File transfer hung up on "Validating Device"

I have added my husband's Vista PC - passkey exchanged - paired and connection on in control panel. He can send me files. When I try to send him something it hangs up on "validating device". He has his computer set to accept files. Any suggestions?

We found that if my husband opened two serial ports on his Vista PC and I opened two serial ports on my Mac, Bluetooth file transfer worked

Why have apple disabled file transfer between iphone and other devices?

I have recently purchased an iPhone and i was about to send a file from my iPhone to a friends android and i found that it wasnt possible. Does anyone know why apple have not allowed this feature on any of the iPhones?

I venture to say security is the primary reason.

The File name property is not valid. The file name is a device or contains invalid characters

I have an SSIS task that has run successfully for years. They just moved the dtsx to a new server and now it is failing.
Issue:
The task has a data flow that writes a raw file destination. It then has a subsequent data flow that reads the raw file destination.
The path and name of the raw file is passed to each of the data flows via the same variable.
The raw file resides in a folder on the server in the same path that the dtsx resides in.
The task fails with the "The File name property is not valid. The file name is a device or contains invalid characters" error when trying to access the raw file.
What we have done to troubleshoot:
1. I ran the task successfully on my local machine so it is definitely a server issue.
2. The first thing we were seeing was that it failed trying to write to the raw file. The task is set to "Create Always".
3. We saw that the dba's copied over the entire directory structure from the old server which included a previously created raw file, so we deleted the raw file.
4. We reran the task and it successfully wrote a new raw file but then failed on reading the raw file with the same error as above.
5. We reran the task AGAIN and this time it failed trying to write the raw file throwing the same error as above.
6. The dba looked at the directory and the account that performs the task has full control.
7. The dba looked at the raw file that was created and verified that the account that performs the task has full control of the file and that it is the owner of the file.
Summary:
The task fails when trying to access the file EXCEPT when the file does not exist. In that situation it can write the file but subsequently fails in accessing it again.

Hi Whalensdad,
Based on my research, the issue can be caused by the following reasons:
There are some invalid characters in the File name at package runtime. In this scenario, just as Russ said, could you please post the value that is in the File name variable? Also use a Script Task with Messagebox.show to show the variable values at runtime.
May be it changes to others at run time.
The account runs the package not having access to all the folders in the path. Since you are moving the dtsx file from one server to the current server, do you also move the raw file to the same folder in the current server? Does the user runs the package
have access to all the folders in the path? To solve this, please ensure that the user has access to all folders and the raw file in the path on the current server.
Thanks,
Katherine Xiong

Please see the response above. I can't use a message box on a server so I logged the values to the database. The resource account has full control to the folder. I haven't been able to get the DBA to check the SQL Agents permissions, but I was always under
the impression that if you use "Run As" on the task, it will not use the SQL Agent but the account you identify it to "Run As". The "Run As" account has full control on the folder and file.

Simple PRC file transfer between devices or via PC not so simple, sigh.

Greeting, this is my first post so excuse me if I make some faux pas.
I was unpleasantly surprised how difficult, almost imposible it is to take a [custom] PRC off one Palm device and put it on a second, even using a Windows PC as the intermediary.
The devices use Palm 4.1 OS and are bar code scanners, SPT1800, made by Symbol and now legacy devices since Motorola bought them out.
So one PRC is a tiny program that allows the main program to be downloaded via a network. Without this tiny program, can't get the devices to do anything.
I tried terminal programs and what not. I can talk to the devices via COM1 and even 9600 n81, a simple protocol. They do have some kind of binary file transfer capability. But I cannot even get a Directory listing, nothing from the Palm device. That file capability is simple not there. Really surprised me.
Desktop software is useless so far, from Symbol/Motorola. Have not tried Palm's but it looks almost identical and only allows PRC to be transferred to the device for installation, not vice versa.
I am trying to avoid installing linux and using pilot-xfer only because that takes a couple of days before I can download and debug everything. But Pilot can make a backup of the Palm device, purportedly, any Palm device just about.
Any suggestions? Pilot-xfer is still not ready for Windows?
I am using Windows XP Pro with the Com1 port. I did try Telnet and a Terminal program but I cannot get the Palm device to do much.
I guess they did this on purpose so the files can't be messed up?
Anyway to just make a backup of the regular memory, not the ROM?
I have emailed a few Palm service companies if they can sell me a program to do this but I doubt they will. We did send some Palm devices out to one of these companies and it's almost 2 months now. It's murder.
Thanks, AdamPalm

Your references are appreciated. I look forward to testing this out. It's interesting how complicated this gets and all the little deadly false steps. For example, I use 98se and XP Pro mostly [Win 2000 and linux sometimes]. I shut down the serial ports. No problem I thought. I just open them up when I need COM1 and that particular IRQ.
BIG PROBLEM NOW. Machine can't work now with COM1 in 98se. That IRQ is not moving back. XP PRO does not have this problem since presumably lots of IRQs and not used that much.
This complete collapse of the computer with something as dumb as enabling/disabling COM ports in the BIOS has me gobsmacked. It's so bad it's funny. Never saw this problem before in all the various operating systems. I better not see this again. I might really go over to linux as soon as I figure out how to play all those proprietary formats that don't play in linux.
What should take minutes will probably take days to sort out all the problems.
Do others encounter this too? Sorry to whine but that's fun too.
Thanks for all the comments fellow. Appreciated.

File transfer option not available for remote devices under MAX

I am currently using LabVIEW 2012 and am using a application running on a Windows 7 PC to communicate (TCP/IP over Ethernet) with a RT PC. I have built an installer that installs a LabVIEW application as well as MAX on the Windows 7 PC. After installation i can open MAX and browse under Remote Systems to my RT device but am unable to ftp files to the the RT device as the File Transfer feature on the drop down menu is not shown. (This PC does not have the LabVIEW development environment installed.) Does anyone know if there are Additional Installers that are required to be included that will activate this feature or any reason why this feature in not available?
Regards,
Rob

Did you include the MAX FTP Client from the RT module in your installer? See this knowledgebase to see what I mean:
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/571113c2ce05998e862574e8006005a2?OpenDocument
Also, you can most likely just do ftp using windows explorer, if you prefer that method. Just open up windows explorer, and in the address bar type "ftp://x.x.x.x/" (where x.x.x.x is the IP address of the RT PC you are accessing.
Also, are you using the LabVIEW real-time module on your RT PC?

In Icloud I can't see my "numbers" icon which i need to select "tick" to transfer data to my other devices via icloud. any ideas why it's not showing up?

In Icloud on my imac I can't see my "numbers" icon which i need to select "tick" to transfer data to my other devices via icloud. any ideas why it's not showing up?

You have to do it app wise, which means that the icon won't show up in settings, but you will be able to move files from your local drive to iCloud via the Numbers app (move... > choose the iCloud option).
It requires that you set up the same iCloud account on all your devices and that you have the latest version of Numbers on all your devices as well.

Creative Zen USB and File transfer probl

Am the unhappy owner of a brand new Creative Zen touch 20gb mp3 player which apparently works with usb 2.0. After installing the software which came on the cd (file transfer software and nomad explorer) the Zen appears to get recognised by the pc with no problems when i connect via the usb cable. The Zen also displays 'docked' which is all very well. However if i select say 0 tracks to download to the player the xp progress bar seems to halt at around 60-70% and eventually the program (nomad) complains that the operation cannot be completed. I noticed that the small hard dri've in the player feels as though it is 'spinning down' around a similar time to the message being displayed. If at this stage i refresh the players view in nomad explorer it can be found with no problem....its just i cant write to it until i unplug the usb from the zen and reconnect. I spoke to creative who told me that because my pc (in system devices) reports that my usb is an 'open host' adapter...this means it cannot supply adequate power to the player....but surely USB2.0 is USB2.0 and if something claims to be USB2.0 compliant that would be the end of the story? The usb card im using is a usb 2.0 pci card and is also pretty new. Any help/ideas would be greatly appreciated.
I have tried various usb ports, usb and2 conections ( I have both), various cables and combinations and the same happens. I have also tried win xp and win98, and other disks I have with the same result. I have managed to transfer 20 os so mp3s (a small proportion of those I have been trying to transfer)after 3-4 hours hard labour but never the contents of a full folder. After a proportion of the files are transferred then Zen touch becomes 'busy' or 'not connected'. Obviously there is no way I can continue like this and it will have to go back.
I have tried the slightly newer driver but this did not work at all and I had to roll back to the one that came on the CD. I feel that I have given it a fair shot trying all the workarounds.
Is is a USB power problem? Should a powered usb hub cure it's If so why?
But is this surely is Creative's problem. It is obviously a known issue but what are they doing about it's Putting out Zens which are prone to this problem is not good practice. Any solutions out there?

Hey,
If you tried it on a friend's computer and you're still having problems then it may be a problem with the Zen. Before you call or e-mail tech support, here is what they will tell you do to first before they really get in depth with helping you. Go into Rescue Mode (there is an explanation on how to do this at the top of the forum) and do a disk clean up. After that, try it. If that doesn't work then click the reload OS option which will take the firmware (like windows to your PC) off the Zen. Don't worry you can easily put it back on. Go to Support>Downloads>select Zen Touch, etc, etc. and download the latest firmware and run it. Hopefully that will fix it....
I had some connection problems myself with my ZT as soon as I got it as well. and simply reflashing the firmware fixed and now I love my Zen. I hope everything works out for you.

IChat File Transfer/Video Chat won't work... :(

Hi Everyone,
I am trying to get ichat to allow file transfers/video chatting on my Mac, I have a feeling that the setup through the routers that we have are not allowing it to function as it is constantly giving me errors. My set up is a Cable Modem hooked into a Netgear WGR614 v6 and then an ethernet wire running from that router to a Linksys WRT54G v8. I have the WRT54G set up with the following settings:
IP: 192.168.1.136
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Gateway 192.168.1.1
Static DNS 1 and 2: Are my IP's DNS servers
Static DNS 3 is blank
Local IP address is .199 with a subnet of 255.255.255.128
I have DHCP enabled starting at .200 with 30 users
My computer is also set up statically at port .233.
The Netgear WGR614 v6 is set up with the following settings:
Get IP/DNS dynamically from ISP
DHCP Range from 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.51. Router is on a subnet of 255.255.255.0 the linksys is set up statically to the Netgear
SO, this brings me to my issue, I am trying to get ichat file transfer/video to work, I have followed the instructions for setting up portforwarding from portforward.com for ichat on both the netgear and the linksys. On the linksys, i set the IP address to forward to as my computers (.233)
On the netgear, i set the ip address to forward to as 192.168.1.136 (the static IP of the linksys).
Anyway, I am hoping someone can point out what I am doing wrong as I am still getting this error: An AIM error has occurred. Unable to talk directly to your buddy. I am also getting this error: An AIM service error occurred. The server message was: Serv:RequestTimeout.
My OS X firewall is off.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP IN ADVANCE!!

Hi,
I am not sure I have understood your Networking here.
You say the Netgear is getting an IP (Via DHCP) from the ISP.
You go onto say it is at 192.168.1.1
It issues IP addresses from 192.168.1.2 through 192.168.1.51 and the Linksys has an IP outside this range at 192.168.1.136
Your computer is at 192.168.1.233
As both devices are using the 192.168.1.xxx group and doing DHCP (even with restricted groups) how does the computer know which one to connect to ?
You should be able to change the group that each device is using for it's own network (I would suggest the Netgear)
You should also turn Off DHCP (to the LAN) in the Netgear so it's own network (subnet) only goes as far as the Linksys.
Similarly in the Linksys make sure DHCP is Off or change the Mac to use Manually (Static) with DHCP.
Both devices can do UPnP found in the Administration tab in the Linksys and the WAN page of the Netgear.
Turn Off/disable all Port Forwarding in both devices.
It may also pay to copy across the Linksys and Computer the DNS server IPs from the Netgear.

Album art won't transfer when dragging music to device

Hope I'm not the only one to have noticed this.
I recently updated iTunes to v10.6 from 10.0. Since then, any album art that I have manually added in the past no longer shows up on my iPhone or iPod Classic. However, album art that was retrieved via iTunes (purchases, etc) does appear. I first noticed this on my iPhone, which was running iOS 5.0.1 at the time. I updated to iOS 5.1 afterwards, thinking that it might solve the problem but nothing changed.
Some things I should mention; my entire library is ALAC (lossless), and I do not use the sync feature with music. I manually drag albums over that I want and use the "convert to AAC feature", and have always done so. The main reason I upgraded to iTunes 10.6 was to take advantage of converting to AAC 256kbps instead of the previously fixed bit rate of 128kbps. Anyway, I dragged over a lossless album without the option of converting to AAC, but it still didn't transfer the artwork.
In case anyone is wondering, the method I used to download my art was by finding the cover using Google Images, hilighting every track in the album, and pasting it in. Again, I never had this problem until upgrading iTunes to v10.6.
Would be interesting to hear if anyone else has experience this problem, and if there are any fixes yet.
(10.6.8)

In my experience, the only way for the album artwork to stay associated with the actual music file, is to use the "Update album artwork" feature in iTunes. This means, that to get the artwork from iTunes, the artist name, song title and album name MUST match exactly the information of the song in the iTunes store. If the art is not available, you can add your own. If you add your own, then run the update album art feature again so that the album art becomes part of the songs meta data. It should transfer to just about any device after that. However, some devices (Nokia comes to mind) will not display art metadata over 64K in size.

Problem with file transfer via wi-fi!

Hi, folks,
Please, could someone help me to get a music file I made using Groovemaker app?
After finish the mix, I built a song. Then, I saved it in the "mix browser".
In the end of the exporting process, I typed the URL address displayed in the browser (http://192.168.0.188:5555/, on Firefox, Chrome and IE), but something gone wrong and, every time I export the same song - it's my first exporting action - I got a message such "The page hasn't loaded... limit time reached".
What's the problem with my wi-fi connection? Should I set something in my router? According to the company website (http://www.groovemaker.com/gmiphone/features/) this kind of wi-fi file transfer is easy, but not to me...
Thanks in advance!
Alex

Where is the "File" "transfer purchases" button?

Where is the File>Transfer purchases button in itunes? Can't find it anywhere!

You should have a File drop-down menu at the top of your computer's iTunes - if you are using a PC with iTunes 11 on it then try pressing Alt-F and the File menu should appear (on iTunes 11 it's File > Devices > Transfer Purchases)

Disable Bluetooth File Transfer - Windows 7

How do I disable Bluetooth file transfer for Windows 7? I am planning to see if it can be done via Group Policy (custom adm or GPP) or by creating a power shell script.
I read the existing questions here but its getting me nowhere. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/0a04b41b-05a8-4d7b-9ae0-212137cc4af7/restrict-bluetooth-file-transfer?forum=winserverGP

Hi,
For Bluetooth devices, try this :

If it doesn't work, You may also try to use GPP Services to disable the Bluetooth Support Service (BthServ).

Bandwidth control druing large file transfer

My user has an application that requires him to transfer hugh files from one location to another location.
our whole company is connected via ipvpn tunnel each office has a 20Mb ethernet WAN link.
when this user starts his file transfer, it will choke up the whole 20Mb in that particular office.
we have checked at the application layer, but there is no option to control the file transfer speed or bandwidth
is that any way, I can control the bandwidth usage of this user?

Your options for bandwidth control depend much on your platforms. Some devices would allow you to police or shape your traffic, but at Vasilii describes, probably the best solution would be to deprioritize this bulk transfer traffic using QoS. (For 20 Mbps, you might need a hierarchal shaper. Also for this to work well with Internet VPN, you cannot have anything else sharing Internet ingress.)

HT204144 File transfer using Airdrop from iphone to Macbook Pro

File transfer using airdrop form Macbook Pro to iphone is working...but from iphone to Macbook Pro is not working, Why?

Hi Brok25;
Thanks for the question. The resource below explains the specs and settings that are needed for AirDrop. Check the settings and look to see if your MacBook Pro is listed.
Mac Basics: AirDrop lets you send files from your Mac to nearby Macs and iOS devices - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203106
Sending files to and from an older Mac
If a Mac you're using with AirDrop was manufactured before 2012, you can send and receive files with other Mac computers.
On the sending Mac, click "Don't see who you're looking for" in the AirDrop window.
Select the option to "Search for an Older Mac."
On the receiving Mac, open a new Finder window and click AirDrop in the sidebar.
Tips for sending files
Make sure Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are enabled on your Mac and your iOS device. Although you don't have to connect to a specific network, Wi-Fi needs to be on to send and receive files using AirDrop.
Move your devices closer together. AirDrop is designed to work within a range of approximately 30 feet (9 meters). If you need to send a file to someone farther away, consider using File Sharing, iCloud, or email instead.
If you're using a firewall on your Mac, you won't be able to receive AirDrop files if you have enabled "Block all incoming connections" in the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences.
Make sure your devices meet system requirements for AirDrop.
System Requirements
To see if your Mac works with AirDrop, make sure you’re in the Finder by clicking the desktop (the background area of your screen), or by clicking the Finder icon in the Dock. Then, check to see if AirDrop is listed as an option in the Go menu. If you don't see AirDrop listed, your Mac doesn't support this feature.
In order to transfer files between a Mac and and an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch
your iOS device needs to include a lightning connector
your iOS device needs iOS 7 or later installed
your Mac needs to be a 2012 or later model with OS X Yosemite installed
Your Mac and iOS device both need bluetooth and Wi-Fi turned on. You do not have to be connected to a specific Wi-Fi network.
To transfer files between two Mac computers, you need the Mac models listed below with Wi-Fi turned on and OS X Lion or later installed.
MacBook Pro (Late 2008 or newer)*
MacBook Air (Late 2010 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 or newer)*
iMac (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Mini (Mid 2010 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2009 with AirPort Extreme card, or Mid 2010)
*The MacBook Pro (17-Inch Late 2008) and the white MacBook (Late 2008) do not support AirDrop.
For help identifying your Mac, choose About This Mac from the Apple menu. You can refer to the Apple Support website to find out if your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch includes a lightning connector.
Cheers,
- Judy
