Error -1309 when copying a file from internal to external HD

I am trying to copy a disk image of an iDVD project over to an external hard drive.
I want to transfer the file to my laptop which burns DVDs at 8x as opposed to the 2x of my iMac 20.
During repeated attempts, near the very end of the copying process, I get this error:
“Sorry, the operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occurred
(Error code -1309)”
I can find no reference to this error code number in Apple’s site or from a Google search.
I have verified and repaired permissions on the disk being copied from (the startup disk) and have verified the disk of the external (Western Digital 120GB).
I have also verified that the file in question plays correctly in DVD player on the iMac 20.
I have also tried copying other files to the external (including disk images) and they copy fine, which leads me to believe there is a problem with this particular file.
I can try re-creating the disk image again in iDVD, but because its almost a 2 hour program, it took most of the day to do that.
So before I take that step again:
can anyone please shed some light on what my problem could be, or ways to troubleshoot further? Thank you.

Can I reformat in Disk Utility?
Yes - keep in mind that reformating will erase anything on the drive.
From the Disk Utility Help files:
1. If you want to erase an external disk, connect the disk to your computer.
2. In Disk Utility, select the disk or volume in the list on the left.
3. Click Erase.
4. Choose a format from the Volume Format pop-up menu. Usually you will choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
5. Type a name for the disk or volume.
6. If you're erasing a disk and plan to use the disk with Mac OS 9, select the checkbox to install the Mac OS 9 drivers.
7. You do not need to install the Mac OS 9 drivers to use the disk with the Classic environment.
8. If you want to erase the entire contents of the disk by writing zeros, click Security Options, then select the option you want and click OK.
9. Click Erase.

Beautiful new Mobile brick lacie - Error 1309 when copying backup files

Greetings,
I think I am understanding my problem here but I am looking for advice. I have currently two macs, a new iMac and a year old Powerbook. My youngest daughter also has a inexpensive PC laptop.
I bought this new Mobile drive to be able to backp my photos, music, and applications. I have some applications on the PC side I would like to keep and some on the Mac side. However, to be able to use this drive on Windows XP I assumed I had to format the drive MS-Dos. When I dragged all these files to backup I got a -1309 error which after a google search means that it is a file over 4GB limit.
Can a PC see any of the MAC extended formats? If not, can I partition this little mobile drive into two partitions and reformat the larger area MACos extended and a small part FAT32? Would that be the solution?
//Thanks

Can a PC see any of the MAC extended formats?
Install MacDrive onto the PC to access Mac drives on it.
can I partition this little mobile drive into two partitions and reformat the larger area MACos extended and a small part FAT32?

When copying raw files from Extreme IV card to hardrive, finder copies a few files then exits task and wipes the card clean of all images.

When copying raw files from Extreme IV card to hardrive, finder copies a few files then exits task and wipes the card clean of all images. Have tried new card and card-reader to no avail. Have done this many times on other macs with no problems.
Can edit files off the card, in CameraRaw, prior to 'copying' them, ie can 'save as' to the hard drive, so files seem okay on card, before I try to copy them using copy and paste.
Running OS 10.8.3 on a new macbook pro.

Rita,
The process for determining what is causing the files to be corrupt can be a tedious one depending on the following:
1. Can you review the images on your camera's LCD screen without problems? If not then the problem is most probably either a corrupted/faulty memory card or a faulty camera. If this is the case then your best bet at recovery (of sorts) is to use a program such as BrezzeBrowser from BreezeSys to extract the embedded jpeg versions of the corrupted RAW files from within each RAW file. Chances are, you won't manage to actually repair the corrupted RAW file but the jpegs are better than nothing.
2. If the images review ok on your camera but are corrupted when viewing on your computer and there seems to be no other problem with other files on your computer then it may be either a faulty card reader or usb/firewire cable between the card reader and the computer that is the culprit. Try the card reader with a different cable and also try a different card reader to determine the cause of the corruption.
3. If your symptoms are that you get different files corrupting over time when viewing them on your computer then the problem may be any one of either failing RAM memory, hard disk, hard disk controller or IDE/SATA hard disk cables. This is where the troubleshooting can be pretty tedious testing then eliminating each item from the list of suspicious pieces of hardware. Try the card and card reader on an altogether different computer to see if the files transfer correctly to that computer. If so then the problem lies with your computer hardware. If you haven't already done so at this stage, backup all your important data immediately (hopefully you keep backs anyway).
Hope this helps.

Error code 8084 when copying large files from VNX servers

Hi,
We are experiencing problems when attempting to copy large files from our central VNX servers (EMC) using the connection format of smb://<host>/. With Mavericks this will be SMB2, presumably. Anything over a few MB in size fails with the error:
The operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -8084)
Looking in the Console logs we see the following:
kernel[0]: smb2_smb_read_write_fill: len got reduced, must be running low on credits
If we attempt this on OS X Mountain Lion or below we have no problems.
If, with Mavericks, we connect using the format cifs://<host>/ then file transfers work.
Has anyone come across this before? Thinking I should also post a bug...
Cheers,

Copying hangs when copying large files from DVD

I'm having trouble copying large files (>2GB) from DVDs to my built-in hard drive. When I drag the file icon from the DVD window to the desktop, the progress bar pops up almost immediately, and says "0 KB of 2.3 GB copied" and "Estimated time left: 1 minute" -- and then it just sits there, doing nothing. In some cases, after five minutes or so of inactivity, the copy finally begins... but most of the time it never does. Force-Quit doesn't help; the only way out is to do an emergency restart and try again.
This problem began when I upgraded to Tiger, and several members of my office group have been experiencing the same problem on their own computers as well.
I've poked around the forum looking for answers but the only thing I could find that looked related was a conflict between iSight and some third-party external hard drives... but none of us have iSight, and none of us are using third-party external drives, so clearly that's not the issue we'rehaving.
Any help out there?
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Michael, I occasionally notice anomolous behaviour when files get dragged between volumes. Mostly the copying window shows an accurate and immediate indication of what's going on, but other times it just looks like nothing's happening, the display never changes, yet, it is in fact copying the files over. Now, if you're copying 2gb files from DVD to HD, it's gonna take some time, more than 5 minutes, so I'm wondering how long you've left it before forcing it to quit?

OS X 10.4.7 server: Samba leaking ram when copying large files from windows

Hi.
I'm having problems with:
Copying files from windows clients to OS X Server 10.4.7 uses up the RAM needed for the files to be copied.
If I copy a 3GB file, it uses 3GB of RAM
If I copy a 5GB file, it uses its 4GB of RAM, plus VM.
If I copy 11GB of files (that is several little files, plus some big by dropping a folder to the share), it consumes all the RAM the machine has, and because of VM paging, whatever other clients are reading from the disk (XRaid) start to have hiccups.
The RAM of the machine NEVER gets flushed after the copying has finished. So Samba is unusable as it is. I have four Xserves with 4GB of RAM, with 4 XRaids connected each one to each Xserve with its Apple Fiber Channel card and cables.
I already did the ack=0 thing, got the size of inet.tcp.sendspace and rcvspace to 8388608 and the buffer to 16777216.
The transfers rates are up to 70MB/s with 2 channel 1gb trunking, and at very sustained rates..
We are using these to edit video content (DV 25) in Sony Vegas with 2 or 3 clients for each server.
Any suggestions?
Thanks very much.

Error -36. Can't copy files from Internal to External HD. Need Help!

*So I am having difficulty with transferring files from my internal hard drive to any of my external hard drives. Especially when it comes to media files. It keeps giving me an error saying:*
+"The Finder cannot complete the operation because some of the data in *** could not be read or written. (Error code -36)."+
*So I looked up online on what could fix it, and I came across DiskWarrior. I bought the application and ran the software, and did a Check & Repair Disk Permissions for my internal HD as well as my external HD. Everything seemed fine on my external HD, but when I did a diagnostic on my internal, I got this information:*

*From my own knowledge, it seems that I am having an issue with the permissions of the files. I tried repairing them, but it seems DiskWarrior can't repair the files due to the fact that they are either not repairable or they are missing. I hoping I don't have a hardware issue with my HD cause it seems like the issue can't be fixed via software. I have also tried backing-up my drive with Time Machine, but it won't let me do that either. Here are the things that I have tried up until now on how to fix it, and have failed:*
1. Reformatted External HDs to be "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)"
2. Used DiskWarrior and did a Check & Repair Disk Permissions
3. Tried manually changing file permissions.
*If anybody knows how to fix this, besides using the methods I have already tried, please let me know! Thanks!*

First, the permissions messages are not errors. They cannot be repaired. They are innocuous and can be ignored.
Second, Error -36 is not a permissions error. Usually it is related to trying to copy files to a non-OS X formatted drive such as trying to copy a file larger than 2 GBs to an MSDOS formatted drive. The error may also arise when the file being copied is corrupted or has a filename with too many characters or a filename using illegal characters.
The error may occur when trying to sync an iDevice or an iDisk. It also may occur when trying to transfer files from a Mac to a PC over SMB-mounted network storage.
Error -36 is an I/O error. For more see I-O error -36 « fuzzybrain|daisychain|blogdrain.

Error Message when copying music files to Nano

When copying an album to the Nano, I receive and error message with 4 songs left to copy off of the album. Error states: Attempting to copy to the disk "IPOD" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to. With 4 songs left to copy
I have only used approx. 344.8 MB of memory. I tried resetting the Nano and then also deleting album and recopying and the same files back. Nothing seems to work, please help!

If you want to use large files you have to reformat it. It will erase any data that is on the drive, If the drive will be used only with OSX, format it as Mac Extended (HFS+) Journaled with the GUID partition table.
Start Disk Utility (Utilities Folder). Select the drive in the left column (be sure to select the drive, all the way at the left, not the volume indented below it). Select the "Partition" tab. Set "Volume Scheme" to "1 Partition". Click the "Options" button. Select "GUID Partition Table". Click the "OK" button. Enter the volume name and click the "Apply" button.

Drive Redirection virtual channel hangs when copying a file from server to client over RDP 8.1

Problem Summary:
A UTF-8 without BOM Web RoE XML file output from a line of business application will not drag and drop copy nor copy/paste from a Server 2012 R2 RD Session Host running RD Gateway to a Windows 7 Remote Desktop client over an RDP 8.1 connection and the Drive
Redirection virtual channel hangs. The same issue affects a test client/server with only Remote Desktop enabled on the server.
Other files copy with no issue. See below for more info.
Environment:
Server 2012 R2 Standard v6.3.9600 Build 9600
the production server runs RDS Session Host and RD Gateway roles (on the same server). BUT,
the issue can be reproduced on a test machine running this OS with simply Remote Desktop enabled for Remote Administration
Windows 7 Pro w SP1v6.1.7601 SP1 Build 7601 running updates to support RDP 8.1
More Information:
-the file is a UTF-8 w/o BOM (Byte Order Marker) file containing XML data and has a .BLK extension. It is a Web Record of Employment (RoE) data file exported from the Maestro accounting application.
-the XML file that does not copy does successfully validate against CRA's validation XML Schema for Web RoE files
-Video redirection is NOT AFFECTED and continues to work
-the Drive Redirection virtual channel can be re-established by disconnecting/reconnecting
-when the copy fails, a file is created on the client and is a similar size to the original. However, the contents are incomplete. The file appears blank but CTRL-A shows whitespace
-we can copy the contents into a file created with Notepad and then that file, which used to copy, will then NOT copy
-the issue affects another Server 2012 R2 test installation, not just the production server
-it also affects other client Win7 Pro systems against affected server
-the issue is uni-directional i.e. copy fails server to client but succeeds client to server
-I don't notice any event log entries at the time I attempt to copy the file.
What DOES WORK
-downgrading to RDP 7.1 on the client WORKS
-modifying the file > 2 characters -- either changing existing characters or adding characters (CRLFs) WORKS
-compressing the file WORKS e.g. to a ZIP file
-copying OTHER files of smaller, same, and larger sizes WORKS
What DOES NOT WORK?
-changing the name and/or extension does not work
-copying and pasting affected content into a text file that used to have different content and did copy before, then does not work
-Disabling SMB3 and SMB2 does not work
-modifying TCP auto-tuning does not work
-disabling WinFW on both client and server does not work
As noted above, if I modify the affected file to sanitize it's contents, it will work, so it's not much help. I'm going to try to get a sample file exported that I can upload since I can't give you the original.
Your help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks.
Kevin

Hi Dharmesh,
Thanks for your reply!
The issue does seem to affect multiple users. I'm not fully clear on whether it's multiple users and the same employee's file, but I suspect so.
The issue happens with a specific XML file and I've since determined that it seems to affect the exported RoE XML file for one employee (record?) in the software. Other employees appear to work.
The biggest issue is that there's limited support from the vendor in this scenario. Their app is supported on 2012 R2 RDS.
What I can't quite wrap my head around are
why does it work in RDP 7.1 but not 8.1? What differences between the two for drive redirection would have it work in 7.1 and not 8.1?
when I examine the affected file, it really doesn't appear any different than one that works. I used Notepad++ and it shows the encoding as the same and there doesn't appear to be any invalid characters in the affected file. I wondered
if there was some string of characters that was being misinterpreted by RDP or some other operation and blocked somehow but besides having disabled AV and firewall software on both ends, I'm not sure what else I could change to test that further
Since it seems to affect only the one employee's XML file AND since modifying that file to change details in order to post it online would then make that file able to be copied, it seems I won't be able to post a sample. Too bad.

Error message when copying .mov files

Hello,
I'm trying to copy .mov files to back up from my desktop and from an external hardrive (250gb) to a new external hardrive (350gb) but each time I am getting the an error message saying the operation can not be completed due to unexpected error (error code 0). The files i am trying to copy are between 7gb and 20gb. Does anyone what what the error message means or how I can get around it please?!
Thanks!

I have always had trouble (including error messages)when opening pdf files from a website within Firefox

More often than not when I open a pdf file from within Firefox the file fails to open (often you get an error message. "there was an error processing page. A file I/O error has ocurred"). Sometimes the file downloads but is only white pages. I usually then right click the file and save it to my desktop but this is cumbersom!

Ok two things based on the crash report and the steps you took right before the crash:
# Try to disable scrolling acceleration and restart Firefox. Does it continue to crash?
# Try Safe Mode and do the same task as above with email and the pdf [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
# Also pdf.js may be helpful to read pdfs in the meantime. You can change the default reader in the Preferences/Options > Application menu of Firefox.
# Try to clear out the downloads folder and update flash to version 14 (that should do it)
IF it crashes again please also provide the new crash signatures and we can take a look :-) Sorry for the crashing :-(

Copying .avi files from Imac to external WD Hard Drive

I'm new to the Mac and having a few file issues. I have copied from my old PC a number of large (12GB) .avi files to the internal (500GB) drive on my Imac. I have recently bought a 1TB WD external drive and wish to copy the avi video files on the Imac to the external WD hard drive but it comes up with "sorry the operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occurred. (Error Code 0)". The WD drive is firewire connected and I believe is "Mac ready".
Any help would be much appreciated because my internal drive has only about 16GB left.
Thanks in advance.

You need to keep a good amount of free space on the internal drive (the startup volume). 16GB free is too low. Mac OS X uses the free space on the startup volume for hidden system files that are part of its normal operation, including things like virtual memory swap files. Finder copy processing probably also writes hidden temp files into the free space. You should try to keep 10% of the total space free, as a minimum; I use 15% as my minimum, although I've off-loaded most of my personal files to an external FireWire drive, so I have more than 50% free these days.
For your current situation, I would copy some other smaller files (or folders with smaller files) to the 1TB external drive, and erase them off the internal drive. I think the problem is that those .avi files are really large, and that may be a problem with your current lack of free space. So copy over some smaller files first, to get the free space up to about 50GB. Then, try to copy those large files again, starting with any that are on the smaller side. Once you delete them off the internal drive, you will have plenty of free space. You can copy back some of those smaller files you copied over initially (to free up space), if you want to do so, since you should have plenty of free space now.
And remember not to ever get the free space on your startup volume down to 16GB going forward.

Error message -36 when copying large files from Firewire drive

I have kept several large audio files as backup on an external LaCie Firewire drive. When trying to copying them back, almost all of them starts to copy, then stops and (after a minute or so) report error message -36.
I have run both Apple's Disktools and the latest Diskwarrior, but no errors are reported. I gues the audio files must have become corrupted... What do you suggest that I do? The contain valuable audio information that I really don't want to get lost.
