"You cannot copy some of these items to the destination..."

I cannot copy files and/or folders to a Samba fileserver (Samba 3.0.20a). I get the following error:
"You cannot copy some of these items to the destination because their names are too long or contain invalid characters for the destination. Do you want to skip copying these items and continue copying the other items?"
See image here:
http://img217.imageshack.us/my.php?image=cannotcopy4em.jpg
This happens on systems running OS X 10.3.9 on up to 10.4.6. It can happen with a filename as small as "test.txt" or something over 31 characters in length.
Is anyone else having this problem?
PowerMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

Please know that the limitation is not in OS X, but an interaction with your SNAP device: the SNAP device uses SMB (although an older-style AFP filesharing connection option should also be on by default), and as such the drive inside is likely formatted as FAT32 (or an emulation of same) which does not allow/permit the same characters (or filename lenght) as HFS+ (native Mac drive format)

  • "You cannot copy 'iPhoto Library' to the destination because ...

    ++its name is the same as the name of an item on the destination, except for the case of some characters."
    This is the error message I get when I attempt to copy my iPhoto Library folder (58.07 GB) from my Macintosh HD to my (just purchased) Lacie 1TB 'Rugged" external hard drive.
    I partitioned the external hard drive (using Disk Utility) - the partition table is GUID and the drive is formatted MAC OS Extended (Journaled). The partition to which I want to copy the iPhoto Library is named 'Images'. There is no way that there is anything on there called iPhoto Library.
    I need to backup my iPhoto Library so that I can erase (re-format) my hard drive on my MacBook prior to installing OS X 10.6.x !!
    I'm terrified that I will lose my 15,000 plus images saved in iPhoto if I cannot resolve this issue.
    Can anyone please offer any suggestions as to what might be causing this problem?
    Cheers

    Thank you for your response LarryHN. I do use SuperDuper and I have made a full bootable copy of my Macintosh HD drive on a different partition of the Lacie 'Rugged'.
    However, I thought that may not solve my problem because I'm presently running 10.5.8 and I need to erase my Macintosh HD and reformat it to get rid of the Mac OS Extended (Case Sensitive, Journaled) formatting.
    If I were to re-format to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and then install OS X 10.6 wouldn't trying to 'restore' from the Super Duper backup send me back to 10.5.8???
    Please excuse my ignorance because I'm really not sure about how 'restores' work - I thought it would send me backwards .....
    Cheers

  • Error "you cannot copy an enterprise vault shortcut" in outlook 2007 calendar

    I am trying to copy a meeting from a calendar in outlook 2007 that my co-worker has shared with me over to my calendar. I used to be able to just drag and drop it on my calendar and it would make a copy. Now every time I try to copy anything I get this
    error "you cannot copy an enterprise vault shortcut" you can restore the item and then copy the restored item. Why am I getting this and how can I stop it or even how can I "restore" the item and get around it.

    If your organisation uses the Symantec Enterprise Vault product, this seems to be a known issue:
    http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH143955
    You should have your email administrator check into this with Symantec (it's not a Microsoft product issue)

  • You cannot copy inactive team members

    Hi Gurus,
    when trying to assign a key member in oracle projects it is showing the Note As- You cannot copy inactive team members.
    I have checked the member in HRMS , He is in active assignment
    Please help me out from this issue ,Thanks in advance.

    Hi Charlotte and Damon - I'm taking a look at this now. Are you both in the default SharePoint permissions mode? If you are not sure then Server Settings will not be showing Manage Users as an option.
    Also let me know if it is now working for you.  Sometimes we will apply fixes and problems go away - but I can't see anything specific to this area that has been changed recently.
    Best regards,
    Brian.

  • Adding  some more  line  items  in  the  unconfirmed  Transfer Order

    Hi  All,
         We do kitting activity at our warehouse i.e. several components make up an assembly of a particular final product. The WH creates a production order(BOM) based on which the system creates TO wherever stock of individual components are available for picking. However, the remaining components which are required to make up the product are still awaited in such a case (stock unavailable at present). Under this situation, is it possible that the balance remaining components can be added to the same original TO created earlier (i.e. where only available line items of that TO is confirmed and the TO header is still open).
    Alternatively, can we add  some more  line  items  in  the  same unconfirmed  Transfer Order to facilitate this kitting process and thereby confirming the TO header finally.
    A quick feedback will be appreciated. Thanks.
    Regards
    Jaman

    Hi,
    If you know what all the items you will include in one TO, even though you haven't pick the items;
    In the TO, you have an option to make the items "Inactive" for which picking hasn't been done.
    After making the items "Inactive", if you save the TO, it will allow you to confirm the TO, but then, it will create the new TO with the inactive items.
    Hope its clear.

    HI,
    By activating the special fields you can the vendor number, but use the new reprot called "FAGLL03 - Display/Change Items (New) ".
    First go to SPRO> Financial Accounting (New)> General Ledger Accounting (New)--> Master Data > G/L Accounts>Line Items --> Define Special Fields for Line Item Display
    Click on New Entries -
    Table - BSEG - Field - LIFNR
    Save. Now execute the report - FAGLL03 - Display/Change Items (New)
    Give the gl account number and execute.
    After getting the line items list from menu select --Settings --> Special Fields --> Click on New Entries --> Enter Table BSEG, Field Name LIFNR.
    After this come back and execute again. It will give you the vendor number.
    Thanks & Regards,

    The operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code 0).

  • Cannot copy (some) files to NAS

    Hi,
    I'm trying to copy some .potx-files (PowerPoint templates) to a NAS-server and get an error message (in danish) that says:
    +"Handlingen kan ikke udføres, fordi du ikke har tilladelse til at få adgang til nogle af emnerne."+
    Translated it sounds something like:
    +"The action can not be completed because you do not have permission to access some of the files."+
    - I can copy a .jpg-file to the same NAS-share without any problems.
    - This error occurs once in a while for some files...
    - I have read/write permission to the files and can copy/move them to any other location on the Mac.
    - I have tried different shares on the NAS and the same error occurs ... but only for these files. Not the jpg, or any other file.

    I have read other threads that indicate there is a Finder bug relating to NAS drives in 10.6.x
    Have you tried using a third party utility like Chronosync?
    Or,
    If you are comfortable using Terminal, try the cp command:

  • Why cant i empty my trash it says i don't have permission to access some of these items

    why cant i empty my trash it says i don't have permission to access some of these items

    Right click on the hard drive icon and select Get Info. (If there is no right click on your mouse, click once then type command + i - two keys together).
    This is the bottom part of the pane that comes up:
    1. Click on the padlock and authenticate with your password.
    2. Look at your name and make sure it says "Read & Write. If it does not, change it by clicking on whatever is there.
    3. Click on the gear, and select "apply to enclosed items".
    This will take some time. When it is done close this pane.

  • In Finder Prefs, does unchecking "Show these items on the Desktop" mean certain connected drives won't "mount" at all -- or they WILL mount but simply not appear as Desktop icons?

    In the Finder Preferences panel, when one unchecks a category of "items" (e.g. "Hard Disks," or "CDs, DVDs and iPods," etc.), does that mean that items of that type will not even "mount" as a connected external drive when they get plugged in to the computer? Or, alternately, DO these external devices "mount," and can be accessed via various menu commands or keyboard shortcuts, but it's just that they won't appear on the Desktop as a "Desktop icon"?
    The terminology used in the Prefs panels makes me think that they DO mount, they just don't "appear" as icons. Otherwise, the Prefs panel would say "Mount these items as connected drives when plugged in."
    Right?
    If one unchecks a category, and then connects or inserts a device of that category to the Mac, and then unceremoniously unplugs it from the computer, will one get an error message saying (forget the exact words) "Don't disconnect external drives before first Ejecting them!" Or...not?

    If iTunes is already running when I plug in the iPod, then I briefly get the "Connected - Eject before disconnecting" message, but then it goes away after a few seconds, and the iPod screen reverts to the normal home screen, which means I can unplug it without ejecting it.
    So the three potential statuses are:
    1. Plug in iPod and never launch iTunes = iPod need to be ejected before disconnecting.
    2. First plug in iPod and subsequently launch iTunes = get unwanted "connected" message until the moment that iTunes is running, at which point it disappears.
    3. First launch iTunes and then plug in iPod = iPod briefly gives "connected" message, but then reverts to home page.
    So, it seems that having iTunes open in these settings will (after a brief period at most, or immediately) allow me to unplug the iPod without "Ejecting" it first.
    However...I don't want to launch iTunes! The whole point is to just be able to plug in and unplug the iPod without having to fiddle with anything on the Mac. My original problem was that I had to "Eject" the iPod in order to unplug it -- but if the only way to solve that problem is to launch iTunes, then all I've done is replace one problem with another.
    I don't want to have to launch iTunes or have it running, now or ever. I just want to recharge my iPod.
    So, while we certainly have learned a lot so far (and thanks for your patience!), I don't want to end up with a different problem than the one I started with.
    So, the amended question is now:
    Is there a way I can simply plug in and unplug my iPod to my Mac for the purposes of recharging only, without having to either "Eject" the iPod from the Mac or having to launch iTunes (manually or automatically)?

  • Satellite P30 - DVD problems UJ-830s - You cannot copy or move the files

    Hi
    Just had to re-install everything using the Toshiba Recovery disk image.
    DVD drive did not work at all, giving always a drive not connected warning!
    Then after 2 days and reinstall of OLD drives it started to work.
    Now, I cannot move a file by copying/pasting and it does not even appears on the SEND to list!
    I can read no problem, I can write using Power to go, but I cannot write by simply moving a file to it! I will try InCD again and hope it works this time.
    Any idea? I checked the uptade files and firmware, but they are not for this drive, apparently the UJ-830 nearly does not exist online at all! Toshiba must have got rid of them with all their Satellite (not the Pro) P30 version.
    It is a Mat****a (Matsu****a - i.e. Panasonic!) UJ-830s
    Does anyone know were to find the Satellite P30 internal hardware manual, so I can do the proper upgrade myself! I am an Electronics Technician and like to do things properly.
    This DVD drive, I think is the only let down on this very nice Laptop.
    Thanks

    Hi
    You have suggested that you can read with no problems and writing works also by using the Power to go. I assume power to go is burning software.
    In this case I think the drive is ok.
    I think if you want to write the files on the CD by using the simply file moving you have to enable the Windows record function.
    Go to the drive properties (right click) and select the ?recording? tab.
    There you should check the options.

    If you are trying to use the Firefox 4 betas, they require at least OS X 10.5. There is a third-party version of Firefox 4 beta that works on OS X 10.4, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
