Single file copy takes 15 mins - help!

I have a folder containing 40 000 images on an external hard drive. I'm trying to divide to a more reasonable size.

However, copy just a single frame (around 100-200kb) from here on in a new empty folder on the same hard drive takes more than 15 minutes. "" Copy 500 takes about 90 minutes. During this operation, Finder uses 100% CPU all the time.

I tried to use a 3rd party folder Division app to speed up the process, but it hung just try to divide the file, using 100% + CPU all the time as well.

I tried to do it for more than a week several times, each time the same result. Even just open the large file to display the images takes about 20 minutes, Finder on 100% of the CPU all the time.

Can I do to solve this problem?

What kind of Mac are automatically using, and what are its characteristics?

How much hard drive space is left on the hard disk internal to the Mac?

What size of GBs is the images folder?

Forget using a third person about OS X is quite able to do on its own, but not if your Mac has other issues.

  • Very slow file copy speeds

    Hello

    Recently, I myself have built a new PC and am currently under Windows 8 Pro about this. I had a problem with copying files between spaces of storage/drives on the PC. Whenever I start a file copy/move operation, the speed starts usually at a respectable speed (ie. 40 - 50 MB/s) and then quickly descends and hovers somewhere between 50 Kbps - 800 KB/s, sometimes up to 0 KB/s for a few minutes. Try to copy a large file (ie. 10 GB) takes a few hours/days where on all my other machines it would normally take a few minutes. I tried to use Teracopy to see if it could work around the problem, but it seems to have the same problem. If I transfer a file from my laptop to the computer over the network (leave the laptop to control transfers) he will sit at a constant 5-8 MB/s well. Even less than ideal but much faster than what he does internally. I have also updated the bios on my M/B to the latest version just to rule out it as a problem does not.
    I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction on this problem and help me figure out what causes the congestion. If it helps the machine is an i5 3570 k, Asrock Extreme 4 M/B, 16 GB of DDR3 ram and a Gigabyte 7950 GPU. I have also several HARD drives more a 830 SSD from Samsung for the system drive.
    If anyone can help me with this problem I would be very happy!
    Thank you!
    Chris

    Sorry guys for not not getting back to this sentence. I managed to solve my problem.

    I thought I would test all HARD drives in the storage space and running a benchmark on them to see if they are any ball game. It turns out that one of them was not. Its read/write speeds were about 1% of what all other players received.
    So I think problem solved... FAKE! My storage pool was divided into several spaces more that contains media files on single spaces more personal files and photos etc on two way mirrors spaces. It turns out that you can't remove just a drive from the pool as you can in WHSv1 if there is single spaces in the pool. I ended up having to save all my data on another PC (fortunately I do anyway!), remove all the spaces of the pool and then he'd let me remove the drive from the pool. After that, I could finally rebuild all the spaces and then copy all the data back on.
    If MS wants this technology to be taken seriously, they NEED to implement a way to replace failed or upgrade to larger without records to delete all the data, or it is next to useless.
    I hope this could help someone...

  • Two other titles related to a single file?

    Hello people, I'll just list the steps what I did because I know I did wrong, I don't know how to fix it.  It's hearing 5.0 for a podcast.

    1. I moved around some files so that I was still working on a multitrack session.  Bad idea, I know, but I didn't.

    2. then when I pulled hearing upward once again, he told me to link the files.  There are 2 missing.  But there was no possibility to choose what linked file for which the track, so I thought that hearing would be smart enough to read the names of the files.  It was not the case.  Now I have two tracks playing on the same file, while all my original edits are still there.

    3. hearing bed now these two tracks that the same file, in order to move the files again does not work.  When I try to engage the media again, it connects the two tracks to a single file.

    4. I'm very, very, a lot don't want to re - edit this whole podcast, because it takes several hours of work.  Anyone know how to link media to a specific track?  Or say hearing not to treat two titles into one file?  Here, I'm desperate, I have exhausted my resources.  I can't be the first person that this has happened.

    Update: I corrected!  Here's what I did, incorporating advice from _durin_.

    1 copy the track that he transformed into a new multitrack session.

    2. is entered in the this session XML file, change to the file I needed.

    3. copy the fixed track in my original multitrack.

    4. dance around my apartment with joy.

    So I hope this helps anyone with my problem in the future.

  • Numbers - how to import external data to a cell in a single file into a new cell in another file?

    Numbers - how to import external data to a cell in a single file into a new cell in another file?

    I want to do the same thing in numbers (3.6.2 (2577) I used to do in Excel (any version):)

    to import a calculation of a cell in a file in a new cell in another file.

    Example: I want to import the result of a sum in a specific cell of my accountant in August to a cell in comparison in my accounting of September.

    It was so easy in Excel. Until the reference computer broke down.

    By the numbers, I tried to copy - paste the contents of the cell formulated, but not good.

    No help manual online or anywhere. I think that maybe the function is absent in number.

    Then I return to MicroSoft Excel, that I have used for many years and I am sorry to say feel much more wysiwyg.

    Formulas in a numbers document cannot reference cells in other documents of numbers.

    "Much more wysiwyg" is another way to express what many of those who "used (MS Excel) for many years" expressed as "more intuitive. These two descriptions usually boil up to ' what I'm used to, ", which is also true in the other sense.

    Whatever the real explanation, the standard advice is "the tool that will do the job." If "the job" requires referencing values in a separate document, the numbers (alone and without the help of AppleScript) are not the best tool for this job.

    Kind regards

  • All the Windows updates compressed into a single file for offline use?

    Hey guys,.

    Often, I have to reinstall from my copy of Windows Vista 32-bit. Whenever I do this I have to go through the process of updating all online again, since before the SP1. Of course, this implies several reboots as he patched the update and takes usually 3 or 4 hours. Is there a way I can pack all of the updates to date in a single file which I can run immediately after a new installation?

    It is available online, or is there a packing method updates on my computer?

    Also I'd rather not do this by creating a "ghost image".

    As for the original question, turns on you can download SP1 and SP2 from the Web site. If I did that, then stored the files on my other HARD drive, I could run them immediately after a new installation. It would take a lot of time in the update process.

    Unfortunately, there are several SP1 and SP2 updated prerequisite that must be installed before either Service Packs can be installed, so I must say no, it would not be a viable solution.

    Very generally, it is not advisable to install a Service Pack for Vista until and unless it comes to the computer through Windows Update.

    Your best bet would be to avoid all situations and/or applications that could lead to having to do a clean install of Windows.

    Speaking of which, you format the HARD drive and do a clean install every time, right? ~ Robear Dyer (PA Bear) ~ MS MVP (that is to say, mail, security, Windows & Update Services) since 2002 ~ WARNING: MS MVPs represent or work for Microsoft

  • How to combine multiple pages scanned in a single file?

    I scanned my CV pages and currently have registered individually, but I would put them all in a single file to use when I need to attach my cv current job applications.

    Hi RaewynG


    1. What is the file format of the backup files?
    2 have you saved the files to JPEG?

    If you saved the files scanned in jpeg format, or in any particular image format, then you can open the files one at a time, and then copy and paste them into Microsoft word to create a single file. You can save the word in format doc or normal text file and use it accordingly.

  • How to keep the news of marker to separate files when final mix in a single file?

    Hi all

    Here's my dilemma, 2 wav files (44/16) recorded in Zoom H2.  I want to merge them as file1 file2 follow in a single continuous file.  So I've created a multitrack session again in CS5.5, then drag and drop the file1 into track 1, File2 in the same way immediately followes file1.

    When I look at the individual imported into CS5.5 file1 and file2 (Waveform tab), all markers are there.  But none of the markers are displayed in the markers Panel in multitrack tab, track 1.

    In addition, in the multitrack tab, where I have two files in track 1, I can choose files... Export... Multitrack mixer... Duration of the session.  Once completed, the two files will be merged as one as I wanted, but without any of the markers in individual files.

    No matter what I tried, the file... Export... Files in the range of markers is grayed out (which would help in my case)?

    So, is there a way to preserve the info from marker to separate files when final mix in a single file?

    * I also imported Track1 file1 and file2 to track 2.  Although I can see markers in individual files (Panel tab/markers of waveform), when I drag and drop into multitrack, the markers panel remains empty.  Any ideas?

    * Under the hearing... Preferences... Markers and metadata... all options are checked, except the lock markers and metadata in the timeline.

    Thanks in advance,

    Robert

    Copy and paste in waveform must maintain the markers.

    Open the two files.

    Select file 2, select all and copy to the Clipboard.

    Select file 1, move the played at the end of the file, paste.

  • How to combine two annexes to function as one in a single file

    I don't know how to combine two calendars in a single file. I want to eliminate the process of selection of the two annexes and pulling them upward at the same time. They need to exist as a single file. I do this using the export and import function? Copy paste perhaps? Your help will be very appreciated.

    Thank you

    You can export a calendar in a SET, then import it back and add, in the second schedule. In order to develop more... you have two appendices A and B. Export to a file SET. Open B, then import the x from A to B. Under Options project to import in the import, import action Wizard, choose Add in the existing project.

  • Satellite A40-151 started very slow and have hours to transfer a single file

    Hello.

    I've had my A40-151 more than two years now, and up to last month, I got no problems at all. However, last month, it began to be very slow and took hours to initialize. I'm worried that I would lose all the data that I didn't back up, and so I bought an external drive to transfer data.

    As I was doing this, my laptop started making grinding noises, and it took up to 12 hours to transfer a single file. I got to the place, I bought it, and they said it had crashed and that it was not something they could do other than get it back - and so I lost all my data.

    When I came back, it was OK for a few hours and then started grinding again! And I think it might be something to do with the CD/DVD drive. I uninstalled the drive, and the squeaking seems to have stopped as long as the "drawer" player is open! Help, please!

    How can I get the drive replaced? My laptop is no longer under warranty. No I lost everything this that data for nothing?

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Hello

    No, the squeaking is probably from the reader of CD/DVD being dry, while optical rides on squeak track passing. But the long loading is certainly a hard drive problem. Looks like a head crash. The head is more or less what locates and reads/writes data from the HARD drive. When this plant it is unable to read/write/or locate the data on the surface taking more and more to save the data, transfer data and load the operating system. Two problems independent of each other. If your ASP cannot repair the cd that squeaks, then they can replace it one that works normally. I hope this has helped you.
