Is there a conflict in copying files from windows to formatted for mac ED.

I am going to format a large external drive for mac to house my movie files under advice of several helpful people here. When I format this drive the am I going to have problems copying the files back to it from my windows pc????
I had already backed my movies and photos' to the drive....but formatting will delete them.
Any feedback appreciated!

To begin with, I've arranged to have your post moved from the Solaris 11 forum to the Solaris 9 forum.
That's the closest arena for questions involving a system running Solaris 8, as you stated in the title of your post.
I think you have a Filezilla issue, not an OS issue.
It's been a very long time since I needed to investigate deep into Filezilla's settings but I recall there's some various choices as to 8-dot-3 versus long-file-name compatibilities.
My various systems with Filezilla installed don't have your issue and they're all installed with what I vaguely remember as its program defaults. When I use the program it is ALWAYS to transfer files back and forth between MSWin and *NIX systems.
You might think about searching for hints and solutions on Filezilla forums/blogs/wikis instead these forums here.

How do I share files from Windows Vista to a Mac with Lion OSX?

How do I share files from Windows Vista to a Mac with Lion OSX? I'm having SO much trouble with this! Any help would be appreciated!!!

In a finder window, under 'shared' you should be able to see the windows computer name, click on it and connect to it. I am assuming here you have sharing turned on and permissions granted on the windows computer.
Will add a note though, I have frequently accessed files from a PC on the LAN using XP, not vista.

Transferring network user files from Windows Server 2003 to Mac OSX 10.5.8

I'm wondering if any network admins out there have a suggested method of transferring network user files from a Windows Server 2003 to an XServe running 10.5.8?
When we did the file transfer, clicking and dragging, there were a myriad permissions issues that subsequently arose. Surely there is a way to strip permissions off files PRIOR to the transfer?? Maybe not, but I'm wondering how you folks have done it.
We have had nothing but persistent permissions issues since the transfer (i.e. folks who should have access to files, being denied access, including the local server admin!!). This also translates to synch errors for network mobile accounts.
Thanks,

Copying files from Windows rips out group permissions

Hi there all,
Having some problems with group permissions being removed from files when data is copied from a Windows OS.
We currently have a network of Macs that are tied to a AD/OD structure.
We have also set a custom umask for each mac defining 002 as the permissions to be written to files.
However, when we connect to a Windows file share using the smb:// protocol and copy files/folders across to the Mac environment the umask permissions are not written correctly.
The User is given full control and the Everyone group is denied access. However, no group permissions are written at all.
We have tried altering the smb.conf file to no effect.
Could anybody shed some light on this annoying problem?
Many thanks

You have to install this version of samba as Apple have made a complete hash of implementing their own... Another massive fail from the worlds favourite consumer electrics company... Listen to the pro users leaving in droves...

Copying files from AppleTV back to my mac

I'm going to synch my entire itunes library to my AppleTV. Just curious if anything were to ever happen to my mac's hardrive, is there a way to copy my itunes library from my AppleTV back to my mac?
Thanks.

Actually, it's very possible. In fact I just did it. You do have to either have AFP access active or you have to pull the AppleTV drive and mount the "Media" volume on your Mac.
I was able to copy the entire "Media Files" directory to my Mac and then import it all back into iTunes. Not sure how, but even though in the AppleTV all the files are named oddly, like "BHCL.mp3" they all show up fine in iTunes and mostly got renamed from the embedded id3 tag info.
I've not figured out how to reconstitute the playlists, as I haven't found how they are stored on the AppleTV, but at least I got all my music back.
And, YES you should backup your music, but failing that, the AppleTV isn't a bad emergency repository... provided it's fully synced at the time of the HD crash.
Good luck!

Is there a way to move files from Windows Media player to Itunes?

I have a lot of files in windows media player from Walmart.com. Is there any way to move these into my itunes library to sync onto the Nano?

Do you know what format the video is in and if its protected? most likely you will need to convert it, there quite a few converters out there. (i can't remember any)

Is there a way to transfer files from my Ipad to a Mac Mini?

The Migration Assistant didn't work, and neither did the sharing, so I'm down to downloading files from the Ipad. I really don't want to transfer files with a flash drive, because it would take hours

The files got to the Ipad from my PC running itunes. I've been using the USB cable to sync . I wasn't able to move anything from the PC (Win 7) to the Mac Mini, so I was wondering if there was some way to sync the empty itunes on the mini with the files on the Ipad. Thanks.

Will files from QuickBooks 5.0 for Mac easily transfer to a new download of QuickBooks 2011 for Mac?

Since Lion doesn't support very old QuickBooks 5.0 installed in 2003, will installing the latest QuickBooks for Mac 2011 open up the old files? If not, any suggestions? Thanks.

Copy files from mounted pc volume to mac

Hi all,
I have a problem with the following script:
var xmlfile = File.openDialog("Choose XML");
var result = File(xmlfile).copy("~/Desktop/" + xmlfile.name);
This result is false (can't be copied) when the file is an a mounted PC Volume. (/Users/Public/Documents/)
In applescript this works fine:
tell application "Finder"
     set xmlfile to (choose file)
     move xmlfile to desktop
end tell
The source is on the same Volume.
Does javascript have a problem with accessing remote volumes?
Can someone help?
Kind regards,

Answered in your other thread. Please don't double post, it can lead to people wasting their time answering a question which has already been answered in the other thread.

Can I copy files from Time Machine to another Mac (or flash drive, etc)?

I hosed my hard drive yesterday (dropped the MBP on a hard floor). Fortunately, I have a TM backup that was done only an hour or so before the accident. It will take me a couple of days to get a new HD and install it, so I'm wondering if it will mess up the TM backup if I copy some of the files onto another system so I can continue stuff I need to do until I can restore the system.
I do *not* intend to do any work, change files, etc on the backup drive, just want to work on them on another system, then copy back *after* the MBP is restored and functional.
Thanks,
Chuck

That is very useful info! Thanks. I have a new drive in and the TM restore went fine, so I'm in business again.
So you are saying that this method will not damage TM access to the backup file, as for example in needing to do a complete restore?
Thanks again,
Chuck

Why is there such a diffrency in file size in PS cs6 for mac and cs6 pc version?

What am i missing in the mac version?

There's no difference in features between the Mac and PC version. I believe the file difference is simply due to the foundation of the application, and additional support for different OS versions.

Can i change usb device driver from windows 7 format to mac format?

A Google search turned up this device as only being sold in Arabic countries - I can't tell for sure what it is: a stereo receiver? You're just going to have to check with the manufacturer to see if there is OS X support for the device.

OS X 10.4.7 server: Samba leaking ram when copying large files from windows

Hi.
I'm having problems with:
Copying files from windows clients to OS X Server 10.4.7 uses up the RAM needed for the files to be copied.
If I copy a 3GB file, it uses 3GB of RAM
If I copy a 5GB file, it uses its 4GB of RAM, plus VM.
If I copy 11GB of files (that is several little files, plus some big by dropping a folder to the share), it consumes all the RAM the machine has, and because of VM paging, whatever other clients are reading from the disk (XRaid) start to have hiccups.
The RAM of the machine NEVER gets flushed after the copying has finished. So Samba is unusable as it is. I have four Xserves with 4GB of RAM, with 4 XRaids connected each one to each Xserve with its Apple Fiber Channel card and cables.
I already did the ack=0 thing, got the size of inet.tcp.sendspace and rcvspace to 8388608 and the buffer to 16777216.
The transfers rates are up to 70MB/s with 2 channel 1gb trunking, and at very sustained rates..
We are using these to edit video content (DV 25) in Sony Vegas with 2 or 3 clients for each server.
Any suggestions?
Thanks very much.
XServe G5 cluster node (4) / XRaid 7TB (4) Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Michael, I occasionally notice anomolous behaviour when files get dragged between volumes. Mostly the copying window shows an accurate and immediate indication of what's going on, but other times it just looks like nothing's happening, the display never changes, yet, it is in fact copying the files over. Now, if you're copying 2gb files from DVD to HD, it's gonna take some time, more than 5 minutes, so I'm wondering how long you've left it before forcing it to quit?

Boot Camp And Viewing\Editing Files From Windows

I just ordered Leopard and I'm going to putting it on my 20 Imac next weekend. My plans are to install Windows Vista home premium through boot camp. Is there a way to access files from Windows on Leopard and vice-versa? I have MS Office for Mac and Windows and I do photo editing and it would be nice to access and edit files as needed whatever OS I'm without having to reboot. Some kind of third party software available for this? Parallels is OUT OF THE QUESTION for me. I tried it a few months ago and it was nothing but a nightmare. Left me with a really bad taste for it.
Thanks.

Thanks Kappy,
I did a quick look at MacDrive and looks like what I was wanting. Will download the trial after my transition. Another question: When I install and setup Boot Camp will there be an option to format the partition in NTFS or does it do it by default?
Thanks again for the tip on MacDrive. I've only had this Mac for about 6 months and just learning what is probably old news to you.
