Trouble with drag and moving files to another computer through network.

I have a user trying to move a(any) files from his lion laptop to his snow leopard office desktop through the network. He has no problems with moving the file from snow leopard to lion, its the other way around that doesn't work. When he first moves the files, it instantly creates the ghost file on his office desktop, it then prompts Keep both files, stop or replace. Replace will tell you there is already one there and cannot replace. Stop will keep the ghost file that gets created but there's nothing in there. Keep both files will actually keep duplicating until you hit the "X", a few seconds will get you over hundreds of these duplicated files.
Any help would be appreciated.

  • Help with moving files to another computer

    Hello.  I need some help if anyone is willing.  I am partially rebuilding my computer.  I am replacing the hard drive and going from from XP to Windows 7.  I have an eSata drive where all my XDCAM-ex footage is located and that drive is staying the same.  I have a couple Encore projects as well as related Premiere projects (CS4).  How do I do that and get all the files that I need?  Can I just open the project, choose Save As and save the file on the eSata drive?  I noticed that on Premiere pro offers a Save a copy...so that is what I have already done for that.  Or is it much more compicated?
    Thanks for any help,
    Mark

    For Premiere you will need the project file and all media assets transferred.  Preview, conformed audio (.cfa) and peak files (.pek) need not be moved.  Premiere will regenerate them when required.  (Though there certainly is no harm in moving them as well.)
    Encore needs the project file, as well as the entire project folder of the same name.  Plus any assets used in the project (video/audio/menus).

  • Does the last updated backup in Time Machine have all my files for "standard" file copy? (i want to copy and paste files to another computer that doesn't have TM)

    My personal Macbook pro died, but I did have a Time Machine backup. I have a new iMac that I would like to use as a family computer. I would like to transfer some files to the new computer (and set-up a new Time Machine backup), but archive the remainder on a non-TM drive. I was planning to:
    1. File copy my last backup folder from my old TM drive to the new computer
    2. Copy (and then delete) the files I want to archive on another HD drive
    3. Wipe clean my current TM drive
    4. Set-up TM on my new computer
    Is this a good way to proceed?
    Is copying the last backup folder (vs. all backup folders) enough to move my files over?
    Any better approaches appreciated!

    I suggest you visit MicroCenter and go to there Apple section and ask one of there guys if they are still offering the 2 terabyte Backup For the iMac, Mine was only $100.00.
    So the iMac has Time machine plus the USB 2 Terabyte Backup for less than your $130.00

  • Trouble with putting PSE action files on new computer with Windows 8

    My laptop crashed and I had to get a new one. Reinstalled PSE 10 and cannot find where to put my preset action files. Previously, on Windows XP, I put files into a program data file under photo creations. I can't find a program data file or photo creation file. Can anyone help me?

    You can drag your mouse to the left lower corner of the Desktop screen and when Start pops up, right click and choose Control Panel.
    Then pick Appearance and Personalization and in the next screen to the right of where it says Folder Options, click on
    Show Hidden Files and Folders.

  • HT4236 can I drag and drop files on to my ipad?

    Can l drag and drop files to my new ipad or do l have to use iTunes?
    To be honest l find iTunes a bit user unfriendly.
    Thanks for any info

    There are apps that will let you drag and drop files from the computer to the iPad. I have an app called File Manager Folder + that will let you drag and top files and also transfer them via WiFi. It's a pretty useful app actually.
    Check it out here.
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/file-manager-folder-plus/id484856077?mt=8
    You also need to download an app on your computer, which is free, in order for this to work.

  • Copy FCP Project File to Another Computer - Version of FCP

    Hi
    I just started using the Media Manager, and it works great for copying RAW footage, and proejct files to another computer.
    Just wondering;
    In the tests I've conducted, the Project File got copied just fine to a system that contained the same FCP Version (5.1), as the source drive/system.
    If I copy Raw Media and a Project File to another system that has version 6, will I be able to re-copy it back into my version; 5.1?
    Thanx

    Hello and thank you
    "You would then need to export an XML file out of FCP6, to work with it in FCP5"
    Can this 'XML file' behave like an ordinary edited clip in the timeline? Can it be edited? Or will this 'XML file' be an un-editable movie type file when placed back on the timeline in 5.1?
    Know what I mean?

  • Since updating to OS X Yosemite, I am unable to save files into another computer or server. I have to save it on my desktop and then drag it into the server. How do i correct this?

    Since updating to OS X Yosemite, I am unable to save files into another computer or server. I have to save it on my desktop and then drag it into the server. How do i correct this?

    Ok this worked to solve the error.
    Use cmd prompt in windows 7 or 8 and run as admin:
    sc config lanmanworkstation depend= bowser/mrxsmb10/nsi
    sc config mrxsmb20 start= disabled
    No need for all that power shell nonsense as shown elsewhere for windows 8.
    That's it. Also force smb2 disabling on the apple side for good measure.
    With the above I was able to network mavericks and windows 8.1 pro flawlessly. He issues I had before where I could not read video, ISO and audio files (but could open documents and pictures from the windows machine connected to an apple network share folder went away.

  • HT2518 how do i or can i drag and drop files from one external drive to another ???HOW

    how do i drag and drop files from one external drive to another, i cannt get both drives to open up. only one at a time.. i have alot to learn i know but that is where i am at the time...

    You posted here so would assume you are also talking about running Windows.
    Are the drives NTFS and use on Windows?
    Are they Mac HFS formatted?
    You likely will need NTFS for OS X in one case. to mount PC and use under Mac OS Lion
    MacDrive to mount and WRITE to HFS drives under Windows

    To import music into your iTunes library on the computer go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Add items to iTunes and follow the instructions
    Delete the "songs" that do not play in your iTunes library and reimport them.

  • I want to have two folders of Finder so that I can easily drag and drop files from one folder to another

    I have been trying to reorganize my files. When in Manila I created a folder called Manila 2015 in Documents. I have the Mother folder Files 2015 with several subfolders like Finances, Personal, Tax etc. I want to have two finder folders simultaneously so that I can drag and drop files from the Manila 2015 folder to the various subfolders in the mother folder Files 2015. I am not able to open two windows of Finder on the desktop.

    I have since found out that a new finder window can be opened witht the short cut Command+N.
    Thanks anyway.

  • Drag and Drop files to upload snag

    I am developing a Director projector application that uploads
    a users local files to a server via an FTP Xtra. I would like to
    have an icon on the desktop that the user can drag-and-drop files
    onto and the application automatically uploads the files. I have
    created a folder on the desktop and an application that poll it for
    content to initiate the upload but the problem with this is that
    the user, by dragging files to the folder, will unknowingly move
    the files to "upload folder" and they will be removed from their
    original locations. This is obviously not what anyone desires. I
    would like to have the drag-and-drop trigger the upload from the
    file's current location.
    One solution that I have implemented is using the "Drag &
    Drop Xtra", from Meliora Software, and created a MIAW that looks
    like a desktop folder icon. The problem with this is that the icon
    is present only when the application is running and I can not keep
    it pinned down to the desktop. When it is clicked-on it will come
    to the front, like any other application. Is there a way to keep a
    MIAW pinned down?
    Another POSSIBLE approach would be to place a shortcut to the
    application on the desktop and when a file is dropped on it,
    capture the file path and pass that along to the Director
    application on startup. Is this possible? Is there an Xtra to do
    this or does Director have this capability built in?
    Ideally, we would like to have a folder on the desktop that
    only allows copy-and-paste functionality to itself but that would
    be an OS issue and out of the control of Director. Have any of you
    created such an app? Any ideas are welcomed.
    Thanks in advance.

    this approach won't work because every time a file is dropped
    on the icon a new instance of the projector will run.
    To achieve that you need:
    1) A Director version prior to MX 2004, Director MX would be
    fine.
    2) Remove the projector's button from the task bar when it
    starts with our Window Xtra:
    wndRemoveFromTaskbar(true)
    3) Move the projector's window to the background with our
    Window Xtra:
    WndSetDepth(wndGetMain(),"back")
    4) Apply a 1-bit alpha mask to change the projector's shape
    to make it looking like an icon, again, with our Window Xtra:
    wndTransInit(member "1BitMask",false,false)
    5) Leave all the Drag&Drop Xtra code for drop as is.
    That's it, it seems MIAW isn't required.
