Can't Copy Folders from AirPort Disk in Windows

I know this is posted elsewhere, with no answers, but I wanted to get more information in the subject line than the other posts in the hope that someone will help resolve this issue quickly.
I have attached a FAT32 formatted external USB HD to my new AirPort Extreme. My macBook pro sees it fine and can copy files, folders, ect. to and form the drive.
My Windows Vista machine, however, can see the drive but can only copy individual files from it. If I try to copy an entire folder from the external HD to my machine it acts like it is going to copy it but hangs forever on the "Calculating remaining time" window.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Well, for me it only happens when moving files from the AEBS HD. I move folders and files all the time from my Vista machine to both another desktop with XP and to a laptop with XP as well as to my MacBook Pro and have never encountered this problem. So, I can only assumer, at least in my case, that is is, in fact, related to the AEBS HD.

  • Can't add folders from My Music in Windows to iTunes

    I am having issues importing my music into itunes. I recently reloaded itunes onto my computer - and rebuilt my library from "My music" folder in windows. Problem is, when itunes added my music to my library, it only added about half of my subfolders from my music folder in windows. I have tried resetting privacy settings, transferring file by file, and folder by folder. The files look exactly the same (the ones in my library in itunes and the ones that aren't) and I never got an error message - such as I'm running out of space, etc. Anyone know a solution?? Thanks so much.

    I am having a similar problem to this.
    I recently purchased a Nano 3g for our daughter. She had previously been using an all in one digital camera/camcorder with .mp3/.wma capability for listening to music and had been using Windows Media Player to sync the music.
    When I helped her set up iTunes it was obvious she needed some help cleaning up the id3 tags for organization and to get the proper album art. So I copied all of her music (317 .mp3 and .wma files ripped from CD using Windows Media Player) from her computer to a USB hard drive and then copied them to my computer. I set up a second iTunes library and added the files to the new library from the file menu (File/Add Folder To Library) in iTunes, converting the .wma files to .mp3 in the process. I have iTunes set up to copy music to the iTunes Music folder and keep it organized.  After eliminating the duplicates and poorly ripped files I ended up with 283 .mp3's, then used a combination of iTunes, Picard, beaTunes and the Internet to properly tag and get artwork for them. So tonight I finished cleaning them up and as a test run I copied the 283 cleaned-up and properly tagged .mp3's to the usb drive, deleted everything from my second iTunes Music folder, deleted the iTunes library .itl and .xml files and then copied the files back to my computer and used the Add Folder To Library function to copy the files to the iTunes Music folder again. First I tried to drag and drop the files from the USB drive into iTunes but that only transferred 11 files. Then I tried to use the Add Folder To Library function directly from the USB drive I only got about half the files to transfer. So I ended up using Windows Explorer to copy all the files from the USB drive the iTunes music folder and then use the Add Folder To Library function from there. After a couple of tries I have 18 mp3's that will not show up in the iTunes library or play in iTunes. I also tried to add them individually by using the Add File To Library menu selection, dragging and dropping, and Open with command in Windows Explorer with no luck. These files play just fine and display the proper id3 info (including artwork) in Windows Media Player and Winamp. The original (uncleaned) files are still on the USB drive and will play in iTunes so I guess I will have to reimport them and clean them up again to see if I can get them to transfer. Or possibly I will just clean them up on her computer.
    Any suggestions/comments would be appreciated. I will be sending in my laptop for warranty work sometime this month and as a precaution I will be wiping the hard drives before sending it in (they will most likely reformat before sending it back anyways) and I would prefer not to have this happen when I try to reload the 9000+ mp3's currently on it.
    I am using an Alienware area 51m 7700 – 3.4ghz P4, 1gb RAM, 2x 60gb HDD's in a RAID0 configuration , Windows XP Pro SP2, iTunes 7.4.3.1, and WD Passport 120gb USB drive, if that makes a difference. All drivers/software current/stable.

  • Can't copy large files to AirPort Disk Using Windows 7

    Hi Everyone,
    I'm positng because I'm unable to copy large files to an AirPort Disk using Windows 7.  I have the following setup.
    AirPort Extreme:
    - Firmware version: 7.6.1
    - Airport disks secured by password
    - No guest access allowed
    - Airport Disk Preferences:
      - Automatically discover airport disks is enabled
      - Show Airport Disks in the system tray is enabled
    External Drive:
    - Western Digital 500 GB MyBook External Drive connected to Airport Extreme thru USB
    - FAT32 Formated
    Computers:
    - 2 Toshiba Proteges, Both with 4GB RAM
    - Both have Windows 7 Home Premium with Service Pack 1, 64-bit version
    - (Sorry we have no MacBooks at home, just iPhones and iPods!)
    Airport Utility:
    - Version  5.6.1
    Airport Disk Preferences Utility:
    - Version  1.5.5.3
    A week ago, I was able to copy over large files (videos <4GB in size) to the drive.  Now, when I try to copy over these large files to the drive, the copy dialog box hangs.  I receive a message stating that Windows is calculating the size, but then it doesn't copy over.  Windows then gives me a message that it is unable to copy to the drive.  When I test the drive connection by copying a small text file over, it copies over quickly and seamlessly.  This problem occurs on both computers.
    I am able to do the following with the drive connection:
    - Read files
    - Change file names
    - Copy files from the drive to my computer
    - See the contents of drive
    I've tried all the combinations of the following with no success:
    - Turning off Windows Search
    - Downgrading the firmware
    - Reconfiguring wireless adapter
    - Rebooting computer
    - Rebooting wireless router
    - Rebooting external drive
    The drive seems to be working fine except for when I want to copy <2GB files over to the drive.  Does anyone have a solution that seems to work?
    Thanks!

    I'm happy to report that, after reformatting the drive to HFS+ (aka Mac OS Extended), there are no problems writing/copying large or small files to the AirDisk drive.  I'm also happy to report that I am copying to the drive at a rate of roughly 4MB/s.
    As I mentioned earlier, the only catch is that I am unable to plug the external drive directly into a Windows computer via the USB port as Windows is unable to read HFS+ formatted drives.  (I can, however, plug the drive into a Mac computer as they can read HFS+ formatted drives.  The only problem is that I don't own any Macs at this time!  LOL!)
    You're probably wondering how I formatted the external drive to HFS+ since I don't own any Macs.  (Windows only allows you to format drives in exFAT, FAT, NTFS and the like.)  That is a good question.  Basically, I downloaded an open source formatting tool called, Gparted, which allows you to format any USB drive to any major file format system.  Since Gparted is an open source tool, it is a little cumbersome to use. Once you figure out how to use it, it is a cinch to format the drive to HFS+.  (Of course, an easier method would be to borrow a friend's mac, plug the drive into their mac, and format it to HFS+ using their mac.)
    For a step-by-step guide on how to solve this problem, see the steps below:
    1) Backup all data from external drive
        a) Fortunately, I have a 1TB ultraportable USB drive which has enough space to backup all data on the drive
    2) Format the external drive to HFS+ using one of the methods below
        a) Plug it into a Mac and format it
         b) Use Gparted (free) to format it
    3) Plug the drive back into the Airport Extreme
    4) Start copying files over to your networked drive!
    I hope this helps you! Cheers!

  • How can i copy files from one external hard disk to another using macbook pro with retina display

    How can i copy files from one external hard drive to another using macbook pro with retina display?

    That's odd - if you open Disk Utility (Applications->Utilities) and select the disk(s), how are they formatted? If you're only going to be used with your Mac, they should be formatted as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)".

  • Can I copy folders or nested folders from a PC to a Mac?

    can I copy folders or nested folders from a PC to a Mac?

    Sure you can. I have folders on my Mac from my PCs and folder from my Mac backed up on my PCs. In fact I have the complete drive from my Mac, including every file and folder (even the OS files and folders) stored on a couple of my PCs and external drives.
    It is called Networking.

  • Can't copy file from SAP-directory to FTP server

    Hello,
    I can't copy files from the SAP server to the FTP server. The file is created with OPEN DATASET and CLOSE DATASET commands and is placed in the SAP-directory S:\usr\sap\DEV\DVEBMBGS00\work.
    I can see and read the file with transaction al11, so I know it's there.
    But the FTP command always gives the same error:
    S:\usr\sap\DEV\DVEBMBGS00\work\[FILENAME] errno 22: invalid argument
    I can connect to the FTP, but the put command keeps failing. Somehow, the file in the SAP directory can't be read, it seems, even when
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance.
    Dave

    Ok, I found out that I have to use SAPFTPA as RFC destination type, instead of SAPFTP, otherwise the folders can't be located.
    But with SAPFTPA I can't seem to connect to the FTP server. I've tested the connection with sm59 and it works, but for the FTP it doesn't work. When I use SAPFTP as destination type, it still works.
    What can I do?
    Thanks.

    For windows pc's Photo albums:
    1) Create a master sync folder on your pc with no photo files at the root level of the folder.
    2) Create sub-folders within the master sync folder with the subfolders named what you want the ipad's photo albums to be named.
    3) Place the photo files you want to sync in the appropriate subfolder within the master sync folder.
    4) In itunes on the photos tab, select the master folder as the sync folder.
    5) After syncing, each subfolder will be an album on the ipad with the proper photos contained there-in.

  • I am having the same problem I think.  With mobileme you simply copy documents to the idisk folder and then synch.  I cannot seem to sink that folder anymore.  Any idea as to how I can simply copy folders to icloud and then access the MS Word and PDF file

    Apple never bopthered to explain that this would happen
    Your iDisk is still accessible after moving to iCloud in exactly the same way as before. Nothing is deleted until June 30th 2012.
    , so I could easily have lost ALL of the files I kept on iDisk.
    No, you couldn't. Firstly, nothing was deleted from your iDisk. Secondly, any files stored on your iDisk should never be your only copy. Even if your iDisk spontaneously combusted, you should keep local backups elsewhere.
    Does Apple WANT people to move their storage elsewhere and stop paying Apple for it?
    Yes. Apple doesn't provide such a service anymore, nor are you paying them for it.
    Apple has made no effort to suggest remedies for the problem it has given iDisk users
    They've provided instructions on how to download your files from your iDisk. What you do with them after that is your choice.

  • Flash accidentally got uninstalled from my pc laptop (Chrome), and now won't even load websites so I can't download it.  Can I copy it from my desktop?  Or how do I get it back onto my laptop?

    Flash accidentally got uninstalled from my pc laptop (Chrome), and now it won't even load websites so I can't download it.  Can I copy it from my desktop?  Or how do I get it back onto my laptop?

    Hi micha164,
    I am curious to know how did Flash Player get uninstalled from Chrome? If you can please share steps to reproduce how your Flash Plugin got Removed?
    Also, Can you open chrome application Goto Chrome://plugins and See if Adobe Flash Player Plugin is Disabled? If yes, kindly enable Flash Player Plugin by clicking the [blue colored]enable link and restart the browser to see if the changes have reflected.
    Because Flash Player cannot be uninstalled from Chrome using any uninstaller, as it is embedded part of the app installer/update and can only be removed if you remove the plugin reference from the location on disk. Possibility is that your plugin got disabled and did not get enabled after that.
    Please see if it helps. If the above does not work then the only resolve is to update Chrome app. Please let us know if your query got resolved or not.

  • How can i copy apps from one computer to another?

    how can i copy apps from one computer to another?

    You don't mention which operating system you have so it's difficult to provide an answer since the mac and Windows stores the files differently.
    The other thing you can do is just re-download the apps from the iTunes Store. Just login to the iTunes Store on the other computer using the same Apple ID. On the right-hand side of the iTunes Store page you will see a 'Purchased' link. Clicking on that will take you to a page that will list your past purchases which you can re-download to the new computer.

  • Can't copy files from mounted DMG. What's up??

    So all of a sudden, I can't copy files from mounted DMG files. It's strange because if there is one file and I drag it to another location, like desktop, it won't copy. If I drag 2 files from the mounted DMG to the desktop one of them copies. If I drag 3, then 2 copy... it's always all but one of the files... never all of them.
    I've tried repairing permissions but nothing works. I'm at a loss...
    thanks

    Try holding option when you drag the files. This tells the mac to move the files to the desktop of your computer not the desktop folder of the DMG (usually a hidden folder)
    If that doesn't work it may be that you need administrative privileges to move the files. Make sure you are logged on as as an administrator by selecting the account tab in system preferences and making sure it says "admin" under your user name. Log on to or create an administration account then try moving the file.
    Hope this helps, let me know

  • How can I copy songs from one iPod to another?

    I received a new iPod Classic (last generation) and I'm trying to transfer my songs from my old iPod Nano (also last generation).
    My iTunes library is also split up between my two parent's houses and I only have half the songs on my Nano in this computer's library.
    Is there a way to copy only the songs on the +iPod Nano+ (not the iTunes library) and drop them onto the new iPod?

    *Is there a way to copy only the songs on the iPod Nano (not the iTunes library) and drop them onto the new iPod?*
    You can't copy directly from one iPod to another, you have to copy the songs back to iTunes and update the new iPod from there. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod to a computer
    The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward.

  • OSB : How can we copy  actions from one project folder to other projects?

    How can we copy actions from one project folder to other projects in OSB?
    For eg:
    I have a service call out action in Project1/proxySer1
    I want to copy this to Project2/proxySer2.
    Espicially, in our case error handling callout is common to all of our projects and we should be able to copy from one to another.
    Edited by: user10367892 on Aug 20, 2009 12:28 PM

    Thank you for the reply.
    It was my fault. I was on two different servers, while i was doing this and so didn't work. But copy /past action works as you suggested.
    Can I select multiple actions from one stage and paste to different proxy service? I have too many options to copy/paste and hence I have this question.
    Is there any other way of copying all selected actions in one stage to another, but not the complete stage itselft?
