Just tried saving a textedit doc into icloud with the filename of "this
is a really long file name to see if I get an error" and there was no
error. So I don't think iCloud has any 31 character file limits. The 31
character limit that I know of goes back to the days of MacOS 7 and the
HFS format. That was replaced with HFS+ which removed the 31 character
file length limit in MacOS 8.x. I don't think you can even format a
drive in the original HFS format under OSX. Is the volume you are saving
to something special like an old external drive, thumb drive or network
share that might be under some ancient disk format?

Hi,
Try saving the document to the Desktop. When you do the cmd-s to
Save, press cmd-shift-d to set the save location to the Desktop. Try
a longer than 31 character title there. I’m wondering if TextEdit is
trying to save your document to iCloud,, and if that could cause this
sort of error message. Not sure, just a thought.
Later…

Hello Anne,
That is the strange issue: I'm trying to save to the hard drive the
way I've always done. And suddenly this message when trying to do it
in TextEdit. It threw me completely.
Maybe it will settle down. If you don't know what might have gone
wrong with your experience, I think it must be some kind of a crazy
gremlin. <smile>
Thanks for responding.
Andrew
