Help with moving files

I'm having problems copying data across my network to my new mac mini and i'm looking for some help with how to resolve this issue.
I'm using "Connect to Server' to connect via SMB to a Vista x64 machine that has the files I need to copy. I'm mounting the share as the user that has permissions to the files on the vista client. The connection is fine, but when I start the copy process, I receive an error message about not having the appropriate permissions to copy files and then the entire copy process fails. Here is the exact error message:
Copy
The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items.
OK
From the vista machine I have logged in as the same user and I have taken ownership of ALL of the files and folders I'm trying to copy. I also made sure that the folder is shared with EVERYONE having full access (not something I would normally do, but figured it might help this situation). The vista machine is in a workgroup if that makes a difference.
Question 1: how can I do this via command line so that instead of stopping the entire file copy it skips the ones it can't copy and copies the rest of them?
With hundreds of subfolders and thousands of files, I have no idea which ones it is failing to copy making this process quite painful.
I'm also stuck on another basic issue - when I originally connected to the share, I told the OSX machine to remember the password. If I want to reconnect to the share using a different username and different password, how do I get OSX to reprompt me for this information?
Help

You are probably better off using
ditto
In a terminal
man ditto
and read the description and instructions.
Yes, sadly, many copy process when the fail at a file abort the rest of the process. Windows does this as well.

  • Zen Vision:M - help with moving files around once loa

    Guys and Gals, i recently bought the Zen Vision:M and need some help. Once i loaded songs or vdos into it i find that i am not able to move these files from one folder to another. I am using the zen vision explorer program that came with it. it allows me to right click then select 'cut' or 'copy' but then when i navigate to where i want to paste it the paste option is greyed out when i right click. anyone have a solution for this? any help would be greatly appreciated.

    it sucks... you want a song in one folder like the album into another right? Yeah you have to modify the ID tags to do that.... I took all my songs and changed the album name to ALL for my zvm using snackamp. Look it up it works fine. You can choose the songs you want to a particular album (works for 200 at a time) and choose the album for them all. Thats the only advantage of iPod i'd have to say... the ALL option under songs... so yeah get snackamp, use it, take all the songs off your zen and re-add them and it should be fine.

  • Need help with moving files into Itunes and syncing

    Please help.
    I have an external hard drive with my music on it.  I created a new playlist in Itunes and did a drag and drop from my external hard drive into my newly created playlist. 
    Now that I go back and play the items I brought over, I get an error that says "original files not found" and it won't play and therefore does not seem to be syncing to the Ipod to be able to play.
    Can you please give me guidance as to what I can do without recreating all the work I had already done?
    Thanks,
    Michelle

    Is the external drive connected?
    Has the drive letter possibly changed due to being disconnected and reconnected?

  • Help with moving files to another computer

    Hello.  I need some help if anyone is willing.  I am partially rebuilding my computer.  I am replacing the hard drive and going from from XP to Windows 7.  I have an eSata drive where all my XDCAM-ex footage is located and that drive is staying the same.  I have a couple Encore projects as well as related Premiere projects (CS4).  How do I do that and get all the files that I need?  Can I just open the project, choose Save As and save the file on the eSata drive?  I noticed that on Premiere pro offers a Save a copy...so that is what I have already done for that.  Or is it much more compicated?
    Thanks for any help,
    Mark

    For Premiere you will need the project file and all media assets transferred.  Preview, conformed audio (.cfa) and peak files (.pek) need not be moved.  Premiere will regenerate them when required.  (Though there certainly is no harm in moving them as well.)
    Encore needs the project file, as well as the entire project folder of the same name.  Plus any assets used in the project (video/audio/menus).

  • Getting new Hard Disk. Need help with moving files from old one.

    Hey guys so here is my dilema. So I have a Lacie 500GB Hard Drive and made the mistake of accidently deleting all my backups.db into the trash but thankfully never emptied that. There was no way to put it back into the backups folder so it caused me a lot of distress. I have decided to grab a portable hard disk instead such as the Western Digital. Heres my thought. I really only want to transfer a few things from the Lacie such as photos, movies, and a few documents from all the backup dates but nothing else. Is there a way to maybe automate so that certain files will transfer over instead of it all?
    Thanks in advance!
    On a sidenote, if you have any suggestions for portable, small, lightweight, yet large capacity (at least 1TB) portable hard drives let me know!

    Lacie is a Seagate drive
    To move specific files, open the backup database (time machine, backups.db). When you open Time Machine and select a date to restore from, you should see a Finder like view of that particular backup.  Navigate through the backup the same way as you would through the Finder and choose the folder or files you wish to restore.

  • Need help with moving files?

    I now have two challenges.  As a new user I need to know how to copy my iTunes files onto a USB stick.  I am not sure how to find the files, copy them or anything,  the second thing that I need to know is how to remove files from the desktop.  While trying to copy these same music files I clicked at the wrong time and now they are all piled up on the desk top.  There are 1800 files all piled up.  Just want these gone.  Thanks for any help.

    While trying to copy these same music files I clicked at the wrong time and now they are all piled up on the desk top.  There are 1800 files all piled up.  Just want these gone. 
    Click Finder and desktop. Assuming for simplicity that there are only the 1800 files on the desktop that you want to delete them (important that you have saved them somewhere else where you want them) .... click on the first one in the list to highlight it, then move to the last one in the list, hold the shift key and click on it to highlight it. All in between should also now be highlighted. Either drag that group to the trash or right click and choose move to trash. Then empty the trash.
    If you want to copy the files on the desktop to the USB stick, follow Niel's instructions above.
    On your hard drive, you'll find your itunes library under your user ID / music / itunes

  • Can some help with CR2 files ,Ican`t see CR2 files in adobe bridge

    can some help with CR2 files ,I can`t see CR2 files in adobe bridge when I open Adobe Photoshop cs5- help- about plugins- no camera raw plugins. When i go Edit- preference and click on camera raw  shows message that Adobe camera raw plugin cannot be found

    That's strage. Seems that the Camera Raw.8bi file has been moved to different location or has gone corrupt. By any chance did you try to move the camera raw plugin to a custom location?
    Go To "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS5\File Formats" and look for Camera Raw.8bi file.
    If you have that file there, try to download the updated camera raw plugin from the below location.
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=5371&fileID=5001
    In case  you ae not able to locate the Camera Raw.8bi file on the above location, then i think you need to re-install PS CS5.

  • Re-associating play-lists with moved files

    I know this topic comes up a lot but I am not clear on the answer. How do I Re-associate play-lists with moved files?
    I used to have all my music stored under- Music/My Music, on my Macs HD. ( I did not use the iTunes folder in the same music directory)
    I then moved the entire Music folder to an external hard drive.
    Is there a simple way of re-associating all my playlists to Music/My Music, on my external drive with one setting?
    Thxs

    As Katrina says it is easiest, if possible, to switch the letters back. It would help, however, to be precise about what has changed as it may be that with a little assistance iTunes can cope with the change.
    If, for example, your database files are still on drive C: and you had relocated the *iTunes Media* folder to say *D:\iTunes Media*, which is now *E:\iTunes Media* then changing the media folder location in iTunes preferences, followed by closing & reopening iTunes ought to resolve things.
    If things were more randomly organised, i.e. not inside the iTunes Media folder, then it becomes harder. It is possible, in principle, to write a script which performs a seach and replace on the iTunes track paths, but because iTunes won't report the original location of a "missing" file this is not so eash to do in practice. I do however have a script I'm working on that can switch the location from A to B if the file can be made to appear in both locations using say a Junction or Symbolic Link or a SUBST command. Once all the files have been remapped the Junction/SymLink or SUBST could be removed.

  • Help with Reconnecting Files

    Over this past weekend I was moving, via Relocate Masters, large numbers of images from managed status on my MacBook Pro to referenced status on an external drive (an Air Disk, to be precise). This had gone fine for thousands of images, but Sunday night I returned to the computer to find that it was completely locked up in mid-Relocate, and seemed to have been locked up for a while. I'm not sure what happened, but it seemed bad -- I couldn't get to the Force Quit dialog, or anywhere else. I powered down by holding in the power button.
    Upon resurrecting things, Aperture would not open the library. Long story shorter, I rebuilt the database and was then able to see the library contents again. But then I noticed that many files were "offline." Digging further, and using the Manage Referenced Files box, I discovered that some 3500 files need to be reconnected.
    The Reconnect All button did a little bit of magic for me, but now I've gotten to a point where using Reconnect All only reconnects one file at a time. I was renaming files as I Relocated Masters, and my fear is that this is what has caused the disconnect. *So first,* can anyone tell me that this is what has caused the problem (the problem being my apparent need to now reconnect 3400 files, one-by-one)?
    *Second, and more importantly to me, do I have any recourse beyond reconnecting one-by-one?* Again, the problem seems to me to be that the library file expects a file named image.jpg (or whatever), because the change of the file name to greatimage.jpg that occurred during Relocation did not get written to the library file.
    Many thanks for all help and suggestions.

    I hope someone else can join in with a definitive answer to your problem, but I don't believe you will be happy using the configuration you are attempting to set up.
    Having Aperture access your images via wireless is going to be very very slow, and any connection problems will be very frustrating. I have even abandoned the idea of using wireless backup of image files because it so slow.
    Perhaps someone can help with your immediate problem, but I would strongly suggest you find a way to store your referenced files locally (a firewire drive would be ideal).
    Thanks. I certainly appreciate your thought, and before trying it myself, my instinct was the same as yours. That said, until the present problem cropped up, I have to say it has been quite a good solution. My network is 802.11n, and I've noticed no real lag in accessing the files or otherwise using Aperture with a library stored as this is.
    But yes, I hope someone is able to help me get these 3400-some files reconnected short of one-by-one.
    Thank you for your comments.

  • Help with referenced files and importing

    This might be more complex than can be addressed here, but I'm struggling with the organization of aperture.
    Because I'm not sure I want use aperture forever, and because I occasionally like to use other photo editors, I've opted for a referenced file setup. I typically arrange my pictures into year/month sub folders, with additional folders for special subjects, like my kids. I've been doing this for a long time, it works for me, and I don't want to change.
    Problem #1 - avoiding duplicates when I import. When I stick the card in my computer I want to copy just the new files to the directory I specify. Image capture only looks for duplicates in the target directory, which is no help if I'm importing files to "November" from a card that has files that were previously imported to "October." The easiest solution would be to delete the images off of the card after importing, but I can't do that - my wife also wants to copy the pix to her computer and she may not copy for several weeks or months at a time.
    I tried using aperture's import feature to copy files directly from my camera's memory card. The import worked, but when I tried to locate the files on disk, aperture told me there were no referenced files. Any idea where they are?
    Problem #2 - import. Is there any way to make Aperture watch referenced directories and automatically add new files to the the appropriate project? It's a pain to keep manually importing files.
    Problem #3 - Organization. Is there any way to set up aperture so that a project = a physical folder on my drive? I get that Aperture is trying to abstract the physical location of my files, but I don't want them abstracted. Also, why is my aperture primary library 6.2 GB when I do all my work with referenced files? Where are my edited files stored? Are these in the primary library? Where are the files from my photostreams (from my phone) stored?
    Would any or all of these issues be resolved by moving to a managed file set up?
    Finally, if I can't get Aperture working the way I need it, any insight into how I'd use it as an external editor to something like Picasa? I really like the aperture editing tools - that's why I bought it. But the workflow is just killing me.
    Any insights would be appreciated. Thanks.

    It is not as complex as you are making it.  Aperture is not per se an editor.  It is for storing and organizing, and quickly decoding RAW images.  It is a pretty good editor, but it has the feature to allow you to specify an External Editor to which you can send images for more complex editing, and back -- all from within Aperture.
    You don't want to have your images referenced so you can also edit them with other programs.  That destroys the non destructive design of Aperture.  If you want Referenced images, you mostly want them so they can be on a different hard drive from that used by the Library for keeping track and storing the adjustments, and not so other programs can access them.
    You need to read further as to how and why Aperture works the way it does.

  • Help with Moving Emails from Exchange Server 2013

    Hi Team,
    Help, I need a solution on how to copy incoming and outgoing emails together with their attachments and was hoping someone could help with a solution I need to find for this problem.
    1) I have a need to copy all incoming and outgoing emails & attachments from Exchange Server 2013 mailboxes on a daily basis, so they can be archived into an external 3rd party database overnight.
    I believe that the first step is that I can set up another Exchange mailbox, through Journaling to receive these emails. 
    Is there any way that these emails can then be moved direct from the Journaling mailbox that I have created, to a shared folder on the network? If so what format would they be sent out as e.g. .msg, .ems and what is the process?
    Failing that, could they be sent to an Outlook client (not another Exchange mailbox) on the network and stored in a .pst file? (I have a program that will export them from .pst)
    I would really appreciate any assistance that you can provide in this matter.
    Regards, Greg.

    Hi,
    You can set auto-forward on journaling mailbox and auto-forward emails to another mailbox. Why don’t directly archive the emails from the journaling mailbox “an external
    3rd party database”.
    Thanks,

  • Can you help with rematching file names

    After a computer crash needed to reload my library. When doing this I accidently clicked the option to add track numbers to song names.
    Later I was able to locate my iTunes XML from my old PC, however many of the songs (5000 out of 6000) no don't match because the original song name has been changed since my stupid error caused the files names to get the song number in front of them.
    Anybody have any tips for matching the filenames back up. In my original library some files had track numbers in front and some did not. How can I match them back up. I'm comfortable programming and modifying the iTunes XML but I can't figure out a good way to list out the contents of my hard drive to do the actual matching.

    Because this forum software is so absolutely USELESS now, you don't get to see the whole of the question in this view. In the other (non-list) view it says:
    "can you help with a technical problem with the stereo imagery option ? it won't take out lead vocal in a stereo mp3"
    And the answer is that if you can't isolate the vocal in the stereo field, or it is one of these odd ones where it's used inverted polarity in different parts of the stereo signal for the same vocal, then you won't be able to. But without a sample, it's impossible to tell. If you can post a link to one, that might help. It has to be external to this site though - Adobe in their infinite wisdom don't allow the posting of audio files on their audio U2U forum. Helpful, that, isn't it?

  • Need help with connecting file inputs to arrays

    In this assignment I have a program that will do the following: display a list of names inputed by the user in reverse order, display any names that begin with M or m, and display any names with 5 or more letters. This is all done with arrays.
    That was the fun part. The next part requires me to take the names from a Notepad file, them through the arrays and then output them to a second Notepad file.
    Here is the original program: (view in full screen so that the code doesn't get jumbled)
    import java.io.*;       //Imports the Java library
    class progB                    //Defines class
        public static void main (String[] arguments) throws IOException
            BufferedReader keyboard;                                  //<-

            int newnames;               //...the integer variable for the amount of names.

            String[] array;             //Dynamic array (empty)

            name = keyboard.readLine ();
            newnames = Integer.parseInt (name);                                         // Converts the String into the Integer variable
            array = new String [newnames];                                               //This defines the size of the array
            DataInput Imp = new DataInputStream (System.in);       //Allows data to be input into the array
            String temp;                                       
            int length;                                                                  //Defines the length of the array for a loop later on
                for (order = 0 ; order < newnames ; order++)                                //<-
                {                                                                           //  Takes the inputed names and
                    System.out.println (" Please input name ");                            //  gives them a number according to
                    temp = keyboard.readLine ();                                           //  the order they were inputed in
                    array [order] = temp;                                                  //<-

                    {                                                                         //  names that begin with M or m
                        System.out.print (" \n ");                                            //

                        System.out.println ("Name " + array [order] + " have 5 or more letters ");      //<-
    }The notepad file contains the following names:
    jim
    laruie
    tim
    timothy
    manny
    joseph
    matty
    amanda
    I have tried various methods but the one thing that really gets me is the fact that i can't find a way to connect the names to the arrays. Opening the file with FileInputStream is easy enough but using the names and then outputing them is quite hard. (unless i'm thinking too hard and there really is a simple method)

    By "connect", do you just mean you want to put the names into an array?
    array[0] = "jim"
    array[1] = "laruie"
    and so on?
    That shouldn't be difficult at all, provided you know how to open a file for reading, and how to read a line of text from it. You can just read the line of text, put it in the array position you want, until the file is exhausted. Then open a file for writing, loop through the array, and write a line.
    What part of all that do you need help with?

  • Help with finding files

    I would really appreciate any help on this! I have my itunes library on an external hard drive. The power adapter to that drive failed. I replaced it, but now when I open itunes it doesn't recognize where any of my files are. A friend told me to try to go into Edit>Preferences and find the drive of my hard drive and reset that as where the files are. That didn't work. I can go in manually and click on a song where the window pops up that itunes can't find the file, and I am able to find it and then it will play. But to do that with all files in my library would take forever. Thank you so much for any help!

    Try This. Hold the shift key down, and open iTunes. Do not let up on the shift key until you get a window that asks you to choose a library, or create a new library. If iTunes opens without giving you that choice, just close it and re-open it with the shift key down. Nine times out of Ten it works on the first try. Click "choose a library". You will get another window that allows you to navigate to your hard drive and show iTunes where your music is stored. In a folder called iTunes or iTunes Music, choose "iTunes Library.itl" This should bring back your entire library the way it was when you last used it.
