How do I see file transfer speeds?

Hey guys, does anyone know if it's possible for me to see file transfer speeds instead of just the time remaining in Finder?

Hi,
In song view, go to menu > view > view options and select bit rate, file type and size.
In preferences, you can change import settings to Apple lossless. When you use file > create new version you can now can now convert from aiff to lossless.
Create playlist based of file type being lossless.

IPhone File Transfer Speeds

I have two MacBooks and two iPhones and I'm seeing very different file transfer speeds between the two. Both have the backup option manually disabled to improve sync times.
Setup 1: iPhone 3GS with MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2008) model
Setup 2: iPhone 3G with Black Macbook (13-inch Mid 2007) model
The time it takes to sync video between the two is drastic with the newer model copying files in a few seconds, and the older setup copying files over 5-10 minute periods.
I have yet to swap the two iPhones on the two computers but from a technical perspective, I don't understand why one would transfer files faster than the other. Both are using USB 2.0 and I've already tried using the same cable for both. Anyone see similar behavior? Is this a facet of the older computer or older iPhone?

As an example, a USB host on a PCI bus will send or receive the data via the PCI bus; the stack will prepare the next data in memory and receive interrupt from the host. That's what I mean, how that's implemented.

Local file transfer speed slow on E1200

On a local file transfer (computer to NAS or NAS to computer) my file transfer speed with the E1200 is way too slow. I would expect the Wireless N speed to be at least 54mbps (megabits per second), which would be equivalent to 9 MegaBytes per second.
In practice the speed of transfer appears to be at 8mbps (1 MegaByte per second). Here is a screen shot:
The speed is the same whether I copy from the computer (on a wireless N link) to the NAS, or from the NAS (on a 100Mbit ethernet port on the E1200) to the computer. The NAS is brand new, auto configured to a RAID-1 setup with two new drives.
Anyone know why this is? is the encryption (WPA2-PSK/AES) slowing down the transfer? The same problem occurred with copying a folder of photos as with copying this large file. I don't think I can upgrade the firmware on my device, as I have the first version of the E1200.
Solved!

Sabretooth --
There is no option to set the Qos to zero. I can set it to "auto" in which case the number has no effect.
I could set it to manual but it restricts me to a range as you can see from the graphic.
In case you are wondering, my internet speed is 10Mbps downstream, 5Mbps upstream. So I am getting the same speed for the internet that I am getting for a local transfer.
The next troubleshooting step is to bypass the wireless and hook my PC to the router. I will let you know if that makes a difference.

Slow file transfer speed on OS X / Windows LAN

I have a Mac Mini with OS X Server (Yosemite) on a network of 5 Windows 7 PCs, the server hosts FileMaker Server 13 and also some files in a shared folder.
I notice the file transfer speed when copying a file from one PC up to the server's shared folder is around 350KB/second, is this an acceptable speed? how could I improve it?
Thanks for your help.

I'm having the same issues.. I recorded a bunch of video with the 4s.. now i'm copying them to my windows 7 pc with it peaking out at 900KB/sec. My corsair thumb drive in the same port gets 5-10x this speed. any luck getting faster speeds?

Can't find how to shut off File Transfer Mode with...

I've spent the better part of two hours searching the Internet for information on how to turn off File Transfer Mode since my phone started refusing to connect to my home computer, today.
The pdf user's guide doesn't say how to find it. I've been digging through the menu on the phone trying to find anything that resembles File Transfer Mode so I can click it off.
The other FAQ and discussion groups I've located are irrelavent as the information they contain doesn't transfer to my Nokia 820 (they suggest options which don't exist on my phone).
Please, where does one start looking for File Transfer Mode on this phone so they can shut it off, and why isn't that information printed in the troubleshooting documents and self help files for these phones?
I connect through the USB cable to my PC. I have downloaded and installed Nokia PC Suite v.7.1.180.94 this morning in hopes that it would fix the connectivity problem, but unless I can get File Transfer Mode shut off somehow, my new phone's going to wind up being useless.
Nokia Lumia 820, Windows 8 phone
HP Pavilion Slimline s52021, Windows 7 Home

have you searched these forums and tried a soft reset (pressing the volume down and power buttons together until the phone vibrates)? Bear in mind that no, Nokia Suite, or Nokia PC Suite do not work with Windows Phone 8 devices at all, only the Windows Phone app does.
See if other devices connect to your PC, and try other USB ports.

How can I see or transfer my old photos from my iOS 6 iPod Touch to the 'Years, Collections, Moments' in my iOS 8 iPhone 5S?

How can I see or transfer my old photos from my iOS 6 iPod Touch to the 'Years, Collections, Moments' in my iOS 8 iPhone 5S?
For example, my mom's 'Years, Collections, Moments' in her iPhone 6 has pictures from her old iPhones, even her 3GS

Greetings Yushk,
It seems you would like to transfer photos from your previous device to your iPhone 5S. I have linked to an article which may help you. You can transfer those photos to a Mac or PC, then sync them to your new device:
Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support
After you import your photos from your iOS device or Saved Photos, you can use iTunes to sync them back to your device.

K8T Mstr2-FAR7 ---- File Transfer Speed

I measured file transfer speed between partitions, 1) both in the same physical drive and 2) each in a different physical drive. The measurements were made on WXP and WVT by using a file having 1048MB in size. Results are as follows:
1) Partitions in the same physical Drive
WXPx86 : 18.55 seconds
WVTx86 : 38.91 seconds
2) Each partition in different physical drive
WXPx86 : 9.31 seconds
WVTx86 : 19.13 seconds
Are the above results normal? Vista's speed appear way lower than the maximum allowed by SATA-150. The speed may be affected by many factors. My hardware spec is shown below. RAM is in single channel mode and is running as DDR333.
Could anyone shed light on the matter of file transfer speed?

It's because Vista is buggy, everybody knows this.
If you want speed, use XP.
And that isn't the only problem with Vista, also graphics is 3x faster under XP.

File transfer speed when on battery power

Hey there - I've noticed that my file transfer speed is ridiculously slow when i'm not plugged in to a power source. Even when my battery is fully charged it's super slow. This happens not only when I'm uploading files from a memory card to my computer but when I'm attaching files to an email, or even sending an email. I've asked other mac users and they say this is not the norm for their machines....any ideas?
thanks!
Sunny

additionally, you can disable power menagement for your wireless card completely through iwconfig's power option. I suggest you read the manpage for iwconfig, I have quotes the 2 related options for you.
txpower
For cards supporting multiple transmit powers, sets the transmit power in dBm. If W is the power in Watt, the power in dBm is P = 30 + 10.log(W). If the value is postfixed by mW, it will be automatically converted to dBm.
In addition, on and off enable and disable the radio, and auto and fixed enable and disable power control (if those features are available).
Examples :
iwconfig eth0 txpower 15
iwconfig eth0 txpower 30mW
iwconfig eth0 txpower auto
iwconfig eth0 txpower off
power
Used to manipulate power management scheme parameters and mode.
To set the period between wake ups, enter period 'value'. To set the timeout before going back to sleep, enter timeout 'value'. You can also add the min and max modifiers. By default, those values are in seconds, append the suffix m or u to specify values in milliseconds or microseconds. Sometimes, those values are without units (number of beacon periods, dwell or similar).
off and on disable and reenable power management. Finally, you may set the power management mode to all (receive all packets), unicast (receive unicast packets only, discard multicast and broadcast) and multicast (receive multicast and broadcast only, discard unicast packets).
Examples :
iwconfig eth0 power period 2
iwconfig eth0 power 500m unicast
iwconfig eth0 power timeout 300u all
iwconfig eth0 power off
iwconfig eth0 power min period 2 power max period 4
website with the current manpage:
http://linux.die.net/man/8/iwconfig
or simply:
$ man iwconfig

File transfer speed in Shared USB Hard Drive via Airport Extreme

I' am planing to buy one of this, but first I need to know what kind of file transfer speed I can expect when sharing USB drive via Airport Extreme 1000Mbps Ethernet.
Thanks.

most likely 14m/sec but normally 10.5 this is ethernet wired and usb attached. wireless would be about 8M/sec
Wired is good enough I use it for Finder copy frequently.

How to see the file transfer speed on a mac

Hi, I'm kind of a beginner with a Mac, I have worked on windows for all this years and now I have a small dilema. Can someone please tell me how you can see the file transferring speed on a mac. When you copy and paste from one drive to another, or from time capsule to my mac, etc a dialog appears showing you a progress bar and the time remaining. I would also like to see the speed of the transfer. Is it posible to see this variable?

In windows - vista when you copy or paste a folder from one location to another in the file transfer pop-up you can see the speed of the transfer.(You must press the more details arrow on that pop-up). Does Leopard has any configuration for this kind of information.
I will try iGet and write here my feedback.

How to Measure file transfer speed in iChat

hi guys, is there anyway to measure the file transfer rate ,while sending o receiving a specific file
in iChat?

Actually I should say that it's not a good solution to stop all other applications to measure the network
traffic for one application, there is another problem cause even no file is during transfer the application sends and receives packets from internet and this way is not accurate to measure .

How to increase AFP data transfer speed?

When I connect to our server from a WAN source outside of our facility the file data transfer rate is extremely slow. We just upgraded to a 10Mps fiber service and that has dematically increased our website data tranfer speed. I would like to find a way to access the file server from remote location and work, but the data transfer rate makes productivity impossible. I would appreciate hearing how other organizations are set-up and functioning with file transfer sizes at an average of 10 to 15 Mb.
Thanks,
Brian
OS10.6.8 Server,

If you don't have enough network bandwidth for your time requirements, you have little chance of success with the direct approach. Techniques such as file compression and such can only provide limited help. If you're transfering multiple copies of the files, then you can push one copy of the file to a hosted provider, and then serve additional copies from there.
As for your network, a ten million bits per second network connection is the speed of first-generation Ethernet. That Ethernet was a fast network, back in 1985. In the era of a one billion bits per second Gigabit Ethernet and increasingly commonly with the ten gigabit Ethernet links, a 10 Mb link is glacial.
A typical DSL network is asymmetric, meaning you'll have 10 Mb down (theoretically) and some fraction of that up. So you might not be getting that 10 Mb in the direction you're coppying files. And this is best case; various of the ISP network links around aren't providing their rated speeds.
AFP stinks on a network, and you're also opening up your file system to remote attackers.
As for WebDAV, read this. In addition to WebDAV, you can also try an sftp or other "simpler" copy command as a test, and see what you get for that. (sftp is also encrypted, which has benefits, though the encryption also requires more processing time.)
But beyond techniques such as data compression (and which may or may not be an option here) or incremental or "delta" changes to the data (which probably isn't an option here) or working locally and batching over the changes, there are few good ways to contend with a too-slow-for-your-needs link.

File transfer speed and distance from base station?

I tested the file transfer time (outside with no obstructions) by moving a large video file between my MacBook and a computer wired to an Airport base station. The times were the same as distance increased until the connection dropped. Why?

Do the calculations.
(Although wireless qualifies more for voodoo project than science).
500MB translates to 5.7MB/s which is near enough to 46Mbits/s
500MB in 94sec is 42.6Mbits/s
That is really slow for 5ghz at such close distance to the airport.
What OS are you running? Please open the wireless diagnostics.
About Wireless Diagnostics - Apple Support
Run the wireless utility.
And get the actual link speed and how well it is working.
Then use iperf to get actual network speeds. Rather than moving a file test the link rates.
iperf is included in Mac OS and is available via terminal.
This post gives some clues. http://acidx.net/wordpress/2013/05/testing-a-network-connection-with-iperf/
I think your seeing a hold up due to slow ethernet say.. 100mbit ethernet will ruin any numbers you are trying to get in tests. As well as older slow Mechanical hdd in laptops.
But the link speed in the Utility will tell you the story.. if you link at 450Mbps which should be possible up close.. and it drops to say 200Mbps at a range of 130M you are still far faster than the rate determining step.. very likely to be a slow disk plus slow ethernet.
Go to the performance tab.. and keep it running as you move the computer from next to the Airport to the 130M point. You should see a pretty large drop in connect speed.. but you also need to keep this running as you transfer files.. since it tends to vary greatly during a file transfer.
For science experiments.. this is already a pretty good one.. you are trying to determine the rate determining step in a network system and why wireless is not causing the problem you expected. The use of actual diagnostic tools is great.. almost like science.
The big spike in this graph is me changing from 2.4ghz to 5ghz.

4500EA LAN File Transfer Speed

My XBOX started complaining when I began using Windows Media Center to stream videos from my PC to my XBOX. I found out that I had a wireless G router provided by verizon which wasn't fast enough to stream videos. SO, I went out and purchased a 4500EA router expecting it to be the fastest thing I had ever seen.
Now it seems a bit slow when trying to stream video from my laptop to the XBOX and i'm a tad bit confused as to why. So I did a file transfer from a desktop wired directly to the router from a laptop in the same room wirelessly connected to the network and my speed is about 4mbps. 4MBPS!? This device is supposed to be capable of moving packets LAN side at 450MBPS.
Both of my PC's are quad core, newer model PCs. I've tried moving files now for several hours with the same results. I've toyed around with my wireless adapters, changed power settings, full duplex, half, changed mtu sizes, changed security settings. I'm out of ideas.
Is getting about 1% of the advertised bandwidth normal? Or is something wrong?

1. Without knowing the wireless adapters you use it's impossible to say how much you might get under very good circumstances.
2. The advertised 450 Mbit/s is as usual with networking the theoretical boundary which would be possible only under absolutely ideal circumstances not using 802.11. In reality a compatible adapter might get maybe 1/2 of that under very good circumstances.
3. In reality you often won't get a 450 Mbit/s or 300 Mbit/s connection rate (which is only an indicator for the signalling and encoding used) but only a 144 Mbit/s connection at least for the 2.4 GHz band because there is too much interference.
4. Toying around with settings usually makes things only worse, in particular if you don't carefully revert all settings back to the original settings.
5. What connection rate did you get with your desktop? What adapter is in the desktop?
