Copying multiple files (1000+) - Progress bar update is slow! Any ideas?

When I copy 1000+ raw files from any drive to another it takes a long time before the copy progress bar shows up, and some times it just takes a long time before the progress is updated. When it is updated, it has already copied alot of the files. Quite annoying, because you don't really get if it has begun copying, if it's hanging or what... Seems to me that the new per-file progress bar takes up too many ressources!
Btw I'm not on a slow system. 2.5 Quad core i7 MBP, 16GB RAM, OCZ Vertex 3 SSD...
Anyone got any ideas on this?

The progress bars have always been wonky. Can't judge a thing by them.

If you go to Photoshop>About Plug-in and click on the words Camera Raw, what version does it list?
I suspect you still have Camera Raw 7.0
When you go to Help>Updates from within photoshop cs6, it says nothing available?

Yosemite 10.10.1 will not allow me to copy multiple files to a NAS -error file in use, but other OS OK.

I am running Mac OS 10.10.1 on a Mac Mini with 16G.
I have a Buffalo NAS and wanted to copy files from one folder on the NAS to another on the NAS.
Under Yosemite I can only copy them one at a time. If I try to copy more than one I get an error message that the file is in use.
Under SNS 10.6.3 (running under Parallels) I can easily copy a large number of files.
Again under 10.10.1 I get the same problem when copying from my desktop to the NAS.
The files are definitely not in use elsewhere and in any case if they were I wouldn't be able to copy one at a time.
When I try to copy multiple files the OS creates greyed out icons of all the files to copy and then aborts when it actually tries to copy the first file.
Any clues please, my current work around is to compress all the files to move, move the archive, expand the archive. This is not going to work for very large numbers of files - l'll be at it all day.

I have been unable to drag and drop large files, even onto the Desktop, let alone onto my NAS - I get the dragged files freezing in the middle of the screen or I get the 'unable to copy / file in use' error.
Talking to Apple Support, they had me set up a new User, and then within that new account, the trouble went away. This pointed to the StartUp items being run in the original troublesome account,
I have deleted all of my 3rd Party programs and then installed them one by one until the problem came back, and in my case (Macbook Air 5,2 running 10.10.3 Yosemite) I found it was DropBox causing the conflict. I have DropBox running in the Menu Bar (top of screen) and disabling sync (bottom left corner) stopped the file copy problem. Try disabling DropBox sync is file copying is failing?

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!

Captivate 6 copying multiple files on Desktop while recording

Description
When I am recording with Adobe Captivate 6, it is copying multiple files on my laptop desktop automatically. They are all full motion shock wave flash files? Is there a setting I can adjust so it does not do this or is there a reason why it does this? When I recorded a two minute software simulation, it put about 20 files on my desktop. I deleted them all and started over and it is doing it gain. I've attached what my desktop looks like with the icons with just four of them.

I followed you instruction but it didn't work.
I am doing the video demonstration recording and it shows the fmr file types on my desktop.
The default is showing to my Desktop.
C:\Users\COONCE\Documents\Adobe Captivate Cached Projects
When I try to enter the path they gave, My Documents\My Adobe Captivate Projects, I get an alert that is not a valid location. I tried changing it to Libraries\Documents\My Adobe Captive Projects but it still puts them on my desktop. Am I just entering the wrong path?

Please let me know
Thanks,

Are you referring to a LabVIEW horizontal/vertical progress bar, which basically has a U8 integer constantly written to it? Is this in a loop as it fills up?
If so, there is an entire palette that allows you to play waveforms. As you're writing to your progress bar the number, you can keep checking what that number is (event or case structure), and when it hits particular values, you play particular sounds. Here is a screenshot of that palette.

URGENT: progress bar update problem

Hi,
I have the following problem: I have a JWindow that displays as a Splash screen at the start of my application. On that I have a progress bar that updates upto 60% (there is no task associated with it, I simply create a thread that does this). In the main thread, i wait for this thread to complete and then display a login dialog box on top of the splash screen. At this time, the progress bar is not increasing.
After logging in correctly, I wish that the login dialog box be disposed, and i should be able to see the progress bar reach completion, after which i want a JFrame to be displayed with a lot of components, and after this JFrame is displayed, i want the splash screen to be disposed.
However, the progress bar updates itself properly till the login dialog is displayed. when i click enter on the dialog box, although i have called dispose, the part of the dialog box over the splash screen reamins visible, and the progress bar is no longer updated. I have printed System.out.println statements in the run part of the thread doing the update, and this shows that the progress bar value goes on to reach 100. but the GUI is not updated.
Can any1 explain why this is happening? Any help inthis matter would be highly appreciated... Pls reply URGENTLY!!! i've already spent three days looking into this!!!
Thanks...

Caution with using threads to update the display -
look at the Swing __utility__ class methods, I seem to remember that
there are 2 methods in which you pass a thread instance
(which can contain display update calls)and this is called and maintained within the event despatch thread - this should mean
that display updates are done correctly.
Refer to Swing documentataion with regard to utility methods
Hope this is of help

Copy the file to the device a bit slow

here is my question . My device there are a lot of space，but i copy the file to the divce a bit slow.

When connecting an iPod Classic to a Windows PC the following is suggested,
Connect to a USB2.0 port, found at the back of the desktop PC, and dont use the slower USB1.0 port at the front of the Desktop PC. - Main cause of slow copy operation.
Disconnect all other USB Devices, except the mouse and keyboard. ( another cause of iPod USB resource timeout)
Disconnect from the Internet, if you are syncing large numbers of files. (Some browsers plug-ins maybe hogging the system resources)
Stop your Antivirus. (monitoring/scanning of devices cause freezing of iTunes)
Preferably run only iTunes while you are syncing or Restoring. (to prevent winsock conflict)
Have a nice day!

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

If files already have been downloaded then remove the files in the updates and updates\0 folder.
You can also delete active-update.xml and possibly updates.xml (stores the update history).

File transfers between two 10.9 Macs over FRITZ!Box AVM 7270 painfully slow, any ideas?

I am using a FRITZ!Box AVM 7270 as my WLAN Router and Internet access point.
Internet download rates are excellent (6 MB/sec), e.g. iTunes HD trailer playback starts immediately. However, local WiFi file transfers between my two Macs (2011 MB Air, 2012 Mac Mini Server) are embarrassingly slow. I typically see 60 kbit per second (even when no other transfers, up- or downloads occur). Copying just one 50 MB PDF from one Mac to another takes ten minutes.
The FRITZ interface shows that both Macs are connected using 802.11n (104 Mbit/s), signal strength is good.
I first suspected a problem with Apple's AFP protocol that was mentioned in several forums. But in the meantime, I have upgraded both Macs to Mavericks, which uses SMB as default. But even connecting via SMB "smb://mac1.local" has the same results: Dead-slow transfers. Activity Monitor shows some peaks at 150 kb/s when transferring files, but it's almost dead in between.
The problem occurs when copying in both directions (Mac Mini <> MB Air).
Any ideas?

I think you're right!
Thanks for the tip!:-)

If you dont have none option then you must own itunes some money. So you have to enter the payment like a itunes giftcard. you can contact itunes by email by going to expresslane.apple.com

What may work is to restore the iPhone fom the backup of the iPod. However, if the two devices ahve different apps that come with the device, that may mess up some of the folders.

Wifi keeps scanning and dropping even after connected to home network. Never had this issue until the update, and now my phone runs slow and terrible. Horrible update!! Any ideas on a fix?

It's important that you have a steady WiFi connection, ZealousEdge. What phone do you have? Is your phone unable to connect to any WiFi network? If you can, please try deleting the saved WiFi network and re-adding it.
