Copying files over a network with Maverick

Anyone else having this problem copying PhotoShop files to a network server?
I get this all the time when copying over an SMB/AFP network.
Mainly as the files aren't in use, aren't open and I've even had to close any InDesign files open with them linked to it as a last resort.
It is so bloody annoying! I have to delete the files it tries to copy to the server, sometimes won't let me as saying they are in use (again!) and have to keep trying to get it to copy, which it will eventually copy over. Wasting sooooo much time in my working day. I'm refusing to update all the opther Mac's in agency until I know it stops doing this.
Anyone any solutions/ideas?!??!

Anyone any ideas??! This is driving me nuts! Every large file this happens. So time wasting. I'm far from impressed with Maverick so far.

Cannot Copy Files over a network

I've had a new hard drive installed in iMac by Apple, and Apple re-installed the OS, which is running 10.6.7 (all current software updates are installed). The iMac is part of a network connecting to a OS X Server 10.4.10
All of the Network Drives have been connected, the user can copy documents under 1MB to and from the server fine. However if we try to copy files over 1MB the first file will copy fine, but then no more files can be copied to the server from this machine, regardless of the size.
If i use another Mac, with the same user credentials I can copy files of any size without any issues. I have tried connecting to the Network using both the Ethernet port and Airport but I experience the same issue regardless.
If I reboot the iMac I can copy a file over 1MB again and then the symptoms re-present themselves. I have tried creating a users, new network drives, folders etc. I can connect using any user, to any of the new folders from any other machine on the network but not from this one.
When the copying fails Finder just hangs with
Copying "" to "ShareName" rather than having the name of the file, I believe this may be where the error lies.
I have also tried running the App Maintenance from Titanium Software, after running this i can copy files over the network fine, but after I have copied 10 or so files, the situation goes back to not copying files correctly.
Tags:

I have tried several files and also I have copied the files on to a USB Hard Drive and then onto another machine, that machine was able to copy the files over the network.
The Firewall is switched off on this Mac, I have tried various different options with the Firewall, Turning it off, ensuring the AFP connections are allowed.
Also using the Maintenance app, that I mentioned clears the Caches, repairs permissions etc etc

Weird X on corner of copied file over the network

i was copying a file from my Mac Pro (Lion) to my MBP (ML) over the network and i noticed this little x in a black box on the top left hand corner of the icon while it was being copied.
does anyone know if this is normal?
the two little red marks mean that the file is a windows file for my virtual machine but i have seen this x before and i was curious to know if this is in fact a Mac OS functionality.
TIA

OK. weird. the files on my dropbox have this weird blue x and then a green checkmark in this spot if i am not mistaken.
so we are saying this is a function of a PROGRESS BAR and it goes away when the copy has completed?
i mean, it did go away over here but i don't remember seeing it before for some reason.
THANKS

Copy files over Network - sometimes message "insufficent access priv"

Hi have a MacBook Pro & a MacPro.
I copied big files wirelessly all the time.
I software updated to QuickTime 7.1.6 and now I have two issues.
1) When I try to pull files over the network, I often get the message "insufficent priveleges". The file is in the middle of copying, so it starts the process just fine. I am logged in as a registered user. I can copy the files from the Mac Pro to the laptop.
2) I used to be able to stream video over my wireless without a hitch (even on my old Powerbook g4). Now streaming video plays for a few a few minutes and locks up.
It seems the update did something bad. However QT video plays fine locally from my laptop harddrive.
Anybody with similar problems or know any solutions?

Thanks for the tip. I tried repairing permissions and lots of things were fixed on the laptop but the problems remain.

Hi Sig,
The issue is that i only want the shared folders to be accessed through windows 7.
Whats the point otherwise to have shared folders?
thanks..

Hi!
I have a WD my book external hard drive plugged into my imac and I want to share it over my network with my apple tv. I went into system preferences > sharing, checked "file sharing" and added my external hard drive to the shared folder. So now it is listed in "shared folders" but under "users" everything is grayed out (it says "read and write" for "everyone" - but "read and write" is grayed out, and it doesn't let me add or subtract users). Now I can access all of the folders I shared from my imac except for the externalhard drive. What's going on?

Hi RRFS!,thanks for help.I forgot to tell that hard drive has 2 partitions 1:format :Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and that works properly,2:format:MS-DOS (FAT32) and when i "get info" for both :first has shering & permitions:You can read and write - with name and privilege, second has shaing & prermissions:You can read and write- without name and privilege

Fax over the network with HP LaserJet 400 ColorMFP M475dw

Hi there, I was trying to send fax over the network with HP LaserJet 400 ColorMFP M475dw, I have connected the printer/scan/fax on a wired network, just have 3 computers on it, all of them can scan or print. But I can't find any option to just FAX from Microsoft Word or Adobe Acrobat Reader, going to File ---> Print ---> and select M475dw "FAx", I installed the lasted version of the drivers downloaded from hp.com and there's no way to install this multifunction printer as a FAX.
So I can't see the FAX on Printers in the control panel of windows.
I have never got an error message from any computer during the installation process either.
Does anyone has an idea of what to do here?
Thanks ahead.

Thanks for your quick answer, I really appreciate it. But unfortunately, it didn't resolve my problem
Actually any of the workstations after complete the installation (with the last version of drivers downloaded just now from hp.com) can't recognize the HP LaserJet Pro 400 Color MFP M475dw, as a fax. I can print and scan over the network, or connecting the printer with a usb cable. I just can't see the icon "HP LaserJet Pro 400 Color MFP M475dw FAX" in Control Panel ---> Devices and Printers. I did a full installation when I were asked during the installation process... I did then I custom installation and neither of them seems to work to me
This is very strange, it never happened to me with any other models of all-in-on (printer/fax/scanner)

HELP! - Error 1309 - Can't copy file over 10gig to External firewire drive.

I know this is more of a hardware issue but I know that only other final cut users would be copying single files over 10gigs.
I have a G5 that I use for video production. Video Files can be large and to back them up I got an external hard drive ( Maxtor 1-touch 200gig) When I try to copy a file on to it that is 10gigs it give me a 1309 error. I have found that other people have had trouble copying files over 2gigs over to an external firewire drive. But I haven't found any answers. Can anyone offer any advice on how to solve this?
Thanks

If you don't want to format it for the mac, you are limited to file sizes under 2gb.
Another alternative is to hook a firewire drive to your Mac and then share it with your windows machines (the program SHAREPOINTS is useful for this).
The drive can then be formatted Mac OS Extended and, once shared, the PCs can access all files without size limitations.
good luck.

Streaming audio file over the network w JMF. How to know when the file end

Hi
I am streaming audio file over the network using JMF. I want to be able to know when a file end so I can close the streaming session.
Can some one please help
Thanks

If you put a ControllerListener on the Processor that's associated with generating the RTP stream, it'll generate an "EndOfMedia" event when the end of the file is reached.

Relinking files over a network

This is more of an After Effects issue but I thought someone here might be able to help me or point me in the right direction.
I have a project that was created entirely with still images (almost 200,000) shot with a Canon 5D. I converted the CR2 (RAW) to jpegs and edited the project in Final Cut Pro using those jpegs. I then used Automatic Duck to send the FCP project to After Effects where I used the Batch n Replace script from aescripts.com (thanks Lloyd!) to replace the jpegs with the CR2 files for color correction. The problem I'm running into is the script creates a new project where the CR2 files have replaced the jpegs, however everything is offline. The images for each sequence are sorted into folders so I go to the first image in a folder and tell AE to replace it with the proper file. AE thinks for a bit and finds and replaces all of the other images in that folder. Depending on how many images are in a particular folder, it can take anywhere from 5 minutes to several hours for AE to finish. It took over 4 hours for AE to relink a project with 10 shots/images sequences containing over 12,000 images.
All of the AE project files are shared via Dropbox with the other Mac Pro in my studio. I opened one of the projects on the other computer and tried to relink to the CR2 files on my RAID over the network but I had to do each image one by one. Is there a way to relink the files over the network the same way as if they were on my own computer?

Replacing/relinking files over a network

This might be an OS issue and not related to After Effects but I thought I would give it a shot here.

Thank you all for responding.
DaveS,
Ideally we would be able to work on two computers, sharing the project files via Dropbox. As it stands now, we do have the same file paths on each computer for the images, just the work hard drives have different names.
Computer 1: Hard Drive A: Project Folder: Project Stills: CR2 files
Computer 2: Hard Drive B: Project Folder: Project Stills: CR2 files
It does take a long time to relink the files but I think that is in large part due to the nature of the project. Do you know of a way that could speed up this process?
And it was a project with 12,000 still image footage items
Dave L,
The jpegs exported form Lightroom are 5616x3744. FCP has a frame size limitation so I would make a sequence set to 4096x2731 and place the jpegs in there. Think of those sequences as quicktime files. I would use them to do the edit in my 2K sequence. Once the edit was in AE, I would resize those 4K sequences to 5616x3744, tweak my edit/frame/scale as necessary.
Mylenium,
That article is pretty interesting, espceially since we have been talking about trying out the Blackmagic camera, however, working with quicktimes isn't an option for this project for various reasons. If we were strictly editing on 1s we could do that but we often change parts of a single shot to 3s or 4s and will hold on a single image for a moment. Going back and making new quicktimes everytime we wanted to make a change like that would probably be more time consuming than the issue we are having now. And storage for 5K quicktimes would be an issue as well.
When I wrote that first post, a deadline was approaching fast and we were worried we wouldn't make it but we did. Now we have some time and are looking at ways to make this process as efficient as possible. We are in the color correction and compositing stage so everything is mostly going to be done in AE.
The whole project is 40 minutes long and we have each scene as its own AE project. When they are all combined into the master AE project, the file size is 1.5 GB and it takes over an hour to open. Ideally, we wouldn't need to open that project very often, really only when we are doing exports. Is there a way to bring that file size down while still retaining the RAW images. Is there a way to somehow proxy the scene projects in the master project? Do you know if Adobe is working on ways to improve working with CR2/RAW in AE?
I know this a weird workflow and not really what AE was designed to do, but without spending $100,000+ at a high end post house, this is the best workflow we could come up with, while still retaining the RAW information. We tried working with TIFFs but the sheer volume of images we have and each TIFF image averaging 100 MB it was too much of a storage burden. If anyone has any suggestions to help with any of this or someone from Adobe can shed some insight, I will be forever grateful.

Sharing Files over a network!

I'm on a network with many other users, some of which are PC's and was wondering how I could share some of my files over the network. How would I go about making a folder or group of folders which are able to be accessed (either with or without a password) on the network. Making sure that only the files within the specified folders is placed on the network?
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks!
