Limit to number of files that can be moved or copied?

I'm trying to move the contents of the "previous systems" folder (from my update to Leopard) to an external harddrive, but when I drag and drop the file name it starts the process but stays at "preparing to copy 16,850 items." It's still on that message in the dialogue box with the barber pole over an hour later.
My question is: Is there a limit to the number of files that can be moved/copied at one time? Or does it just take a very long time?
Thanks for any help.

Thanks, Katy. I left it up all night and it was in the same place in the morning, so I'm assuming it isn't going to go what I need done in one fell swoop. I had to relaunch Finder before the dialogue box would go away.
Moving all those files will have to wait, I guess, until I have enough time to break them into manageable chunks.

Max number of files that can be opened in harddrive through AEBS?

What is the maximum number of files that can be opened in a external hard drive (Lacie 500 GB, USB 2.0) connected through the AEBS? Looks like there is a limit.
When I am trying to 'seed' files through a bit-torrent client (Azureus 2.5.0.4) many of them give an error "Error: too many open files". I never had this error before.
When I tried to delete a file in the hard drive, I got the error "too many open files". Then I stopped 'seeding' in Azureus and I was able to delete the file.

Thanks Chris, it has almost become unwieldy now at this stage ... I'm actually thinking of calling another template for certain sections
I belive this is possible..

How do I delete excess email messages from my iPhone. There are 300 messages listed, and every time I delete some, more are added from old messages. How do I limit the number of messages that can appear on my phone? How can I delete messages in bulk,

You can't.
All photos transferred from your computer are stored in the Photo Library. The photos in the album or albums below are not duplicates - they include a pointer to the original photos stored in the Photo Library. This way you can view the photos in a particular album only by selecting the album, or you can view all photos available in all albums by selecting Photo Library.
Just as with an iTunes playlist. A song cannot be in an iTunes playlist unless the song is in the main iTunes library. Placing a song in a playlist does not duplicate the song. Remove the main iTunes library or the songs from the main iTunes library that are in a playlist and the songs will no longer be in the playlist either. This way you can listen to the songs in the playlist only by selecting the playlist, or all songs in your entire iTunes library by selecting Music under Library in the iTunes source list.
The same with iPhoto on a Mac. A photo cannot be in an in iPhoto Event or Album unless the photo is in the main iPhoto library. Placing a photo in an Event or Album does not duplicate the photo. This way you can view the photos in an iPhoto Event or Album only by selecting the Event or Album, or all photos in all Events or Albums.

Is there any limit on Number of items that can be created in SBO2005B

Is there any limit on Number of items that can be created in SAP Business One 2005B.
We are working for button manufacturer.
Each button will have type,color, size, thickness.
There are about 100 types, 40 colors, 30 sizes, 10 thickness, 500 models.
It looks to be approximately above 30lacs item codes has to be created.
Is there any performance issues or any other known issues towards the large item lists.

Hi,
There is no real limit on the number of items you can create (well, the item code is a 20 character key so theoretically the limit is the total number of possible combinations of letters and characters in that key).
Performance can be an issue with a large inventory, as well as database size (particularly if you have a large inventory and a large number of warehouses). Some issues such as the speed of lookups can be avoided by changing system settings but other issues such as the speed of inventory reports are inevitable going to take longer for larger inventories.
Have you done any research on looking for SBO addons for the clothing industry? It might be worth searching the CPSN for such addons (ie ones that can deal with sizes, colours etc) as these may help greatly in keeping the number of stock items down to a minimum.
Kind Regards,
Owen

Can Flex Limit the Number of Prints that can be made?

Is there a way to create a Flex app to limit the number of
prints that can be made from it? I need to limit a coupon that
prints out, and I'm new to Flex. Is this possible to be created? Is
anyone interested in possibly contracting this job? This is a
serious inquiry. Email me if you have an idea, and a quote.
[email protected]

No. Printing is either permitted or not, but there is no way any document can control the print quantity.

Limit on number of users that can be provisioned in one AE request

Hi Gurus,
Could you please let me know if there is a cap on the number of users that can be requested for provisioning in one single AE request. We are on AE 5.2? and we are facing this error when we try to raise a request containign more than 25 users:
"User Provisioning failed for System(s) : FEP. Error Message : User ####### not found;"
Let me knwo if you need further information on this error.

Poornima,
Its recommended not to create a request for more than 20 users for mass provisioning.
Try with 20 users max., I think it should resolve your problem.
Thanks,

Seems to be limit on number of photos that can be synced

My iPhoto library has over 12,000 photos, and I cannot sync it with iPhone 4, although I had no such problem syncing with my iPhone 3 or my iPad. I seem to be able to selectively sync less than 4,000 photos, but when I try to add more, it deletes all previously synced photos and only syncs a subset of selected photos.
Anyone else with this issue? Or with a fix? Apple support has been no help...

could it be you're exceeding the capacity of
your iphone? i ran into the same problem when
syncing the ip4 for the first time.
i had to delete a 1GB movie as well as a third
of my pics to use the same capacity as i did on
my 3GS. both iphones are 16GB.
don't forget that your images are re-optimized for
the retina display, and the resulting file will be
significantly larger than what it was on your old
iphone.

Is there a limit on number of columns that can be used to build a form?

I am building a form, which has about 180 columns. When I added more columns, it can be compiled, but not able to re-open it to edit. Got "Internal Error " or "The request had invalid syntax" such kind of error message.

You should probably post this question in the Oracle Forms forum for an appropriate response/comment on your question: Forms

Is there a limit to the number of files one can store in a folder?

Does anyone know if there is a limit to the number of files that can be stored in a folder? Or, is there a best-practice recommendation about this?

I wonder how one would find a group of files within that folder of 2.1 billion < very slowly <

Maximum number of photos that can be imported into an iPhoto library?

1. Does iPhoto have a maximum number of files or photos that it can handle in a single library?
I have a lot of photos (20GB) that have not yet been imported into an iPhoto Library. I am going to set up a new library with the iPhoto Library Manager (iPLM), but am wondering if there is a maximum number of files that can be handled in a single library?
2. Also, I don't think I want to import these, since that would create an iPhoto library as large as the source files. Are there any problems if I set up the preferences so that this library will not have the graphics imported into it?
3. With iPLM, can you have different sets of preferences for each library?
Thank you for any advice or suggestions.

1. Does iPhoto have a maximum number of files or photos that it can handle in a single library?
Apple advertises that iPhoto will handle 250,000 photos - I doubt that anyone has come close to that (or will)
I have 19,278 in 237 events - 22 GB - on a G5 iMac and it is snappy with no issues

If you want those should be fine in one library
2. Also, I don't think I want to import these, since that would create an iPhoto library as large as the source files. Are there any problems if I set up the preferences so that this library will not have the graphics imported into it?
It is a choice - if you do NOT import them then you will be responsible for all future management - deleting, etc. Moving to a different location or computer is much more difficult if you reference your photos instead of importing them.
Many people import them, burn the original source photos to CD or DVD and delete them from their disk letting iPhoto manage them
3. With iPLM, can you have different sets of preferences for each library?
I'm not sure but I do not think so

Limit the amount of copies that can be printed

Is there a way to limit the number of copies that can be printed of a pdf from inside the form in LiveCycle? I would like clients to only be able to print only two copies of a form with Adobe Reader. How can I do this?

This should be doable, but not very pretty...
First, put a text-field on the form, and make it hidden with a defaullt value of 0;
in pre-print, check if the value of the hidden field is >= the limit, if so set
xfa.event.cancelAction = 1
that will prevent the print dialog from even showing.
if the value of the hidden field is < the limit, add one to the value of the field.
That should do it. If you need a hand with the actual code, just let me know.
- Scott
(limitations: if the user doesn't save the changes, the hidden field will remain at 0... as such, you may have to script the docClose event to trigger a save. The issue with this is that the user will be stuck with any changes made, regardless of whether they want to keep changes.. Like I said, it's not pretty. You could go one step further and save the state of all fields on open/save, then restore those values on close, except for the hidden field before triggering a save... As you can see, this can get complicated fast....)

Add Folder - is there a limit to the number of files you can add in one go?

I have a fairly large collection (60GB+) of 192kbps mp3 files which are stored under My Music in a folder structure of Artists / Album, e.g. "My Music \ ACDC \ Back in Black\ Hells Bells.mp3"
I recently bought an ipod and having installed itunes I wanted to add all my music. I figured out that the way to do this is to go File / Add Folder and select the "My Music" folder.
However, itunes starts adding the mp3s and stops at the Bruce Springsteen folder. At this point the itunes library can see all the "A" folders and the "Bs" up to and including Bruce Springsteen. If I try the process again nothing happens.
However, if I then try to add a specific folder e.g. "My Music \ Charlatans" it works.
This suggests to me that the Add Folder option has a limit to the number of files it can process.
Any thoughts on this would be appreciated as I'm not looking forward to manually adding a hundred or so folders.

Well the part about putting songs in the "iTUnes Music" folder I only brought up because it seemed you liked things very organized. You could use iTunes to so all the organizeing. Plus once you add something to the iTUnes library, if you change ANYTHING about it in windows explorer, like its name, change the name of the folder its in or move it to another folder, iTUnes "Looses Track" of it. Its not like other programs that "Watch" files and folders for changes outside its "iTUnes Music" folder
But to have iTUnes auto search, you have to delete a hidden pref file. After doing this, when you open iTUnes again it will throw up a setup wizard, just like its the first time ever installing it. Its in this wizard where you get your ONLY chance to have iTUnes auto search and add files from the system. Just goto the link below and follow Scott P's steps

Also since your new to the ipod, you my want to check out the "iPod 101" section so you can learn the ropes of everything

What is the maximum number of 263 byte text files that can fit in a folder?

what is the maximum number of 263 byte text files that can fit in a folder - on a windows 2000 operating system?
I created a java program that creates these text files.
It was set to loop 30,000 times.
It created a total of 21874 html files before throwing a null exception.
I tried to copy and paste 10 more html files manually and it said not enough disk space.
however, I made a New Folder in that same folder and I was able to successfully paste the folders in
there.
That's interesting.
It appears there is a size limit in each folder, BUT I can make another folder within that and successfully paste more html files in there
Does anyone know the rules governing this feature.
Stephen

Whatever the answer is, it has nothing to do with Java programming. Microsoft might know, though, and that's where you should look.

How to limit the number of items that a list control can hold?

Hi,
I am using a Flex3 List control for one of my projects.
I add drag & drop functionality to it, so that i can drag & drop elements from one control to another.
How to limit the number of items that a list control can hold / can be dropped in a list control ?
- Sen.

1. Listen for the dragdrop event on the control you are dragging onto.
2. check the length of the items in the dataprovider - if it exceeds your maximum override the default drop action with e.preventDefault(); (assuming you used e for the event on the handler).
Regards,
Mark.
