Transfering files from Windows machine freezes my wi-fi connection

Guys, this is very weird, and it started to happen a week ago.
I use finder to connect to my windows machine on my home network, and after typing my password, I get access to the folder in the windows machine that I want.
The problem is: any file I try to transfer FROM or TO the windows PC freezes up mac os X after some seconds of transfer ... like a 60 mb file, it freezes after 20mb have been transfered ... and that's not only it ...
It freezes mac os x until I get the message "Connection to server LOST", and I only can get back on the network if I literally shut down my wi-fi router, because my macbook simply can't get DNS ip assigned again, it always auto-assign some weird ip and doesn't come back to the network till I restart my wi-fi router.
What in the **** may be going on ? Remember, it started to happen lately, it was not like this before !

  • Transferring files from Windows, names of songs not correct in iTunes

    so I have my music on an external hard drive from my windows machines. The songs 'file names' (what you see on the HD) are correct. When I tried to bring some over to iTunes, via add to library, the info was added as 'Track 1" ect, with no artist or album info. In the itunes music folder, it was sorted as the artist folder (I copied and pasted from my HD)...
    I also tried to 'import' from itunes, and still the info was not correct.. when I tried the advance button to get cd info, itunes told me I couldn't do it because i didn't import with itunes, even though I did import from the external HD with itunes....what is going on? Does the 'get track listings' onlyl work if you are importing CDs?
    Also since itunes just looked at the files as 'track 1' etc, that means the MP3 file did not have the correct tags, so I have re-enter everything? That the files I was seeing was just the names I gave the MP3? Does this mean I have to go back and enter the correct info for all those mp3 that itunes read as "track 1" "track 2" etc?
    TIA

    It sounds like the artist and track names are part of the file name and your Windows player was grabbing that info from the track names. iTunes does not use file names to supply such information and instead uses standard internal tags to hold this information and when you imported the tracks into iTunes it supplied some default info. You will need to edit the tags using a tag editor, such as the one built into iTunes or an external one such as can be found on VersionTracker.
    Gracenote lookups can only be done on tracks and albums that were directly imported by iTunes from the original CD. Importing music files from any other source cannot be looked up.
    If you still have access to a Windows machine, you could try running the files through MusicBrainz using Magic MP3 Tagger. I have not had much luck identifying taggless or unknown songs using iEatBrainz for the Mac (these programs are available on MusicBrainz).
    There are some scripts in the Managing Track Info section of Doug's AppleScripts for iTunes that will copy filenames to track tags that can automate converting filenames to tags, but there are limitations on what can be done and you will still need to manually clean up the data and to add tags that cannot be added using such a script.

  • Help with transferring files from Windows to MacBook Pro

    Just got a new MacBook Pro and need to transfer files from a very old Windows operating machine. Have the Seagate Slim portable drive.  I downloaded the online software to format it for the windows files (taking 4 hours).  Now, I'm told it will not work on the Apple product.  Has anyone used this and had success? Or is there an easier way?

  • Transferring files from old computer freezes on Mac Pro

    Hi everyone-
    I'm new around here and I'm having a problem. I just bought the Mac Pro and right now I am trying to transfer my files from my older computer to this new one. My old computer is a Powerbook G4 Laptop, and I want some files to be on the Mac Pro. So I attached a firewire cable to the Powerbook G4 and to the Mac Pro, and I booted up the Powerbook G4 and held the 'T' button down like you are supposed to. The Powerbook then shows up in the finder window on the Mac Pro, but then all of a sudden the Mac Pro freezes. Even when it didn't freeze, I clicked on the Powerbook G4 Hard Drive icon in the finder window, and some of the drive's contents load but then I just get the spinning colored pinwheel. And nothing happens! Why is this happening, can someone help me out? I tried it earlier and it worked, but now it is repeatedly not working. Thanks!

    If you have both computer connected to the same internet connection there's nothing to do cable-wise. All you need to do is…
    1) Go to the Sharing System Preference and turn in Personal File Sharing on one of the system, preferably the PowerBook
    2) Go to the other system and select the Network menu item from the Go menu (in the Finder)
    3) You should now find your other system here and double click on it
    4) You should now be asked to log in, just use the log in details you would use to start the other system
    5) Now you will be asked which "volume" you want to connect to (select the one that is names you login if you only want to copy documents)
    6) You will now have access to the other computer with a disk mount on yur Desktop

  • Why, when transferring files from windows to OX OS, I can't view jpegs

    I just recently purchased a new IMac Air and I am trying to transfer files from my old PC to my Mac Air. Whe loading jpegs, I get an error meesage when opening them up. The error message indicates that jpegs are a file that preview does not recognize. I transferred the files using a USB memory stick.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks for any help.

    OK, thanks for that, but im sill unable to read the windows eudora files in eudora for OS X.
    First ive used BBedit and textwrangler to open the windows eudora .mbx files. Then ive saved them without the .mbx line and moved them into the Eudora folder --> Mail Folder. What happend here is that when running Eudora the the single mail files in that individual mailbox file become one huge file, with all the text flowing on from one to the other in the same file.
    Next, i tried FTPing between windows and OS X. I did this, making sure i was uploading from the pc in ASCII. Pulling them down into the mac, removing the .mbx and transferring to the Mail Folder of the Eudora Folder and then opening eduora, these files are not recognised at all.
    Any further help will be most appreciated!

  • Transferring files from Windows PC to MacBook Pro

    I've been trying to transfer files from my Windows PC to my MacBook Pro using the Migration Assistant. Both the computers are on the same Wi-Fi network. The MacBook however is unable to identify the WIndows PC and I am unable to progress further. What am I doing wrong?

    Does this help?

  • Transferring files from windows media player

    how do i transfer all my library from windows media player and napster into itunes? when i first hooked up my ipod to my computer it prompted me to convert my whole library but now i can't figure out how to do it again.
    thanks

    how do i transfer all my library from windows media player and napster into itunes?
    For songs you ripped yourself from CD, you simply find the WMA files and drag them into the iTunes library. It'll convert them.
    For songs you purchased on Napster and such, you can't. Napster and Wal-Mart and all those stores that sell WMA files are incompatible with iTunes and the iPod. Don't buy from those services in the future.

  • Problems "transferring" files from time machine to new hard drive

    I was experieincing the spinning beach ball of death so I replaced my hard drive with a new one.  I am running mountain lion (10.8.2) and the new Hard drive has two partions - one for "start up" which I was able to use migration assisant to move over my applications from my time machine.  The problem I am having is that I can't figure out how to get my user account data transferred to my the data partition (journal extended) on my new hard drive.
    When I enter time machine I can't "see" my last back updates before I changed hard drives. 
    I put my old hard drive in a case and it "isn't working" so I can't just copy data from my old hard drive.  It did work initially but now it doesn't mount and I can't see it in disk utility.
    Any Ideas on how I can get my user data off my time machine back up?
    I forgot to mention that when I go into my external hard drive containing my time machine via finder and click on the folder with my user data I'm not able to open the various files - they have a red "-" and it says, The folder “Desktop” can’t be opened because you don’t have permission to see its contents.  In disk utility I can't run repair disk permision on my time machine drive because it is grayed out.
    Thanks - Dave

    I see. Don't do that. I do not believe using Migration Assistant is a valid method of accomplishing what you intend.
    Furthermore, unless you are using the "Enter Time Machine" feature, you really shouldn't pick and choose what you want to copy from a Time Machine backup... "no user serviceable parts inside". You can certainly find and individual files and folders in the Finder, but you will run into the permissions problems you describle. I would not attempt to circumvent those protections.
    As I understand Time Machine, you must either restore a volume from a Time Machine backup, thereby erasing the volume first, or restore individual files and folders by using "Enter Time Machine" when the backup has already been properly designated for the source.
    Since your replacement hard disk - the source, now - is technically new, the latter is not an option. It's as if you were trying to restore to a different computer. This can't be done.

  • Transfering files from Windows Dreamweaver CS5.5 to build apps on MAC

    I am considering upgrading to CS5.5 to take advantage of Dreamweaver's new Phonegap features.
    I am a Windows user.
    I know I can't build iOS APPS on Windows but can I move th files I have built to a MAC with a development envvironment and build the APP there ?
    Thanks
    Phil Stern

    Depends on what you're wanting to build. HTML5 webpages are cross-browser/ cross-device compatible and will work across iOS, Android & BlackBerry (modify with WebWorks) models.
    In this case, a HTML editor is recommended. If you do not have DW on the Mac, you could copy the projects folder from localhost ROOT and open it with any HTML editor.
    I think you're confusing yourself with the iOS build here. There is no such thing as a 'native' Mac environment to build iOS webpages. Webpages made with any HTML editor will open on iOS.
    If you're talking about building iOS Apps, you need to download XCode and other related iOS SDK's to start. This link should give you an insight: https://developer.apple.com/devcenter/ios/index.action

  • Locating transferred data from windows machine

    Bizarre question....probably. Set up Migration Assistant to run overnight, and got a completion message on returning to the Mac. However, I can't locate the data - all boxes were ticked for all data in the original set up phase. For example, where can I find the (ex) Word docs that came over ? iTunes data appears to have made it OK. Prepared for a facepalm moment. Don't be shy if it's justified.

    To merge users, you will have to transfer the files of one user manually to the other one.
    To do it, I recommend to use an external disk or the Shared folder on your Mac. To go to Shared folder, open Finder, select Go menu > Go to Folder, and type /Users/Shared. In this folder, copy your files of the first user (you have to log in your first user), so you can copy them to the second user after logging in this user.
    After migrating the files, open System Preferences > Users & Groups, select the first user and press - button to delete it

  • Script for transfer the file from windows to UNIX machine

    Hi expert
    1. I neeed one script that will transfer the files from windows machine to UNIX machine.
    2. And the data updated in Windows file should also be update in UNIX file.
    3. Please send me the steps how can i schedule this script.
    Thanks in advance
    Regards
    Frnd

    It depends on what you need.
    It's possible to use:
    -winscp
    But that means using a program to drag and drop files. This is most commonly used.
    -setup samba on the unix system (the samba package/software needs to available for your unix)
    This requires some setup on the unix system, and your windows system (connect the unix system and put a share defined on the unix system to a driveletter on your windows system), but lets you easily make a batchfile which copies data from one windows drive to another. A batchfile can be scheduled using 'at'.

  • I transferred big files from windows to my macbook, should I install anti-virus on macbook pro?

    I transferred big files from windows to my macbook because I wanted to retire my old PC, should I install anti-virus on macbook pro because of those files I moved? Would you recommend? Or should I feel comfortable since I'm using OS X Mavericks? Anybody with the same case? Thanks.

    Files moved from a Windows machine may contain malware, but that malware would not be a threat to your Mac. Windows malware cannot infect a Mac.

  • Can't copy some files from Windows 7 to Mac OSX over network

    Hi,
    I'm running the latest version of Max OSX v10.8.4 on a brand new Macbook Pro.
    I have followed the setup instructions at http://www.7tutorials.com/how-change-workgroup-mac-os-x-easy-networking to access my Macbook from Windows, and http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/24950/how-to-share-a-folder-in-os-x-with-windows/ to share some folders from my Macbook to Windows.
    I am now trying to copy some files from my Windows 7 Pro (SP1) computer to my Mac, and have hit the following problems:
    I can view my Macbook in my list of local networked computers on WIndows, but I cannot access it. Clicking on it causes Windows 7 to try and access it, but then I get a message after a minute saying the network path could not be found. However, if I manually enter the IP address of my Macbook in the Windows address bar (\\192.168.0.191), I can view and access all the shared folders. I can never access the Macbook via it's computer name (\\MACBOOK-ROB).
    I cannot copy some files from Windows to my Macbook shared folders via Windows. There is nothing to distinguish these files from the hundereds of other files that I have successfully copied to my Macbook. They are pictures and music with no special characters in the filenames, not overly long filenames or folder paths, no access restrictions, or any other security restriction that I can see. However, every single attempt to copy these files to my Macbook results in WIndows reporting that access to the destination was denied.
    I have tried both these above scenarios on WiFi and Ethernet, and the results are the same.
    So:
    Why am I unable to access my Macbook by it's computer name on the network? How can Windows see it, but not access it?
    What are the limitations on transferring files over SMB that is (presumably) causing these specific files to fail?
    Thanks for any help you can offer.

    I have a fix for inability to copy files. I had the same problem moving a lot of old files across my LAN from a Windows XP machine to a Mac Mini running Mountain Lion. After confirming copy of some special file, I would get an error that terminated the copy operation, and info on the Mac side would show a locked folder.
    I finally decided to eliminate all special files on the Windows side, before copying, by running
         attrib -s -h -r /s /d [drive or folder]\*.*
    in a command window. Running attrib /?  tells what the arguments mean, but it doesn't explain that you need the *.* to make the command go through the hierarchy clearing the special attributes on all the files.
    After I did that, and then used drag and drop between two Windows Explorer windows (one on the Windows drive, on on the target drive on the Mac), the whole move operation ran to completion without stopping either for error or to ask for confirmation.
    I do not have a fix for the inability to access some computers by name rather than by IP address. I'm looking into the possibility of activating bind on the Mac but I haven't done anything yet.
