Error Transferring Files questi

I purchased a Nano Plus from Craig's list. It is only 4 months old - i was given the receipt. I uploaded several songs that were saved on my hard dri've, burned from CDs. The player worked great. Then i purchased 8 songs from Walmart.com. The first six uploaded fine, but the last 2 had license problems. I emailed Walmart and they got that straightened out. Still, those last 2 will not upload to the player. Everytime i try it says "Error transferring file". These files are wma files, which i read my Nano is supposed to recognize. Even though the first 6 uploaded to the player, when it comes to that song it skips over it. I went to the creative labs website and read their technical advice. It said to delete the PC music library - I did. I then tried to upload a song saved on my hard dri've (an mp3 file) and it again said "error". Their next suggestion is to do a firmware upload which will erase my player. Should I do this? Any idea what is going on? Thanks for any suggestions.

Update, i deleted all the files and it let me put them back on. I put them all into small folders. Now, my problem is, it put ALL the songs on like they worked fine. When the wma format ones that i downloaded from Walmart,com come up, the title shows up on the screen but it skips to the next song. Should i have done something -set something up on the player to accept these? Thanks for your help. I bought this used and the only manual i've got is the online one.

Error transferring files using MicroPhoto Media Explo

Hello, I'm having a very frustrating issue. I just had the hard dri've replaced on my MicroPhoto 8, and now when I try to add files using MicroPhoto Media Explorer (as I have for the last 8 months), I get the message "files not transferred; unknown error."? Likewise, when I try to use that same software to rip a cd directly to the player, it acts like it's working, then I get an error message. I know there are other ways to accomplish this, but since I'm starting from scratch, I'd rather use the method that I find to be the fastest and that I'm most familiar with. I've reloaded the software onto my PC, I've rebooted, reformatted, and updated the firmware on the player. Has anyone had this problem, or have any suggestions? Thanks!

External hard drive problem, error when transferring files

My old imac special edition started acting weird and the screen was bad anyway, so I bought a mad dog fire wire enclosure and put the 80 gig drive in it and attached it to my FP imac 800. The problem is that I didn't know that it would only act as a storage device and not be able to open up any of the programs that are installed on it, so I have some shifting around to do so that I can get all my programs installed on the imac so that the files on the external drive will work. I have transfered files from the external drive to the imac no problem, but today I tried several times to transfer files from the imac to the external drive, which I have to do to clear up some space before I can do anything else, and it wont let me. It keeps saying error code -51. What can I do to get this to work?
FP iMac 800 Mac OS X (10.2.x)

There are differences in external volumes, how they were setup, and which Macs they will work on. So much for keeping things simple.
If I remember right, you can't use or have limited use of HFS+ drives on external firewire. On an Intel Mac, it has to be setup using gpt. You can do this using Disk Utility, there is a new option for this.
I had a link that went to macfixit, but the content is now blocked. If I can scare it up again, I will post it back here.

This means that the SSH server you're trying to connect to isn't listening. Is the SSH server running? Are you trying to connect to the right machine?

Tp import fails with error "data files not transferred"

Hi colleagues,
I am working on transport requests. I had issued out the tp addtobuffer SIDKxxxx <sid> pf=TP_DOMAIN_SID.PFL command for a number of transport requests at OS level; but when i then try to do tp import SIDKxxxxx <sid> client= u18 pf=TP_DOMAIN_sid.PFL, i get this error: "Data files are not transfered" in the QAS system. Everything works fine in PROD though. What could be the reason for this. I can't get it done within the application either.
Your responses appreciated.

Hi,
I guess you have individual transport directories. I f you have configured the Transport Domain and added the Other Two into the Domain and configured the Transport Route. You should be able to see the Some RFC Destinations in SM59.
TMSADM@<SID>.<DOMAIN NAME>
TMSSUP@<SID>.<DOMAIN NAME>
Please check the Test connection. of all these RFC Destination. If these fail check if you have firewall issues between the system stopping the communication on Port 33<Instance No>.
Thanks,

Error message when transferring files from Adobe reader on iPad to Mac via iTunes

I use adobe Reader on my iPad Air for work and at the end of each day transfer the files to my Mac at home through iTunes. Lately i am getting an error message "file could not be copied because an error occurred. A duplicate file name was specified." I have updated everything i can think of..any suggestions?

Isn't the error message displayed by iTunes? Can you check your Mac to see if there are actually duplicate files?
I'd recommend searching for an answer in the Apple Support Communities.
Community: iTunes for Mac
Please do let us know if the problem has started since the new update to Adobe Reader (version 11.3.0 or 11.3.1). Thank you.

No response from server error when transferring files

Hi, I just changed my website over from a windows based server to a linux one. I wasn't having any problems and now I can't get my files to load onto the server. I contacted the server provider who has tested things on their end and say the problem is with dreamweaver. This is the message I have been getting...
no response from server while transferring file.... reconnecting.
It says that it is putting the file, and then I receive this message again..
no response from server while transferring. 2 attempts made. try again or cancel?
if I hit cancel, then it starts putting the file and sometimes it goes through, sometimes not.
Now if I manage to get the file through, when I post it on the web and click on the link it says the file is damaged or corrupted.
Anyone have any idea how to correct this? I am new to dreamweaver and web design and I thought maybe the problem has to do with my site definition, but I can't see that there is a problem. I have noticed that before I changed the site definition for the linux server I could easily preview my pages in the browser without having to post it to the site. Now when I try to preview my pages it says that I have to put it to the site in order to view it. Could that be related?
I am working on a Mac and haven't installed a firewall.
Any help is much appreciated!!!
Thank you!

In the Site Settings (Advanced Mode) there is an option where you set up the remote connection for Passive FTP. Try checking that box and see if you are able to connect.

I transferred files from a NAS server to the Mac Mini Snow Leopard Server and now some of the files have Custom Access and can't be opened by some users. How do I fix this?

We're setting up our Mac Mini Snow Leopard Server, and in the process transferred files that had been stored and accessed from our Blackarmor NAS server over to the Mac. These files were all created on PC's and are Office Excel files, WordPerfect files or PDF's. When you look at the files on the Mac from the Mac and bring up Get Info for the affected file, it says that the file has Custom Access. The files that work properly don't have that configuration. I can access and open the files on some computers, but some users can't open the files from their computer even though they can see it. We're all using PC's and they get the Error: Access Denied-Contact your administrator--or something similar. I've seen on the web similar issues and it may have something to do with ACL permissions. I don't know enough about Mac OS to understand this, but what is baffling is that they can be opened from some PC's but not others, and all of the Users have the same accessibility to the files. Thanks for a solution!!

Error message: File can't be opened right now because it's being used by another task, such as moving or copying an item or emptying the Trash. Try again when the current task is complete.

I recently transferred some data from my external hard drive to my desktop, but there was an error transferring some of the files and it couldn't respond, and eventually i simply removed the external hard drive. However, the folder/files are still on my desktop, and when i try to move them or delete them, this error message appears:
“-folder/file name-” can’t be opened right now because it’s being used by another task, such as moving or copying an item or emptying the Trash. Try again when the current task is complete.
Since I removed the external hard drive before the files were finished transferring, there is no way for the current task to be completed. How can I resolve this and delete the folders/files from my desktop?

I just managed to resolve this by going to the apple sign in the top left, choosing force quit (or you could do option+command+esc), then i chose finder, and i clicked relaunch. After relaunching finder, the error message doesn't appear anymore, and I could move these files/folders, and delete them just fine.
Hope this will help other people who encounter similar problems in the future!

Errors during file transfer on WebDav server

(this is a repost from a different category)
I having much difficulty transferring files to and from our new WebDav server when using Finder's Connect to Server. I am able to connect and authenticate just fine. Although, when dragging and dropping to a mounted drive, I receive the following errors, then subsequently dropped from the sever.
...Unexpected Error Occurred - Error code 1407
...cannot comple the operation because some data in "" could not be read or written - Error code 36
...Unexpected Error Occurred - Error code 1407
This seems to be an issue affecting all 10.5 users in our university. PC's and 10.4 do not seem to be having this issue. When using CyberDuck and Goliath, I cannot login to the server whatsoever.
Any thoughts?

These remind me why I like to use ProcMon to correlate and supplement

FWIW I agree that clearing your SoftwareDistribution folder might change this aspect of your symptom description from setupact.log

It is really difficult "reading between the lines" to understand that one but I imagine it would be a lot easier having a ProcMon trace which showed exactly which file was "not found" (and whether it was the same one or a different one each time).

Is there a way to turn off using ram as intermediary when transfering files between 2 internal hdds? (write cache is off on all drives)

right forum? first time here. none of the options seem perfect. so i guess this applies to 'setup.' i tried to describe what's happening verbosely from the start of a file transfer to completion of writing file to 2nd hard drive.
win 7 64bit home - i2600k 3.4ghz - 8gb of ram - 2hdd 1 ssd
I have this problem when transferring files between 2 internal hard drives. one is unhealthy (slow write speeds but not looking for advice to replace it because it serves its unimportant purpose). so, the unhealthy drive drops into PIO mode - that's acceptable.
however, a little over 1gb of any file transfer is cached in RAM during the file transfer. after the file transfer window closes, indicating the transfer is "complete" (HA!), it still has 1gb to write from RAM which takes about 30minutes. This would
not be a problem if it did not also earmark an additional 5gb of ram (never in use), leaving 1gb or less 'free' for programs. this needlessly causes my pc to be sluggish - moreso than a typical file transfer file between 2 healthy drives. i have windows write
caching turned off on all drives. so this is a different setting i can't figure out nor find after 2 hours of google searches.
info from taskmanager and resource monitor.
idle estimates: total 8175, cached 532, available 7218, free 6771 and the graph in taskman shows about 1gb memory in use.
at the start of a file transfer: 8175, 2661, 6070, 4511free and ~2gb of ram used in graph. No problems, yet.
however, as the transfer goes on, the free ram value drops to less than 1gb (1gb normal +1gb temporary transfer cache +5gb of unused earmarked space = ~7gb), cached value increases, but the amount of used ram remains relatively unchanged (2gb
during transfer and slowly drops to idle values as remaining bits are written to the 2nd hard drive). the free value is even slower to return to idle norms after the transfer completes writing data to 2nd hard drive from RAM. so, it's earmarking an addition
5gb of ram that are completely unused during this process. *****This is my problem*****
Is there any way to turn this function off or limit its maximum size. in addition to sluggishness, it poses risk to data integrity from system errors/power loss, and it's difficult to discern the actual time of transfer completion, which makes it difficult
to know when it's safe to shutdown my pc (any data left in ram is lost, and the file transfer is ruined - as of now i have to use resmon and look through what's writing to disk2 -> sometimes easy to forget about it when the transfer window closed 20-30minutes
ago and the file is still in the process of writing to the 2nd disk).
Any solution would be nice, and a little extra info like whether it can be applied to only 1 hard drive would be excellent.

Thanks for the reply.
(Although i have an undergrad degeee in computers, it's been 15years and my vocab is terrible. so, i will try my best. keep an open mind. it's not my occupation, so i rarely have to communicate ideas regarding PCs)
It operates the same way regardless of the write-cache option being enabled. It's not using the 5gb for read/write buffer - it's merely bloating standby memory during the transfer process at a rate similar to the write speed of destination (for my situation).
at this point i don't expect a solution. i've tried to look through lists of known memory leaks but i dont have the vocabulary to be 100% certain this problem is not documented. as of now it can't affect many people - NAS's with low bandwidth networks, usb
attached storage etc. do bugs get forwarded from these forums? below i can outline the consistent and repeatable nature not only on my pc but on others' pcs as well (2012 forum post i found).
I've been testing and paying a little more attention and i can describe it better:
Just the Facts
Resmon Memory Info: "In Use" stays consistent ~1gb (idle amount and roughly the same when nothing else is running during file transfer)
"Modified" contains file transfer
data (meta data?) which remains consistent at little over 1gb (minor fluctuations due to working as a buffer). After the file transfer window closes "Modified" slowly diminishes as it finishes lazy writing (i believe that's the term). I forget idle
pc amount, but after transfer this is ony 58mb)
"Standby" as the transfer starts it immediately rises to ~2gb. I'm sure this initial jump is normal. However, it will bloat well over 5gb over time with a large enough transfer increasing at a consistent rate during the entire transfer
process. the crux of the matter.
"Free" will drop as far as 35-50megabytes over time.
as the transfer starts, the "Standby" increases by an immediate chunk then at a slow rate throughout entire transfer process(~1mb/s). once writing metadata to RAM no longer occurs, the "Modified" ram slowly (@500kb/s matching resmon disk
activity for that file write) diminishes as it finishes lazy writing, After file is 100% written to destination drive, "Standby" remains a bloated figure long after.
a 1.4gb transfer filled 3677MB of "Standby" by the time writing finished and modified ram cleared. after 20minutes, it's still bloated at 3696MB. after 30-40mins it's down to 2300mb - this is about what it jumps immediately to when transfer starts
- it now remains at this level until i reboot.
I notice the "standby" is available to programs. but they do not operate well. e.g. a 480p trailer on IMDB.com will stop-and-go every 2-3seconds (stream buffers fine/fast) - this would be during the worst case scenario of 35-50mb "Free"
ram. my pc isn't and never was the latest and greatest, but choppy video never happens even with 1 or 2 resource hogs running (video processing/encoding, games, etc).
Conjecture Below
i think it's a problem when one device is significantly slower at writing than the source device - this is the factor that i share with others having this problem. when data is written to modified ram then sent to destination, standby memory is expanded
until it completely or nearly fills all available RAM - If the transfer size is large enough relative to how slow the write speed of destination device is. otherwise it fills it up as much as the file size/write speed issue allows. the term "memory leak"
is used below but may not technically be one, but it's an apt description in layman's terms.
i saw a similar post in these forums (link at end). My problem is repeatable and consistent with others' reports. I wasn't sure if i should revive it with a reply. some of these online message boards (maybe not this one) are extremely picky
and sensitive, lol.the world will end if an old thread revives - even if for a good reason.
i can answer some of the ancillary issues. one person (Friday, September 21, 2012 8:33 PM) mentions not being able to shutdown, i asume he means stuck on the shutdown screen - this is because lazy writing has not completed - his nas write speed is significantly
slower than reading from source - the last bits of data left in ram still needs to be writen to the destination. shutdown will stall for as long as needed until the data finishes writing to destination to prevent data loss.
another person (Monday, September 24, 2012 6:31 PM) mentions the rate of the leak, but the rate is more likely a function of read speed from source relative to write speed of destination. which explains why my standby expands closer to a 1:1 ratio compared
to his 1:100 (he said 10mb per 1000mb)
we all have the same exact results/behaviour, but slightly different rates of bloating/leaking. as the file is written from from the ram to the destination, standby increases during this time - not a problem if read and write speeds are roughly equal (unless
your transfering a terabytes then i bet the problem could rear its head). when writing lags, it gives the opportunity for standby ram to bloat with no maximum except the amount of installed ram. slower the write speed, the worse the problem.
The reply on Wednesday, September 26, 2012 3:04 AM has before and after pictures of exactly what i described in
"Just the Facts". Specifically the resmon image showing the Memory Tab.
The kb2647452 hotfix seems to do some weird things relative to this problem. in the posts that mention they've applied it: after file completes it looks like the "standby" bloat is now "in use" bloat. as per info from Tuesday, October
09, 2012 10:36 PM - bobmtl in an earlier post applies the patch. compare images from earlier posts to his post on this date. seems like a worse problem. Also, his process list indicates it's very unlikely they add up to ~4gb as listed in the color coded bar.
wheres the extra gb's coming from? likely the same culprit of what filled up "standby" memory for me and others. it looks like this patch relative to this problem merely recategorizes the bloat - just changes the title it falls under.

I have problems transferring files from PC to Mac and from Mac to Mac

I have problems transferring files from PC to Mac, and from Mac to Mac. PC to PC is fine. Nothing but problems with the Mac. One example:
While working on my PC, I open shared folders on an external HDD connected to the Mac. I click on paste to move the files. I get an error after a few seconds to a minute of trying to move several files from my PC Win 7 to Mac OS Maverick, that there is a file already at the destination on Mac. This statement is true, but it was just put there because I am copying them over in that same action. It reads 0Kb and wasn't there before I started. Then I get an error: The Action Cannot be completed because the folder is open in another program. Close the folder or file and try again..
Whether I click on it a bunch right of way or wait, it still takes about 45 seconds. I have to do it with every file and it only happens when copying from a PC to Mac. I have even restarted both computers so nothing is using any files. If I copy one file at a time, I don't get any error.
So I have one file to move, no problem. If move 5 files, The first will go fine, but it shows all 5 files in folder at once. All other files than the first show 0kb. I get the file already existing error once it starts the second file transfer, and I select move and replace. Then I get The Action Cannot be completed because the folder is open in another program. I wait or click repeatedly until it starts to move file. That file will then show something other than 0kb. When it is done, the error process starts all over. I tried checking the PC with unlocker, but the files do not show themselves locked on the PC.

Its not only French. Even certain characters in English will come across as gobblydegook from 1 platform to another. I see this in emails that likely were composed in Word & the characters don't come across.
Not sure if this is still true, but years ago someone explained that there is a standard character set & then I think its extended characters & those vary from platform to platform or language to language, etc.

The files are pure plain text ?Yes, although I have also tried with various other files which were around - MS Word, PDF.
Do all files fail or just specific files...As far as I can see, all files of the right size.
I am aware of one other outstanding Windows specific
bug, 3703236, which leads to file size truncation.
I've only seen this with Binary documents such as
PDF, ZIP, JPEG, and it is typically only seen with
files over 1MB in size, and typically results in
files that are between 100K and 300K remaining.
Are you running this test on with the database
running on Windows ?, is so what is the server
platform ?.Server 2000, and XP Pro.
What is the size of the file(s) you are
uploading, and what size are they after the upload ?Everything from 1k to 1m, going up in powers of 2. The latest test, with 9.2.0.7 and an updated Windows MSDAIPP.DLL files start to fail at 64K. The failed transferred files are usually around 40K, but the size varies.
>
Do you have proxy servers etc configured in your
Internet Explorer ? Can you disable them and try
again...
Yes. No difference.
Can you open a tar with Oracle Support, upload the
document(s) that are failing, and post the tar number
here.
Tar is 5004416.993

Fed up with Seagate external... (files in use, -43 errors, corrupted files)

Hello everyone...
I wasn't sure where to put this, I hope this is right. I did a search on this but couldn't find anything relating to my problem.
Anyway, I have this 2 year old Seagate FreeAgentDesktop 250GB drive that's been causing me nothing but trouble for most of the time that I've owned it. It was fine for the first few months (HFS+ Journaled reformat), but then it started acting up. File transfers would interrupt at random because the file being transferred was "in use", which it clearly wasn't. It wouldn't unmount anymore because the drive was "in use", even when it clearly wasn't.
The data was very corrupted, opening video files either gave a "-50 error" in quicktime, or it wouldn't open because the file was "in use". I wasn't able to delete files either. Sometimes I got lucky and it would start working again after a restart or after pulling the usb plug.
I got fed up with it and put it in its box.
Now I'm in need of external space again, so I decided to give this drive another try. Verifying and repairing the disk with Disk Utility were both unsuccessful. I ended up reformatting it on a windows machine and then again with Disk Utility in Mac OS Extended. But I'm getting the same exact problems again after moving 2 or 3 files to the disk.
Is this a software problem? Hardware? It's still in warranty but I want to be sure that it's faulty. Is anyone else having these problems?
Here's a list of errors that I'm getting:
- "The operation can’t be completed because the item “-” is in use." upon trying to move a file to the drive.
- "The operation can’t be completed because one or more required items can’t be found.
(Error code -43)" upon trying to delete a file.
- When opening an .avi file, I either get error -50, "file in use" or the file opens with a 00:00:00 duration.
