Repeated copies when copying to another mac in finder

When I try to copy (push) files to my other mac (older PowerMac G4 with 10.5.8) over ethernet connection I get multiple (like thousands, seem to stick in a loop) copies of the same file.

To copy Apple Mail Rules from one computer to another, both running Lion, copy the files below:
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/SyncedRules.plist
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/UnsyncedRules.plist
The SyncedRues are synced with iCloud.
The files need to be coppied to exactly the same location on each machine.
IMPORTANT: Apple Mail rules cannot be shared between Lion & Mountain Lion (or other OS versions).
Make sure you quit Mail and save existing files elsewhere (outside Library) before copying files.
I hope it helps.

  • Custom Camera Raw settings not being recognised after copying to another mac

    Images captured on MacBook Pro and custom settings applied in Camera Raw, images then transferred to Mac Pro via USB are opened on Mac Pro using Adobe Bridge CS6, Camera Raw doesn't recognise the custom setting and opens using the setting used last time in Camera Raw.
    How do you retain the custom settings when transferring images and opening on another mac, the files are CR2 and the xmp files are also copied as well.

    ...and you did copy the xmp files as well as the RAW files to the second computer?

  • Advanced Slideshow -- Can it be copied to another Mac?

    I've created an iPhoto 5 advanced slideshow with custom timing, etc. Is there a way to move this slideshow to another Mac?

    There is a way but it would involve duplicating your current library folder and giving it a name like Slideshow Library. The launch iPhoto with the Option key depressed and, when asked, locate Slideshow Library and open it. Now delete all the photo but those in the slideshow. Then close iPhoto.
    Now copy the Slideshow Library folder to the other Mac. Using iPhoto Buddy on the other Mac the user can easily move between the original library on that Mac and the Slideshow Library.
    However you will have to reapply the audio because it will not carry over the audio tracks. If they don't have the same tracks you may have to select others. Not the best solution overall. That's about the only way you can do it.

  • Chinese song titles don't appear when copied from iTunes Mac to XP

    Hi all,
    I've tried googling the answer to this but can't seem to find the answer so wondered if anyone can help me. Please?
    I use a G4 MacMini at home running 10.4.11 and iTunes 9x and keep all my music on an external hard drive. I want to play my music using ITunes 10x on my PC at work running XP SP3. I need to reformat my iPod on the PC anyway cos at the moment it won't as it was originally formatted on my Mac.
    I've copied my iTunes Library and my music files to an external hard drive and am using MacDrive so that I can copy them on to my PC, however I've noticed that the titles of the 20 or so Chinese albums I have don't appear. They appear as underscores not squares. The artists names appear ok but not the song titles.
    I've installed the East Asian language pack in the Control Panel on the PC. On the Advanced tab, the Language for non-Unicode programs is set to English (UK) and the Code page conversion tables is set to 10002 (Mac - Traditional chinese Big5).
    Is there anything else I should have done?
    The Chinese song titles would have been imported automatically when I ripped them off CDs on the Mac.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks

  • Can a User's System Preferences be copied to another Mac?

    I manage a school computer lab with about 40 Macs (iMac G3s and eMacs). All are running 10.3.9. I configured one computer how I wanted it, made an image, then restored all the others basically making clones. I created a "Student" user. In time I realized I needed to tweak some of the privileges for the student user, but I want to avoid having to go in as an admin to each computer and resetting the security settings for students. Thinking these settings must be saved somewhere, why couldn't I just copy the settings to the other computers? I tried copying the com.apple.systempreferences.plist from my admin Library/Preferences folder since this appeared when I did a Date Modified search, but that didn't do it? Any thoughts on this? Thanks.

    Thanks for the tip. I'm out on medical leave for a few days, so I haven't had a chance to try it. But, please clarify: When you say the preferences, am I to understand you mean all the preferences in both the root library and the user library? Also, the users are all the same (Student), so there shouldn't be any account differences, but thanks for the reminder.

  • Printer Settings dialog missing when printing to another Mac with Bonjour

    I want Photoshop to manage my color settings rather than my Epson 4800 or Epson SPRX 580 printers, so in the print dialog box I select the "Printer Color Management" tab and set color adjustments to the OFF position. This works fine as long as the printer is connected directly to my MacBook or my MacBook Pro. But if I try to send a job on my MacBook Pro via bonjour to either of the printers when it is connected to my MacBook, the print dialog is missing the choices of "Printer Color Management", "Printer Settings", etc.
    All that is available are things like "Layout, Cover Page, Scheduler, Summary." The "Printer Settings, Color Management" options only show up on either computer when connected directly to the printer.
    Is there a way to get those other choices (Printer Settings, Color Management) when printing over a bonjour network?
    I'm on Mac OS 10.5.6 on the MacBook Pro and Mac OS 10.4.10 on the MacBook. I have downloaded all the driver updates from Epson and deleted and added the printers again with the same result.

    HP must have release a driver update because we no longer encounter the problem.

  • VPN setting when migrating to another Mac

    I have at least 20 separate VPN connection on my Mac, migration assistant doesn't move them to a new machine, I can't remember for the life of me how I've moved them in the past. Anyone know?

    It will NOT disrupt the 10.5.8 Mac. It is merely a copy function being performed.
    It's main function is to provide a way of having your existing data work in the new environment.

  • USB install from another mac?

    Hi, quick one if I may, I am looking to reinstall snow leopard on a new hard drive so my question is can I copy the necessary files from a friends Mac mini onto USB and boot from there? Obviously I'm not going to do this if it's illegal or whatever, thanks in advance

    If you own a retail DVD installer for Snow Leopard 10.6, but do not have an optical drive in your computer, or the internal one has failed, it is possible to use another computer's optical drive to install OS X into a Mac.
    {A copy from another Mac would not be correct or legal, also it likely won't work directly as the Installer puts correct parts into the machine it was installed into, such as hardware drivers, etc. And the disc is a license for one Mac to run it at a time.}
    Under this circumstance, there are a few methods of using another Mac to perform this task; one is Target Disk Mode, if both Macs have FireWire &/or Thunderbolt ports and correct cables. Another is to use a utility in the Mac by the name of 'remote install Mac OS X' in the Utilities folder. There may be other similar means, depending on the version of computer and OS X your system(s) are running.
    If only parts of the system are damaged or missing, you could use Pacifist utility from charlessoft company to extract the parts you need from a system disc, and it will install them from the desktop of the computer that needs them. The utility is a download and has a demo mode that should work adequately for this task.
    You should own the retail DVD 10.6 Snow Leopard, if you have a computer that runs it. The disc (as needed) is proof of the License to use the software. With later computers, the Apple ID and the mac/app store has a record of your activity in regard to permissions of use and end user license.
    Sorry to not be of much help.
    I have antiques & most DVD media for each system.
    And a few clones on external hard disk drives.
    PS: Not sure about the copy to USB recovery idea; later Lion 10.7 and Mt Lion
    had this, I'd seen info about it online. A cloned system, if your computer had one
    could be used to extract or copy parts from. Some don't like drag/drop install.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • What does "extracted channel PDF" mean and why does it continually duplicate on my desktop?  I think it happens when I move a file in Finder to another file and when I copy some web files.  How do I avoid this on my Mac (Mavericks)?  Thanks for your help!

    What does "extracted channel PDF" mean and why does it continually duplicate on my desktop?  I think it happens when I move a file in Finder to another file and when I copy some web files.  I have to immediately move to trash all the duplications on my desktop.  How do I avoid this on my Mac (Mavericks)?  Thanks for your help!

    What application is set to open PDF files? If you CNTRL click on the file and open with Preview does the problem occur?
    If not change the default application to open PDF files to Preview.
    You can do this by highlighting the file and either use CMD i or Get Info , this will open a window with the info on the file with an option to change the application that opens the file.
    That's all I can think of.

  • Image 10.7.3. Problems with settings when new image is used on another mac

    10.7.3 image.I create an image of 10.7.3 using disk utility with the "Require an admin password to access system preferences" checked under Security and Privacy, once i move the image to another mac it reverts and unchecks the setting "Require an admin password to access system preferences. There is no problems creating the image or loading the image on new mac. There is something that is reverting the setting from original image on new mac. I am not using a 3rd party software to create an image. As what i understand the image should exactly the same. Not sure what is causing these problems since it only happens when using 10.7.3 and did not happend on 10.7.2. Any feedback will be appreciated. thanks

  • Backup itouch on another mac and not lose whats on itouch when sync

    backup itouch on another mac and not lose whats on itouch when sync

    Make sure your new Mac is authorized in iTunes. Disable autosync in itunes, connect your ipod, right click on it in the device list and choose backup.
    This will save data, pictures and settings to itunes. See what's included in this backup here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    Transfer your purchases the same way to copy all apps and bought media from the Store to your computer.
    Set up at least one contact and event on your new Mac, to be able the merge your calendars and contacts after your ipod got wiped during the first sync.
    The rest of the data can be restored from the backup you made.
    Restoring: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

  • When copying raw files from Extreme IV card to hardrive, finder copies a few files then exits task and wipes the card clean of all images.

    When copying raw files from Extreme IV card to hardrive, finder copies a few files then exits task and wipes the card clean of all images.  Have tried new card and card-reader to no avail.  Have done this many times on other macs with no problems.
    Can edit files off the card, in CameraRaw, prior to 'copying' them, ie can 'save as' to the hard drive, so files seem okay on card, before I try to copy them using copy and paste.
    Running OS 10.8.3 on a new macbook pro.

    Rita,
    The process for determining what is causing the files to be corrupt can be a tedious one depending on the following:
    1. Can you review the images on your camera's LCD screen without problems? If not then the problem is most probably either a corrupted/faulty memory card or a faulty camera. If this is the case then your best bet at recovery (of sorts) is to use a program such as BrezzeBrowser from BreezeSys to extract the embedded jpeg versions of the corrupted RAW files from within each RAW file. Chances are, you won't manage to actually repair the corrupted RAW file but the jpegs are better than nothing.
    2. If the images review ok on your camera but are corrupted when viewing on your computer and there seems to be no other problem with other files on your computer then it may be either a faulty card reader or usb/firewire cable between the card reader and the computer that is the culprit. Try the card reader with a different cable and also try a different card reader to determine the cause of the corruption.
    3. If your symptoms are that you get different files corrupting over time when viewing them on your computer then the problem may be any one of either failing RAM memory, hard disk, hard disk controller or IDE/SATA hard disk cables. This is where the troubleshooting can be pretty tedious testing then eliminating each item from the list of suspicious pieces of hardware. Try the card and card reader on an altogether different computer to see if the files transfer correctly to that computer. If so then the problem lies with your computer hardware. If you haven't already done so at this stage, backup all your important data immediately (hopefully you keep backs anyway).
    Hope this helps.
