Windows to MAC, file picks up errors

Has anybody ever had this problem, I made my movie on a
windows pc but now i am trying to put it on a MAC but for some
reason when i put it on the MAC i get these problems:
1. My flash movies do not play
2. the buttons on my MIAW do not work
3. My database code comes back with an error
I ran my movie file on the mac and off a pen drive and got
these errors, but when i use my pc i can run the file off my pen
drive and off my pc with none of these errors does anybody know
why?

The four most obvious reasons which come to mind are:
1) The path delimiter character on Macintosh is ":" where "\"
is used on Windows
2) You do not have Mac versions of the required xtras
installed
3) The line break character on Windows is Carriage Return +
Line Feed. On Macintosh, it is simply Carriage Return (RETURN)
4) Characters whose charToNum() value is greater than 127 are
different on Windows and Mac.

Mac OS (10.6.4) with Windows Server 2008 file shares, kernel errors

We experience problems with the Windows enviroment and around 15 Apple computers running MacOS 10.6.4. All Macs are Mac Pro and bought just before the hexacore series.
Problem 1: At random times the network is really slow, finder can't display the items in a SMB share. The shares are located on a Server 2008.
Problem 2: When a file is openend, there is a lock file on the share. When the document is saved and closed, the lockfile isn't removed directly. This causes problems when people reopen the document too fast and get a read-only document because the file is allready in use.
I tried to copy a 80GB file from a Ubuntu (created with /dev/null) to the Mac. There are no problems copying it from Ubuntu with rsync.
Then I moved the 80GB file to the server share, these errors came up:

This might relate to you as you are using a Windows 2008 Server with Mac clients.
Apparently there seems to be an issue with SMB, since Microsoft rolled out SMB 2.0 with Windows 2008 Server. According to Microsoft, SMB 2.0 is supposed to solve world hunger and bring peace to the middle east, but in reality, it just puts up more road blocks for non-Microsoft platforms. Check out this article I found:
http://www.petri.co.il/how-to-disable-smb-2-on-windows-vista-or-server-2008.htm
Currently we have an issue with all 40 of our Macs not being able to save files properly to the Windows 2008 file server due to what the message claims to be a permission issue, but in reality it seems like something to do with the SMB protocol. We are investigating the issue and will see in a few days if the problem can be resolved by disabling SMB 2.0 on Windows 2008 Server.
Let us know if this problem resolves your problem as well. You never know how many other issues can be caused by a twitchy SMB protocol.

Sync problems after switch from Windows to Mac; cannot read/write error msg

I'm not sure if this is a hardware or software issue.
I recently switched from a PC to a Mac. To move my iTunes files (50GB) I simply dragged and dropped them from my external HD to my new computer. I know that Apple does not recommend this process, but when I needed to move my library between drivers earlier this year, it was the only way I could do it without getting an error message that killed the process.
Moving the files seemed to be a success. Everything appeared in iTunes, I was able to play the music, etc.
I then tried synching my iPod (Classic 160 GB – I think 5th gen, it’s about 3 years old) on the new computer. I got some message that said you can only have one iPod per account and that I would have to wipe the iPod before syncing. I let it do that.
Here's where problems began:
With a few gigs to go in the sync I got a message that says something to the effect that iTunes cannot read or write to the iPod. Even though must of the library had been transferred to the iPod, before disconnecting the iPod iTunes wiped all but a few hundred megs worth of music from it. I've tried restoring the iPod a few times but that has had no effect. The first time I tried to sync the iPod it was formatted for Windows. I have reformatted it for Mac.
Also noteworthy is that the first 3/4ths of my library copies very quickly -- 1GB a minute -- but then it eventually slows down to where 100 MB takes 10 minutes. It copies the files in a different order every time, so it doesn't look like it's getting hung up on the same files every time.
In case I had a corrupted file, I deleted all the files added to the library since my last successful sync.
Suggestions?
Should I just go to the nearest Apple store and beg for mercy?

Hi!
same problem here.I can use around 30G of my iPod Classic 160G.If i try to upload more than that it will take very long time and finally freezes.
Have no idea what to do..

Maxdor OneTouch 4 Plus formatting for windows and Mac files

Is it possible to format/partition a Maxdor OneTouch 4 Plus for accept both Mac and Windows files? If yes, how is it done?

I'll give your suggestion a try - as soon as I can get the program to load. What am I doing wrong? I plugged in the Maxtor per their instructions. My Mac recognizes the icon on my desktop and I can open it. However, the "Mac OneTouch" icon does not open either by double clicking or by choosing "File", "Open". The user's manual opens and i've followed it's instructions as well as gone to the Seagate website and used their installation tutorial. What more should i do before I return the thing?

Portable Hard drive formating for use with windows and mac operating system

Just bought a verbatim sure fire 500g 800 firewire portable hard drive for my new macbook pro. I have not did bootcamp yet because I am deciding on wether to use Vista or the new windows 7 that will be coming out soon. The drive is already formated HFS+, how do I format the drive so I can write both windows and mac files to it. Help!!!

how do I format the drive so I can write both windows and mac files to it.
Either format it to MS-DOS from the DIsk Utility, or install a tool such as MacDrive into Windows and keep the drive in its current format, or install the NTFS-3G driver into Mac OS X and format the drive to NTFS in Windows.

New to Mac - File sharing issue with windows PC?

Good day
I have a win7 pc with all my movies storred on. I shared the folder on the network, and can access the folder from my windows pc and my MacMini.
The problem is that my MacMini does not pic up all the files/folders on the shared folder. I would guess it only picks up about 80% of the files/folders. When I connect to the shared folder from the windows 7 pc it picks up everything.
More info:
Win7 Home (all updates done)
3tb drive (not sure what you call it, but it was formated with NTFS guid table)
Full read Write share enabled to everyone
MacMini Latest hardware and OSX.
Shared folder shows in shared part of finder.
Already did a restart of both PC and Mac
Already did a clean-up on mac.
The mac connects via wi-fi and win pc via ethernet
Please help me on what more I can try

I've seen this a long time ago, seems SMB on the Mac was limited to the number of listings, if you Share an inner folder, does OSX show more files in that folder?
No idea if this works in 10.8, but will mention it...
SMBUp
Did you lose your shared folders with the update of Mac OS X from Snow Leopard to Lion? You can’t see your shared folders from your DVR or Medicaneter boxes hooked up to your TV? The internet tells you to install gigabytes of developer tools and use tons of command-line instructions to regain the ability to see your mac from your other devices in the house after moving to Lion? We might be able to help.

Burning Mac files on Windows pc?

I am trying to backup some important files on my Mac to a DVD. Sadly, my Mac doesn't have a superdrive so I have to put the files on my windows pc. I tried to burn the files to a DVD but there is always an error. Using Nero burning software, it will freeze before all files are copied. Windows Explorer says there is an error copying files when I try to copy them to a writable cd folder. Any suggestions?

Any suggestions?
I am assuming that Nero can burn a similar selection of files from the Windows PC without error?
If you haven't tried that, and you do try and get an error, it's probably a media error (a problem with the disks you are using).
Check the filenames of the files you are trying to burn only include letters and numbers and contain NO punctuation, truncate really long file names.

Accessing Mac File Share from Windows Server 2003

I currently have a windows domain that has a few Mac OS x leopard servers on it. I can map a drive to the Mac share using windows XP and Windows Vista, but I cannot map the drive in Windows Server 2003. I have enabled the Windows Sharing on the Mac server, and enabled the Mac File Sharing on the Windows server, but the windows server does not find the Mac server. I can ping the Mac server by FQDN and IP, but when I go to map a drive to it I get the error:
The mapped network drive could not be created because the following error has occurred: An unexpected network error occurred.
I have also checked the Local Security Policies, and did not find anything that would cause the issue. Any ideas anyone?

Need help very badly since the hard drive I use is the only back up I have for my very old pics. Thank you...

Backup with cloning software your HD to have an exact copy of it as it is.
Use this methodology to recover your partition.

Windows 8.1 Network Share 0x8007003b Error Copying Files

Hi All,
I'm having an issue when copying files from a Windows network share. If the file is above 5MB it will start copying and then after a minute or two I will get an error such as:
Interrupted Action
An unexpected error is keeping you from copying the file. If you continue to receive this error, you can use the error code to search for help with this problem.
Error 0x8007003B: An unexpected network error occurred.
The network share is in a different office and is accessible over a point-to-point VPN, so the connection is not that fast.
But before everyone tells me to start diagnosing the router and or VPN please take note of the following:
My colleague who is running Windows 7 can copy files from the network share fine
If I run a Windows 7 VM on my Windows 8.1 laptop I can copy the files across fine
I also know it isn't an issue with this particular file share. I set up a little lab, where I had one VM which had a shared folder and 2 other client VMs one running Windows 7 and one running Windows 8.1. I limited the bandwidth to the two client
VMs to a similar speed we see across our VPN. The result was that the Windows 8.1 failed with the same error above, whereas the Windows 7 copied fine.
There is also a noticeable difference visually when copying using Windows 8.1 and Windows 7:
Windows 7 - The progress bar progresses smoothly giving the current speed and estimated time remaining
Windows 8.1 - The progress bar progresses in a jumpy fashion. E.g. it shows no progress, then after a minute it jumps and shows 16% progress, then shows no further progress, then jumps by another 18%. There is no estimated time remaining.
I ran Wireshark to investigate what was going on at the network layer. I see the following behaviour:
Windows 8.1 - The file is copying fine then all of a sudden there are a lot of TCP dupack packets. After which the Windows 8.1 client sends a RST packet and then the error pops up.
Windows 7 - The file is copying fine then you also see a load of TCP dupack packets, however no error is displayed and it continues copying fine.
I'd appreciate any help with this I'm hoping there are some settings I can change to make Windows 8.1 behave more like Windows 7!
FYI originally posed here (but was advised to ask on Technet) - https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1-files/windows-81-network-share-0x8007003b-error-copying/300bc9a4-597b-402a-b885-9dd6f6fb51a2
Thanks,
Zak

Hi MeipoXu,
Sorry, it has taken me so long to reply. I thought I had subscribed to receive updates on this thread, but I didn't see anything!
I've ran the commands you gave but some of them did not work, I got the following error:
Set global command failed on IPv4 The parameter is incorrect.
However, output of current settings are below.
TCP Global Parameters
Receive-Side Scaling State : disabled
Chimney Offload State : disabled
NetDMA State : disabled
Direct Cache Access (DCA) : disabled
Receive Window Auto-Tuning Level : normal
Add-On Congestion Control Provider : none

Max SYN Retransmissions : 2
To answer your original questions.
Do you mean the file below 5 MB will copy fine ?
5MB is not a hard limit. If the file is small enough it will copy before it errors out. A file of around 5MB or so fails with an error.
Have you tried to copy the files from another Windows 8.1 machine (This will help us to verify whether the issue is casued by the specific machine)?Have you tried to copy another file from the network share to have a check ?
Yes I've tried from another Windows 8.1 machine and have the same behaviour. It is the same with different files from the network share. And the same with different network shares.
I am seeing nothing in the event viewer when the error occurs. I do not believe this to be a VPN issue because I can recreate this situation perfectly. As I mentioned in the original post- I
also know it isn't an issue with this particular file share. I set up a little lab, where I had one VM which had a shared folder and 2 other client VMs one running Windows 7 and one running Windows 8.1. I limited the bandwidth to the two client VMs to a similar
speed we see across our VPN. The result was that the Windows 8.1 failed with the same error above, whereas the Windows 7 copied fine.
Basically, I had virtual machines all on the same local network. One virtual machine was hosting a file share with files on it. I created one Windows 7 VM and one Windows 8.1 VM. Using VMWare Workstation you can limit the network bandwidth to the VMs. When
I did not limit the network bandwidth I could copy all files of all sizes fine. However, when I limit the network bandwidth to a speed of around 30-50KBps, the Windows 8.1 VM fails to copy files with the same error. But Windows 7 VM copies the files fine.
The point of limiting the bandwidth in this way is to create a similar scenario to that I see when connecting over the VPN.
This all leads me to believe there is some sort of issue with copying files from fileshares over slow connections using Windows 8.1.
Cheers,
Zak
