• Error message: "the file names would be too long for the destination folder.

  I move the files from internal hard drive to external hard drive using cut and paste.  I get a message "the file name 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. "I then gives me choices to skip or cancel.  What happens to files that are ignored?  Are they deleted?  I don't want to lose all the data, but there are more 2 000 files with this problem, so passing by and rename each one really isn't a viable solution.  I don't really understand how the file names were originally created/saved about a problem that is only now that I want to move them.  The disc source and destination are NTFS.  Is there a solution for this?  It is imperative that no data is lost.  Thanks for any help you can offer.

  N ° to check that what I say is correct, create a new folder
  for the purposes of the trial and to make a copy of some files. To ensure that
  one of them has a long name (rename if necessary), and then try to copy
  These files on the external drive. When you get the message, choose

• Error: File name or extension too long after update of Windows 8

  I run 7 Captivate on Windows 8. Recently Win8 auto update features during the night. Since then, whenever I try to publish my files of course captivate, can I get an error saying it cannot publish because the file name or extension is too long. The update adds a new layer of files to sift through, so I thought that was the problem. I changed the default publish the location of my office, but I still get the same error. See attached screenshot.

  Any help on this one? I need to get these published and off to a customer as soon as possible.

  Thank you

  Arthur

  Note: after giving me this error and clicking ok to publish the course turns. The big question, then, is what this error tells me and why is it popping up? I can't afford to have a cause of difficulties internal course is not playing to my clients.

• Try to restore a lost Thunderbird profile, but can't "move profile" because the file names are too long

  I'm having a problem with Thunderbird that is addressed in several comments here and on "mozillaZine", but trying to follow the instructions for fixing it, I ran into a new problem that I see not addressed. The initial problem is that described in this thread, where my files and everything just disappeared, and I am invited to start to create a new profile:

  https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/questions/1040003

  Following the links in this thread, I get to this - and since my address book has also apparently gone, I click the internal link to the section titled 'Lost profile':

  http://KB.mozillazine.org/Recovering_a_profile_that_suddenly_disappeared

  Step 1 then sent me here:

  http://KB.mozillazine.org/Moving_your_profile_folder_-_Thunderbird

  Step 2 on this page says: "Copy the profile folder where you want to store." When I try to do it, however (using Windows Explorer on Windows 7), he gets to halfway through the copy and then hang up because it clashes with a file name that is too long to copy. And according to the prompt that tells me this, there are many more yet to come long file names.

  Ignore this error and I just ignore these files? That means the copy of profile won't be complete, which I think would be dangerous or would just cause other errors. Or is there some simpler way quite do what I originally planned to do, which is to recover the profile which has mysteriously disappeared?

  Again, I'm under Thunderbird on Windows 7 and it was used for years without ever encountering this extremely irritating glitch. I'll be grateful for any help.

  Here are three different approaches, I suggest:

  1 see https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/using-multiple-profiles and see if you can switch to that you want to use the Profile Manager.

  2. While TB is NOT running, use a prompt with the following commands: Note: place the entire path in quotation marks.

  • CD "the full path of your current profile directory name '.
  • xcopy "the full path of your"good"profile name" / s/h
  • now check with the Windows Explorer, and switch to him as above

  3 change "profiles.ini" (using a text editor such as Notepad) to point to the profile 'good '. "profiles.ini" looks like this:

  [General]
  StartWithLastProfile = 1

  [Profile0]
  Name = default
  IsRelative = 1 * change this to 0 *.
  Path = yt20rg5n.default * change this to the path and the name of your profile of "good."
  Default = 1

  Let me know how it turns out.

• 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?

• Try to copy the corrupted user profile profile settings and I am met with the error message "too long file name!

  I tried to connect to my laptop today and instead of recording in the usual way a message that windows creates new office settings. When he finally connects me I get a message of bubble speech saying I was connected to a temporary profile, I reboot several times and the problem persists. After a little google research, I realize my old profile is probably corrupted... I have not downloaded a new software/hardware.

  I followed the steps of miscrosoft to copy the files from my old profile to a new user, everything in the file transfer went well until the last few files to copy. Then, I get this error message saying "the file names would be too long for the destination folder", only two options are cancel and skip available. Which are useful.

  I do not recognize these folders that are too long (the names are the random letters and numbers), I tried to look for them, nothing is done. And to be honest, I don't understand what that means.

  UPDATE: I decided to copy folder a bit at a time and it solved my problem, that all the files were copied successfully. However, now I was struck with a new problem. Whenever I try to access my files, I get a message that says windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not be authorized appropriate. How can I fix it?

  
  

  It comes to my laptop and I administer it / have access to passwords, etc.
  

  It simply means that your old account was the owner of that file or folder.  You can change the security to access your new account.  Here are the instructions: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-PK/windows-vista/Troubleshoot-access-denied-when-opening-files-or-folders

  Thanks for your help Sidney.

  This problem is solved now.

  It was a problem with Sage Pay, where their system rejected "United Kingdom" as a name that is too long for the 2 letters of the country code in the payment page. The thing is that I had entered "GB" as the only option even when selected and commented on the rest of the list of countries. Later, after uncomment the list of countries and by replacing the "GB" United Kingdom option in this list, it worked.

  Most likely a situation embarrassing coding mistake on my part, although everything seemed OK.

  Panic at the wire. All happy, that it works again.

• Path and file name of the message is too long to be copied-how fix?

  On Windows 7, TB ver 24.6.0, I use a program called SecondCopy to copy my email when my C drive on my desktop to our file server.

  I get several messages each day like this one for the copy be saved on our network data sharing:

  I did some shorten folder names, but my names pale in comparison with the LOOOOONG TB gives them names.

  How can I fix?

  I did some shorten folder names, but my names pale in comparison with the LOOOOONG TB gives them names.

  This is because the wdseml files are just files created in order to allow windows to search to index your mail. I will not allow it and safe lots of disk space completely wasted on a feature that I don't use. Thunderbird has a search engine perfect condition. At least as good as windows search.
  Your mail is stored in highest MBOX files in the profile as well as a file of the same name with an extension of MSF that indexes the contents of the folder. One file and one index per mail folder. In the above example, it will be \\Oz\Data\System\Users\billr\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\5kxps6et.default\ImapMail\imap.googlemail - 4. com

  So I suggest backing up your profile under these space takers and seriously consider just disable windows search. Menu (Alt + T) tools > options > advanced > General in respect of the integration of systems.

  In addition we have all to live in the 256-character limit on the length of the path imposed by windows.

• 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...

• Identify too long to backup file names.

  Using Vista on my laptop and the complex file names are required because of the research that I do.

  When you run a regular backup to an external drive, I get an error message that some file names are too long for the files to copy, but no list of crime files is given.  I am informed to shorten them, but not how to identify them.
  Is there a quick way to find these files so that I can change the names?

  Hi John,.

  I just went to that link without problem using IE9 RC - but if you send you elsewhere to get the download, then maybe you'll have more success with the download page: http://www.parhelia-tools.com/products/pathscanner/Download.aspx.  It is the only near the top (or you can try the alternate).

  If specific filenames are not so long (assuming 260 is the number we need to worry and we are not quite sure of this), then it's probably the length of the path.  The path includes everything, like C:\Users\\Appdata\local\microsoft\temp\iooiee90939ntgngjoiga909ri4jt09049japgaopjgp\...\filename.doc and if this WHOLE thing is too long (260 or other), then it cannot copy or paste.  Chances are that these files were created by programs or automatically, not by you.

  My guess is that these are temporary files of IE (they tend to be very long) and if first delete you IE temporary files (Tools / Options / history / delete / don't check the Temp files and save them favorite boxes above, uncheck everything else for this test), then you find out that you don't really have the problem more.

  What is the external hard drive formatted in NTFS or FAT32 or FAT16?  If this isn't NTFS, I recommend that use the command convert to change to NTFS.  Not only is a better choice, but it can also solve this problem (although it's more a guess that based on specific research-, then it makes a difference with the size of the file and the file information, I saw say anything specifically made a difference in path length).  http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Convert-a-hard-disk-or-partition-to-NTFS-format.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

  There is no "My Documents" on Vista

  It's only 'Documents '.

  Windows Vista renames 'My Documents' as, simply, 'Documents '. "My music", "My pictures" and "My videos" have also lost their prefix and moved to directly under the directory (profile).
