Can't copy any file to/from iomega 1TB home media network CE other than through FTP

Hi, since few days ago I can't copy any file to or from iomega using Windows Explorer on my PC or any file explorer ony my android phone. I can acces the drive but when I try to copy something to the drive, a 'copying' window pops up and shows "estimating" in ETA and often freezes. Same goes with my phone, it just shows 0B/s as speed. I can however copy files to/from using ftp connection. Do you have any ideas what's wrong? I didn't change anything, it just stopped working. Also, will factory reset delete all data from the drive? EDIT. Turns out I can only copy FROM the drive using ftp. So at this point there is no way for me to move anything to the nas.

Hello naat1,
With the majority of support incidents I have dealt with, odd behavior like this can usually be attributed to a failing drive.
The firmware runs on the drive, so, if it is beginning to fail it can cause unexpected behavior.
I would backup anything from the NAS that you wish to keep, then run the factory reset (it is data destructive), and then try to re-load the NAS.

Can not copy any file or empty the trash

Hello,
I'm using a Macbook (white) with OSX 10.6.4 and am having an extremely annoying problem which has three symptoms:
1. I *can not empty the trash* (safely or not) at all.
2. I *can not copy any file*, anywhere.
3. I *can not move anything to the "Applications"* folder.
I try restarting the computer, repairing the permissions, running the latest version of Onyx and so on, but nothing works. I always get the following error message (when copying a file or emptying the trash)
"The operation can't be completed because you don't have the permission to access some of the items".
And this even though I repaired the permissions three times today.
To be honest, this makes my Mac pretty useless, and is very frustrating.
Can anybody help? I've browsed a lot of other threads about this, tried everything, but to no avail.
Come on, this is my first Mac, don't tell me I have to reinstall the OS from zero, Windows-style.

Those are the normal permissions but if you are logged in as admin, hit the unlock button and enter your password they should no longer be greyed out.
You can try chmoding them from root through the terminal if you are up for it. I'd also try booting up in SafeMode and seeing if that allows access.

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.

AAAGGH! can't copy any files to back-up so I can upgrade so I can copy ...

I have recently finally gone to OS10.4.9 on a new machine. But I still have my old 9.2.2 G3 imac. I recently inherited a copy of OS10.3.5 on CDs so that I can FINALLY upgrade the imac and not be running into any of these cross platform little problems. So I went to copy many of my core files from the G3 onto the harddrive of the G5 over the network, as a precaution before upgrading the operating software (and yes I have done the firmware update already) BUT
every time I try to copy files the G5 server disconnects.
so I researched this forum and discovered that I need to overwrite my library item to the old version. But where do I find such a thing since I have just been letting the "software update" do all the software updating on the G5??
and another thing ...
I have original disks from mac for this software. Do I need to partition my hard drive and install the operating system in the first 10G?
to partition my drive will mean wiping my harddrive, correct? So I need to backup all these files before upgrading but this G3 machine does not have a firewire port, nor a CD writer nor a disk drive, ONLY an ethernet port. So the G5 is my only backup option right now. Does this look how it looks to everyone else or am I missing some simple thing?

iMac G3 bondi :: imac G5 isight Mac OS X (10.4.5)

I'm sure that I have an Imac G5, the last of the powerPC family. Bought it reconditioned from mac a year ago. And only over the winter did I get myself fully OSX'd.
Now, about that no new operating system stuff...
I just read on this forum about folks who are having troubles now that they ahve upgraded from OS10.4.5 to 10.4.9 (i think?!) that their OX9 machine can't copy to the OSX machine either. And their solution was to get an older copy of the hard disk driver (I am such an idiot and I can't find the other post but I am trying not to sound too offbase!) and then they can copy without difficulty. I am receiving the exact same error message that they are with the server disconnect. So I thought maybe I had the same trouble since my operating system got updated recently with a software update thingy-ma-doodle.
I will try connect from the G5: such a simple work around!! Why didn't I think of that?! thanks ...
Next, I have already updated my firmware with the appropriate firmware updater from this site. (I hope! I followed instructions in a tutorial and all the messages said the right things)
The disks themselves say: Mac OSX panther version 10.3.5 install disk 1 and disk2 and diks3, and they are black and look like your picture. It also came with an Ecode tools disk and an installation and setup guide along with the license.
Do I need to partition the drive so that the software is in the first 10G of the 40G harddrive? Will it reformat my disk? I have never partitioned before. I have read about it but I don't really know what to expect.

Error -43: Suddenly can't copy any file to my hard drive.

This error has popped up out of the blue as I've been using the hard drive to store large files for several weeks now. And then tonight, it's suddenly stopped working. Midway through copying a file, it stops, and I get this dialog box:
Here's the specs of the hard drive in question:
Any clue what's going on? Thanks!

HI Jeff,
How much available disk space is there? Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see
Capacity and Available. Make sure you always have a minimum of 10% to 15% free disk space at all times.
First, Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
Discovered this for Error 43 also. Not sure if it applies. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2039

Can't copy any files onto phone, but have plenty of memory

My blackberry is only a few months old and a few days ago I tried to copy a podcast onto it and the following message came up:
The item “...” can’t be copied because there isn’t enough free space.
I then deleted a file the same size and tried again, but the same message came up. I then deleted all of the 1 album and two podcasts I had on it, and got the same message. I then went on to delete everything else, inbox, photos, videos, etc. I have no games or anything installed, and if I checked available space and it says I have 130215377 Bytes file free.
Is my Blackberry just broken or am I doing something wrong?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Try doing a battery pull. While the device is on, remove the battery for 15-30 seconds, reinsert and wait for the device to reboot. Does this help? If not, can you try using a microSD card in your device?
If none of that helps, there are some other things that we can try in escalation. To do that, just let me know if you do have a microSD card installed on the device or if you are just using the internal memory on the device, etc.
Good luck!

I just downloaded the new itunes update, now I can't copying TV shows purchased from the library to my backup computer, it says the files are invisible. Never had any problem doing it until the update.

Trying to copy ANY file from my MacBook Pro to an external hard drive spins for 45 minutes then fails. I hate this computer and WISH I never would have wasted my money. Any ideas? WD My Passport 2TB Drive, had to buy a program to make the POS write

Trying to copy ANY file from my MacBook Pro to an external hard drive spins for 45 minutes then fails. I hate this computer and WISH I never would have wasted my money. Any ideas? WD My Passport 2TB Drive, had to buy a program to make the POS read files. Copies that would take seconds from a Windows based machine never complete. I have to close the transfer or shut off the machine half the time. Worst computer I have EVER owned, crashes non-stop, constantly freezes, and seems like EVERY operation is more complicated with this thing. Literally, my 1997 Compaq was FAR MORE reliable and user friendly.

This is one of the messages I keep getting; The Finder can’t complete the operation because some data in -- File Whatever -- can’t be read or written.(Error code -36)
I have copied things to the hard drive in the past, but it has always been incredibly slow, and now just seems to freeze and fail

I can not delete or copy new files to my Iomega external hard drive

Hi,
I can not delete or copy new files to my Iomega external hard drive. Opening hard drive folder I can see that I can not overwrite it. I have heard that I need to install some program for the external hard drive to operate properly in Mac.
Please help what to install or there is some other option.
Thnx

I'm not the expert on this since I have never done it. It sounds like you may need a data rescue program like Data Rescue III. I believe you can download a demo and see if you can see the files. If you can, then you can buy the program and retrieve the files. I don't know if Disk Utility can restore them--I think they have to be visible but this is not something I have ever had to do.
In the meantime, don't do anything with the drive--you don't want to overwrite any files. Hopefully all or most of the files are still there and you will be able to retrieve them. The less the drive is used, the better your chances are of retrieving the data.
Forgive me for not realizing that there were files on the drive that you wanted to save. Upon re-reading your question, I now see that there were. I should have known to warn you, and my bad that I didn't.
Good luck!

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?

I can't export any files from pages unless I create a duplicate file. I can't export to doc, docx or pdf! Heeeelp!

I can't export any files from pages unless I create a duplicate file. I can't export to doc, docx or pdf! Heeeelp!

what version of pages?
what is the files type that you are trying to export?
what do you mean unless I create a duplicate file? the whole point of export is that you get a new file with a new format

Can't upload any files from my mac to the Internet

I am new to Macbook, and this obviously never happened before
So, the problem is:
I can't upload any files from my Mac anywhere (Facebook, Instagram, etc)
I can't attach files to e-mails.
any files that are on my desktop, folders - they just turn in grey and I can't choose them.
The only way I can do it is by going to "ALL FILES" where I have to search through all the files that are on my Mac
Keep in mind that this is a glitch, because earlier it was all fine and normal
To see what I mean I am uploading a skreen shot of attemp of uploading files to Fb.
Can anybody help? Can it be some sort of virus?

Okay I had the same problem but I figured it out. When you go to choose file, all the links are greyed out. Use two fingers simulatiously and click down on the file you want, then choose "quick look" from the option menu. This will open a preview of your document and make the open button usable. Close the preview, and then select the open button.
The site I was trying to use says it only supports IE, so maybe that is what causes the problem.
Hope it works for you!
