Error when copying files to NAS

Since upgrading to Mavericks, I frequently get errors in the Finder when copying files to my NAS.
This never happened under Mountain Lion. The error says "The operation can’t be completed because the item “filename” is in use."
Most of the time, it does copy over after several attempts. I'd like to know if there is a fix for this, or an update in the works.
I'm currently on 10.9.
Thanks!

...Just FYI my problem occured even though I had updated to 10.9.2.
Through trial and error I eventually got my files copied. I detailed what I ended up doing in my post which I referred to above: ( https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5944278 )

External Hard drive getting errors when copying files?

When I'm copying files to my hard drive I keep getting errors that the file is in use. It was originally stopping at around the 167.8MB mark everytime when I try copying files over and giving me that error. As this is a 1TB HDD I have no way of backing it up until I get to the US (currently studying in Australia). So just wondering if anyone had ideas.
Things I've done:
- Tried using HDD over Firewire/USB and with other Macs still same errors
- Tried Disk Utility and sometimes it I get no errors with the disk when I do Repair/Verify Disk or I get an error where the disk can't be unmounted
- I get that error of unmounting when I normally unmount them and I have to unplug the HDD for it to be readable again.
- I try copying files from it or to it, and sometimes files copy to my Computer entirely even 2GB ones, but other times it stops at random intervals, and it always stops when copying files to the HDD that never works, usually stops at random times. :\
Any suggestions, help, or programs I can use for HDD repair would be great!
Thanks a lot,

Wondering if I could bump this up a bit, still having problems with it.

Error when copying files from SSD to HD

Build 9926 (clean install not upgrade)
When copying file (drag & drop) from either an SSD>> HD or HD>>SSD I get the below error. This is definetly build specific and not hardware related. I have re-installed 9926 from an MSDN ISO 3x with the same results.
Both drives are local. Both drives have been checked and are ok.
Any ideas?

Strange problem when copying files to NAS

Hello all. I have a strange problem when trying to copy files from my intel iMac to my Seagate NAS. I am copying files from my HD and when the file is nearly copyied i get an error message saying that the file can't be copied because it is already in use by another application. Well... it surely isn't. I try copying them by ftp (Filezilla) and everything works fine. I can then access them through my media server but !!!! NOT THROUGH MY iMac!!!! It is like the files are not there!!!! But they definetely are! I tried fixing the disk permissions, rebooting NAS, iMac etc but nothing seems to solve the problem. Is there any suggestion of what might be wrong? I am under Mavericks and i am pretty sure that the problem started after the update. When copying from my external USB hard drive to my iMac HD everything works fine. The problem is from my iMac to my NAS.

Previleges error while copying files to NAS

Hi.
I am a new MacBook user.
Yesterday I tried to use my D-Link NAS (Model: DNS-313) to store some files I had on my MacBook.
The NAS has been working without any problems in Windows XP for some time.
Yesterday was the first time I used it to store files from my MacBook.
I login in with read/write permissions but when I try to copy a 10MB file to a share ( smb://nas/Volume_1/Files ) I receive the following error: "The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges or some of the items."
I first created the folder named "Files" and it gave me no error message, so it's not a permissions issue. This happened with other files as well.
I then tried to connect to the Nas via ftp (using third party software,) and I was able to copy the file to the exact same folder and using the same credentials.
Am I doing something wrond?
Thank you in advance.

Status update on this problem:
Yesterday I received my update CD to Snow Leopard. I installed it but I am still unable to copy files to my NAS. But now, the error message has changed to:
"The Finder can't complete the operation because some data in "<<the name of the folder being copied>>" can't be read or written (Error code -36)"

Error when copying files using WebDav web folder

When copying a large group of files/folder to a 10gAS portal page we are randomly seeing the error: "An error occurred while copying some or all of the selected files" in Windows Explorer. Clicking "ok" will resume the file copy process.
The only error I see in the Apache log is:
[Mon Aug 2 18:00:06 2004] [error] OraDAV: Apache/OCI Error -9999/0: ORADAV: LOB was closed with active write operation
Any suggestions? I couldn't find anything on metalink, though i have logged an iTAR as well.

My AirPort Extreme card was replaced on my MacBook by Apple. Prior to this, I was getting odd errors like the one outlined above. I do not receive this issue anymore, and I think I can attribute it to the hardware issue with the card.

-36 error when copying files

I'm trying to copy files to an OSX server (v.10.4.11) and often get -36 errors. What does this code mean and how can I solve this issue?
I tried copying from Windows and other 10.4 computers and it seems to work, but when I copy from OS10.5 clients, I always get this error message.
Is there a list of error codes I can find somewhere in the support section? I find this rather cryptic for an OS known for its user friendliness.

Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command). Rebuild it to the Pictures Folder. This might overcome the -36 issue.
(This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.)
Failing that you're into recovering your Originals from the damaged Library and creating a new Library and starting over from scratch.

Time Capsule: "Network name no longer available" error when copying files

Hi!
I've come upon this error when trying to copy files from my PC to Time Capsule:
"Network name no longer available".
This seems to happen only on folders that have image sequences in them (.sgi image sequences).
I was planning on transferring the content of my PCs hard drive to Time-Machine in order to smooth out the migration from my old PC to my new MBP but I have to say that I'm a little less confident about using TC as a storage space for my valuable files.
Is there a work around for this? I have tons of folders with .sgi image sequences and it would be a real shame not to be able to transfer them to Time Capsule.
Please help!

Hi… I don’t think there should be any such limitation for the file transfer wirelessly. However it can be issue, as you wired is connect at a speed of 100 Mbps and wireless connects to the max at 54 Mbps. Try to upgrade the firmware. Also try reducing Fragmentation Threshold and RTS threshold by 40 each under advance wireless settings on the router. Go to www.speedguide.net, and download the TCP optimizer. Try reducing the MTU of your wireless adapter. Please Revert Back, even if this resolves your issue.

Permission Error when copy files into cmsdk using NFS with non admin user

Hi All,
We are using CMSDK with NFS protocol and we have created different users with ACL to control different access for users.
When we copy files into cmsdk folders using one of the admin user this works fine, even a multiple copy works fine. But when we use any non admin user , some time copy commands works but some time it throw a permission deny error. and this is happening very intermittently.
when we use ftp protocol and ftp file it's all works fine for the both admin & non admin user. Is there any limitation in using CMSDK NFS protocol
Did any one encouter any similar issue. Any pointers would be of great help.
Thanks in advance

Time Capsule - Network Error when copying files

Hi
I'm trying to copy files over to my Time Capsule, the drive is recognised and I can access it, and create folders inside it, but as soon as I start copying files, it tries to copy and sometimes copies 1 or 2 files and then an error message pops up saying
'Network Error
There is a problem accessing Z:\Backup'
where Backup is the folder I'm trying to transfer and Z:\ is the TC drive.
Please can someone help?
Thanks

Hi
I have solved this by rolling back firmware to 7.3.2 Looks like anything later, and I get this problem.........hope Apple fixes this.

Errors when copying files to external HDs

I'm going to try to make this as uncomplicated as possible, so please bear with me.
I have two WD Elements external HDs. I use a Belkin powered 2-port USB hub to connect them to my Airport Extreme (used as a server). I started out with one of them, a 1.5 TB, and purchased the second one when the first started to get really full. I use them exclusively for storing music files. My plan was to move files from the nearly full drive to the new one. I began moving files, folder by folder (a painstaking and time-consuming process) from the one drive to the other.
The first problem that popped up was this: in the process of copying a folder to the new drive, an error message appeared saying that the "operation could not be completed because you do not have access to some of the items." I in fact have full custom access to both drives, and am the only one who uses them. Another message I would sometimes get would be, "[file name] could not be moved because its name contains too many characters."
I found this annoying but bearable until it started happening more frequently. What's more, when a folder failed to copy completely, that would leave me with an identically named but incomplete folder in the second location. An attempt to delete it would be met by another error message, "[folder name] could not be deleted because [folder or file name] is in use.
I hope this is all clear enough. Any help would be appreciated.

Simplify the system. You have a lot of components right now and it is hard to know where the error lies. If this is a one-time major transfer of files personally I could connect them directly to the computer, get it done, then reconnect to the spaghetti of wi-fi, hubs, etc..
What format drives? Are you really running a server with intervening firmware or software, or are these simply external drives?

Error when copying files

When I try to copy one of my pictures to a folder i get this error message
http://static.flickr.com/33/44555036fd4aae9090o.png
I can copy the picture any where else on the computer and I can also copy any file but that picture to the folder I am trying to put it in. Anyone have any clue how to fix this?

Open it in the creating program and save it as a new file somewhere else (don't just save it in the same place with the same name).

Error when copying files into iTunes

Been trying to copy some video files into iTunes. I have my iTunes library on an external hard drive. Haven't had any problems with this until today when I try copying videos into iTunes it pops up with an error saying:
"Attempting to copy to the disk "OneTouch4" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to."
I have had no problems with this before. I am running the latest version of iTunes. Any ideas?

Hi.
Tried both suggestions that have been made but the video files will still not copy into iTunes. Interestingly, when I copy podcast files into iTunes it works ok but when I tried the video files again they still get the same error.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Error when copying files to iTunes

I recently ripped a few TV show seasons on to my Macbook but had to convert them because they weren't compatible with iTunes. The conversion went fine, all the files were perfect and worked when opened in Quicktime. I have iTunes running on an external hard drive. When I tried copying the first season of the show, iTunes returned with an error saying "Attempting to copy to "My iTunes Library" (my external hard drive) failed. The disk could not be read from or written." Then I tried copying the second and third seasons and they both worked, and are now in my iTunes library. But for some reason i cannot copy the first season. It always comes back with the error message. I checked my external hard drive, it has enough space, and is functioning properly. I haven't had problems with running iTunes on an external hard drive before. Any suggestions or solutions?
