MacBooc Air slow on reading and transferring file on a Windows NT network

I have McBook Air running OS 10.6.
I'm working in a company having a network and server managend by Windows NT.
Opening files on the server takes a long time.
Checking .pdf files take long time (seconds and seconds) to see the pre-view of the files. More time to open them.
I.e. using a PC windows based, tan take 1 sec; with my mac i need 10 secs. More bigger is the file, more is the difference.
a pdf file of 2 Mb takes 20 sec to show the preview only.
what can i do?

I like to add some additional information. I'm Running
Mac OS 10.6 in our company. The problem is that when we try to move a file from a Windows 2000 server to the new MacAir, the transfer speed is way to slow (350Kb/sec). I know that Macs running OS 9.x work just great accessing the Windows server, the speed is just like using a windows machine (this has been told to me from a friend).
The McAir is taking about 30 minutes to transfer a 100mb file.
Any possible solution?

I want to use my 1TB Seagate Hard drive for time machine and transferring files from Mac to PC.

For about a year I've been using my 1TB external hard drive for only time machine. To be honest, it wasn't until today that I tried to connect my hard drive to a PC and realize it isn't compatible. I read about partitioning the hard drive so that it can work both for time machine and transferring files between pc and mac. I'm not what you would call tech savvy, so I was wondering if I can get some advice on how to do this.
Thanks in advance.

To do it, you have to partition the hard disk, so you will have one partition for Time Machine and another one to store files and use them in a PC and Mac. To create the partition, follow these steps > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU3.html
In order to read and write in the external disk on the PC, you have to select "MS-DOS (FAT)" as "Format". If you choose any other option, the PC won't be able to read your external disk. Apart from that, note that you can't use files bigger than 4 GB with FAT. If you want to use the external disk with files bigger than 4 GB, you have to format your new partition in exFAT, and you have to do it on a PC

When will Apple have a searchable text reader and upload file capability?

When will Apple have a searchable text reader and upload file capability? I have a large text file I need to upload to my iPhone, search, and dial.
Anything planned?

I had a Palm the I used for work and travel it had a very nice application called DOCUMENTS TO GO. It allowed you to upload, view, and edit .doc, .xls, and .ppt files. this was very handy when traveling. Also, I could sync my palm with my iMac and work PC using bluetooth, took care of the file transfers as well. I would like to have the same capability on my iPhone. I bought it to replace all of my old stuff i need it to the same as my old stuff. I hope that Apple reads this and gets on the ball. Until then I still have to carry my Palm or thumb drive on trips.

Quickest method for reading and writing files

Hi
I need help regarding file operations.(Reading and Writing). Currently I am using BufferedReader and BufferedWriter to read and write files. But the files (XML) are very huge files(from 30 -50 mb). This is slowing the application to a great extent. Is there any other approach to perform the above mentioned operations on XML files in a fast manner.
Thank You
Mansoor.

Very high log file sequential read and control file sequential read waits?

I have a 10.2.0.4 database and have 5 streams capture processes running to replicate data to another database. However I am seeing very high
log file sequential read and control file sequential read by the capture procesess. This is causing slowness in the database as the databass is wasting so much time on these wait events. From AWR report
Elapsed: 20.12 (mins)
DB Time: 67.04 (mins)
and From top 5 wait events
Event Waits Time(s) Avg Wait(ms) % Total Call Time Wait Class
CPU time 1,712 42.6

control file sequential read262,625 384 1 9.6 System I/O
db file sequential read 41,528 378 9 9.4 User I/O
Oracle support hasn't been of much help, other than wasting my 10 days and telling me to try this and try that.
Do you have streams running in your environment, are you experiencing this wait. Have you done anything to resolve these waits..
Thanks

Welcome to the forums.
There is insufficient information in what you have posted to know that your analysis of the situation is correct or anything about your Streams environment.
We don't know what you are replicating. Not size, not volume, not type of capture, not rules, etc.
We don't know the distance over which it is being replicated ... 10 ft. or 10 light years.
We don't have any AWR or ASH data to look at.
etc. etc. etc. If this is what you provided Oracle Support it is no wonder they were unable to help you.
To diagnose this problem, if one exists, requires someone on-site or with a very substantial body of data which you have not provided. The first step is to fill in the answers to all of the obvious first level questions. Then we will likely come back with a second level of questioning.
But when you do ... do not post here. Your questions are not "Database General" they are specific to Streams and there is a Streams forum specifically for them.
Thank you.

Grant an account rights to read and modify files in all Redirected Documents folders?

We have set up redirected Documents folder with the default recommended permissions that does not grant Administrators any access to the folders. If an administrator needs access to a folder, they take ownership of the folder, grants themselves permissions
and does whatever they need to do with the folder such as delete it or give access to a new person. This is rarely needed so it is not a big deal.
However, we now need to import everyone's Outlook PSTs (stored in their redirected MyDoc's so they are backed up) into their new Exchange Archive mailboxes. We will also need to be able to verify all PSTs are gone from the file server
once the contents are imported into their archive mailbox. We also need to be able to run reports showing which users are storing music and video files in their folders and how much.
When I tried to run Windirstat against the share containing the redirected MyDocs folders to see what file types where taking up space, I got very incomplete results even with using psexec running as system account due to inadequate permissions on the user's
folders.
We also need the PST Capture Tool to have rights to read into their documents folders and move any psts found into the users archive mailbox.
Rather than having to go to each user's redirected documents fiolder one by one and take ownership to change permissions, is there a more efficient way to have an account running the PST Capture Tool and WindirStat have access to read and change files in
the user's redirected documents folders?
I thought of just removing the option in the GPO that says "Grant the user exclusive rights to My Documents," but I don't think that will work on pre-existing
folders that already have permissions set.

Hi,
Based on my research, if you already have a bunch of existing redirected My Documents folders set up with the
Grant the user exclusive rights to My Documents check box selected, the only documented way to regain access to the folders is to take ownership of each individual folder and manually edit the permissions to give the Administrators group full
control.
We can use powershell script to help regain access to the folders, for more details, please go through the below link:

If the HDD is formatted NTFS, then it suggests that there is a problem with the PC. Check with the manufacturer.

Have you accepted the license agreement for Reader?
If not, go to C/Program Files (or Program Files (x86))/Adobe/Reader 11.0/Reader
Double click the "eula.exe" file (it may just say "eula")
Accept the license agreement.
Open Reader and you should be able to open PDFs.

Office 2010 & 2007 - Excel and Access File Locking Out On the Network With Multiple Users

This is also posted in the Office 2010 - IT Pro General Discussions, but was suggested to repost here, since a definitive answer was not found.
Hi,
An issue that's happening is that Excel and Access files are locking on the network. We're currently using Office 2007 and 2010.
Here are some different scenarios that are happening:
When opening the file it is locked out by “User X” which is the person that has the file locked out and no one else can open the file.
When opening the file it is locked out by “User Y” which is NOT the actual person, but is locked out by “User X” and no one else can access the file.
When opening the file it is locked out by “…another user” which is generic and no one else can access the file.
The two more common events are incident 1 and 2 with 3 happening the less common.
This message will continue until the sessions are closed through computer management on the file server.
The file server is running Windows Server 2003.
This does happen on both Windows XP and Windows 7 clients.
This does happen for users using Office 2007 and Office 2010.
There are two sets of Office 2010 Users when it comes to patches. Everyone has the most current patches with Office 2010 SP2 while anyone that has Microsoft Project 2010 is using all the current update before Office 2010 SP2.
All users that are using Office 2007 have all the current patches and service packs.
Another variable is that we have users that will leave a file open on the network for 3+ days and after a while it will lock the file out.
Also we have Shadow Copy that runs daily on the system which I'm not for sure if that impacts anything if a file is opening during that time.
Any ideas on how to mitigate the lock out issues would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Binary Process
Edit November 12, 2013: This issue can occur if and if not another person actually has the file open. If the person doesn't have the file open then there is a hung connection which needs to be disconnected by going to the Computer Management of the File
server.

Hi Binary,
I know that the description of the hotfix does not relate to the issue. The purpose is to install it for upgrading SMB related file.
A similar issue I encountered before:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/b7fcc59b-52d9-4a02-863a-1a529bcb8cb1/temp-doc-etc-files-dont-close-after-a-file-closes-this-causes-locked-files?forum=winserverfiles
It is resolved by upgrading SMB files so maybe it will help on your case.

Adobe AIR 4 Not reading a XML file larger than 10MB

I have an application where the XML file could be over 10MB in size. I am using XMLHttpRequest to read the file in. However, on Air 4, it results in null when the file is greater than 10MB in size. This was working until I updated to AIR 4. I can go back to a previous version of AIR and the loading of large file works.
xml = new XMLHttpRequest( );
xml.onreadystatechange = function( ){
if( xml.readyState == 4 && xml.status == 200){
b[language] = xml.responseXML.documentElement; //Results in NULL when file size is greater than 10MB
var tempTxt = "Loaded Database";
xml.open( "GET", file.url, false);
xml.send( null );
Why AIR limited the file size and any work around for this? The Request processes fine and readyState will become 4. However, xml.responseXML.documentElement will respond with a NULL.
Thank you

It's difficult to tell what it is, it looks like a binary
pipe symbol but I can copy it from TextPad for example. Some of the
characters following it cannot be copied from TextPad which I
assume is because it's null. I can read the whole file in C#/.Net
and assign it to a string variable without any problems but perhaps
Air is somewhat limited to binary content.

Read and Write files in Windows Vista

Im trying to make an AIR application that reads a file from
the users document directory and then try to save it again when
user have made the changes. It works fine on my mac, but when i try
it on windows vista im getting the error code #3003 "File or
directory doesnt exist", but it really DO exist. What am i doing
wrong.. is there some security issues that i have missed? i have
tryed with applicationStorageDirectory aswell and
applicationDirectory, but nothing works. Very greatful for some
advice on what im doing wrong.
/Andreas
_sellerFile = File.documentsDirectory ;
_sellerFile =
_sellerFile.resolvePath("faktura/data/seller.xml");
var stream = new FileStream();
try
stream.open(_sellerFile , FileMode.READ);
var xml = XML(stream.readUTFBytes(stream.bytesAvailable));
stream.close();
seller = XMLParser.parseSeller(xml, this);
displaySeller();
catch(e:Error)
errorMessage("Varning!", e.getStackTrace() + ", url: " +
_sellerFile.url + ", path: " + _sellerFile.nativePath, "show");

Are you seeing any issues when you open the file in a text
editor? May be it is worth to take a look at permissions for the
file for your vista user and the ownership of the file (properties
-> Security). According to the documentation FileStream.open
will throw error if there is no read permission on the file. Hope
it's a physical file and not a link to any virtual store location.
In the worst case, rename the existing file, manually create a text
file and copy contents from original file to the new one and try.
Good luck :)
