Keep losing connection to Time Capsule while copying large files from Vista

I keep getting "Error 0x80070079: The semaphore timeout period has expired" while trying to copy large (1GB+) files from my Windows Vista Business 64 bits laptop (this OS is running on a MacBook Pro using BootCamp) wirelessly connected to a Time Capsule. The wireless connection to the Time Capsule is interrupted when this error occurs and then I can re-establish the connection. The problem seems to only occur when I copy large files or when I copy many files at once.

I believe that this problem is resolved as I describe here:

  • MacBook Pro keeps losing connection to Time Capsule HD

    I have a new 2 TB Time Capsule with a Western Digital USB HD hanging off of it.  I am using the TC for the following purposes and in the following configurations:
    Running Time Machine backups to the TC over wireless or wired Ethernet (depending on where my MBP happens to be)
    Keeping my photo library (Adobe Lightroom) and my iTunes library running off the Western Digital USB drive connected to the TC
    Backing up the WD USB drive to the TC periodically (via Sync!Sync!Sync!)
    The problem I have is that the MBP has trouble holding onto a connection to the TC volume and to the WD USB volume.  As a result, if I leave my MBP idle for a period, iTunes will pop an error message saying it can't find the library, and Lightroom will not be able to find photos or the library.
    I have OS X auto mounting both volumes on boot, but the problem is really when the MBP is left on but idle for a period of time (hour?)
    There is a setting in the WD utility that ensures the WD HD doesn't go to sleep.  The problem seems to be with the TC, not the WD HD.  Is there a similar setting for the TC?
    Incidentally, unlike other posters, I am having no problem maintaining an internet or WIFI connection via the TC.
    This issue is true over both WIFI and Ethernet, by the way.
    Any thoughts?  HELP!!

    Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to solve the problem.  ITunes still periodically complains that it can't find the library - this happens both when the Mac has been on for awhile and I first start up iTunes, or if iTunes has been running for awhile as well.  In either case, I have to click through to the Time Capsule share with the iTunes library on it.  I can tell the Mac has lost the connection because it takes some time for the share and its folders to show up as I click through the path.
    Anyone else run into this???

  • Error code 8084 when copying large files from VNX servers

    Hi,
    We are experiencing problems when attempting to copy large files from our central VNX servers (EMC) using the connection format of smb://<host>/.  With Mavericks this will be SMB2, presumably.  Anything over a few MB in size fails with the error:
    The operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -8084)
    Looking in the Console logs we see the following:
    kernel[0]: smb2_smb_read_write_fill: len got reduced, must be running low on credits
    If we attempt this on OS X Mountain Lion or below we have no problems.
    If, with Mavericks, we connect using the format cifs://<host>/ then file transfers work.
    Has anyone come across this before?  Thinking I should also post a bug...
    Cheers,

  • 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.

    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?

  • Clients Time-Out When Retrieving Large Files  From Our PureFTPd Server

    Hi, not sure if this is the right place to get help, but didn't know where else to look. And let me begin by saying I'm not a server admin by trade, but that is the role I've fell into at a design firm. So please bear with my lack of knowledge on some of the more technical details.
    We have OS X Server 10.4.11 running here with PureFTPd installed and managed through PureFTPd Manager application. It has been fairly reliable for us for the last 2-3 years once the initial setup craziness was complete.
    But lately we've had 2 clients say that they've had difficulty downloading larger files from us. They get a time-out or error message on their end. They are most likely using Windows Explorer on a PC to do the transfer, which has always been the easiest method for our clients.
    One client had no problem getting files up to 14MB or so. But when trying to download a certain file that was about 80MB, it would not work. I tried different things here, and she tried multiple times, but no luck. I tried zipping the file to see if that would help, but no luck.
    Then another client had a similar problem today with a file that was only 25MB.
    We don't send large files very often, so I'm not sure if this is a recent thing or not. It seems like we've received some large files recently though.
    In PureFTPd manager, I usually leave all of the fields in the Transfers tab empty for all users. I didn't see anywhere else that would seem to impart a file-size limitation.
    • Any ideas at all?
    • If not, any other forums that I could search for help on? It looks like the developers site for PureFTPd Manager hasn't been updated in a year or two.
    Thanks in advance!

    Some years back I had trouble at a customer that had a ADSL using PPPoE connection to their ISP.
    Their router/modem (Speedtouch) couldn't cope with the LAN MTU when they sent files out so I had to lower it on their computers (running Panther?) ethernet interface from 1500 to 1492 (PPPoE overhead was 8 byte). The communication used to stall at about 25MB but the MTU change helped resolving that.
    My guess is that the router had to fragment (split in two) all outgoing packets it recived from the LAN computers and it just couldn't cope after a while.
    In your case it can be other network related things too like maybe needing traffic prioritizing, if receiving a lot of traffic from Internet and trying to send at the same time.

  • Copying hangs when copying large files from DVD

    I'm having trouble copying large files (>2GB) from DVDs to my built-in hard drive. When I drag the file icon from the DVD window to the desktop, the progress bar pops up almost immediately, and says "0 KB of 2.3 GB copied" and "Estimated time left: 1 minute" -- and then it just sits there, doing nothing. In some cases, after five minutes or so of inactivity, the copy finally begins... but most of the time it never does. Force-Quit doesn't help; the only way out is to do an emergency restart and try again.
    This problem began when I upgraded to Tiger, and several members of my office group have been experiencing the same problem on their own computers as well.
    I've poked around the forum looking for answers but the only thing I could find that looked related was a conflict between iSight and some third-party external hard drives... but none of us have iSight, and none of us are using third-party external drives, so clearly that's not the issue we'rehaving.
    Any help out there?

  • Help copy large file from iPhone to PC

    Hello Everybody.
    I’m coding the Record application. However, I have problem with copying the file from iPhone device to the PC after recording. I used Attach File function on Email but it doesn’t allow with large size > 10MB file. I haven’t found any solution yet for this problem. iTune 9.0 has “Include Voice Memos” function, can i do the same with my application ? “Include My App” e.g.
    Anybody knows other solution for this problem?
    Thanks for read

    You could check your approach against this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.  If you are still having trouble you could try an app that will send it wirelessly, such as PhotoSync.

  • Airport express keeps loosing connection to Time Capsule

    For several years I have had no issue with mt Airport Express staying connected to my Time Capsule/router. Now 2 of my Airport Expresses keep loosing the connection and flashing yellow. I have done the resets where I press in the little button on the bottom while plugging the AE back into the power source and reconnecting through Airport Utility and that will do the trick but after a short time the flashing yellow lights will go back on.
    Would it help to turn off the router, rest all the AEs? It is so frustrating to keep loosing the connection and nothing else has changed; e.g. the AEs are all in the same place. 

    Same thing here! I didnt have the problem with airport express until I update the os from 10.6.2 to 10.6.6. I have been calling the apple support and they couldnt help (or thou sounded like they knew for that particular problem). I got from my work MacBookPro and same thing happen. I hope that apple will read this and just want to tell them that this is my 10 computer made by apple and God knows the last one! First of all they made the the fireware with the bad chipsets so I have to but extra cards and then airport. I cant connect at all to any wifi and have to put the cables on the floor from the wifi router to the ethernet input which is more than 10 metres. Apple sort this asap!!!!!!!!!!

  • Losing connection with Time Capsule

    I have two Macs, one two year old MacBook and one 4 months MacBook Air, both connected with WiFi to my new TC 2 Tb.
    Both computers loses connection with TC quite often, but not necessarely at the same time. If I shut down airport and turn it back on everything works again.
    When connection drops I can't access the TC with the Airport program and we also can't find any networks at all when moving the cursor over the airport symbol in the menu bar. The airport symbol however states that I 'm still connected to my TC. BUT I can't connect with the TC through finder when this happens...
    In the network diagnosis the bottom three test are marked as red, (internet supplier, internet, server) but the top three are markes as green,
    I know this is not a major problem since I don't have to do any reboots, but it annays the **** out of me. Is the problem related to my Time Capsule or is it a problem with the Airport software?
    I run Snow Leopard on the Macbook and Lion on the Macbook air.

  • Losing connection to Time Capsule share of slide show images

    My 10.6.latest iMac screen saver references a folder on my Time Capsule external drive over a WiFi network.
    Lately (10.6.5?), instead of seeing the screen saver images, I see a "unable to find" sort of message. I can still connect to the Time Machine through the FInder.
    My hunch is that the Time Capsule drive has gone to sleep and the OS X screen saver is timing out before it comes online.
    Anyone see anything like this?
    I'm thinking of running a script or utility that would simply access the Time Capsule NAS frequently.

    Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to solve the problem.  ITunes still periodically complains that it can't find the library - this happens both when the Mac has been on for awhile and I first start up iTunes, or if iTunes has been running for awhile as well.  In either case, I have to click through to the Time Capsule share with the iTunes library on it.  I can tell the Mac has lost the connection because it takes some time for the share and its folders to show up as I click through the path.

  • Error code -8062 while copying large file in OS X 10.8.4

    I have to copy a very large Time Machine backup file to another disk before resetting RAID 1 on my LaCie 4 GB 2Big drive. File is about 350 GB. After getting through about 2/3rd of it, I am getting an error saying " .. you don't have permissions to copy some items..." and when I click OK, then I get an error code - 8062.
    I am using MBA Mid July 2011, OS X 10.8.4, Time Machine backup on LaCie 4 GB 2Big RAID 1 drive to FreeAgen 1 TB.
    I would appreciate any thoughts on this. It has happened twice now and since the process takes a very long time, I have wasted three days on it now.
    Thanks you.

    Although the documentation says you can copy Time Machine backups in the Finder, it's very slow and sometimes doesn't work at all.
    Launch Disk Utility, open the built-in help, and search for the term "Duplicate." Follow the instructions. All existing data on the destination volume will be erased. That shouldn't be a problem, because you don't want to mix backup and non-backup data on the same drive anyway. Turn Time Machine OFF in its preference pane while copying the volume.

    You are using a 3rd party package "ftp" and the error it is indicating suggests the issue is a network issue of some sort.
    We don't have the code of that package or know what it is doing, so please consult whoever supplied or wrote the package and/or your network administrators.

  • Error copying large files from USB HDD to MyCloud

    I am trying to copy a some large files (several GB) from a USB HDD to mycloud drive using the WD My cloud software as described in this post:http://community.wd.com/t5/WD-My-Cloud/Transferring-Large-Amounts-of-Data-to-the-My-Cloud-and-a-Coupl-e/td-p/620219but the copy grinds for some time and then fails. Is there a limit on the file size or amout of data that can be copied in one operation. I am using latest software and firmware. Windows 8.1 if that is relevant. Thanks in advance.

    No, I'm using copy and paste within WD My Cloud for desktop app to avoid having to pull the files across the network. Source USB HDD is 2TB WD Elements and I am using the original USB 3 cable supplied with it connected direct into MyCloud device. I have also checked the USB disk with chkdsk while plugged into Windows. The files seem to copy if I do it over the network, but its very slow.Ah that was one small detail left out of your initial post that changes things. It is generally NOT recommended to connect a USB drive directly to the My Cloud if copying a large amount of files (or files in excess of 30 or more GB's). Slow transfer speed over the USB port on the back of the WD My Cloud units are a known issue. Search this site and you'll find lots of threads on it. The previous posts indicate better ways to copy the data from a external USB drive to the WD My Cloud.

    This is what you said:

    I see no mention of a Windows partition here.
    As I said before you should test your suggestions to ensure that they are correct, and you should do that prior to suggesting them, and It would help if you understood the difference between a file and a partition.

  • Can't copy large files from DVD

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to copy a 4.3 GB .tar file from a DVD onto my harddrive, but it will only copy about 1 GB before I get the error
    Cannot read: Input/output error
    I can copy smaller files just fine from the same DVD and other DVDs, but nothing too large.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?
    Thank you.

    Brasero checks immediately after the burn. I presume your DVD is a bit older than one day . If not, you just burnt yourself a coaster.
    I know there are some Windows programs to check the integrity of an optical disc, but I don't remember their names (nor do I know something like that for Linux).
    I would do a few copy trials, with dd. If you always see it break on the same size and you have plenty of space left, then I think there really is a problem with the data integrity on your DVD. I have done copies with dd from optical media before, and I think you can be pretty sure the data is corrupt if dd can't pull it off.
