• Windows 8: copy of files on external hard drive, transfer file dialog hangs up

  I'm on Windows 8 (version 6.2.9200).  This has never been a problem, but these last days Explorer was hung up while that copy files to an external drive (my iPod, by the way).  It will start the process very well and then grind halt.

  

  On cancellation, it remains like that until I kill explorer.exe via Process Explorer:

  

  I tried the "sfc/scannow" and rebooted, but that made no difference.  I tried multiple USB ports on my laptop (the two USB 2 + 3), I slipped and fell and ctrl + c ctrl + v, but that did not help either one.  What is strange is that I can copy files without problem.  What kind of a problem with a corrupted file that I am trying to copy? (He's hooked on "after the storm-#fulllength.wav" and a few other individual files more than once).  I opened this wav without problem and discovered a ton of markers of time in there, so I deleted all the and saved. He hung up to 99% and would not let me Cancel:

  

  I think it must be a problem of files rather than deliver an Explorer, however ad I is because it has never been a problem before, and I was able to save my music files on my iPod with no problem, and other suspects included.

  Thoughts?  It drives me crazy because a simple copy and paste should not be too much of a hassle!  Thank you

  UPDATE: after cleaning, by the way, (disk cleanup manually purge the caches, defragmentation) and reboot to make chkdsk, it installed more than updated and has no problem.

  As to what caused this that I'm still not sure, and I have no idea which one of meanings seems to remedy. Whatever it is, all good for now. Files backed up successfully!
  

• Format external hard drive

  Hey guys
  I used an old hard drive from the laptop to create a usb key recovery for a netbook without a disk drive.
  How do I now the format of the hard drive for use again as it is no longer present on my pc, if I set to boot from it, it get up she just try to run recovery which was copied on it used.

  shig1,
  If the only thing on the external drive is recovering files to the netbook, then chances are that your PC is not going to see this player.  The two computers to the same operating system or are they different?  If you don't need the files on the external hard drive recovery and see it the netbook, you may need to format it on the netbook so then the PC should see it.  But if you need to copy the files of recovery out there, I don't know what to tell you.  I would recommend to put these files on the hard drive of the netbook and get an external optical drive that you can make a CD or a DVD backup recovery files.  The two computers are linked by chance?  You can connect and use the transfer tool to copy the files from recovery on your PC, so you can burn it to a CD and then you could be formatted externally.

  Hi Peter,

  Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Community.

  From your problem description, I understand that you are unable to transfer files from an external drive on another drive. Please let me know if this isn't the problem that you are experiencing.

  Before troubleshooting, I have little information on the issue.

  2. Did you recent hardware or modifications to the software on the computer before this problem?

  Try the methods and then check after each method:

  Method 1: Transfer files from a drive to the location on the desktop or a temporary folder and then try to transfer them to the destination disk.

  Note: make sure the free space on the disk in the destination drive.

  Method 2: Run the Fixit:

• I need to transfer my docs from old XP to format external drive to new computer Vista.

  This XP formatted external drive is partitioned into several directories. They stored the files wmv, songs, photos, etc.

  When I plug in USB, Vista computer said that it has found the driver DEVICE USB IA37L080ATVC07-2. But this hard drive storage has not shown in the file manager.

  Since my Office XP no longer works, I took the primary hard drive and a plan to set up as external drive to retrieve the documents and files...

  Does anyone know how to make a Vista machine to copy files from external hard drives in XP?

  Open "Disk Management" and see if the USB drive is listed, if so, then simply assign a drive letter to each partition on the USB drive. Then, open Windows Explorer and copy your files on the computer of Vista Basic.

  Which files are those files?

  You can transfer files from one disk to another without what

  There are several ways to do so. Drag-and-drop and copy - paste are
  two of the simplest. If you don't know how to do these, post back to

• Qosmio G20-110 with Vista-> cannot transfer files to SD card

  Hello

  I created Vista on this machine by following the instructions of Francisco Jr. Everything works fine except

  1. I can't transfer files on a SD card. I get the following error:
  «Error 0 x 80070079 semaphore time out...» »

  2. He reformatted not either. If I try to format it, I get the following error:
  "Windows could not format the drive.
  The Toshiba SD Memory Format utility would not work either.

  The same problems occur if I insert a Memory Stick. Does anyone have an idea how to solve this problem? I noticed some people on the forum with a similar problem toshiba Satellite:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=25227&MessageID=95150??

  The strange thing is, I can not read the card no problem, copy her okay and even delete files it contains. But I can't transfer files to it and I can't format it. The card works fine in other laptops with internal SD disks. In addition, it works fine if I plug an external drive in the Qosmio. Under XP it was no problem. I tried to reinstall Vista, reinstall the drivers supplied by Francisco Jr. and ran windows update several times. But I still get the same problem.

  Looks like a problem with Vista not being able to communicate properly with the SD Qosmio player. Would appreciate any help on this.

  See you soon.

  Hello

  As you probably know not all cards are supported and can be used!
  In of the Qosmio G20 unit user manual you should find information what cards argues the Qosmio G20card player!
  Please check this box.

  Regarding your card problem SD;

  Well, I read that you also a message in another thread.
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=25227

  And regarding the declaration, you can read data from SD cards. But it seems that you can not always copy or remove the data from the SD card.

  Well, the SD card should normally pay a locking function. If the card is locked you can only read but you will not be able to remove something from the card or you will not be able to format the card.
  I think you should check this switch!

• Trying to transfer files from an internal hard drive outside under XP

  I tried to transfer files and settings from hard drive to external hard drive.  The transfer seems to take place but the hard drive is always too full.  Please notify.

  Your question is vague, as others have mentioned.

  If you try to transfer a very large file (over 4 GB) and receive a message that there are not enough space on the external hard drive even if the external hard drive seems to have a lot of room, the reason is probably that your external drive is formatted using the FAT32 file system.  If you need help with this problem, please specify your original question.  Be sure to include the exact text of any error message, without paraphrasing.

  Do NOT format your external drive if there is already data on this topic.

• transfer files to a Macbook Pro

  Please bear with me. I'm not fine with a PC. I transferred my files from my Windows Vista PC to my new Macbook Pro lap top about a year using the Windows Wizard. The transfer was successful, however, I have not used my new Macbook Pro. I don't know, a mistake on my part I continued using my Windows PC. Now, a year later, my Windows PC is on its last leg and I want to start using my Macbook Pro 'new '. The question I have is, can I use the Windows wizard again to transfer files, I added to my Windows PC since my last file transfer to my Macbook Pro a year ago?

  A friend told me that I should consider resetting my Macbook Pro back to factory settings and then start the transfer of Windows as a new transfer. Should I do this?  Can I use the Windows Easy Transfer Wizard again to transfer my files and does not duplicate files that have already been transferred?  As you can tell, I am lost and need help. Thank you for your help.

  I use a USB flash drive or a backup hard drive to the "exfat" format, which can be read by Microsoft windows and OS - X.

  I copy all my files on the backup disk.

  This way I will always have a copy of my files on a storage disk that I can use with my Mac or PC.

  That way if I ever need to do a reinstall on my Mac or my PC I always get my files from a backup flash drive.

  Or better yet, just use a USB fixed your PC/Mac to the format exfat as disk storage for all your personal files.

• How to transfer files to iphone without iTunes library?

  My iTunes library is on an external drive, which is not accessible at the moment. I would like to connect the iPhone to my computer and transfer files from Mac to iPhone. Is there a way to access iTunes without creating a new library on my Mac? Or y at - it another way to transfer files on iPhone without using iTunes?

  Not with iTunes if you do not the original library for which the last phone connected.  If these are iTunes store purchases or if you use one of the iCloud (Apple or game music) service you can download directly to the phone. You could also investigate the use of third party services such as DropBox and then use a different media player to play music on your phone outside of the application.

• Motorcycle G 3rd GEN cannot transfer files from internal memory to SD card.

  Hello

  I recently bought this mobile and updated the marshmallow immediately. I formatted the SD card to internal storage and I have no problem to move applications (a little), but I'm unable to move or copy the music or files.

  There seems to be no the mobile option (settings > storage & USB), since the applications themselves (like Google Play or Gallery), or from the camera to set the default value for the storage location.

  I tried for hours to check in different forums, but I'm not able to find anything conclusive.

  All I can do is Exchange of files between my PC and the internal memory, but I can't access the SD card in the PC (I already read that it is impossible, as it is encrypted), but what I didn't expect is unable to do the same between the internal memory and the SD in my phone.

  Anyone has a solution or explanation or why I can't do this?

  Thanks in advance.

  Oh Hi, me again.

  I found a solution and I want to post here, just in case someone has a similar problem.

  Apparently, the first time that I formatted my internal SD card it was didn't appropriately. I don't know why, but it happened.

  From settings > storage & USB > SD card > tap the three vertical dots on the upper left corner and choose "as portable Format. I advise you to remove all apps before do it for return to the internal memory of the mobile. Once empty to proceed, you can choose the same menu last for formatting as internal (again). Follow all the steps in the procedure to move the files to the memory of your mobile phone to the SD card.

  I did and I can transfer files from my computer it, music, videos, photos and everything.

  Great!
