Getting file name too long to save message

I've also experienced the problem when trying to save Thunderbird email attachments after upgrading to 10.9.

Possibly related to this Finder bug: I can no longer drag items from my Downloads stack in the Dock into another Finder window or even the Desktop. I can drag them to the Trash on the Dock, but nowhere else. This is incredibly annoying.

In general Finder seems to have become a hot mess in the Mavericks release. Better looking, but not someone you want to marry.

I just got two new Apple laptops: an Air (to use while my 6-month-old MacBook Pro was sick with blood-curdling slowness for two months) and a new MacBook Pro Retina to replace the sick one. While the Air doesn't have the 31 character problem, the MackBook Pro does: I cannot save a PDF from Chrome. If I try from Safari, it works. At least for now...

Right - that is exactly what happens. I switched to Safari which got around that immediate problem, but YAHOO email was hanging up continually, so I have switched back to Chrome... I have spoken to Apple about this one because it is really disruptive - they may be looking at it.

I ran diskutility to repair permission on my MBP and it fixed the problem.

I have two MBP (a year apart) with identical paths: one saves files file while the other intermittently has this problem. So: problem is not SSD-v-HD or application or file path.

During diskutil repairpermissions, the four thing that caught my eye was (the remaing two was printer.plist)

usr/lib/libruby.2.0.dylib

usr/lib/libruby.dylib

Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Resources/Safari.help/Contents/Resources/index. html

private/etc/aliases

Do not know if that's the culprit. Ran diskutil repairpermissions again: only the two libruby were not there in the fixed list. So, that' narrows it down. Maybe it depends on those apps who uses those ruby libaries?

not sure if that will help but just in case I've done check/repair permissions (diskutil repairPermissions disk1) as well and spotted this (apart from numerous cups/printer permissions issues)

User differs on "private/var/db/displaypolicyd"; should be 0; user is 244

Group differs on "private/var/db/displaypolicyd"; should be 0; group is 244

Repaired "private/var/db/displaypolicyd"

doesn't seem related though.

I am having the same problem with Apple Mail when saving messages as text. I've tried the suggestiions aboveto no avail. In this case the message has an rtfd extension. Suggestions?

Still "misbehaving" on my iMac 10.9.1. Weird.

I'm having the same challenge. It's hit or miss. Sometimes I get the error sometimes I don't.

This started after I updated pages the last time. Now using version 5.0.1.

I have the Same Problem It only hapens when I try to save any thing in MAIL. Any thing done or created in FINDER is OK. The problem only started when I upgraded to Mavericks !!!!!!

Ta in advance

Now it has all fixed itself DONT know why !!!!!!

Just upgraded with the Security Patch and the problem has come back !!!!! File names too long 31 charcters
