Network Copy Bug

A weird and unpleasant near miss happened to me recently. I have been gradually ripping my DVDs and copying VHS tapes and ancient Laserdisks, to a shared drive attached to a headless Mac Mini on my home network. I've been doing it for months and the end is in sight, about 3TB later. There are multiple FireWire drives chained to the Mini and Carbon Copy Cloner is set to copy one to another regularly. Paranoia pays. I also keep an offsite copy on yet another drive.
My MBP runs 10.9.1, and the Mini is still at 10.8.5.
I mounted one of the shared drives on my MBP wirelessly to copy some files, but realized they were larger than I had thought and would take hours. So I stopped the copy and waited and waited while the copy dialog box claimed to be "Stopping..." After a couple of minutes I assumed it would be OK to click on the incompletely copied file on the remote disk and delete it. Got the usual "This file will be deleted immediately" dialog and said OK. Then watched in horror as one by one, all the folders on the remote disk disappeared.
I had not selected all of them, just the incompletely copied file.
Fortunately I had just done a backup to one of the other drives, so 15 hours later I had restored the disk without losing my last few days worth of laserdisc recordings.
Is this the kind of issue one can expect from 10.9 trying to network with 10.8, a dangerous bug in OS X, or simply my own fault for trying to delete a file whose copying hadn't properly stopped? I am not going to try to recreate it! Today I have upgraded the MacMini to 10.9 in case it prevents this in the future.

ComboBox copy bug fix
http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-25278 - Copying the selected text in a closed ComboBox causes it to open its drop-down
The CopyOperation was triggering opening the dropDown. Added a listener for the TextInput "changing" event, storing the text value. Then in the change handler, we only open the dropDown if the text has changed.

Bug in Archive & Network Copy

Today using time capsule i've noticed some bugs in the archive of finder. When I zip up a large amount of files (all together ~50,000 files and 1.4GB) the archive progress window starts at 0KB and counts up to 1.4GB coinciding with the progress bar. However, every once in a while the count goes from say 500MB down to 120KB and starts counting up again, without the progress bar changing, and my archive finished being created with the progress bar only half way done.
None of the files being compressed were in use. No other applications we're running.

So, so far it crashes 2009 SP1, 2010 SP1, 2011 SP1, and it works on 2010 (no service pack).
It also crashes on another version of LabVIEW which can't be discussed in the public forums

ADSL / router slowed Network copying ? help ?

I have 5 computers on a small network: 3 Macs (OS 9.2.2) and 2 Windows PCs and a networked printer connected using a 8 port switching Hub. The PCs are accessed using Dave's Network 6 on Mac (3) . Each computer and the printer has its own TCP/IP address.
I recently subscribed to Telus ADSL internet following the prompts on their CD. The Internet Mac (1) is isolated by a DLink DI-604 4 port router as the network firewall. I set up the DLink DI-604 according to its instructions.
It worked, I could access the internet and share files between the Macs, except copying files between the Internet Mac (1) and the other 2 Macs was very slow, any file over 300k would take 9 minutes, larger files above that might take 20 minutes or longer.
Copying between the other Macs (2 and 3) is ok.
I removed the Dlink Di-604, reset TCP/IP to local file sharing via TCP/IP and put the network back to where it was before this fiasco started.
Sharing files between the Macs is fine except copying files between the Internet Mac (1) and the other 2 Macs is still very slow, files larger than 500k result in long delays.
The files arrive on the receiving Macs in reasonably prompt fashion, but the sending Internet Mac (1) File Copying Window seems to freeze up in a 15 minute delay.
This project got very complex very quickly, if you have any ideas or suggestions please advise as trying to get any work done is very difficult.
Power Mac G4 350 Mac OS 9.2.x

Hopefully fixed problem myself
I made careful note of the TCP/IP settings and BRAVELY chucked out all the Telus internet stuff I could find.
Copying between Macs still didint work.
So I re-installed the OS 9.2.2 software from CD disk. SUCCESS copying is now working !!
It seems the Phone company's (Telus) supplied CD software wrecked my Mac's operating system. Telus claims they are aware of the problem (but they probably didnt want to confuse potential customers with scary stories)

IOS 5 not saving Network configuration - bug

Can't find a place to report this bug so I'm doing it here...
1. Upgraded both iphone 3GS and Ipad 2 to IOS 5 - all working correctly.
2. Changed Enteprise password (due to corporate policy).
3. Now both devices require manual configuration of WPA2 Enterprise authentication whenever they are woken up. The network configuration is clearly being reset to WEP when they go to sleep.
I therefore conclude that the Authentication type is not being stored correctly by IOS 5, hence it is reverting to WEP.
Apple - please fix asap as this is severely impacting corporate use of both devices.
Thanks.

We also have deployed ain our company a number of iOS devices (iPhones, iPads, etc.). We are using WPA2 Enterprise as a security protocol and all our devices had no problem at all connecting to the WiFi network when at iOS 4. When we started upgrading devices to iOS 5, we started having exactly the problems you mention in your posts. I agree that this should be a major bug to iOS networking facilities, because it seems that it cannot store the WiFi account preferences with the correct authentication type and credentials, resulting in our devices not being able to enter the network AT ALL after being upgraded to iOS 5.
The nice thing regarding the issue is WHEN this issue occurs and when it is not. (it doesn't occur in all devices upgraded so far). If you have upgraded your device to iOS 5 from scratch (restore from iTunesand "Set as New Device" settings (no Restore from backup), then the issue emerges automatically for us.
If your user just upgrades when the iTunes message pop up appears, or manually ("Check for Updates") then all devices behave normally after the upgrade.
Something should be done ASAP, because we are facing a major problem over here...

LV2010 Network Streams Bug

It appears that you cannot create a Network Stream datatype of a cluster that contains a variant.
For example a datatype of a cluster containing a string, a variant and a boolean does not work correctly.
I am not sure if this is a bug or a restriction in the range of valid datatypes for this API.

This appears to be an editor bug with LV 2010 in regards to how the data type of the terminal gets updated. While I can't reproduce the issue you've described exactly, there's definitely issues with getting the cluster to update when changing the names of the cluster elements after wiring the cluster to the data type terminal of the Create VI. I'm generally able to get the cluster to update when adding elements to the cluster, but it's certainly possible I'm missing something from how you're interacting with the diagram. We hope to fix this issue for the LV 2011 release. In the meantime, you should be able to use the unbundle instead of unbundle by name to work around the problem. Also, I believe another work around would be to delete the wire from the data type terminal of the Create VI, save the VI, close LV, and restart LV. After restarting LV, the unbundle by name should update appropriately once you wire the data type of the Create VI again (at least it did in the few tests I conducted).

SDK 4.0.0.5: CM.jar Is Not Copied BUG-cm_jars_structure.xml.example Missing

Could someone please help me out. I am trying to fix this bug with:
SDK 4.0.0.5: CM.jar Is Not Copied into the Package To Be Deployed [ID 1315169.1]
And according to Oracle support I need to:
Solution
In SDK version 4.0.0, the cm.jar gets copied only in etc/lib folder. In the target environment it gets distributed by executing initialSetup.sh, which is part of the CM installation.
The structures/cm_jar_structure.xml should be created for the cm.jar distribution. You can see an example of the structure under the pkg scripts folder: etc/cm_jars_structure.xml.example (it just needs to be copied to structures/cm_jar_structure.xml). The cm.jar will then be copied to the correct locations in the application.
But I am missing the file cm_jars_structure.xml.example.
Does some have that file please?

Hi,

Missing Files During Network Copy?

I have recently copied data files (mostly pdf) from my windows machine to my iMac via my network when I got my new computer.
Tonight, I noticed some files that I viewed the other day on my Mac were mysteriously gone?
Being that, I verified that my old machine still had the original files that were supposedly missing. So, to ensure that I had all my files I zipped the original folder on my old computer and copied back to the Mac to a new directory. When I unzipped on the iMac, the files in question are missing again in the new directory.
What am I doing wrong? I am concerned because I have quite a bit of data that I switched over and I'm not really sure what might be missing.
Any ideas are appreciated.

It appears that if you try to copy directly from My Documents on the Mac, certain files are not copied.
Why some files are copied and other are not I have no clue but I simply logged into my windows machine and copied directly to my Mac and that seemed to work.

Error message: network copying over 31 characters not allowed, no ownership

I have a MacBook Pro and a Mac Mini on a wired home network. The mini has an outboard USB drive mounted.
I backup the MacBook Pro to that drive. I did this by turning Appleshare on on the Mini, and turning on personal file sharing. I then connect to it from the MacBook Pro by going to the Network prefs pane.
I use Silverkeeper to backup. Until yesterday all of this worked fine. Yesterday I removed the outboard drive from the Mini and added two other USB drives. Both were new, and I formatted both as Mac OS extended (Journaled).
Now, when I try to run Silverkeeper to backup to either of those new drives, I receive a message telling me that copying to the drive ("a Server (AppleShare) volume") may lose some functionality:
- files over 2GB are not supported
- Ownerships & Permissions not supported
- Names over 31 chars not supported
Hunh?
I don't understand why this just started happening, but it looks like an OS issue. Anyone?

Hmmm, with those limits, it seems that it thinks it's an HFS volume instead of HFS+, or HFS+ formatted under Mac OS 9/Mac OS 8 that only supports file sizes of up to 2 GB in size.
And Anthony has some good advice/comments on the connection method, seems HFS+ via NFS has some of those limits.

Problem joinning wireless networks (software bug?)

After the last software update (some 15 days ago), provided by Apple via download, my iPhone can not anymore connect to wireless networks. It always displays the message "Unable to join the network "....". I have gone to an Apple store and they reinstalled the basic system software but the problem was not solved. I think it may be a "bug" in this last software updating... How can I proceed?

I've tried all I could, but it isn't working yet... How can we demand Apple some attitude?
Call the Applecare support line in your local area.
Apple will continue ignoring this problem? We can see this bug (?) is affecting maybe some thousands of people...
Unles the thousands of people you can see call Apple, then nothing is likely to happen.
Can we users of this product take some active position to defend our customer rights? Apple will not give us at least some explanation? Apple is acting as it is not their responsibility!!!
Unless you call them, they are not likely to know - they don't read these forums, and millions of users don't have the problems you have.

T420 Network copy & message center problems

Dear All,
The company where I work gave me a new T420 thinkpad, but there are 3 problems with it.
Op. system: Windows 7 SP1 64bit
I have 3 problems:
1. When I would like to copy files to network, the copying process is freezing, and do not do anything. The pop-up window says: "calculating". And that is all.
I have the latest intel drivers. I use wired (lan) connection via company network with Symantec Endpoint Protection software.
2. The password manager starts twice, when windows starts with the "about" pop-up window, where you can see the information about the software. My problem is that I can not close this window, only via the windows process manager
3. Question: How message center can be uninstalled?
Thank you for your help in advance.

Scanning on a network copier/scanner

I can print to our Canon 5050 copier/scanner. But when I try to scan using Acrbat XI Pro the Canon is not a choice. It is on out network. Is there a way to scan from the canon using Acrobat XI Pro?

The requisite drivers that Acrobat needs are not available.
Many Canon network printer/scanner models have a built in create PDF feature.
Typically the Canon device can email the PDF to you (after you enter your email as required - see the user manual).
Or, the scanned image output file or created PDF can be placed in a designated, network accessed folder (again, see the user manual).
But, back to your question -- I'm saying "no" -- but, again, do a close read of the user manual.
Be well...

Why the slow network copy (USB Ethernet 7-10Mbps)?

I have the fllowing setup:
MBA running 10.5 - USB Ethernet (100Mbps) - Netgear 1000/100 ethernet hub - 1000MBps Ethernet on Mac mini C2D running 10.5 Server. The ethernet speed between MBA and mini should be 100Mbps. There is nothing else going on on the local LAN.
I am copying a huge file (Parallels volume) with rsync via ssh from MBA to mini, On the mini it goes to a FW400 connected fast Rocstor drive.
The speed I am getting during the copy is 680kB/s, which probably translates to something like 7-10Mbps raw ethernet speed with all the package overhead.
What I am wondering is this: Why is this so slow?
Message was edited by: Gerben Wierda

I am using rsync because I am synchronizing a (say) 27GB directory with many files with another machine and I do not want to copy everything every time I want to synchronize.
I tried different forms of transport:
- using the Finder to copy to a shared drive. This goes at a speed of 759kB/s or around 7Mbps.
- a direct scp from the MBA to the /tmp drive of the OS X Server (so no firewire drive involved) and the speed was around 800kBps, so again around 7Mbps.
- Using ftpd on the server:
- A local copy on the server via the network with ftp from /tmp to /tmp ran at 21MB/s, so around 180Mbps.
- A remote copy from MBA to /tmp on the server ran at 680kB/s or around 6Mbps.
Basically, it seems that so far whatever method I use, I can't get it above 7Mbps on a 100Mbps interface when going from MBA via ethernet to the OS X Server.

Bluetooth- Network CP bug in 10.5.7?

I have spent a lot of time trying to connect my BT Sony Ericsson to my PBG4
in an attempt to use it to go online.
After various tries (I even deleted all preferences) I succeeded but realized that I may have been dealing with a possible bug which my my experience less than smooth.
When I used the BT set up to link my phone to the PB, during the setup Keychain asked permission to use an existing default Ethernet connection instead of setting up a new default BT connection.
This bug does may not occur when setting up a BT phone the first time, but it did occur consistently
after I deleted the BT phone, and tried to re-install it.
Eventually I followed these steps:
1) created a new "default" BT service in the Network CP, before setting up the BT phone
2) While using the BT Set up to connect the phone, Keychain asked to use the BT default
settings created in step 1 and no longer attempted to use other existing "default" settings.
3) Enjoy your BT online experience.
Hope it helps.
3) When prompted select the

Network copying that has no problem in Finder doesn't work in Automator

Hello,
there seems to be an issue with open files:
If I drag a folder containing some open files from a mounted Windows 2003 server share onto my desktop in 10.6, then copying works fine even though files are open. 10.4. works the same, but not 10.5, I get permission errors there.
If I try do do the same with an automator program, then there will be an error message like 'file xyz couldn't be created'. In 10.4 an automator programs doing the same works fine.
Is there a trick to copy open files in automator with 10.6?
Thanks for your help.
