be slightly mis-aligned and bleeding writes into the adjacent track. This will cause filesystem corruption even with journaling enabled.
If these drives came with the computers then the only warranty would be via Apple. If you purchased these drives on your own then they probably came with a pretty good manufacturer warranty -- most drives I've purchased in recent years had at least a 3 year warranty.

Compiling Media invalid file path error when buring a DVD

Hello,
I have updated to 3.0.2 Premiere Elements and the latest XP Home updates. I had 2.0 and it worked without any problems. I bought 3.0 and have had nothing but problems, I can capture, access files and put a video together but no matter if to file or to DVD I always get this error
"Burn DVD Progress screen"
"Compiling Media invalid file path"
then it all stops and nothing.
Any help or suggestions appreciated, I searched the web for this error and found nothing, when I search here I seem to get every Adobe product comes up but no premiere.
Thank you

I started to do the FAQ to build a clean AVI file. I also re-installed the program, did an update to 3.0.2, defrag. Made sure I had 118gig space. All in order. Still I got the errors. Then I thought perhaps since this pointed to a path that somewhere a path was not correct. So I looked under Preferences - scratch disks - and found they all pointed to the D drive where I had some old Adobe files. It appears the 2.0 version worked when I had the files stored on another partition and 3.0 did not like this. So when I moved everything in Scratch Disk to the same folder on C: where I installed 3.0 things seemed to begin to work.
I tested it by burning to a file and then to an actual DVD and both worked well. I have a quad core chip.
Now the problem seems to be when I edit each end of a clip, "the IN and OUT" the in does not seem to be saved or rendered. When I get to the preview I can still see and hear date prior to the SET IN. I save, re-save and re-render and it still happens. However some clips it works fine.
Thanks again for pointing me in a direction so at least I can start to trouble shoot.
