Problem of file association while copying files from the network.

Hello,
I have a network shared folder with Quark Xpress files on it. I own an Imac with MacOSX 10.4.3 where Quark Xpress is not installed but I want to transfer Quark files from this network share to an other.
When I do this, the file association is missing on the copied file. The original has still the Quark icon, but the copied file has a blank icon and when trying to execute it from a mac with Quark Xpress installed, it does not recognize it (?). It's kind of a file association loose.
For information, when I do the same manipulation using a mac with OS9 and Quark installed, I have no problem with the file association in output.
Hope someone had the same situation to help me. In anyway, sorry for my English, I tried to do my best to explain my problem !

Zip the files. Select the files, Finder->File->Make Archive, transfer them, and unzip them using the Finder or Stuffit Expander.

I am having problems downloading files from the web. After a number of files are downloaded, the system become sluggish, and then hangs. I traced the problem to the download history file: downloads.sqlite.

After downloading a number of 1.0 MB files, the system became very sluggish, and I started to get lots of (Not Responding) messages when trying to download or just use Firefox for browsing. Using Performance Monitor, I observed that the Firefox executable was growing larger and larger - up to as large as 1.2 GB on a system with 2.0 GB memory. Page faults were off the chart.
Looking for a similar problem, I found one that discussed the downloads.sqlite file becoming corrupted. I first noticed that this file was over 600 MB in size, so I deleted it. I then downloaded additional files, and observed that the new downloads.sqlite file would increase in size by about 150% of the size of each file that was downloaded. Once it would get up to 500 MB in size, the system started slowing down again.
I don't know the purpose of this file, but it appears that it keeps a full copy of every file downloaded, which may be the function of a download history file, but it does not seem correct that the file should grow in size without limit, and thus impact the system.
I would also appear that the Firefox executable is trying to read the entire contents of this file each time a new file is downloaded, which does not seem right.
Temporary fix is to periodically delete the downloads.sqlite file when it gets too large and starts impacting performance.. Apparently it is smart enough to open a new file if the old one is not found. I am not sure what the correct behavior for this file should be. Apparently is does not re-initialize when a new Firefox session is initiated.
Please feel free to contact me if more information is desired. I'm not sure what details you might need to troubleshoot this type of problem.

Hi Katy, and a warm welcome to the forums!
What is the exact name of the file?
Is it aim.bin?
Which requires either Stuffit Expander, or the Unarchiver to deflate.

Office 2013 can't open word, excel files from the network after upgrade to 8.1

Hello,
Recently, I upgraded all PCs from WIN 8 to Win 8.1. After the upgrade I noticed that I can't open any word documents and excel files. Before the upgraded I have no problem opened any files. All PCs have over 500GB free space on hard drive. Other PCs that
run Win 7 have no problem open them only the one with Win 8.1. This is what I got:
I right click--> property and there is no unblocked. All files resided on the network server.
Please help.
Jimmy

Hi Jimmy,
Did you get any error message when you try to open an Excel file/Word document?
If so, you can post the error message and event log here.Also ,if you had antivirus software installed, try to disable them to test this issue.
In addition, what happens if you add the network server location as a trusted location?

I'm trying to redeem my digital copies by inserting the disk and entering in my code, but I keep getting an error message that says "An error occurred while copying "*movie* from the DVD to your computer- the required disk cannot be found"

I don't know what is going on, I have tried this with several movies as we got a few for Christmas and I keep getting the same error message- I will admit that my MAC is a couple of years old, so I wonder if it is a hardware problem with my disk drive- the error message has a smaller type message saying to check the DVD for dirt or damage and try it again, but the disks are all brand new with nothing on them at all- I have already experienced trying to get a digital copy when it has expired (stupid movie companies) and they wouldnt' let me redeem it, I worry that I will have the same problem if I wait too long to get these movies...

Using robocopy to copy files from a network share over a WinRS command line session

Hello,
Preface: Using server 2008 enterprise.
I can't seem to get robocopy to function over WinRS and I'm not sure where the problem actually lies. Running robocopy locally on the computer does work fine, but as soon as I try to run it through a remote command prompt through the WinRS client or directly with the WinRS client I get an access denied message (error 5).
I've tried using runas while logged into the remote command prompt as well, thinking that it could have been some sort of permissions inheritence issue.
I've checked the permissions on the remote file share, I've even given 'Everyone', 'Anonymous Logon' and the computer's active directory account full control over the folder and the file I'm trying to copy, but still get the access denied error.
I've tried using /COPY:DT since I read that usually resolved error 5 issues.
None of these things have worked.
I'm kind of out of ideas, I've read some blogs of people who have written powershell scripts which use winrm/robocopy so I figure I'm missing something stupid. Or maybe I've stumbled upon a bug?

Yep, I verified permissions on them all :(
To maybe complicate the issue, I looked at the environment variables for myself while logged in locally to the computer and through WinRS and they look to be the same.
EDIT: Out of pure frustration I wrote a quick console application which impersonates the currently logged in user and copies a file from the network share I'm trying to access to the local computer. The application properly impersonates the user - but does not copy the files while it's run through WinRM. When you run the application as a locally logged in user it works just fine.
WinRM must be behaving goofy :(

Weird: Backup file works fine from the network but not when moved into sandbox environment

We have a valid full backup of a database. We know it is valid, we have restored it twice from the network with no problems, but we do not have access to the network location from our sandbox environment.
The .bak file is sizable at about 9GB. The .bak file resides on our internal network, in a SAN drive. No problems there. When we copy the file from there into a sandbox environment to attempt the restore in the sandbox environment it gets corrupted. We've
tried three different times and all three different times it gets corrupted. First time we copied the file over to the sandbox the restore went up to 50% and failed. The second time we copied the file again and attempted the restore again it failed at 70%.
The third time it failed at 60%. The error message we get during the restore is "...Read on ... failed: 13(The data is invalid) Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Restore database is terminating abnormally."
Now some background here. To move the file our network team is doing this: they have this .vmdk file that they mount out in our production environment (which has access to the network location where the .bak file is), copy the file into the drive, then move
the .vmdk file into the sandbox environment(which does not have access to the network location), mount the drive in the sandbox environment, and then I have access to the .bak file from within the sandbox environment.
Something in the process of using the .vmdk file to move the .bak file from production into the sandbox is causing the file to get corrupted.
Any thoughts? Has anyone seen this before? Any idea? TIA,
Raphael

How to configure Mail software to store all related files on the network

I know that Mail software stores all files in Library/Mail under my home directory. Since I have a MacBook Air (with lesser disk space than other Macs), I'm trying to see if I can get the Mail software to read/write files to a network folder instead of Library/Mail. I have done the same with iPhoto in that it looks at the library file from the network and not the local disk. Any ideas of this can be done for the Mail software? Or if this is advisable?

you can do it but I'm not sure if it's advisable. You'd have to test and see how well it works. also, the network drive has to be mounted at all times when you are using Mail, otherwise Mail will crash.
quit Mail. Mount the remote volume. copy the directory homedirectory/Library/Mail to the remote volume and trash the original.
then open terminal and do the following.
type
ln -s
do not press enter yet. press space and drag the copied directory from the remote volume to the terminal window. press space again and type
~/Library
the result should look something like this
ln -s /Volumes/remote-drivename/Mail ~/Library
Press enter in terminal. This will create a symbolic link (it will look like an alias in Finder) to the new location of the Mail folder. Now when you start Mail it should behave normally. In case of problems, quit Mail, delete the symbolic link and move the folder back.

I have problems transferring files from PC to Mac and from Mac to Mac

I have problems transferring files from PC to Mac, and from Mac to Mac. PC to PC is fine. Nothing but problems with the Mac. One example:
While working on my PC, I open shared folders on an external HDD connected to the Mac. I click on paste to move the files. I get an error after a few seconds to a minute of trying to move several files from my PC Win 7 to Mac OS Maverick, that there is a file already at the destination on Mac. This statement is true, but it was just put there because I am copying them over in that same action. It reads 0Kb and wasn't there before I started. Then I get an error: The Action Cannot be completed because the folder is open in another program. Close the folder or file and try again..
Whether I click on it a bunch right of way or wait, it still takes about 45 seconds. I have to do it with every file and it only happens when copying from a PC to Mac. I have even restarted both computers so nothing is using any files. If I copy one file at a time, I don't get any error.
So I have one file to move, no problem. If move 5 files, The first will go fine, but it shows all 5 files in folder at once. All other files than the first show 0kb. I get the file already existing error once it starts the second file transfer, and I select move and replace. Then I get The Action Cannot be completed because the folder is open in another program. I wait or click repeatedly until it starts to move file. That file will then show something other than 0kb. When it is done, the error process starts all over. I tried checking the PC with unlocker, but the files do not show themselves locked on the PC.

Its not only French. Even certain characters in English will come across as gobblydegook from 1 platform to another. I see this in emails that likely were composed in Word & the characters don't come across.
Not sure if this is still true, but years ago someone explained that there is a standard character set & then I think its extended characters & those vary from platform to platform or language to language, etc.

Problem:
I upgraded Leopard to Snow Leopard. Everything worked fine for a month. To free up disk space I deleted some of the iPhoto flders (modfied and original images). Everything worked still fine. Shut down the computer. Next day it was incredibly slow. At the same time the indexing was running. I stopped indexing, but stll slow. Every operation took minutes. I tried all the tricks that I found in the internet (repaired file permissions, repaired disk, cleared PRAM , moved big filed from desktop, etc.). After 24 full hours of trying all this I decided to erase the hard drive and reinstall, directly from the Snow Leopard Install disk, but it fails after downloading the packages. Below is the part of the log. Then I tried to use the old Leopard install DVD to reinstall Leopard, it then sais estimated time 12 hours or so and eventually crashed, spitting out a lot of "reportcrash" in the log. What is going on? I'm running out of options. Any advice? Would zeroing the hard drive help? If nothing else I plan to buy a new hard drive, since the only explanation I have is that there is a problem with the hard driven although the disk utility says it is OK. I need a bigger one anyway. Any ideas? Thank you!

It sounds to me like your Internal Hard Drive is failing.
I recommend you buy a new one, that is a good candidate for replacing the old one, but install it in an External enclosure and Install a fresh Mac OS X on it from the DVD. You can boot your Mac from any attached drive.
The new System can be used to get some work done, check your emails, and takes the pressure off resolving this immediately. You can also attempt to salvage files off the old drive if needed.
Once things seem to be working, then move the new drive inside the computer. Failures at this point may be due to bad cable, which has been a problem in some of these MacBooks.
Use security erase, write Zeroes, one pass, to re-write every block on the old drive. Any block discovered to be bad will be replaced with spares the drive holds in reserve for this purpose. If more than 10 blocks are pared on one pass, "Initialization Failed!" will be the result. Although you can try the erase again, there is some question whether you want to trust this drive with your precious data.

Since I have installed Lion onto my iMac it's impossible to to copy any video file from the mac to an external support (ups-stick, Timecapsule). What's happened? What can I do?

Since I have installed Lion onto my iMac it's impossible to to copy any video file from the mac to an external support (ups-stick, Timecapsule). What's happened? What can I do?

If you just did upgrade Lion, give it some time. I recall having similar problems and some articles mention heavy background work after install - such as re-indexing for Spotlight etc. I couldn't even copy from folder to folder or e.g. iphoto to folder on the same disk. Went away after a day or two though.
I do however still have a problem with AFP access to one of the lion machines - kills it's network adaptors rather quickly. No luck solving this so far :|

Hi Varun,
do you want to copy or move the files??
Also can you explain the time when this movement should happen? this gives a little insight on the problem and also some optimum solutions can be suggested

Problems transfering files from PC to Harddrive on Airport Extreme.. Help!

I upgraded to an Airport Extreme to help speed up my wireless and access a LACIE 1tb harddrive between two computers - a Windows XP 64bit machine and a new macbook.
Everything works great except I cannot copy large files from the PC to the harddrive even though I can stream movies off the harddrive to the same computer and transfer small files. When I try to copy a large file I get "The specified network name is no longer available" after about 30sec even though its actually connected (I can browse and watch a movie after I get the error). The large files do show up on the HDD after getting the error but they are not working files. So frustrating.
I have read that it could be the 7.4.2 firmware but have tried going back to 7.4.1 with the same results. I have also tried backing up the Airport and restoring to default settings. Also tried installing the airport software on the PC with no luck. I am considering trying to format the drive from FAT32 to the default apple one but really don't want to do this.
Anyone have any suggestions? This is got to be the most frustrating problem I have encountered since starting my mac transition...

So I plugged in another 250gb hdd that I have lying around, formatted with my macbook and successfully backed up over 130gb worth of files via time machine. Also, tried transferring some "large files" to the same drive via the PC with blazing speed and everything works great.
So it turns out that a harddrive with FAT32 doesnt work properly with a PC.
I will be formatting my other 1tb drive now and I suspect will have similar results but this issue is odd and frustrating to say the least.

Problem uploading file from mobile device to tomcat server

Hi guys, here's how it goes.
I'm designing a site using JSP for wireless devices like PDAs, Smartphones etc, basically any mobile device that has browser capabilities. There's a page where the user is allowed to upload a file from the mobile device, which works perfectly fine when I access the site using a PC. But when I try to upload a file from a mobile device, ( I tried using a Nokia 6680 ) , there wasn't any error but the file just wasn't stored in my server.
Here's how the upload form looks like :
<FORM name="filesForm" action="ProcessFileUpload.jsp" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
        <font size="1" face="arial">File :</font><br>
<input type="file" name="file1" size="10" style="font-size: 9px;"/><br><br>
        <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Upload Files" style="font-size: 9px;"/>
    </FORM>Here's the gist of ProcessFileUpload.jsp:
<%
     System.out.println("");
        System.out.println("Content Type ="+request.getContentType());
        DiskFileUpload fu = new DiskFileUpload();
        // If file size exceeds, a FileUploadException will be thrown
        fu.setSizeMax(1000000);
        List fileItems = fu.parseRequest(request);
        Iterator itr = fileItems.iterator();
        while(itr.hasNext()) {
          FileItem fi = (FileItem)itr.next();
          //Check if not form field so as to only handle the file inputs
          //else condition handles the submit button input
          if(!fi.isFormField()) {
            System.out.println("NAME: "+fi.getName());
            System.out.println("SIZE: "+fi.getSize());
            System.out.println(fi.getOutputStream().toString());
           // File fNew= new File(application.getRealPath("/"), fi.getName());
         File tempFileRef = new File(fi.getName());
         File fNew = new File(filepath.toString(),tempFileRef.getName());
     String MM_Overall_DRIVER = "org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver";
     String MM_Overall_USERNAME = "****";
     String MM_Overall_PASSWORD = "*********";
     String MM_Overall_STRING = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/";
     Driver DriverRecordset1 = (Driver)Class.forName(MM_Overall_DRIVER).newInstance();
     Connection ConnRecordset1 = DriverManager.getConnection(MM_Overall_STRING,MM_Overall_USERNAME,MM_Overall_PASSWORD);
     PreparedStatement StatementRecordset1 = ConnRecordset1.prepareStatement("use " + domain);
     ResultSet Recordset1 = StatementRecordset1.executeQuery();
     filepath.append("/").append(tempFileRef.getName());
     StringBuffer fp = new StringBuffer("insert into ");
     fp.append(domain).append(".filepaths (path) values ('").append(filepath).append("')");
     PreparedStatement ps = ConnRecordset1.prepareStatement(fp.toString());
     ps.executeUpdate();
            System.out.println(fNew.getAbsolutePath());
            fi.write(fNew);
          else {
            System.out.println("Field ="+fi.getFieldName());
        }Basically I store the file uploaded in the tomcat server and the path of the file is saved in a table in MySQL.
When I upload a file using a PC, the tomcat console displays the content type file name yada yada yada. However, when I upload a file from the Nokia 6680, I get just the content type then things just stop there and nothing else happens. No file name no file size whatsoever. The path of the file is not inserted into MySQL and the file is not stored in the server.
Can anyone please enlighten me on this issue and hopefully gimme a solution to this problem? Your help will be greatly appreciated.
