Need to stop Windows copying files in multithread

Hello,
How to stop Windows to copying files in multithread as it is degrading copy speed from
drive to drive.
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
In my opinion, Windows file copy on Windows Explorer GUI level is not multiplethread file copying, only when using comamnd or utility like Robocopy, then we can copy file using multiplethread.
You can refer to the content of the link below for more details about Robocopy:

Windows copied files to partition, now Disk Error all the time...

Hi all,
I have installed Windows XP SP2 before (using this disk) on a Mac using Boot Camp but this is refusing to read the files Windows Installer placed on the BootCamp partition, so it can't finish the installation. Merged it back, did the whole thing again for the same result.
"Disk Error
Press any key to restart"
of course pressing keys does nothing, I have to hold the power button in for 5 seconds to shut down. I can still boot up as a Mac, just the Windows side refuses to install.
Mac Mini 1.6 CoreDuo 1MB RAM Snow Leopard 10.6.1
Any ideas anyone?
with best regards,
Karn.

Just tried for the 4th time, and I had to use the long winded FAT 32 format in the Windows Installer and success! The Quick version was what I used before I'm sure, but it didn't work tonight...
Working now anyway...
with best regards,
Karn.

External Hard drive getting errors when copying files?

When I'm copying files to my hard drive I keep getting errors that the file is in use. It was originally stopping at around the 167.8MB mark everytime when I try copying files over and giving me that error. As this is a 1TB HDD I have no way of backing it up until I get to the US (currently studying in Australia). So just wondering if anyone had ideas.
Things I've done:
- Tried using HDD over Firewire/USB and with other Macs still same errors
- Tried Disk Utility and sometimes it I get no errors with the disk when I do Repair/Verify Disk or I get an error where the disk can't be unmounted
- I get that error of unmounting when I normally unmount them and I have to unplug the HDD for it to be readable again.
- I try copying files from it or to it, and sometimes files copy to my Computer entirely even 2GB ones, but other times it stops at random intervals, and it always stops when copying files to the HDD that never works, usually stops at random times. :\
Any suggestions, help, or programs I can use for HDD repair would be great!
Thanks a lot,

Wondering if I could bump this up a bit, still having problems with it.

How can I copy my music files to my iPAD. The CDs are currently stored in folders on my PC. Note: Synching via iCLOUD won't work because I have VISTA OS and I need at least Windows 7 or 8.

Hi ladextr,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. To sync your music to your iPad, first put your music in iTunes as described here:
Adding music and other content to iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1473
Adding content on your computer to iTunes
iTunes helps you add digital audio and video files on your computer directly to your iTunes library. You can add audio files that are in AAC, MP3, WAV, AIFF, Apple Lossless, or Audible.com (.aa) format. If you have unprotected WMA content, iTunes for Windows can convert these files to one of these formats. You can also add video content in QuickTime or MPEG-4 format to iTunes. To learn how to add these files to iTunes follow the steps below.
Open iTunes
From the File menu, choose one of the following choices:
MacAdd to Library
Windows
Add File to Library
Add Folder to Library
Navigate to and select the file or folder that you want to add
If iTunes is set to "Copy files to the iTunes Music folder when adding to library," iTunes will copy all content that is added to the iTunes library to the iTunes Music folder. To adjust this setting or change the location of this folder, go to the Advanced tab in iTunes Preferences.
Once that's done, you can sync the music to your iPad by following this article:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad

I have macbook pro 13.3 inch. I am installing window 7 in boot camp manager after copying file of window upto 67% it doesn't response and i had forcely shotdown my macbook. Now my macbook doesn't open and stop in black screen with cursor blinking.

At startup hold down the Option/Alt key and from the screen that comes up select your OS X partition to start the computer from. Then use the Boot Camp Assistant app to Remove Windows and the partition you reated for it and it will Automatically place the space you allocated for the Windows install back into the OS X partition.
NOTE:
Do NOT use Disk Utility to erase the partition that was created for the Windows install. Use the Boot Camp Assistant app again to do that.

Error copying file when reinstalling Windows

I saw where someone had posted a similar question, but saw no answers. Anyway, IBM sent me a set of recovery disks and a new hard drive (unit it still under warranty) and when I try to reinstall using the recovery disks provided, it stops during disk 2 of 6. The progress bar stops just short of the end of it, and the total progress bar stops about 1/3 of the way through. I used an identical set to reinstall the operating system (IBM sent me two hard drives and two sets of recovery disks, one for each unit) on an identical machine and had the same problem. I received this error message each time in a "recov32" window that popped up:
An error copying file D:\RECOVERY\CM2ZCUS.002
ERROR 23: DATA ERROR (CYCLIC REDUNDANCY CHECK).
What does this mean and how can I resolve it? When I hit "OK", it goes on to ask for disk 3 of 6, and so on.
And while attempting the installation on both systems, it asked for a supplemental product recovery disk (the disk says product recovery supplemental disk) just prior to insertion of disk 1 of 6.....I put that disk in the drive and scant seconds later., then iit asks for it again after disk 6 of 6 has been installed. Is that normal? Then when it tells me to power up again, I can't do it using the restart button on that page.....the window is not responsive and i have to it shut it down buy manually pressing the on button. Appears to repeat the installation all over again.
At any rate, both installations have not been successful in restoring Windows XP Professional on these machines, and I'm in dire need of a solution!!
moderator note: edited post to proper sentence case for readability. please do not post in all caps as it makes things impossible to read. any further posts in all caps will be deleted without warning.

Sorry about the caps....didn't realize it'd be difficult to read.
Anyway, regarding the possibility of scratched/damaged setup disks......I have two sets, one for each laptop, and both give me the error when I try to reinstall. Seems pretty coincidental that both sets would be damaged, unless IBM makes it a habit to send out faulty software. But I tried again, got the same error when Disk 2 was installing....I went ahead and clicked OK, it asked for the third disk and darned if it popped up with the same error, but with a different file (BKD047A.IMZ). However, I'm continuing the installation in spite of the errors, but don't hold out much hope that it will be successful. If it isn't, I'll try a set of XP Pro boot disks. If that fails, I'll try an installation CD for another laptop. After that, I don't know, unless I call IBM again and have them send me replacements for the two sets of disks. Unless anyone else has another idea??

Copying files need "permission" to be transferred?

Alright so I lost one macbook but all my files were backed up. When I go to retrieve them with a new macbook I can see all of them (their HD movies about 120) my plan was to plug the laptop into the time machine for a fast transfer of the hd movies to the macbook itself. That works and I can see all 120 movies.
Next I plug the laptop into a windows computer and share the folder with all the movies so the windows computer can copy them...Not to long into the copy process the movies a majority can't be copied and I have to skip them while others are being transfered because I "need permission from (laptops name then few random looking numbers/letters)"
Only 44 of the 120 movies were transfered sucessfully to the windows computer.
I need help please, thanks guys!

When you copy files from a TM to a different computer from the original the file permissions can be messed up.. there are several ways to fix it.. the simplest I found was to simply copy the files from one location to another .. a separate partition or drive would be better.. even back to the TC as a file.. and let the windows computer then pick it up from there.. If the files were purchased then the copyright may stop you copying. Or at least opening it.. the movies that you cannot copy.. can you actually open and play them on the Mac??
I found pondini's knowledge base enourmously helpful doing this stuff.
http://pondini.org/TM/5.html
Actually there is s whole lot in the FAQ about recovery.. but disk permission is also there.
I have copied corrupted backup to another location and been able to recover files from it. It was slow and painful operation but it did work.
Even if the first copy fails .. have another try.. and try moving the copied files back to the TC into a directory created for them.. make sure you don't have users set on the TC and open guest access so the windows computer can copy them.

My Time Capsule has stopped backing up. I have an Apple Time Capsule which backs up by wireless. For the last 3 days it has not backed up. I get this message: "The backup was not performed because an error occurred while copying files to the backup disk.

My Time Capsule has stopped backing up.
I have an Apple Time Capsule which backs up by wireless. For the last 3 days it has not backed up. I get this message:
"The backup was not performed because an error occurred while copying files to the backup disk."
I have gone into Mac Help and followed this down to stage 4:
under shared it lists my time capsule and my husband's iMac - both use the time machine but we have switched his off temporarily. Clicking on my Time capsule I get "Connected" and "Sharepoint" - I didn't have to enter connect or password
I don't understand stage 5: how and where do I select the disk or volume that contains Time Machine backups ? How do I know which it is? My disk utility lists 160.04 TOSHIBA MK... with sub-heading Macintosh HD. It also lists (with a "CD" icon) HL-DT-ST DVDRW GS22N
Under stage 6, how and where do I Locate your backup ? I try dragging my Time capsule from Finder to the Disk Utility side panel but it won't go. What is my computer's name?
Please someone help! I'm completely stumped.
Thanks,
Maggie
Mac Help says:
If you back up to a Time Capsule or network disk:
Open the Time Machine pane of System Preferences, and slide the switch to Off.
Open Time Machine preferences
Open Disk Utility, which is in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder.
Open Disk Utility
Make sure the Time Capsule or network disk is turned on and available.
Open a Finder window, select your Time Capsule or network disk in the Shared section of the sidebar, and click Connect. If necessary, enter your user name and password.
On the Time Capsule or network disk, select the disk or volume that contains Time Machine backups. Depending on how your Time Capsule is set up, there may be one or more disks or volumes.
Locate your backup, and drag it to the Disk Utility sidebar.You can identify your backup by looking for your computer’s name in the backup’s filename.

Windows 7 64-bit Copying files to external usb drive - files becomes corrupted.

Hi All,
I am getting intermittent problem with regards to copying files to usb external hard drive from my laptop.
When file is copied to external drive, the file becomes corrupt from the external drive.
I have to repeat around 2 to 3 times or more to re-copy the file again until file is not corrupted.
Appreciate of any help.

Ok, lets be brief.
This problem is annoying me for years. It is totally reproducible although random. It happens when copying to external drives (mainly USB) when they are configured for "safe removal". I have had issues copying to NTFS and FAT32 partitions. I have
had issues using 4 different computers, from 7 years old to brand new ones, using AMD or intel chipsets and totally different USB controllers, and using many different USB sticks, hard disks, etc. The only common thing in those computers is Windows 7 x64 and
the external drives optimization for "safe removal". Installing Teracopy reduces the chances of data corrpution, but does not eliminate them completely. The only real workaround (tested for 2 years) is activating the write cache in the device manager
properties of the drive. In that way, windows uses the same transfer mechanisms as for the internal drives, and everything is OK.
MICROSOFT guys, there is a BIG BUG in windows 7 x64 external drives data transfer mechanism. There is a bug in the cache handling mechanism of the safe removal function. Nobody hears, I've been years talking about this in forums. It is a very dangerous bug
because it is silent, and many non professional people is experiencing random errors in their backup data. PLEASE, INVESTIGATE THIS. YOU NEED TO FIX SUCH IMPORTANT BUG. IT IS UNBELIEVABLE THAT IT IS STILL THERE SINCE 2009!!!
Hope this helps.

Copy files to windows CE 5

Hello all
I have a portable device that runs windows CE5 and I want to copy files to and from the device.
The problem is that the device only appears accessible using the windows mobile device center (I'm using windows 7) and the path is something like "Computer\PSION\\\Program Files" and that is not recognized by labview.
Does anyone know how to copy files from the device??
Thanks in advance for the answers!
Adao

hello Eric,
I have a PSION that runs Windows CE5.0. It runs a third party app that generates data files. My connection to the device is made by USB and in Windows Explorer it appears as a portable device. I can browse the files using windows explorer but the device has a strange path "Computer\PSION\\\Program Files".
All I want to do is programatically copy files from the portable device to my desktop computer and from the desktop to the portable.
I was using the "Copy Function" from the Advanced File VIs and Functions but the portable device path does not work.
I'm not using the mobile module but I can if I need to.
I have not turned off the firewall because I'm using USB connection.
Thanks,
Adao

Can anyone help me please?

If you can read the 25 character Microsoft Windows 7 license key attached to bottom of laptop , you can download a Windows 7 ISO file to burn to a DVD for the version that is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker.
Link to the Windows 7 ISO file downloads:
http://www.mydigitallife.info/official-windows-7-sp1-iso-from-digital-river/
Get ImgBurn to burn the iso image to DVD using slow burn speed.
Or use the Windows 7 USB/DVD installation tool to convert the ISO file to a Windows installation on DVD or USB flash drive.
http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/html/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool
Use the 25 character product key on the PC to activate the installation.

Call COPY FILES window dialog from FORMS 6i

Hello.
I'm working with FORMS 6i and I need to make script witch will copy all files from CD to HARD DRIVE ...
Now I'm using this command to call XCOPY DOS command and this working great...
Win_Api_Shell.WinExec( 'cmd.exe /c xcopy /y /e '||xcopy_sting, WIN_API.SW_SHOWNORMAL, false );
BUT....
I have FROM & TO destinations parameters and I want to use windows copy dialog witch will be opened by button press automaticaly..
( I mean on SMALL COPY DIALOG WINDOW when you pressing CTRL+C)
TNX

You can use a host command to perform the copy.
declare
ls varchar2(299);
begin
ls :='copy '|| source dir || destination dir ;
Host(ls);
End;
And you can create 2 text items in the form and use the get_file or win_api_dialog to get the directory name.
Use it in the above

Need to copy files to path that contains a wildcard!??!

Afternoon,
I am attempting to copy a set of files to multiple computers on the network (files are at a dfs link, no issue there).
The destination path on each computer is either:
"\\$computer\c$\Program Files\AASHTOWare\Trns·port Client-Server PES-LAS"
OR
\\$computer\c$\Program Files (x86)\AASHTOWare\Trns·port Client-Server PES-LAS"
The paths both have a "." in them. It is called a "middle dot" I think. It is centered between the two wordsin the path...When I run test-path it can see the path. However when I attempt to copy files to it, I get the "illegal
characters in path" error.
Below is the script I am working to get right, I hope)..
$file = "\\path\to\files\ITClientBuild\Specs2\specslas5\testcopy.txt"
$outfile = "c:\temp\las6copy.csv"
gc c:\temp\las6.txt | %{
$computer = $_
$ping = Test-Connection $computer -Count 2 -Quiet
if ($ping) {
$pathTest1 = Test-Path "\\$computer\c$\Program Files\AASHTOWare\Trns·port Client-Server PES-LAS"
$pathTest2 = Test-Path "\\$computer\c$\Program Files (x86)\AASHTOWare\Trns·port Client-Server PES-LAS"
if($pathTest1 -eq $true){
# md -Force "\\$computer\c$\windows\temp\las5a"
# cp -force "\\$computer\c$\Program Files\AASHTOWare\Trns·port Client-Server PES-LAS\las6cust.pbd" "\\$computer\c$\windows\temp\las5\*"
cp -force $file "\\$computer\\c$\\Program Files\\AASHTOWare\\Trns·port Client-Server PES-LAS\\*"
"$computer FILE PUSHED to PES-LAS dir" >> $outfile
else {"$computer las6 PATH DOES NOT EXIST!!" >> $outfile }
if ($pathTest2 -eq $true){

cp -force $file "\\$computer\c$\Program Files (x86)\AASHTOWare\Trns·port Client-Server PES-LAS\*"
"$computer FILE PUSHED to PES-LAS dir" >> $outfile
else {"$computer PES-LAS PATH DOES NOT EXIST!!" >> $outfile }
else {"$computer OFFLINE" >> $outfile }
My end need is to:
Create a folder on the destination workstations, copy the original file(s) to that folder, copy the newer file(s) to the paths indicated..I have had no issues previously with copying files via powershell. However this is my first time running up against
this issue.
Your assistance is greatly appreciated...(Note: I am fairly new at this...but learning all the time)
Tony.

Some reformatting of you file and removing a lot of the unnecessary and unused lines makes it easier to see where your mistakes are. There are a few obvious ones.
$file = "\\path\to\files\ITClientBuild\Specs2\specslas5\testcopy.txt"
