New to MacBook - slow LAN file transfer problem

My new MacBook is painfully slow when wifi-ing to my house LAN.
I turned in my old G4 iBook for a MacBook (2GHz C2D, 2GB, 10.4.9, all updates). I have a LAN that consists of a wired 1G Ethernet backbone (a Mini and a Powermac G5 are wired in) and a Snow AEB that provides 802.11g wifi access to the LAN. The wired LAN connects to a D-Link GB Ethernet switch so the wired systems can exchange files fast. The switch connects to a D-Link EBR2310 router that connects to a cable modem to ComCast. The router has the latest firmware (1.05, it's an 'A' version router).
The Mini, G5, and MB are static IPs on the LAN. The D-Link router passes out DHCP addresses >100, with addresses <101 reserved for static LAN IPs. I use static IPs for network reliability when recovering from power outages and other unforeseen glitches. The LAN has worked very well in this configuration, with fast file transfers among machines and good stability.
With my old 802.11g G4 iBook, I was able to watch DVDs that are stored on an external FW drive connected to the Mini. No stalls, no pauses, no dropouts - MenuMeters showed an average throughput of about 700KBytes/sec on the iBook when viewing a DVD. I used both VLC and DVD Player with good results.
With my new MacBook, I can't view my DVD files. 802.11g network transfer rates to the MB (indicated by MenuMeters and by Activity Monitor) vary rapidly from a high of about 1.1 MBytes/sec to 20 KBytes/sec. Movies stall, skip, etc.
Simple file copies from one system to another are also much slower with the MacBook - an average of ~100KBytes/sec vs. ~ 1.5 MBytes/sec with my old iBook. In short, the MacBook is dog-slow in file transfers from the other machines compared with my old iBook when using the wifi connection, with no change to the network infrastructure in going from the old laptop to the new. I would like to fix this.
My AEB is set up in bridge mode (simple access point) with WPA2 security. All three Macs are completely current with latest updates, as is the Snow AEB. The MB has 4 bars of signal strength. Slow file transfer problem does not change when moving the MB to or from the AEB.
Curiously, when I download a large file (like the Intel 10.4.9 combo update), the MB shows a steady ~800KBytes/sec download speed, with none of the speed variation it shows with file transfers from either the Mini or the G5. File transfers to/from the MB to either of the other Macs are very slow.
Both the Mini and the G5 have Airport cards: when I switch them from wired Ethernet LAN to wifi LAN, they transfer files between each other at ~ 2MBytes/sec - about what you'd expect from an 802.11g protocol. So the slow file transfer doesn't seem to be due to the AEB, it seems to be specific to the MacBook. When I connect the MB using its hardware Ethernet port, files transfer just as fast as the other systems.
I have tried these measures, without effect on the problem:
- power off/restart of every component in the system;
- changing the AEB to an open network mode;
- changing the MB from static IP to DHCP;
- toggling IPv6 on/off;
- running no applications other than Finder on all systems;
Activity Monitor on the MB doesn't show anything sucking up CPU cycles during file transfers. I have plenty of RAM. The only thing I've changed in the network is the swap of the iBook for the MacBook.
Can anyone suggest what else I can try to make acquisition of this nice shiny MacBook a step forward, rather than a step back? Thank you!

Hi,
Did you want to use the Live Migrations for that?
We recommend that you configure separate dedicated networks with gigabit or faster speed for live migration traffic and cluster communication, and these networks should be separate from the network used by the management operating system, and from the network
used by the virtual machines.

  • File transfer problem

    I have a 2009 intel iMAC running 10.6.8.  Several months ago it developed a file transfer problem.  When transferring files to an external server via ethernet cable, most of the time it will only let me transfer one file at a time whether is a small word document or a large video file that is several gigabytes.   Even with transferring just one file, the elapsed time bar will not indicate the file has completely transferred.  It stays open and appears as if it is still trying to transfer even though the file size transferred is equal to the size of the file.  Plus the only way I can close the the transfer bar is to relaunch finder.  Then when I go to the folder it was transferring it to, the entire file will be there.
    Suggestions?

    Have you tried restarting the external drive and the computer?

  • TC - Painfully Slow for file transfer. How to solve it (PC + MAC) ?

    I have a dell laptop and a mac book air, both connected to my TC. Transferring files is a joke. I am a novei mac user. How can this slowness issue be fixed for both the pc and mac? As I am writing this, i am currently doing a software update on my macbook air, getting 10.5.3 now. Does this solve it?

    Similar problem here.
    iMac using 802.11n to connect to time capsule. Time capsule configured to use 802.11n (b/g compat), and WPA/WPA2 security.
    Typical transfer rate (file transfer from imac to tc) of about 2Mbps. After reboot of the TC, speed can sometimes hit 6Mbps.
    I have played with the security settings. After a softboot with new config:
    - no security, 802.11n mode: 12Mbps throughput
    - WEP security, 802.11n mode: 8Mbps
    - WPA/WPA2 security, 802.11n mode: 6Mbps
    Enabling interference robustness seems to have little or no effect.
    All of these speeds are significantly lower than what I'd expect.
    No other devices were on the wireless network during the testing.
    I've read that alot of others are having similar issues. I suspect that most of these devices are running extremely slowly, but most people aren't bothering to check throughput.
    Would love to know if there is a real fix out there. 802.11n should be much much faster than this. If I could reconfigure the TC to use 802.11g, I would.

  • 4500EA LAN File Transfer Speed

    My XBOX started complaining when I began using Windows Media Center to stream videos from my PC to my XBOX. I found out that I had a wireless G router provided by verizon which wasn't fast enough to stream videos. SO, I went out and purchased a 4500EA router expecting it to be the fastest thing I had ever seen.
    Now it seems a bit slow when trying to stream video from my laptop to the XBOX and i'm a tad bit confused as to why. So I did a file transfer from a desktop wired directly to the router from a laptop in the same room wirelessly connected to the network and my speed is about 4mbps. 4MBPS!? This device is supposed to be capable of moving packets LAN side at 450MBPS.
    Both of my PC's are quad core, newer  model PCs. I've tried moving files now for several hours with the same results. I've toyed around with my wireless adapters, changed power settings, full duplex, half, changed mtu sizes, changed security settings. I'm out of ideas.
    Is getting about 1% of the advertised bandwidth normal? Or is something wrong?

    1. Without knowing the wireless adapters you use it's impossible to say how much you might get under very good circumstances.
    2. The advertised 450 Mbit/s is as usual with networking the theoretical boundary which would be possible only under absolutely ideal circumstances not using 802.11. In reality a compatible adapter might get maybe 1/2 of that under very good circumstances.
    3. In reality you often won't get a 450 Mbit/s or 300 Mbit/s connection rate (which is only an indicator for the signalling and encoding used) but only a 144 Mbit/s connection at least for the 2.4 GHz band because there is too much interference.
    4. Toying around with settings usually makes things only worse, in particular if you don't carefully revert all settings back to the original settings.
    5. What connection rate did you get with your desktop? What adapter is in the desktop?

  • How do you install CS5 onto a new computer without Time Machine/file transfer

    I'm not getting a new computer, but my current one is getting a little old (Macbook Pro V. 10.6.8) and I'm afraid it might crash if I download the newest Maverick system, which is why I want to make absolutely sure I'm able to save and transfer all my old files and CS5 Creative Suite programs if this indeed happens. I don't trust Time Machine to do it; my boss had this happen and Time Machine did not transfer the Adobe programs. I also don't want to rely on Time Machine and any other file transfer (which all new Macs offer) because I've had brand new computers crash because of old corrupt files from my old computer converting over, and the Apple people said it's a bad idea (which would have been nice to know BEFORE the computer crashed and everything. . .) I've been told you can only use the CD to install CS5 onto your computer twice, which I've already done (thanks to my brand new computer crashing once already). So I would like to know how it's possible to install the program onto a new computer should this one crash, without the use of file transfer or Time Machine. I have no interest in upgrading to CC.
    Thanks!

    Avoid using Time Machine for re-installing Adobe software. It rarely works and usually breaks the activation mechanism.
    I've been told you can only use the CD to install CS5 onto your computer twice,
    Not quite.
    You can install the software as many times as you like but you can only activate the software for use on a maximum of two computers at the same time.
    To re-install you will need your CS5 serial number.
    Download the installer from Download CS5 products
    Install then enter your serial number when prompted.

  • N96 PC file transfer problem

    Hi, I have just bought a brand new N96 few days ago. Everything was fine at first but when I tried to transfer files from PC to phone using latest version of Nokia PC Suite i ran into problems. File transfer just freezes in the middle of the transfer and a message says something like "connection to the phone lost" . This does not happen all the time, sometimes i transfer e.g 2 songs and on third it freezes. It happens also while installing *.sis files, and transfering images, videos, etc.
    Message Edited by casualiis on 23-Nov-2008 05:26 PM

    I hope you are using the usb cable!
    for transferring a large number of files to the handset, it is a LOT quicker to put the n96 into 'mass storage' mode.
    open the menu, open tools, open connectivity and select USB. change the usb mode to mass storage.
    once you have reconnected the handset, it will appear as drives under my computer.
    dont use PC suite when in mass storage mode, as it wont work correctly (and it will moan at you)
    NOTE: you will now need to unplug the phone from the computer using 'safely remove hardware' that is next to the clock in windows, or you will end up damaging data.
    also, if you still cant transfer files to the computer in this way, you might have to do a disk check.
    mass storage mode is a lot quicker than pc suite mode!
    Give it a go, and report back!

  • Firewire File Transfer Problem/  Dual Drive G4 to iMac

    Bought a new iMac. My old G4 (OSX10.3.9) has two internal HDs (30Gb & 40GB <my startup>) but only 30Gb drive shows up in target mode. Can't mount 40 Gb drive on iMac desktop to do file transfer when G4 is in "Target" mode? Called Apple "help" and was told to connect FW cables with a "Powered FW hub". No luck! Only 30GB shows up (Disk 0) and 40Gb (Disk 1) doesn't mount! Any suggestions?
    Louie ([email protected])

    Mike and Karn
    Thank you both for your helpful and knowledgeable suggestions. Earlier this afternoon, I took my G4 to a local Mac store where the tech fixed the "problem" in 5 minutes for NO CHARGE. He just moved jumpers making the hard drive I wanted to use as a "target" now readable and the other as the slave. I have busily been transferring stuff to my new iMac.
    Too bad the "Applecare" telephone "tech" which I waited well over an hour to speak with a few days ago did not the simple and correct answer but instead told me to by a "powered firewire hub"!!
    Thanks, Louie

  • Incoming file transfer problem

    Whenever I accept a file transfer from a friend, iChat freezes up and the rainbow wheel shows up. After a few seconds, my whole computer becomes agonizingly slow. Just switching between apps or waiting for the dock to appear can take around 5 seconds. I have to force quit iChat and wait for my computer to calm down a bit before opening iChat back up. After I re-open it, I'm able to accept the file transfer immediately without trouble. However if I accept a file transfer later on, the same problem occurs.
    I've looked around, but haven't been able to find any information about this problem. Help is much appreciated.

    In iChat > Preferences > Accounts > Server Settings what port is iChat logging on to the AIm servers with ?
    If it is port 5190 log out of AIM and try port 443

  • Large file transfer problems over client/server socket

    Hi,
    I wrote a simple chat problem in which I can send files from client to client. The problem is when I send large files over 101 MB the transfer freezes. I do not even get any error mesages in the console. The files I am sending are of any type (Ex mp3, movies, etc...). I am serializing the data into a "byteArray[packetSize]" and sending the file packet by packet until the whole file has been sent, and reconstructed on the other side. The process works perfectly for files smaller than 101MB, but for some reason freezes after that if the file is larger. I have read many forums and there aren't too many solutions out there. I made sure to use the .reset() method to reset my ObjectOutputStream each time I write to it.
    Here's my file sending code:
    byte[] byteArray = new byte[defaultPacketSize];
    numPacketsRequired = Math.ceil(fileSize / defaultPacketSize);
    try {
    int i = 0;
    reader = new FileInputStream(filePath);
    while (reader.available() > 0) {
    if (reader.available() < defaultPacketSize) {
    byte[] lastPacket = new byte[reader.available()];
    reader.read(lastPacket);
    try {
    if (socket == null || output == null) {
    throw new SocketException("socket does not exist");
    output.writeObject(lastPacket);
    output.reset();
    output.writeObject("DONE");
    output.reset();
    output.close();
    socket.close();
    catch (Exception e) {
    System.out.println("Exception ***: " + e);
    output.close();
    socket.close();
    else {
    reader.read(byteArray);
    try {
    if (socket == null || output == null) {
    throw new SocketException("socket does not exist");
    output.writeObject(byteArray);
    output.reset();
    catch (Exception e) {
    System.out.println("Exception ***: " + e);
    output.close();
    socket.close();
    reader.close();
    catch (Exception e) {
    System.out.println("COULD NOT READ PACKET");
    Here's my file receiving code:
    try {
    // The message from the client
    Object streamInput;
    FileOutputStream writer;
    byte[] packet;
    while (true) {
    streamInput = input.readObject();
    if (streamInput instanceof byte[]) {
    packet = (byte[]) streamInput;
    try {
    writer = new FileOutputStream(outputPath, true);
    writer.write(packet); //Storing the bytes on file
    writer.close();
    catch (Exception e) {
    System.out.println("Exception: " + e);
    else if (streamInput.equals("DONE")) {
    socket.close();
    input.close();
    break;
    catch (Exception e) {
    I'm looking for any way I can possibly send large files from client to client without having it freeze. Are there any better file transfer ways other than socket? I don't really want FTP. I think I want to keep it HTTP.
    Any suggestions would be helpful.Thanks!
    Evan

    I've taken a better look a the code you posted, and
    there is one problem with the receiving code. You
    keep repeatedly opening and closing the
    FileOutputStream. This is not going to be efficient
    as the file will keep needing to be positioned to its
    end.Yes sorry I did change that code so that it leaves the file open until completely done writing. Basically I have a progress bar that records how far along in the writing process the client is, and when the progress bar reaches 100%, meaning the file is complete, the file.close() method is invoked. Sorry about that.
    I also ran some memory tests using the "Runtime.getRuntime().totalMemory()", and "Runtime.getRuntime().freeMemory()" methods. I put these methods inside the loop where I read in the file and send it to the client. here's the output:

  • JME Socket File Transfer - Problem with writing file

    Hi everybody, i'm trying to code a P2P app for a school project and i have a problem when trying to write to a file.
    This method recieves a file form a Socket Server computer that tries to send me a file to the mobile client.
    The method recieves the IP adress (String add) and the port of the server.
    Also, i would like to know about the buffer(byte) size.
    This codes runs well in emulation, but it doesn`t write to a file.
    And the main problem is:
    "When i run this in the mobile, the file is created in the cellphone memory with a size of 0kb."
    The server code was tested with a computer client and recieved the file succesfully.
    The server recieves de socket connection form the cellphone without problem.
    public void recibirArch(String add, int port) throws Exception {
    try
    recibArch.setText("Espere por favor...");
    long start = System.currentTimeMillis();
    int bytesRead;
    int pasos = 12;
    int current =0;
    SocketConnection sock = (SocketConnection)Connector.open("socket://"+add+":"+port);
    byte [] mybytearray = new byte [1024];
    InputStream is = sock.openInputStream();
    FileConnection fc = (FileConnection) Connector.open("file:///"+saveRoot+"5letras.txt",Connector.READ_WRITE );
    if( !fc.exists() ){
    fc.create();
    } else
    fc.truncate(0);
    DataOutputStream fos = new DataOutputStream(sock.openOutputStream());
    bytesRead = is.read(mybytearray,0,mybytearray.length);
    current = bytesRead;
    while ((current = is.read(mybytearray)) != -1)
    fos.write(mybytearray, 0, current);
    fos.flush();
    current+=bytesRead;
    long end = System.currentTimeMillis();
    fos.close();
    sock.close()
    catch(Exception err)
    String error = "ERROR: " + err.toString() + "\nDescripción: "+ err.getMessage();
    System.out.println(error);
    txtLog.setString(error);

    Thank you Tunde for looking at my issues!
    The file size is not an issue here. We tested with empty files or files with smaller than 1KB sizes. They all showed problem. The frequency of file transfer shouldn't be a problem either. Through some user interaction on front panel, a couple of files will be transferred. That's basically how often the file transfer occurs.
    Interestingly enough, I replaced the copy.vi with a subvi I created using DOS command with System Exec.vi and the issue of copying files went away. My co-worker tested on both XP machine and Windows 7 machine. The DOS command worked fine thru Lavview's System Exec.vi. I think I can take that as a work-around if we can't figured out why copy.vi wouldn't work. Still, it would be nice to know why it doesn't work.
    Now I'm still facing some issues with the usage of Check If File or Folder exist.vi. Sometimes it can detect the existing files and sometimes it doesn't.
    Thanks very much!

    The sniffertrace shows that the ISE 1.2 is sending TCP RST after about 30MB file transfer. If we run the command serveral times, it stops exactly after the same amount of transferred bytes.
    The disk utilazation looks OK:
    iseadm01/admin# dir
    Directory of disk:/

    We have Another ISE (monitor node) and the problem is excact the same on that node.
    Thanks

    On FileZila click on the User Accounts Icon. The dialog box will show you  defined users. By default only anonymous is created.
    So you need to create a local ftp username and passowrd. Then assign it a home directory under shared folders. This will be the dfault location a remote clietn will look for files and where you would find the ISE upgrade package, for example.

  • Bluetooth File Transfer Problem with Video Clips -...

    Hello!
    I am posting this problem even though a similar one is claimed to be solved ...
    I have a similar Problem with BT video clip file transfer in my E5-00 as someone had earlier with music files (SW up to date). Except that in this case the files are unique video clips received from one of the latest Samsung Android phones via Bluetooth (don't ask me which format).
    Tried the obvious first, using Windows File Manager over USB. Even Windows Search could not locate the files, not even using wildcards.
    Also tried using Ovi Suite Syncronisation, but the files did not appear in either Photos/Videos or Messages (even though the files are in the SMS Inbox - does not make sense why). 
    The problem in applying the solution approach presented here for Music seems to be that the files cannot be played at all in my E5-00's. Therefore I don't get as far as to the menu where the E5 would ask whether or not the files should be saved or not.
    So far I have not been able to connect to an old bluetooth laptop (Windows XP) so that the Bluetooth Exchange would connect let alone seen whether the BTexchange works in this case or not.
    Is there any other chance of getting to the files through the directory structure? If so, please give me the (Windows) directory path? Any other advice than switching to Android?

    Unfortunately I have reached an impasse.  If I touch a video clip (in organizer) the system crashes.  I mean locked up cold. I'm not sure what has caused this but I do know that I will not be able to communicate correctly or sufficiently with you in order for you to help me out.
    I've found PS and Premier to be very difficult to work with.  Very, very frustrating.  Photography, both still and video, is not as enjoyable as it once was.
    Again, I very much appreciate your initial help and if I get to a point where I've improved my situation ... I'll reach out again.  Thanks

  • AOL Instant Messaging File Transfer Problem

    Hey guys, I recently got a Macbook, I changed from Windows and am just getting used to the layout and everything. I downloaded AIM, and have gone and tried to do File Transfers but a window pops up that prevents me from doing so. I went to Preferences and set all the correct Firewall and Fire Transfer options, yet still, a message comes up, saying
    "The File Transfer with [friend] failed. A proxy connection error occurred.The connection may have timed-out while waiting for your buddy to connect to the AOL proxy server."
    Please help as soon as possible!
    I am deeply grateful.

    First, don't bother with AIM software - Just use iChat. iChat is a Universal app and AIM is not.
    It can use your AIM account. Had you done a file transfer with this person before?
    Some servers don't play well with others, plus if the other user is on AOL software, I haven't been able to ever make that work.

  • New update on itunes- no file transfer in adobe reader?

    I can not tranfer files from my computer into adobe reader on my ipad in the new itunes. There is no longer a left hand menu to go to apps and the new menu under apps just shows your apps but does not give any options for transfer.. please help. I transfered into ibooks first but need to take notes. Since the new update has changed itunes I can not find the options to trasfer my files.

    If you scroll down the Apps page you will find the the file transfer section further down the page. Although you have to have added an app that supports added files first.

  • Imaging Multiple Computer - Slow Boot File Transfer

    When imaging say 15 computers, the SCCM 2012 boot file transfer is slow.  Is this normal or some setting that needs to be set to fix this?  Thanks.

    If you are running R2, do you have this fix applied?

    You can also try to adjust the TFTP block size to speed it up.

    Or you can try to use multicast to speed up many machines.  I'm pretty sure it only applies to OS and not the boot image.
