Problem "archive name already exists" Outlook 2007

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?
Thank You in advance!

I recommend that you post this in the Outlook Forum:  http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/outlook/threads

    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?

    HT2500 Error when deleting email: Apple Support Communities

  • 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?
    Many thanks...

    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!

  • HT5767 My mail all of a sudden would not allow me to delete messages in my inbox saying, "couldn't be copied to "Messages" because an item with the same name already exists." Found it duplicates the message I wanted deleted in trash.

    Still  using the @mac.com   mail  address and up   to date on everything, but have not gone to Maverick.  All of a sudden Mail wouldn't let me delete.  Said that title of email was already in trash.  And sure enough it was.  Clicking on the help button on the message gets Nothing.
    The selected topic is currently unavailable.
    The topic you were trying to view could not be found.
    "couldn’t be copied to “Messages” because an item with the same name already exists."
    Any ideas.  My mail is not tied to gmail etc.. just all by it's lonesome.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and  Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • 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,

  • File name already exists?

    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!

  • 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!

  • Firefox could not install the search plugin from "chrome://tnt2toolbar/content/yos.xml" because an engine with the same name already exists.

    I can't search for anything. HELP!!!
    Thanks

    That is a problem with an extension that tries to install a search bar. The tnt2toolbar should give you a clue about which extension. You didn't add troubleshooting information with the list of installed extensions, so I can't give a suggestion about which extension is causing this.

  • Home network name already exists in Home Hub's dat...

    Hello,
    How do I delete this database as it's causing so much trouble/problems by assigning multiple names to same static IP address. How do I connect to the database and delete all the record or create new static address assignment. Each time i tried to rename it back, i keep getting the error "Home network name already exists in Home Hub's database." Remote desktop is now connecting to different machine due to this issue
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Thanks for your reply. I have some computers with static IP physically assigned to them (not via home hub but on physically on the computer itself), when I go to Hub manager, advanced settings and home network, the device name with static IP are mapped to wrong IP, if i click on the name and change it, I then get errorr about the database. I am not talking about or refering to DHCP/DHCP table. My problem is with static IP I physically assigned to some devices but coming up on Home Network with a diffrent name mapped to assigned IP on those computer. Really I should be able to change the name to the right one and click on save.
    I have some server with static IP and when I RDP (using netbios name) into them, they're connecting to wrong system, checking the hub gave me visibility that those system are mapped to those IP of connected system
    Example:
    System A - IP 10.10.10.10 (physically assigned on the machine)
    System B - IP 10.10.10.11 (Physically assigned on the machine)
    RDP to System A, you get system B desktop, checked Home HUB, system A is mapped to system B IP (not sure if I'm making sense here)
    Please forget about DHCP, those are all fine and not really worry about those one
    My question is: How do I clear Home Hub database as described in the error, is this possible

  • A workflow with the same name already exists.

    Hi, whenever I am trying to create a workflow in my MOSS teamroom, I am getting the error "A workflow with the same name already exists". I am getting this error message no matter what name I give. I checked all the lists and document libraries to see if there are any workflows but that doesnt seem to be the case. I opened the site in SPD and there also no workflows are listed.
    Any insight will be appreciated.xwindow

    I know it is a bit outdated but someone might found this helpful:
    The other possible problem could be that the SPD lost connection with the Sp site for a sec but on the local machine there is a workflow with that name. ( In this case if you try to rename your workflow it gave you the same error message )
    So have a look in SPD click on All files then select Workflows and delete the workflow that is causing the problem.
    After this exercise you will be able to rename or re save your Workflow.

  • "91590.emlx" couldn't be copied to "Messages" because an item with the same name already exists. How do I fix this?

    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.

  • Messages could not be moved to the mailbox "Trash - "122730.emlx" couldn't be copied to "Messages" because an item with the same name already exists.

  • 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 Nemegeer

    Hi,
    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
