For WiFi Direct file transfer, I am not sure whether this is what you want but we can consider disabling WiFi.
Regarding this point, the following thread can be referred to for more information.

Disable Bluetooth File Transfer - Windows 7

How do I disable Bluetooth file transfer for Windows 7? I am planning to see if it can be done via Group Policy (custom adm or GPP) or by creating a power shell script.
I read the existing questions here but its getting me nowhere. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/0a04b41b-05a8-4d7b-9ae0-212137cc4af7/restrict-bluetooth-file-transfer?forum=winserverGP

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
For Bluetooth devices, try this :

If it doesn't work, You may also try to use GPP Services to disable the Bluetooth Support Service (BthServ).

Leopard Upgrade and Loss of File Transfer to Windows PC

Loss of File Transfer to Windows PC - I successfully upgraded my MacBook to Leopard with the following exception where I was previously able to transfer files to a Windows PC. I can still connect to the PC but unable to see the folders in "finder" or move files over to it. I can still do this however from my other Mac (iMac) which is still on Tiger. What would the upgrade have done to prevent file transfer being done?
Thanks Neil

I had similar problems with browsing Windows shares... Initially I performed an Upgrade installation of Leopard. A temporary work-around was to use the IP address of the Windows computer.
For example (in the Connect To Server dialog) use:
smb://<IP address>/sharename
Obviously, you'll have to determine the local network IP for your Windows computer and know the name of the share. You can do this by opening up a CMD window and issuing the following command at the prompt:
ipconfig/all
Hope that wasn't too "technical".
Note: What fixed the whole problem for me was to perform a clean installation of Leopard... Now all the Windows computers on the network appear under Shared in the Finder sidebar.

iPhone contacts: file transfer to Windows 7 via USB-cable
My iPhone can communicate with the computer only via USB-cable (no mobile data, no bluetooth, no internet, no outlook). As I want to get the phone to the "doctor" I want to save specifically my contact data and calendar details on the computer (OS: Windows 7). How can I solve this task? I will appreciate your valuable information, thanks.

Using the iPhone, the USB cable, iTunes and Windows Contacts, sync the iPhone contacts to Windows Contacts. That will save them there. They are also included in the iPhone backup made in iTunes, and if you use iCloud.
I'm sorry, I missed the calendar part the first time I looked. For calendar, you need a supported application on the computer (Outlook) or if you use iCloud, you can use the iCloud contacts and calendar app to sync.

Files transfer to Windows PC

I have a power PC with system7 installed. I wonna transfer all data files to a windows PC. And I have some Aldus Page Maker files in there and I wonna convert them to the Adobe PM. How can I do this. I am a newbie for the MAC. Please help me. My email is ruwan.alahakoon (at) yahoo (dot) com

There are several ways to do this.
Some of the PowerPC Macs had built-in Ethernet when delivered. See also the technical specifications. An external AAUI to RJ-45 transceiver may or may not be needed, depending upon the Mac in question. If you wish to use Ethernet, please post back with additional information about the computer model.
All PowerPC models should have an operating system with PC Exchange (look for it in the Control Panels folder). This means that PC-formatted floppies can be used for transfers. However, the file size limit will be somewhere around 1.3 MB.
You could connect a MiniDIN-8 serial port (Modem Port) on the Mac to a DB-9 serial port of a PC by combining a Macintosh hardware handshake modem cable (MiniDIN-8M to DB-25M) with a standard PC null-modem cable (DB-25F to DB-9F). A terminal emulation program with file transfer capabilities (such as the communications section of ClarisWorks on the Mac and HyperTerminal on the PC) is used on each computer.
If both computers have a modem, transfers via terminal emulation software can be carried out over the public telephone network instead (two lines required, one for the Mac and one for the PC).
A variant would be a direct modem-to-modem connection (in principle as in KB article # 22229.
With a modem for the Mac, and Internet software (if not already on the hard disk, it is not difficult to install a couple of small programs), you could use e.g. email for transfers.
The transport of an unprotected Macintosh file to a PC will result in loss (or damage) of the resource fork (that is, one of the Mac file parts). The remaining data fork is, usually, sufficient for documents. Check the Save as dialogue on the sending Mac and compare this to the Open dialogue of the receiving PC. Try to find a "common denominator" file format.

File transfer from windows

I used the migration assistant to transfer fils from my Windows pc to my new MacBook Pro, but the transferred files only show up in a new user created by the assistant I supose and I cannot access them from my user account. Can anybody tell me how to transfer them to my user account or access them from my user account ?

youreally, really need to back up and learn baics about computers.
I'm not trying to be difficult, but to make your life easier. Tough love or whatever.
Every computer on the planet has a file system that uses the analogy of folders inside folders.
Start on your desktop, double click your hard drive. Double click on users. Then on your user folder (generally yourname or whatever you log in with) then on documents. You will see your document files (but not, for example, musci or videos - those are in music and videos, and not all the support files for mail, etc.
But the bottom line is you really must know where your stuff is, or, if you prefer not to, call a service to come and help you (at $XXX per visit).
My bigger concern is that you'll never find all those support files like mail settings, bookmarks, etc. that migration assistant should have brought over. I would tend to delete the user that was created, and start over, carefulyl following the instructions to get them to YOUR user folder.
All your stuff on a mac is in /users/you
on a PC its in /users (or is it user files?)/you (fancy that)
Explaining every step here is asking too much, really, for either of us.

RV220W wireless file transfer slow at 2MBps?

I have a RV220W operating in 2.4GHz N-only mode. Channel bandwidth is set to 20MHz, channel to 6 (a site survey shows that channel as completely clear), WPA2/AES. I am connected to a TrendNet wireless bridge. The admin page for that wireless bridge shows a link quality of 100% with a signal strength of 71%. If I select a higher channel (11), the signal strength drops to 51%.
I have a Windows 7 PC connected to the Trendnet bridge and a Windows 7 server connected to the RV220W, both via a 1Gbps LAN port. When I transfer a file from the server to the PC or vice versa, I get a lowsy 2MBps (~20Mbps) transfer rate. That seems awfully slow. I tried channel bonding from 20 to 40 MHz, but that did not help. What could I do to improve this??

Hello Awesterink,
Wireless is extremely subjective. To approach this, I would to break everything down starting at the basics.
Disconnect all wireless clients from the network
Remove the bridge from the network
Connect a single computer wireless to the RV220W
Connect from a close proximity of the router
Test the connection
Introduce more clients to the RV220W connection
Test the connection
Introduce the bridge to the connection
Test the connection
Test the connection through the bridge with 1 client
Test the connection through the bridge with more clients
Try to narrow down the break down as much as possible. For each change, test to see the result. Once you identify where things are bogging down, then we have a direction to go.

Files Transfer from Windows Server 2008 R2 on Mac

Hi,
How can I transfer files from "Windows Server 2008 R2" on Mac? as now I am using 2 App (Microsoft Remote Desktop & Fast Remote Desktop) which allowed me everything but not transfer files on Mac, so any other recommendation or salutation?
Thanks

Hi,
You need to configure folder redirection.
Folder redirection enables access local folders during the remote session. Click the + button at the bottom of the dialog and choose a folder you want to have
redirected.
Configure Folder Redirection:
1. Click the + button.
2. In the Add Local Folder window, enter the following information:
l
Name: Set a name for the folder to be available during the remote session.
l
Path: Select the path to the folder to be available during the remote session.
3. Click the close button to save the remote desktop.

IMac wont boot after file transfer from Windows laptop

Hi folks,
I am looking for some advice if anyone can help?
Sunday evening I transferred asome data off an old knackered Windows laptop via my home network. During the transfer, my 2013 iMac 27" started to really slow down and became unresponsive (i tried to cancel the data transfer and restart). In the end I have to force shut down by holding the power button in. Now, upon reboot of the machine, it won't get passed half way of the progress bar - and I've left it an hour at the most and given up.
I have attempted a verify and repair in Disk Utility, and even though I have managed to Verify Disk and Repair Disk, they took an absolute age to get through - I was chatting to an Apple Customer Care person, and they told me to chat back once it was done, which was probably 20-30mins after I started.
I then went on to Verify Disk Permission, which I left running for around 2 hours until it finished, and then moved onto Repair Disk Permissions, of which I cancelled after about 4 hours worth of it doing not a lot!
When I try and boot, it gets to a stage where the hdd is making a repetitive noise, as if it is stuck in a loop somehow.
I am running Yosemite 10.10.1, and have reset the PRAM to no avail.
I am fearing the worst tbh, but my main concern is the data on the drive - any tips on how to attempt to recover that data - or to fix the drive itself?
Thanks
Andy

The correct way to restart in Safe Mode is when you hear the "Bong" sound hold down and continue to hold down the Shift key until a progress bar appears. Here are Apple's instructions on how to correctly restart in Safe Mode.
I would recommend that you also look over Gray screen appears during startup.

Large file transfer for windows computer

i made an hd-movie which size is about 6 gb and would like to give copies to friends with windows computers. i have an external drive with a fat 32 partition, but it's not possible to copy the file on this drive, i think the limit is about 4 gb with fat 32 formatted disks. any idea how to manage this?
one of my employees has a mac with windows running on it, can he copy the file for me? the external drive has two partitions, one fat 32 an one os journaled, is windows running on a mac able to read an os journaled disc and copy the file on the fat 32 partition?

If you don't know, then look something up.
exFAT (Extended File Allocation Table, also sometimes referred to as FAT64) is a proprietary, patent-pending[2] file system suited especially for USB flash drives,[citation needed]
(EXtended File Allocation Table) An enhanced version of the FAT file system from Microsoft that uses less overhead than NTFS. It extends the maximum file size of 4GB in FAT32 to virtually unlimited.

As to NTFS being 'experimental' in which universe is that in? Mac NTFS drivers are sold by major companies for over 3 yrs and MacFUSE (a well respected developer of considerable talent and knowledge of operating systems I might add).

Wirelessly File Transfer to and from my N8 (anna)

Hello,
I want to move some files from my phone to a laptop. I do not have any cables. These files are large (200 mb).
The laptop can detect me has a hotspot. Anyway I can leverage that to transfer files?
I read about Dukto - but it requires a client side install - and I don't have admin rights....
No Bluetooth.
Suggestions?
Thanks,

Time Capsule wireless file transfer - terribly slow until...

I've got a really strange problem with Airport and Time Capsule. Wirelessly copying a file from my MacBook 10.5.2 to Time Capsule is terribly slow - until my screen goes to sleep!
80 MB is estimated to 45 min, and only 2-3 MB is copied in two minutes. When I or Energy Saver turn the display off, the same file is copied in 35 seconds!
I discovered this by accident, but it also explains why my first backup (12 GB) looked like it would take forever, but after both me and the display went to sleep, backup was done in two hours.
Anyone else having the same problem? Anyone having the solution?
Thanks! Joachim

Hi Joachim,
i think it is the same for me. But only when using timemachine not when doing normal file operations. Maybe timemachine is saving bandwith while the machine is not in screen saver mode...
Your machine should not go to sleep mode when a timemachine backup is running
What is your wireless connections speed?
You can see the rate when 'ALT + clicking' on the airport symbol in the menu bar.

Wireless file transfer cripple internet connection. Why?

Using 10.6.8 with all the latest updates.
Whenever I'm transferring lots of files, not necessary huge files with 802.11n AirPort base station to a network storage or another Mac, my internet connection is crippled to a crawl. Did all the repair and maintenance but the problem persist.
Never have this problem for years until the recent security update, I think.
Google like **** and can't seems to find a solution. Have another Mac with Lion install and with similar activities, no problem. Do not wish to update my working Mac to Lion yet.
Anyone any idea what could be problem and have a possible fix. I did reapply the 10.6.8 Combo Update and no fix.
Help? Thanks.
