Problems with PC to iMac file transfer

I am unable to successfully transfer files from my PC (Windows XP w/SP3) to my iMac OS X Lion (10.7.2) using Migration Assistant.  Both systems are on the same wi-fi network.  I have downloaded the app for this to my PC and disabled auto updates for Windows as advised.  The application quits as soon as the Mac starts searching for it.  Only once, during numerous attempts after restarts, did the Mac passcode display on the PC screen.  The program still quit with the same message that an error had occurred while preparing files for transfer.  I have downloaded updates to the Lion OS (2 hours worth!), but the results are the same.  Suggestions?

  • Problem with Preview and PSD files - random gray square

    Hi guys, hope you can help...
    I've got a problem with Preview and PSD files.
    If I open in Preview both an original jpg straight from my reflex and the photoshop version of the same picture, the psd file presents a gray square (of what it seems unrendered image) in a random area of the photo (sometimes in the center.). The square is quite big...
    If I zoom in or zoom out it disappears...if I scroll to another photo and then back to the psd, the square it's there again...sometimes in a different position.
    I've tried the same psd on my older iMac with leopard...and got no problem at all.
    I suspect it got something to do with my Ati...
    (this is the second iMac 27...the first went back for gray banding on the lcd screen and flickering and yellow tinge........)
    Thanks for your help.
    DAve.

    maybe I'm onto something...
    I've just found out that opening Preview in 32bit mode (instead of default 64bit) works flawlessly with any psd files. If I switch back to 64bit mode, Preview is much faster but the gray square comes back...
    It seems like the i7 is much faster than the Ati....
    Any more realistic ideas?

  • Problem with Append mode in File Receiver

    Hello,
    I am facing some problem with Append Mode in File Receiver.
    In channel config, i have given :
    Construction Mode : Append
    File Type : Text
    Message Protocol : File Content Conversion
    The size of the file which i am trying to send is about 9.5MB.
    I got this error,
    "Recovering from loss of connection to database; message
    loaded into queue by recover job: System Job (Failover Recovery)".
    So, it would seem that there was a loss of connnection to the database    
    while the file was being written.
    Note -  XI successfully recovered from the connection loss and   
    successfully wrote the file, however since the communication channel  
    was set to append, it appended to the partial file that was written   
    before the database connection loss. This is not correct. The file    
    should have been overwritten after the recovery even though the communication
    channel was configured to append.                                     
    Can anyone help me on this regard.
    Thanks,
    Soorya.

    Hi Venkat,
    I would suggest u to split the file in to chunks if u face any problem in processing at a time in append mode and also
    Memory Requirements are must 4 processing huge files:
    Q: Which memory requirements does the File Adapter have? Is there a restriction on the maximum file size it can process?
    A: The maximum file size that can be processed by the File Adapter depends on a number of factors:
    o The most important one is the size of the Java heap, which is shared among all messages processed at a certain point in time. In order to be able to process larger messages without an out of memory error (OOM), it is recommended to increase the size of the available Java heap and/or to reduce the concurrency in the system so that fewer messages are processed in parallel.
    o Another factor negatively influencing the maximum message size in releases up to and including XI 3.0 SP 13 is an enabled charcter set (encoding) conversion if the message type is set to "Text".
    o Using the transport protocol "File Transfer Protocol (FTP)" also uses more memory for processing than the transport protocol "File System (NFS)" (up to and including XI 3.0 SP 13).
    o If the Message Protocol "File Content Conversion" is used in a File Sender channel, consider that not only the size of the input file affects the File Adapter's memory usage, but even more the size of the XML resulting from the conversion, which is usually a few factors larger than the original plain text file.
    To reduce the memory consumption in this scenario, consider configuring the setting "Maximum Recordsets per Message" for the sender channel. This will cause the input file to be split into multiple smaller mesages.
    Plz do refer the following links:
    U may plan the availability of ur communication channel using "Planning Availability Times" feature

  • Problem with Snow Leopard and file sharing

    I mostly work at home where I have an 18 months-old intel iMac 24'' running Leopard and an older iMac G5 20'' (PowerPC) running Tiger. Besides, I have a three months-old MacBook Pro 17" in which I recently upgraded the system to Snow Leopard.
    Before this upgrade I never had a problem with the sharing of files between the three computers (I have them connected via Ethernet and a 5-port D-Link router wich provides flawless internet connection to the three computers). However, after the upgrade it has become impossible to connect the MacBook to the iMac G5 or vice versa via afp. Besides, getting the MacBook to connect to the (Leopard) iMac 24'' is frustratingly slow in either direction.
    A related problem is the fact that after the upgrade the portable is no longer capable of seeing directly my ethernet-connected laser printer (to one of the ports of the D-Link router) although... surprise! it does see it as a shared printer in the iMac G5 and this way it prints alright.
    Any ideas or suggestions to explore the cause of or solve this problem are warmly welcome.

  • I have a problem with running an EXE file on win2000, the Lab View is 5.1 and I do not know if it is 16 bit...

    I have a problem with running an EXE file on win2000, the Lab View is 5.1 and I do not know if it is 16 bit...what should I do?

    Hi Arika,
    The drivers that you need to install to make your executable work depends on what your executable is doing. To get started, you need to have the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine installed on your target machine (the Win2000 machine you are planning to use) in order to run your executable. Next, you need to determine what drivers your executable uses, if any. For example, if you are using GPIB instrument control, you will need to install the NI-488 drivers on your target machine. If you are performing data acquisition, you will need to install NI-DAQ drivers. If you are doing image acquistion, you will need to install NI-IMAQ drivers.
    All these drivers are available for downloading on ni.com. To get the drivers, go to ht
    tp://www.ni.com/support , click on the link that takes you to Drivers and Updates (under Option 3), and click on the links to get to the driver(s) you need. For example, if you need the LabVIEW 5.1.1 Run-Time engine, click on the All Drivers and Updates by Application link on the main page (http://www.ni.com/softlib.nsf/). Then click on the LabVIEW link, Windows 2000, Run Time Engine, and then you will see the link to get to the page to download the LabVIEW 5.1.1 Run-Time Engine.
    I hope this information helps.

    A "quick" fix that worked for me was to uninstall Adobe... then download the base install for Adobe Reader 11.0.
    Then download each of the individual updates and run them sequentially. 
    I've installed back up to the last security update which is version 08 and have been able to do normal Save As operations.
    You will have to disable automatic updates in order to stay at version 08 until Adobe resolves this issue in a later release.

  • Problem with RTPExport output video files

    Hi, I have a problem with RTPExport output video files. One side streams H263/RTP(AVTransmit2.java) and other write this steam to a file by RTPExport.java. When network conditions are ideal, output video file has same fps and same number of frames like original file. Problem occures, when theres packet lost in network, then output file has different fps,and also has less frames like original video(because it didnt write missing frames to file, and thats why it get shorter). Pls how can I achieve output file that will have the same fps like original one? How to write to file an identical copy of what I can see while receiveing video with AVReceive2.java? Its there a way to modifi rtpexport or avreceiver to do this? Thanks a lot!

Problem occures, when theres packet lost in network, then output file has different fps,and also has less frames like original video(because it didnt write missing frames to file, and thats why it get shorter). Okay, first off, the second file is smaller on purpose. RTP intentionally drops packets that are old/out of order in order to make sure real-time video stays as close to real time as it can. This is by design, so there's really nothing that can be done about it.
    How to write to file an identical copy of what I can see while receiveing video with AVReceive2.java? Technically speaking, what you're getting in the RTPExport is exactly what you got on the receiving end. Any frames that are dropped during transmission will not be seen by the receiver, nor saved by the receiver.
    Pls how can I achieve output file that will have the same fps like original one? I'm not 100% sure that you can, but, you can give the following idea a try. I make no guarentees that it'll work, but it should work for you...
    [http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/desktop/media/jmf/2.1.1/solutions/RTPConnector.html]
    That example is an example of a "custom transport layer" for RTP connections. Essentially, it's some code that's handed the RTP packets on the transmission end, and it's expected to deliver those RTP packets on the other end. And it doesn't care about how they get from A to B, only that they do.
    If you were to replace the UDP socket in that example with a TCP socket, you would be guarenteed not to drop packets due to network reasons. Every RTP packet you were handed by the transmitter, you would then hand to the receiver. There is no guarentee that none of the packets would be cast away as "old" by the RTP protocol itself, but there's also no guarentee any of them would be. It's a crap-shoot at best, but it's certainly worth a try.

  • A problem with importing layered PSD file into Flash

    Hi.
    There's a problem with importing layered PSD file into Flash.
    If I import a layered PSD file, some part the color of the lower layer is shown at the edge of objects or shadows. Instead, if I crop each layers first and import them, there's no problem.
    If the higher layer has brush or transparent effects, it becomes worse.
    Any help with this problem?
    Thanks.

    How was the original art created? Was the original RGB or CMYK? What is the resolution of the Photoshop file? Flash only works well with RGB and 72 pixel per inch resolution. If your original art is not set this way, then Flash will attempt to convert it as it imports it. Flash uses the sRGB color space. You'll get the best color translation if your Photoshop file is using this color preference.

    Hi,
    have a look at the pdf that comes with the download package. It describes how to structure your data (depending on the chart type).
    Use the Chart Designer to create your customizing settings (chart type, colors etc) and save them as a customizing XML file.
    Finally have a look at report GRAPHICS_IGS* that shows how to use the XML in your own report and send them to the IGS (by using the class CL_IGS_CHART_ENGINE).

  • Problems with mp4 (h.264) files, colour desaturated.

    Hey guys. I've been having problems with mp4 h.264 files (not quicktime h.264). When playback on windows media player and windows classic media player it looks terrible. the saturation are weird (espesially on colours like yellow and red) and there seems to be this weird blur on the image. For so long I thought there was problem with the export from Premiere Pro, today however when playback on Quicktime player or VLC player it matches the orginal. I exported the file through premiere pro. I don't know what the problem is, maybe it's just the playback on windows media player and window classic media player.
    Playback on quicktime
    Playback on media player
    Can someone tell me what's going on?

    When playback on windows media player and windows classic media player it looks terrible. the saturation are weird (espesially on colours like yellow and red) and there seems to be this weird blur on the image... when playback on Quicktime player or VLC player it matches the orginal...
    On the contrary, with more than high probability playback in QuirkTime shows you wrong colours because of its crooked colour management.
    How do you judge on colour matching between your source file and what you see in media players?
    What is your spec and GPU in particular? Do you use any sort of colour management in its settings?

  • Before I buy has there been any problems with new 27 iMacs?

    Before I spend my hard earned cash does anyone know if there has been any problems with new 27 iMacs?

    Hello richard from Folsom:
    Are you inside or outside?  (  I could not resist, I lived in Sactown).
    Anyway, advice is frequently worth what you pay for it, and mine is free.
    If you want it, buy it.  The posts above are right on the mark (except waiting is probably overly-cautious).  The best advice (from anamusic) is to buy the extended warranty - well worth the money.
