Finder loses files while copying to share

Hi!
I have a problem with copying files from my MacBook Pro to Network Shares with smb.
e.g. I try to copy 300 files to a network share that is published with smb. After the copying is finished there are only 60 files on the share, however Mac OSX says everything was successful. The files that are missing are always different ones, it's random.
So I just have to copy them again, and again, and again and after the 10th attempt maybe all files got transfered to the share.
In the console I find lots of entries like:
/System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/MacOS/Finder[178] getattrscore: EINVAL from getattrlist() getting {27c60a, 0, 4, 3600, 0} at /Volumes/pictures$/USA/CIMG2826.JPG

Can someone help me? That is really anoying and you can never be sure if all files really got copied.
best regards
Stefan

what was your previous osx? if it was 10.4.10 and you upgraded should be fine but if you upgraded from say, 10.4.5 to 10.4.11 using the 10.4.11 updater, this could be the problem.
If going from 10.4.5-10.4.11 you need to download and install the 10.4.11 COMBO installer - this bridges the gap from .5-.11
also make sure its ppc/intel
i myself have recently gone from .4-.11 with no problems at all. slowing, stuttering of the finder and computer in general is normal for exhchanging files with external sources however, completely freezing is not.
You could also try repairing disc permissions - utilities>disk utility> click on mac hdd (number not name|) and click 'repair permissions' its worth doing this as soon as you update the osx

  • Finder moving files not copying

    I have been using a mac for over 15 years but this one has me stumped.
    When coping files I have always held down 'option' to copy the file. A small green plus symbol appears and the files then copy into the target folder, or hard drive.
    I have a Mac Pro, with the latest updates of Yosemite .... but now the files are moving and NOT copying.
    So when I back something up, they are no longer in the original location, only where i have copyied them to. They disappear.
    Should I be using cut and paste instead? Anyone else have this problem?

    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.

  • Network View of Finder "Loses File" until reboot.

    This one has got me scratching my head. We run workstations authenticated by an Mac OS X 10.3 server, that access files on a Linux NFS file server. All directories for users are automounted, including home. We have automounts for a Public directory AND home directories that exist on the same Linux volume.
    This had worked trouble free until our workstations were upgraded from Panther to Tiger. Then we started getting occasional hiccups, where a person would be saving a file to a Public directory (generally from a CAD program, though not always) and all of a sudden, Finder would report the file couldn't be found and not allow the save. The user can save to Desktop (which is Network mounted) or even to another folder in the Public directory-- just not to the directory that was being worked in. Restarting finder will not report the correct contents of said directory. Only a reboot will fix the issue.
    I have tried changing from TCP NFS to UDP NFS and back, I have turned off Spotlight on all the workstations, I have applied all updates, and nothing seems to cure the problem. There is nothing in any log on the workstations recording any connectivity or finder problem, nor is there any indication of problems in the server logs. I have done an fsck on the server volume to check for corruption, and it has reported being clean (twice).
    This issue only seems to hit one or two random people on average once a day. There is no regularity in pattern, work being done or user. The only common thread is this behavior did not occur on Panther.
    I'm stumped. Any ideas?

    Hi rcarlson,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    What haapens if you take a file that is not working and change the file name when you save it, will it then save to the networked volume?
    I have heard of a similar issue where saving to the desktop or changing the file name works fine.
    Once the file was saved (using Tiger's OS), any further saves were without issues.
    The problem may have more to do with the files and not the computer, I can't say for sure. Please give this a try and report back what happens.
    Thank you.

  • Where is the temporary file while copying a pdf to the Clipboard?

    When one does a Ctrl+A/Ctrl+C with a very large pdf, the Clipboard does not get populated until the progress bar completes. Where are the bytes going during the interim?

    Thanks for your answer. Sorry for using the wrong term (streaming v. progressive), but my basic question still remains: WHERE then is the progressive temp file stored on my Mac (even if it can't be opened)?

    Hi John,
    Hope there is nothing wrong with the update.
    Yesterday, Our developers were troubleshooting the issue with the builds and found that
    Build Activities dll has the reference of LibGit2Sharp.dll
    version 01.12.0.3051.0.  After TFS upgrade, Build activities does not have a reference for the new version of
    LibGit2Sharp.dll [required] which has caused the issue in the build process.

    Resolution: New version of LibGit2Sharp.dll
    was added and referenced to Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Build.Activities.dll
    which has resolved the issue with the builds.
    I think this should be referenced somewhere regarding TFS Update 4 so that everyone will be able to spot the issue and fix the issue without any issues.

    I tried going back to the gmail settings to ensure the trash settings were set to SHOW and SHOW IN IMAP, and I unchecked "Store deleted messages on the server" for the gmail account in the mail.app, as I was also getting messages about not being able to move messages to trash(null), and I thought that might be the issue, but while that fixed the mail issue, it did not fix the Time Machine issue.
    Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

    The TC in and of itself is running ok.. otherwise you would not have internet.. so the issue is the OS in the computer.. however the combo is worse than the sum of the parts.. ie Somehow TC is less reliable with Yosemite than it would otherwise be..
    here is the normal fix list.. but it is far from foolproof.
    Factory reset universal
    Power off the TC.. ie pull the power cord or power off at the wall.. wait 10sec.. hold in the reset button.. be gentle.. power on again still holding in reset.. and keep holding it in for another 10sec. You may need some help as it is hard to both hold in reset and apply power. It will show success by rapidly blinking the front led. Release the reset.. and wait a couple of min for the TC to reset and come back with factory settings. If the front LED doesn’t blink rapidly you missed it and simply try again. The reset is fairly fragile in these.. press it so you feel it just click and no more.. I have seen people bend the lever or even break it. I use a toothpick as tool.
    N.B. None of your files on the hard disk of the TC are deleted.. this simply clears out the router settings of the TC.
    Setup the TC again.
    ie Start from a factory reset. No files are lost on the hard disk doing this.
    Then redo the setup from the computer with Yosemite.
    1. Use very short names.. NOT APPLE RECOMMENDED names. No spaces and pure alphanumerics.
    eg TCgen5 and TCwifi for basestation and wireless respectively.
    Even better if the issue is more wireless use TC24ghz and TC5ghz with fixed channels as this also seems to help stop the nonsense. But this can be tried in the second round.
    2. Use all passwords that also comply but can be a bit longer. ie 8-20 characters mixed case and numbers.. no non-alphanumerics.
    3. Ensure the TC always takes the same IP address.. you will need to do this on the main router using dhcp reservation.. or a bit more complex setup using static IP in the TC. But this is important.. having IP drift all over the place when Yosemite cannot remember its own name for 5 min after a reboot makes for poor networking. If the TC is main router it will not be an issue.
    4. Check your share name on the computer is not changing.. make sure it also complies with the above.. short no spaces and pure alphanumeric.. but this change will mess up your TM backup.. so be prepared to do a new full backup. Sorry.. keep this one for second round if you want to avoid a new backup.
    5. Mount the TC disk in the computer manually.
    In Finder, Go, Connect to server from the top menu,
    Type in SMB://192.168.0.254 (or whatever the TC ip is which you have now made static. As a router by default it is 10.0.1.1 and I encourage people to stick with that unless you know what you are doing).
    You can use name.. SMB://TCgen5.local where you replace TCgen5 with your TC name.. local is the default domain of the TC and doesn't change.
    However names are not so easy as IP address.. nor as reliable. At least not in Yosemite they aren't. The domain can also be an issue if you are not plugged or wireless directly to the TC.
    6. Make sure IPv6 is set to link-local only in the computer. For example wireless open the network preferences, wireless and advanced / TCP/IP.. and fix the IPv6. to link-local only.
    There is a lot more jiggery pokery you can try but the above is a good start.. if you find it still unreliable.. don't be surprised.
    You might need to do some more work on the laptop itself. eg Reset the PRAM.. has helped some people. Clean install of the OS is also helpful if you upgrade installed.
    Tell us how you go.
    Someone posted a solution.. See this thread.

    Mac Help says:
    If you back up to a Time Capsule or network disk:
    Open the Time Machine pane of System Preferences, and slide the switch to Off.
    Open Time Machine preferences
    Open Disk Utility, which is in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder. 
    Open Disk Utility
    Make sure the Time Capsule or network disk is turned on and available. 
    Open a Finder window, select your Time Capsule or network disk in the Shared section of the sidebar, and click Connect. If necessary, enter your user name and password. 
    On the Time Capsule or network disk, select the disk or volume that contains Time Machine backups. Depending on how your Time Capsule is set up, there may be one or more disks or volumes. 
    Locate your backup, and drag it to the Disk Utility sidebar.You can identify your backup by looking for your computer’s name in the backup’s filename.

  • I just got a new MacBook Pro, and I tried to bring across my files from my last mac using time machine. After it was done copying I can't find my files anywhere but the space (about 130gb) has been used on my hard drive. Help please!!

    I just got a new MacBook Pro, and I tried to bring across my files from my last mac using time machine. After it was done copying I can't find my files anywhere but the space (about 130gb) has been used on my hard drive. Does anyone know how I can get to them? I did change my user name from 'user' while it was copying, could this have something to do with it?

    You don't want to do that by copying.
    Your best bet, by far, is to use Setup Assistant.  If your Mac is running Snow Leopard, see Using Setup Assistant on Snow Leopard or Leopard.
    If it came with Lion, it's a bit different: Using Setup Assistant on Lion

  • Time Machine will not complete a system backup and terminates with "Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while copying files to the backup volume.  This follows a problem when Time machne terminated when the volume was almost full.

    On 11/1/2011, Time Machine (TM) terminated with an error message I did not record.  I noted that the drive was full and decided to do a separate complete bootable  system backup using Carbon Copy Clone (CCC), before clearing the TM volume and trying to start it over clean.  Part way through the full system backup CCC put up a message that there was a Physical Problem  "Library/Application Support/Techtool Protection/McIntosh HD/Directory Backup 2011-11-01-16-28-16".  That was about the time that TM malfunctioned, so I assumed they were related.  After starting CCC over a couple of times, and getting the same error message, I let it go through to completion of the backup, which took three or four hours.  I then ran tests using Disk Utility and verified that there was nothing physically wrong with both the internal hard drive and the TM volume.  I also erased and reformatted the TM volume.  However, every time I started Time Machine, it would record a few GB and terminate with "Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while copying files to the backup volume".  I restarted the computer with no change in results.  Note that prior to starting the CCC backup, I "Repaired Permissions", "zapped the PRAM" and "re-set the SMC", hoping to have a clean bootable system on the backup.  I ran Techtool and no problems were found.
    I'm running this on an Intel iMac under 10.5.8 and recording to a 500GB My Passport drive.  My hard drive is only about half full at 246 GB.  My assessment is that something happened at 16-28-16 on 11/1/2001 to screwup the Backup Directory in the file at "Library/Application Support/Techtool Protection/McIntosh HD/Directory Backup 2011-11-01-16-28-16". My question is, how do I fix it?
    I had just completed writing everything above here, explaining the problems I had been encountering for the past 24 hours.  I had the Time Machine window standing open on the desktop where I could see it, having recentlycleared it after the last termination.  As I was proofing what I had written, I looked at the window and noted that the clock had started a new run for a full back up, since all prior efforts had failed and the TM volume was empty.  As I watched and waited for it to fail again, as it had been doing at about 13 GB, it kept going and going until it just finished a complete backup, about 4.5 hours later, with my having done nothing.  Now my question would have to be - what could possiibly have happened to make it perform this way?   It will be interesting to see if it continue to operate normally, or if the problem will return, in a later backup run.

    You should not keep those files for long, and probably shouldn't back them up (if you need them at all -- since you do regular backups, I'm doubtful just how worthwhile that feature is).
    "Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while copying files to the backup volume".
    One of Apple's maddeningly incomplete messages. Most likely, there's a problem with a file (quite possibly the one CCC didn't like).  See #C3 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting for details and instructions on finding and fixing it.
    If you continue running the Directory Protection app, be sure to exclude your Time Machine drive from it (as it will just take up lots of room, and won't help repair your backups if there's a problem);  and exclude the folders it creates from being backed-up by Time Machine (as they'll create large backups, and you probably can't use the backed-up folders anyway), per #10 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.

An erro occurred while copying files.  The problem may be temporary.  If the problem persists, use Disk Utility to repair your backup disk.  I have had no problems backing up my MacBook Pro 2011 to my Western Digital My Book Live through a Linksys EA4500 router until recently.  I've made no major changes.  I've ran a diagnosis on my back up drive with no problems.  The Time Machine back up starts, but about after about 5 to 10 minutes I get the error message.  I can see the shared drive in Finder.  The light on the drive blinks while it starts the back up.  I can see the shared folders on the networked drive.  The backup process starts but for some reason it just stops.  Can anyone help?

    You can't repair a network volume in Disk Utility.
    Backing up to a third-party NAS with Time Machine is risky, and unacceptably risky if it's your only backup. I know this isn't the answer you want, and I also know that the manufacturer says the device will work with Time Machine, and that it usually seems to work. Except when you try to restore, and find that you can't.
    If you want network backup with Time Machine, use as the destination either an Apple Time Capsule or an external hard drive connected to another Mac or to an 802.11ac AirPort base station. Only the 802.11ac base stations support Time Machine, not any older model.
    If you're determined to keep using the NAS for backup, your only recourse for any problems that result is to the manufacturer (which will blame Apple.)

  • The backup was not performed because an error occurred while copying files

    One Time Capsule, Two MacBook's, OS10.6.6
    One MacBook can backup no problem, The other cannot backup says: the backup was not performed because an error occurred while copying files to the backup disk.
    Using a Time Machine Buddy widget gives:

    Who would be so kind to point me in the direction to make thsi work again?

    This could very well have to do with ACLs.
    I bumped into the same problem:
    5/8/11 10:43:22 PM          com.apple.backupd[7126]          Error: (-41) SrcErr:NO Copying /Users/SA/Public/Drop Box/HandBrake.app/Contents/Frameworks/Sparkle.framework/Versions/A/ Resources/de.lproj/SUAutomaticUpdateAlert.nib/classes.nib to /Volumes/Local Backup/Backups.backupdb/Server/2011-05-08-221524.inProgress/88ACE716-0660-44C8- A128-CF01046FC2F8/Macintosh HD/Users/SA/Public/Drop Box/HandBrake.app/Contents/Frameworks/Sparkle.framework/Versions/A/ Resources/de.lproj/SUAutomaticUpdateAlert.nib
    Using DD or CCC is no option for me, I don't want downtime and I want incremental backups. So I started to investigate.
    I repartitioned my external Time Machine drive, did the backup again. It didn't work. Then I blocked the culprit file mentioned in the logs from being backed up with TM. That helped, only to find that a bit later it found another file with issues.
    So i looked at the files an found they had ACLs on them that somehow prevented them from being copied.
    SOLUTION:
    remove the ACL from the file.
    If you want to remove all ACLs in a directory, use Terminal and navigate to that directory. Then issue this command:
    sudo echo | sudo chmod -R -E ./*
    If you would like to remove ACLs from a single file or package (e.g. an application), issue this:
    sudo echo | sudo chmod -R -E <nameoffile>
    You might have to this several times since there might be multiple files affected. Unlike previous solutions, this one does not require you to delete the file.
    I got the command to remove ACLs from http://osxadmin.blogspot.com/2008/01/chmod-acl-removal.html

  • After I updated to iOS 8, I noticed that while copying photos to my PC, I see photos being categorized into many folders. I also found some system files in each of the folders containing photos (in the name of Local Disk). Is this usual?

    I couldn't find the edit button on my original post so I am posting an update here.
    I have gone through more apps and have had good luck on all but one more.  And it's not that the app doesn't work, I am talking about the Yahoo Weather app, It works fine, but when you swipe between cities the screen lags a bit and it sometimes doesn't move between pages the way it should.  On iOS 7.1.2 it was smooth as butter but on iOS 8.0, not so much.  I will post a note in the app store to let them know.  I really like the Yahoo app better than the new stock app.
    I have been going through my games and they all work fine. Angry Birds (Original and Stella), Canabalt, Minecraft, Bejeweled 2, Silly Walks, PopWords, Doodle Jump, Deep Green all seem to work just fine. 
    Starbucks app works as it should. 
    I will stop back again next week after I have had the weekend to play with it in detail and post my thoughts again.
