Transfering files between macs

I am trying to transfer files between my G4 powerbook and new macbook.
For some reason the powerbook will not reboot if I hold the "T" down after I clicked restart.
Any Suggestions?

tried starting it up in TDM, but would not start .
Tried it with cable connected and disconnected. Tried shutting it down completely, but nothing.
Seems to be a bug in it.

I want to use my 1TB Seagate Hard drive for time machine and transferring files from Mac to PC.

For about a year I've been using my 1TB external hard drive for only time machine. To be honest, it wasn't until today that I tried to connect my hard drive to a PC and realize it isn't compatible. I read about partitioning the hard drive so that it can work both for time machine and transferring files between pc and mac. I'm not what you would call tech savvy, so I was wondering if I can get some advice on how to do this.
Thanks in advance.

To do it, you have to partition the hard disk, so you will have one partition for Time Machine and another one to store files and use them in a PC and Mac. To create the partition, follow these steps > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU3.html
In order to read and write in the external disk on the PC, you have to select "MS-DOS (FAT)" as "Format". If you choose any other option, the PC won't be able to read your external disk. Apart from that, note that you can't use files bigger than 4 GB with FAT. If you want to use the external disk with files bigger than 4 GB, you have to format your new partition in exFAT, and you have to do it on a PC

Kernel Panic while transfering data between MAC HD and network drives

Kernel Panic while transfering data between MAC HD and network drives. it's an iMAC 24" 2011. Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I can't seem to find the cause to this.Thank you guys !

There is something incompatible would be my guess. Did you disconnect all your peripherals in safe mode just to check?
You might now create a new temporary user account. Log into the new account. Do the panics still occur?
I would also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on diagnosing kernel panics. Sometimes they can be difficult to track down. Looking at each new panic log would help determine if it's cause is associated with the same extensions.

Is there a way to turn off using ram as intermediary when transfering files between 2 internal hdds? (write cache is off on all drives)

right forum? first time here. none of the options seem perfect. so i guess this applies to 'setup.' i tried to describe what's happening verbosely from the start of a file transfer to completion of writing file to 2nd hard drive.
win 7 64bit home - i2600k 3.4ghz - 8gb of ram - 2hdd 1 ssd
I have this problem when transferring files between 2 internal hard drives. one is unhealthy (slow write speeds but not looking for advice to replace it because it serves its unimportant purpose). so, the unhealthy drive drops into PIO mode - that's acceptable.
however, a little over 1gb of any file transfer is cached in RAM during the file transfer. after the file transfer window closes, indicating the transfer is "complete" (HA!), it still has 1gb to write from RAM which takes about 30minutes. This would
not be a problem if it did not also earmark an additional 5gb of ram (never in use), leaving 1gb or less 'free' for programs. this needlessly causes my pc to be sluggish - moreso than a typical file transfer file between 2 healthy drives. i have windows write
caching turned off on all drives. so this is a different setting i can't figure out nor find after 2 hours of google searches.
info from taskmanager and resource monitor.
idle estimates: total 8175, cached 532, available 7218, free 6771 and the graph in taskman shows about 1gb memory in use.
at the start of a file transfer: 8175, 2661, 6070, 4511free and ~2gb of ram used in graph. No problems, yet.
however, as the transfer goes on, the free ram value drops to less than 1gb (1gb normal +1gb temporary transfer cache +5gb of unused earmarked space = ~7gb), cached value increases, but the amount of used ram remains relatively unchanged (2gb
during transfer and slowly drops to idle values as remaining bits are written to the 2nd hard drive). the free value is even slower to return to idle norms after the transfer completes writing data to 2nd hard drive from RAM. so, it's earmarking an addition
5gb of ram that are completely unused during this process. *****This is my problem*****
Is there any way to turn this function off or limit its maximum size. in addition to sluggishness, it poses risk to data integrity from system errors/power loss, and it's difficult to discern the actual time of transfer completion, which makes it difficult
to know when it's safe to shutdown my pc (any data left in ram is lost, and the file transfer is ruined - as of now i have to use resmon and look through what's writing to disk2 -> sometimes easy to forget about it when the transfer window closed 20-30minutes
ago and the file is still in the process of writing to the 2nd disk).
Any solution would be nice, and a little extra info like whether it can be applied to only 1 hard drive would be excellent.

Thanks for the reply.
(Although i have an undergrad degeee in computers, it's been 15years and my vocab is terrible. so, i will try my best. keep an open mind. it's not my occupation, so i rarely have to communicate ideas regarding PCs)
It operates the same way regardless of the write-cache option being enabled. It's not using the 5gb for read/write buffer - it's merely bloating standby memory during the transfer process at a rate similar to the write speed of destination (for my situation).
at this point i don't expect a solution. i've tried to look through lists of known memory leaks but i dont have the vocabulary to be 100% certain this problem is not documented. as of now it can't affect many people - NAS's with low bandwidth networks, usb
attached storage etc. do bugs get forwarded from these forums? below i can outline the consistent and repeatable nature not only on my pc but on others' pcs as well (2012 forum post i found).
I've been testing and paying a little more attention and i can describe it better:
Just the Facts
Resmon Memory Info: "In Use" stays consistent ~1gb (idle amount and roughly the same when nothing else is running during file transfer)
"Modified" contains file transfer
data (meta data?) which remains consistent at little over 1gb (minor fluctuations due to working as a buffer). After the file transfer window closes "Modified" slowly diminishes as it finishes lazy writing (i believe that's the term). I forget idle
pc amount, but after transfer this is ony 58mb)
"Standby" as the transfer starts it immediately rises to ~2gb. I'm sure this initial jump is normal. However, it will bloat well over 5gb over time with a large enough transfer increasing at a consistent rate during the entire transfer
process. the crux of the matter.
"Free" will drop as far as 35-50megabytes over time.
as the transfer starts, the "Standby" increases by an immediate chunk then at a slow rate throughout entire transfer process(~1mb/s). once writing metadata to RAM no longer occurs, the "Modified" ram slowly (@500kb/s matching resmon disk
activity for that file write) diminishes as it finishes lazy writing, After file is 100% written to destination drive, "Standby" remains a bloated figure long after.
a 1.4gb transfer filled 3677MB of "Standby" by the time writing finished and modified ram cleared. after 20minutes, it's still bloated at 3696MB. after 30-40mins it's down to 2300mb - this is about what it jumps immediately to when transfer starts
- it now remains at this level until i reboot.
I notice the "standby" is available to programs. but they do not operate well. e.g. a 480p trailer on IMDB.com will stop-and-go every 2-3seconds (stream buffers fine/fast) - this would be during the worst case scenario of 35-50mb "Free"
ram. my pc isn't and never was the latest and greatest, but choppy video never happens even with 1 or 2 resource hogs running (video processing/encoding, games, etc).
Conjecture Below
i think it's a problem when one device is significantly slower at writing than the source device - this is the factor that i share with others having this problem. when data is written to modified ram then sent to destination, standby memory is expanded
until it completely or nearly fills all available RAM - If the transfer size is large enough relative to how slow the write speed of destination device is. otherwise it fills it up as much as the file size/write speed issue allows. the term "memory leak"
is used below but may not technically be one, but it's an apt description in layman's terms.
i saw a similar post in these forums (link at end). My problem is repeatable and consistent with others' reports. I wasn't sure if i should revive it with a reply. some of these online message boards (maybe not this one) are extremely picky
and sensitive, lol.the world will end if an old thread revives - even if for a good reason.
i can answer some of the ancillary issues. one person (Friday, September 21, 2012 8:33 PM) mentions not being able to shutdown, i asume he means stuck on the shutdown screen - this is because lazy writing has not completed - his nas write speed is significantly
slower than reading from source - the last bits of data left in ram still needs to be writen to the destination. shutdown will stall for as long as needed until the data finishes writing to destination to prevent data loss.
another person (Monday, September 24, 2012 6:31 PM) mentions the rate of the leak, but the rate is more likely a function of read speed from source relative to write speed of destination. which explains why my standby expands closer to a 1:1 ratio compared
to his 1:100 (he said 10mb per 1000mb)
we all have the same exact results/behaviour, but slightly different rates of bloating/leaking. as the file is written from from the ram to the destination, standby increases during this time - not a problem if read and write speeds are roughly equal (unless
your transfering a terabytes then i bet the problem could rear its head). when writing lags, it gives the opportunity for standby ram to bloat with no maximum except the amount of installed ram. slower the write speed, the worse the problem.
The reply on Wednesday, September 26, 2012 3:04 AM has before and after pictures of exactly what i described in
"Just the Facts". Specifically the resmon image showing the Memory Tab.
The kb2647452 hotfix seems to do some weird things relative to this problem. in the posts that mention they've applied it: after file completes it looks like the "standby" bloat is now "in use" bloat. as per info from Tuesday, October
09, 2012 10:36 PM - bobmtl in an earlier post applies the patch. compare images from earlier posts to his post on this date. seems like a worse problem. Also, his process list indicates it's very unlikely they add up to ~4gb as listed in the color coded bar.
wheres the extra gb's coming from? likely the same culprit of what filled up "standby" memory for me and others. it looks like this patch relative to this problem merely recategorizes the bloat - just changes the title it falls under.

Share files between Mac and Windows in same iMac with boot camp

Hello,
I am new in using Mac and recently I buy a IMac 24" model.
I used to use PC a long time with a lot of old document.
I want to install Windows XP with boot camp.
But I also want to share my documents, music, video files between Mac and Windows in same iMac.
How can I do this?
Thanks in advance,
Eric

Hi Eric and welcome to Discussions and the Apple world.
Mac OSX can read and write from Windows partitions (like the BootCamp Windows partition you are about to create) when using FAT32 as file system for Windows.
However with FAT32 you are limited to a partition size of 32GB.
Mac OSX can also read from Windows partitions that uses the NTFS file system, but it can not write to them unless you use a third-party helper like either Paragons NTFS for Mac http://www.paragon-software.com/home/ntfs-mac/ or NTFS-3G http://www.ntfs-3g.org/
Windows can not even see or use a Mac OSX partition without additional help by MacDrive http://www.mediafour.com/products/macdrive/

Stefan

Transfered files from Mac Pro to iMac OS10.7. Copied bookmarks using "backup and restore" from "Organize bookmarks". File copied correctly as bookmarks 10-10-11.jsom, but would not restore on new iMac.

Firefox 2 versions use the file bookmarks.html to store the bookmarks.

How to exchange big files between mac users through the internet?

How can we send and receive big files between Mac users (apart from Dropbox) ?

If you aren't on the same local network (which I assume you aren't), then the easiest solution is to use Google.
If you simply google "sending large files" you will get hundreds of suggestions/applications.
Ie Dropbox, Google, YouSendIt, FTP, etc

Leopard / Bootcamp / Vista / Copy Files Between Mac OS X and Windows

On the apple page it says I can copy files from mac to windows?
"Copy Files Between Mac OS X and Windows
Copy, open, modify, or delete files in Mac OS X that you saved to your Windows partition. Leopard understands the Windows FAT32 disk format."
I tried installing Vista in bootcamp, but it says I cannot install in FAT32? So i format it to NTFS.
So here's my question, Can i still copy files between mac and pc, if I format into NTFS or am using vista?
Thanks

I am quite a simple soul really and very easily pleased.
All I seek is a partition of some sort that I can save all my created work to - whether in XP Pro or OS X 10.5. But it has to be a large partition - probably a single partition on a large drive.
It would be sweeter still for Spotlight to do what it does (and it does on a FAT partition) and sweeter still for Time Machine to be very user friendly and do what it presently does not do and include created files into the TM.
Now that really would be very pleasant. Very pleasant indeed.

How can i stream(air mirroring) *.mkv files between Mac Pro and AppleTV2 by using quicktimeX?

How can i stream(air mirroring) *.mkv files between Mac Pro and AppleTV2 by using quicktimeX?
Need support!

How can i stream(air mirroring) *.mkv files between Mac Pro and AppleTV2 by using quicktimeX?
As stated you can't. Even if the compressed data is TV compatible, the container is not. If the file is playback compatible with the QT X Player, you can, of course, play the file on your main system and "mirror" its display to the TV. Unfortunately, this normally means only the video is played back via the TV device. On the other hand, if you convert the MKV content to an TV compatible file (or move the compressed data to an TV compatible container if the data is already TV compatible), then you can mirror the QT X player (with audio) to the TV device in the full screen mode, air play/mirror it from iTunes (or any mobile device), or stream it directly from itunes.
Basically, what you can do here depends on the compressed data in the MKV file container and how you define "mirroring."

Sharing linked files between mac and pc

Dear Community and AI Support,
My team is trying to share AI files between Macs and PCs. That works fine until we have Linked assets. Once we have linked assets, AI either forgets to, or is unable to, let us relink more than one of the linked files. We can't edit the links or even delete them. The linked files are just ignored, leaving the file half empty.
We've tried hacking the paths directly in the .AI file, hoping to eventually write a perl script to help us switch back and forth. but no luck. We assume there is a checksum or crc code or hash, etc..., as AI won't even try to open the file after that.
But to clarify the issue. here is an example of the Mac and PC links we need to switch between using an excerpt from the AI file. These are valid, working directories on both platforms.

ooohhhhh very interesting. I did a find and replace on all the strings, but no dice. I didn't think to look at those types of data. But now that you have mentioned it, perhaps I'll do a diff on the same file saved on both platforms to see what has been changed. Should have already thought of it, but your note has made me check my assumptions.

Transferring file between two mac os 10.7.5 computers

what do i need to trsansfer files between two mac os 10.7 computers on the sqame network and I want to do this over the wireless network?

Hope this helps.
If both computers are using OS X Lion or OS X Mountain Lion, use AirDrop to send files wirelessly to those near you.

How do I share files between Macs?

I have a new Mac running Lion. My wife has a MacBook running OS X 10.6.8.
How do I share files between the 2 machines. Her laptop shows up in my Finder and my Mac shows up in her Finder. We try to copy files and it looks like they are copied (using iPhoto export), but there is nothing there. When I try to browse her laptop from my Mac, I am told I don't have permission.
Is this something that can be done? I would like to think so.

Target disk mode is one way: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1661
Another way:
Drop files in the user/Public Folder
Make changes in >Preferences>Sharing

I am looking for a fool-proof way to share files between Mac 10.6 and Win 7

I need to share files BOTH WAYS between Mac OS 10.6 (latest rev - 10.6.3 at the time of this post) and Windows 7 Premium. Both computers are on a private network and both are on the same workgroup.
I followed this tutorial:
http://macs.about.com/od/filesharing/ss/file-sharing-with-snow-leopard-win7.htm
and I got part of the way there. This tutorial shows me how to set up sharing using the "Sharing" pref pane. I set up a few folders for sharing to specific users (me) from the PC. I set permissions properly, and enabled SMB. Everything was by the book (I have shared between XP and older macs in the past, this is not totally new to me).
For some reason, my Win 7 box is only able to see my public folder. I can set that folder (using the sharing panel in OSX) to read and write, so I can move files to and from it in Win7, but none of the other folders I shared on my Mac are available in Win7.
I am accessing my shares in Win7 like this:
\\192.168.123.130\Desktop
that's my Mac's static IP and then the Desktop is one of my shared folders on the Mac.
When I type that, I get an error in Win7 that says that folder is not accessible, and that I may not have permission. I am not prompted for a username/password at any point in the process.
the only way I am able to access the Mac's public folder is because I type "\\192.168.123.130" in Windows 7 and I am presented with a list of shared printers on my Mac and then the public folder. My other Mac shares are not listed there.
What am I doing wrong?
Oh, one more thing. Is there a good tutorial anywhere for sharing Win7 folders to my Mac? All the ones I have found are not working.
God, I really hate Windows sometimes.
Thanks
-----------S

LAN Manager authentication level was already set to "Send LM & NTLM - use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated" according to a web tutorial. I changed it to the option you recommended above.
Still, only the public folder is visible.
By the way - this is a brand new install of Windows 7. Almost nothing has been altered from its stock just-installed state.
It is connected to my Mac via a cat-6 ethernet cable which is plugged into my Mac Pro's second ethernet port. I did this because the PC is a Maya workstation, and I do not want to slow it down by installing all of our corporation's IT-required software that slows our systems down. It is not connected to the open internet in any way - just file sharing to my Mac.
My Mac is 192.168.123.130, the Win7 box is 192.168.123.132. Both have a subnet of 255.255.255.0 and a gateway of 192.168.123.130. I am UNABLE to ping the PC from the Mac. I am ABLE to ping the Mac from the PC.

Back To My Mac: why can't I copy files between Macs?

I use Back To My Mac to connect between a Mac Book Pro and Mac Pro. These two machines have the same home directory name, but different passwords. My home network is on an Apple Airport Extreme.
A recent, persistent bug is causing havoc when I try to copy files between computers. Here is what happens:
1. I connect to the Mac Pro remotely from the MBP, using my Apple ID credentials.
2. Using a finder window on my Mac Book Pro, I try to copy a file TO the Mac Pro desktop that I'm certain doesn't already exist there. A "Preparing to copy" window appears.
3. After a few moments, a window appears: "Finder wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this." Again, I've already entered my Apple ID to connect to the Mac Pro. This window requires my Mac Book Pro sign-in in order to continue.
4. The next message is 'A newer item named “FileName.pdf” already exists in this location. Do you want to replace it with the older one you’re moving?'
Here are the results of my options from this dialog:
>>If I choose 'Keep Both Files':
-- A progress window appears (saying something like "copying 0 of 108 kb", but without any progress bar movement). I click the X button to stop the transfer, the progress window changes to "stopping" status, but remains on the screen for several minutes. My Mac Pro is unresponsive/unreachable via BTMM during this time.
-- After several minutes, the file transfer progress window disappears and my Mac Pro becomes available again via BTMM. There are now several THOUSAND numbered copies of the original. Each is 0 kb in size.
>>If I choose 'Replace':
-- A progress window appears, quickly followed by this message: 'The operation can’t be completed because an item with the name “” already exists.' The message appears exactly as written, without the filename between the quotes.
-- A file with the same name as the one I tried to copy over is now on the Mac Pro desktop, but it is 0 kb in size.
I'm lost -- not sure if this is a permissions issue, a problem w/ BTMM, or something else. Any input, advice, questions, etc. are very welcome.
Thanks

I'm having the exact same issue, did you find a solution. It's annoying!

Problem using scp to copy files between Macs

I've been trying to copy a folder hierarchy containing a slew of icon files between two of my Macs. Using scp has proven to be futile.
The command line I'm using is
scp -r -p -C -E [email protected]:/Icons /Icons
After a number of files are copied I receive the following error message on a file and all thereafter:
./icons/Agrapha-Christmas/Boxes: Too many open files
More specifically the "too many open files" message.
I am using Tiger 10.4.7
What am I doing wrong here?

One more piece of information. I ran scp with the verbose switch and have attached a portion of the feedback showing successfull copies followed by the error which occurs on all subsequent files:
