File transfer extremely slow in wireless or ethernet.

Does any anyone know how to improve??

How is the TC connected to the main router? Is it the main router?
Descirbe the whole network and how the TC fits in.
Do not test with both wireless and ethernet at the same time.
Test from up close.
Test using 5ghz for wireless within the same room.
Give us numbers.. we cannot work with slow.. sorry but the issue can be your expections as much as the network.
Is it slow copying files to the TC pick a single large file and try. Or to another computer on the network??
Is it just internet?
More info required.

  • File transfer EXTREMELY slow over wireless connection

    Hi there,
    I have recently been transfering some files from my TiVo to my iMac via a wireless connection. I don't know if the files are going through my router first, and then coming to my iMac or what, but the transfer rate is really slow; about 50 - 100 KBps. That's Bytes, not bits. I know that 802.11g is 54 mbps, which translates to about 7 MBps, but I'm getting about 1/70th that speed.
    I recently moved my computer to a part of my house that has better wireless reception. I have an AirPort extreme card that is 802.11g compatible, an 802.11g Linksys wireless router, and a D-Link 802.11g wireless USB adapter hooked up to my TiVo. 2 dashboard widgets that I have tell me that the connection strength to my iMac is excellent (>75%), and that the speed is full (54 mbps). My iMac discovered the TiVo with the "Bonjour" technology built into Mac OS X. It doesn't make any sense to me. Even if the files are going through the router, everything is operating at 7 MBps, so why am i getting 50-100 MBps? Any help is appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Trevor

    Here's what I did:
    I moved my computer to a place where I could connect to my wireless router through an ethernet cable. I tried to transfer files from the TiVo again using the same application, and the download speed was no faster. I tried having both Airport and Ethernet on, and it was slower. I tried just Airport, and it was no faster than before. So I found a new way to download the shows using Safari and Bonjour. I tried, and it was downloading at (according to the downloads window)... 0B/s. I thought "Great". I can't even download it at all this way. So in desparation, I moved my computer right next to the USB device that the signal is coming from, and I get the same download speeds using the application. I try with Safari, and this time it actually starts downloading faster than 0B/s. The top speed I've seen it at is what it's hovering at right now: 129 KB/s. Now here comes the interesting part:
    My internet connection (loading webpages with Safari) was lightning quick everywhere my computer was. That indicates that the issue is with the USB device on the TiVo, and not my router or mac. I looked for an ethernet pot in the back of my TiVo, but I could not find one. I found a phone jack (for connecting to the TiVo service via the phone), and my iMac has a phone jack too, but then I realized that the application I was using and Safari needed to use either the Ethernet port, or AirPort, so that wouldn't have worked. I guess that the TiVo cannot process and export the info at faster than 100-150 KBps. Oh well.

  • Local file transfer speed slow on E1200

    On a local file transfer (computer to NAS or NAS to computer) my file transfer speed with the E1200 is way too slow. I would expect the Wireless N speed to be at least 54mbps (megabits per second), which would be equivalent to 9 MegaBytes per second.
    In practice the speed of transfer appears to be at 8mbps (1 MegaByte per second). Here is a screen shot:
    The speed is the same whether I copy from the computer (on a wireless N link) to the NAS, or from the NAS (on a 100Mbit ethernet port on the E1200) to the computer.  The NAS is brand new, auto configured to a RAID-1 setup with two new drives.
    Anyone know why this is?  is the encryption (WPA2-PSK/AES) slowing down the transfer? The same problem occurred with copying a folder of photos as with copying this large file.  I don't think I can upgrade the firmware on my device, as I have the first version of the E1200.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Sabretooth --
       There is no option to set the Qos to zero.  I can set it to "auto" in which case the number has no effect.
       I could set it to manual but it restricts me to a range as you can see from the graphic.
       In case you are wondering, my internet speed is 10Mbps downstream, 5Mbps upstream.  So I am getting the same speed for the internet that I am getting for a local transfer.
       The next troubleshooting step is to bypass the wireless and hook my PC to the router.  I will let you know if that makes a difference.

  • Why is my file transfer so slow?

    I got a Time Capsule for Christmas and am hoping to use it as a backup drive but also storage facility.
    I understand it can take some time to back up the initial disk (I've only had my Macbook since October) but 72GBs taking 24 hours and stalling at 5 seconds remaining is unusual isn't it?
    I also tried copying a folder the size of 8GB to the drive and it said it would take 2 hours to do this! Is there a common problem with the transfer rate?
    And are there any fixes?
    Colm

    You are using wireless I presume. Wireless is a shared media and transfer speed on wireless whilst absolutely fine for internet is going to slow things right down to move large files. The basic recommendation is to do the first backup over ethernet and then use wireless for the incremental backup.. anytime you need to move large files or directories then cable it.
    8GB in 2 hours is slow.. but the estimation is made at the point the wireless maybe busy. And those estimations are not accurate at all.
    Try and get the your Macbook close to the TC and check the link speed. You can see it by holding the options key and clicking the airport icon... at least you can in SL .. Lion not sure.
    You want it using 5ghz as the TC is slow in 2.4ghz and range is poor at 5ghz.
    IMHO it is better to force the wireless yourself to 5ghz by using different network names. But Apple designed it to automagically swap to the fastest link.. the trouble is, links tend not to be dropped during a file transfer.
    stalling at 5 seconds remaining is unusual isn't it?
    Not for wireless it isn't.

  • Data transfer extremely slow

    My wifi network seems to be very slow in transferring data - Airplay on ATV or file exchange between macs is extremely slow. Playing Airplay video from iOS to ATV is worse than watching Youtube. My internal network appears slower than my internet connection.
    Any suggestion on what I should check or reset? Thanks
    It is a provider's Huawei modem and an Airport Extreme router, distance few meters. I will not wire devices:)

    Please also note that using a "speed test service" like speedtest.net or other is a measurement of your WAN link, ie from your router's WAN interface to the specified test location. This is not a measurement of throughput to your "client device".  These results would be the same between your wireless client connected at a poor 1Mbps speed and your 1Gbps wired desktop.  Do not use these types of services as a measurement of throughput of your internal infrastructure.
    Keep in mind file transfers in windows (like copy and paste to a file share) utilizes Microsoft's SMB/SMB2 protocol which is very chatty and very inneficient.  This is not a good throughput test.  Utilizing a pure TCP transfer method, like FTP, would give more realistic results.  Even better would be to utilize an application like iPerf to perform pure tcp/udp throughput testing.
    Also, Microsoft tends to display transfers in terms of MegaBytes, rather than MegaBits.  Your 100Mbps (megabit) internet would provide a potential throughput of 12.5 MegaBytes.  The same as on your LAN.  When you're copying a file to a share and it's going at 2megaBytes per second, this is actually 16 megabits per second.  So, your client connected at 54Mbps, half-duplex, realizing a throughput of probably around 20-25mbps is actually doing pretty good to get 2-3 megabytes of transfer speed using SMB file transfers.
    Unless you have true tcp throughput tests prior to changes and after changes, the data you have provided thus far is not indicative of poor performance.

  • Tiger Updates Have Broken Airport Appleshare File Transfer, Horribly Slow

    Big horrible slowdowns in file transfer over wireless have me pulling my (remaining) hair out. I have seen several other posts and here are results of what I found. Hope you can add some suggestions.
    I had given my Apple Airport base station (b) to my brother in Pakistan after I found a Belkin (g) at Staples for free (after rebates) and have been using it for a while (maybe almost 2 years). Not a pretty box but the price is beautiful and it works OK.
    My real use for it is for my eMac and a couple of older PowerBooks I keep downstaors as a "music studio" for my music and podcast recording (and transferring upstairs to my server folder over wireless) and web browsing.
    All worked OK as I would transfer the files to my PowerBook upstairs (connected Ethernet to a router connected to the wireless router or sometimes directly via Airport connection if laptop was not at my desk). Both configurations worked fine (only limitation being my eMac's (b) speed older Airport speed).
    Since 10.4.4 or 10.4.5 (as that is the last "change" I can see made on my system overall, I have discpovered I cannot even transfer a 3.5 MB file from the 10.4.5 eMac to ANY of the other machines.
    After reading several threads here it seems several people have noticed the HORRIBLE SLOWDOWN if not complete death of Airport usability for file transfer. People are being made to go around changing router settings, channel IDs etc. That sounds like typical tech support bunk to me.
    After all, if the channel ID on the wireless router is a problem why is my web browing going on at normal speed but a 120 MB file transfer just told me it will take 2023642128 hours. No, I am not kidding. That is the time it would take to get man to Mars.
    Someone else was told to hook up the machines over Ethernet. Sure, that works for machines in the same room - and is a bearable temporary solution in that case - but not in an upstairs/downstairs situation. Burning CD-Rs to transfer 120 MB files every time is also not a good way to show off Apple technology.
    So, in my humble opinion, some recent update from Apple just broke something in Airport networking or Appleshare. So, I did some more testing.
    I love Apple, getting friends to switch all the time, but annoyed at these bugs that basically render standard applications unusable. So far I have not been able to figure out what the problem is. Here is some more info I got.
    I already deleted all the network port configurations on the 10.4.5 eMac except wireless. Activity Monitor shows 0.1 to 11 kbps speed (yes, that is 0.1 to 11 Kbps not Mbps). No other apps are running, Tried connecting to different machines. All machines can transfer data at high speed except over Airport/wireless.
    I then fired up a PowerBook G3 500 10.3.9. It is slow as a machine, but it has no problems picking and dropping files on to other machines over Airport (it is sitting in the same area as the emac so signal etc. issues would effect them equally).
    Next I came upstairs and changed my 10.4.5 PowerBook G4, previously working perfectly on Ethernet,to Airport only use. Lo and behold, it could not go to the Internet nor could it do any AppleShare transfers even with a PowerMac G4 which is Ethernet only.
    There could still be two culprits, the Apple 10.4.5 update OR maybe the wireless router went bad. So I tried all of the above after changing channels on the Belkin router. Still no luck.
    It could still be the router, so:
    - I changed the HP 17" 8080 laptop from Ethernet to wireless only and it flies.
    - I switched the PowerBook G4 BACK to Ethernet and it flies.
    - I kept the PC laptop on WIRELESS and did file transfers from it to the now ETHERNET using PowerBook G4 and it works fine even PowerBook to PC and PowerBook to PowerMac both using Ethernet and 10.4.5 works fine too.
    - I now tried to get or put files from the 10.4.5 ETHERNET PowerBook G4 to PowerBook G3 10.3.9 WIRELESS and it worked fine. i.e. no problems with older OS one using wireless.
    - Then I tried 10.4.5 PowerBook G4 Ethernet to eMac wireless 10.4.5 and it would not take or drop a file, unless I was willing to wait for 3 years and 2 months.
    In other words - the ONLY common thread is that 10.4.5 with wireless/Airport use will break Appleshare file transfers.
    Obviously some planetary confluence did not suddenly corrupt all the settings in all my computers at the same as many others, who also happen to be using 10.4.5 or maybe 10.4.4 because the 10.3.9 using OLD PowerBook with 512 MB RAM does wireless file transfers faster than the 10 times faster Macs using Apple's own cards and newest software.
    Seems like a now-becoming-usual Apple update that breaks things.
    Hope you can suggest a solution so I do not have to burn CDs on the eMac for every 1 MB file I need to transfer upstairs.

    Mac OS X 10.4.5 (#9): Another fix for network slowness -- re-applying the combo updater; SIIG FireWire card not working; more
    Another fix for network slowness -- re-applying the combo updater Over the past few days we've outlined a number of fixes for network slowness that occurs after the update to Mac OS X 10.4.5, including entry of a DNS address, toggling of IPv6 and more.
    We've now received notes indicating that a tried and true workaround for various issues -- re-applying the Mac OS X 10.4.5 combo updater (as noted in our general workarounds for 10.4.5) -- can have beneficial effects in this case as well.
    MacFixIt reader Fred Moore writes:
    "After much thrashing about and wasted time, I appear to have solved both the slow web page loading as well as my email sending problems in one stroke. Guess how: download the Mac OS X 10.4.5 combo updater and reapply it. This nonsense has cost me a lot of time but everything seems to work now. IPv6 is set back to Automatic, there is no entry in the Network prefs DNS server field, and my email sending works perfectly (so far; I've sent a bunch of tests). Why didn't I just download the combo updater and apply from my hard drive at the beginning? Well, Software Update should (yes, I know, I know...) work. I'll never again use Software Update for a system update."

  • Windows 8.1 Pro File Explorer Extremely Slow

    Hello,
    I am using Windows 8.1 Professional, and since a short time, I am having troubles with the file explorer.
    It is extremely slow. When I just want to select a file, it takes about 10 seconds, if not more, and then any operation I perform on files (opening directories, renaming files, right-clicking for options, etc.) is terribly slow.
    I have looked at the indexing options and tried to minimize the areas that are indexed, but to no avail. Even with only C:/Users indexed, I have about 500,000 items indexed.
    Here are my PC specifications:
    1. 32 GB of RAM
    2. Intel core i7 3.50 GHz with 4 cores
    3. 240 GB SSD in RAID + 3 TB Western Digital Black Edition in RAID
    Do you have any ideas on how I could solve this? Also, I would like not having to clean-install my PC.
    Regards,
    Jeremie

    AMS-DIS, perhaps you're talking about a different level of problem than the person who started this thread.
    Just because you've seen it personally doesn't make it automatically a systemic Microsoft problem.  While I don't disagree that Explorer could be better programmed, there ARE those of us who don't see regular crashes, freezes, or particularly slow operation.
    Keeping in mind that external drives have to spin up, and that can be perceived as taking some time when you access the drive in Explorer, once spun up you shouldn't be seeing noticeable delay.
    If you are, please quantify what you're seeing with some specifics.
    Here's what I see:
    When I first navigate to my spun-down MyBook external USB drive I see the contents of the root folder instantly.
    When I navigate a level or two into the folder structure I see a few second delay when it gets deep enough that the data is not cached and the drive has to spin up to get it.
    Then, once spun up, when I navigate into any folder its contents show up instantly.
    When I copy a file by dragging to/from the drive or do a backup to the drive I see a substantial percentage of the theoretical maximum transfer speed (I have USB2).
    If you are not seeing performance similar to the above then you have something out of the ordinary set up on your particular system that's causing it.  You should never be seeing crashes.  I don't.
    Now, that being said, when transferring multiple files / folders, I *do* see a fair bit of slowdown in transfer rate, implying something's being throttled back by Explorer or there's way too much end to end communication, even between SSDs.
    I've wondered whether Explorer is slowing things down just so you can see them happen in its progress dialog.    Windows XP used to be faster at copying big blocks of multiple files even 13 years ago.

  • What file transfer speeds are possible over Gigabit Ethernet - Hatter?

    Thanks in advance for taking the time to consider this.
    Our still photgraphic studio has a range of MACs all connected via a gigabit D-Link switch to a series of Buffalo NAS raids. Wiring is CAT5e, all devices have gigabit ethernet cards and the link lights on the switch suggest that all devices are connected at that speed.
    We currently get file transfer rates of between 5 and 12 MB/s depending on network traffic.
    We would like to upgrade our NAS to a NAS/SAN, preferably using the existing wiring (and avoid the expense of Fibrenet). 50 or 60MB/s would be great if possible.
    Any ideas for a suitable archtecture and Hardware would be gratefully received. Cable lengths are a maximum of 30 metres.
    Paul

    I'm getting sustained speeds of 90-100 megabytes/second on a transfer across GigE from one mac to another, both working on high-capacity SATA drives.
    It drops to ~65 megabytes per second if the source drive is my 2TB Firewire 800 external.
    both rates are right on the real-world maximum for GigE and FW800 respectively, which is a great sign that nothing else is bottlenecking the transfer.
    My experience with NAS boxes has been disappointing in the past, with transfer rates of 5-35 MB/sec - painfully slow for large files, which destroys the purpose of NAS for me, which is reasonably high-speed off-computer storage.
    I'm MUCH happier, and didn't have to pay very much to set up a Mac with 4 SATA drives onboard, acting as a file server... I'm actually getting files FASTER than I am from a FW800 drive directly attached now.

  • File display extremely slow with call of OLE_FLUSH_CALL standard function

    Hi,
    We are running SAP R/3 Enterprise 640 with Doculink extension.
    When trying to display PDF files stored in an SAP Archive Server, it takes quiet a while to retreive the document, while displaying it through a web browser is very fast.
    I have made a some performances tests in ST05, and the results clearly shows that the ABAP execution time takes most of the process time. When digging deeper into which function takes so many time, I can see that the standard program SAPLOLEA takes a long while on a wait for RFC call. And then when I display the source code responsible for this call, I see that the OLE_FLUSH_CALL call takes the most time.
    I have tried to look around in SAP Notes but didn't find any relevant information regarding this problem. I wondered if I would be able to find more interesting opinions on SDN.
    Thanks in advance for your help,
    Thibault

    Query returns anywhere from 6000 to 32000 rows. For each of those rows a parameter is passed in to 4 different functions to get ytd totals. When I call the functions in the in-line view but do not select from them in the main SQL, the report (oh, this is Application Express 4.0 interactive reports, just an FYI) runs fast. The report comes back in a few seconds. But when I select from the in-line view to display those ytd totals, the report runs extremely slow. I know there are the articles about context switching and how mixing SQL with PL/SQL performs poorly. So I tried a pipeline table function where the function for the ytd totals populate the columns of the pipeline table and I select from the pipeline table in the SQL query in the interactive report. That seemed to perform a little worse from what I can tell.
    Thanks for any help you can offer.

  • Windows 7 network file transfer absurdly slow

    I know there are plenty of other posts about slow network file transfer. Here, elsewhere, I can't say I read them all but most are referring to slow down to 1MB/s.
    I am getting <20KB/s.
    If I transfer a very small file (less than 100KB) it would start quickly then slow down to <20KB/s. all subsequently network file transfer would be slow, a reboot is needed to reset this. If I transfer a large file it would be stuck on calculating for
    a long time and then begin with <20KB/s immediately.
    This is a fairly newly built desktop. Realtek gigabit on-board LAN of ASRock Extreme3 gen3. I have tested network file transfer to and from a Windows 7 laptop and a MacBook Pro, so I am fairly certain it is the desktop's problem. The slow speed only happens
    with one direction, outbound from the desktop, regardless of whether I initiate the file transfer action from the origin or the destination. Inbound network file transfer and internet speeds are fine, so I don't think this is a hardware issue.
    Remote Differential Compression is off. Drivers are up-to-date from ASRock's website. I am getting 74.8MB/s internet upload speed from speedtest.net (http://www.speedtest.net/result/1852752479.png). Inbound network file transfer I can get around 10-15MB/s.
    I looked everywhere and can't find symptoms that fits my case well. I'd be cheering if I can get 1MB/s. Well, maybe not, but at this point it is more efficient for me to upload everything to the Internet and download them again than to use local file transfer,
    which is just absurd.
    I am hoping this community has some insight for me to troubleshoot this. I don't see anything obviously related from the Event Viewer, and beyond that I just don't know where else to look.
    Any suggestions are greatly appreciated, thank you in advance.

    Hi,
    Firstly, would you please try again to install the HotFix instead of disabling TCPAuto-Tuning and Windows Scaling heuristics via netsh manually.
    If issue persists, please try following:
    1. Test the issue in Safe Mode with Networking.
    2. Disable "Large Send Offload".
    How to:
    1) Open an elevated command prompt and press Enter:
    netsh int ip set global taskoffload=disabled.
    2) Disable and re-enable the network interface or reboot your system. 
    3) Run the following command in an elevated command prompt to confirm the command above is successful:
    netsh int ip show offload
    3. Check the value of “Speed & Duplex” is Auto in Advanced Properties of the NIC. If not, please let us know your value.
    4. Check if “Flow Control” is disabled in Advanced Properties of your NIC.
    5. Go to your Start Menu, search for “Local Security Policy“ and run it as administrator. Under Security Settings -> Local Policies -> Security Options.
    1) Open “Network security:Minimum session security for NTLM SSP (including RPC based) Clients”,
    unselect “Require NTLMv2 session security” and “Require 128-bit encryption”.
    2) Do the same operation to “Network security:Minimum session security for NTLM SSP (including RPC based) Servers”.
    3) Open
    the policy “Network Security LAN Manager authentication level“. Locate and select the option “Send LM & NTLM – use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated“. Click Apply, and close out of all
    policy management windows.
    Hope this helps.

  • Fuji x-trans raw files import extremely slow

    WIn 7 pro 3.6 AMD quad core 16 gb ram 1.2 tb raid 0 WD Velociraptor drives. Lightroom 5.6
    I have a fairly quick system and my 24mp Sony raw files import and render full sized previews reasonably quickly -but it takes about 5x longer for my Fuji X-T1 raw files to import and render full size previews.  If I import into Capture One Pro 7 or 8 or into Photo Ninja both the Sony and the Fuji files import and render previews quickly. It is only Lightroom that is so incredibly slow with the Fuji raw files.
    I have used LR since version one and my files have always imported reasonably fast , however, the Fuji raw files have been slow to import from the very first import.  Ex - yesterday I imported 312 raf files (Fuji raw files) and it took 31 minutes to complete. I also imported 257 Sony raw files and the import  plus full sized preview rendering was completed in just under 5 minutes.
    Am I missing something in the preferences or import workflow?
    Thanks for any help
    BOb

    Thanks for the quick reply! :-)
    The setup is identical as when I work with my Nikon-files; I always start by "manually" copy the files from the memorycard to correct location/disk.
    In LR I use the "Add" option when I import to my catalog, so the file transfer is not part of the equation....
    Even the large files from Nikon D810 is faster to "add" than the files from the X-T1.
    But, as you write, it might come down to X-Trans-files (RAF) is not as optimal for Adobe processing as the Nikon raw files (NEF)...

  • Copying files is extremely slow!

    Suddenly I have a large problem copying files.
    Briefly: I keep my iTunes library (mostly video - movies, TV shows) on an external drive. Suddenly copying a TV show (about 650 mb) that normally takes about 10 seconds either takes extremely long or causes a total freeze up.
    What happened: The first time it happened it got up to about 30 MB copied and the estimated time kept climbing from about 5 minutes to 8 minutes to 15 minutes etc. My machine froze completely and I had to do a forced shutdown. When I tried to restart, the startup disc wasn't recognized and I got the folder with the question mark icon. I restarted in target mode to use Disk Utility from my laptop, but it didn't recognize the drive at all. I restarted with the original installer disc and did a hard drive verification. At the end I got the message "Filesystem verify or repair failed" and the only error shown was a difference in the number of free blocks. (maybe because I shut it down in the copying process?) I did a disc repair which ended successfully, and I could reboot from the internal hard drive again.
    I thought maybe a corrupted video files was the problem, so I tried to copy a similar file over with the same result. Only this time, after the boot up drive wasn't recognized, it also didn't show up in the Disc Utility from the installer disc! Assuming I had to take it in for repair with a dead internal hard drive, I shut it down. But hours later, just for grins, I started it up again, and this time Disk Utility on the installer disc did recognize the internal hard drive and i could do the disc repair again.
    I plugged the external drive into my laptop and copied a similar file over, which took the usual 10 seconds, so it is not the external drive causing the problems.
    So I did a test by just using option-drag to make a copy of the same file, which didn't cause the total freeze up, but it did take over 10 minutes instead of 10 seconds. Same result with a similar video file, so the fist video file isn't corrupt I guess.
    Everything else seems to be normal now, but file copying is extremely slow. The boot up time is also normal.
    At several points in this ordeal I ran Cocktail and did a PRAM reset. I usually use Cocktail maybe twice a month and never had a problem, so I don't think it was the culprit.
    Any ideas out there about what my problem might be?
    Thanks!

    Oops!

  • Time machine file transfer very slow during OSX 10.7 re-install

    I am using a macbook pro, and was running 10.7. (not sure exact version, and cannot look now, but should have been up to date)  I tried the free upgrade to Mavericks, but it failed and said I had a disk error.  At this point I could not boot back to 10.7 so I booted with apple-R.  I tried to do a repair from disk utility but that failed so I erased my hard drive.  Then I proceeded with an install of 10.7, which proceeded fine.  I got  to a point where it asked about transferring files, (forget the exact wording) and I said to use my time machine backup (from right before I tried the upgrade - backup was 80GB) and I started that.  It has been 16 hours and it still has not finished.  The external hard drive (Lacie)  clicks / whirs, and I see signs of very slow progress... (seems to be at about 80% now judging by the progress bar) but it can go hours without any noticeable change.  The "time remaining" information is variable -- going up and down -- and is clearly not correct-- has said 1.5 to 2.5 hours for the last 12 hours 
    Any ideas?  should I just wait a few more days     should I abort and restart the file transfer (if so, what is the best way to do this?)
    I cannot provide details on the computer since it is still busily restoring (I hope), but it is roughly 3-4 years old, lots of free space on hard drive (>100GB),

    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the word "Starting" (without the quotes.) You should now see log messages with the words "Starting * backup," where * represents any of the words "automatic," "manual," or "standard."
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Note the timestamp of the last "Starting" message that corresponds to the beginning of an an abnormal backup. Now
    CLEAR THE WORD "Starting" FROM THE TEXT FIELD
    so that all messages are showing, and scroll back in the log to the time you noted. Select the messages timestamped from then until the end of the backup, or the end of the log if that's not clear. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    ☞ If all you see are messages that contain the word "Starting," you didn't clear the text field.
    ☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    ☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

  • FILE TRANSFER RATE SLOW FROM WIN SERVER 2012.

    Dear Team
    The File Transfer problem From my Windows Server 2012R2 (File server) showing 200KB transer rate in 1g network. Please help

    Hi,
    What's the operation system are you using, Windows XP/2003 or Windows 7/8/2008/2012?
    You can test to disable SMB2/3 and see if issue is related:
    Set-SmbServerConfiguration -EnableSMB2Protocol $false
    See:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2696547/en-us
    Note: This is just for testing and you can enable it after testing.
    If it is SMB related, try to disable the TCP Chimney Offload, Receive Side Scaling and Network Direct Memory Access features.
    Information about the TCP Chimney Offload, Receive Side Scaling, and Network Direct Memory Access features in Windows Server 2008
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/951037
    Here are the steps to disable RSS, TCP Chimney Offload and NetDMA:
    netsh int tcp set global rss=disabled
    netsh int tcp set global chimney=disabled
    In HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters, double-click the EnableTCPA registry entry.
    Note: If this registry entry does not exist, right-click Parameters, point to New, click DWORD Value, type EnableTCPA, and then press ENTER.
    To disable NetDMA, type 0 in the Value data box, and then click OK.
    Let us know if issue still exists.

  • HT4527 Th the music file transfer so slow

    How can this be done faster?

    Get a faster network (not Internet) connection.
    Get faster computers.
    Transfering files via the network has nothing to do with iTunes.  The speed of the network, amount of memory on the computer, and the speed of the processor dictate the speed at which files transfer.
