Media Source - 'file of this name already exists' transfering tracks from Zen Micro to
I've come home for the weekend, and I'm trying to transfer a few albums from my Zen Micro to my Mum's PC for her. Normally this works fine, but for some reason today I keep getting the message 'A file of this name already exists' for about 80% of the tracks I try to transfer. One or two tracks from each album will work and the rest will fail.
These are new tracks and they definitely aren't already in her music library - I've double checked the C dri've too.
I'm given the option to overwrite the exisiting tracks, so I gave that a try with one album, but the tracks still aren't didn't show on there once I'd transfered, despite the track number not going up, so god knows what's been overwritten with those!
Can anyone help?
Cheers!
Your firmware is not the PlaysForSure version.
Anyway, I just want to make sure that you have set up the directory and file naming convention correctly for MediaSource. Here is what you should do:
- Launch Creative MediaSource Oragnizer.
- Go to Tools->Settings->PC Music Library and click Properties. Set your preferred folder and file naming convention. Close the setting page.
- In the Sources window, click to view PC Music Library.
- Go to View->Right Panel View and select to view your MP3 player.
- Transfer the tracks from your MP3 player to MediaSource's PC Music Library by clicking the arrow pointing from right to left.
- If you have updated the track information of the tracks in your MP3 player, the updated track information will also be imported into the PC Music Library database. However, the tags of the files are not updated. Here is what you need to do. Right click the PC Music Library node in the Sources window or right click on any tracks in the PC Music Library window and select "Update Tag". This will update the tag of all the tracks or the selected tracks with the track information as seen in the PC Music Library.

File Error: A file of this name already exists
im using Final Cut Pro 5.1.4 and whenever I tried to export a sequence using compressor, I get that error message "File Error: A file of this name already exists". I tried reinstalling the program, nothing. What can I do to fix that?
Sounds like you already have a file by that name located in the place you want to export to. Try changing the name of your new file.

I was trying to find a file (iTunes Backup). When using finder/Spotlight they couldn't find the file.
I then opened up my timecapsule and searched for the file....tick-a-de-da it found it in yesterdays backup. I attempted to restore the file and got the prompt "A file with that name already exists in this location, would you like to keep both, replace the file or cancel the request.
So if the file is there why can't spotlight/finder find the file??
If it helps I get this from the terminal when checking if indexing was enabled.

Is there any possibilty that some of your files (a VI or DLL?) have been moved, renamed, or deleted? Also, what version of LabVIEW are you using and are you using any .NET DLLs? Another option to consider would involve VISA or DAQmx property nodes. Are you using any of these property nodes in your code? Here is a KnowledgeBase article to describe more about the VISA and DAQmx property nodes in a source distribution:

Quicktime displaying "A file by that name already exists."
When I try and play a video on my MacBook Pro off the internet that isnt youtube I get this stupid messsage from quicktimeX (A file by that name already exists.) and then it doesnt play the video.
Can anybody help me as this is really annoying.Hi, not sure if this is the answer to your problem but maybe it will help. I was having this same issue the other day. I was trying to convert some movie files into iPhone format and I kept getting this error right near the end of the conversion. I have done these conversions many times with no trouble but this time it just wouldn't work. I tried everything and it kept happening. Then I got another weird error message. And then I finally realized that the destination disk for the converted files didn't have enough room on it for the file! I guess I just assumed that Quicktime would tell me there wasn't enough room when I tried to start the conversion, not pretend that it was working then crap out when the disk reached its fill level.
Who knows, maybe the same thing is causing your error. Hope this helps! -

When I download a file, if a file of similar name already exists in the same download folder, the firefox downloads the file and renames it by adding numeric .1 to the file name.
I want the firebox to give me a prompt that similar file already exist, rather than automatically renaming it by adding suffix .1.Downloads Options

File name replaced with Tilde (~), name already exists error
When exporting jpg files in Lightroom 4 I've recently had an issue with some of the files containing a tilde (~), the 43rd file in the series often gets it as well as a few others. So in the series one might be named 43-MA~1.jpg instead of the 43-Maegan-details.jpg that I originally named the file.
When I've tried to rename these files from the finder I get the error "name already exists". If I rename it to something totally different it works but if I then try to rename it the original filename I wanted it gives me the error again or reverts to the name with the ~.
I'm running 10.6.8, and the problem has been happening the past few weeks but I've never had the problem before. I can't figure out what is causing the problem and it's not every export but it's a huge hassle to try and rename the files.This is the one error message that I have gotten in years with Encore. In my case, I had created a Project to be used as a "template," and had done the layout, Imported the common Assets, and then used this as the basis for a 17 DVD set, just Importing the unique Assets to each. Everything went perfectly, until disc 15. Maybe I was sloppy, as I had just completed 14 such Projects that day, but when I went to Build, I got that error. I tried un-Linking and re-Linking Assets, and checked all Menus. Nothing - just that error. Flushed Media Cache, and only the error. I posted here, with the details and asking for ideas.
In the meantime, I just grabbed my "template" Project and Imported those same, unique Assets. Used my altered Menus from bad Project and did my linking, exactly (or so I thought) as I had just done. This time, the Build was successful and # 15 thru 17 went without a hitch.
I had Saved that bad Project, and several folk offered suggestions. I tried them all, but never could get it to Build. I always got that error. I finally gave up testing and chalked it up to OE on my part, but I never figured out what I had done wrong, as I really thought that it was by the numbers.
Based on my experience, I would just start a new Project, being careful in the workflow. That was the only thing that worked for me.
Good luck,

The past few days, I've had trouble exporting certain sequences from FCPHD using Compressor 2. Basically, when I go to export via compressor, the error "File Name Already Exists" pops up. However, the sequence still appears in the compressor window. I then try and compress the sequence, but my Batch Monitor then fails with the following error: Media Server Application Unexpectedly Quit. Does anybody know why this would happen all of the sudden? Is it a sequence setting or a setting in comrpessor. Please help. Thanks!
Hey Jae233,
the first error you are receiving from compressor of "File Name Already Exists" simply means that you are trying to compress the file, with an exact name, to the exact destination thats it. try renaming your export from either QT or FCP, then when you compress in compressor, as long as you name your file, something else, like a *_V2.mov, instead of *.mov, then you wont have that problem. the reason it still appears in the compressor window is because compressor is trying to write over the file, or replace it if you will.
as far as batch monitor quiting on you, it might be related to actually trying to write over the file. this might be a bug, since it should write over the file. so just delete the original or faulty file (the *.m2v) and or rename your new file, and you shouldnt have any more problems!

SPD 2010 - How to know if a file with a given name already exists in a document library
Hi,
I've created a workflow using SPD. One of the steps in there is changing the name of the document to a clean name. This workflow fails if a document with this same name already exists in my document library. Is there a way to check in a SPD workflow if
a document with a given name already exists in my document library ?
Marc NemegeerHi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to know if a file with a given name already exists in a document library.
You can use a SharePoint Designer workflow to achive it.
To test to see if a document exists, you need to use condition:
If Current List:Name equals [%Current Item:Title%].docx
Here is a similar thread for you to take a look at:

When trying to delete messages in mail, I've been getting this message:“74608.emlx” couldn’t be copied to “Messages” because an item with the same name already exists." The numbers at the beginning are always different but the ".emlx" and the rest of the statement is always the same. How can I fix this problem?
Thanks

The delete button in Mail gives me this message: “91590.emlx” couldn’t be copied to “Messages” because an item with the same name already exists. The only thin that has changed is an OS update last evening. (Mountain Lion)
Thanks...it was spooky seeing the mail in my box suddenly disappear and blank after going to Mailbox and Rebuild. But "poof" it was up again and was able to delete without the messages telling me it had a duplicate in trash (which it did). Solved the problem.

Operation can't be completed because an item of same name already exists - Mavericks
I am trying to copy a large file folder (of a large iTunes library of music files) from a WD Live NAS drive to a new AirPlay Time Capsule via Finder on my Retina MBP. Every time I try it, I get the same error "operation can't be completed because an item of the same name already exists."
I have tried a number of the following solutions:
1. I cleared my cache out as in this thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2231287?start=120&tstart=0
2. I tried using the Terminal app, as in this thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/21786245#21786245
3. I tried closing both Finder windows once I started the copy operation, as in this thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2231287?start=105&tstart=0
4. I tried deleting/renaming all files that contained a ~ as in a thread I can't find right now.
All of these things are not working. I was able to copy several other large file folders (mostly of videos) without a hitch. I can't figure it out. Can anyone assist?

Yes, I had to format the 1TB to FAT before I use it.
whoa there. why did you format the drive FAT? that's an obsolete windows drive format and OS X is known to have various issues with it. this may easily account for your problems. strongly suggest you reformat the drive mac os extended.
"have you tried using the restore option within Disk Utility to copy the data back instead of doing it manually?"
There's nothing on the 1TB to restore because I sent it in for warranty exchange. So its brand new, nothing in it.
he was suggesting that you use the restore tab in disk utility to copy the 640GB drive to the new 1TB one. that's what I suggested too but I mentioned using superduper or CCCloner.
but you really should reformat the drive first. the only reason to use FAT is if you want to use the drive from both mac and windows. but then you'll likely have to live with the quirks of FAT and OS X. -
Operation can't be completed because an item of same name already exist
Hi, my first post. I've search the net for similar problems but nothing exact.
I have a Maxtor OneTouch 4 (1TB)that just returned cos I got it exchanged. While it was being exchanged, I used a Maxtor OneTouch (640GB). I had transferred everything from my 1TB to the 640GB.
Now that the 1TB's back, I want to transfer everything back. But when I try to transfer anything from the 640GB to the 1TB, an error message appears saying "operation can't be completed because an item "(of same name)" already exist."
After I click OK on the error message, only the folder gets copied over to the 1TB but NONE of its contents.
This only happens when I transfer folders. If I were to transfer individual files, e.g a picture, it's successful.
Things that do work:
- transferring files and folders from computer to both HDDs
- transferring files and folders from either HDDs to computer
So the only problem is transfers between both HDDs.
I read some thread that repairing permissions might help but when I enter Disk Utility, "Verify Disk permissions" or "Repair Disk Permissions" are both greyed out.
Does anybody have experience with this problem? Please help, the 640GB is exploding!
Thanks in advance!subcrapper wrote:

Dear All,
I’m writing to you because I really need help with solving the problem with my MS Outlook 2007 with SP3.
I’m using windows 7 64 bit. I’m using Exchange account.
The problem is when my mailbox on exchange is almost full so I’m making manual autoarchive.
From a few months I have problem with that matter because I have information “archive name already exists”.
I can see the exact path to the archive folder.
I can't create archive with the same name for example archive.pst, all the time during new archivisation I have to change the name of the archive file like: archive1, archive2, archive3….. Now in my mailbox I have something like
5 archivisation folders :(
Can You help me please with that?
