Files in cd start to disappear when copying them

Hello, was wondering if you could help me...
Everytime I start to copy files from a cd/dvd, the disappear mid way, and I have to eject and re-insert the cd to keep copying them...
Anyone know why and what I can do about this?
Powerbook G4, 15 inch, 1.67 mhz, 2 Gg Ram Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I have a similar problem.
Here is my scenario:
I have shared a home folder for users on a Windows 2003 R2 server.
I have mapped users to this folder in my Active Directory accounts by going to the Profile tab for the user, and specifying my Windows host and drive letter Z under the Home Folder connect option (Connect Z: to \\server.domain.com\home\%username%)
This works, and it automounts on my macs that are connected via the Active Directory option in Directory Services.
However, when I create a folder for the first time, or copy files, they just disappear.
They are NOT deleted. The show up on the Windows side and I can see them. When I log out and back in, everything works fine, and as it should be.
Apparently empty directories for SMB shares seem to cause finder/terminal/smb on macs not to see newly created/dragged/moved/copied files/folders.
I've also verified that the permissions are set properly, and that the current user has read/write access. Nothing fixes this until a file/folder ALREADY exists, and you eject & re-connect, or until you re-login.
That's just my scenario, but they sound similar.
Solution: create a file called .empty and put it in the ROOT of the users folders.
That's what I will do. It *****, and I hope Apple fixes this issue. But we all know how responsive they are.
If anyone else has a better solution, or knows why SMB is acting this way, please let the rest of us in on it! Thanks,
-Josh

Lately in Acrobat Pro Ver 9 for Win 7 the menu bar (File, Edit, View, Document etc) disappears when I move the window . . only happens when I have a pdf file open . . everything worked fine until a few days ago . . F9 fixes the problem until I move the window again . . I realize my version is old so I tried tried downloading XI reader and having the same issue . . any help would be appreciated

Hi Ernestprinter,
Check if you have multiple Java versions installed on your computer.
Try clean boot http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135
Also i would suggest uninstall security software and install it back.
Currently you may use F9 key to restore Menu bar.

Images disappear when copying sheets

Hello,
In MS Excel 2010 I have a file with some data and images on it. This file's being used to make approximately 150 reports weekly. It has worked fine for quite some time, but all of a sudden problems started to occur today.
When I copy the sheet to another workbook, the data, formulas and formatting are copied properly, but the images seem to disappear (it makes no difference whether it's copied to a new file or a already existing file). This problem
occurs on systems with Win7, Excel 2010 (both 32 and 64 bits). Copying the file manually or with VBA both result in this problem.
The problem seems to be caused by the (security?) updates of today (december 9). On one system the problems occured after the installation of the updates. On another system the file worked properly until the moment the updates were installed (so halfway
the repetition of the proces it suddenly went wrong).
Does anyone know wheter this problem is indeed being caused by the update? Is there a way in wich I can work around this problem en get my images copied with the sheet?

The problem can be solved when using the answers given in the thread with the title "Excel 2010 macros does not work after updates 9.Dec.2014" postetd on

Podcasts disappear when copying to device/folder

If I highlight a file and drag or copy to my SD card sometimes but not always the file will say it has been deleted. The exclamation mark says the original file could not be found. The file is lost.

1. Do you have adequate cache space? Is it on C drive, or a dedicated drive or partition? If it is nearly full that could cause problems.
        - 35 GB available on C: using a centralized cache in default location
2. Compact the cache. That will get rid of all unmached files and thumbnails, and reduce its size.
        - I have no option in Bridge to compact the cache that I can find - either in the preferences or from the cache menu (I am using Bridge CS2 with Photoshop CS2)
3. Delete temp file with a product like cclean
        - What temp file? I have used CCleaner on numerrous occassions for cleaning up but only recall some files located in a   \CameraRaw\cache location
4. Go to a folder that has problems. Then go to Tools/cache/purge cache for xxx folder
        - Did this many times - does not fix problem.
5. Close program then restart and see if problems are still there in xxx folder
         - same as #4 - opened and closed Bridge and Photoshop many times trying to purge and rebuild. still broken.
6. Open Windows Explorer and look at thumbnails. Look at contents of each folder closely and see if any do not have a thumbnail. That would indicate you have corrupted files there or bad suffix. Figure out what it is and fix or delete
     - The files are all okay - Windows Explorer displays thumbnails and I have no problem using Adobe Lightroom and working on any of the files.

How do I keep table relations from Numbers when copying them to Pages ?

I have two tables within Numbers (because I need two different formats) and have connected them with a formula in Numbers. This works fine.
But when I copy the two tables to a Pages document, the link between the tables is broken, i.e. if I modify a value in table 1, the corresponding value in table 2 is not modified.
What can I do to keep the link between the tables inside Pages ?
Bernhard

Question asked and answered many times.
There is no link between tables in Pages.
Build your complete document in a Numbers Sheet and the problem will be solved.

When I bought a new laptop and copied my entire itunes library onto my new computer, alot of my songs won't play and say "file could not be found". When I got to the itunes media folder songs I am looking for aren't there.

Some of the songs that "can not be located" are songs that I have purchased from Itunes and when I right click on the album and go to "show in itunes store" the album shows up as purchased but there is not an option to re-downlaod it to my library again. Also, ALL of the albums that I already owned and brought into Itunes say the files "cannot be located". Please help.

Copy them the correct way.
Close iTunes on both computers.
Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder for the old computer to the new computer.
Open iTunes on the new computer. Everything in iTunes will be exactly as it was on the old computer.
FYI, marking your own additional comments as "This solved my question" is a good way to get the post ignored.

Does OS X corrupt files when copying from SD card to desktop?

Using finder to copy a folder and its files from SD card to mac desktop seems to cause *some* files to be corrupted, specifically a handful of MP4 files from a FAT32 SD card which was used in a digital camera. Using a binary/hex comparison tool reveals that some segments of the files contents were modified when copied from the SD card.
This error occurs when copying multiple files using Finder windows. However, when copying the same files one at a time, the corruption does not occur. This appears to be an OS level bug. In reviewing past content, I found that dozens of MP4 files have been corrupted in the past 4 months by merely copying the files from the SD card to mac desktop using Finder copy/paste.
I am using OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.3

Well, like I said, the byte size in fact did *not* change. So I'm not even concerned about that. What *did* change is the content of those bytes and it doesn't matter what operating system you are using, the content of those bytes is *not* supposed to change.
Also, like I said before, if I copy the individual file (MP4) insead of the entire folder, and then do the binary/hex comparison, the byte data is identical. i.e.
a) copying one file at a time produces an *identical* file on the HD, i.e. the byte count AND the byte content are precisely the same.
b) copying a folder with multiple files produces a *different* file on the HD, i.e. the byte count is the same BUT the byte content differs from the original file.

CS4 + CS5 Brush CURSOR outline disappear when increase the brush size

Hi
In Photoshop CS4 and CS5, the outline of the brush cursor starts to disappear when you increase the brush size.
It's OK under 65px in diameter and it's start to disappear over 66px. In 438px the outline is a single dot and over 439px the cursor outline is completely gone!
I read that it's caused by the old drivers for the video card. I'm using GeForce 8800GT and I updated the driver with the latest version form the nVidia web site. The problem is still here!
HELP?

I'm seeing a bit of a pattern of multiple people reporting problems with nVidia 8800 cards. I'm thinking nVidia isn't testing new drivers against this particular model very intensively. See my comments on video cards and drivers in this thread:

How do you remove files from your start up disk without deleting any files?, How do you remove files from your start up disk without deleting any files?

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone knew how to remove files from the start up disk without deleting any files?
I am unable to add any more photos and even download the latest updates because the start up disk is full....
Is it possible to move the files off the start up disk without deleting them?
I would appreciate feedback,
Thanks
Sammy

Well you can move them to an external drive but this will delete them from the internal drive. Which is what you have to do to free up disk space.

ITunes Library.itl keeps disappearing when iTunes starts

I just updated to iTunes 10.8.0.40. Now my iTunes Library.itl file keeps disappearing.
When iTunes starts, I get a message that says, "The iTunes Library.itl file cannot be found or created. The default location for this file is in the "iTunes" folder inthe "Music" folder."
I copy a backup from the "Previous iTunes Library" folder and then iTunes will start. However, the file disappears again as iTunes is starting. Right after it disappears, iTunes displays a message that says, "Checking iTunes Library..." followed by "Updating iTunes Library..." Then I get a message that says, "The iTunes Library file cannot be saved. A folder was specified instead of a file."
The process repeats endlessly. How do I stop iTunes from deleting the iTunes Library.itl file as it starts?

I fixed this by removing iTunes and installing MediaMonkey. Most of the music I have in iTunes has been ripped from my CDs and MediaMonkey found all of those MP3's within a couple minutes. The last time I had to rebuild my iTunes database, it took two days because I couldn't figure out how to stop it from analyzing the volume. The few albums that I bought through iTunes, I will burn to a CD and re-rip. Despite the name, MediaMonkey seems to be a much better program for managing music and runs significantly faster on my little HP mini.
This is the fourth and last time I'm dealing with the problem of iTunes deleting my database. Good riddance iTunes.

i am using for first time the time machine and an external hard drive because I want to erase my macbook and start from zero files. Am i keeping my files in the portable hard disk when I will connect it again with the macbook or the time machine will erase all?
I would like to know if after I erase all my data, empy hard drive inside the macbook, the time machine will erase all my files that I have saved in my "WD "My passport" external hard drive

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Time Machine has to erase the external disk in order to make backups. Before setting Time Machine up, copy the files of your external disk to the hard disk of the Mac in order not to lose them, and then, set up Time Machine. The first backup will start automatically.
If you want more information about Time Machine, read the Pondini's site > http://pondini.org

Error Message when copying music files to Nano

When copying an album to the Nano, I receive and error message with 4 songs left to copy off of the album. Error states: Attempting to copy to the disk "IPOD" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to. With 4 songs left to copy
I have only used approx. 344.8 MB of memory. I tried resetting the Nano and then also deleting album and recopying and the same files back. Nothing seems to work, please help!

If you want to use large files you have to reformat it. It will erase any data that is on the drive, If the drive will be used only with OSX, format it as Mac Extended (HFS+) Journaled with the GUID partition table.
Start Disk Utility (Utilities Folder). Select the drive in the left column (be sure to select the drive, all the way at the left, not the volume indented below it). Select the "Partition" tab. Set "Volume Scheme" to "1 Partition". Click the "Options" button. Select "GUID Partition Table". Click the "OK" button. Enter the volume name and click the "Apply" button.

Finder issues when copying large amount of files to external drive

When copying large amount of data over firewire 800, finder gives me an error that a file is in use and locks the drive up. I have to force eject. When I reopen the drive, there are a bunch of 0kb files sitting in the directory that did not get copied over. This is happens on multiple drives. I've attached a screen shot of what things look like when I reopen the drive after forcing an eject. Sometime I have to relaunch finder to get back up and running correctly. I've repaired permissions for what it's worth.
10.6.8, by the way, 2.93 12-core, 48gb of ram, fully up to date. This has been happening for a long time, just now trying to find a solution

Scott Oliphant wrote:
iomega, lacie, 500GB, 1TB, etc, seems to be drive independent. I've formatted and started over with several of the drives and same thing. If I copy the files over in smaller chunks (say, 70GB) as opposed to 600GB, the problem does not happen. It's like finder is holding on to some of the info when it puts it's "ghost" on the destination drive before it's copied over and keeping the file locked when it tries to write over it.
This may be a stretch since I have no experience with iomega and no recent experience with LaCie drives, but the different results if transfers are large or small may be a tip-off.
I ran into something similar with Seagate GoFlex drives and the problem was heat. Virtually none of these drives are ventilated properly (i.e, no fans and not much, if any, air flow) and with extended use, they get really hot and start to generate errors. Seagate's solution is to shut the drive down when not actually in use, which doesn't always play nice with Macs. Your drives may use a different technique for temperature control, or maybe none at all. Relatively small data transfers will allow the drives to recover; very large transfers won't, and to make things worse, as the drive heats up, the transfer rate will often slow down because of the errors. That can be seen if you leave Activity Monitor open and watch the transfer rate over time (a method which Seagate tech support said was worthless because Activity Monitor was unreliable and GoFlex drives had no heat problem).
If that's what's wrong, there really isn't any solution except using the smaller chunks of data which you've found works.

Error message -36 when copying large files from Firewire drive

I have kept several large audio files as backup on an external LaCie Firewire drive. When trying to copying them back, almost all of them starts to copy, then stops and (after a minute or so) report error message -36.
I have run both Apple's Disktools and the latest Diskwarrior, but no errors are reported. I gues the audio files must have become corrupted... What do you suggest that I do? The contain valuable audio information that I really don't want to get lost.
