The file "name of podcast" couldn't be converted

Created a podcast in garage band. Shared it to Itunes. It shows up in the "playlist" of Itunes. Now I want to convert it for to the right size for an Iphone/Ipod. When I do that I get this:
The file "Podcast SF" couldn't be converted. You don't have write access for your Itunes Media folder or folder within. To change permissions select your Itunes Media folder in the Finder, and choose File ?Get info.
Now - I have done this to anything to do with ITunes on my Mac including the folders within - I have read/write access on everything. I'm still getting the same message.
Am I missing something?
Thanks,
Shelley

The File "..." Couldn't be converted.

When I try Importing a CD into my itunes library this message keeps popping up:
You don't have write acess for your Itunes Media folder or a folder within it. To change permissions, select your Itunes Media in the Finder, and choose File > Get Info.
I have tried doing that and nothing happens! This is very frustrating as it has happened with two of my CD's. Please Help!!

Hi Karl_ma.
I'm sorry that the file didn't convert for you. How large is the file you're trying to convert? There's a 100MB file-size limit. Overly complex files that fall within this limit may not convert, depending on your upload speed and so on.
You can try converting with OCR disabled as outlined in this document: How to disable Optical Character Recognition, which will simplify the conversion process.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara

The only legit source for ios 6 is from itunes.
Open itunes, connect iphone.
Does it prompt you to update?
How did you update to 5.1.1 three days ago? There is no legit way to do this at all. You can ONLY update to the latest available which was ios 6 three days ago.

When I try to save/export in updated Pages I get the message "The file (name) couldn't be opened". Any ideas?

I have just updated to Yosemite and updated Pages. The file opens fine from previous version, but when I try to save or export to GoogleDrive or the desktop, I get the error message "The File (name) cannot be opened". Any ideas?

How do I hide the file names/path names of embedded images in a PDF document?

I created a PDF document from a Word document, and the problem is that the PDF document shows the file names and path names for all of the embedded images in the PDF document. I don't want that information displayed. I don't want to send the PDF out to clients and have them read the names I've assigned to those images, plus it looks messy. And I've lost many of the original image files so they only exist in the Word document, thus I can't go back and rename them. I searched the internet for an answer but I couldn't find one anywhere.

When you create a tagged (accessible) PDF file from Word, placed bitmap images will use their filename as the "ALT text" if you don't define something else for the text to say, because an image without any ALT text is a failure against the accessibility standards. You can't change that default action, so you should put your own meaningful text into the ALT field for each image - which is what you should be doing anyway if the PDF is standards-compliant.
You can can set the text in Word, but it depends on your version as to where the dialogs are - Google for it - or you can change/delete it in Acrobat using the tags navigation pane on the left side of the window (right-click the sidebar if it's not visible). Drill down through the tags structure to find the "<Figure>" tag you want to change, right-click and choose Properties, then put something in the "Alternative text" field. This process isn't something you can easily automate, but if you don't need tags at all, you can save without tags (or print to PDF).

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.

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.

How can I add form field value to the file name in save as dialog box

I do not want the form to be saved automatically, just want the form to auto populate the "file name" only.
A little background on the forms I want to use: My company has 70 retail outlets, I'll use one of our pdf forms called an "Incident Report" as an example. I would like for a store manager to be able to complete the form, then email the form to the main office (I already have javascript to add field values and form name to the email subject line), once the main office receives it, I want for them to be able to file the pdf electronically on our server. We have mutliple forms that we use so I do not want any of the forms to automatically save anywhere, (at this time anyway) I just want the office personnel to be able to click "save as" (or whatever they will need to click) and the form automatically add certain field values from the pdf they have received, of which will be different each time the form is sent to the office (Date, store #, employee name etc.) in addition to the name of the form in the "File name" of the "Save As" dialog box. The main office employees will decide into which server file the pdf should be saved.
I'm using Acrobat 8 professional, the stores and office personnel use Adobe reader.
One little note: We currently print and file a lot of paper on a daily bases, as soon as I can get this to work, we are going green.
Me and a lot of trees in this will really apprecitate any help you can give with this! :-)

You might want to take a look at the document "Developing Acrobat Applications Using JavaScript" (js_developer_guide.pdf) which is part of the Adobe Acrobat SDK, which can be downloaded here. Read the "Privileged versus non-privileged context" (p. 45ff.). You will find an example for "Executing privileged methods in a non-privileged context". Should be almost exactly what you are looking for.
Small Outline: For security reasons ("the user always has to know what's going on") you are not allowed to use the "Doc.saveAs"-method without the user permission (--> in a non-privileged context). In order to reach the goal of a privileged context you can use a trusted function. You do this by creating a JavaScript file (*.js) in either the Application-JavaScript-Folder (default location on Windows systems: "%ProgramFiles%\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\Acrobat\Javascripts") or the User-JavaScript-Folder (default location on Windows systems: "%AppData%\Adobe\Acrobat\10.0\JavaScripts"). Add the following content to the new file:
myTrustedBrowseForDoc = app.trustedFunction( function ( oArgs ) {
     app.beginPriv();
          var myTrustedRetn = app.browseForDoc( oArgs );
     app.endPriv();
     return myTrustedRetn;
myTrustedSaveAs = app.trustedFunction( function ( doc, oArgs ) {
     app.beginPriv();
          var myTrustedRetn = doc.saveAs( oArgs );
     app.endPriv();
     return myTrustedRetn;
The developer guide actually wants you to add this content to the existing "config.js" file. I recommend creating a new file, since its easier to deploy in a network. Either way, every client/user who needs to be able to save documents this way, needs this JavaScript Code in his Application/User-JavaScript-Folder.
Within the Acrobat Document, which you want to obtain a certain file name, you can now use the trusted functions "myTrustedBrowseForDoc" and "myTrustedSaveAs" to store the file. To call the trusted functions and deliver the file name you can either you use a form field (button) or you add a new menu item. Add the following JavaScript Action to the button/menu item and change "Roller Coaster" to the name of the field which contains the value which you want to become the new file name:
var fileName = this.getField("Roller Coaster").valueAsString;
try {
     var oRetn = myTrustedBrowseForDoc({bSave: true, cFilenameInit: fileName + ".pdf"});
     try {
          myTrustedSaveAs(this, { cPath: oRetn.cPath, cFS:oRetn.cFS });
     catch(e) {
          console.println("Save not allowed, perhaps readonly.");
catch(e) {
console.println("User cancelled Save As dialog box");
Good Luck!

The file name format for Voice Memos has changed - how can I change it to the original format?

The file names for the voice memos changed in the last update. Now the day is first, which means when you sort them in a file folder, they sort by the number of the day and not year - month - day as before. Is there a way to change it back?

Restore it as new or sign out of that account and into yours. Both are covered in the manual.

What does this message mean? : "The file name "DSC_0088.jpg" is offline or missing." ?

What does this message mean? : "The file name "DSC_0088.jpg" is offline or missing." I am in the process of importing photos from iPhoto (don't really know what I'm doing....) and when I look at one of the imported photos that message pops up. I know what "DSC_0088.jpg" is. I don't know what it means that the file is "missing".

CASpyr,
Thank you so much for your reply. I have a couple of bigger issues that I am dealing with: too many photos on my laptop: 40,000! (Of course I have to throw away many of them, but that is time consuming). I have a MacBook Pro and have primarily used IPhoto. I have recently purchased 2 external drives and have transferred my photos to those, but I need a basic education about how photos are stored, copied, etc. I have recently been told that iPhoto only shows and deals with jpegs, not RAW. About 1/3 of my photos are RAW, so I purchased Lightroom, so I could do more with those RAW photos. I have been told by my local Mac store that I need to delete most of my photos from iPhoto, because it's causing problems. I am reluctant to do so until I am sure that all of the keywords, descriptions and editing I have done to these photos is not lost when deleted from iPhoto. I just watched a tutorial about importing to Lightroom and got out of it that I needed to copy photos from iPhoto to a file on my desktop and then copy to Lightroom. I did that, it seemed to work. Then (because of my storage/memory issues) I deleted the photos (just a few as an experiment) from that desktop file. I'm guessing that is why Lightroom doesn't recognize the the photos. It seems that (learned from another tutorial) that one uses "Add" , Lightroom is only connecting to the source of the photo, not actually copying it to the program. Sounds like I need to use the "Move" feature instead. My ultimate goal is to store the photos on the 2 external drives and eliminate most of them from my lapop. So my basic questions have to do with what data (metadata??) is copied from iPhoto to an external drive (RAW???) and what isn't copied. Basic understanding issues,obviously…. I hope this isn't too much to ask. If you can recommend a book or resource that can explain those basic issues to me I'd appreciate it. I just got back from a trip and I can't download my new photos until I manage the rest!
Thanks,
Nancy

Can't email files with spaces in the file name since 10.5.2 upgrade

Not sure if this is a bug with Leopard or I'm being stupid (possibly the later) but... Has anyone else experienced this issue and do you know what is causing it? I am currently unable to send a file that has a space in the file name. The only change on my system that has occurred since I last sent and email in a similar way is I've updated my OS from 10.5.1 to 10.5.2. Any ideas how to fix it?

Sorted. Well sort of. I still have the problem but I know why. Apparently O2 will not allow anyone to send an attachment which has a space in the name. They claim that this reduces spam - no idea why they think that will stop spam but there you go...

The itunes application could not be opened. The file name was invalid or..

...too long.
No idea when this started but cannot launch iTunes at all. To reiterate, when I try to launch iTunes I get the following error message: The itunes application could not be opened. The file name was invalid or too long.
I actually uninstalled it and reinstalled on my external drive and it came back with the same error. Any ideas on how to troubleshoot what caused this? I am at my wits ends with this!

I can't get mine to open at all. I even try clicking on a song to see if that will open it, nope. I have hooked up my iphone and ipods, nope. Click the icon, nope still nothing. It keeps erroring, but won't let me copy the error to put in here. I looked at the report it wants to send out, but there is nothing that says why it is erroring. Anyone else having this problem. Please email me at [email protected] to let me know what you did to solve it, or who I have to talk to to get it fixed... Thank you

I can not transfer date from one hard drive to another, I keep getting an error because I have two of the same file names and one file name is in caps and I cant change the file name

can not transfer date from one hard drive to another, I keep getting an error because I have two of the same file names and one file name is in caps and I cant change the file name. My original external has an error and needs to be reformatted but I dont want to lose this informations its my entire Itunes library.

Sounds like the source drive is formatted as case sensitive and the destination drive is not. The preferred format for OS X is case insensitive unless there is a compelling reason to go case sensitive.
Why can't you change the filename? Is it because the source drive is having problems? If so is this happening with only one or two or a few files? If so the best thing would be to copy those over individually and then rename them on the destination drive.
If it is more then you can do manually and you can't change the name on the source you will have to reformat the destination as case sensitive.
Btw this group is for discussion of the Support Communities itself, you;d do better posting to Lion group. I'll see if a host will move it.

Is there a way of printing the file name from within the Preview application?

If I'm printing a file within Apple's Preview application, I sometimes want to be able to print the file name at the edge of the document. Does anyone know of way of doing this?

Thanks for replying, that goes some way to answering the question, but I'm also looking to see how much space each app and its associated documents are using, i.e. Pages comes in at 112Mb for the app alone, but I'd like to know how much space is being used by the documents as well.
Once again thanks,
SG

How can I remove the list of 20 recently saved items when you click on the arrow on the far right side of the File Name screen for images, web pages, ect?

When I right click and go save image/page/ect as the file save popup screen appears and on the right side of the File Name bar there is an arrow. If you click the arrow it shows the last 20? items that have been saved and their save location. Is there anyway to not have the list of recent items there or at the very least a way to clear them? I'm running Firefox 17 on Windows 7.
Also when you save items as you were typing in the name you want to save them as it used to show filenames with the same name as you type that are saved in that directory so instead of typing the whole filename or copy/pasting you could start typing a filename and then hit the up or down arrow, backspace and just change the end of the filename without having to retype the entire filename.
Hopefully you understand what I mean and can help me fix it, thanks.

It's in the proper directory. I can scroll down the window on the right and see the files but if I start typing the file name of one of them the autocomplete drop down thing that shows matching file names does not appear. In the back of my mind I'm starting to think a setting got changed and then the list of matching file names stopped appearing but I can't recall what setting may have been changed, if it was a firefox or microsoft change or for certain if anything got changed at all. Yeah I know I'm not helping my own cause but what can you do.
