9 minutes to copy over 436 megs?!!! Is that normal?

Seems my optical drive is running slower and slower....9 minutes to copy over a disk that contains about a dozen PDFs.......that just doesn't seem right. The drive is a MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-868, Firmware Revision: KB19. Everything else is also up to date. Any ideas? Anyone know what the 'standard' transfer rate for this drive is?
Thanks.

Is it a burned disc? Don't know if others have ever run in to this, but there are a couple brands of media that my MBP optical drive just does not like, regardless of how or where they were burned. I have the Matshita UJ-867. Does other media seem to be to slow as well, or just this disc?

  • "Less than a minute remaining" for over a few hours with Migration Assistant

    Hi everyone,
    I am migrating to a MBP Retina running latest 10.7. I am using migration assistant to import a user from my new Time Capsule.   It's stuck on "Less than a minute remaining" for over a few hours that I noticed it.  What should I do?
    (Yes, I am on Wireless N and I do not own a ethernet adapter)
    Any help,suggestion, wait/not wait?
    Thanks,
    Chester

    my recommendation stems mostly from what others have replied to similar posts. I personally think it is probably done, and a hard shut down and restart will probably work. but also see this good reply from WZZZ

  • Is it possible to copy over track settings to a whole new song in Garageband?

    Hi there
    There maybe a work around for this if its not possible but here goes.........
    I have multiple tracks (vocals, live played guitars, live played bass) that I have layered to be played back over the top of an already existing mp3.
    I very clumsily did not set the beat to the right tempo to start with (Current  BPM 120, but the song realy is 150) as I never intended to work on the track with the need for a click track (ie to add drums). As every instrument I played live and didnt need midi functions.
    But now I want to add a midi drum track and basically get everything synced up to a click.
    Ive done quiet a bit of work on this and have a lot of manual settings for EQ, reverb, compression etc etc that I really dont want to have to write down on a piece of paper and replicate into a whole new garageband song.
    I know I can copy/paste the actual wave form into a new song, but how do I copy the TRACK SETTING into a completely new song?
    Either that or how can I adjust the tempo of the original garageband track without it trying to stretch out my various recordings to fit this new tempo? (as it always does when you move the tempo slider up and down).
    Maybe neither are possible?

    (Let the page FULLY load. The link to your answer is at the top of your screen)
    Hey
    Thats a super cool bit of info, and mega handy to know. I tried it out but unfortunately when I create a new file with the CORRECT BPM of 150 (Not 120 that I had set it to before) it still speeds all of the tracks up by 25% (120bpm x 25%=150bpm) when you paste them in.
    Also a few things to note on that tutorial. If you have used an electric guitar track, you need to save the instrument in electric guitar and then select that track to be an electric guitar track, other wise you cant get the setting back later.
    Also, for some reason, even though I did it all step by step (my 9 tracks in order were 1 x mp3, 2 x electric guitars, 4 x real vocal tracks) it added MORE tracks and didnt paste the copied over waves onto the right tracks in the right order (The mp3 was sitting on the electric guitar track). I'm sure it wouldnt take long to jiggle them around correctly, but as the song is 25% too fast anyway, I didnt think it was worth messing around with it anymore.
    So, anymore suggestions?

  • Data of Pop Up (Third Party Provider) is not copied over to SAP CRM Web UI

    Hi Experts,
    we have created a Function Group (ZDI_PAYMENT) and have defined  FM ZDI_PAYMENT_SET to set data into the variables of this Function Group and FM ZDI_PAYMENT_GET to retrieve data out of the same variables.
    Process is as follows: A customer wants to pay with his credit card but credit card can not be saved on the Service Order. So that is why a token is created and this token is saved on the Service Order. To create this token SAP CRM is connected via HTTP Connection to a third party provider. When user needs a token he pushes a button and a pop up is openened. This pop up is already provided by third party provider and in this pop up the user introduces credit card number and on the same pop up the token is visible and just has to be copied over to the SAP CRM View.
    Problem now is that when we made testing we found out that for some user it works fine and FM ZDI_PAYMENT_GET gets actually the values for token and data is copied over to SAP CRM but for others it does not work. So we think it has to be to do with the browser settings but we are not really sure.
    Has anybody experience with that?
    Regards,
    Oliver Schultze

    Hi Experts,
    we found out already what was the problem. We have used a URL to log in into the SAP CRM that has a port. Log In Link should be without Port.

  • Existing files on drive connected to latest Airport Extreme do not show up, however files copied over the air to the drive do. Any ideas?

    I have the latest Airport Extreme with a Seagate drive connected. I copied files to the drive while it was connected to my MacBook Pro. The files do not show up when connected to the AE, but they appear when connected to the Macbook, Files copied over the network to the drive appear. The drive is formatted HFS+.

         After playing with this for the last few days, I found a solution. Under the "Disks" tab in Airport Utility, the "Secure Shared Disks" drop down needs to be set to "With device password". Mine was set to "With acounts", which even after correct authentication, none of the files would appear.
         Another interesting note:  The files that I could see, the ones I copied over the network, do not appear now. I can copy over new files, and they show up, but the ones copied prior to changing the "Secure Shared Disks" option, do not.

  • When doing a second "Organize Library" cuz the first was too big, will iTunes recognize what's already copied over?

    I'm stuck with a large folder of music on my PC in My Music folder. And I used "Organize Library" in iTunes but it didn't copy everything over because the amount of music was too big. I've deleted the original copies of music outside of iTunes to open up more space and was wondering if I do a second "Organize Library" if it will recognize that some of the music has already been copied over.

    I don't know what "restore the iPod" is
    It's usually the second thing to do (after Reset) when the iPod is not working correctly.
    Select the iPod in iTunes and click Restore.
    See this -> Restoring iPod to factory settings
    what about my main question? Can I go back to "sync all" but manually block certain albums?
    No because sync all is just that.
    Sycning specific playlists should work fine. And you can create more than one and sync which ones you want.

  • How do I sync so that album art work in one library is copied over to another via home-sharing? Most of the artwork has been scanned and added by me.

    I have three computers, each with its own iTunes Library, but if I add material to one, every few days I make sure that it's copied over to the others via homesharing.  However, some of the metadata does not transfer, specifically the album art work.  So on one library, call it my Home Library, everything is nice and tidy, with album artwork where it should be.  On the other two, all the albums I've painstakingly made sure are complete on the home library are missing the art work.
    Any thoughts?  Tune Ranger and other iTunes maintenance apps don't seem to do the job, either. Coverscout, PowerTunes and Song Sargent also fail this task.

    My understanding it iTunes handles artwork several ways.  First, iTunes keeps a copy of all artwork in its artwork folder.  Second, artwork can optionally be embedded in a media file.  You can, for example, have an album where no artwork is actually in the files but all use a reference copy in the artwork folder.  Even if a file has artwork embedded it may still use the version in the artwork folder.
    Embedded artwork travels with the file when you copy the file.
    I am hazy as to when exactly iTunes will embed artwork and when it won't.  I believe, for example, if you use iTunes to fetch artwork it will not embed it, it will just place a copy in the artwork folder.  Then too I never use iTunes to fetch artwork and I usually end up with artwork embedded in a file or two per LP (each embedded copy uses up more disk space).  Now, I still use iTunes 7.5 and new versions may not behave exactly the same.  If it was my version and I added artwork to a file it would embed it and it would transfer.  It sounds like your artwork isn't embedded even if you are adding it the same way I would (I drag mine to the little arwork display box in the bottom left corner of my window, which apparently has vanished completely in iTunes 11).
    You could try this for a file:
    Script for embedding artwork - http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=embedart
    Just remember embedding artwork adds to each file size, so if you have 1000 files and you add 2 MB of high quality scans to each track you are taking up 2 GB more of drive space.

  • Can I copy over an iPod game from one mac to another?

    I bought a game at home on my laptop. I sync my ipod to my Mac at work so my question is this. Can I locate the file on my laptop and then copy it over and import it into my itunes library at work. In the past, I used Podworks to copy games from my iPod to my other computer, but recently Podworks has stopped working and the makers don't reply to my emails (word of warning to anyone reading this...don't buy Podworks!) - so I'd rather not have to buy software to copy over the files.
    If I sync my games with the mac at work it just deletes iQuiz and all my high scores & history on other games I've purchased.
    Cheers,
    Smartmart

    Use the instructions in this article to locate the games, and then move them to the new computer; these will have an extension of ipg.

  • I have a windows vista pc and want to use migration assistant to copy files over. From what I understand, it will copy over my user profile and settings as well. Is there anyway to just copy files?

    Hey everyone, I just bought a new macbook pro 13-inch (late 2011 model) and I want to use migration assistant to copy over my photos, iTunes library, documents, etc. I know this can be done wirelessly or by connecting the two computers by Ethernet cable (windows vista pc --> macbook pro). Which is faster?
    I also have heard that using migration assistant copies over the user file as well and makes it the new one on the mac. I would only like to copy over files, not user settings. How do I do this?
    Thanks!
    P.S. I'm assuming that when my iTunes library is copied, the mp3 files are copied too. Could someone please confirm this?

  • I have copied over my music file to a new computer and the music shows on itunes but wont play. When I track where the song is located it is reading the wrong information. How do I change this as Edit Preferences has the right location

    I have copied over my music files to a new computer and the music shows on itunes but wont play. When I track where the song is located it is reading the wrong information. How do I change this as Edit>Preferences has the right location?

    Select one of the tracks with a broken link, press ctrl-i to Get Info. Say No when iTunes asks if you would like to locate the track, then look at the Summary tab for the location expects to find the file in.
    Now try to locate the file in question. The two locations should give a clue as to what to do next.
    Here is an example with a file I've deliberately moved from the new layout to the old pre-iTunes 9 layout.
    This means iTunes is expecting to find the file at:
    D:\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music\a-ha\Take On Me\01 Take On Me.mp3
    but it isn't there because I've moved it to:
    D:\iTunes\iTunes Media\a-ha\Take On Me\01 Take On Me.mp3
    which is where it would have lived back in iTunes 8 (though the media folder would have been called iTunes Music back then as well).
    If you can provide the expected and actual locations of a broken track I should be able to suggest the easiest way to resolve things.

    What may work is to restore the iPhone fom the backup of the iPod.  However, if the two devices ahve different apps that come with the device, that may mess up some of the folders.

    Quick answer:  Select all the tracks on the album, File > get info, and either give them all a single "album artist", or check the "compilation" flag (as in https://discussions.apple.com/message/17670085).
    If these are from multiple-CD sets you may also need to enter the appropriate information in the disc number fields.  If they are not a multiple CD set you still need to make sure the disc number fields are set correctly or all empty.
