Lenovo Thinkpad X1 - Extremly slow file transfer through e-sata

Hi there! I have got another issue with my notebook - the file transfer through e-sata is extremly slow (about 5MBpS). Using Windows 7. Where could be the problem? Thanks.

Hi Gabbi,
thanks for posting. You might want to check in your control panel which Lenovo preloaded software are installed. One software which I've seem has caused this issue is the Lenovo Rapid Shield and and Lenovo Airbag Protection.
Could you try disabling them and check for the changes.
do let me know..
regards

Extremely slow file transfer from wifi server to MacBook Pro

I am experiencing extremely slow file download speeds from my wifi server to my MacBook Pro. I have just carried out a test - transferring a 16.5Mb folder took 8 mins, 24 secs. Transferring the same folder to my iMac G5 takes less than 3 seconds. Also, copying the same folder from my MacBook Pro to my wifi server only takes 22 seconds. Any suggestions PLEASE!!!!!

Try getting it on the Mac using something other than iPhoto.
In Windows, it would simply be a matter of opening Explorer and copying the file(s). I'm fairly certain that Mac has a similar feature, but I'm not familiar with Macs.
Not really an iPhone issue... more of an issue with the application being used to import the file.

Extremely slow file transfer speed

Hello,
Has anyone else had problems transferring files between computers over a 802.11g network? Recently, I found that transferring files via wireless has become incredibly slow. This morning it took about 10 min to transfer a 25MB file from my MacMini to my MacBook Pro. This was not the case several weeks ago.
In terms of updates, neither have the notorious Airport Extreme 2007-001 update installed. Though, I did have to reinstall OS X on the Mini to roll it back. The MacBook Pro does have the Security Update 2007-001 installed where as the Mini does not.
Specs:
Wireless Router: Linksys WRT54GSv4
MacBookPro - 2GHz Core Duo
MacMini - late 2006 - 1.66GHz Core Duo
Thanks

is there a way to find out why "a file is in use" / what process is using it, and kill that process?
Yes. Launch the Terminal utility and enter this command:
sudo lsof | grep "sometext"
That character after "lsof" is a "vertical bar", which should be on the far right of the row with "P". The first character of "lsof" is a lower-case letter "L". The text "sometext" should be replaced with at least part of the name of the file that seems to be locked. The quotes aren't necessary unless there's a space (or one of a few other odd characters) in the text you put in the command. After you type the text, press <return>. You'll be prompted for your administrative password.
If the culprit turns out to be Finder, try clicking on the Finder icon on the Dock while you hold down an "option" key, then choose "Relaunch".
how can I find out if some process is accessing the Time Capsule hard drive, keeping it busy and making the transfers slow?
That's a little harder. You could launch Activity Monitor and click on the "Network" tab in the lower part of the window. I'd also check the quality of the signal to the Time Capsule
If you have an Apple AirPort base station, I'd use the advice in this thread to investigate the signal and noise levels that each Mac sees, as described in this thread:

Slow file transfer - ethernet + firewire issue?

Here's the setup -
Win98PC > ethernet (direct cable connection) > iMac G5 > Lacie d2 FW drive
Connection (100BaseT) works, logins work fine, browsing folders & files is fine. But when I transfer files from the WinPC to the Lacie drive through the iMac G5 it is unbelievably slow. Same thing if I use one of my other Macs in place of the WinPC, so it looks like a network or iMacG5 issue, not a WinPC issue.
On the other hand, if I use Airport to connect a WinPC, eMac or MacBook to the iMacG5, the file transfers are blindingly fast.
Is this perhaps because the FW & ethernet controllers in the iMac G5 are the same PHY chip? Is this some kind of contention for bandwidth through the PHY chip? (The Airport card in the iMacG5 is on a separate bus, not connected to the Ethernet/FW PHY chip, which makes me suspect something is up with the ethernet/FW controller.)
Anyone else encounter a problem like this with slow file transfer through your iMacG5 to an external FW drive?

Martin, that's really interesting. I've noticed slow network transfers in the past but always racked it up to overhead and parity errors inherent in the OS's. Never thought it might be the PHY chip, though it certainly could be. Apple has a broadband tuner which might help you by increasing packet size (but you probably knew that as a Level3). My stopgap is to do the file transfers with firewire, but your laptop may not have that option.
You could maybe copy to the mac over the network, then copy a second time to the LaCie. Not elegant or clean, but will save you time. Kinda like taking the backroads to avoid rush hour traffic - it's farther to go but you get there faster.
I'll look into the controller question. Let us know how you're doing,
Ed

Time Capsule slow file transfer

I am having experiencing extremely slow file transfers compared to my Airport Extreme. Renewing leases temporarily helps, but only temporarily. Slowness does not coincide with Time Machine activity. Mac Pro connected via gigabit ethernet, MacBook Pro and iMac 802.11m.

ocean103-
Designating a Mac as a File Server and turning on File Sharing may be a better solution for you. Apple recommends against using that as someone's someone's private Mac (because File Service would compete with the private use) but that choice is clearly up to you. It does not have to have a fast processor, but faster I/O would be better. In schools, we find that GigaBit Ethernet provides near-Hard_Drive performance for File Sharing. Windows File Sharing is available, too, if you need it.
You can take it a step further an dedicate a Mac to running Mac OS X Server software, but in many situations that is overkill. If you also want centralized Print Spooling, a private Mail Server, Web Sharing, or many other services, a dedicated Mac running Mac OS X Server can be a real benefit.

Extremely slow file downloads from the 'net (Pavilion G5460uk)

We have an HP Pavilion G5460uk desktop with Windows 7 (64-bit) updated to SP1 and current, and use IE10 and Chrome. Protection is by Norton360 supported with Spywareblaster and Spybot S&D, and also access to Norton 'Eraser', ESET scanner and Sophos virus remover. The PC is ethernet-cabled into the router but with also use other laptops etc wirelessly (all all these are working fine, with the same antivirus setup etc, without the problems we have on the HP desktop).
Performance on the internet seems fine EXCEPT that the desktop is now extremely slow at downloading any files (to the point that it is timed-out on the servers). It is impossible to download anything large onto it directly from the 'net(we are using the other PC's to transfer files) - although MS updates seem to get on OK.
We tried HP 'Support Assistant' which recommends two updates: Ralink Wireless Network Controller (sp58084) & 802.11n WLAN (sp60924) updates. Of course we cannot download these directly but it is unclear whether these are relevant to the problem anyway.
It does not appear to be a network/internet, software currency or virus issue. Some setting somewhere? Please can someone advise on what now needs to be done.
This question was solved.

Matter now resolved! We thought that we had covered everything before bringing it here. But just one dodgy router port connection is all it takes. Thanks for your time.

TRUE CHALLENGE-Extremely Slow File Navigation

I have not been able to find any information on this topic. When I open a file from Acrobat, navigating through folders is EXTREMELY slow. It is also slow when I scan documents to Acrobat;not the scan, but navigating to the folder I want to save it in. I only have this problem in Acrobat. All other programs are instant click.

Thank you for trying. Unfortunately, the box is already unchecked. It is strange that when I access a different Acrobat/Reader on a terminal server it navigates extremely fast. When I try to "save as", or when it ask me for a file name, or when I scan someting to a PDF and it ask for a file name, it takes forever to get to the folder to store the file.

Steps for File Transfer through FTPS...!!!

Hi ,
Can anyone please tell the steps for file transfer with FTPS.
Does PI file adapter has bulilt in feauture to handle this? or
Do we need to deploy anything to handle this?
Do we need to install any certificates by requesting from partner or It will do the encryptions/authentications on its own?
Any additional Steps we need to mention in File receiver adapter while we send the file through FTPS?
File is going through port 1090(unsecure connection) but it is not going through port (990) which is a secure connection.
Please suggest me.
Thanks
Krupakar

Hi Shabarish,
We got the certificate from the partner and loaded into the trusted CA's. I tried running by giving
Connectivity Security as "FTPS for Control and Data Connection" and Command Order as "AUTH TLS,USER,PASS,PBSZ,PROT"
Ip: XXX.YY.YY.ZZZ
Port: 990
User and pwd.
and I am getting the same below error
Message processing failed. Cause: com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.RecoverableException: Error when getting an FTP connection from connection pool: com.sap.aii.af.service.util.concurrent.ResourcePoolException: Unable to create new pooled resource: iaik.security.ssl.SSLCertificateException: Peer certificate rejected by ChainVerifier
I tried by selecting different options like
1. Without selecting the X509 certificate for client authentication.
2. Keystore as TRUSTED\view\entry-cert
X509 certificate and private key as TRUSTED\view\entry-cert
3. Keystore as TRUSTED\view
X509 certificate and private key as TRUSTED\entry-cert
4.Keystore as "view"
X509 certificate and private key as "entry-cert"
Please help me in this.

IM System File Transfer through NAT

Hi, i have operational IM system with server and client and i want to implement file transfer. Not that it was any difficult but i want to make it server independent to relieve it.
What i want to is establish direct connection between transferring clients. The problem is, how to deal with guys behind NAT.
I have seen many topics here and on other forums dealing with it but they were direct questions in advanced development of this issue and i want to ask if there is any way to do it without reconfiguring the client routers (some of them behind IPS's Gateway and owning own wifi router) or not. I would like to know your ideas or experiences on this matter how start with this or where to look for it. I certainly dont want to do some ip tunnelling through RMI or similar.
Regards ~

When connecting possibly NATed peers, there are three main scenarious:
* All peers have a public IP, no NAT anywhere: Easy, simply connect
* At least on peer has a public IP, no NAT, some or all other peers are NATed/don't have public IP: public peer acts as a server of kind/hub
* Everyone is NATed: not it's getting very, very tricky.
Especially for the third kind you will need to implement several different techniques.
Keywords to google for are UPNP (to reconfigure the router for port forwarding) and NAT piercing (fooling both routers to think it's an outgoing connection).
Good luck.

Extremely Slow File Menu Office 2013 (Word, Excel and PowerPoint), but everything else is perfect

I have Office 2013 installed on my Windows 8 (now 8.1) computer. For about three weeks, all programs in the office suite ran perfectly. However, an extremely annoying problem suddenly appeared, which has been plaguing me for the past two weeks: The file
menu is EXTREMELY slow consistently across all programs in the Office 2013 suite. There's a very noticeable delay, about 2 or 3 seconds, between when I click the FILE button, and when the file menu actually appears. Similarly, all options within this menu
are laggy. Typically, the program will enter an unresponsive state for those few seconds and then promptly recover. I haven't lost any data to this issue yet, but it wastes my time.
I don't have much more than the essentials installed on my computer. Drivers for my motherboard, NVidia graphics card, Office, web browser and about 6 other trusted programs.
Any and all help appreciated. Thanks.

Slow file transfer between Mac & PC Network - bad checksums?

Howdy all. I've been having a persistent issue with transferring files from my Mac to my Win2003 server. The transfers are always much slower than they should be (compared to the PCs on the network with lesser connections), but even more puzzling, is that it will often go to 95% (or thereabouts) and then take twice as long to finish the remaining percentage as it did to transfer the vast majority of the file.
It's all gigabit from point to point and I've swapped patch cables, router ports, etc.. with a known good performing WinXP box to see if that would make a difference, but it didn't.
I've searched the forums and found some mention of mysteriously slow file transfers using SMB, but nothing conclusive.
I ran a LAN monitoring util on the Mac during a xfer and below is a snippet of the results from the log. No dropped packets, but lots of bad checksums?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ed T.

While I have never tried it, Mac supports Firewire networking (TCP/IP over FW) and I know that some PCs do likewise. Mine does.
That being said, it's possible to link your Mac to your PC with a FW cable (both ends must be the large type of connector) and if so, you can transfer at 400 MB/s.
To enable FireWire networking on your Mac, in the Network preferences, at the bottom of the left pane, click the + sign and in the popup window, add Interface: Firewire.
As I said, I have never used it but in theory it would work. It's not at all like using the Target mode, this is a "hot" FW network link that can directly connect two computers.
IMO, it's worth a shot.

When I bought the computer the usb transfer speed, was fast, but have become very slow over time.
I've tried to do a clean install of OSX but it has not helped

This is a know issue for last 2 years and there has been no response from Apple. I guess its time to ditch mac and install Ubuntu.

Slow file transfer from pc to mac

I've got two windows xp home pcs and two macs (a mac mini and an ibook). The windows PCs are connected to the wired network and both macs are wireless.
When I try to initiate a file transfer on either pc to either mac, the file transfer is really slow (slower than I think it should be). It's very annoying.
Does anyone have any idea what causes this and how to fix it? Thanks.

I've got some more information: when Windows NT initiates a file transfer to the mac using windows file sharing, the transfer speed is fast. It's XP that has the problem. Is this a windows XP problem or a Mac OS X problem? Last time I checked, the macs were both able to communicate with each other just fine.
Ok, here's the transfer speeds approx: a 100mb file is normally quickly transferred in about a minute. When the windows xp machine tries to send to the mac, the transfer will take many times longer to complete.
Can anyone help with this problem? Anyone at all? Please? I'm annoyed about this issue.
So, what's the fix? Please. Thanks.

Extremely slow file copying over airport extreme network

Hi,
I have an Airport Extreme Base Station (10/100) network, also connected to the internet. When copying files from my MacBook Pro to a USB drive connected to the base station, OR when copying files to another computer (a windows machine) the throughput maxes out at about 700 KB/sec which is 10 times slower than when copying to the USB drive connected directly to my MacBook Pro. Although I have updated everything to the latest and greatest versions, I still have very slow file copy speeds. It's always been this way. I've read dozens of threads for potential fixes but none of them have helped. I am using Activity Monitor to measure the throughput and also timing the copy of a 10GB file. At these speeds, that file takes 4 hours. Useless.
My base station is within a few feet. I've tried different channels, 2.4GHz, 5GHz, getting rid of WPA, you name it. At first I thought it might be some issue with the USB drive connected to the base station, but copying to another computer on my network is the same. It is very frustrating.
Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks. I thought about buying the TC but I'm worried that if my network is operating slowly, which it appears to be, that I'm not going to get the throughput. I also noticed that my windows machine which is on the same network accesses the internet faster as well. I'm wondering if it is something with my MacBook.
BTW - I went to school in Pittsburgh. Great great town.
