Trouble copying...

The sequence is as follows:
1: Get Specified Servers
2: Connect to Servers
3: Get Specified Finder Items From that Server
4: Copy Finder Items to Desktop
It all works until the last step, which 'encounters an error'. The log shows the error as 'can't read directory contents: /Volumes/MyName'
That 'MyName' is the enclosing folder of the folder in which I want the copied files.
The odd thing is that the files DO get copied, so it is working. But the error prevents me from adding another step (rename files) to the process.
I have tried changing both the 'from' and 'to' locations, and tried the process using files located on the same drive - same error.
Any ideas?

Hi Jim, even thiugh you list Leopard as your OS, adnd this is the Tiger forums... see if any of this might apply...
In finder, select Go menu>Go to Folder, and go to "/volumes".
Volumes is where an alias to your hard drive ("/" at boot) is placed at startup, and where all the "mount points" for auxiliary drives are created for you to access them. This folder is normally hidden from view.
Drives with an extra 1 on the end have a side-effect of mounting a drive with the same name as the system already think exists. Try trashing the duplicates with a 1, and reboot.

Having Trouble Copy and Pasteing Local Variable in LabVIEW 2010

I am Having Trouble Copy and Pasteing Local Variable in LabVIEW 2010 in s subVI.
I have a VI that has a Local Variable called "Node Addr". I can select it OK, and it appears to Copy OK, But when I go to paste it, nothing appears. It doesn't matter if I use Cntrl-C Cntrl-V or the Copy and Paste from the Edit menu, I get the same results. I tried many times and got the same results. I made sure that I had click a paste location. I can insert the Local Variable if I use the Data Communication panel.
On one of the Paste, I got an error in the error list that said that a Local Variable was not connected to anything. When I clicked on the error, it took me to an insible item in the lower right corner of the block diagram that had nothing but a select box around it. I couldn't select the invisible item, but I could delete it.
Why does the copy and paste of this local variable not work?
Why does the paste cause the insertion of an invisible item?

My VI is fairly complicated. In several places in the VI, I am either reading or writing to this variable which is an numeric Indicator on the Front Panel. Using local variables seems to be the best way to handle this situation rather that using wiring all over the VI. Since the VI is mainly a State Machine and there are only 2 Writes to the local variable, I am not afraid of race conditions in this case. NO!! While you may think that using Locals is your solution to wiring, it is not! The fact that you are writing and reading, most likely from several places, will most definitely contribute to a race condition. Depending on your implemetation, you should ALWAYS use wires. The wires are the variable. If you are using a loop (While, For), then using shift registers are appropriate means for routing values so that they are used by other sections of the code, later. One thing you must respect with LabVIEW is the dataflow. That's where Locals often fail.
I am not copying the Local Variable from one VI to another.
I am not copying the Local Variable from one VI to another.
The Data Communication panel is one of the panels that shows up in the Functions pop up list when editing the Block Diagram. It is the panel that includes the Local Variable function.
I don't know if the invisible item that was inserted in my block diagram was hidden or not. All I know is that the Errors List said that it was a Local Variable and that it was not connected to anything. I couldn't select it to get more information. All I could do was delete it.
You did not address my questions about why the Copy and Paste does not work properly for my Local Variable. Maybe it's a sign from the Software Gods not to use them LOL!..
So if I understand correctly, you are trying to copy & paste the Local Variable from within the same VI. How large is your block diagram? Did you try right-click on the variable and select "Find > Local Variables"? If it's a block diagram larger than 1 single screen (which it shouldn't), then it is possible that the Local is hiding beyond the screen. You should find it as I described earlier.
See my comments in red above.

I am having trouble copying files from disk to disk, help.

I have a Dual 2 GHz PowerPC G5 running Tiger 10.4.3. I am having a problem copying files since I installed Tiger. I am trying to copy from drive "LaCie d2 195 GB", this is a Firewire 800 external drive, to drive "250GB HD", this is an internal drive. The folder that I am having trouble with this morning has 16 PhotoShop files inside of it, it is 768.5 MB. I get this message:
The finder canot comlete the opperation because some data in "Black Valve 3.psd" could not be read or written. (Error code -36)
I tried to open the file in PhotoShop and it would not open, I had to force quit PhotoShop twice to make PhotoShop to close. I opened a copy of the same file with PhotoShop, that was in another folder on drive "250GB HD" and replaced the file on drive "LaCie d2 195 GB". I opened the newly saved file from drive "LaCie d2 195 GB" with PhotoShop with no problem.
To test the time needed I coppied the same folder from "250GB HD" to my startup drive in 48 seconds. Next I copied the folder a second time from "LaCie d2 195 GB" to the "250GB HD", it took 10 minutes and 54 seconds.
My question is do you think the drive is bad or might I reformat "LaCie d2 195 GB" and make it work better?

Error code -36 is an i/o error. That usually means that the computer is having a problem reading or writing the file you're working with, which in turn usually means that the drive has a problem. A sudden slowdown of the magnitude you meantion usually means a severely damaged directory or physical damage to the disk. I'd run a disk fixer such as Disk Utility or Disk Warrior on the slow drive. If it reports problems which can't be fixed, which I suspect it will, I'd back everything up. I just had a LaCie 250GB drive die on me with similar problems (i/o errors, very slow access) and returned it under the warranty.

Trouble copy/pasting from Google Docs

Using Safari 5.1.7 on Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Having lots of trouble trying to paste text into (or copying out of) a Google Doc text window.
Just wondering if it's just me, or a known problem with this version of Safari & Google Docs. Are there any special things I need to do?

Try emptying the Safari cache more often. From your Safari menu bar top of your screen click Safari > Empty Cache
Quit then relaunch Safari to test.
And make sure Java is enabled in Safari > Preferences > Security
If emptying the cache didn't help, try deleting Google cookies
Back to Safari > Preferences > Security
Click Show Cookies
Type google in the search field on the right then click Remove All > Done
Quit then relaunch Safari. Try Google Docs.

Trouble copying disc image

I made a disc image of a DVD I have using Toast Titanium. The file's about 4GB. I can't seem to copy it to my external hard drive for backup. Every time the copying is almost done, I get an unknown error message (it keeps saying "Error 1309").
I think my external drive has a fat32 system. Could this be the problem? How can I get the image copied?
Thanks.

Search these forums for 1309 IIRC, FAT-32 has problems copying items larger than 2 GB.

Trouble copying large files

I decide to finally put my 500GB external USB drive and my Airport Extreme to work and started storing some of the files I keep around on the USB Drive. I wiped the drive using my Macbook and then plugged it into the Extreme. Setup user permissions on the Extreme, so far so good.
I then decided to move some DVD images from my Windows XP machine (which is plugged into the Extreme using ethernet) to the USB drive. Well it starts to copy the files over and then stops with a Network error. I've tried it several times to no avail. I tried backing up the machine across the network to the Extreme and that went fine. So what gives? Is the Extreme not able to handle files bigger then a certain size?

Michael, I occasionally notice anomolous behaviour when files get dragged between volumes. Mostly the copying window shows an accurate and immediate indication of what's going on, but other times it just looks like nothing's happening, the display never changes, yet, it is in fact copying the files over. Now, if you're copying 2gb files from DVD to HD, it's gonna take some time, more than 5 minutes, so I'm wondering how long you've left it before forcing it to quit?

Trouble copying data fies from DVD to hard Drive

I just installed a second hard drive in my G5, and also 4 gigs of memory. Everything is working fine except my superdrive. I tried copying video files from a DVD to my hard drive and ran into problems.
the files would begin cpying and then about half way through it would slow down the transfer rate. It was just shy of nothing at all.
I can watch a DVD with no problem, and can burn cds. I haven't tried a DVD yet.
Any Ideas.
The drive is about a year old

I was recently backing up some large video files to a friend's external 500GB drive (via USB 2, very painful), and was unable to use it formatted as FAT32 due to the fact that file sizes are only limited to something like 2GB or less. Had to partition the drive as Mac OS extended for the video portion (since many of the files were far larger than 2GB), and the rest of the disk as FAT32 so they could at least use some of its capacity with their wintel notebook. Frustrating, but hey that is Windows for you...

Trouble Copying and pasting a movie clip from another flash scene

Hello,
I have been trying to copy a movie clip from the library of one flash and paste it into the library of another. But when I do this, it always gives me, "One or more library items already exist in the document.
I have tried finding and renaming those items, renaming the existing movie clip, and even changing it into a graphic instead. Still it always replaces these certain movie clips in my main flash file.
I even tried the following:
Creating a new movie clip in the new file. Then going into the movie clip of the other file I wish to copy over, and trying to copy its frames and put it into the new movie clip i created in the main file. Even then, it says I'm replacing library items!
Can someone help me?
Thanks

The easiest way to be sure you are renaming everything is to probably to copy the movieclip into a new empty file's library and then rename each symbol in there. Unless I am missing something, when you do that, each isolatable symbol inside that movieclip will appear as a separate symbol in the library, making it easier to be sure you have renamed them all.

Trouble copying a large number of objects using Acrobat X

Acrobat X is many times slower than Acrobat 9 when copying a large number of objects in a PDF. What used to take one second in Acrobat 9, now takes upwards of 45 seconds or longer in Acrobat X and often causes the application to crash. I am using 10.2.1 on OS X 10.6.8. Has anyone else experienced this performace difference or have any solutions? Any thoughts on the subject would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Since you do not want to crop your images to a square 1:1 aspect ratio changing the canvas to be square will not make your images square they will retain their Aspect Ratio and image size will be changer to fit within your 1020 px square. There will be a border or borders on a side or two borders on opposite sides. You do not need a script because Photoshop ships with a Plug-in script to be used in Actions. What is good about Plugins is the support Actions. When you record the action the plug-in during action recording records the setting you use in its dialog into the actions step. When the Action is played the Plug-in use the recorded setting an bypasses displaying its dialog. So the Action can be Batch. The Action you would record would have two Steps. Step 1 menu File>Automate>Fit Image... in the Fit Image dialog enter 1020 in the width and height fields. Step 2 Canvas size enter 1020 pixels in width and height not relative leave the anchor point centered it you want even borders on two sides set color to white in the canvas size dialog. You can batch the action.
The above script will also work. Its squares the document then re-sizes to 1020x1020 the action re-sizes the image to fit with in an area 1020 x 1020 then add any missing canvas. The script like the action only process one image so it would also need to be batched. Record the script into and action and batch the action. As the author wrote. The script re size canvas did not specify an anchor point so the default center anchor point is uses like the action canvas will be added to two sides.

Trouble copying DVD-R using Disk Utility

Hi there. I am trying to copy a DVD-R that I created with my standalone Sony DVD recorder using the Disk Utility program. I am following the instructions I found here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=42724
Unfortunately, every time I attempt this, I get an 'Invalid Argument' error message while it is trying to create the duplicate image. Can anyone tell me how I can get this to work? Thanks in advance-
Adam

I have burned DVDs before, and I am also experiencing this problem in trying to copy a non-copyrighted DVD to my hard drive.
I select the DVD in Disk Utility, click 'New Image,' choose an innocent name with only letters, select "CD/DVD Master" and "No encryption," and then wait. A window with a progress bar opens and says something like, "Reading Apple_ISO" for a few minutes while the blue bar is getting filled. After the progress bar is completed, Disk Utility displays a pop-up window with the message "Invalid argument." No image was created.
Is there any way around this? For example, is there a manual way or some other way of creating a disk image that is a copy of a DVD?
Again, the DVD is non-copyrighted. In fact, the makers explicitly encourage or authorize copying.
Thanks for any help,

I am having trouble copying and pasting.

Once I have sent a copied item it reappears when I am wanting to select a new copied item. I am mailing on hotmail. Also, it does not always paste/ appear at the other end.

Unless you want the whole screen, why not use the Snipping tool? It's great!
Anyway, regarding the clipboard problem try Edit > Purge> Clipboard before you capture what you want.
