BT for PC-PC file transfers (1.1 2.0)?

Would Bluetooth work well to transfer files and sync a MacBook (BT2.0) and an iMac G5 fitted with a D-Link DBT-120 USB Bluetooth adapter (1.1)? Or should I just rely on my old home network for faster transfer rates or reliability?
Thanks in advance.

OK, I see on Apple's on site that BT is best for only very small file transfers.

  • Suggested Workflow for PC/Mac file transfers?

    Hello. I work for a large corporation doing video editing. Currently all my hardware is Windows-based. I have a editing station and a laptop, both running Windows. In the future it's possible that I may switch both my workstation and laptop to Mac .
    In the meantime, I occasionally acquire files from other users within the corporation. Some users are on a Mac.
    Currently, I have a USB external hard drive that I work directly from. This is formatted to FAT32 so that both Macs and PCs can easily access it. Unfortunately, the 2 GB size limitation keeps causing all sorts of problems with my video editing, so I'm looking for a new solution.
    Open to all suggestions, here's what I had in mind:
    I have a lot of budget flexibility, so cost isn't much of an issue. I would buy an external hard drive, format it for HFS+ (or whatever the Mac format is), then I'd simply use that as a shuttle drive. To put the files back onto my windows system, I'd use some software to do the file transfer. Anybody know of such software?

    Bumping an old topic.
    I just realized that incase I get a Mac, it'd be nice to get a software that comes with installation discs for both systems, so I could transfer NTFS -> Mac computer, and HFS+ -> PC computer.
    Any ideas? Zero possibility of such software?

  • I bought a new computer, and i have transfered everything using home share, file transfers, etc.. yet still when i go to sync, itunes tells me ipod can only be synced with one computer... is there a way to retire the relationship with the old computer?

    i bought a new computer.  the itunes app allows for home shareing, file transfers, etc.. but i want to discontinue the syncing with the old computer and sync my ipod touch now only on my new system... but i cant seem to disconnect that old relationship at all.. when i try to syncit says that my ipod is already synced with another computer, do i want to discontinue that and only use the new informationon this computer?  i dont want to do that yet because it doesnt seem like everything has come over, and i am afraid of losing songs that i downloaded from cds, etc..

    if you don't want to sync it because you don't think that everything has been transferred then i would check first if you can, before you commit to used only the data from your new computer.
    though, im not sure if this is true, but i think that when you sync your ipod to a new computer it will take the items from your ipod and put it on itunes, like when you purchase something on your ipod and it gets automatically transfered, but don't take my word for it.

  • I want to use my 1TB Seagate Hard drive for time machine and transferring files from Mac to PC.

    For about a year I've been using my 1TB external hard drive for only time machine. To be honest, it wasn't until today that I tried to connect my hard drive to a PC and realize it isn't compatible. I read about partitioning the hard drive so that it can work both for time machine and transferring files between pc and mac. I'm not what you would call tech savvy, so I was wondering if I can get some advice on how to do this.
    Thanks in advance.

    To do it, you have to partition the hard disk, so you will have one partition for Time Machine and another one to store files and use them in a PC and Mac. To create the partition, follow these steps > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU3.html
    In order to read and write in the external disk on the PC, you have to select "MS-DOS (FAT)" as "Format". If you choose any other option, the PC won't be able to read your external disk. Apart from that, note that you can't use files bigger than 4 GB with FAT. If you want to use the external disk with files bigger than 4 GB, you have to format your new partition in exFAT, and you have to do it on a PC

  • Is there a way to prevent LR from reducing size (pixels) of files transfered to Photoshop as a psd file for editing?

    The subject line says it all.  I have discovered that LR reduces the size of files transferred to Photoshop for further editing when compared to the same RAW file processed in ACR in Photoshop.  For example, a psd file created by LR from a 36 MB RAW file will typically result in a 100 MB psd file.  The same RAW file processed similarly in Photoshop will result in a file around 300 MB.  This makes a huge difference when the files are converted to JPEGs for printing.  The smaller LR psd files result in JPEGs typically under 500 KB where the Photoshop JPEGs are typically around 1.5 MB.   

    Whew!  I didn't think this would turn into such a long discussion!.     OK - my error,  spatial data not color.  But that is loosing focus on my question.  My objective is to get the best print possible from the final JPEG file used for printing..  As previously noted, for a given RAW file w/similar adjustments but with one processed in LR and the other in PS , a print made from the larger of two resulting JPEG files, the larger JPEG file resulting from only  PS ACR processing (i.e., no LR) will result in a better print.  Elie-d appears to have answered my basic question. If LR will always pass a 103 MB file then I assume there is no way to change this size.  In case anyone is interested here is some additional info for consideration.  Both LR & PS using 8 bit mode and 240 ppi..  Procedure in LR: 1) download RAW files from camera CD; 2) make adjustments to photo;  3) using Edit in External Processor, photo transferred to PS in PSD format, 8 bit. 4) file size around 100 MB (103 MB per elie-d).  Procedure in PS:  1) download RAW file to hard drive with Nikon View2; 2) open file in PS - auto opens in ACR; 3) apply essentially the same adjustments (e.g., exposure, highlight, shadow, etc) ) as applied in LR;  4) file opened in PS editor;  5) resulting PSD file size with no further processing (i.e., no layers, etc.) is 310 MB).  The resulting JPEG file created from the LR PSD is typically less than 200 KB whereas the JPEG from the PS PSD will generally be around 1.5 MB.   As an academic question it would still be interesting to know why one gets different size PSD files from LR and PS and what, if any, affect this has on print quality.  As for now I will not use LR to process RAW files.  I prefer the larger PSD & JPEG files I get using just PS            

  • Best way to format my 16GB flash drive for Mac and PC transferring large power point files?

    best way to format my 16GB flash drive for Mac and PC transferring large power point files?

    format flash drive in Exfat for transferring files between Mac and Pc.
    FORMAT TYPES
    FAT32 (File Allocation Table)
    Read/Write FAT32 from both native Windows and native Mac OS X.
    Maximum file size: 4GB.

    You can use this format if it is supported by all computers with which you intend to share the drive.  See "disadvantages" for details.

  • The hard drive on our laptop crashed was able to transfer all for 2 users files etc to another mac. got it fixed 80,000 photos were transferred back but iphoto library for 1 user is empty now. can this iphoto library be recovered?

    The hard drive on our laptop crashed and we took it to the apple store and they said we can transfer all files photos and videos over to another mac laptop via a special cable.  We did that and everything for the two users transferred over to the other laptop fine including 80,000 photos.  We got the laptop fixed and my husband transferred everything back to our laptop.  In his profile (he’s the administrator) his iPhoto library has all 7900 of his photos in it as well as all his events and albums that he created prior to it crashing. It’s organized exactly how he had it; however, in my profile, my iPhoto library is empty.  I had over 9,000 photos in it and like 65 events and a couple of albums and it’s completely empty yet when he transferred everything back to our mac, he it showed that 80,000 photos were transferred as well.  Do you know where all those photos could possibly be stored?

    Yes you can move the book but not by exporting
    The book is just entries in the iPhoto database so the only way to transfer it is ot transfer the entire library it is in - you can make a "mini" library containing only one book to make the transfer easier - see Old Toad's tutorial #9 - http://oldtoadstutorials.net/No._9.html
    You also can save a PDF of the book and transfer that but you can not edit pr process it

  • 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.

  • How to create a positve pay file for ACH and Wire transfers through F110

    Hi All,
    I need to create a positive pay file for ACH and Wire transfers to the bank for auto clearing. For checks we have a standard program (RFCHKE00) to create the positive pay file which creates the output lists after the F110 payment process. Is there any standard SAP program available which creates the Positive pay file (Output list) for ACH and wire transfers through F110.
    Thanks
    Sridhar

    Please let your abaper create a 'Z' program using RFCHKE00. For example 'ZRFCHKE00' and use it in the same way as you currently use RFCHKE00 for checks.
    After the program is created, use SE38 and save it as a variant using your own specifications. Thereafter, in F110, when carrying out a payment run, under 'Printout/data medium', enter the program name under "Lists" with the variant. Then click on 'Maintain Variants' and make the necessay specifications there as well.
    Instruct your end-users to enter this program when running ACH and wire transactions through F110.
    Please let us know if this information was helpful.
    Thanks,

  • 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.

  • Problems with File Transfers Over Firewire 800

    Problems with File Transfers Over Firewire 800.
    Over the past month, I have had problems when transfering files from my harddrive, over Firewire 800 to a portable drive. I usually transfer very large files (20gb or more) to the portable drives for moving files around. When I drag a file over to copy onto a drive, the transfer starts normally. If I drag more files to copy over, the computer screen goes darker and a large icon comes up that looks like a power button icon. It tells me to restart, so I have to do a hard shut down on my G5. Weird. I also get the dark screen of death sometimes when I am transfering those large files and open another application to do some work while it's copying. It's killing me. I am having to sit here and wait for the transfer to finish before I can do anything.
    Any thoughts...

  • Problem with Jabber and file transfers WAN - LAN-Users - a solution!

    Hi,
    I read a lot of messages about problems with file transfers between iChat-Users, if one (or both) are behind a NAT.
    I had this problem to and found an easy solution:
    My situation
    iChat-Server behind a Netgear ProSafe FireWall. I opened the needed Ports including Port 7777 (the Port for the iChat-proxy (proxy65).
    The iChat-Server is configured to host the domain "server.ourdomain.com" (as an example).
    This address can be reached from the LAN and also from the WAN-side.
    From the LAN-side the DNS redirects to 192.168.1.1, from the WAN this domain redirects to our official IP-address (the WAN-IP of the FireWall).
    I tried nearly all kinds of mentioned solutions, but nothing helped.
    The really easy solution is: I just added our official IP to the "Hosted Domains" in the iChat-section of Server-Admin.
    After that change, the transfers are made via the proxy65 of iChat-Server. The transfers are shown in the log /private/var/jabberd/log/proxy65.log.
    I think, that the other posters who also have this kind of problem are working in a similar setup (domain name of server is used from the LAN AND the WAN-side with different IP-addresses (LAN-IP & WAN-IP).
    This solution will only work, if the WAN-IP is a fixed address.

  • How to find out the size of files transferred over the SQL * Net?

    I am trying to test the Advanced Compress (AC) for 11g Data Guard. When the AC is turned on, the archived log files are supposed to be compressed on the primary database server and sent over SQL*Net, then decompressed on the standby db server. We will see the file sizes are the same on both primary and standby servers. I want to verify that the AC works by monitoring how much data are sent over SQL*Net. Per Oracle, AC uses 35% less of the bandwith. That means the size of the files transferred should be at least 65% of the original size.
    Is there a way to find out the size through Oracle utilities? If not, how to find out by OS utilities? OS is Solaris 5.10.
    Thanks.

    I'm not sure this can be done via SQL*Net, but a network packet sniffer between the two servers should be able to help - you might want to contact your network team.

  • Error -1309 large file transfers under Mac OS extended format

    When transferring large video files from one firewire drive to another in OSX panther on Rocstor firewire media formatted in Mac OS extended, I am getting error -1309 and lots of problems. The new 250 gig even became unreadable, data was lost, and I had to reformat. It hung norton disk doctor and sometimes the OS reported that copy times for 7 gig files would be 936 hours.
    This is a brand new rocstor drive, and frankly I do not think the drive is the source of the problem, (but who knows?) perhaps the files have become corrupted.
    For example, if I try to drag a 4.8 gig file from a 75 gig firewire to a 250 gig newly formatted firewire drive, (with 230 gigs open space), it starts copying, then a minute later it stops and tells me the disk is full!
    Neither diskwarrior nor norton disk doctor have found a problem with the firewire media or the files. (well, there was one, "a major error was found in the ALternate Volume HEader Block, last mounted version is invalid", but Diskdoctor corrected this) I have researched error -1309 on the internet, but there is surprisingly only a sparse amount of info about it.
    On the first copy operation a few weeks ago there was not really a problem (about 61 gigs worth of quicktimes). The files copied fine. Now these same files -- some of them, especially the large ones, up to 7.5 gigs, are refusing to copy from the (second or third) generation firewire drive to yet another firewire drive.
    Any insights on this puzzling problem would be appreciated.
    thanks

    Status update:
    With a brand new Rocstor firewire 250 gig drive I am unable to record video without getting a FILE I/O error within 2-4 minutes, or dropped frames. I had just reformatted the firewire Mac OS Extended. This drive is just a couple of days old. I have other Rocstor firewire drives that do not seem to have this problem. I have been using a couple of rocstors for more than 2-3 years. Furthermore, the other rocstor drives also contained the same types of files, in an earlier generation.
    The only I way I could have "contaminated" the newer drives was to attempt to copy quicktime files over 4 gigs to the funky drive. This has happened twice now, once with a 300 gig rocstor "400" less than a year old, and now with a 250 gig rocstor "400" just a couple days old. (Incidentally, I have put in two tech calls to them about this matter this week. Their recommendation was to reformat mac os extended.)
    Well, this is puzzling.

  • What is the best product for converting MTS files (NOT on camera or in root directory) for editing in Final Cut

    Hello all,
    I have read the forums and know that I cannot use the Log and Transfer function on Final Cut Express 4.0 for my AVCHD files (from my Panasonic HC-V700) AFTER I have transfered the files out of the original root directory.  Unfortunately, I did not know this until recently and I have a bunch of old footage in .mts form that I copied onto my harddrive WITHOUT the root directory.  I now must get it into Final Cut Express 4.0.1. and I would like to use a Log and Transfer style program so that I can select what I need and erase the rest.  I know about the program VoltaicHD which can be used for this purpose.  I have not yet purchased it, but I will if this is my best option.  The downsides to it are that it takes a lot of time to process the files (i hear from this forum) and that it creates extremely large files (hearsay from this forum, though I would like to know just how big those files are and how they compare to the size of files final cut creates). When I tried the trial version, I also noticed that unlike the log and transfer function in Final Cut Express 4.0.1, you cannot capture multiple subclips from a single clip.  Well you can, but you have to load the clip into the viewing window again, which is not ideal.
    I would love some more advice on this.  I imagine other people have made this same mistake and have had to figure their way out of it.
    I was also wondering is it possible to use Final Cut Express's Log and Transfer program directly from files if they are in a different file format.  So far my experiments with this have failed.  But if this is possible, I suppose I can also just convert all the backlogged files wholesale into a format that Final Cut Express supports more easily for Log and Transfer (What file format would this be? Sorry I am new to this).  My new harddrive has a lot of free space, so I could probably handle the huge amount of storage that this would require for the raw footage and then I could erase it after I log and transfer just what I need.   In which case, do folks have recommendations for a file convertor.  I am dealing with over hundreds of files and I don't think the free online convertors would work. This product has been suggested to me, but I know very little about it.
    Thanks!
    Mira

    I am also finding, when I use Voltaic trial version, that the quicktime movies it creates are of inferior quality than those created through log and transfer into final cut express and imovie, particularly during rapid movement. There's a lot of visible lines running horizontally around areas of rapid movement (not sure what the lingo is for this).
    Anyway, now I am getting accustomed to the idea that my best bet is probably just a high quality converter to get my mts files into something more useable by final cut.  At this point, I am willing to sit through the render time that it will take on final cut express while I edit.  I am just trying to get my footage into workable format without losing quality.
    Thank you!
    Mira
