Quick and easy 1 time lan file transfer [resolved sorta]

I'm looking for a painless way to transfer files from a dead windows computer (that is now running knoppix) to an arch box that with an external USB. I've looked at various howtos, and I know that there is plenty of reading material, but this is a one time deal, and I don't have time to read a bunch of manuals. I think that the best route would be rsync, but I'm not sure. This would be unnecesary if the USB drive would simply mount in Knoppix, but for whatever reason, it does not. any tips would be appreciated.

Turns out that the USB port that I had plugged the external USB drive into was bad, maybe too dirty or something. I just plugged the drive into another USB port, and it mounts just fine. Therefore I don't need to know how to do lan transfers at this very moment. However, I'll look into it, so that I will be better equipped in the future, if the need arizes.

Changing file location fast and easy? Recieved files to My Music.

I want to copy and paste all my music from "Recieved Files" into "My Music", but I don't want to go through all my iTunes library changing the current locate if that makes sense.
Is there a way to do this quick and easy? I don't want to get rid of my play count or delete it from my library. I simply want all my music together in one folder instead of everywhere. Surely there's an easier way to do it than clicking EVERY song I've changed it's location and having to relocate it my finding it on my computer in the new place?
Any help will do! ;D

I had the same problem after trying to copy all my files to my D Drive. I moved them back to C after realizing I had to click and play every song for ITunes to know it's location. Problem is, it created an ITunes folder inside of the other ITunes folder.
Tried consolidating to get everything to D Drive. It is now there but in a folder called simply My Music. At this point, I don't know what to delete, what not to, and don't want to plug in the Pod to auto sync until I'm sure it won't go to either the partial c drive orig folder (which seemed to catch my last two song downloads), the folder in a folder on c, or my new D folder as it's not named properly. You didn't say anything about creating a properly named folder first on D.
Help !! I HATE having to own a pc for work -- I was a very happy Mac girl for years and years.
Also -- what do I open to make my Pod ask me which way to sync (computer to Pod or the reverse) because frankly, I'm about ready to delete everything on the hard drive and start over syncing from the Pod to the computer again, but I know I need to tell the computer this is what I would want or it will write the computer info onto the Pod.

Lesson for this weekend: Don't trust "quick and easy"

When they say a process will be simple, quick and easy it really means it may or may not explode in your face!Started out on Friday simply wanting to write a new post for my site and update some old articles. Found out the php upload limit was too low for some of the server photos I wanted to add. No problem, just increase the limit right? Well no. Since the site was still in "Safe Mode" I couldn't change any of the advanced functions. The solution? Switch to Free Mode, billed as a simple process of a few clicks. Lets do this then! Clicked the deceptively easy "Switch to Free Mode" button prepared for a few clicks and getting on with my day. Filled out the information, set the flags I wanted, clicked go.....and it failed. That's fine, it went back to safe mode so I can just retry, right? Fails again. Third times the charm? Nope.At this...

Time machine was not working. I bought a new time machine and migrated time machine files to new time capsule; not recognized by yosemite

Time machine was not working after yosemite upgrade on new and old MacBooks in my house. I bought a new time machine and migrated time machine files to new time capsule. I changed the names of the older sparse bundles to the default values. Yosemite still does not recognize them.

I presume the bought a time machine means a time capsule.
How did you migrate the Time Machine files?
From where? A Time Capsule or external drive?
It is difficult to get TM working with Yosemite.. since it doesn't work after the upgrade on the old TM backup.. it will not work on the migrated files either.
You simply start a new backup and store the old backups for a few months until you are ready to dump them.
The instructions for inheriting old backups is B5 and B6 here.
http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
However it is just unlikely to work.. TM in Yosemite is very different. Broken even.
I also strongly recommend people to use Carbon Copy Cloner or some other 3rd party backup until Apple get the bugs fixed. And after several months.. they are still rampant.

IO6 battery discharges quickly and every time I open an application, it crashes and closes

I upgraded to iOS 6 and since then the phone battery discharges quickly and every time I open an application, it crashes and closes. And finally, back to the home screen. I can not send messages, listen to music. And when my friends call me, the link is silent and then back to normal again and then is silent. Can anyone help me? I have an Iphone 4.

Restore your phone as a NEW device, not from backup.

I have what is hopefully a quick and easy question. I kno...

I have what is hopefully a quick and easy question. I know almost nothing about this stuff so go easy on me . All I need to do is find out if my DHCP is enabled. I'm having problems with my Xbox 360 and one of the possible problems is this DHCP thing. However I have no idea how to find the settings for my router on my computer. If it helps I have a Wirless model BEFW11S4. Thanks in advance for any help.

You need to access your router to check if the DHCP is on. To access the router open your browser and type in http://192.168.1.1 into the address field and hit enter. That should open the routers log on screen and by default the user is left blank (some routers it is admin) and the password is abmin. If you changed your routers password as you should for security reasons then use that password. That will bring you to your routers user interface and on the main set up page should be your DHCP.

E1200 and "Quick and Easy Setup"

My parents were trying to setup their E1200 router. We had to do a reset (using the button) since we couldn't access the router admin menu (someone had hacked/changed the password). I'm doing this remotely over the phone.
Now, when they open Internet Explorer, they are getting a"Linksys Quick and Easy Setup" screen no matter what web site they try to get to. They don't have access to the original CD to install Linksys Connect. Mom says that when she clicks on "No CD? Download the software" link, nothing happens. Looks like she's got internet, though, as there's a link to the Linksys forums, and she's seeing updates from the forums."
I don't know what this screen looks like, but isn't there some way to get past this splash screen? The computer is plugged into the router via a cable, so I'm not sure why they can't access the internet manually. Is there a way to just "disable" the "Quick and Very So Not Easy Setup" and skip right to using the internet?
Thanks.

Hi dapupster. I suggest that you let your parents do another reset. Tell them to make sure that they press down the reset button that's underneath the device ( please check the picture). Let them press it down for 30 seconds while the device is powered on. Once done, let them unplug the unit, plug it back in and try to access the setup page manually through 192.168.1.1.
If the challenge remains the same, let them unplug the router from the modem and have them access the 192.168.1.1 page with only the computer that's connected to the router. Hope the suggestions help.

Quick and easy way to learn to use Oracle Spatial?

Could anyone recommend a quick and easy way to learn to use Oracle Spatial?

Depends on your style.
Reminds me of a story a contractor to an IT department I worked in once told me.
He used to work in Silicon Valley in the '70s and told a story of a company that
hired a particular programmer who was brilliant but unstable. They used to set
up a room with a VT100 and a bottle of Tequila. The programmer would arrive
and set to work. As the Tequila emptied it was replaced. At some point over
the following days or weeks a scream would be heard from the room, followed
by a crash as the VT100 went through the window and the programmer disappeared.
They would replace the window, the VT100, the Tequila and wait till he came back
from "walkabout".
"Extreme Programming" '70s tyle!
OH&S would never allow this nowadays! That, plus Prozac means these sorts
of programmers are probably very rare!
Cheers!

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.

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.

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?

Time machine file transfer very slow during OSX 10.7 re-install

I am using a macbook pro, and was running 10.7. (not sure exact version, and cannot look now, but should have been up to date) I tried the free upgrade to Mavericks, but it failed and said I had a disk error. At this point I could not boot back to 10.7 so I booted with apple-R. I tried to do a repair from disk utility but that failed so I erased my hard drive. Then I proceeded with an install of 10.7, which proceeded fine. I got to a point where it asked about transferring files, (forget the exact wording) and I said to use my time machine backup (from right before I tried the upgrade - backup was 80GB) and I started that. It has been 16 hours and it still has not finished. The external hard drive (Lacie) clicks / whirs, and I see signs of very slow progress... (seems to be at about 80% now judging by the progress bar) but it can go hours without any noticeable change. The "time remaining" information is variable -- going up and down -- and is clearly not correct-- has said 1.5 to 2.5 hours for the last 12 hours
Any ideas? should I just wait a few more days   should I abort and restart the file transfer (if so, what is the best way to do this?)
I cannot provide details on the computer since it is still busily restoring (I hope), but it is roughly 3-4 years old, lots of free space on hard drive (>100GB),

Fresh install and save time machine files

Is it possible to do a fresh install of the os (i have a new SSD on the way) and get the OS to somehow recognize the time machine files - ie. not delete them and start anew?
I have 2TB drive of backups for the last 5 months.
I'm thinking the best way would be to just clone the last 2 months sans OS files (or whatever fits) to another drive (via my eSata drive dock).
Any thoughts?

If you're going to install OSX on the SSD, and leave everything on the internal HD, Time Machine will just back up the SSD, and continue to do "incremental" backups of both the SSD and the internal HD.
But if you also move your data to the SSD, TM will back it up completely, since it's a different drive.
If there isn't enough space on your TM drive, it will start deleting old backups trying to make room; if it gets to the last remaining one and still hasn't enough room, it will fail (leaving the last backup).
You can delete all backups of things from the internal HD, if you want, per #12 in [Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/FAQ.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
