How do i tell what file is currently copying?

I'm currently copying over files and accidentally dragged the same item more than twice. However I ONLY want to stop the files that are copying twice. How on earth do i know which one to cancel because they are not named. Is Mavericks suppose to be complicated to confuse us? Please help so this doesn't happen again, i have lots of files to copy!
Thanks.

I'd cancel the two that are 715.6 MB and haven't started copying anything (Zero bytes of…).

How can I tell what files Time Machine is currently backing up?

When I check the size of the current backup that Time Machine is performing, I frequently see a large number of GBs being backed up. I would like to stop Time Machine and see what is in the current backup list so I can have the option of deleting them from my Mac Pro running Lion which would save space in my TM backup drive. I assume I might have to consider to 3rd party software. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

In fact, Linc, you answered my question. The problem was I did not word my question properly. What I meant to ask is can I stop a current backup of TM and look at a list of files that it is attempting to back up for this next backup?
Oh, and thanks for the heads up about BackupLoupe. I bought it.

How can you tell which files have backed up to external hard drive using Time Machine?

Hello Mac Users,
I have Macbook Pro (early 2011) and recently purchased a WD My Passport for Mac external HD. I have completed a back up using Time Machine, however how do I tell what files actually were backed up? I have a ton of audio, documents and photos that I would like on there. Its a 2 TB HD, my memory is 750 GB... Im using 632. At end of back up, the drive still had 1.88 TB left. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks

This procedure is a diagnostic test. It makes no changes to your data.
Please triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
tmutil compare | open -ef
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
The command may take several minutes to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear below what you entered.
A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Don't post all the output; just read it yourself. Each line that begins with a plus sign (“+”) represents a file that has been added to the source volume since the last snapshot was taken. These files have not been backed up yet.
Each line that begins with an exclamation point (“!”) represents a file that has changed on the source volume. These files have been backed up, but not in their present state.
Each line that begins with a minus sign (“-“) represents a file that has been removed from the source volume.
Files that you’ve excluded from backup, or that are excluded automatically, are ignored.
At the end of the output, you’ll get some lines like the following:
Added:
Removed:
Changed:
These lines show the total amount of data added, removed, or changed on the source(s) since the last snapshot.
Caution: Under some conditions, tmutil may falsely flag files as not having been backed up when in fact they have been. It can be confused by multi-linked files, or by files with a modification date earlier than the one in the snapshot. This will not be an issue for most users. If the results of the above procedure surprise you, inspect your snapshots directly.

My DVD player is supposed to play avi videos, but it often doesn't telling me that the file format is not recognized. I suspect it's because it's the wrong codec. How can I tell what the codec is before I burn a DVD? And how do I get a workable codec? Thanks for uour help!

I am not a computer savy person. I just need to plug in and have the machine do what it should do.
Not a problem, but that indicates you have a lot to learn.
File extensions like mpeg, mp4., avi, wmv, etc. are just wrappers. It is like a box the audio or video content is placed inside. The audio and video content must be encoded with a codec before it is placed in the box. There are thousands of codecs. Not all are installed on your Mac. You must have the same codec installed that encoded the video in order to play it. So, while Quicktime does support mpeg wrapper, it may not have the codecs to decode the internal video.
Some programs have lots of the codecs available to them, like VLC, Niceplayer, MPlayerX, etc.
You can also get "plug-ins" for Quicktime that add codecs to Quicktime, like Perian. Although it is no longer being developed, Perian still works well.
Why is it so difficult? Probably because they are always working on ways to compress the video to get better playback.

How can I see what file's are in a directory

I'm want to make a program for brosing the harddisk and copying and editing file's.
I already can copy them but:
How can I see what file's are in a directory and how can I see
what subdirectory's are in a directory so I can show them to the user?
I dont't know if it does matter if If I'm on a windows or linux platform, when it does please tell me for the windows?

I believe this works for a directory of reasonable size.

I am using itunes 10 and trying to consolidate my files. I keep getting the error "Copying files failed. The file name was invalid or too long". How can I indentify what file is causing this problem or resolve this issue?

I am using itunes 10 and trying to consolidate my files. I keep getting the error "Copying files failed. The file name was invalid or too long". How can I indentify what file is causing this problem or resolve this issue?

BUMP
Yes, I just get that message. I don't see how I could investigate this problem.
I didn't mention that this happened when I was consolidating my library, not copying files to another computer.
In other words, I'm using a "normal" itunes procedure, itunes won't complete it, and won't tell me exactly why or how to figure out how to fix it...
Is there at least some easy way to tell which files were successfully copied to my itunes music folder so I can work on moving the uncopied files?
Can anybody help me?

How can I tell what the iTunes build is before I download?

I am having difficulty finding out what the iTunes build is for the current download from the Apple site. I am running iTunes 7.6 (29); I assume the "29" is the build for my installed version. I also assume that Software Update will ignore build changes unless the version changes.
I do not want to download and install the current iTunes build unless it is different from my currently installled app. How can you tell what the specific version and build are from the Apple download site?
Thanks!

I am running iTunes on Leopard.

TES 6.1.x - how do you tell what DB is used by ClientMgr?

We just externalized the Client Mgr DB to Oracle, updated config files, etc. How do you tell what db is using - Derby or Oracle?

After you externalize the CM database, you should see the db objects (tables and views) in the database are now created shortly after you start the CM service.
You can verify creation of database objects in the actual database and in the plugin log upon start-up. This log can be found under the ../ClientManager/plugin/tes-6.0/log directory

Are you planning to connect your iPad to your computer and using iTunes upgrade your software to iOS 5.0.1 (that's the current OS available for iPad)? I would certainly suggest you update. If you do, then the manual on your iPad will also be updated.

I finally found the knowledge base article on here to find the exact version of a deski client

You can check the correct version number in two different places:
Central Configuration Manager
Desktop Intelligence Report Server (Start > All programs > Business Objects XI Release 2 > BusinessObjects Enterprise > Central Configuration Manager).
EXE Version Tab
1. Browse to the drive where you installed Desktop Intelligence. For example:
\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 11.5\win32_86
2. Right-click the busobj.exe file, click Properties then click the Version tab.

Look in the "patches" folder under "<Program Files>\Business Objects\Crystal Reports 11". It will give you a folder listing for each service pack, monthly hotfix, and critical hotfix you have installed. If you are using Crystal Reports XI R2 you will want to look in your Add/Remove Programs instead.

How can I tell what was purchased on a gift card?

sussan-b,
Does the bar showing used space have a portion labeled "Other"?
Usually other is files that have been copied to the iPod directly, or space you have told the iPod to reserve for other files by enabling disk use.

How do i decide what files iCloud does and does not upload/store?

Hello,
I am in the process of uploading my music to the iCloud.
This includes music from the iMatch facility that I am subscribed to as well as other music that I need to upload because it’s not available in the ITunes store.
I have a question?
How do I control what files/playlists etc are uploaded to the cloud??
As at present I only have 50GB of storage, how to I best manage this to see what I have and check I upload all that I want?
In the same way as doing a standard sync with your iPod/iphone to your PC, you can control what playlists and tracks that you add and which you don’t?
How in essence do I do this with ICLOUD and prioritize what it holds??
Appreciate your feedback folks
Simon.

Hi Kirk,
Thank you for your response.
I was under the impression that the limit was 50GB max or 25,000 files whichever came first?
I have a total of 80gb :-)
Anyway, if the limit is 50GB and say for somereason i only wanted to upload 3/4 of my files to the cloud, how do i detrmine which ones are uploaded and stored via match or non match upload and which remain outisde the cloud?
Can this be done?
Regards
Simon.
