File format? Translators? Not supported by MacLinkPlus?
I have mixed feelings about Pages but find that I'm using it more and more, (mostly because AppleWorks' font rendering on screen is so ugly). But I'm very nervous about committing much of my personal work to a nonstandard file format. Yes, I understand that Pages itself can export to other file formats, but that's not quite the same thing, particularly since there seems to be no batch support. I've been using personal-computer software for a long time and have been bitten by problems in the past. I don't like relying on any single piece of software as a way to access and/or translate files.
MacLinkPlus does not seem to support the .pages format, and that worries me.
1) Has Apple published specifications for the .pages file format?
2) Does anyone know whether MacLinkPlus is going to support Pages? I'm surprised that it doesn't given that Pages has been out for over a year...
3) Does anyone know of translators for Pages other than MacLinkPlus?I have mixed feelings about Pages but find that I'm using it more and more, (mostly because AppleWorks' font rendering on screen is so ugly). But I'm very nervous about committing much of my personal work to a nonstandard file format.
Other than OpenOffice and Pages, every word processor uses a proprietary file format. If you don't like Pages then you're only left with OpenOffice (and that's not the best experience on the Mac).
1) Has Apple published specifications for the .pages file format?
Yes. Mostly complete XML specs for both Pages and Keynote are available on Apple's Developer web page for Apple Applications. Third party software developers are already doing import/export of Keynote documents. (Pages and Keynote are similar in that their file formats use the open XML standard.)
2) Does anyone know whether MacLinkPlus is going to support Pages?
Only DataViz can answer that. There's no reason they can't offer translation in MacLinkPlus for Pages. But I doubt they will when a user can currently export to Word, RTF, PDF, etc from Pages. What would be the incentive for DataViz to offer this feature, and why would someone spend the exorbitant amount they charge for MacLinkPlus. And I doubt that offering a batch translation feature for Pages documents would be a big enough feature for many people to buy MacLinkPlus.
3) Does anyone know of translators for Pages other than MacLinkPlus?
MacLinkPlus doesn't translate Pages (see above). OmniGroup already import/export Keynote 1 & 2 documents in OmniOutliner. They could also add Pages import/export as it's similar to Keynote, but I'd guess there's not yet sufficient customer demand for Pages. Not that importing into OmniOutliner would be any help.
Before deciding what to do, consider waiting till after the Macworld Expo keynote this coming Tuesday. It's very possible that Pages 2.0 will be available with a bunch of improvements and features. Maybe improved import/expoert will be one of the improvements.
Cheers. -
When trying to move a project from Macbook Pro laptop to iMac, the program says, 'file system of the destination volume is not supported.'
This is true for both a thumb drive and a SD card. What is the fix? ThanksFormat them OS X Extended. Aperture libraries have to be on OS X Extended formatted volumes.
Use Disk Utility. Remember when you format a drive you erase all the data that is on it. So it there is anything you want on those copy it off first. -
Creating H.264 FLV file as per Spec, does not play with Adobe Flash Player 10
1] We have developed an application to encapsulate H.264 video inside FLV container, following the "Adobe Video File Format Specifications 9". According to the specification the H.264 video data is embedded in FLV tags, as follows
FLV Headers: Meta Tag: Sequence of Video Tag.
But in spite of following the specifications, Adobe Flash Player (version 10) could not play this FLV file. However, some players were able to play this FLV file. The fact that Adobe did not play it was very surprising.
2] We searched and finally found one FLV file, which contained H.264 video (unlike others which usually contained Sorenson's H.263). This file was played fine by Adobe Flash Player. So it led us to investigate further and we found that
[A] the video tag was preceded with 2 byte length of the every "contained" H.264 NALU. This applied to all the NALUs / I-slices/P-slices and so on. This is not documented.
[B] Only the first video tag (containing video sequence params), is preceded by the sequence "01 4D 00 15 FD E1" followed by 2 byte length and then the video data (sequence parameters in this case). What are these additional bytes ? where are they documented ?
Could you pls share your views about the above and point us to the documents, if any, which are in agreement with the above observations.We think there is a discrepency in the document related with authoring FLV file with H.264 content.
Thanks,
Abhijeet Wakle
Sigro SystemsYou could push it out to one or two users and test. Moving up to the latest version of Flash Player is USUALLY a good idea, however, if you happen to be on Captivate 4, be aware that there was an issue reported some time ago that once you upgraded your development machine to Flash Player 11 it interfered with publishing out courses. I cannot remember seeing a bugfix issued to Cp4 users for this (someone correct me if I'm wrong). If you're on Cp5 or 5.5 this shouldn't be an issue.

I consulted your website for details on how to back up my ITunes Library on my PC-found the article very helpful-I reached step 7 - clicked ok and the following message came up: "Copying files failed. The file name was invalid or too long." Please can you help and advise what I should do or how to fix this issue. My pc operating system is Windows 7 Home Basic
You can select a group of tracks and consolidate from the right-click context menu. You coud try consolidating in batches, say all songs by artists beginning with A, then B, etc, then the other media types, until you can isolate a problem track and then try moving that by hand and fixing the broken link.
I also have two scripts that could help you, Unconsolidated and ConsolidateByMoving. The first can make a playlist of all unconsolidated tracks, the second can consolidate a selection of tracks by moving them instead of copying.

HT1751 Consolidating files failed. The file name was invalid or too long. How to trouble shoot this?
I am trying to move my iTunes library from old XP PC to Windows 7 PC, using an external hard drive. Using tutorial and signed in as administrator. Trying to consolidate my library and receive error message " Copying files fail. The file name was invalid or too long". Don't know what to do as next step. The library is sitting on the hard drive under the Administrator ID (My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music).

I am using itunes 10 and trying to consolidate my files. I keep getting the error "Copying files failed. The file name was invalid or too long". How can I indentify what file is causing this problem or resolve this issue?
BUMP
Yes, I just get that message. I don't see how I could investigate this problem.
I didn't mention that this happened when I was consolidating my library, not copying files to another computer.
In other words, I'm using a "normal" itunes procedure, itunes won't complete it, and won't tell me exactly why or how to figure out how to fix it...
Is there at least some easy way to tell which files were successfully copied to my itunes music folder so I can work on moving the uncopied files?
Can anybody help me? -
ITunes v10.6.1.7 "Copying files failed. The File name was invalid or too long."
I'm trying to organize my music files using iTunes 10.6.1.7 and I keep getting the error message "Copying files failed. The File name was invalid or too long."
I've got music folders by artist in both the iTunes Music folder and the iTunes Media/Music folder. When I add certain files by drag/drop they sometimes get lost and I don't want that to happen anymore. I used to just consolidate my music files using the File/Library/Organize Library option and that worked, however now when I do that, I get the error message.
I'm a novice and the only online stuff I see is both confusing and refers to earlier versions of iTunes.
My concern is that I have heard that people lose entire libraries of their music when they trry to fix things like this and I don't want that. If this is of any importance, I have several files called iTunes library and temp library. I have no idea what that all means but I'm scared to death of it.
Also, I can't get to the "re-organize library" link at all. It won't let me.
One thing that be of some interest is that when I pull up the properties of the music and media/music files they are marked "read only" I'm also afraid to touch that!
Please help and please know that I am a dummy. Be kind and be clear. Step by step would be great, with images even better. Thanks.Perhaps nobody knows the answer? We're fellow users here answering questions in our free time when we think we've something useful to contribute.
You can choose to *Consolidate selected tracks* with a right-click menu. Perhaps if you can identify a specific track that won't consolidate and examine the full path to the file & the path that iTunes would create when it consolidates the problem might become apparent. For example iTunes may not be able to move files if the source or destination path length exceeds 255 characters.

Consolidate Problem. Copying files failed. The File name was invalid.
Hi to everyone,
My system is 10.5.8, iTunes 9.2.1 (4)
I tried to consolidate my iTunes library to an external HD. After about 100GB of copied music, I got the message : Copying files failed. The File name was invalid.
Now everytime I try again to consolidate, I get immediately this message. I am looking everywhere for a solution, and I only find the same problem for Windows iTunes users.
Actually I found very useful this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1708372,
which talks about with which order iTunes consolidates the media, so by digging a little in the folders to find which track has the problem and make the fix. It says that consolidate start copy the files by the date added order. So I can go in my new iTunes media folder and find the latest added track, then go back in iTunes, sort by date added the songs and locate the next song, to make the fix. However in my case, all previous and next songs (by date added), have been copied in the new locations.
I am stuck. I have a remaining 300GB of music to consolidate and dont know how to proceed.
Any help would be much appreciated..Finaly, I managed to solve it by myself...,
following the help I found from the post of the thread I mentioned on my question...
What was the problem that made things more difficult in my case, is that a big amount of songs have been added at the same time, with just a few seconds time distance. So it was tougher to locate what was the last imported song, and where iTunes consolidation had stopped. Actually I had groups of about 100 songs with the same timestamp of date added and the consolidation was following the rule of the "date added" but not exactly with the order the songs was showing in the iTuned library. So I started checking all the songs very close to the last added in the media folder one by one with the "show in finder" command, and then I managed to found what was the one with the problem.
Regarding the problematic file, that was a midi file that had been imported in my iTunes.
I hope this will help anyone else that might have the same problem as me in the future. -
How can I convert an Excel (2008) document to Numbers. When I drag the Excel document onto the Numbers icon I get, "Import error. The file format is invalid.
That extension identifies the most current Excel file format, a format that can be opened by Numbers '09 (and by Numbers '08).
A check with Numbers '09 shows it capable of opening .xlsx files when right-clicked (and Numbers chose as the application to open, when double-clicked (if Numbers has been set as the default application to open this type of file, or when dragged to the Numbers icon in the dock.
I see two possibilities for Numbers inability to open it and the message you receive:
1. The file is not actually an Excel file, and the sender has added the .xlsx extension to the filename manually.
2. The file is an Excel file, but has somehow been corrupted.
Have you tried opening the file with a different application? The open source Office suites, OpenOffice.org, LibreOffice and NeoOffice can also open .xlsx files. If they're unable to open this one, that would point toward the file itself being faulty. You can download these applications from their rspective websites, linked in the names above. All request a donation to support future development, but only Neo requires one to have been made recently, and that only for the current release (which won't be necessary to open .xlsx files).

Copying music failed. The file name was invalid or too long.
I went to consolidate my music, but when it got about 2/3 of the way through, it stopped with the error message, "Copying music failed. The file name was invalid or too long." I don't know which file it is referring to. How do I find this out?
I needed to cosolidate so I could backup the entire library to DVD. Now I'm left with two partially complete libraries with many duplicates.To find out which file it was, look at where you were
copying them too and see which was the last file
copied - and then go back to your source, and go to
the next one - it should be that one.
I just wanted to add that I had the same issue (failure to finish copying and "invalid or too long" error msg) and at first didn't see how looking for the last file copied would work since iTunes is copying into folders.
Duh.
Reverse sort by date modified (newest folder at the top of the list) then drill down to the folder containing the files being copied. Voila. There was the (missing) culprit, and I knew which file to rename in the source folder.
Thanks for the kick in the brain pan.

I updated my pages app on my ipad and when I tried to open a document it says the file format is invalid. None of my documents are opening pleaser help!!!!
Try this. It worked for me.
I discovered the same problem. I had an older version of Pages on my iPad. After updating it to the latest version all my previous documents created in pages for the iPad were rendered unreadable and a message stated that they were an invalid format. Why for the life of me would a program that was created by Apple and sense updated not be able to read previous versions...well that's a whole other sad story. Any way I discovered how to fix it but it would require that you had backup your iPad on a computer and not emptied your trash. If this sounds good than here is how you fix it... And it worked for me.
These steps will enable you to reinstall a previous version of the Pages app so you can be able to read and edit older documents.
FIRST: if you did backup your iPad using your computer and did not empty your trash, GOTO the trash and look for PAGES 1.4 (or other number) ipa ( that's the file extension) ie PAGES 1.4 ipa.
SECOND: move that file out of the trash and onto your desktop. Once you do this, double click on it and a box will come up stating a newer version has been found and do you want to revert back to older version. ANSWER YES. It will than automatically place and overwrite the older version back into the file on iTunes that contains the rest of your backed up apps.
THIRD: and this is where it is important that your backup would have to have been on your computer. I'm not sure if backup on the cloud will work. iCloud backup at your own risk And here's why. Before you restore you will need to remove the latest version of Pages off your iPad by doing the usual : holding down the home button until the apps wiggle and remove by pressing on X on app. Removing off your iPad will also delete all your documents but if you have a previous backup on your computer those documents will be stored safely on itunes and will return.
FORTH: plug your iPad into your computer and allow it to sync so iTunes will recognize it. Once iTunes is up and you can see that it recognizes your iPad, GOTO "FILE/DEVICES/RESTORE FROM BACKUP." ******* DO NOT CLICK ON BACKUP***** click on RESTORE FROM BACKUP. This will reinstall all previous settings and documents that were their when you backuped PLUS the older version of Pages that you placed back from the above steps. Let it run through all the setups ( this could take up to 20 minutes...depending on amount of data and photos and apps).
FIFTH: Once everything is reinstalled a message will popup on your computer stating "to leave iPad plugged in until iTunes recognizes it again" ( it's basically rebooting itself). Once done (leave iPad plugged in still) GOTO iPad and follow the steps. IMPORTANT: iPad will ask you if you want to SET IT UP AS A NEW IPAD, BACK UP FROM THE CLOUD or BACK UP FROM ITUNES.....press SET UP AS NEW IPAD. Follow all of the steps required. Once complete GOTO iTunes on computer, look for "IPAD" plus a little arrow ( should be on upper right corner of iTunes window, click on it ( this will safely disconnect your iPad from iTunes) . Now unplug iPad from computer and go to your iPad and look for the older version of Pages. It should be there along with all your old documents ( readable and editable too).
Hope this helps. Good luck. -
IWork export to Office error "The file format is invalid" in pages, keynote and numbers.
I am running iWork 09 (latest versions in all cases)*. When I try to export files from all three of the applications Pages, Keynote and Numbers into the relevant Office formats, I get the error "The file format is invalid." It works fine with PDF or RTF export.
I am able to open the same files in the iPad versions of thess iWork apps, and then export them. While this workaround will do for now, I'd like to be able to just export correctly.
Anyone have any suggestions on what might be wrong?
Thanks,

IWeb 08 error message "The file format is invalid"
I have been reading all of the problems regarding publishing iweb pages at the moment, I too cannot publish my site but I get a different error message
"The file format is invalid"
Can anyone help as to why I might be getting this message?
My iDisk seems to have a very old version of my website stored and I don't know where to look to find the current versions files?
Why hasn't iDisk got the most up to date version of my iWeb site and how do I get it to have?
Which folder on the iDisk should your iWeb files be stored in?
Sorry to ask so many questions but I am new to the publishing part after spending weeks building a site only to find it I get an error and my iDisk file structure holds old files.When I opened iWeb I could see the most up-to-date version of my site, I could edit it and save it (to where I don't know). When I opened the web and sites folder on my iDisk it contained only the files from a previous version of my website created months ago.
I tried looking for the Domain file for my iWeb site and looked in my home folder, application support and then iWeb but the iWeb file in App support was empty.
I believe the iWeb file in App support is where the Domain file should be located, correct?
I have used Time machine to go back a week and have located the domain file and have restored it. The domain file now sits in the iWeb folder in App support in my Home, where it should be.
Now when I load iWeb I see the version of my website that was created a week ago which is fine but iDisk still has the old file structure of my site from months ago.
Can I delete the old file structure completely from the Sites folder on my iDisk? this should remove the old version of my website shouldn't it?
How do I get the restored version of my website to appear in iDisk?
Do I simply copy the Domain file into the sites folder on iDisk?
My iWeb files on Mobile me are also the months old versions, how do I update these so my new site is all that I can see?
Any answers to my 'File format' problem when trying to upload, is it because I don't have my iWeb files in the correct places? -
I exported a file on my imac as a word document but now I can't open it. It says Import error: The file format is invalid.
