File transfer issues

I'm attempting to transfer files from my (very) old G4 (running OS 10.4) to my new mini via firewire. I have no problem starting the G4 in target disk mode, but it doesn't show up anywhere on the mini.
What am I missing here? I've read everything I can find but nothing has addressed this problem. I've skimmed the topics here and also didn't see anything, so my apologies if this has already been answered.
Thx~
Deb

After talking with Apple Support, only to be told to do exactly everything I'd already done a 100+ times, I'm no closer to resolving this issue than I was before. I suppose I could have purchased a bad firewire cable, though it seems kind of unlikely. Or perhaps the firewire ports on the G4 are bad, though they've never even been used.
I have no other ideas, though. Does anyone have a thought? Please? Am I stuck transferring years' worth of files via ethernet?

Guess it's *nix SMB implementation issue and has nothing to do with Windows. And you can do nothing to tune the SMB except downgrading initial handshake version (what you already did).

WRT350N File Transfer Issues...

I'm unable to transfer files from one PC to the other. I've upgraded the firmware to the latest revision (1.03.2). PC1 is my laptop from work. At work, I can connect to it w/o any problem and transfer files to/from any PC on the work network.
From home, If I attempt to connect to the laptop from the home computer, XP Pro comes back w/ "Cannot find...". This should be fairly simple, but I can't seem to get it working. I had the same problem w/ my other Linksys router before it died. I went w/ the WRT350n because of the 1GB transfer rate between computers.
If I attempt to ping the laptop from the desktop, I get the correct results. Going from the desktop from the laptop, no such luck. Both systems are in the same workgroup and running XP Pro.
If I attempt to RDC into either system, I'm prompted for a username & password. I receive the "This computer can't connect..." error. Single Port Forwarding w/ port 3389 is enabled.
I've just about given up... Anyone have any ideas?

I have this exact issue on my new WRT 610. I'm all connected between laptop (Vista Home Premium) and desktop (Vista Ult), but when I try to copy files from a shared dir on the desktop to my laptop, it works ok for a while and then STOPS dead in the water after 10-15 mins and says "file is no longer located at location xxxxx". Basically, my connection severs at that point, in midstream, because I can't even see the desktop anymore from the laptop until I reboot (I just reboot both machines). This thread seems to indicate that shutting down the firewalls on both machines is the solution and thus is ok to do, but I'm unsure of that solution and scared to implement it. I did a search and it seems that it is NOT recommended to shut down the Vista firewall even tho I have the hardware firewall now... because only the Vista firewall can monitor the outgoing connections and halt them... is this true? Appreciate feedback, in the meantime I will risk it for a half hour and shut them down and see if the transfer goes longer and/or quicker. My transfer speed between the two 'puters is disappointingly slow altho I can't quote an exact speed... 70 megs of files was gonna take 2 hrs and 30 mins per the windows popup.
P.S. Can someone please explain why the Vista firewall would be the issue here? Why would it allow the transfer for 15 mins and 4-5 MB but then slice the connection? Wouldn't it either allow the full file transfer or else not allow it at all? I don't understand.

Ichat file transfer issues

Hi, is anyone else experiencing as issue with iChat where if you send over a file like an mp3 it says unexpected error in the file transfer box after the recipient accepts the file? The process was working yesterday and has done this all day. Please someone help.

Hi,
Welcome to the  Discussions
Some people are reporting that GoogleTalk files sending is a bit suspect with iChat
Some others are reporting issues with Snow Leopard to Leopard File Sharing although it works Leopard to Snow Leopard with the same computers. (AIM based Buddy lists)

WD Elements External drive file transfer issue.

I have just purchased a 1.5Tb USB 2.0 WD Elements external hard drive for backing up data. I have partitioned it, using Disk Utility in to a 1Tb Fat32 and 500Mb OS Journaled (Extended) pair of partitions. The OS Journaled (Extended) partition will replace a smaller Maxtor drive as my Time Machine Backup drive.
The problem: When I attempt to copy/move a file from either the Mac HD or my current backup drive, a 750Gb Maxtor, I get the message "*The operation can't be completed because an item with the name "file/folder name" already exists*." On the Windows XP Boot Camp partition file transfer is not a problem
WD have not been of much assistance and I am hoping someone can remedy this problem for me.

and btw, since I have the exact same My Book Essential USB 2.0 1.5 terabyte drive the poster has, I retrieved the Box it came in (Green) and It says plainly on the box. "Compatibility - Formatted NTFS for Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7.
Requires reformatting for Mac OS X Tiger, or Leopard".
OP states he formatted a 1 terabyte partition FAT32. Do any of you actually understand the size restrictions of FAT32? I didn't think so.
I have no problem with this or any other drive since I format every drive I buy for the purpose that I had in mind.
The decision is size/interface/price. Any WD will do, since usb2 at 480 mbits/sec is faster than firewire 400 and out of my 4 macs only usb2 is common across them all, it's a no brainer. Yeah, firewire 800 is faster but only half my macs support it.
So it goes to sleep after 10 minutes of inactivity? TM only updates once per hour. In loose terms it sleeps 50 minutes of every hour when it's not needed. So What.
So in a day's time, that's 1,200 minutes that it doesn't spin...that sounds like a feature to me.
How many new, inexperienced users have you people talked into taking perfectly good drives back to the store? I see it post after post and quite frankly, you don't know what you're talking about.
Full disclosure. I don't work for, or have ever been paid anything from WD. I don't have stock in WD (although I've thought about it). I don't have any other ID's on this board so I don't "game it" like other users.

File transfer issues in Skype 6.22?

Recently updated to 6.22 and lost the ability to decline incoming files. In previous versions you had to options - accept or decline, now the only options seem to be "accept" or ignore and then the file request just sits in the chat window as incomplete. Is this a setting that can be changed or do I need to stay annoyed by it forever?
Moreover: After accepting a file transfer, you used to be able to click the "view in folder" link and open the file location. This also seem to be removed. Comments on this?

...also you can just start by opening the conversation with the first member of your future group you want to create and then simply use the "Add contacts" button on top right to add the other members. This way a new group conversation will be created as well.
We are right now working to update this FAQ to reflect that information: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA1005/how-do-i-start-a-group-instant-message-in-skype-for-windows-...

SCP log file transfer issues after upgrade

We upgraded out AsyncOS from 6.3.3 to 7.1.3 and now we are encountering log transfer issues with 2 out of 3 WSA's. Also the log rotation is set at 3GB but is rotating at 1GB. Anyone have any suggestions?

Hi Dominick,
FIrst look at your log subscriptions for the access logs. Log into the GUI -> System Administration -> Log Subscriptions -> Access Logs highlighted in blue on the left side of the window. Check that your configuration is set to your needs. Next we need to review what is taking place when SCP tries to send the logs to the destination by reviewing the System Logs also located within the log subscriptions. Is the destination a Windows or Linux device ? If it is a Linux device you may also want to look into var/log/secure for the log information there as well.
Sincerely,

Help with file transfer issue

When importing a music file from my computer, Itunes does not transfer the file complete, but rather separates songs from the album. I end up with several files in itunes, all from the same album. It seems that the ones seperated are usually songs that "feature" other artists.

Yeah this is a common issue, what you need to do is highlight all the songs that are suppose to be under the same album and make sure the Album title is correct and the Album Artist is correct. If not you will want to change it so it is reflected correctly.

File transfer issues - qt won't play

i transferred a bunch of folders and qt files from one mac to
another yesterday and now nothing plays. the files show as
being unix executables rather than qt files and i get an error,
i think -39, that they can't be played as they are not movie
files. i tried chmodding the permissions recursively through
the folder but no luck; they're on a drive on which permissions
are ignored anyway.
the process i used was to move the files first to an external
usb drive formatted to fat32, then i took that drive to the
new macpro and transferred them to its drive. the files appear
on the external fat32 drive as unix executables.
the first time i tried the transfer it crashed giving an error-36
goinjg from the original mac to the external fat32. after that
i used the command line (cp -Rpv from to) and the transfer was,
at least on the surface, successful.
how can i get these files to play? what did i overlook?
thanks,
BabaG

i managed to get it to play in IE.so I guess the issue had something to do with firefox.

Zen Micro file transfer issue - h

I just purchase a Zen Micor and installed everything, charged it, downloaded 0 songs and it worked great. So I tried to download some more, and they all ~80, "failed" to transfer. So I installed the new firmware thinking that may be the problem, but still unable to download anymore music. I did a clean disk and reboot, still nothing.
Does anyone have any ideas on what may be wrong, or what to do to correct this. I'd really hate to have to take this back, but not sure what to do at this point. I've never had this problem with my ipod or iri'ver before?
Thanks,
Josh

all the songs are mp3 format
the transfer window pops up, the status will say writing for about 5sec. then the error comes up and says unable to create file - restart player and try again.
but then the player has the acti've docked logo on, which you aren't supposed to unplug from the computer when that's on, but it will not go off. I've left it for hours and ended up unplugging it anyway. So I've restarted it, pulled the batter and retried that a few times too.
Any ideas?
thanks for your help

File transfer issues with iMessages 10.8.3

I am currently running Mountain Lion version 10.8.2 with messages version 7.0.1. my imessage is linked in my facebook and gmail my problem is this i cant send a picture or any file using imessage please help me what to do? step by step
this is my preferences in imessage ->
*I already tried the command alt p r, but nothing happens..

Hi,
Later versions of iChat and Messages lists some accounts (as seen in the Preferences > Accounts ) differently to earlier version of iChat.
At iChat 3 you could log in only one AIM (or AIM valid) name and one Jabber/Google name at one time.
Meaning a max of three Buddy list on view with the Bonjour Account Included.
The GoogleTalk login in iChat 3 required you manually changed the server name as Google don't folow the regular Jabber/XMPP practice of the full ID being based on the server name ([email protected]).
At iChat 4 you could log in multiple of each
It listed either "AIM/Jabber Buddy List" if there was only one and the username/ID/Screen Name if you did not add a Description (Account info tab)
At Messages with the System Preferences > Mail, Contacts and Calendars involvement the Account gets listed as GoogleTalk type (As opposed to AIM or Jabber) in the List whilst using your Description as the title to the Buddy List window.
Older iChats versions will still list Google Log ins as Jabber.
This is a pic using Psi (A Jabber specific App that can do "Service Discovery")
Google effectively lists nothing.
The one for another server (Jabber.me.uk)
It lists "Transports" that allow connections to other services and the File Proxy Transfer amongst others.
The Pop up is also greatly extended as to what the plain server can do.
It also seems difficult to find info on what Google have set up Google Talk to allow

File Transfer Issue on Mac Pro System

Hey guys, I have a Mac Pro with a Burly RAID system hooked up. We have two slots on our RAID that are for what we call "Library Drives" that are independent from the RAID and are used to transfer files between one of our editing systems and the other one we have (which has an identical setup).
I have a G-RAID 1.5TB hard drive with footage on it that I need on one of my Library drives. I select it all and drag it over to my library drives but a while into it I always get "The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items". The G-RAID ejects itself when this error occurs.
I have made sure that all of the directories and all of the files are "Read and Write" for everyone and even applied it to all of the contents. I also made sure "Ignore ownership" was selected. I also tried making the folder and copying the contents as opposed to copying the folder itself to see if that did anything (at someone's suggestion) and it still is giving me the error.
We managed to transfer the G-RAID files right to the other computer via FireWire 800 but that is unacceptable as we need these Library drives to be the go-between. (this eliminates the possibility of it being one file alone).
The setup we need to work is as follows.
G-RAID Archive --> FireWire Hub --> Mac Pro --> Library Drive on HDD Deck
Any help is much obliged. Thanks =)

I'd start with the hub.
Another thing that can happen is the power supply brick to the G-Raid could be intermittently failing. When this happens, the drive will try and pull the necessary juice from the bus and that could mean the hub, another drive or the Mac itself. This makes it tough to troubleshoot.
Definitely eliminate everything you possibly can between the Mac and the external drive and disconnect all other firewire peripherals just to eliminate them from the picture.

Windows 7 file transfer issue

I transferred all music files to my new laptop (Windows 7). When I install iTunes (64 bit), only the music files in the iTunes Library folder are automatically connected to the song in iTunes. All other files can be connected manually, but that is a HUGE chore. It seems as though iTunes should search for all music files, like it did when I roiginally installed it on my old laptop. Any ideas?

IChat 4.0.5 File Transfer Issue/Error

Hey,
I'm having trouble sending files through iChat... It works fine with some people but with other people it just keeps calculating then gives me the following msg: "Unexpected Error (possibly Someone did not respond in time)"
We are both using AIM accounts to use iChat...
My computer isn't directly connected to a modem, it connects through a router... The other person has the same setup...
Has anyone been able to come up with a solution to this?
Thanks

If you have not already change the Login port in iChat > Preferences > Accounts > Server Settings to port 443
You have to be logged out of AIM to make this change.
Also make sure you are using a method to open ports in any routing device that allows port 5190 on the UDP Protocol.

Files transfer issues

unable to drag and drop files from my mac pro to the external hard drive.

Your screenshot didn't come through - try using the camera icon in the composition bar to browse for and insert the image.
If you're going to be using the drive on both a Mac and a Windows machine, you're going to have to either use a format that both will read and write to or, if you're going to use NTFS, use something such as Paragon's NTFS for Mac software (only $20 and worth every penny).
