Can't copy all files from a CD-R

I have a number of CD-Rs of family photos. I made the disks on a Dell PC with a horizontally mounted CD-RW Drive in 2005. I recently tried to load them onto my iMAC, but I could only copy about half of the files before the drive hung-up. The drive would often make noise and then slow to a near inaudible crawl and then say the file(s) could not be copied.
I was able to copy the missing files to a memory stick at a local library on an HP PC with a horizontally mounted drive, so the disks are OK. Interestingly, I had trouble with the disks at a library with iMAC-like HP PCs, i.e., all-in-one monitor/pc/optical-drive with a vertically mounted drive.
Other drive-related problems: (1) friends have trouble playing Audio CD-Rs I've made for them, (2) I can't copy a DVD-R with MackTheRipper (PowerPC), the DVD-R plays fine.
Is this a drive issue, a drive orientation issue, or something else?
Thanks for your help.

How can I copy mp3 files from my Itunes library to an SD card for use in a non-apple phone?

How can I copy mp3 files from my Itunes library to an SD card for use in a non-apple phone? I can physically copy the tunes as mp3's but the phone does not seem to be able to play all of them. Do I need to copy an entire album or can I just pick & choose individual songs? The phone is question is an LG running who knows what for an operating system.

AAC is Advanced Audio Coding. Basically it's a format that sounds better than MP3 but doesn't take up as much space as a lossless format (like you'd have on a CD). More than likely you've had that encoding turned on when you ripped your music into itunes (it's the default encoder). Therefore your LG phone won't play them.
You need to turn off the AAC format by going to the iTunes menu, Preferences, General (at the top), then clicking the "Import Preferences" button. Change the AAC Encoder to MP3 Encoder. After that you'll have to make MP3 copies of your songs by right clicking them and selecting "Create MP3 Version." You'll get a copy of the song that should transfer to your SD card and have MP3 encoding. Hopefully your phone will play that.

Can you copy/paste files from the Finder to Mail in Lion, or drag them onto the Mail icon in the Dock to create a new message and attach the files to it?

Message title says it: Can you copy/paste files from the Finder to Mail in Lion, or drag them onto the Mail icon in the Dock to create a new message and attach the files to it?
I can't find anything in the Knowledge Base that says these two options no longer work or still do.
I do not have a system capable of running Lion, but I need to know the answer nonetheless.

Gee, I don't know: "paste attachments mail Lion"? ;-)
One further question, if I may: in Panther (which is where I've aggregated nearly 7 years of mail), if you copy more than one file in the Finder, switch to Mail, and paste the files into a new message, only the file names paste in. If you copy one file and paste it into a Mail message, you get the file, not just the name. Is that still true, or has that (IMHO) bug been fixed since 10.3.9?

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.

Copy All Files From Folder1 To Folder2

I need a powershell script that will copy all files (not shortcuts, omit those) from folder1 to folder2. The files are various types ranging from file folders (will want the contents of the folders copied as well) to .xlsx, .docx, .tiff, .jpg etc
(and more).

Hi,
You can check the repository if you're looking for prewritten scripts:

If you want to try to tackle this problem on your own, I'd suggest looking into Copy-Item or just using robocopy.

Can't copy all songs from an imported CD

I have an OLD 15gb iPod. I bought a new CD and successfully imported all the songs into iTunes (V.7). I then selected all songs and dragged them to my iPod. However, only some of the songs copied. I cannot even drag some of them one-by-one to my iPod from iTunes.
I cannot figure out why I can't copy all the songs.
Any help would be appreciated.

I never laughed in all my life. Here I was, inserting the cd Dance with Me, thinking it's not going to copy the whole thing. yeah, right.
Sure, it prompted me, Do I want to replace the songs, so of course I said "no, don't replace the songs". and guess what it did. It copied the whole cd (at least I got my two songs).
I went into the itunes library, and sure enough, all the songs were there twice. So what did my intelligent brain think of? I just unchecked the doubled songs and stuck my ipod into my computer and it synched up and I got what I wanted.
Now what did I do wrong when it prompted me. I clicked on "don't replace" and it replaced them anyway.
Am I dumb? or is itunes stupid?
thanks, Melody

Can I copy all info from 1 contact in Addressbook?

This is really an Addressbook question more than specific to Addressbook on just my iPad, but having an iPad orig w/ iOS 5 may be the problem...
I want to copy all data from all fields from a single contact in Adressbook to paste the entire contact info somewhere else.
All I seem to be able to do is copy a field or section of fields at a time. Paste and return to the contact to copy the next bit of data
But no select all fields, copy, and paste.
Thanks
Steve

I completely agree with your problem.
I worked on an application with partitioned tables as well (also started with des2000),
and even for a few tables defining the partitions is a hell of a job, especially for the indexes.
When having equipartitioned tables it is very desirable to copy partitioning from one table (and indexes) to another.
I recommend to write a utility based on the repository API for it. That may seem some work, but once you have written such a utility you can easily write more of them, and it will save you a lot of time later on.
I am currently writing utilities for similar tasks.

Can't copy multiple files from compact flash via USB3

Problems on MacBook Pro Retina 15-inch with Mavericks installed...
I am not able to copy multiple files from an attached Lexar USB3 Compact Flash reader (card is 128GB Lexar UDMA 7 compliant). Files are video files and when I try to copy more than one at a time the screen of my MacBook Pro flashes "off" and back "on" and the copy process ceases...
Any fixes for this???

See: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5471050?tstart=60
Update the firmware of your USB 3.0 card reader. It's weird to think there is firmware on the thing, but it worked for me!

Can't copy some files from FileVault Sparsebundle in Time Machine backup

I've got filevault turned on for my mac Mac Mini (10.6.2). I'm using Time Machine to back up to a firewire drive. There's plenty of space - my Mini hd has 250 Gb of 500 used, and I'm backing up to a 750Gb partition on the external drive. The initial backup went OK, and when I logged out it backed up my filevault-protected home directory. When I logged back in, I was able to browse the Backups.backupdb on the external drive, go to the users directory, and open the sparsebundle that was my filevault-protected home directory (after entering the password). I can browse through this backup of my home directory. However, when I try copying files from the backup of the home directory, I get an error:
The Finder can't complete the operation because some data in "(filename)" can't be read or written. (Error code -36).
I get this error for some files, but not all of them. I've tried running BatChmod to reset permissions on all files in my home directory, and then erasing the backup drive and having Time Machine recreate the backup. However I'm still having this problem.
I have also tried restoring the entire hard drive (to a 3rd external HD) by booting from the 10.6 DVD and going through the full-restore process. All of my files are fine when I restore using this method.
Is there something I should do so that I can restore individual files from the backup of my filevault sparsebundle? It is extremly inconvenient to have to do a full hard drive restore if all I want is a file or two, and of course if the motherboard on my mini dies and I can't get a close enough replacement computer, then I could really be up a creek.

Don't try to restore files individually by hand using finder. TM backups are protected by very restrictive ACLs and are not designed to be accessed that way.
you can restore the whole sparse bundle with the home directory from TM interface. you should be logged in as a different user when you do this. the easiest is to be logged in as root so as not to deal with any permissions issues.
another thing you might try is doing it from command line instead of finder. this is also not the designed way but might work where finder copy doesn't.
to do this run the following terminal command after you mount the sparse bundle with backups of the home directory
ditto --noacl path/to/source/file /path/to/target/directory
here path/to/source file is the path to the file in the sparse bundle you want to restore and path/to target directory is the path to the folder where you want to copy it to. an easy way to get the path to an item is to drag that item to the terminal window. make sure that you have all the spaces correctly in the command.
It is extremly inconvenient to have to do a full hard drive restore if all I want is a file or two, and of course if the motherboard on my mini dies and I can't get a close enough replacement computer, then I could really be up a creek.

Can't copy large files from DVD

Hi all,
I'm trying to copy a 4.3 GB .tar file from a DVD onto my harddrive, but it will only copy about 1 GB before I get the error
Cannot read: Input/output error
I can copy smaller files just fine from the same DVD and other DVDs, but nothing too large.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you.

Brasero checks immediately after the burn. I presume your DVD is a bit older than one day . If not, you just burnt yourself a coaster.
I know there are some Windows programs to check the integrity of an optical disc, but I don't remember their names (nor do I know something like that for Linux).
I would do a few copy trials, with dd. If you always see it break on the same size and you have plenty of space left, then I think there really is a problem with the data integrity on your DVD. I have done copies with dd from optical media before, and I think you can be pretty sure the data is corrupt if dd can't pull it off.

I can't copy any files from my mac to my external hardware.

Hi,
I have iMac version OS X(10.6.8). I have a external hardware and when i want to copy my files into it, it won't let me. if someone can help I really appreciate it.
thanks

Hard drives that are going to used with a Mac must be initialized and reformatted for Macs using Mac OS X Disk Utility.
The format is HFS+ (journaled) format with a GUID partition scheme.
If you attempt to reformat your PC's external hard drive, you will be erasing all of your PC data from the HD.
If you want to have an external HD with your Mac, you will need to purchase one.
Preferrably an external drive that uses FireWire 800 or USB 3.0 or Thunderbolt connections.

How can I copy a file from adobe reader to my contacts

HT4889 How can I use all files from every user on my mac?

Is there a way I can share all of the files on my computer to where every user on one computer can access files from one user to another? All help is appreicated!

That is so contrary to the way of OS X that I seriously doubt it.
I would suggest that you just create a single user account and let everyone log into that single account.

Can I copy mp3 files from my PC to my iPhone4?

I have an extensive music collection that I've already digitized from vinyl and reel to reel tape. I have a file structure on my pc and don't really want to use iTunes as a player or download app; and I'm don't want to have iTunes on my pc re-organize my music collection. Any advice on how to copy mp3 files to my iPhone 4 will be greatly appreciated.

The iTunes Music folder is on your PC. It's where iTunes will download things from the iTunes Store, and where it will by default store music you rip from CD or import. That's why you turn off that setting I gave above when you want your track files to be kept where they are.
Can I attach my iPhone via USB cable to my PC and simply choose which music files to copy, and if so is there already a file structure on my iPhone?
No. Tracks need to be listed in iTunes to be able to be synched to your iPhone.
Regards.
