File name too Long to be copied to the same location on Different drive

I have Vista 32 bit. I know the limits of length of file name.

In my computer, I have a USB 2.0 hard drive, called 'J '. I have a Freecom 3 TB hard which the manual says is shown as 2 partitions for compatibility issues. It appears therefore as a partition 'K' and 'L '.

I have a lot of music on my drive J, located in several subfolders. Number of files have reached the limit on the length of file name. TeraCopy using I'm just copy everything in the root of the drive of J in the root of my partition to 'L '.

Out of thousands of files, 445 of them were not copied. I don't know the reason, but I guess that this is due to the limits of length of filename which is strange, because if the files are already on the J drive why can't they be copied to the partition of L? It's not like I'm adding a new folder in the partition of L, then put everything in there, I put everything in the root.

TeraCopy is a button that allows you to see why the files were not copied. However it freezes if clicked, because there are so many files - it works when much less files are copied. I guess they were not copied because of file size limits.

  • "File Name Too Long" when copying files on USB using Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit)

    When I copy about 60 GB of library files in a backup folder on a USB key, at the end of the copy, it is a dialog box indicating "file name too Long for the Destination Folder.  It shows that there are 62 records like that, and I can choose to ignore these files.

    1. I had formatted the USB stick to NTFS - which does not allow large file names?

    2. How can I see which files have this problem so I can shorten the file names?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    What is the capacity of the USB?

    Were you able to copy before?

    Try to format the drive once and then try and check if it is beneficial because it can also happen when there are viruses.

    You can also check the drive for errors.

  • Error: The file has properties that cannot be copied to the new location

    Hi, I have a problem when copying the files in my windows 7 PC to my Sansa clip 4 GB of sport.

    This error appears when I transfer them to any folder on my sport Clip:

    Are you sure you want to copy this file without its properties?
    The file has properties that cannot be copied to the new location.

    I can click Yes or not (when I click Yes, the file is copied to the new location)

    The reason why I ask is the following:
    The file will be somewhat different after being copied on my sport Clip?
    This is a file audio subliminal message to help me overcome some mental problems, so it would be bad if the file is modified after copying...

    The file plays perfectly and sound quality seems very good.
    However, I still need to know if the file is modified in a way?

    The device is correctly detected, but in the manual it says that when you go into my computer and click on the Sansa Clip Sports, you must click on a folder in the internal memory and then you will find a folder of music.

    But it is not at all a folder in the internal memory...

    When I click on Sansa Clip sport, I see these folders:
    Sound, music, audio books, Podcasts, playlists.
    AUDBOOK. LIB, AUDIBLE. LIB, M3U. LIB, MUSIC. LIB, PODCAST. LIB, version.sdk

    Thank you in advance, I really hope that someone will answer you

    The file properties check the metadata associated with the file.  This error occurs generally when the file was created on an NTFS volume and some of the assosiated with this file metadata is not supported on a FAT32 volume. What you mean actually is not associated with file properties, so it would not be changed.

  • File name too long in Microsoft Excel 2008?

    I have Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac and I'm a big user of Excel.  Often, I receive an error message indicating that the file path that I specify when you create a new file is too long.  I am convinced that earlier versions of Mac OS x did not produce this error, or at least worked better.  I'm 10.11.4, OSX but I suffered with this problem for some time.  I read other reviews, stating that there may be a limit of 259 characters for the file name and path.

    My question: can someone tell me if this path length limitation has been removed or the less liberalised in the latest version of Excel?  Should an upgrade just to get rid of this nasty problem.

    Thank you...

  • Cannot delete files - file name too Long

    I copied all the files under C:\Users\ to a backup disk (NTFS).  Then I tried to delete the Temporary Internet Files folder.  I'll tell an error message:

    The file names would be too long for the destination folder.  You can shorten the file name and try again, or try a location with a shorter path.

    When I drilled far problem files were I saw a bunch of files with very long names.  I right click on one (in the hope to rename it) and the only available options are: open, pine in the Start Menu, send to.  Delete, rename and properties were missing.

    How can I get rid of these files without having to reformat the hard drive?

  • Why are some of my file names have black fonts and some in the same folder have blue fonts?

    In the same folder, some of my file names appear suddenly in blue font and others in black letters. What is the meaning of the different colored fonts?

    Open Windows Explorer.  Click Tools > folders and select the view tab.  Scroll down to "Display encrypted or compressed NTFS files in color" selected?  Change the display of the Explorer WIndows if you change this option?  Generally, the encrypted files are shown in green and compressed files (i.e. zip files) are indicated in blue, while the normal files are represented in black.  They can also be colored differently if they are on a different partition or files have been created while the computer is connected to a different domain.

    As Chetna asked, you export original?  Yes, you are. It is asking to export a copy of your original file, that is, of course, not changed. So, Yes, you won't see any of your changes. That's why you can not apply a watermark. Adding a watermark in the image he'd a file not original.

  • Lightroom 4 - Import Error Message "no files can be copied to the backup location.

    Hi people! I hope that someone can help you.  All of a sudden, I get an error message odd when I import into lightroom 4.  "File could not be copied to the backup location.  I can click OK and continue to work as usual. I see my pictures, everything seems ok. When I export, backup works fine without error message.  I get nervous on error messages in LR.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you!

    You have the option checked to create a backup copy of the images imported in the import dialog window? If you verify that your username has write permissions to the folded selected as a backup location.

    Or just uncheck that option and test.

  • Custom name - original file name works do not export, Lightroom creates the sequence jpeg instead of the original file number

    When you export from Lightroom with "custom name - original file name" selected, Lightroom replaces the original file with a useless jpeg sequence number. Export must have the custom, followed by the number of original file name.

    There is no option for Custom name + nameof the file.

    I would, with all due respect-

    If you "change" in the file name changes dialog box, you can set the change of name {Custom + file name}

    or Custom + Original file name!

  • File is already open on another copy of the Muse + hours missing

    I open a file, I had worked on that in muse a few days ago and I get a strange message on "file is already open on another copy of the Muse. After this error in levant and learning that I can copy the file to a new location, I was able to open the file. He then told me that there have been changes on the site online (which was false). It turns out that the file Muse lost hours of my work, but saw the changes I made on the live site and thought they were updated in the browser. Now, I'm sure I had saved the work at regular intervals, I'm pedantic enough stuff to 99%, I remember having a failure of the system at the time, but I was under the work of backup automatically Muse impression anyway? Surely a system crash should not corrupt a file like this to the point that he didn't even remember saves work? Any advice greatly appreciated.

    Please send us the .muse file and the file 'MuseLog.txt' to the 'Documents' folder so that we can investigate. Also check your hard drive to confirm that a newer version of the file has not been saved in a different folder. Thank you.
