Large file transfer for windows computer

i made an hd-movie which size is about 6 gb and would like to give copies to friends with windows computers. i have an external drive with a fat 32 partition, but it's not possible to copy the file on this drive, i think the limit is about 4 gb with fat 32 formatted disks. any idea how to manage this?
one of my employees has a mac with windows running on it, can he copy the file for me? the external drive has two partitions, one fat 32 an one os journaled, is windows running on a mac able to read an os journaled disc and copy the file on the fat 32 partition?

If you don't know, then look something up.
exFAT (Extended File Allocation Table, also sometimes referred to as FAT64) is a proprietary, patent-pending[2] file system suited especially for USB flash drives,[citation needed]
(EXtended File Allocation Table) An enhanced version of the FAT file system from Microsoft that uses less overhead than NTFS. It extends the maximum file size of 4GB in FAT32 to virtually unlimited.

As to NTFS being 'experimental' in which universe is that in? Mac NTFS drivers are sold by major companies for over 3 yrs and MacFUSE (a well respected developer of considerable talent and knowledge of operating systems I might add).

How do I move large files from a Windows computer to my MacBook Pro? There are a lot of photos (tiffs

How do I move large files from a Windows computer to my MacBook Pro? There are a lot of photos (tiffs, jpgs, some photoshopped files), iTunes library, word docs. Is there a particular type of external hard drive that can be used or am I limited to copying stuff onto z-drive and moving that way?

If both computers are on the same network, you can share the files from the Windows host using SMB and mount the share on the Mac. Otherwise, the Mac should be able to read (not necessarily write) any storage device formatted in Windows.

iPhone contacts: file transfer to Windows 7 via USB-cable
My iPhone can communicate with the computer only via USB-cable (no mobile data, no bluetooth, no internet, no outlook). As I want to get the phone to the "doctor" I want to save specifically my contact data and calendar details on the computer (OS: Windows 7). How can I solve this task? I will appreciate your valuable information, thanks.

Using the iPhone, the USB cable, iTunes and Windows Contacts, sync the iPhone contacts to Windows Contacts. That will save them there. They are also included in the iPhone backup made in iTunes, and if you use iCloud.
I'm sorry, I missed the calendar part the first time I looked. For calendar, you need a supported application on the computer (Outlook) or if you use iCloud, you can use the iCloud contacts and calendar app to sync.

Leopard Upgrade and Loss of File Transfer to Windows PC

Loss of File Transfer to Windows PC - I successfully upgraded my MacBook to Leopard with the following exception where I was previously able to transfer files to a Windows PC. I can still connect to the PC but unable to see the folders in "finder" or move files over to it. I can still do this however from my other Mac (iMac) which is still on Tiger. What would the upgrade have done to prevent file transfer being done?
Thanks Neil

I had similar problems with browsing Windows shares... Initially I performed an Upgrade installation of Leopard. A temporary work-around was to use the IP address of the Windows computer.
For example (in the Connect To Server dialog) use:
smb://<IP address>/sharename
Obviously, you'll have to determine the local network IP for your Windows computer and know the name of the share. You can do this by opening up a CMD window and issuing the following command at the prompt:
ipconfig/all
Hope that wasn't too "technical".
Note: What fixed the whole problem for me was to perform a clean installation of Leopard... Now all the Windows computers on the network appear under Shared in the Finder sidebar.

Device name missing for windows computer

Hi,
I am following the article http://myitforum.com/myitforumwp/2013/11/08/scom-2012-override-free-space-monitoring-for-page-file-drive/ and at the stage of creating dynamic members for a group, in Windows Computer, I do not see a "device name"
field for Windows Computer?
I am on SCOM 2012 R2 UR3. When doing this from the console, it's not the console on the management server (if this matters).
Thans

Hi,
How about doing this from your management server?
Have you import Windows operating system management packs to your management group? If not, please first download the management pack from the below link:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=9296
And import it to your management group.

MacBook Air, can I partition my Mac external drive to have an ISO image file location for Windows downloads?

Have you plugged the USB cable into the computer also as the brightness is controlled over USB. If this does not work, you would need the Apple Display Driver for the version of Windows that you are using. The display driver is part of BootCamp software that you may be able to find online

SharePoint Foundation 2013 Optimization For Large File Transfer?

We are considering upgrading from WSS 3.0 to SharePoint Foundation 2013.
One of the improvements we want to see after the upgrade is a better user experience when downloading large files. It can be done now, but it is not reliable.
Our document library consists of mostly average sized Office documents, but it also includes some audio and video files and software installer package zip files ranging from 100MB to 2GB in size.
I know we can change the settings to "allow" larger than default file downloads but how do we optimize the server setup to make these large file transfers work as seamlessly as possible? More RAM on the SharePoint Foundation server? Other Windows,
SharePoint or IIS optimizations? The files will often be downloaded from the Internet, so we will not have control over the download speed.

SharePoint is capable of sending large files, it is an HTTP stateless system like any other website in that regard. Given your server is sized appropriately for the amount of concurrent traffic you expect, I don't see any special optimizations required.

This post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or view of Microsoft, its employees, or other MVPs.
I see information like this posted warning against doing it as if large files are going to cause your SharePoint server and SQL to crash.

"Though SharePoint is meant to handle files that are up to 2 gigs in size, it is not practically feasible and not recommended as well."
"Not practically feasible" sounds like a pretty dire warning to stay away from large files.
I had seen some other links warning that large file in the SharePoint database causes problems with fragmentation and large amounts of wasted space that doesn't go away when files are removed or that the server may run out of memory because downloaded
files are held in RAM.

Cannot use iTunes to transfer music files except for one computer login.

Info: We have 2 laptops in our home, both on Windows Vista SP2. Both iTunes 10.5. I recently got an iPhone 4 with iOS 5.0.1, on Verizon, 8 GB.
I have only one Apple ID as far as I can tell, but I do remember being forced to change my login name to an email address, and make my password more complex. During that time, I think my other laptop was inoperative. I had to install a new hard drive and reinstall Windows and all apps from scratch. The two laptops do not have identical music libraries.
Apps sync only on the first computer and user login I used the iPhone on. The other computer doesn't show the same apps and warns me that if I sync with it I might replace the apps on the phone with what's in its apps list. How do you ensure that either laptop can sync the iPhone without wiping the content off? I want to backup to both laptops.
I cannot transfer any of my music files from the second laptop at all. I get a cursor with the red slash circle. I can transfer files on the original computer, but I have to be logged on as the one computer user account. It's like every connection except this one computer account can maintain my iPhone properly.
Anyone else have a similar problem or have a fix?

Use only one computer as the mother ship to sync with a device.

Network Drive Losing Connection During Large File Transfer...

Hey, everyone.
Recently bought an Airport Extreme and LaCie USB HDD/Hub for my hybrid Windows/Mac home network. I formatted the drive with FAT32 as instructed, and hooked it up.
My first order of business was to back up all of my media on my Windows desktop machine, but it hasn't been working out so well. A short while after starting the 35+ gig transfer (a few minutes at most), I get an error message saying the the destination folder is no longer there. Sure enough, checking 'My Computer' shows that the drive is now a 'Disconnted Network Drive'.
Cycling power on everything and rebooting Windows restores the network drive, but the core problem remains.
Anyone else seen this and have any idea how to deal with it?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi,
I'm having the same problem. Here's the relevant parts of my setup:
Airport Extreme
HP printer and Western Digital "My Book" 500 G USB drive connected by 4/1 usb splitter
MacBookPro connected via Gigabit
Windows XP PC connected via Gigabit
My media I loaded on the usb drive by directly connecting the usb to my PC, I've also loaded other iTunes media to the usb drive from the mac book. If I point iTunes on the PC at the usb drive I can play the media just fine. When I try to copy large files (700 MB) from my PC to the usb drive (via the airport) I'm told the destination folder isn't there. I've also noticed the windows tooltips telling me that it lost the internet connection, and if I have the airport utility open on my mac it also looses the airport for a few seconds. I am able to copy small files (largest that's worked so far is 1.6 MB) the usb drive via the airport.

Files transfer to Windows PC

I have a power PC with system7 installed. I wonna transfer all data files to a windows PC. And I have some Aldus Page Maker files in there and I wonna convert them to the Adobe PM. How can I do this. I am a newbie for the MAC. Please help me. My email is ruwan.alahakoon (at) yahoo (dot) com

There are several ways to do this.
Some of the PowerPC Macs had built-in Ethernet when delivered. See also the technical specifications. An external AAUI to RJ-45 transceiver may or may not be needed, depending upon the Mac in question. If you wish to use Ethernet, please post back with additional information about the computer model.
All PowerPC models should have an operating system with PC Exchange (look for it in the Control Panels folder). This means that PC-formatted floppies can be used for transfers. However, the file size limit will be somewhere around 1.3 MB.
You could connect a MiniDIN-8 serial port (Modem Port) on the Mac to a DB-9 serial port of a PC by combining a Macintosh hardware handshake modem cable (MiniDIN-8M to DB-25M) with a standard PC null-modem cable (DB-25F to DB-9F). A terminal emulation program with file transfer capabilities (such as the communications section of ClarisWorks on the Mac and HyperTerminal on the PC) is used on each computer.
If both computers have a modem, transfers via terminal emulation software can be carried out over the public telephone network instead (two lines required, one for the Mac and one for the PC).
A variant would be a direct modem-to-modem connection (in principle as in KB article # 22229.
With a modem for the Mac, and Internet software (if not already on the hard disk, it is not difficult to install a couple of small programs), you could use e.g. email for transfers.
The transport of an unprotected Macintosh file to a PC will result in loss (or damage) of the resource fork (that is, one of the Mac file parts). The remaining data fork is, usually, sufficient for documents. Check the Save as dialogue on the sending Mac and compare this to the Open dialogue of the receiving PC. Try to find a "common denominator" file format.

File transfer from windows

I used the migration assistant to transfer fils from my Windows pc to my new MacBook Pro, but the transferred files only show up in a new user created by the assistant I supose and I cannot access them from my user account. Can anybody tell me how to transfer them to my user account or access them from my user account ?

youreally, really need to back up and learn baics about computers.
I'm not trying to be difficult, but to make your life easier. Tough love or whatever.
Every computer on the planet has a file system that uses the analogy of folders inside folders.
Start on your desktop, double click your hard drive. Double click on users. Then on your user folder (generally yourname or whatever you log in with) then on documents. You will see your document files (but not, for example, musci or videos - those are in music and videos, and not all the support files for mail, etc.
But the bottom line is you really must know where your stuff is, or, if you prefer not to, call a service to come and help you (at $XXX per visit).
My bigger concern is that you'll never find all those support files like mail settings, bookmarks, etc. that migration assistant should have brought over. I would tend to delete the user that was created, and start over, carefulyl following the instructions to get them to YOUR user folder.
All your stuff on a mac is in /users/you
on a PC its in /users (or is it user files?)/you (fancy that)
Explaining every step here is asking too much, really, for either of us.
