PC to MAC File Transfer Slowwwwwwww

How is proper to transfer file from PC to MAC?
Copying files using XP and sharepoints fast!
Copying files connecting to XP via OS X slowwwwwwwww!!!
What gives? AFP is fast between macs at 11 MB/S. Xfer between XP and OS X trying to initiate the xfer on XP to an OS X sharepoint only gives 500 kbps. ***???????????????????

when i was trying to transfer stuff from my pc to my mac, when i tried to initiate it on the mac, it was REALLY slow. when i initiated it on the pc, it went very quick. i did mine via firewire but was surprised that speed seemed to depend on which computer the transfer was initiated on. maybe try starting the transfer from the mac and see what happens?

PC - Mac file transfer?

My mac has 9.2.2 on it, and I'm trying to bring a 4.3gb file onto it from a pc with windows 2000... Can anybody help? I've looked all over the internet, but I've only found guides for mac osx...

Perhaps the easiest way to do the transfer would be to drop the Windows file into a 8 gig thumb drive and plug it into the Mac. Whether it could be translated to usable condition in OS 9 is a question, however.
You could also email the file, as an attachment, to the OS 9 machine from the Windows machine. Again, translation could be a problem. If it's pictures, should be OK. Hope this helps.

Bluetooth mac to mac - File Transfer Problem

Okay, Transfer files from one to another mac via BlueTooth File Exchange . the grouping of files were 80gb of mp3 files being pulled from a external drive being sent to my other mac's external drive as it prepared the file it ran for a period of time after a while it said out of space although it never even sent one file to the other computer it filled my hard drive of the computer hosting the external drive of files now i can't locate the source of nearly 40+ gb of wasted space can someone help?

Hi, Michael. Why not just connect both external drives to the same Mac and forget about BlueTooth?

FLASH IN MAC- File transfer

okay, I'm a newbie... trying to put flash video onto website. when i publish the files, and click on the .html, it works fine. When I relocate the files into another folder (ie, on the server or even the desktop), the .html stops working. Is there something within the code that makes it LOCATION SPECIFIC between the flv, swf, and swf players?
HELP...

Into another folder is probably the issue. If the html and the swf are in
the same folder, then they should work, if you seperate the swf to another folder then your call path int he html needs to reflect that for example:
Simple sites with just an index.html and a .swf, put together into root folder on server and would be called in the html with something like "yourfile.swf". But If you have a more complicated site and maybe have a files structure with subfolders, then your index.html must go into the root folder as default, but if you have multiple swfs or images you may have a folder called swf or images etc, so the path from the index.html must reflect that in the above case the object/embed code in the html would need to "swffolder/youfile.swf"
Check your path calls.

How to see the file transfer speed on a mac

Hi, I'm kind of a beginner with a Mac, I have worked on windows for all this years and now I have a small dilema. Can someone please tell me how you can see the file transferring speed on a mac. When you copy and paste from one drive to another, or from time capsule to my mac, etc a dialog appears showing you a progress bar and the time remaining. I would also like to see the speed of the transfer. Is it posible to see this variable?

In windows - vista when you copy or paste a folder from one location to another in the file transfer pop-up you can see the speed of the transfer.(You must press the more details arrow on that pop-up). Does Leopard has any configuration for this kind of information.
I will try iGet and write here my feedback.

File transfer between mac and windows 7

Is it possible to transfer files between my Mac and a windows 7 machine via bluetooth?
MacBook Pro OS X 10.6.4
Thanks

It will be slow, but there's no reason it shouldn't work as long as the Bluetooth hardware on both computers has the File Transfer Profile (all Macs do), and *Bluetooth Sharing* is checked in the Sharing system preferences pane on the Mac.
If the computers are close enough to send files via Bluetooth, you'd be much better off just networking them together. You can then "mount" the PC hard disk on the Mac like any other disk and move files around easily. It will be hundreds of times faster too.

Android File Transfer not working with MAC OSX 10.9.5

I have a Kurio Extreme for my child, and I have downloaded and used Android File Transfer in the past. Recently two things have changed. My OS, and the Kurio tablet. I attempted to use it today, and the device is not recognized.
I reached out to the Kurio Helpdesk and they state that the issue is either with the OS software or AFT. I have removed AFT, rebooted the computer, downloaded it again, all to no avail.
Any ideas on how to fix this issue?

This problem could arise if you have installed Kies. What it does is, it installs drivers which is not compatible with android file transfer app.
Now the solution for this problem is properly uninstall kids from your mac, to do this follow the steps:
1. Check the security and privacy settings in your system preference whether the settings for "Allow apps download from" to "Anywhere" (to set this first click the lock button on the left of your screen by entering your password, this will enable the option to be changed)
2. After you are done with the first step open the kies installation file (file that is used to install kies, if you have deleted the file, download it again) open the file there you will find an option "uninstall". Click and follow the instruction.
3. When you have successfully deleted the app, restart your mac.
4. Install Android file transfer app if you haven't done it yet.
5. Connect your android device
6. BANG! It will work just fine. Hope it helps!!

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.

Skyp file transfer on LAN slow for windows and Mac...

Hi,
We are extensively use skype and since we upgrade skype to 6.18 and above ... file transfer on LAN is super slow... to transfer file 200MB it took over 15 minutes but when i'm skype 6.16 it took about 45 seconds... can anyone lemme know to fix it or tweak it on both Mac and windows so i can speed up file transfer on LAN....

I've been experiencing the same issue. I keep having to downgrade to 6.16 and cancel automatic updates for this same reason. It's really frustrating as my work involves sendig and receiving files via Skype. Versions 6.18 and up not only are too slow (a large file, for example, that would normally take 18 hours or less to transfer takes 1 week! on 6.18 and higher) but also slow down my whole connection while surfing. 6.16 allows me to transfer at a fast speed and I can watch videos and have a 256k livestream radio going, be on a skype call and still have enough speed to download from the Internet without slowing anything down. This is completely unacceptable. I see that no one has replied to this and nothing has been done to fix this issue. I wonder if Skype even browses through these.

Is Thunderbolt file transfer working with two mac?

Simple Question.
I have two mac with Thunderbolt input.
Connect two mac with thunderbolt cable.
and i want transfer files like useing as firewire,Ethernet.
i can't add thunderbolt service in Network preference.
what did i missing?

Hey. I have IMac late 20013 with SSD and one Macbook Air SSD, both running maveriks.
After connecting them with Thunderbolt activating the interface on both under network and closeing the wifi on one of them. TB file transfer worked just fine. But if wifi was on it tends to prefer that interface and get much slower transfer. I tested with a 1gb file and it took about a second. So yes. Filetransfer works with out jumping in to target mode.

ISDN Adaptor and File Transfer for Mac Mini

Hi,
I am trying to find some ISDN File Transfer software that I can use on the Mac Mini. I have bought a Trust USB modem, but need the software to get this transferring.

You should be able to use Firewire to transfer between them I believe.

File transfer between macbook and other macs

I need to do a file transfer between my macbook and a macbook pro and my macbook and an ibook. What ways can you recommend? FTP is slow for me because it's a campus network, and bluetooth takes a while too (in the ranges of 1 to 2 hours). I believe it can be done through firewire and/or USB right?
If I were to use USb, is there any special software needed? Or will each mac detect each other as a hard drive or?
What about firewire? I understand it needs to have a hub or a server? Is that true? Can file transfers be done just via a firewire alone?
Thanks!

If you want to access your friend's files, he should enable File Sharing on his machine and you should choose Finder > Go > Connect to Server... His machine should show up in the Connect to Server dialog box. This should work with ethernet; AFAIK USB will not work.
From Mac Help:
"You can use an Ethernet cable to connect two Macintosh computers and share files or play network games.
1. Connect an Ethernet cable from the Ethernet port of one computer to the Ethernet port on the other.
2. Open Sharing preferences on both computers and turn on Personal File Sharing. Note the Computer Name for the computers.
3. On one of the computers, choose Go > Connect To Server and then click Browse.
4. Double-click the other computer in the window and enter your password, if necessary.
If you manually configured the TCP/IP settings for the built-in Ethernet configuration on the computer you are connecting to, you may need to enter that computer's TCP/IP address in the Connect To Server dialog.
To see or set the TCP/IP address, open Network preferences and choose your Ethernet port configuration from the Show pop-up menu (named Built-in Ethernet unless you gave it another name)."

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.
