Change Disk and copy files

I've had Leopard installed for several weeks. Started using Time Machine with a relatively small external HD. I now have a larger external HD and want to start using the new one. I know how to switch to the new HD, but is there any way to get the previous backups moved to the new HD - and have it continue to backup from there? Can I just copy the files from one to the other?

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Although I haven't tried this myself, I don't see any reason this should be a problem. You may be asked to enter your administrator name and password but beyond that it should be the same as copying any other folder.
I would also suggest that when you connect the new external drive that you go into Time Machine and select it again as your TM disk.
Hope this helps.

Upload and Copy files using PLSQL.

Hi All,
Can UTL package can be used to upload any local data file to server?
Or is there any in-built package which can be used to upload files to servers and copy files to another directory?
Thanks in advance.

How to use an external hard drive and copy files to the disk for mac and windows??

please tell me how to copy files to external hard disk and use it for both mac and windows. there is the fat32 formatting bt i dont wanna use formatting because i already have a lot of content on the exteral hard disk. thank you.

It is simplest to have the HDD formatted to noe common to both Mac an PC. ExFAT is one. But to do that will erase all data on the HDD.
If the HDD id formatted NTFS, Mac can read but not write to it. The solution then is to use a third party application such as Paragon or Tuxera which will overcome that obstacle. These applications do have mixed reviews.
Ciao.

Help! Error 36 When I try and copy files to my external drive

Yesterday morning I discovered that I can't copy files from my desktop to my external hard-drive. The last time I performed this action was Saturday afternoon were all worked as normal, and to the best of my knowledge I've changed nothing on my system since then.
When I try to drag a file from the desktop to a folder on the external drive I get the message
The Finder can’t complete the operation because some data in “X” can’t be read or written. (Error code -36)
The external drive is the drive I use for my iTunes music files, and I've discovered this morning that I cannot import a CD to iTunes, however I can burn a playlist from iTunes to a CDr.
I'm using an iMac, and the external drive is a Western Digital 1TB (Journaled HFS+) connected via firewire.
I've seen references to similar issues through Google searches, but no definitive answer, can anyone help?

I/O error -36 bummers!
It could mean that there are bad blocks on the disk. Backup everything on that external disk now, if you don't already have it. Unmount and disconnect the external. A -36 error could also be just a poorly connected cable, or a bad cable or port. Remove all cables and reconnect making sure the connections are tight.

CF9 CPU at 100%. Moved to new CF11 server and copied files over and it's still at 100% CPU almost immediately on new server

Our web server is stuck at 100% CPU. Three days ago we were on CF9 and started running into this problem until the server crashed and wasn't salvageable. Luckily we had a fresh Windows 2008 Server R2 ready to go with a fresh copy of CF11 on it. I copied all the website files over and we were back up and running. A day later the CPU is back to 100% on the new CF11 Windows 2008R2 server. I also updated CF11 to the latest update 3 that was just released.
If I turn off the CF service the CPU usage goes back to normal. If I turn CF back on, the CPU goes back to 100% within like 5 seconds. So it doesn't seem like some slow running page or anything that eventually eats up all the memory or whatever. I'm not an expert at looking at the logs, but I don't see anything too out of the ordinary. The one thing that looks strange to me is I see this line over and over.
Dec 12, 2014 11:28:41 AM Information [ajp-bio-8014-exec-59] - Starting HTTP request {URL='http://zzen1wbudopwg.nchyt.com/encfm/en0024-ssj5iway6wvg/cbeim94a1s2kebu.php?do=194', method='get'}
That line makes me think we got hacked somehow, but it's hard to know.
I did up my JVM heap size and max size to 1024MB. We have 4GB of memory. And i changed teh JVM arguments to what's below based on a forum post. Nothing seems to help.

Any additional ideas on how to debug this or what to look at? Thanks!

Thanks Charlie for your insight. I searched everywhere to find a cfhttp request that was causing the issue, but couldn't find it. I did find some unusual files that were loaded though that I know we didn't put there. I did a search and found this link that shows the code. Coldfusion CFIDE bitcoin mining exploit – PHP involved… | code-complete.com and that you mention in your article too. I don't see any of the executables running or files that were mentioned though. I found that code in 8 different spots though and removed them. Maybe our old server had the executables and hacked files on them. Hard to know as it won't boot up anymore!
I think I did possibly isolate the HTTP request {URL='http://zzen1wbudopwg.nchyt.com/encfm/en0024-ssj5iway6wvg/cbeim94a1s2kebu.php?do=218', method='get'} in the http.log file to a certain site in IIS though. And it wasn't our main site. I turn off this website in IIS and it appears the weird request goes away. I turn the site back on and it starts to re-appear. It doesn't always load constantly so it's a little hard to tell. This site is pretty small. I went through each file on the site and did find one file that did appear to be hacked. It wasn't coldfusion code though. Just some html links. I removed it. That's all I could find. No cfhttp calls or anything else.
We re-installed Coldfusion 11 on Friday as well and upgraded to Update 3. It doesn't stay locked at 100% as much right now, but it being over the weekend we don't get much traffic. Monday will be the real test. I think I will leave that smaller site turned off for now and see how things perform. I'm doing a full virus scan for the heck of it overnight too. Don't really expect it to find anything though. I also turned on advanced logging in IIS 7.5 and don't see anything out of the ordinary. I made sure client variables weren't in the registry either.
Here's a part of the http.log file when I turn the IIS site on. I turn the site off and it stops popping up in the logs.

Import and Copy files automatically

Several years back I lost several photos using iPhoto because while it imported the image, the files copied into the iPhoto library were corrupted during the import process. To prevent that from happening to me again I wrote an applescript that would ask for a name of the roll (or event) then import the photos into iPhoto and then create and copy the photos into a folder of the same name on a backup drive. I now had two independent copies of the image in case one copy process went bad.
Now on Aperture, I am looking for a plugin that does the same thing for Aperture as the script I wrote for iPhoto. Although I am fairly certain I came across the plugin before, I can't find it now.
Any help in locating it or any other ideas would be appreciated.

Hi Vadim,
Thanks, isn't %SELECTION% passed to the process chain? I see that the process chain RUN LOGIC contains a field SELECTION. If the value is passed, then I have to change that too?
2) If we change the value to SELECTION2, then how does this variable capture the parameters for the dimensions? I am commenting out the prompt of the copy opening script keeping the first prompt below from the import from BW in order to capture the parameters for both scripts.
PROMPT(INFOPROVIDERSELECTION,%InforProvide%,%SELECTION%,"Please select the InfoProvider
and set selection (InfoProvider list is restricted by both
BW and BPC authority)",,)
Thanks

Moving and copying files in Bridge v4.0.4.2

CS5 Bridge crashes whenenver I try to move or copy files. It doesn't matter if I drag&drop or use copy/paste.
I have tried to correct using advice from a previous query made a couple of years ago but it does not improve the situation.
I am using Windows 7 with bags of memory.

Perhaps I need to take the whole shebang to the shop and see if they can sort it out.
I can say that I have a fairly extensive range of software on the machine and it is only Bridge which is giving me trouble.
It would help if we had a better idea of what drives/volumes you have on your computer, and how they are connected. For example: do you have any external hard drives? Do you have any network drives? Are your SATA drivers up-to-date?
It's fairly straightforward to check your disk integrity: open Windows Explorer, click Computer, and right click a drive, selecting Properties from the bottom of the list; on the Tools tab, click Check Now, then Start. Do this for every drive.
Try disconnecting your computer from the network and disabling your anti-virus software to see if that is causing your problem.
It is always worth updating graphics drivers, although it sound unlikely this is your problem. Maybe your system has driver update software?
You could ask the shop to help, but it might be wise to narrow down the problem first, or they could potentially spend hours looking at it.
The Event Viewer might be a good place to look too, look for red and yellow warnings in the Windows System and Application logs. Find Event Viewer by typing it into Start menu Search box.

How to Mount an ext. HD, and Copy Files to it -- under Windows???

I'm a Mac person, and so, I know how to attach an external FireWire hard drive to my Mac, mount the disk, and use the Finder to Copy files from the Mac to the external volume.
But would someone, please, write a step-by-step guide for doing the same thing under Windows???
It's for the simple purpose of preserving a small number of files on the external volume.
Many Thanks In Advance.

"write a step-by-step guide for doing the same thing under Windows???"
You use the same procedure...attach the drive, it shows up while browsing "My Computer, double click it.
However, Windows cannot read Mac formatted drives unless install third party software such as MacDrive.

Find and copy files by file name

Hey Gang,
I sure hope you guys can help me out. I'm looking for a piece of software that can read a txt file or spreadsheet to find specific files and copy them from one place to another.
In other words, I have a folder with 1000 files in numerical order from 1 to 1000. I need software that can copy only selected images (ie 4, 53, 244, 456, 999, etc...) to a separate folder.
Any Ideas?
-Chris

This is very simple to do with a script.
Let's assume that the files are in /Users/cnhoward/source and you want to move particular files to /Users/cnhoward/dest. Let's say you have a text file, numbers.txt, with one number on each line, and the files are named like 'file_X.txt' where 'X' is the number. Then you could do this in terminal:
for n in `cat numbers.txt`
do
cp /Users/cnhoward/source/file_${n}.txt /Users/cnhoward/dest
done
You don't give much in the way of details, but that should give you an idea to start from.

Best way to find and copy files

If i have a list of 2000 file names and want to find:
if they exist in folder x
then copy to folder y
else
output an error messege to txt file.
What would the most efficient way to do this be? So far i've used listFiles() and put a >HUGE< directory listing into an Array. Then I did a comparison for each file name in the list against the array. I know this cant be the most efficient way. I posted earlier in the board but for some reason NO one answered. Can anyone suggest and easier way to do this? and what is the best way to copy files in java? opening a bufferwriter etc? Essectially, im doing a restore from multiple backup directories to the original directory. Please help me if you can take the time.
Thank you,
jon

find:

So far i've used listFiles() and put a >HUGE< directory listing into an Array. A directory with a million entries is a HUGE directory, I guess you only have a few thousand.
I wouldn't bother reading the files into memory, you only need 2000 of them.
Then I did a comparison for each file name in the list against the array. The OS will do this for you when you try to open the file, which you will have to do anyway to copy it.
I know this cant be the most efficient way. More efficient way, don't do it at all.
I posted earlier in the board but for some reason NO one answered. Perhaps the problem seemed too obvious.
Can anyone suggest and easier way to do this?
and what is the best way to copy files in java? Copy one at a time.
opening a bufferwriter etc? Read a block of say 64K at a time. No buffers required.
Essectially, im
doing a restore from multiple backup directories to
the original directory. Please help me if you can
take the time.If you are recovering from a backup, the most important thing is ensuring the data is correct and valid, speed is less important. (It is no good if it is fast but corrupt)
Coping 2000 files is going to be only as fast as your drive(s) can handle. How you copy the file is less important.

How can I open and copy files on the win side from the mac side?

I am working on the mac side and I need to be able to copy files from the mac side that I create over to the win side. I can open and view win files when I am booted to Snow Leopard, but I cant copy files to the win side. I think Macdrive does the opposite.
Any ideas?
thanks,
C

to write to Windows NTFS you need 3rd party.
You have read only access to HFS from Windows.
MacDrive8 works in Windows to add write to HFS as does Paragon. Paragon has what I have come to see as the best NTFS driver for OS X, and they have a separate HFS8 for Windows similar to MacDrive8.
Maybe you want to run Windows as a client OS using Parallels instead?

Renaming and copying files (Bridge CS3)

Hi -- Scripting bridge, I am able to copy files using the copyTo(target) function.
I also can rename files using the Javascript file.rename() function.
But I am having trouble doing both in concert.
If I rename before I copy, I lose the reference to the selected thumb, and I cannot copy it.
I have tried using the Javascript file.copy() function with no success.
Does anyone have any suggestions how I can approach this problem?
thanks in advance

Don't you just need to cancat the folder that you have as target and the thumbs name in a new file object?
#target bridge
var thisFolder = Folder.desktop;
var thisFile = app.document.selections[0];
if (thisFile.type == 'file') {
     if (thisFile.copyTo(thisFolder)) {
          var newFile = File(thisFolder.fsName + '/' + thisFile.name);
          newFile.rename('SomeNewName');

PocketMac and copying files???

Can someone tell me how you would copy an mp3 file, photo, or video from your desktop to your Media Card (MicroSD Disk on an 8820) using the PocketMack software? ... or what the workaround is to get those kinds of files from your PC to your BB. Thanks for any help.

Hi!
In version 4.0.20b of PocketMac, you can use the Finder to copy your files. (The next version, being tested now, has music and photo syncing built in!)
First: assuming your BlackBerry is already set up to use as a Mass Storage device:
Open your Finder. Locate the BlackBerry MicroSD card. It will appear in the same area where your USB Thumb drive appears. Open it and you can work with it like any other USB memory storage area. (You can even rename it: I changed my Pearl's MicroSD card name to Minnie so I'd recognize it faster.)
You will see a folder called BlackBerry, and under that, the separate folders for music, photos, movies and ringtones.
Open another finder window and locate the files you want to copy there, and drag and drop into the appropriate folders.
And keep your eyes peeled for the next version of PocketMac, because that stuff will be built in.
Have a great day!

MDT Application - Running a batch file and copy file locally without absolute path??

I have an application defined in MDT along with its respective files. One of these files is an install and needs to be run locally. How do I copy this file locally then have it run? I've used a fair amount of batch scripts so I opted for that, but every
batch script I get (even empty ones or one with just an exit) returns code 1. If I enter in cmd /c directly in the command line with the commands separated by && it would not work either.
I DO not want to hardcode any IP into this which is why this is so hard. Is there no way to do this easily without a full \\IPADDY\Share?

You could make a self extracting EXE with WinZip, and then do something like.. (You would create an application with source files to do this, with the below code being your 'install.bat')
@echo off
xcopy "AppFiles.exe" %WINDIR%\Temp
%WINDIR%\Temp\AppFiles.exe
%WINDIR%\Temp\AppFiles\Install.exe
RMDIR /S /Q %WINDIR%\Temp\AppFiles
If you monitor the install and your satisfied its working correctly, you can modify the success return codes under the 'Option' tab, or just check the box 'Continue on Error' to keep the build rolling after this install is complete. Additionally, you
may find this works better as VBS script.
