Best set up for file transfers?

I am currently running a G4 Dual 533 as a file server and have placed my music, videos, and photos on it. I am set up via airport cards for wireless connections my issue is that this seems to be a very slow transfer speed. Even Itunes seems to have problems playing music without hiccuping. Is this due to the airport card in the G4 being the lowest transfer speed?

Are you using Apple's Airport card? The internal Airport cards are 802.11b @ 11Mbps. You could get a PCI extreme wireless card with 802.11g @ 54Mbps.

  • How to set up for file transfers via Bluetooth

    Hi all,
    I have a blackberry bold 9000 which I need to set up to transfer some pics, etc to another phone (not a Blackberry) When I try to connect from the other phone it says
    "You can't connect with target device because it lacks of the File Transfer Profile (OBEX FTP) and/or the Object Push Profile (OBEX OPP) Bluetooth services"
    Can anyone tell me how to get these??
    The other phone is a HTC Magic.
    Thanks in advance.

    Which device is the "target" device?  From what you describe it sounds like the HTC is the target device and that would be an issue with that device, not the BB.

    Hello Matthew,
    You should also change your temp directory to something woth no spaces, something like C:\temp.
    Sapisnt sometimes has problems with the spaces in the temp path, and the Universal Installer nearly always
    has a problem with this.

    No. CSS is for presentation, but these parameters belong to
    the HTML and
    have to be written there.
    BTW: The 'embed' element is invalid HTML. If you care about
    valid markup
    and your site doesn't have to be compatible with really old
    browsers
    like NN 4 or IE 5.5, then you should use the valid method
    using 'object'

  • Want Wired for Internet, Wireless for file transfers on home network

    I live in Dubai where internet in my house is connected straight from an ethernet port in the wall in numerous rooms. I have one wired connection hardwired from port to airport extreme which creates a wireless network for my laptops for internet.. apple tv et al. (home network 10.0.1.1 etc)
    In the other room i have a mac mini which is directly hardwired to a second ethernet port. I use this machine for hard wired internet as its essentially downloading continuously for work.
    Looking at network setting states..
    Wired connection states in network details : (To be used purely for hardwired internet)
    router address of (91.74.X.1)
    and ethernet port ip (91.74.x.21) 
    Wireless connection states in network details : (To be used purely for connection to home wireless network and streaming of files within internal networks)
    Router  (10.0.0.1)
    IP4V address is  (10.0.1.4) 
    Subset mask is 255.255.255.0
    I would like to force the mac mini to only use the wired ethernet connection for surfing/downloading, and also have an IP from the home network (10.0.1.2 etc) purely for file sharing/streaming with other computers on my home network. 
    Is this possible ?

    NAS is the right tool for this job.
    It is expensive but the market leaders.. synology and QNAP have really been doing it for long time and the ability to do file store/sharing and most importantly backup in these is excellent. Pick the best you can afford.. and buy disks that are in the recommended list. ie the cheapest are not always the best.. indeed they seldom are.
    Plan very carefully for rotation of USB drives (easy and cheap now with 4TB single drives). Rotate backups with offsite location on weekly basis.
    I would buy a 4 disk case.. you can use 4x3TB which are the best value at the moment.. that gives you 9TB of storage.. plus redundancy for a dead drive.
    Alternatives are using a Mac Mini as a server.. with a large stack of disks on it.. generally should be thinking thunderbolt if you want speed. Hideously expensive though for now.
    You can buy an Extreme or TC.. either would work well. TC allows you easy TM backups without using your NAS..
    Edit very large files on the computer. ie copy to computer.. edit.. copy back to the NAS.
    Editing very large files over wireless.. not good. Multiply that by mutliple computers.. not even fair.
    Copy a large project to the computer.. work on it.. copy back to the NAS.. in the meantime Time Machine should be able to take care of incremental backups.
    There are heaps and heaps of solutions.. as long as it is logical and easy to you.. and covers what you need.
    Don't skimp.. spending a $1000 for a NAS with disks.. plus extra for the backup disks.. that represents how many day's work for you plus anyone you have helping.. $$$$ ????
    A mini as a server is a good alternative.. You don't need to run server OS.. but share files to the network. Very hard to build the capacity of the NAS though.
    And a Mac Pro is now a joke without internal slots and cages for drives. (nice machine but wrong for this).
    And Apple have nothing in between.. a short tower case.. been missing for a long long time.

  • When importing a CD to iTunes which will then be downloaded onto a ipod, which is the best setting format for sound quality?Im unsure if once i save setting for CD import, do i then have to change settings to sync with my ipod?

    When importing a CD to iTunes  which will then be downloaded onto a ipod, which is the best setting for audio quality?  Also once CD is downloaded do i need to change the setting to sync with my ipod?

    I'm not sure what settings you are referring to. If you mean the import CD settings, there would be no point in changing them after importing the CD, would there?
    As for the best setting for audio quality, it's down to your preference. Many people will not hear the difference bewteen one setting and another. The best thing to do is import the same song several times using different import setttings (and change the song title so you know which one is which) and then listen to them on your iPod. Then decide.
    Unless you have specific reasons for using the WAV setting, don't use it. It will use up a lot of space on your iPod and you cannot tag WAV files in the same way as the other formats.

  • I/O Buffer Size for files transfers

    Hello,
    Do you know how to change I/O Buffer size ?
    I use large data transfers from my macbook to volumes of an afp OS X 10.5.8 Leopard.
    Since 10.6.4 upgrade, my files transfers on the internal network slows down. Around 2Mo/s. It was best before.
    I suppose that size of the packets of datas has ben reduced, and I would like to run comparative tests with various values.

    At first, first advantage is that the software document how is implemented standard OS set-up :
    - The system parameters are sysctl variables that are set as follows:
    net.inet.tcp.sendspace: 131072
    net.inet.tcp.recvspace: 358400
    kern.ipc.maxsockbuf: 512000
    so : Packets of files copied on the finder are by default : 512k large. This is also visible during copies.
    With the new set-up, this size is increased to 1024k. I've not found exactly in wich file are saved these system parameters.
    After the buffer size change, the file copy speed is not enough improved : finally, interest of the change is not very high.

  • Items In Use for File Transfers

    Whenever I transfer several files at a time (7+ or so), I get the error "The operation cannot be complete because the item "(insert filename here)" is in use."
    I have tried the lsof command in Terminal with no results. This happens with different files (mainly pictures, as I transfer those in large amounts) and from both local drives and card readers or USB drives. The files are usually being moved to a network attached storage that is in the Finder exceptions for indexing. The files aren't always new, so I do not think finder is indexing them. If I click "ok" (and in doing so cancel the transfer) and start it again, it works just fine (until it decides to hit another file and repeats the process).
    It's a very annoying little problem because it forces me to micromanage large file transfers. Any ideas?

    As a workaround consider
    ditto
    Sometimes I get a scrap file in the trash that cannot be deleted for the same reason, although I find no obvious cause. Sometimes it's the mail app and a stray RSS file, but not always. Even then I have to shutdown and restart mail, which is really not acceptable to me.
    Usually a logout/in unhooks it but that's not a solution either.
    You might try transferring the files using a new account with no apps running or even installed other than the defaults.

  • What is the best set up for video editing?

    What is the best computer? The best software? The best external storage? The best ram? 3D editing? Everything!!!!!!
    Running full HD and 720p at 60 fps videos. Clips ranging from a few seconds to 10-30 minutes.
    Cost isn't an issue.
    What is the best set up, not the most excessive. If it doesn't need to be there or it isn't greatly needed I would like to know. This is looking at the production aspects, not the camera and such. What is the best plug in for slow motion? Pros and Cons of the set up?
    I would greatly appriciate everyones input in this. Thank you so much.

    That is a hard question to answer.. Nothing is best for everyone... However if i am to generalize it I would put it this way.. If you want to cut everything from a short promos to hollywood pictures..
    A high end windows pc (only cause mac pro hasn't been updated in ages)
    Avid Media Composer with Nitrus DX
    Two monitors
    Broadcast monitor
    HD Deck
    pimping 5.1 speakers
    A good mixer
    You are looking at over 70,000 or 80,000, could even approach even more.. HD decks run atleast 15k.
    If price is not an issue then there you go....
    However this is not realistic for most people nor best solution by no means... I run a macbook pro with Avid (as primary) Final Cut 7, Final Cut X (for practice, didn't have to use it for a job yet), and Premiere (just in case)
    I am a final cut child who grew up on it and love it however everything I am doing in last few years is on AVID...
    Have a second monitor..
    I am very portable and rest of the gear I usually get where ever I work at.. I am looking into getting a good broadcast monitor connected with AJA thunderbolt..
    Like I said this is very open question, there is no (BEST) it all depends what you will be doing.. If you get AVID (which can do everything, however is cluncky as **** and counter intuitive) but you are only cutting wedding videos and short format stuff, it would be an overkill galore.. Just get FCP X in that case... Simple,easy, one app...
    Be more specific and you will get clearer answers..

  • Use Ethernet for file transfers to iMac?

    Hi -- In earlier Powerbook use I used to like using the "Target Disk Mode" to drag files from my laptop to my desktop machines, but of course my new MacBook has no firewire.
    is there anyway to connect my MacBook to my iMac using an ethernet cable, to drag sel;ect files from the portable to the desktop machine? I've got some multi-gig files I need to shuttle back and forth occasionally, so it's pretty tedious to chug along via wireless . . .
    Any other suggestions for most convenient means of shuttling big files?
    Thanks

    Yes, you can use Ethernet to transfer files via File Sharing. If you have a home network then you can share files over your home network whether it be wired or wireless. You can also create a computer-to-computer network by connecting two computers directly via Ethernet cable.
    Select Mac Help from the Finder's Help menu and search for "file sharing." Search for "network" to find an article on computer-to-computer networks.

  • Best set up for new imac?

    In brief:
    Getting new imac (27", 3.4 i7, 8-16GB ram, 1TB HD). Will be using it mainly to run Logic Studio (loads of plugins) and Final Cut Express. I also have 2 external Hard drives one 500G one 1TB.
    The last imac I bought was my first and just went ahead and threw everything at it not really knowing where things should go. This time I want to set things up correctly.
    Basically, with what I've got, what is the best way to set things up. I.e where do I put logic files, samples, BFD2, Amplitube etc. Where do I put videos for use in FCE. Storing projects and backups for use with Time Machine.
    Also noticed the new imac will only have 1 firewire port. I will need to plug in the Hard drives (daisy chained), camera and RME Fireface 800. Was thinking of getting a Thunderbolt Hard drive but they are expensive and hard to find.
    Would really appreciate any help before I get the new machine and start messing things up again.
    Thanks.

    Keep it simple . . . . project files (tiny) stored in default position on iMac and media files etc. on one or both of your external HDs.
    You should have no problem daisy-chaining.
    I use a cheap Belkin Firewire Hub (which some folks don't recommend) together with daisy-chaining for my 2 FW HDs, A-D Converter and cameras.

  • Set filename for file download

    Hi
    i have a servlet that sends a file to the client to be downloaded. When the client requests the file the dowload dialogue pops asking if the user wants to download/open but the name of the file is always the servlet name were it originates. Is there any way to set the filename and extension in the servlet e.g ExampleResult1234.csv and send this to the client so that when the dialogue pops up it is set?
    Current Servlet Code:
    String output = "some data from database in csv format";
            response.setContentType("application/binary");
         response.getWriter().write(output);Thanks
