File transfer rate is very bad on my new W520. Help needed....

Hello,
I have a usb 2.0 hi speed flash drive which has transfer rates of 15Mb/s. But When I am trying to copy a movie (under 3 gb) from my W520 to the flash drive the speeds that I observe is 6Mb/s which is very slow. Initially, I though I have an issue with the flash drive but when I used my 3 year old dual core xps laptop to copy a file, I observed the speed of 15 Mb/s. If not high speed atleast I am expecting to see 15Mb/s with my W520. Really wierd!!!
BTW... I am running my W520 at "Maximum Performance" power profile. And I see my clock speed always at less than 1 ghz while copying the file but when i do other stuff i see my clock speed hitting 3.2 ghz....
Any thoughts on whats going on???
My system is Thinkpad w520 2710 with 8 gb of ram....
Thanks

Hi robustm
From what I know, the problem lies with Windows 7 (throttling)
How about copying to USB drives? the speed should be around 30+ - 60MB, depending on the file type also.
1. You could also try updating Intel Chipset driver

2. You could try using SpeedGuide TCP Optimizer, which resolves Network Throttling and Slow file transfer problems for some. (Set as Optimal)
http://www.speedguide.net/downloads.php
3. You could go to Computer Management (compmgmt.msc), Device Manager, Disk drives, double-click your USB device, policies, set as Performance.
* Note: This may require you to Safety Remove the device, due to caching for performance.
Hope it helps
Happy Holiday

How to achieve the maximum file transfer rate from PXI to local host?

I will have to copy a huge amount of data (as big as 50 GB) from a PXI-8106 unit on site to a laptop. Currently it would take several hours. It is critical to max out the data transfer rate.
The standard method we've been using is just drag and drop using Windows Explorer via FTP. I tried to use FTP VIs with Filezilla Server as well but the transfer rate is only like 1.5 MB/s. Is this normal? Once I saw it was 3.0 MB/s but for some reason, that isn't happening now.
For another option, I tried to transfer data to a USB flash drive but it's even slower. As far as I know, USB 2.0 transfer rate is supposed to be around 60 MB/s but why would it be slower than 1.5 MB/s? What could be the speed limiting factor in my file transfer setup?
Any tips on improving file transfer rate would be appreciated!

Sustained 40 MB/s? That is my dream speed! The maximum speed I've ever seen here was about 25 MB/s, which is still very good, and that happened only after copying back and forth, which I explained above. Let me go through what I did with screencaps first.
These are the test tdms files to transfer in the PXI: an original file witten in the PXI and its copy file. I copied the original file from PXI to laptop and renamed it (added '_copy') and then copied it back to PXI.
FTP module is transferring the original file to the Filezilla server on laptop. Note the low speed.
FTP module is transferring the copy file to the Filezilla server on laptop. Note the higher speed.
This is the FTP sub VI I'm using. It transfers files in sub-folders (one level lower), too. The data connection is set to 'passive' on the FTP Put Multiple Files VI but it doesn't seem to make any difference. I attach the sub VI.
You tried the file transfer with a 500 MB text file. Would there be any difference if the file type was tdms? Would the RAM size matter? It is 2GB here.
And the LED is orange, which means Gigabit.
Another question: Is there any way to programmatically stop file transfer in progress? Currently, I just have to restart the PXI.
Thank you!

FTP/SFTP/FISH (etc) slow file transfer rate over LAN

Hi everyone,
I have a problem with transferring files over my home network that has been bothering me for quite some time.
I have a 802.11n router which should provide me with the transfer rate up to 150 Mbps (afaik). When I download files from the Internet, 3 MB/s data transfer rate is of no problem.
However, when receiving or sending data over LAN, the transfer rate is much slower (1.8 MB/s).
My rough guess is (after reading some papers on this topic) that TCP protocol is causing this (its flow control feature to be exact), since TCP max window size is too small on Linux by default.
So, setting TCP max window size to a greater number should solve this.
I tried putting this:
# increase TCP max buffer size setable using setsockopt()
# 16 MB with a few parallel streams is recommended for most 10G paths
# 32 MB might be needed for some very long end-to-end 10G or 40G paths
net.core.rmem_max = 16777216
net.core.wmem_max = 16777216
# increase Linux autotuning TCP buffer limits
# min, default, and max number of bytes to use
# (only change the 3rd value, and make it 16 MB or more)
net.ipv4.tcp_rmem = 4096 87380 16777216
net.ipv4.tcp_wmem = 4096 65536 16777216
# recommended to increase this for 10G NICS
net.core.netdev_max_backlog = 30000
# these should be the default, but just to be sure
net.ipv4.tcp_timestamps = 1
net.ipv4.tcp_sack = 1
in /etc/sysctl.conf but to no avail.
So either there is no problem with the max window size setting, or the Linux kernel ignores it (maybe because /proc is no longer supported?).
Thanks for any neat ideas.

File transfer rate under 10.4.8

Hi,
I am getting a transfer rate of about 8-9MB per sec between MacMini (Core Duo) and MBP using AFP. The Macs are directly connected using Cat 5E cable, and both are set to 1000bit/sec under Networking. Jumbo frame is used.
Both are running 10.4.8, with the latest patches.
It seems that 8-9MB/s is very low when compared to other posts within discussions.apple.com, that, it is typical to get 40-45MB/s under gigabit Ethernet.
Any comments, and results from the same set up?

Thx for your comments.
I've set up a RAM disk in each Mac, and tried copying a 450MB file between them.
Viola! The transfer rate is now ~25MB/s!!! Still ~50% of the *normal* rate, but it is much improved.
OK, the 8-9MB/s rate is the read and write limit of the HD in the Mini. My MBP has a 7200RPM drive, and should not be the bottleneck.
Thx all!

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.

Need Help All Files in ACR look VERY Bad

The best way I can explain it is my RAW file's look like a GIF file. Mostly in the darker tones/shodows of the files. I have run some "process of elimination" tests to try to isolate where the challange is coming from.
1. Raw Files are stll good, I have run them on another computer and the image is great.
2. Moniter and Graphics Card are Fine, I open the RAW file in Picasa 3.0 and images look fin on my P.C
I am currently Ruining Vista 64
I am using
Photoshop 11.0.1
Bridge 3.0.0.464
Lightroom 2.5
ACR 5.5
Any one out there ever run into this challange?
Please Help.

I can't get mine to look bad like yours. With default settings, except Recovery = 100 and Contrast = 100, I still don't see the posterization nor the greens you're seeing, although the colors are a bit strong due to the contrast setting. If you've changed more things than Recovery and maybe Contrast, perhaps post those settings.
Does it look ok in ACR and then just bad in Photoshop or is it bad in ACR the same way?
I wonder if you have a bad monitor profile that only Photoshop is fully utilizing and having issues with? If you're on a calibrated system, you might temporarily setting your monitor profile to sRGB (or maybe AdobeRGB if on a Mac) and see if the Photoshop image changes.
I have attached a yours/mine screen capture showing what I see when I max out Recovery and Contrast in an attempt to duplicate what yours looks like. I have used LR to better document the conversion settings, but I also tried it in ACR 5.5 and Photoshop and don't really see much difference if any...where both should be using the ACR 5.5 engine.

WRT610N Mac & PC - 2mbps wireless LAN file transfer rates

Equipment:
Linksys WRT610N connected to Motorola SB5101 Cable Modem
MacPro Dual Quad Core 3.0GHz XEON with three Western Digital drives set up on RAID 0 using internal Airport 802.11N.
Dell Inspiron 2600 - piece of crap but still get it done with Linksys WPC600N wireless card.
Sony PS3 connected to WRT610N via ethernet cable
DirecTV HR20-100 DVR connected to WRT610N via ethernet cable
Problem is this:
Internet speeds are incredible. LAN speeds are awful.
I was transferring a 914MB folder from the Dell Laptop to my MacPro.
The transfer took 14 minutes. That averages a paltry 2 megabits per second.
The wireless card on the laptop shows around 130mbps with excellent connection strength. My MacPro also is excellent connection. I guess the laptop has a 5400rpm drive. I've been able to stream video to my PS3 from the laptop using my OLD wcg200.
Is there something I can do to speed up the LAN connection? I haven't tried to stream to my PS3 yet. The WCG200 that I had wasn't all that good so I replaced it with the WRT610N. I'm starting to regret my decision.
thank you in advance
WRT610N | WPC600N | Dell Inspiron 2600 -> Win XP | Mac Pro -> OS X 10.4.11, 10.5.4 & Win XP via Parallels

More testing... I built a crossover ethernet cable to directly connect the Dell to my MacPro. The LAN speed was 100mbit due to limitation of the Dell network adapter. Speeds were between 46 and 82mbps. MTU was 1500 MTU at 1300 and 1200 yielded no additional benefit. I disconnected the ethernet cables and went through the WRT610N using my Airport Wireless N and the WPC600N on the Dell. Speeds max'd out at 1 to 2mbps. I must say the Linksys WRT610N isn't playing fair...or am I missing something else in the mix?

A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs
The Knowledgebase article <a href="http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1963?viewlocale=en_US">Intel-based Mac: Some migrated applications may need to be updated</a> refers to methods of dealing with migrating from PowerPC chips to Intel with the Migration Assistant safely. The authors of this tip have not had a chance to verify this works in all instances, or that it avoids the 10.6.1 and earlier Guest Account bug that caused account information to get deleted upon use of the Migration/Setup Assistant. However, a well backed up source that includes at least two backups of all the data that are not connected to your machine will help you avoid potential issues, should they arise. In event it does not work, follow the steps below.
If you are migrating a PowerPC system (G3, G4, or G5) to an Intel-Mac be careful what you migrate. Keep in mind that some items that may get transferred will not work on Intel machines and may end up causing your computer's operating system to malfunction.
Rosetta supports "software that runs on the PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor that are built for Mac OS X". This excludes the items that are not universal binaries or simply will not work in Rosetta:
>Classic Environment, and subsequently any Mac OS 9 or earlier applications
>Screensavers written for the PowerPC
>System Preference add-ons
>All Unsanity Haxies
>Browser and other plug-ins
>Contextual Menu Items
>Applications which specifically require the PowerPC G5
>Kernel extensions
>Java applications with JNI (PowerPC) libraries</li>
See also <a href="http://developer.apple.com/documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/universal_binary/univ ersal_binary_exec_a/chapter_950_section_1.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40002217-CH 210-TPXREF101">What Can Be Translated by Rosetta</a>.
In addition to the above you could also have problems with migrated cache files and/or cache files containing code that is incompatible.
If you migrate a user folder that contains any of these items, you may find that your Intel-Mac is malfunctioning. It would be wise to take care when migrating your systems from a PowerPC platform to an Intel-Mac platform to assure that you do not migrate these incompatible items.
If you have problems with applications not working, then completely uninstall said application and reinstall it from scratch. Take great care with Java applications and Java-based Peer-to-Peer applications. Many Java apps will not work on Intel-Macs as they are currently compiled. As of this time Limewire, Cabos, and Acquisition are available as universal binaries. Do not install browser plug-ins such as Flash or Shockwave from downloaded installers unless they are universal binaries. The version of OS X installed on your Intel-Mac comes with special compatible versions of Flash and Shockwave plug-ins for use with your browser.
The same problem will exist for any hardware drivers such as mouse software unless the drivers have been compiled as universal binaries. For third-party mice the current choices are USB Overdrive or SteerMouse. Contact the developer or manufacturer of your third-party mouse software to find out when a universal binary version will be available.
Also be careful with some backup utilities and third-party disk repair utilities. Disk Warrior 4.1, TechTool Pro 4.6.1, SuperDuper 2.5, and Drive Genius 2.0.2 work properly on Intel-Macs with Leopard. The same caution may apply to the many "maintenance" utilities that have not yet been converted to universal binaries. Leopard Cache Cleaner, Onyx, TinkerTool System, and Cocktail are now compatible with Leopard.
Before migrating or installing software on your Intel-Mac check <a href="http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20060126094146180">MacFixit's Rosetta Compatibility Index</a>.

<a href="http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25773">Transferring data with Setup Assistant - Migration Assistant FAQ</a>
Because Migration Assistant isn't the ideal way to migrate from PowerPC to Intel Macs, using Target Disk Mode, copying the critical contents to CD and DVD, an external hard drive, or networking
will work better when moving from PowerPC to Intel Macs. The initial section below discusses Target Disk Mode. It is then followed by a section which discusses networking with Macs that lack Firewire.
If both computers support the use of Firewire then you can use the following instructions:
1. Repair the hard drive and permissions using Disk Utility.
2. Backup your data. This is vitally important in case you make a mistake or there's some other problem.
3. Connect a Firewire cable between your old Mac and your new Intel Mac.
4. Startup your old Mac in Target Disk Mode.
5. Startup your new Mac for the first time, go through the setup and registration screens, but do NOT migrate data over. Get to your desktop on the new Mac without migrating any new data over.
If you are not able to use a Firewire connection (for example you have a Late 2008 MacBook that only supports USB:)
1. Set up a local home network: <a href="http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1433">Creating a small Ethernet Network</a>.

If you need to transfer data for other applications please ask the vendor or ask in the Discussions where specific applications store their data.
5. Once you have transferred what you need restart the new Mac and test to make sure the contents are there for each of the applications.

File transfer programs and third party software to new i-mac

Hi
I own a I-mac 2.93ghz 24'inch 4gb and have just upgraded to a I-mac 3.9ghz 27inch I-mac 4gb, i run logic pro 9 and reason as well as a load of third party soft synths and plugins how can i transfer them over from my old I-mac to my new model without having to install them all again, i would be grateful for a step by step process if it can be done?

Short answer:No.
you can either:
1. reinstall everything on the new machine,
or
2. at your own risk, use SuperDuper to backup (clone) your old drive onto the new machine, if you are using the same OS.

A very important question about the HostSample-Help needed!

Hi,
I'm trying to build a plugin for EM 12c ( 12.1.0.2 ) which suppose to monitor jmx mbeans .
I encountered during the README file which was packed with the EDK .
1. In the section where I try to use Flash builder ( ver 4.6 - that's the only release I found .. ) I folowed the instructions if how to run the example ( HostSample/HostSystem ) . When I run the example ( I installed the sdk's of Flash and everything that was written there - no problem )
in the web browser i got the login page , and put the parameters ( username, password ) as it said in the README - the same username/password as i log in to the EM console .Than I got an error saying " ... RPC fault string ..... Logging to management server ... URL:https.. host ( my host name ) : port ( my port number ) /em..."
Does anyone has a clue about this ? What am i doing wrong or miss something ?
It is very important and urgent to me . please help .

To add a bit more detail. Before you run the application from FlashBuilder, open the same browser you will use to run/debug the application in FlashBuilder and install certificate.
Firefox:
. when the "This Connection is Untrusted" warning appears
. expand the "I Understand the Risks" item
. click the "Add Exception..." button
. on the "Add Security Exception" dialog, ensure "Permanently store this exception" is checked
. click "Confirm Security Exception" button
IE:
. when the "Certificate Error: Navigation Blocked" page appears, click "Continue to this website (not recommended)"
. click on the "Certificate Error" icon in the browser address bar
. in the "Untrusted Certificates" popup, click "View Certificates"
. click on the "Certification Path" tab of the "Certificate" dialog
. select the root certificate (certificate at the root of the tree)
. click "View Certificate..." button
. click "Install Certificate..." on the "Certificate" dialog that appears
. click "Next" on the "Certificate Import Wizard"
. select "Place all certificates in the following store" button and click "Browse..."
. select "Trusted Root Certification Authorities" on the "Select Certificate Stores" dialog and click "OK"
. click "Next" button, and then "Finish" button
. click "Yes" on "Security Warning" dialog that appears
The other alternative is to enable http access using "emctl secure unlock". This is not recommended for a production site.

New User Help Needed Formatting External HD in MS-DOS for PC file migration

I have files on my PC and planned on putting them on a new external HD to transfer to the iMac.
I have a new MiniStack V3 external HD with USB and Firewire connections. It comes formatted for the Mac.
I want to format the HD on the iMac to MS-DOS so I can connect it to my PC; pull off my files; and reconnect to the Mac; pull over the files; and then reformat the external HD for the Mac.
Going into the disk utility I gathered the Erase tab is how you reformat. Only Mac OS choices are available for the format type. *How do you format the disc for Mac OS on the Mac???*

minimejdh,
First, select the drive (not the named volume that will appear indented underneath), then switch to the Partition pane. Click the "Options..." button and choose the "GUID Partition Scheme," then partition the drive with a single partition.
Now you can select the named volume, switch to the "Erase" pane, and choose MS-DOS.
That said, you might want to consider using your PC to format the drive using the NTFS format. FAT-32 (the MS-DOS format) has a 4 GB file size limitation, and it is possible that some of the files you wish to transfer exceed this limit (I'm sure you would know better than we). Your iMac will have no trouble accessing the drive and NTFS format, but it will be as read-only. Since you will be formatting it again with the Mac, using HFS+ (Mac OS Extended), you won't need write access to the drive.

IDOC to file....bpm or without bpm...help needed..

Hi XI friends,
its IDOC to file Scenario..
its daily scheduling report..if we run that report.....Number IDOCs are generated in SAP..
we have 5 legacy systems..
for one legacy systems file type is .txt file and for remaining xml files..
the catagarization based on one of the field in IDOC..
if that field is 01 the file type should be .txt file

in this case BPM will be required to collect the IDOCs ref: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/08/16163ff8519a06e10000000a114084/content.htm
base the correlation on the field that contains the value 01
also then later using XPATH in your receiver det. you can check for the value and route the message to the particular receiver as u want to

Oops! Didn't transfer itunes library when I got a new PC Help?

Bought a new PC in dec 2005 and didn't back up Itunes library. Now I have a new library on the new PC and, after lots of hassle every time I connect Ipod (4th Gen) to PC it shows my Ipod Library as a separate Library. I now have to manually drag and drop tunes onto Ipod from the new Library. I don't know how to get the PC instantly connecting Ipod and automatically transferring any newly added sounds. Additionally, sometimes Itunes doesn't even recognise when my Ipod is connected which means I have to unistall/reinstall software.

I had that SAME issue...when I evacuated New Orleans, I brought my I-Pod, but left my desktop computer at home! Needless to say, the computer is shot from the 10 feet of flood waters. I had a laptop for school and it was not recognizing/updating my I-Pod! It would not even show up in I-Tunes! My brother purchased Tune Transfer (about 20 bucks) and it transfered all my music from my I-Pod onto my laptop. Same with all his music. Only problem was, you would have to import each song individually. But if you still have your old computer, all you would have to do is make data CDs and transfer them to your new computer. Make sure your I-Pod is updated and you have the latest I-Pod updater as well and the latest version of I-Tunes. It is good that your I-Pod is showing up in I-Tunes...when it is connected click edit, then preferences, then the I-Pod tab, then the music tab, then automatically update all songs and playlists. That should do it! It worked for me and it should work for you! If you have any other questions, don't hesistate to ask!
