File transfer trouble

i am trying to transfer my files form my old macbook, to my new macbook pro, and it has been going for 4 hours and still has 1 hour and 34 minutes to go, i went to dinner an hour and a half ago and when i left, it had 1 hour and 34 minutes to go, help? it has made no progress considering it started four hours ago saying it had 2 hours remaining

I am using an ethernet cable, they are both the regular size macbook, and the old one is 2008-2009 and the new one is 2012-2013 macbook pro and im not sure how much data but i have a lot of music and a lot of papers for school and a fair amount of pictures

Stuck in file transfer mode?

I recently bought a NOkia 5310 express music phone, and I'm trying to copy some songs onto it. Whenever I try to get it set up to copy the music it says that my phone is "in file transfer mode, and cannot be use with pc suite, quit file transfer mode from the phone if you want to use the phone with pc suite". I have no idea what file transfer mode is, or how to get out of it. anyone have any idea?

Hi,
First of all, it doesn't matter if you choose the option of "PC Suite" or "Media". It works both way when all you want to do is to transfer music. I personally wouldn't choose "Media". Somehow for my N97, my Messenging will switch back from mass memory to phone memory and it is really annoying. At times when I choose "Media", my computer says that the USB is connected in non-compatible mode etc.
One thing I notice too is that my music player would be "hanged" if connected via USB. Nothing we can do. To listen to your music using your phone, I reckon you have to stop the USB connection. So that is normal.
Using menu setting to PC Suite saves you the trouble of having to select the mode EVERYTIME. So, that too is a good choice.
Let's forget about OVI Player for a moment. After you plug in your phone, if you start the PC Suite, you should see that your phone is detected. If not, try reconnect the cable, try using PC Suite to connect to the phone (there is a button to do that I remember if the phone is not detected). If still cannot, like my friend, you will probably need to reinstall the latest firmware via Nokia Care Store.
Let's say your PC Suite application can detect your phone, you may wish to see if you can transfer the music. You may wanna do one testing here. Open up the File Manager from your PC Suite. Transfer the songs manually, then do a refresh at your Music Library of your phone. You should see the tracks. If yours is a Comes With Music like mine, you can get the licence over the air. Once that is done, I suppose you should be able to transfer the music files via your OVI Player. While, it is tedious, but that was how it works for me.
I wish Nokia is easier on us, but it is not. Sorry.

Incoming file transfer problem

Whenever I accept a file transfer from a friend, iChat freezes up and the rainbow wheel shows up. After a few seconds, my whole computer becomes agonizingly slow. Just switching between apps or waiting for the dock to appear can take around 5 seconds. I have to force quit iChat and wait for my computer to calm down a bit before opening iChat back up. After I re-open it, I'm able to accept the file transfer immediately without trouble. However if I accept a file transfer later on, the same problem occurs.
I've looked around, but haven't been able to find any information about this problem. Help is much appreciated.

In iChat > Preferences > Accounts > Server Settings what port is iChat logging on to the AIm servers with ?
If it is port 5190 log out of AIM and try port 443

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.

"Windows - No Disk" error message on file transfer

Hello!
I updated our ZDM7 server from plain old ZDM7 with no updates to ZDM7 SP1
IR1. Now, when initiating File Transfer operation with any workstation, up
comes this error message:
"Windows - No Disk"
"Exception Processing Message c0000013 Parameters 75b6bf9c 4 75b6bf9c 75b6bf9c"
[Cancel] [Try Again] [Continue]
If I click "Continue" 4 times, file transfer starts up successfully.
Any ideas about how to get rid of this annoying message?

UCMA 4 and back to backing a file transfer request

OK, I know that file transfer isn't technically supported on UCMA 4.0, but I wanted to take another look at it and see whether there was a way to b2b a file transfer request. After all, there's no reason that it shouldn't work if the messaging is correct,
right? The scenario I have is A <-b2b-> app <-b2b->B. I have an IM conversation going on between A and B, so now I'm trying to set it up so that A can send a file to B.
So far I've extended the platform to accept file transfer requests by creating my own call and factory classes, and then registering them using RegisterPlatformExtension. This means that when A sends a file, the INVITE gets delivered to my application.
Now I'm taking that INVITE and creating a new b2b call. A file transfer request looks something like this:
TL_INFO(TF_PROTOCOL) [0]16A8.4B28::02/10/2015-19:53:05.007.001d492f (SIPStack,SIPAdminLog::ProtocolRecord::Flush:ProtocolRecord.cpp(265))[3939761282] $$begin_record

I've got my b2bed invite looking almost identical to the original invite by creating a custom MIME type on the CallEstablishOptions for the back to back call using something like this:
Regex r = new Regex(@"^((.|\n)*)(\<request)((.|\n)*)(request\>)((.|\n)*)$");
Match m=r.Match(args.RequestData.GetMessageBodyString());
content=string.Format("Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable\r\n{0}{1}{2}",m.Groups[3],m.Groups[4],m.Groups[6]);
opt.CustomMimeParts.Add(new MimePartContentDescription(new ContentType("application/ms-filetransfer+xml"),System.Text.ASCIIEncoding.UTF8.GetBytes(content)));
opt.CustomMimeParts[0].ContentDispositionHeader = new SignalingHeader("Content-Disposition", "render; handling=optional");
So far the only differences I can see in my outbound message vs the original SDP are that the Content-Transfer-Encoding might not be seen as a header (since the SignalingHeaders property on the MimePartContentDescription is read only), and the Content-Transfer-Encoding
on the first MIME part (created by the BackToBackCall) is missing (even though I specified it on the PassThroughHeaders). Even with all of this though, I still get a 488 on client B when I attempt the transfer (even though the invite goes through).
What I'm wondering though, is whether there's any way at all to get this working the way I'd expect, where a file gets transferred directly between A and B, without my bot having to receive it first. The other approach I've looked at is binding my
own media provider class to customize the SDP, but if this MIME part approach isn't going to work, then I have a feeling the media provider won't work either.
Any suggestions on where to look next?
Thanks!
Chris

Chris,
I am trying to do something similar to this and from what I have read and in talking to MS is that you need to extend the Call and Flow class which it looks like you have been able to do. Could I bother you to share what you have written? Maybe we can help
each other out on this. I am basically trying to create an application that will be able to capture a file transfer and save it, then send the original request on to the intended recipient.
Thanks in advance,
Anthony

MBP (mid-2009) freezing, slow installations and file transfer

I bought the latest MacBook Pro model and installed Snow Leopard on a cleanly formatted hard drive. I have tried migrating via ethernet and FireWire from my iMac, but the migrations failed either due to freezing (via FireWire after roughly 24 hours of file transfer) or by an error message (ethernet with Migration Assistant).
Only through a Time Machine backup was I able to transfer my account files to the MBP, which again totaled at over 20 hours of transferring. The system was a mess, clogged constantly by freezing and spinning beach balls of death for durations lasting around 10-20 seconds during which music would clip after 5-10 seconds of everything not responding, this being accentuated especially during installations. I decided to format and try anew.
Now I've formatted the hard drive, installed Snow Leopard and will transfer my files manually onto a clean account. Installations take a long time although SL installation is within 30 minutes, iLife took 1.5 hours to install 5 GB. During the installation Safari stopped responding, as did the entire system, and the spinning beach ball would keep spinning. Watching a 480p trailer in Quicktime made the entire computer freeze up (no video/audio) for 10 seconds halfway. Transferring 136 GB (my Music folder) will take around 15 hours according to the estimate after 10 minutes of transferring.
I've sold my iMac now and all I have are the files on my external hard drive. I want to get them onto my MBP ASAP but the slowness is preventing me from doing what needs to be done and it's very frustrating. When I try to boot into Hardware Testing by holding D down the computer doesn't do it no matter what (Application DVD in or not, plugged into power or not). I've tried resetting PRAM but I get the same inaction.
Any ideas?
Edit: I've done Disk Utility to no avail, it finds nothing wrong.

Installed, still getting freezes with spinning beach balls. Transfer says it would take 1 hour opposed to that 15 hours, but it stops transferring after X amount of gigabytes (from 0.5 to 5), not do anything for a while and then continue, stretching the estimate to over 2 hours after some time. I don't know if this is just with the hard drive.
The freeze-ups are frustrating as **** and make for a very poor experience. Any ideas to get to the bottom of this? I still haven't been able to boot into the Hardware Test no matter how much I try.

File transfer: AFP vs FTP

Setup:
Cable modem to Linksys WRT54g broadcasting only in G only mode for PBG4.
AEBSn#1 in bridge mode via Ethernet from Linksys, N only mode, broadcasting wirelessly.
AEBSn#2 is wirelessly extending N-only from AEBSn#1, and is connected to a mini with external hard drive.
Using PBG4, if I mount a volume from the mini and transfer a file, transfer time is very slow: approx. 20 minutes for a 200MB file. If I FTP from PBG4 into the mini, transfer time is 2 minutes.
(I think the same happens if I use a Macbook Pro connected to the N-only network, but it's in for repairs right now, so I can't be sure.)
Any idea why the transfer times are so different b/w AFP and FTP and, more importantly, what I can do to remedy this? Thanks.

Same problem here. I have two AEBS Gigabit in bridge mode. Transfering a file via FTP or with Apple Remote Access (ARD) brings up to 3 MB/sec. Same file and same configuration connected via AFP only brings 60 kB/sec.
I hope somebody has an idea how to fix this.
Thanks in advance

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!

How do you install CS5 onto a new computer without Time Machine/file transfer

I'm not getting a new computer, but my current one is getting a little old (Macbook Pro V. 10.6.8) and I'm afraid it might crash if I download the newest Maverick system, which is why I want to make absolutely sure I'm able to save and transfer all my old files and CS5 Creative Suite programs if this indeed happens. I don't trust Time Machine to do it; my boss had this happen and Time Machine did not transfer the Adobe programs. I also don't want to rely on Time Machine and any other file transfer (which all new Macs offer) because I've had brand new computers crash because of old corrupt files from my old computer converting over, and the Apple people said it's a bad idea (which would have been nice to know BEFORE the computer crashed and everything. . .) I've been told you can only use the CD to install CS5 onto your computer twice, which I've already done (thanks to my brand new computer crashing once already). So I would like to know how it's possible to install the program onto a new computer should this one crash, without the use of file transfer or Time Machine. I have no interest in upgrading to CC.
Thanks!

Avoid using Time Machine for re-installing Adobe software. It rarely works and usually breaks the activation mechanism.
I've been told you can only use the CD to install CS5 onto your computer twice,
Not quite.
You can install the software as many times as you like but you can only activate the software for use on a maximum of two computers at the same time.
To re-install you will need your CS5 serial number.
Download the installer from Download CS5 products
Install then enter your serial number when prompted.

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.

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.
