Problems with file copying/moving

Hi!
I've got 2x 120GB Maxtors in SATA0 RAID configuration, and one WD 100GB on the IDE bus. Now my problem is, that I can copy files with no errors, but if I do a Cut 'n paste, the file is either corrupted or cannot be read???
I have no idea how to fix this nor where to begin, I was thinking of doing a complete reformating of the drive to see if this would fix it, also CHKDSK does not uncover any faults with the disk(s).
Is it a driver problem/BIOS problem??
Running the latest off. BIOS of 1.4
[EDIT]
The drives are connected to SATA 3&4, also the files cannot be deleted afterwards if I perform the Cut 'n paste :( So they are just sitting there using space...
However this problem is not there on the IDE drive?? I can cut'n'paste just fine. Also if I cut'n'paste from the SATA RAID to the IDE drive, it goes fine, so it seems when I cut'n'paste from one place on the array to another on the array, that it goes wrong
[/EDIT]
Thanks
Denis

If you have divx installed on your system unistall it then update the program. Check this link out for the details.

This is a nasty problem with XP SP2 and divx.

Problem with File.copy() -- should this work?

I'm trying to copy a number of script files (I'm testing with just one) out of one folder into another. Here's the code:
(function() {
var myFolder = Folder(getScriptPath().parent + "/disabled");
if (myFolder.exists) {
    var myScripts = myFolder.getFiles("*.jsx");
      for (var j = 0; myScripts.length > j; j++) {
      if (myScripts[j].copy("../enabled")) {
        myScripts[j].remove();
function getScriptPath() {
    // This function returns the path to the active script, even when running ESTK
    try {
      return app.activeScript;
    } catch(e) {
      return File(e.fileName);
} // end getScriptPath
What's happening is that the file in the disabled folder is simply being deleted. This means that the copy method is returning true and yet the copy didn't happen. Perhaps my URI is wrong, but if so, the copy should have failed. The file is not in either the InDesign or ESTK packages, which seem to be the only two worth looking in -- I was running from ESTK with InDesign CS4 targeted.

You can set the current folder like this:
Folder.current = "/d/test1/test2"
Then change to that current folder's parent using
Folder.current = ".."
But you can't use .. in file masks. This won't work:
var myFiles = Folder.cuttent.getFiles ("../*.jsx")
The only way of using .. (as far as I can see) is with literal filenames:
myFile = '../nonsense.txt'
which points to nonsense.txt in current folder's parent folder. But this is unclear as you dont't have a reference to the current folder in your statement. I agree that using relative file paths is vague and it looks as if they're best avoided.
Why copy() returns true when in fact it hasn't worked looks like a bug. I've tried it a couple of times and on Windows it gives the same results as with you: copy() says true when nothing's happened.

Weird problem with files copied to PC - No Audio

I have a weird problem; perhaps someone knows the answer.
Using Quicktime Pro (latest version), I copied a file and replaced the audio with a new track, then saved it. It plays fine on my mac, plays fine on my networked PC, +as long as I play the file directly from the mac hard drive.+
Now - when I +copy the file to the PC hard drive+ and open it, the audio is gone.
Also, when I upload the video to my website and try to play it, the audio is gone.
Anybody have any idea why this is happening?
Thanks in advance!

I'm having the same problem. I have a web music video I added a logo to on my Mac.It sounds and plays perfectly on my Mac, but a PC will not play it. If I export to a different file type, there is no audio (even on my Mac). It is showing an AAC codec in my .mov file. Any ideas?

Problems with File Transfers Over Firewire 800

Problems with File Transfers Over Firewire 800.
Over the past month, I have had problems when transfering files from my harddrive, over Firewire 800 to a portable drive. I usually transfer very large files (20gb or more) to the portable drives for moving files around. When I drag a file over to copy onto a drive, the transfer starts normally. If I drag more files to copy over, the computer screen goes darker and a large icon comes up that looks like a power button icon. It tells me to restart, so I have to do a hard shut down on my G5. Weird. I also get the dark screen of death sometimes when I am transfering those large files and open another application to do some work while it's copying. It's killing me. I am having to sit here and wait for the transfer to finish before I can do anything.
Any thoughts...

Error while opening pdf in reader in windows 8:Can't open this file. There's a problem with file format

I have a problem with a pdf file which does not open with reader in windows 8 but it opens properly with adobe pdf reader. All other pdf can be opened in reader.But when i open a pdf(see this link for pdf for which i got error http://incometaxsoft.com/temp/Form.pdf)
it gives error as "Can't open this file. There's a problem with file format".
The same file opens properly in adobe pdf reader.You can check the pdf file which i have mentioned in the link above.But the reader which comes with windows 8 can open some other pdf in the same PC.What may be the error causing this??

This has turned out to be an enormous issue for me as I sell PDF files as ebooks. I have done a fair amount of investigating this for my system.
My files have to be compatible not just across readers but across operating systems.
To date, I have over 200 PDFs that have functioned flawlessly across Mac, PC (Windows 7 and below), Android, iPhone/iPad, Linux.
I personally test my PDFs using a variety of readers and PDF editors including
PDF XChange (my favorite)
Foxit (runner up for me and I recommend for most people)
Adobe (the bloated monster)
Nitro 9 (great for moving graphical elements around)
ABBYY
And the Nuance PDF Create toolsets
Those are off the top of my head. There are a bunch on Android that I test with too.
I am running the Windows 10 Pro Tech Preview and I have this same problem so I know it isn't fixed yet in any kind of pre-release way (-sigh-)
Here is what I've learned for my situation
The PDFs I created using NUANCE'S PDF CREATE PROFESSIONAL VERSION 8
all fail using the built-in Windows 8/10 PDF reader.
When I look at the PDF properties for these Nuance created files, the underlying engine used to write them is called "ImageToPDF". Using ABBYY it indicates their own engine as does everyone else that I've tried. It is easy for you to check to see
what created your PDF by doing a "Control D" (look at the document properties). Perhaps there's a common engine causing issues.
If I use the exact same source files to create a PDF using any of my other tools I have no issues. I checked the PDF versions made by the tools and they are all set to 1.5.
A customer mentioned being able to convert them in a way they worked by saving them without having to do any kind of extraction, but I have not been able to duplicate that. Perhaps he did a "print" which seems like it could work.
In summary, the workaround everyone is talking about, using an alternate reader, of course works. But not everyone wants to change.
The culprit I have found is my Nuance PDF Creation tools that are using the ImageToPDF engine.
I hope it gets FIXED as I really don't want to have to regenerate all of my PDF files.

Problem with FIle Adapter

Hi
We r facing typical problem with file adapter.
Lets say there are 30 files to be processed by placing an copy in arichive folder by file adapter based on pooling
parameters.
All the 30 files are picked up and we can see the copies in archive folder.
But when we go to RWB and check the audit log,
there we could see only 25 files , the 5 files are missing.
no trace found therre about the 5 files.
This is happening only some times and not to all the files placed in the FTP. Later when the same file is placed back from the Archive folder to the Source folder, the file is being picked and processed succesfully.
unfortunately this is happening on Production server
Any pointers which could trouble shoot this issue.
Regards
shekar chandra

Hi,
Couple of thing which you can try....
1. Use EOIO QoS and check if you still face the issue.
Is some program or application writing files to the directory? If yes I would recommend the use of a temporary name to write the files and then rename them.
Sometimes when an external application connects via FTP and transfers the files...
The file could be picked up by the adapter poll even before the transfer of data is done.
Which is why you will find that the file is archived but there is no xml message created for the same in the Integration engine.
Try increasing the poll interval. This helps sometimes.

Problem with file permissions using Snow Lepord

I'm having problems with file Sharing & Permissions using Snow Lepord.
When I save any new file it only has 'Read & Write' privileges for the user, everyone else is 'read only' or 'no access'.
We have a Netgear NAS Server which is accessed by other users over the local network and if I change the Privilege to 'read & write' via Get Info and then copy the file from my desktop to ther server it changes the Privilege of the server version to 'no access' we then have to change it again for it to work.
I also created a new folder on the server and now it says 'no access' and has a no entry icon!
Any ideas???

We have issues like this. Have tried running AFP and SMB, now connecting using CIFS. All have the same problem. I can work on one or two files fine, then suddenly, one of the files I just worked on says I don't have permissions. I log off the server and log back on, and then I have permissions to the file. It will work fine for one or two operations, then fails. We just updated to OSX Mavericks and a Windows 2012 server, but have been having this issue for years. My permissions look fine. I can even change permissions, but it won't let me work on the file or move or delete the file or rename the file. Once I log out and log back in, I can do anything I want.

Problems with our copy of Adobe Acrobat 7 Professional.

We have two problems with our copy of Adobe Acrobat proffesional which we have recently re installed back on the same PC following so we thought the relevant transfer activation instructions.
The first is that when we first start the program with no file loaded Both Transfer Activation and Activate Acrobat are greyout out. This in tiself is not a problem but it may have a bearing on our real problem.
We have for a few years used Acrobat Proffesional successfully to sign released drawing files which have been 'printed' to a PDF file by a third party printer driver. Recently though when we try to load any of this type of file the Acrobat menu stays greyed out and both Adobe Acrobat and the PDF file are listed in Windows task manager. Acrobat is completely locked up and has to be exited via task manager. If I load PDF files from other sources the abot symptoms accur only briefly then the program menus re activate and the PDF file disappears from task manager. It is as thought our PDF drawing files are failing to complete loading.
Does anyone know how I can find out if our copy of Adobe Acrobat Pro 7.0 is actually activated?
Does anyone know what might have started to prevent out drawing files from loading.
Thanks
Chris

Good point but this one does require activation.
Our real issue is that if we load one of our own drawing filkes, even one previously edited or signed with no problems it now completely locks up Adobe acrobat and we cannot do anything at all in Acrobat.

Unable to download from AppStore, updates,etc.Messages 'the installer is damaged' to 'there might be a problem with file ownership and permissions.' I am the owner and only user of a new MBP. What could be going on?

Is anyone having the same type of problems I'm having with Lion. I have a new MacBook Pro, received 7 weeks ago, preinstalled with Leopard 10.6.7. I didn't migrate anything from my old iMac, wanted a clean install from the Apple Store. While there, I asked for the upgrade to Lion 10.7, however their system was down.
I installed it myself, wirelessly about a week later, and Apple emailed me a receipt. Now, I've had to call support directly last week when I lost Mail, Address Book, was unable to open Preview or iTunes, among other problems. Seemed fixed after a session that baffled even the store tech. Now I am unable to download or install the recent Mac updates for Lion, from the App Store, could not install Adobe Reader, etc. Messages range from 'A network error has occured - Check your Internet connection and try again' to 'The Installer is damaged and cannot open the package. There may be a problem with file ownership or permissions.' All fail and I'll probably have to call Apple again. I am frustrated beyond words. Logs 'Install's runner tool is not properly configured as a setuid tool', domain errors, 'attempt to write a readonly database, and on and on. I have barely done a thing on this computer except search online for help with these problems. Safari gives me a 'You are not connected to the internet' too often. Diagnostics disagrees. I do see wi-fi problems in the forum. Disk and permissions were fine at the beginning of the earlier problems, checked first by support tech. I'm not sure if support tech even knew. I was just happy they were fixed. Anyone have these download and/or install problems after a 'clean bill of health' so to speak, only a week ago?

Let's try the following user tip with that one:

Problem with File Based replication in Weblogic Express 10

Hi,
          We have Web application (exploded war) file deployed on Weblogic Express 10, to a Cluster of three Managed Servers (all three on different physical machines).
          We are using File based session persistance in weblogic.xml
          We have a shared location for all the three servers where we will be sharing the Session data.
          When we start the application, its works fine and is very fast, but after sometime the application slows down.
          Troubleshooting the Issue we found that its a problem with file based replication. By using File based replication every user session is stored in form of directory inside shared directory. So after sometime thousands of directories are created inside the shared directory where the session information is stored. So when we access the application, its waiting for lot of time with Message Session Monitor .... (this is because its browsing through the shared session storage directory for lot of time for session information as it has lot of directories) and finally after a long time like 10 mins we get the Application Home Page.
          When we clean up all the saved sessions inside shared directory, the application works fine, But we will see the same sometime later may be after 3 or 4 hours when the shared session directory has lot of session information stored in it.
          Is there a way to clean up the saved session information on file system as soon as that user session is closed by using file based replication.
          We cannot used Inmemory replication as our Appl doesnt support it.
          Please advice as it is a major show stopper in our Production Mirror env.
          Weblogic Consultant

It is possible to reduce number of live session by configuring very low timeout-secs weblogic.xml. Default is 60 minutes.
          More details are here..

Hello again.
I'm still having problems with this. I made
a simple servlet that reads from and writes
to text file. The reading part work fine on my
computer, but the writing doesn't, not even
an exception is thrown if the file exists that
I'm trying to write to. If I try to create a new
file I'll get an exception about file permissions.
I also asked a friend of mine to try this same
servlet on his windows computer and it works
as it should.
Here's the code

          out.println("docroot: "+docroot);

}And if someone wants to test this servlet I can
give a war package.
Any advices?

Problem with File Content Conversion

Hi All
I am facing a problem with file content conversion.
This is my sample file structure:
Header_Record (Occurance - 1)
Field1 in Header
Field2 in Header
Item(Occ-1 to n)
Field3 in Item
Field4 in Item
<<ItemType>> (Structure in Item) (Occ - 0 to n)
<<Field5>> in ItemType
<<Field6>> in ItemType
<<ItemTypeCategory>> (Structure in ItemType)(Occ - 0 to n)
<<<<Field7>>>> in ItemTypeCategory
<<<<Field8>>>> in ItemTypeCategory
Footer_Record (Occurance-1)
Field9
Field10
There is a key field 'Type' in all the above records with unique value in each record.
Now, I defined Field content conversion as follows:
Recordset Structure: Header_Record,1,Item, * , ItemType, * ,ItemTypeCategory, * ,Footer_Record,1
Recordset Sequence: Ascending
KeyField Name: Type
Following are parameters defiled:
Header_Record.Keyfieldvalue: 00
Header_Record.fieldseperator: ,
Header_Record.fieldnames: Field1,Field2
Header_Record.endseperator: 'nl'
Item.keyfieldvalue: 05
item.fieldseperator: ,
item.fieldfieldnames: field3,field4
item.endseperator: 'nl'
ItemType.keyfieldvalue: 10
itemType.fieldseperator: ,
itemType.fieldfieldnames: field5,field6
itemType.endseperator: 'nl'
ItemTypecategory.keyfieldvalue: 15
itemTypecategory.fieldseperator: ,
itemTypecategory.fieldfieldnames: field7,field8
itemTypecategory.endseperator: 'nl'
Footer.keyfieldvalue: 20
Footer.fieldseperator: ,
Footer.fieldfieldnames: field5,field6
Footer.endseperator: 'nl'
Now, i pass the following file:
00,111
05,222
10,333
15,444
20,555
What i expect out of my FCC is this (Sample output to show the hierarchy of field values):

But, I am getting this output (Hierarchy is missing. All the structures are in the same order without hierarchy):
00,111
05,222
10,333
15,444
20,555
Field values are being identified according to field content conversion, but, the hierarchy of the fields is missing.
Can you please tell me how should i change my FCC config?
Sorry for this long question.
Many Thanks
Chandra

You will always get a flat structure from FCC. If you want hierarchichal strucuture, you have to create a target and map. You will get only like -
Root
--Recordset
Group1
Fields
Grop2
Fields
Group3

Problem with file vault

One of the desktops on my macbook 2007 steel case will not open.
The message i get on screen at login is that there is a problem with file vault.
my dissertation is on that desktop.
all other desktops/user accounts are unaffected and i have admin permissions on them
i recently upgraded to osx 10.9.4
how can i get back in?

If you restored the account to which the FileVault protected Home folder belonged, then you need to log into that account and enable FileVault.
If you just need access to the data in the FV protected Home folder, then locate the sparsebundle disc image file that contains the encrypted folder. Double-click on it as if to mount it. You will then need to enter the FV password associated with the account to gain access (this is NOT the admin nor login password.)
