Message filename and path is too long to be copied-How to fix?

On Windows 7, TB ver 24.6.0, I use a program called SecondCopy to copy my email at shutdown from my C drive on my workstation to our file server.
I get several messages each day like this for the copy to be saved on our network data share:
7/4/2014 9:07:16 PM - Unable to create \\Oz\Data\System\Users\billr\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\5kxps6et.default\ImapMail\imap.googlemail-4.com\INBOX.mozmsgs\urn.correios.msg.201211050157328fade3baa08b405e9a940681276b34d9%401352080653478.rte-svc-onebox-na-1d-i-8da6c8f1.us-east-1.amazon.com.wdseml Cannot create file "". The filename or extension is too long
I've done some abbreviating of folder names, but my names pale in comparison to the LOOOOONG names TB gives them.
How can I fix this?

'''''I've done some abbreviating of folder names, but my names pale in comparison to the LOOOOONG names TB gives them.'''''
That is because wdseml files are simply files created to allow windows search to index your mail. I do not allow it and safe quite a lot of totally wasted disk space on a feature I do not use. Thunderbird has a perfectly good search engine. At least as good as windows search.
Your mail is stored in MBOX files higher up in the profile along with a file of the same name with an MSF extension that indexes the folder contents. One file and one index per folder of mail. In the example above, it will be \\Oz\Data\System\Users\billr\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\5kxps6et.default\ImapMail\imap.googlemail-4.com
So I would suggest backing up your profile minus these space takers and seriously consider simply disabling windows search. Tools menu (Alt+T) > options > advanced > General under system integration.
Beyond that we all have to live within the 256 character limitation on path length imposed by windows.

I made a 3-minute movie with my iphone 4S. When I attempt to share it via email or message I get a message that says it is too long, that I should try to make a clip. Of course I had rather send the whole thing. What are the possibilities? I think my music and likely my videos and pictures are in the cloud.

Filename and path sizes and characters

I am failing to load 4000+ tracks to my Ipod from my XP machine using Itunes 7.50.0.20. This is an Ipod Clickwheel 20GB. I want to load 17.86GB in the now empty Ipod. However it gets so far then stops saying there is not enough space.
I wonder if am I getting the wrong message?
Some of my tracks have very long filenames/paths e.g 124 charactere filenames and 213 character paths. I also have some filenames with " (double quote) in.
Could this be the reason?
If so what characters must I avoid and what size should the filename and paths be limited to?

Filenames and paths are irrelevant. They are renamed on the iPod anyway.
20 GB is not really 20. It is a rounded number all HD manufacturers use. Plus you lose some space due to formatting and the iPod software. There is also meta data for the songs which takes some space.

Installation error for iTunes 7.5 on XP: Specified path is too long

I just downloaded the most recent version of the installer, but every time I run it, I get this message midway through the "Copying new files" step:
+The specified path is too long:+
C:WINDOWSwinsxsx86Microsoft.VC80.CRT1fc8b
3b9a1e18e3b8.0.50727.762_x-ww6b128700
There's no denying that it's long, but I don't know what I'm supposed to do about that. I mean, I'm not the one who specified the path.
Clicking Retry just returns the same error endlessly, and clicking Cancel causes the installer to roll back all its changes and close itself.
What gives?

Crawl Log Error: "The filename or extension is too long."

Hello All,
I get this error for some files on my SharePoint 2010 error log. The fix suggested
here does not work as its for earlier versions of sharepoint 2010. I have verified the files in question have a title lenght of 120 characters and Name(Link) with character lenght of 71.
Whats weird is sharepoint indexes some similarly named files but exempts the other. These files are basically the same just named different as they belong to different users.
Any help?

It could be because of this also:
Assume that a custom list in a Microsoft SharePoint Foundation 2010 site or in a Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 site contains a multiline text column. If the data size of the custom column is more than 100 kilobytes (KB), only the first 100 KB of the data
is indexed when you perform a crawl on the SharePoint site. Additionally, you receive the following error message:
The filename or extension is too long.

Installing Itunes 7.3 - "specified path is too long"

I am trying to install Itunes 7.3 for Windows on an XP machine and I get error that the "specified path is too long"
The path given is:
"C:\Windows\winsxs\x86Microsoft.VC80.CRT_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b8.0.50727. 762x-ww6b128700"
I have 2 options. Retry and Cancel. So I have to cancel and then it rolls back everything done to that point.
I was able to get around this, though by creating that directory manually. Then when I hit retry, it gave me another long dir name like above. I created that one as well. And then it did this 3 more times, then it continued on to finish installing. Why did I have to manually create the directories that had these long unusual names?
Thanks,
Scotto

Error message :ORA-01704: string literal too long

Hello:
I need your help. I have a long long string must be insert to
database. I use long data type and long varchar data type to
define table. But I got the error messages is ORA-01704: string
literal too long when I insert data. Please tell me the solution.
Thank you so so much.

Hello,
I have a table with a column "XML_Data" of type CLOB.
I am trying to insert XML of the size 59975. I
get a error message ORA-01704: string literal too
long.
How to enter that large XML??
Regards,
Sanjeev.Try using Oracles XMLDB, by dropping the XML file into the XMLDB WebDAV area and then you can access it directly through the database "resource_view". No limits on file size whatsoever.
If you're using XML within an Oracle database you're better off doing things this way as it gets stored in an XMLType column (sys.xmltype) which is a superset object of the CLOB datatype, providing all the object methods you need to navigate, update and query your XML. You won't be able to do much with it just sitting in a CLOB column without re-writing the wheel that Oracle have already built.

Trying to add filename and path in footer of Word doc and it only lets me "Convert to PDF"?

I am running MS Office 03 and just installed Acrobat 9.0 Pro. When I try to insert the Filename and Path from the insert option of the footer properties, it only gives me the option to "Convert to PDF". I don't know why it's doing this, but it started after the install of Acrobat 9.0. What should I do?

To get the path ... event.target.path;
To get the file name .... event.target.documentFileName;

Given filename or path contains Unicode or double-byte characters.Retry using ASCII characters for filename and path What does this mean? it happen when I publish an OAM

Given file name or path contains Unicode or double-byte characters. Retry using ASCII characters for filename and path
What does this mean? It is happening when I try to publish an OAM for Dreamweaver.
Also: How can I specify the browser in Edge Animate? It is just going wherever. Are there no Preferences for Edge Animate?
BTW. Just call it Edge. Seriously. Do you call it Illustrator Draw? Photoshop Retouching?

No, my file name is mainContent.oam
My project name is mainContent.an
This error happens when I try to import into Dreamweaver. Sorry, I wasn't clear on that earlier.
I thought maybe it was because I had saved my image as a png. So re-saved as a svg, still get the error.
DO I have a setting is Dreamweaver CC that is wrong? Should I try this in Dreamweaver CS6? I might try that next.
Why is this program so difficult? I know Flash. I know After Effects. I can work the timeline part just great. It's always in the export that I have problems.
On a MacPro, 10.7.
Are you an Adobe person or just a nice helper?

Add filename and path to Designer form footer.

I am somewhat of a novice at creating forms in Livecycle designer and need help adding a filename and path to the footer of a form after clicking on the "save as' button. I have not found any answers anyplace so help would be greatly appreciated ASAP. Thank you!!

Create a field on your masterpage. Get rid of the caption, appearance=none and set as Protected. Also set your width to expand to fit. In the layout:ready event of your field, add this JavaScript:
this.rawValue=event.target.path
That should do it.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
