I get message when copying my itune songs or apps over to external drive,
" you cannot copy item "Icon
"becasue the name is too long or includes characters that the disk cannot display.

I did search for icon, does not help, and this comes up in copying different folders!

Now just a newer one:
You cannot copy some of these items becasue their names are too long or contain invalid characters.

How do I find the ones I need to change names of?
