File Transfer Over Network Problem since 10.4.9 Update

Since the update I've had this problem. Here's a typical operation:
In a finder window, from my PowerMac G5, I click on Network and mount a disk from another Mac on the Network (Intel Mac Mini). I navigate to that mounted disk and drag a 1.5GB file from it to a directory on my G5.
This used to take a couple of minutes before the update. Now it takes over 4 hours! My network looks like this:
Intel mac Mini (10.4.9) hard-wired to new Airport Extreme 802.11n
PowerMac G5 (10.4.9) hard-wired to new Airport Extreme 802.11n
Pwerbook (10.4.8) Wi-Fied to new Airport Extreme 802.11n
I don't understand why this is happening or how to correct this problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated since I do this operation frequently and 4+ hours is totally unacceptable.
Thanks!
G5 2.5gHz PowerMac, Mac Mini Core Duo, G3 400mHz Powerbook Mac OS X (10.4.9)

I found out that about the same time as the update one of my five external hard drives started going south on me. When it got to the point of no return where it wouldn't mount any more I took it off the Mac. The network is running fast and fine now. For some reason the drive was slowing everything up. Weird.

Port 548 Shutting Down File Transfer Over Network

OK, nobody laugh, but I am trying to transfer some old work files from an ancient PowerBook 3400 (including many on Zip disks) running OS 8.1 to one of our newer machines so we can look through them at our leisure later and save those of interest.
On the PowerBook, I have successfully connected to both of the new machines (see below) via Chooser and started to copy files to those machines. In the middle of the copy, after a few minutes, I get the following message: 192.168.1.xx:548 "The file server connection has closed down". 192.168.1.xx is the LAN IP address of the receiving machine. Personal File Sharing is allowed, and file permissions have been given to Others in the receiving folder. Do I need to do authorize something on Port 548 to allow the transfer?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Hi Ralph
I can see where that might be the case, but file transfer worked flawlessly BEFORE I went wireless using the same modem. The only way to unblock ports on my router is to turn NAT off - it creates a DMZ, so it permits unhindered 2-way traffic...
It's a pretty confusing piece of kit. Maybe I should just get a Netgear anyway!
I have a laptop on the wireless network as well, and file transfer works a treat between it and the iMac. All I can think of is that because I'm now working on a LAN, there's a blockage to get out to the "Real World" - even though it's easy for video to pass through.
I'll check my unblocked ports again, just to be sure. I'm unfamilar with the term "Jabber" - is that what Apple decided to call one of the elements of iChat? Excuse my ignorance...!

Network problems since 10.9.2 update

Hi,
I am experiencing a number of problems after my update to 10.9.2 on a mid-2010 Macbook Pro including:
My network printers no longer were reachable. I had to delete them and add them back again.
Airport Utility no longer sees any of my Airport base stations (I have 4).
I cannot access my Time Machine backups that were stored on a disk attached to one of the Airport base stations.
Network attached storage that supports AFP no longer appears in the Devices area of the left banner under the Finder. I still can mount the folders directly through Connect to Server...
I have tried resetting PRAM, restoring OS X from the recovery partition, reinstalling 10.9.2 from the combo updater, and deletion of various plist files related to networking/airport. Nothing seems to work.
I performed the update on a mid-2012 MacBook Air with a very similar configuration (same printers, network) without a hitch.
Anyone see similar symptoms and find a fix?
Thanks.

Not sure this is helpful to you but can't find a better place to provide this solution to a problem I had with the wi fi on my iMac not being recognised by any of my other devices following the upgrade to OS X 10.9.2. After many searches on line and dicussions with Apple support, I realised the problerm was not with the iMac but with my USB internet connection (I live in the country beyong fibre or copper). It was simply that the USB plugin had not been upgraded to deal with 10.9.2. Plugged it into a PC and it automatically upgraded all drivers as it set up to provide internet connection for the PC. Back to the iMac and wi fi is now recognised by all devices. What a trial but also a triumph!

Files deleted over network

Hi, some of users over the network accidentally deleted a folder from XServe, and he asked if it can be recovered, when someone deletes a file/folder over network OSX reports that "the item will be deleted immediately", is this true? it wont going to be stored in some "Network Trash Folder"? or ".Trashes"? or "Temporary Items"??
And if it really wont be recovered, is there a way to prevent this in the future? like to tell OSX Server to put all the files/folders deleted over network to be stored in a special folder for a certain time to prevent loosing important files accidentally or by other users??
Thanks

Bertrand> This seems a nice idea, but its not exactly what i need, people still need to delete files from the server, but sometimes they delete important things and im looking for a way that the OSX Server keeps the remotely deleted file for a certain amount of time so it can be restored if needed. many times users accidentally delete files from the server and hit the "OK" button without noticing they just delete an important file from the server and not from there HD, for example, in Apple Share IP on OS9 if you delete a file over the network it would keep it in the user Trash and he empties it, and if he for example restarted his computer, the file on the ASIP would be stored in "Network Trash Folder".. why the mighty OSX Server doest have this great ability?!
Steve> Tapes is great for backup and archiving, but its not what i am really looking for, it has the same problem i have with Time Machine, time machine wont backup a file copied to the server and accidentally deleted within an hour, so Tapes, wont backup a file copied and deleted within a day..
WelshDog2> just a question: if i dont have any partition on my XRAID, how can i make it backup its self on its own HD's?! is this possible?! it wont solve my problem but its good to know if this can be done..
Thank you all guys for your replies, i really appreciate it..

When upgrading to OSX Yosemite do all my programs and files transfer over such as Office for mac, saved documents from word,excel,pics,pdf files,etc.etc...

Will all my files transfer over (or stay) automatically right after upgrading to Yosemite or do I have to backup every single desired program or document? Question is do I HAVE to please if you can answer if its mandatory or not. Not looking for recommendations that I SHOULD back up or anything like that just want to know if it is mandatory to perform a backup to be able to keep or transfer all my current programs and apps and documents currently on my MB Pro Retina.

Yes, upgrading to Yosemite will not touch your 3rd party apps or files in the Home folder.
Although not mandatory you should have a a backup of your hard drive regardless if you upgrade to Yosemite or not. To not have a backup is just playing Russian roulette as there are only two types of hard drives; those that have failed and those that will.

Wifi problems since 10.5.8 Update. Even after Snow Leopard Upgrade.

Wifi problems since 10.5.8 Update. Even after Snow Leopard Upgrade.
Is there any way to use a 10.5.7 wireless .kext files on Snow Leopard? And where can I find the files?

Ok, I have the fix!! After several frustrating days it finally just works.
The process:
Upgrade your Macs to 10.6 (Snow Leopard)
Powercycle your modem AND time capsule / airport TWICE
Reset your time capsule with a pin or paperclip on the back
Follow the prompts to setup your time capsule / airport access
-- On your Macs
Go to System Preferences > Network > Airport > Advanced > TCP/IP
Click "Renew DHCP Lease" then click "Ok"
Click Apply
Turn off Airport
Turn Airport on
IT WORKS!!!
One of the magical people at tech support walked me through it earlier today. The whole process took about 1.5 hrs because Show Leopard takes about an hour to install on one machine.
Hope this helps-

IChatAV and file transfer over wireless network

Hi there...
I'd like to let you in on my predicament. Firstly, a bit of background.
I decided to buy my folks an old iMac from eBay in Australia - and pay for their broadband connection - so that I could video chat to them from the UK, and they could see my 5 year old son for the first time in 4 years. Cute, eh?
Well, everything was working fine until I decided to go wireless in my home about 3 months ago. I have a static IP address, and purchased a nice new Airport Express to integrate into the system. I allocated my G5 iMac it's own network address (10.0.1.2), and the base station the master address (10.0.1.1). From there, the base station communicates to the router via the static IP... Sound ok?
Anyway - NOW (or, for as long as I can recall), I CANNOT for the life of me send files over the connection. Video chat and audio chat are fine (although OCCASIONALLY it takes a few goes to be able to see THEM on my computer - I think their bandwidth isn't THAT stable at 512Kbps down and 128Kbps up) - however, the correct ports have been unblocked on the OSX firewall AND the Airport Express base station.
And just so that you know it's not the folks' fault - I can't send documents/images over the network to friends I KNOW are competent (or, at least more competent than my parents!). There's always an error message at the receiver's end, and the file I'm attempting to send just times out.
Has anyone any suggestions as to how I might be able to resolve this problem before I expire from old age?!?
Your thoughts are REALLY appreciated!

Problem with file transfer over the net

Hi!I'm trying to make a program that allows to send/receive files and I'm almost done,except for a little problem:the file received has some bytes missing at the end!
For example if I send a text the last 2-3 lines are missing,same thing for an image,an html document,etc.,although the file opens without any problem.As transport-level protocol I'm using TCP so it's not a networking problem,I think the problem is in the application layer so I post here the code,hoping someone helps me out(in this example I'm trying to send an image .jpg):
Sender:
Socket connectionSocket=new Socket("ipadress",port);
FileInputStream source=new FileInputStream(System.getProperty("user.home")+"\\Documents\\image.jpg");
BufferedOutputStream send=new BufferedOutputStream(connectionSocket.getOutputStream());
int c;
while ((c = source.read()) !=-1)
send.write(c1);
Receiver
ServerSocket receiverSocket=new ServerSocket(port);
Socket connection=receiverSocket.accept();
BufferedInputStream rec=new BufferedInputStream(connection.getInputStream());
FileOutputStream receivedFile=new FileOutputStream(System.getProperty("user.dir")+"\\received.jpg");
int c;
while ((c = rec.read()) != -1)
receivedFile.write(c);I think the problem is in this code:somehow the sender stops sending bytes before the end of the file is actually reached...what do u think?

Thank you so much!At the end it was a very stupid mistake!:D
Btw now that the main problem is solved I continue posting asking for your opinion:is this program for you efficient enough?Or there's a better way to do file transfer?

Wi-Fi Share file transfer PlayBook-MacBook problem

Following instructions in KB26068, I set up Wi-Fi Sharing wireless file transfer from my MacBook to my PlayBook, but there is a glitch. When I select a file from a MacBook folder and drag it to the Media icon on the desktop, I get the message:
“One or more items can’t be copied to “media” because you don’t have permission to read them.”
This happens with every file, regardless of type, that I attempt to transfer, even, a Word file I have created myself. I suspect there is a simple switch setting I have to change; can anyone help? Thanks,

No Mac users out there having this problem?

Startup problem since 5/07 security update

I've been having serious problems with startup since the last security update. Startup hangs at the first gray screen or the while screen with the Apple logo. Sometimes multiple restarts get me to the login screen. Safe mode gets me there as well, but the next time I log in the same problem occurs. I have cleaned caches, deleted extensions, deleted fonts, used several shareware programs to clean up my startup files.
Yesterday, when I booted up, a small camera appeared mid-screen with a face alternating with a question mark. The camera blinks back and forth for a long time. Once startup made it to the login screen, but I didn't want to login, since I didn't know what it was. Today I tried to login again. The camera is still there--no surprise--but this time startup is stalled at the gray screen and the fans starts up and runs with no progress.
Any ideas? My iMac has worked perfectly until I did the last security update. I am pretty careful about downloads or opening any unknown files, so I'd be surprised if I have a virus. Others in my family use the iMac, but they're pretty saavy about viruses.
I'm about to reinstall OSX, but want to see if anyone has run into this and found a way around.

Anyone else notice slower network performance since Apple TV 3 update?

Ever since I updated the ATV to the 3 software, my download and "ready to play" times have increased dramatically. Several of the rented HD movies also stalled during playback, something that never happened with the Take 2 software. Noticing no network problems with other connected devices. I connect via Qwest DSL 8Mbit service via an Apple Airport dual band N router (late 2008). Anyone else see this slowdown?
Steve in Spokane

I'm running:
- Mac Mini running iTunes sharing a library with my AppleTV
- AppleTV running 3.0.1
- Time Capsule running the wireless network
Since the last update I've been having significant streaming problems between my iTunes library and the AppleTV. Streaming video was stopping every minute or two, downloading from iTunes Store was very slow, and even basic music streaming was stuttering regularly.
Looking at my Airport Utility client connectivity graph, I noticed that the AppleTV connection was plotting a significantly different line to my other wireless clients on the Time Capsule. Sorry, I'm not a Wireless expert, so won't try to diagnose this graph.
So I tried different wireless channels. I tried removing wireless clients. I tried rebooting all individual components. Nothing changed.
So I plugged in my Airport Express and swapped my AppleTV to a wired connection to the Airport Express operating as a wireless client in a WDS network from my Time Capsule.
Everything now works just fine. No stuttering, not dropouts, fast speeds.
My suggestion is that in the latest software for AppleTV, Apple have broken the Wireless code.

Battery problems since 10.4.3 update?

I know that there a quite a few threads about battery problems, but has anybody experienced significant decreases in battery life after installing the 10.4.3 update? I installed it a few days ago and I'm noticing now that my battery life is much worse than it used to be.
For example, I was just watching a movie on my iBook. Before I started, my battery was FULLY charged, and Energy Saver was set for "Better Battery Life". I had airport turned off and left the screen brightness at default.
My battery died within 40 MINUTES! I had the sound turned up a little bit but I don't think that would drain enough power to reduce my batter life to 40 minutes when set for "better battery life"....
My battery's less than 2 years old.
Anyone else had similar problems since last OS update?

I just found a useful util called CoconutBattery 1.3 available from :
http://www.coconut-flavour.com/coconutbattery/index.html
Running the app - gives me this info on my battery's state:
current & max capacity: 828mAh
Orginial Capacity: 4400mAh
Battery load cycles: 461
The battery according to this app shows that at max charge it only has 18% of its orginial capacity.
