Problem with international file names on FAT volumes

I believe I've found a bug in QuickTime for Windows. I have a FAT32 volume on my Windows XP system where some folders containing QuickTime movies have Russian names. The QuickTime player fails to open these files, either from the Explorer shell or using the internal file dialog. Google Picasa, which embeds QuickTime to view the respective content, fails to "see" the movies as well. If I rename the folders such that the full path to the file contains only ASCII characters, the player is able to open it. Oddly enough, file names on NTFS volumes do not present such a problem regardless of international character use.
I encounter this behavior with QuickTime 7.0 and 7.1.

Hi
Once you select the file, hit the Enter key, and you should get an immediate renaming opportunity.

  • Problems with replace file name with starting and ending Bates number

    When applying Bates numbers to a set of Acrobat pdf files I am unable to replace file names with the starting and ending Bates number. This is important
    for me in a legal application.
    The Bates numbers are applied to each page of each of file without any problem as required.
    The Bates log file indicates that the files have been renamed as I wanted.
    I am running Adobe Acrobat Professional 9 with the update to 9.1.9 and Windows XP Service Pack 3 (the last or current service pack)
    In all other respects Adobe Acrobat 9 is running to my satisfaction.
    Has anyone else had this problem and found a solution?
    HRKExon

    Thanks for asking the question, I hadn't heard of Bates numbers before and this gave me a chance to look up something new.
    When I googled for ' bates number legal index ' I found this document:
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/batesnumbering9.pdf
    Maybe that will help.

  • 6125 - problem with music file names

    Hi everyone,
    I bought a Nokia 6125 last week and have a slight problem with the music player if anyone can help please:
    The music files that I have transferred to my phone have the correct song and artist name on the memory card in the Gallery, but when I open up Music Player it just displays them as squares. Any ideas on how to solve this please?
    Thanks,
    Sammy_JJ

    Hi,
    the problem might occur, because of language versions are different(source and your phone). Or the filename coding is not supported in the phone.

  • Problem with Video File Names

    When I did the last big update for my Storm 9530, all of my video files did the following.  I ripped some DVD's and editted the names to what I wanted them because before they said "DVDRIP..." when I was done.  When I got my Storm, I put the files on it and they worked fine.  However, after the upgrade, all the file names in my list are back to what the file names were before I editted them right after they were ripped.  But, when I select the properties for a file, it has the correct file name and when I try to rename them it has the correct file name highlighted.  I've tried deleting them all and readding them but it always goes back to being wrong.  Is there a way to fix this so that I can put my files back on and know what each of them is without having to look at the properties of each?

    It sounds like you you need to change a setting in the view somehow. I think what is being displayed is the media tag information. I hope this helps point you in the right direction.

  • I just order 8 calendars from iPhoto and they came to me fine. Now I need to order two more but when I go thru the process I get a message  saying:unable to assemble calendar. There is a probleme with the photo with the file name"(Null)"   more........ .

    Would someone be able to explain to me the following issue with Iphoto?
    I ordered 8 same calendars for my soccer team and received them fine. Although a couple of pictures on it are a little off (out of focus). I need to order two more of the same calendars but when I go thru the process ireceive an error message saying:
    "Unable to to assemble  calendar" There is a problem with the photo with the file name "(Null)" The full resolution version of this photo either cannot be located or is corrupt. Please replace this photo or delete it from your calendar.
    How can  I fine this "corrupt" photo? How did it go thru with the first batch of calendars but won't go thru now?
    Thank you for your help.   

    Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start
    with Option #4 and then #1 as needed.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Error: There is a problem with the file and it cannot be copied

    I've been trying to copy (and essentially move) the contents of an NTFS-formatted external HDD to my iMac's internal HDD so I can then format the external HDD to Mac OS Extended. However, when I simply try to drag and drop, I get an error during the transfer that states:
    There is a problem with the file and it cannot be copied.
    I tried a basic cp command in Terminal to copy all contents of the external HDD to a folder on my iMac's desktop, and found that while there were no errors, there were many individual files missing full chunks of data (ie. original file would be 4GB on my external HDD, but only 350MB on my desktop).
    Any ideas on how I can successfully copy a large amount of data (approx. 170GB) from my external HDD to my internal HDD while avoiding this error, so I can ultimately format my external HDD to Mac OS Extended? ANY help is greatly appreciated.

    That's not a good error to see. It indicates something is very wrong. Pulled out of an old programming header file:
    ioErr = -36, /*I/O error (bummers)*/
    If Apple labelled it "bummers," they had a good reason! Unfortunately, that doesn't bode well for you.
    Try running Disk Utility again. Keep repairing over and over until one of two things happens: 1) Disk Utility says no repair was needed, or 2) Disk Utility reports the same error in two sequential repair sessions and is unable to repair it both times.
    If you hit the second case, or if you hit the first but still can't copy files, then you've got two basic options:
    = Buy a third-party disk utility or two and try them. Try TechTool as a first choice.
    = Recover what files you can and write the rest off as gone.
    = Send your drive to a data recovery service and hope they can extract more than you can.
    Of course, none of this is necessary if you have a backup of the contents of that hard drive. (If you don't, this is your learning experience. Once bitten, twice shy, so they say.) Also, regardless of the outcome, once you've got your data or have decided it's gone, you're going to want to wipe that drive completely clean. Reformat the drive with Disk Utility, then when it's done, select the drive in Disk Utility and hit command-i. (Don't select the new volume you just created on that drive, select the drive itself. Mine looks like "232.9 GB Hitachi ..." with the volume name indented underneath.) Look for an item that says S.M.A.R.T. Status, and if it doesn't say Verified, you might as well throw out the drive. Don't trust any more data to it.
    If all appears safe, you can start moving data back onto it. But, as always, make sure you have a backup of everything!

  • Problem with internal speakers of MacBook Pro

    Hi,
    I wanted to know if anyone have experienced a problem with internal speakers of Mac Book Pro. In my MackBook the Internal speaker volume goes down automatically. I checked the System Preferences>Sound>Output , from there I check that it is in the middle ( Balance) However, the problem is still the exists. Just for testing I played an audio file and I moved the bar toward the right speaker it is the same and when I move toward the left speaker the whole sound goes off . Looks like one speaker stops working completely. Then I checked the Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup > Configure Speakers  from there I checked both left and right speakers and the channel frequency is fine. Still same issue.  I have no idea what is going on , I really need your suggestions to get this fixed.
    Thanks in advance.

  • SFTP MGET of large files fails - connection closed - problem with spool file

    I have a new SFTP job to get files from an FTP Server.  The files are large (80mg, 150mg).  I can get smaller files from the ftp site with no issue, but when attempting the larger files the job completes abnormally after 2 min 1 sec. each time.  I can see the file is created on our local file system with 0 bytes, then when the FTP job fails, the 0 byte file is deleted.
    Is there a limit to how large an ftp file can be in Tidal?  How long an ftp job can run?
    The error in the job audit is Problem with spool file for job XXXX_SFTPGet and an exit code of 127 (whatever that is).
    In the log, the error is that the connection was closed.  I have checked with the ftp host and their logs show that we are disconnecting unexpectedly also.

    I believe there is a limitation on FTP and what you are seeing is a timeout built into the 3rd party application that tidal uses (I feel like it was hardcoded and it would be a big deal to change but this was before Cisco purchased tidal)  there may have been a tagent.ini setting that tweaks that but I can't find any details.
    We wound up purchasing our own FTP software (ipswitch MOVEit Central & DMZ) because we also had the need to host as well as Get/Put to other FTP sites. It now does all our FTP and internal file delivery activity (we use it's api and call from tidal if we need to trigger inside a workflow)

  • Spotlight has stopped working properly. Even when a known file is entered (with full file name) in search, it fails to find it. Any ideas?

    Spotlight has stopped working properly. Even when a known file is entered (with full file name) in search, it fails to find it. It finds some things, but is not to be depended upon. Any ideas?

    Try reindexing spotlight: Spotlight: How to re-index folders or volumes - Apple Support
    If you still have problems, open Console app, select All Messages, then search for mds in the search field. Then search for mdworker. See if there are any messages indicating it is having problems with certain files.
    You can also delete the index altogether and cause it to reindex with a command in Terminal. I have always assumed the method above will do the same, but I'm not certain. You must run this command while  logged into an admin account. Copy the whole line and paste it into Terminal.
    sudo mdutil -E /
    sudo temporarily elevates your privileges and will ask for your password. When you type it in, there won't be any response in the Terminal. Just type it and hit return.

  • Two cams with same file-name...

    Hi! I have had an EOS400D for a couple of years, and have recently bought a 40D. The problem now is that the 40D has been used so much on a trip to the Philippines, the camera´s file numbering are the same on a series of pics. Both cams used simultanously. This confuses Aperture, so when i preview one pic, another shows up... Doues anyone have a solution for this?

    That's got nothing to do with the file names, as Aperture uses it's own internal IDs to keep track of each image, regardless of file names.
    What's happened is that the thumbnails for each image and the index which tells Aperture which thumbnail is for which image don't match up.
    To fix this you need to rebuild the Library - quit Aperture, then launch it again while holding down the Command and Option/Alt keys. This will rebuild the database from scratch.
    Obviously, don't do this until after you've backed everything up, just in case...
