Extremely slow file transfer from wifi server to MacBook Pro

I am experiencing extremely slow file download speeds from my wifi server to my MacBook Pro. I have just carried out a test - transferring a 16.5Mb folder took 8 mins, 24 secs. Transferring the same folder to my iMac G5 takes less than 3 seconds. Also, copying the same folder from my MacBook Pro to my wifi server only takes 22 seconds. Any suggestions PLEASE!!!!!

Try getting it on the Mac using something other than iPhoto.
In Windows, it would simply be a matter of opening Explorer and copying the file(s). I'm fairly certain that Mac has a similar feature, but I'm not familiar with Macs.
Not really an iPhone issue... more of an issue with the application being used to import the file.

Large file transfer from iPhone 4S to MacBook Pro

Hello,
I have a video that's nearly 10 gigs on my iPhone 4S that I can't get on to my MacBook Pro. I've taken a few videos that are around three to six minutes and haven't had any issues. I get a message telling me, "Error Downloading Image, iPhoto can not import your photos because there was a problem downloading one of your images."
I'm stumped. I really don't want to delete and lose this video, but I can't be having a 10 gig video on my iPhone forever. Can anyone help?
Thanks!

Extremely slow file transfer speed

Hello,
Has anyone else had problems transferring files between computers over a 802.11g network? Recently, I found that transferring files via wireless has become incredibly slow. This morning it took about 10 min to transfer a 25MB file from my MacMini to my MacBook Pro. This was not the case several weeks ago.
In terms of updates, neither have the notorious Airport Extreme 2007-001 update installed. Though, I did have to reinstall OS X on the Mini to roll it back. The MacBook Pro does have the Security Update 2007-001 installed where as the Mini does not.
Specs:
Wireless Router: Linksys WRT54GSv4
MacBookPro - 2GHz Core Duo
MacMini - late 2006 - 1.66GHz Core Duo
Thanks

is there a way to find out why "a file is in use" / what process is using it, and kill that process?
Yes. Launch the Terminal utility and enter this command:
sudo lsof | grep "sometext"
That character after "lsof" is a "vertical bar", which should be on the far right of the row with "P". The first character of "lsof" is a lower-case letter "L". The text "sometext" should be replaced with at least part of the name of the file that seems to be locked. The quotes aren't necessary unless there's a space (or one of a few other odd characters) in the text you put in the command. After you type the text, press <return>. You'll be prompted for your administrative password.
If the culprit turns out to be Finder, try clicking on the Finder icon on the Dock while you hold down an "option" key, then choose "Relaunch".
how can I find out if some process is accessing the Time Capsule hard drive, keeping it busy and making the transfers slow?
That's a little harder. You could launch Activity Monitor and click on the "Network" tab in the lower part of the window. I'd also check the quality of the signal to the Time Capsule
If you have an Apple AirPort base station, I'd use the advice in this thread to investigate the signal and noise levels that each Mac sees, as described in this thread:

Extremely slow file downloads from the 'net (Pavilion G5460uk)

We have an HP Pavilion G5460uk desktop with Windows 7 (64-bit) updated to SP1 and current, and use IE10 and Chrome. Protection is by Norton360 supported with Spywareblaster and Spybot S&D, and also access to Norton 'Eraser', ESET scanner and Sophos virus remover. The PC is ethernet-cabled into the router but with also use other laptops etc wirelessly (all all these are working fine, with the same antivirus setup etc, without the problems we have on the HP desktop).
Performance on the internet seems fine EXCEPT that the desktop is now extremely slow at downloading any files (to the point that it is timed-out on the servers). It is impossible to download anything large onto it directly from the 'net(we are using the other PC's to transfer files) - although MS updates seem to get on OK.
We tried HP 'Support Assistant' which recommends two updates: Ralink Wireless Network Controller (sp58084) & 802.11n WLAN (sp60924) updates. Of course we cannot download these directly but it is unclear whether these are relevant to the problem anyway.
It does not appear to be a network/internet, software currency or virus issue. Some setting somewhere? Please can someone advise on what now needs to be done.
This question was solved.

Matter now resolved! We thought that we had covered everything before bringing it here. But just one dodgy router port connection is all it takes. Thanks for your time.

File transfer from UNIX server to Windows server path

Hello Experts, (Gud Even Gud Aft & Gud Mor)
Is there a way to transfer file from UNIX server(Oracle database), to Windows server? All I know if Windows path. I am able to read the file as it is on server, however it does not recognize Windows directory at all.
If you can share some documents around this to study, I will be grateful.
Regards,

NFS on the Unix server sharing the directory containing the file. FTP server on Unix allowing the file to be read and copied. OpenSSH on the Unix allowing the file to be read and copied via scp (secure copy).
But seeing as this is an Oracle database forum (not an operating system forum), and the subject matter is the database server languages SQL and PL/SQL, here is a PL/SQL solution.
Create a table using the BFILE data type for referencing the files on the Unix o/s. Provide a web enabled procedure for downloading the files via HTTP using a web browser. This procedure will look something as follows:
--// URL example: http://my-server.my-domain.com/MyDAD/MySchemaName.StreamFile?fileID=1234
create or replace procedure StreamFile( fileID number ) AUTHID DEFINER is
        mimeType        varchar2(48);
        fileName        varchar2(400);
        lobContent      BLOB;
begin
        --// read the LOB from a table (this example uses the
        --// Apex file uploads table - change it to your own files table)
        select
                f.filename,
                f.mime_type,
                f.blob_content
                        into
                fileName,
                mimeType,
                lobContent
        from    FLOWS_FILES.WWV_FLOW_FILE_OBJECTS$ f
        where   f.id = fileID;
        --// format a basic HTTP header that describes the file stream send
        OWA_UTIL.mime_header( mimeType, FALSE );        -- e.g. text/csv text/plain text/html image/gif
        HTP.p( 'Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='||fileName );
        HTP.p( 'Content-Length: ' || DBMS_LOB.GetLength(lobContent) );
        OWA_UTIL.http_header_close;
        --// now write the BLOB as a mime stream using the Web Procedural Gateway's
        --// doc load API
        WPG_DOCLOAD.download_file( lobContent );
exception when OTHERS then
        --// Decide what HTML to generate (if at all) if there is a failure
        --// (usually not a good idea to show database errors to the
        --// web browser client as that can provide technical details
        --// that could be useful for exploiting the database)
        HTP.prn( 'StreamFile() failed with '||SQLERRM(SQLCODE) );
end;
/ On Windows, IE can be used interactively to copy the file across. For automation (via PowerShell or console jobs), use a command like tool like wget* to download the file.
If you do not want to use SQL or PL/SQL as the file copy mechanism, then please close this thread (mark as answered) and take your question to an appropriate forum.

You need to configure folder redirection.
Folder redirection enables access local folders during the remote session. Click the + button at the bottom of the dialog and choose a folder you want to have
redirected.
Configure Folder Redirection:
1. Click the + button.
2. In the Add Local Folder window, enter the following information:
l
Name: Set a name for the folder to be available during the remote session.
l
Path: Select the path to the folder to be available during the remote session.
3. Click the close button to save the remote desktop.

Lenovo Thinkpad X1 - Extremly slow file transfer through e-sata

Hi there! I have got another issue with my notebook - the file transfer through e-sata is extremly slow (about 5MBpS). Using Windows 7. Where could be the problem? Thanks.

Hi Gabbi,
thanks for posting. You might want to check in your control panel which Lenovo preloaded software are installed. One software which I've seem has caused this issue is the Lenovo Rapid Shield and and Lenovo Airbag Protection.
Could you try disabling them and check for the changes.
do let me know..

Slow file transfer from pc to mac

I've got two windows xp home pcs and two macs (a mac mini and an ibook). The windows PCs are connected to the wired network and both macs are wireless.
When I try to initiate a file transfer on either pc to either mac, the file transfer is really slow (slower than I think it should be). It's very annoying.
Does anyone have any idea what causes this and how to fix it? Thanks.

I've got some more information: when Windows NT initiates a file transfer to the mac using windows file sharing, the transfer speed is fast. It's XP that has the problem. Is this a windows XP problem or a Mac OS X problem? Last time I checked, the macs were both able to communicate with each other just fine.
Ok, here's the transfer speeds approx: a 100mb file is normally quickly transferred in about a minute. When the windows xp machine tries to send to the mac, the transfer will take many times longer to complete.
Can anyone help with this problem? Anyone at all? Please? I'm annoyed about this issue.
So, what's the fix? Please. Thanks.

Extremely slow file copy from USB 3 external Seagate on MacBook

I copied my iPhoto file of 20GB onto a new Seagate USB external drive from my 2011 MacBook in about 20 minutes over USB 2.0. I am copying up the same file from the same drive on my newer 2012 MacBook pro and it is taking 7 hours. The newer MacBook has a 750GB SATA SSD and is equipped with USB 3.0. Why would it take so much longer to copy from the drive to the newer Mac using a faster USB spec?

Well, I solved this myself with some searching on other threads. I turned off Spotlight indexing on the drive, and killed the copy job, disconnected and reconnected the drive, and the copy is now going quite fast. Will be done in lest than 5 minutes.
System Preferences> Spotlight>Privacy> Press the + and added the external drive.
Apparently, this is the default behavior of Spotlight, and the indexing was causing the bottleneck.

Data transfer from G4 cube to MacBook Pro w/ Snow Leopard

Hi,
I just purchased a MacBook Pro Friday and was able to successfully transfer my data from my Cube (OS 10.4.11) via Migration Assistant after the second attempt. Unfortunately, this MacBook encountered constant Prohibitive Screen errors even after re-installing Leopard OS requiring me to exchange it. Now with the second new MBP, I can get the firewire connection established w/ Cube HD mounting but the MBP just spins as it tries to get to the next window (selecting the data to transfer over.) The first time I tried it w/ the second MBP, I got a message that there was no OS on the cube. The cube works perfectly fine. The multiple later attempts - nothing but a spinning circle. (P.S. Mac already shipped off the first MBP to be reset so that's not an option to retrieve the data from.)
I looked into transfering via ethernet but I do not have the install DVD that is required for it (unless I'm mis-reading it.) Any suggestions? From reading the other queries, users seem to have issues getting the connection established. I am able to do so and was able to transfer the data once before, but now nothing.
I'm completely clueless re: the other suggestions of creating networks, encasing the HD, etc.
If all else fails, what can I do w/ my Cube? I don't want to sell it and ideally would like to use it as a separate drive.
Thanks,
Christina

One of the bigger problems with migrating from PowerPC to Intel is not the operating system, but the chip. Migration Assistant has been known to fail for unknown reasons when moving between the Mac platforms. Instead, this user tip has been recommended to avoid such issues:

Transfer from IP4 to new MacBook Pro

How do I transfer all my apps & contacts from iphone 4 to a new MacBook Pro?

As roaming gnome noted, to copy iTunes , simply copy the entire iTunes folder.
Just backup your iPhone to the new computer (after you copy the iTunes folder).

Transfer from hard drive to macbook pro

how does one transfer the data from my USB Konig Hdd External box to my Macbook pro.. i couldn't do it at the startup of the computer it wasn't able to find the disc at the time.. i know fosure there is info on the disc and that it has been formatted for Mac use...

does the external drive require a power supply?
You can check to see if the mac sees the external hard drive by opening the application "/Applications/Utilities/System Information"
click the section "Hardware > USB" then see if you see the external device in the list. if you don't then there is a hardware problem. If you do see the device then there may be a driver problem-- I don't have the enclosure you have so I connected a Flash drive.
Also try launching the application "/Applications/Utilities/Disk Utiltity" and see if the external device shows up in the list.

It's a program that transfers music from iPod to iTunes on a Mac.
There's also a similar program called Yamipod which has a Mac version.
I've used both these on a Mac with great success.

Extremely slow download speeds and internet browsing on Macbook pro

I recently got a 13"" macbook pro. System config - Maverick OS/i7 dual core/8GB RAM/750 GB HDD, Almost 690GB of free space available. I am expriencing extremely slow download and internet browsing speed. I have to wait for almost 10-12 seconds for normal sites to download. The app updates and downloads are painstakingly slow.
The internet speeds are working perfectly fine on my Windows Laptop, and even on my mobile phones. So, the there's no issue of network. Also, I have cleared safari cache etc, just to be sure. But nothing's really helping.
Can any one help me here.
Thanks !
Chetan

Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them. In that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
Have you restarted your router and your broadband device (if they're separate) since you first noticed the problem? If the answer is no, do that now and see whether there's any change.
Quit and relaunch the browser. Any change?
Log out and log back in. Any change?
Enable Private Browsing in the Safari menu. Any change?
Are any other web browsers installed, and are they the same? What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
If other browsers and Internet applications are also affected, follow these instructions and test. Any change?
If only Safari is affected, launch the Activity Monitor application and enter "web" (without the quotes) in the search box. If a process named "Safari Web Content" is shown in red or is using more than about 5% of a CPU, select it and force it to quit by clicking the X or Quit Process button in the toolbar of the window. There may be more than one such process. Any improvement?
Again, if only Safari is involved, open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the box marked Safari, if it's checked. Any change?
Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they affected?
If you can test Safari on another network, is it the same there?
If you connect to your router with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?
