OS X Mavericks :: 10.9.3 - Filename Character Limit?

Jun 30, 2014

I just tried to save a file with a rather long name.  I got an error message that said I could not use filenames longer than 31 characters,  I seem to remember that before I got this computer (iMac 21.5"), I used to have longer filenames than 31 characters!  Is my memory faulty or is the operating system, "Mavericks" 10.9.3 deficient in this area, also?

OS X Technologies :: How To Reference To Filename With Forward Slash Character

May 30, 2012

I have this script line:
do shell script "lpadmin -p CIN-East-Copier -E -v lpd://192.168.51.78 -P '/Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/LANIER MP C5501/LD655C'"

The filename is "LANIER MP C5501/LD655C", the forward slash in the name is a character, not a folder structure.The script above works perfectly for drivers without the forward character. How to make it work? I tried replacing the forward slash with URL encoded character, changing the structure to colon delimited (i.e. Macintosh HD:Library:Printers....etc), none work.

Software :: Slow Open / Save File Dialog System Wide

Nov 5, 2005

When ever I try to open or save a file in any application the spinning wheel is shown and the dialog takes from 5 to 20 seconds to display. Once it is on screen the speed returns to normal. I have a G5 Power Mac 1.6 GHz (Single Processor) 2 GB RAM (crucial) 2 SATA hard-disks (original 80 GB used as a clone for the 160 GB - I use carbon copy cloner) Everything else is as standard with the Mac. This problem started with 10.3 and may have been at the same time as installing the second 160 GB hard-disk, cloning the original to the new one, then changing the SATA cables around to make the new hard-disk on bus A. I then upgraded to Tiger but the problem still persists. I have tried repairing permissions and have used support tools like cocktail etc to check for hard drive issues and clear the cache files.

Also, on installing the second hard-disk, I also tried swap cop to change the swap file to the backup hard-disk. This did not work so I manual modified the files to return them to the original state. I did this while the system was running 10.3. I take it on upgrading to 10.4, the swap file config would have been fixed anyway? Everything else on the system seems fine. If nothing specific is found I may try removing the old hard disk.

OS X :: External Drive - Setting Filename File Mix Up?

Feb 2, 2010

I have a 1Tb Iomega Minimax attached to my Mac mini that has started acting strangely.

It would appear that some of the file names have become linked to other files on the hard drive.

Example - I can double click on an mp3 file that used to be fine, but now a video file gets played that is stored elsewhere on the Minimax.

It only appears to be some of my files. I use this drive mainly for mp3 and AVI video storage so the mix ups are typically between these file types.

I ran disk utility but it says the drive is fine. Is there any other Mac software that can help me figure out what the problem is and maybe fix it?

I've never seen a hard drive do this before, and my Mac experience is pretty limited!

OS X Mavericks :: 10.7.2 Sometimes Places 31 Character Limit On File Names?

Sep 3, 2014

This error notice doesn't make sense, since many of my file names exceed 31 char. This error message pops up when saving documents, esp. web pages. As a consequence, OSX will refuse to let me save the file, until I shorten the name and so remove informative identifying features of the file name. But most of the time, OSX is perfectly happy to save files with names longer than 31 char. How can I get this error notice and block to turn off?

OS X :: Apple Character Is Missing In Character Viewer

Jan 29, 2010

I use the Apple character in Twitter to distinguish myself as an Apple computer user. When someone asked me how I got that in my profile I went through the steps and found that the character was missing from the keyboard and character viewer. Did Apple remove it in Snow leopard or did I do something to lose it? If I can get it back how do I do that?

Applications :: Unable To Open Keynote Presentation File - File Corrupted?

Oct 18, 2010

Today I tried opening my keynotes presentation file to make amendments to it and when I double clicked on it, the program loading bar only loaded up a third of the way and then hanged. I then tried to save it to a flash drive and use it on a different computer, but when I tried to copy it over to the flash drive it gave me this error: "the finder cannot complete the operation because some data in "garment styles" could not be read or written error code - 36".

I have tried changing the file extension to a zip, then unzipping it and then renaming it but that did not work.(It wouldn't let me unzip it). I have also looked at the index file name to see if that was the problem, but that is as it should be.

I have also tried uploading it to a website and emailing it and it will not let me.

Is there anyway I can recover this file as I have been working on it for over a month and it is due next week, or will I need to start again?

Software :: Unable To Open Encrypted File / Recovering The Original File?

Aug 23, 2009

ok trying not to get a panic attack here. I downloaded espionge to encrypt my valuable files and while it was encrypting (AES 128 bit i think) the program froze and I had to Force quit it. Now I try to open my file (that i was trying to encrypt) and it looks f*^&# up. I can't open it, and when I tried to unmount the partially encrypted file, espionage gave me errors that it couldnt recover the original file.

I had basically all my life's valuable accumulated data in that folder (it was 10 Gb+). I will praise anyone to the end of my days that can somehow tell me how to restore my file to its original state. Usefull info:

1) AM planning to pay gazillions for recovery software if need be, but free alternatives are always better.

2) I never secure delete if that helps

3) I still have the .sparseimage for the file created by espionage. (P.S. sparseimage's size looks really close to the orignal, also 10 Gb +).

4) Newest version of OSX, and have an IMac.

5) after incident I haven't done anything (no installations or downloads) apart from writing this.

6) the encrypted file was gonna be in HFS+ i think

Mac Mini :: Open .ods Zip File Which Save As .cpgz File Extension?

Apr 10, 2012

I try to open an Open Office spread sheet and it simply saves the file as another file with the .cpgz extension which does the same thing.  This did not happen a couple weeks ago; I think my download for Apple updates may be the culprit.  My OS X is now 10.7.3, I believe originally it was 10.7.2 but I could be wrong. 

The original document is a zip archive but now "saves as" a .cpgz archive.  I have tried the "Unarchiver", which I just downloaded, but it only creates another file with subfolders, none of which appear to have my original spread sheet.  (To be honest, I never noticed this Open Office spread sheet file was a zip file until a few minutes ago when I tried to unsuccessfully open it).

OS X :: FCP License Key Location / Filename?

Mar 6, 2006

Hi y'all: i just purchased FCP Studio 5 retail (ouch) and installed it, but not before i had a deal fall through with someone who had "sold" me their copy but then rescinded the deal. So, i have my own copy now, but i have THEIR license key registration - i need to enter mine, but throwing the apps away doesn't delete this info; it's stored somewhere else.

can anyone point me to the correct file for deletion, so that when i relaunch any of the studio apps, i will be prompted for (correct) license key information?

OS X :: Itunes Still Remember The Filename?

Apr 21, 2010

I imported some movies into itunes library. But the names of those movies are disordered and confused, so i try rename them to make the style clean.

Since there are a lot of them, i write some python code to do the work. I rename them directly from the source directory which is in iTunes/iTunes Music/Movies. But when I open itunes, the names are not changed. Then I try to use organize library option those names in the source file are changed back to old names.

After that, I move all those movies to other directory, and delete them in itunes. I try to rename those movies in that directory, and then import them to itunes. Surprisingly, when importing to itunes, they all changed to old names! I don't know why itunes still remember them.

Mac Mini :: Mac Hangs On File Open, Mac Hangs On File Open?

Apr 2, 2012

I am using Stata, a statistical analysis program.  Recently, when I try to open a file, using File Open, the program hangs and I have to force it to quit.  I can open files easily if I use Recent files.  When the file gets open, I can do everything I should be able to do with the program.  Analysis, graphics, etc.  It is JUST when I do File Open that it hangs, and it seems to be ONLY with Stata.

Applications :: Looking For Software Which Will Let Me Edit A Mkv Filename?

Aug 24, 2010

I have a .mkv file on my iMac and when I rename it, it works but it also doesn't work.

I rename it by clicking on the .mkv file and clicking Get Info, then I can enter in the new file name there.

But then when I did open the file in VLC Player, it shows the original file name which is something stupid like "dizo".

I'm looking for a program which will let me edit this file name properly (hope that made sense).

OS X :: Copy Filename And Date Created From Finder

Aug 14, 2010

I'd like to copy the filename and the date created (basically, whatever my Finder's List View shows, which is minimal) so that I can paste it into a plain text document. Is there an easy way to do this without a script? As it stands, when I copy and paste to the text document, I just get the filename with its extension.

OS X Mavericks :: Sort By Name In Finder When Numbers In Filename

Aug 26, 2014

If I have the following folders or files (the numbers in which represent dates):

"20120211 abcdef" and "2014 abcdef" then, if I sort the files by Name in Finder, they will be sorted like this:

"2014abcdef"

"20120211abcdef" 

so Finder seems to be treating the numeric characters as numeric values and sort the files by numeric value. 

How to change this behavior and tell Finder to treat numeric characters as alphabetical characters and sort the files/folders like:

"20120211abcdef"

"2014abcdef"

MacBook Pro (13-inch Early 2011), OS X Mavericks (10.9.1), 240 GB SSD/1 TB HDD/8 GB RAM

OS X :: Automatically Resize Finder Columns To The Longest Filename?

Aug 20, 2010

I've read the other posts about this issue, but have not found a thread addressing automatic resizing a Finder column width to the longest filename. Is there a trick to configure Finder to do this? So far it looks like only a manual double-click of the column handle will accomplish this.

OS X Mavericks :: Underscore In Filename Prevents Searching In Finder?

Dec 10, 2014

I've recently discovered that while searching in Finder I am not getting any results of files that have underscores in their file names. For example, a photographer sent over hundreds of files that are named "IMG_1234.jpg." When I search in that folder for any files named "34", I get no results, even though I can see the file is right there. Files with names like "AC-1234.jpg" are fine and come up in the results right away.  

What gives with the underscore? Is this a Mavericks thing? I've never had this issue before with Finder. Is there a setting I can change to include these file names in my search results?

Mac Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)
