Transferring from iMac

Just returned from the store with my new nano. BUT when I tried to transfer my files the nano froze after about 6 to 8 files and been transferred, and I could not reset anything except by pulling the plug.
I even tried doing one track at a time and it still froze after I transferred about 6 tracks.
I have repeated this over and over with same effec it's going to take along time to transfer 1000 tracks at this rate.
Where is the problem - I have updated all the software.

I don't know what is causing your problem. Have you tried resetting the nano? Or restoring it with the iPod Updater?

  • File transfers from iMac to Windows Share on another computer. Very slow!

    Hopefully someone has some ideas on how best to troubleshoot this.
    I have an iMac and a Windows 2003 File Server.
    The iMac sits on a gigabit switch with another computer, an XP machine and the 2003 File Server sits on another gigabit switch.
    The problem I'm having is that transfers from the iMac to the 2003 File Server are very slow whereas from the XP machine on the same switch they are fast.
    Any ideas on how to test this or how I might fix the problem?
    The Network interface itself is set to:
    1000baseT
    full-duplex
    MTU: standard (1500)
    I've tried it with both full-duplex and full-duplex (flow control).
    The directory I'm transfering is a 7.56gb directory and it's taking over an hour to transfer.
    Thanks

    This doesn't quite work at all. I can understand for OSX to be serving the files the need too change /etc/smb.conf, however, my OSX machine doesn't serve any files, thus the smb service is offline. I have tried adding that tag to my fileserver using samba (its a linux nas box) and it still is slow as ****. I know it works with tiger because one of my sisters is using a macbook on tiger and is able to connect wirelesssly to it and download files as fast as my MBP downloads through ethernet (mine is leopard). My other sister has the exact same configuratino of macbook, however hers is leopard like mine and it moves crazy slow. I know this is the reason why apple pedaled back about network drive time machine because they realized the broke something so I'm giving them the beneffit of the dooubt. If 10.5.2 rolls around and I don't see improvement I think i'll just go back to tiger...

  • Can I pick what is transferred from iMac to new MBP ?? (iMac larger HD)

    Hi everyone
    My new 17" MBP 2.33/2GB/7200rpm100gb laptop shipped today (after a weeks delay) and should arrive Thurs 16th in CT.
    I also own iMac G5 2.1 Ghz, 20", an eMac 1Ghz G4, and now, finally deceased PowerBook G3 500 Pismo (2000), 1GB RAM; 60gb 7200rpm.
    When I got my iMac (which I use at work & home) I transfered via firewire everything from my PB G3 500, the setup program on iMac just transferred everything and only gave me the option to transfer or not.
    But my iMac disk, 250GB, is 4 gb short of being full from music and work files). Can I pick and choose which files or programs are transferred to new 100gb drive ?? I don't want all the programs and files sent.
    I really only want Mail/Address Book/Calender files, accounts and contacts, plus Safari's bookmarks.
    I don't want all keychains, extra programs and all music files sent.
    Help

    Migration Assistant won't provide file level transfers. It's also not a good way to transfer data between PPC and Intel Macs. Your best option is to simply copy the files from one computer to the other. You can connect the computers via network and transfer using file sharing or you can connect them via Firewire cable and use Target Disk Mode.
    You will find the Mail and Safari data in /Home/Library/Mail/ and /Home/Library/Safari/ folders, respectively. Address Book and iCal data are found in /Home/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/ folder and /Home/Library/Application Support/iCal/ folder, respectively. Be sure to also copy the preference files from the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder for Mail, Safari, Address Book, and iCal. They will start with "com.apple." and end with ".plist".
    Because your older Macs are PPC machines avoid transferring anything other than your data files. Intel and PPC software are not compatible.

  • Failing transfers from iMac to iPod

    I've won a free 30GB Video iPod and last night I set aout transferring my iTues Library to the new iPod. I had no idea how long such a step would take so i decided to do it overnight.
    Just before going to bed I noted that it was transferring a Queen track. 12 hours later it was still tansferring the same track - it had obviously stuck.
    Ejecting the iPod didn't, so the only way I could stop the session was to unplug the USM lead - not recommended practice I guess.
    I started again and it stuck at the same place so i deleted that track from iTunes and started yet again.
    This time it stuck on another track so I had to repeat all the "pull out the USB lead, delete offending track and start again" routine.
    This has now happend five times and I'm still nowhere near copying the whole iTunes library - and the offending tracks play fine on the iMac.
    So:
    1 Why is it happening?
    2 How can I stop it happening again when the "offending" tracks are put back into my iTunes?
    3 How can I ever "automatically" synchronise if everytime I plug in the iPod it is going to stick?
    I am an iPod rookie (and, for that matter an iTues very basic user) so any advice would me very much appreciated.
    Cheers.

    Thanks, Jeff. I've followed your tip and some loaded correctly after I'd reimported them from the original CDS and a couple didn't. Those latter have now been binned permanently.
    But I have another problem: I am now importing my iPhotos onto the iPod and it has again "stuck". The problem is that, unlike iTunes imports, iPhoto seems to give no indication as to which specific snap is causing the problem. How can I identify and remove the offending picture?
    If I just pull the USB plug on the iPod (the only way I've found of freeing a stuck transfer session), will all those prior to the sticker remain on the iPod so that I can just count to the offender, or will it lose some of them and leave me none the wiser?
    Cheers.

  • Unable to tag songs transferred from iMac to iMac

    Hi all, I converted my Mac-hating roommate to the Light Side, and she just got a 20" Core 2 Duo iMac. The problem we're running into is she copied a bunch of her files over from my 20" Core Duo (we rebooted my iMac into Target Disk Mode), and she's unable to re-name or tag some of the music we copied over in her iTunes. Get info in the Finder on the files in question says that Read & Write permission is given, and none of them were iTunes purchases either. Is there something we're missing?

    Make sure they are not Read Only.

  • Transferring from imac to ibook

    Hi...my first computer was a blue iMac, originally released in 98 with a tray-loading cd....i have lots of pictures and files on there that i would like to transfer to my ibook G4 laptop before I pass the iMac onto a young friend for her first computer....how do I do that? The OS for the iMac has been upgraded to 9, I think...I haven't used it in awhile...I just remember that up/downloading pictures via email takes 25 min or more...do the two computers connect via ethernet cord? I basically want to save everything to the laptop and clean up the iMac for giving it away. Suggestions?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    If it is Mac OS 9, it is as simple as my instructions here, if the iBook has Mac OS X:

  • Transfered photos from IMac with Iphoto 9 to a mac book with Iphoto 11 now Iphoto 09 errors out saying "You can't open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto."

    Transfered photos from IMac with Iphoto 9 to a mac book with Iphoto 11 now Iphoto 09 errors out saying "You can’t open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto.You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto."  We have not updated or changed anything on the IMac all we did is transfer photos. Any help would be appreciated.

    LarryHN is correct. The only way this message occurs is if the iPhoto Library database is upgraded to a newer version.
    You could try holding SHIFT-OPT-COMMAND when launching iPhoto from the dock and checking only "Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" and hope it restores the previous database prior to the upgrade.
    If that doesn't work, you can install iPhoto '11 on your iPhoto '09 computer. If I understood the iPhoto '11 Mac App License agreeement correctly, you can install it on any personal, non-commerical computer you own running 10.5, 10.6 and 10.7.

    Hi
    Thanks this has helped me solve the problem.
    I used the Outlook Anywhere connectivity tester you suggested. Selected Outlook autodiscover.
    It told me that it could not resolve things on any of the 4 tests.
    I saw that using the last test "Attempting to contact the Autodiscover service using the DNS SRV redirect method", was the only one likely to work in my case.
    I had already changed 3 entries in dns to point at my DDNS address but this had not worked, from the errors I could see that it was just the certificate name not matching so I changed the DNS entries for Autodiscover, autoconfig and _autodiscover._tcp
    to be webmail.domain.com which is a CNAME to my ddns address for the broadband router, which in turn forwards ports 80 and 443 to the exchange server for owa and activesync access. I got an error message saying that I had an illegal entry in my SRV record
    as a CNAME is not allowed, but it saved the change anyway.
    I reran the test and it worked.I can now make new outlook clients attach teo exchange.
    Thank you, after 8 hours yesterday of trying to reolve this I suddnely got it to work on one laptop but the other still would not and had lost track of what I could have changed so had no idea what actually made it work.
    Thank you for your suggestion.

  • Transfering a few files from iMac to MacBook Air with Thunderbolt.  Which do I put in Target Disk Mode?

    Transferring a few files from iMac to MacBook Air with Thunderbolt. Which do I turn on first in Target Disk Mode?  The one receiving the files or the one that has the files?

    I would put the destination computer into TDM

  • I have an excel spreadsheet that needs to be transferred from a PC computer to my imac.  I downloaded the numbers program, but when I transferred the spreadsheet using numbers, it didn't appear the same.  Do I need to buy the mac office software?

    I have an excel spreadsheet that needs to be transferred from a PC to my imac.  I downloaded the numbers app, but the spreadsheet isn't appearing like the original in the numbers program.  Drop boxes aren't working the same and things are moved around.  Will I need to now purchase the mac office software or will I still have the same problem?

    More compatible are OpenOffice or NeoOffice.  Also if you are using a PowerPC Mac you may not be able to use the most recent Office anyway.    Make sure the version of Office you get is compatible with your Mac.  PPC indicates PowerPC, which was only found on Macs early 2006 and older.  Go to Apple menu -> About This Mac to determine which CPU is on your Mac.  If it says G3, G4, or G5 it is PowerPC.  If it says Intel Core you can upgrade to Snow Leopard minimum and possibly the latest Office, if it says Intel Core2Duo (with the 2 in the middle)  or Core i with some number you may be able to upgrade to Lion, but certainly no trouble wiht the latest Office.

  • I am transferring from a desktop iMac to a MacBook Pro.

    I am transferring from a desktop iMac to a MacBook Pro.  We transferred all the data from the desktop to a second log in, and now I want to move all of my email accounts from the second log in to the first log in.  I went into the Apple store to get help, but that was hours ago, and it's still working on it.  Is it possible it will take hours to transfer 60,000 emails?  It appears to be downloading them from the server multiple times, because I have deleted some and they pop back up again and I have have marked them all read, and now a LOT of them are marked unread.  I use a gmail account.  Can you shed some light here, or do i have to go back to the Genius Bar?

    We transferred all the data from the desktop to a second log in, and now I want to move all of my email accounts from the second log in to the first log in.
    Can you explain this further. To another user account on your iMac? Or to your new Macbook?
    Is it possible it will take hours to transfer 60,000 emails? 
    Yes. If you open the activity monitor in mail you can see this process occuring. "Updating cache directory, indexing, etc.).
    From the menu bar Window > Activity
    "It appears to be downloading them from the server multiple times, because I have deleted some and they pop back up again and I have have marked them all read, and now a LOT of them are marked unread.  I use a gmail account."
    Is the problem of unreads showing back up when you mark as unread on one computer and check the other, or is it on your new macbook pro.
    Please include your configuration in  Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Gmail > Mailbox behaviors in your reply.

  • O I need Pages on my iMac in order to open a file that has been transferred from my iPad?

    Cannot open the Pages file on my computer that has been transferred from my iPad. Do I need to purchase Pages for my computer?

    I guess you could open it using the icloud version of Pages (on www.icloud.com).
