• Transfer of large files on home network freezes and stop the transfer

  I have a HP Desktop running Windows 7 and laptop HP on Vista 64-bit. I have two networked computers on a home network with a 3Com network 10/100 16-port switch.  When I try to transfer files greater than approximately 2.5 gigabytes between two PCs, file transfer will hang and stop after about 2.5 gigabits. Below the size of this file, generally no problem, the transfer ends. The two PCs have file sharing turned on and as mentioned on any file less than 2.5 gigabits transfer / very well.  Is there some sort of transfer of files, size limit on Windows Vista and 7 OS?  Are there settings that I can change to allow to transfer large files? I got an old Sony PC running Windows XP and I could transfer files more than 2.5 gibabits to my storage device shared networked home without any problem.  But under Vista and 7 OS, even once, I can't transfer any file more 2.5 gigabits to my home network shared storage device.  Anyone has any ideas how to solve this problem? Thank you. NEOhio123

  I fixed this problem on my laptop running Windows Vista 64 bit. I remembered that first of all, this started occurring after that I used the IOLO System Mechanic 9 network optimization tool to optimize the settings of my network on my laptop.  So I ran the cancellation on my Windows Vista laptop, and now the laptop with Vista will once more to transfer large files. If a note to all of you who use System Mechanic... do not function of optimization of the network on a Vista PC tool run... .or if you wash and start experiencing problems of transfer of large files... run the cancel this function and rebooting.  You should be able to transfer large files again. I just sent IOLO an email to warn of this problem with the optimization tool of the network within their product of System Mechanic 9.

  UNFORTUNATELY, my new desktop computer running that Windows 7 has still this problem , it stops file transfers after about 2.5 gigabits are sent to my device of storage attached to the network or the laptop. I learned that this seems to be a problem in a way. I can pull large files of my storage device, network or laptop, I can not just to transfer large files to these devices with the Windows 7 desktop. So if anyone has any ideas of how to resolve this problem of transferring large files with Windows 7, I would appreciate your insight.

• Windows Explorer hangs when copying large files on external USB drive

  I'm trying to copy files over 1 GB of my pc to a WD MyBook external drive. After about 10% on the progress indicator, Windows Explorer crashes. When I cancel the work, nothing happens until I unplug the USB. Then I have the pc returns to normal.

  During my research, I discovered that a lot of people have this problem. I have tried many suggestions, but without result. The last thing I tried was a full format the C: drive with a fresh install of Vista. Copy a large file gave me the message 'Calculating time' infinite. After you have installed SP1 reappeared the problem as explained above.

  Some of the things I've tried:
  check the external hard drive: no problem found and the problem occurs on all my MesLivres 3
  safe mode
  Superfetching disabled
  update the motherboard bios

  Now my last request resource helps professionals. If I don't find a solution I'll have to go back to XP, achieve Win7 or one rating for Mac... a lot of things to think about.

  Best regards
  Rafael

  Try to copy in safe mode. If can be a slow usb port. Try anther one.

  Good luck.

• Not possible to export the files to external drives

  Have iBook G4 with OS X 10.5.8

  1.2 Ghz PowerPC G4. 512 MB memory. 74.5 GB hard drive, 64 GB available.

  I am trying to export files & folders on a USB key or an external hard drive.

  I get "cannot copy XXXX element because there is not enough free space." As for the tiny files & large files.

  However, the target drives have plenty of space. They also work OK on another Mac. I tried to reformat a hard drive memory so joyless?

  What keeps exporting files from iBook G4?

  Thank you

  a common question:

  Date and time on the iBook can be set to a default date in the past for example 1970 because the battery is drained and day & time are not synchronized via the time server apple.

• 3 GB MD033 Time Capsule data rate lowers up to 5 MB/s during the transfer of large files

  Hello, guys!

  My MD033 (2011) / 3GB TimeCapsule lowers throughput for the disk transfers built up to 5 MB/s.

  Is this a bug or feature?

  This bug has been present for early 2013. Since then, I changed 2 iMac 27 and 1 iMac, retina. Traded my TC three times by Apple Care coverage. Change a cable connection from TC to iMac twice. Problem remains. A persisted on all platforms of Cougar to El Capitan.

  Video which revealed a problem can be found here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/b3ve9w53ixru5rv/IMG_0700.MOV?dl=0

  It ALWAYS happens. No exclusion. Sooner or later, transfer rate drops to 3-5 MB/s

  NOTHING similar happens when I copy a large file to a PS located in the same network. 50 - 70 MB/s ever.

  I just work on the same problem thread.

  irregular flow oddly with two TCs problem

  It starts fast and then slows down to a crawl.

  I don't solve it on the other thread... so let me ask how much patience you have and the ability to diagnose network problems?

  I don't have a miracle solution... money.

  (Actually a single shot of a 3030 fix it permanently..!)

  If you are willing to continue what I'm happy to try...

  NOTHING similar happens when I copy a large file to a PS located in the same network. 50 - 70 MB/s ever.

  This indicates that the TC is not the question... It's the Mac that has problems. (PS = PlayStation?)

  In the Mac

  You must have OFF wireless.

  It is better to use Configuration ethernet with link-local only for IPv6, except if you need full IPv6... Tell me if this is the case.

  I do the same thing you are. But I can't reproduce your slowdown.

  

  Open the activity monitor and track your use of the CPU. A single process hits 30% usage during playback... Therefore, it is quite high.

  

  Also check the network. Read (green) and Write (red) make the perfect range scans.

  

  I wonder if the TCP window is set incorrectly by default in your computers... I use a Mac Mini i7 with SSD is fast but 2011.

  It is difficult while I can't reproduce the problem.

• $recycle.bin files on external drive

  When McAfee scanning my WD external drive, it takes hours and hours as it analyzes the many files called $recycle.bin. I mean hours and hours.  I cannot find these files on my external hard drive, nor indeed on my computer either.  Is there a way to find and delete the 'old'?  Thank you.

  They are hidden and system files.  Go to start / Control Panel / folder Options / view and check the box to show the hidden files and folders, check the box to show system files and uncheck to hide extension for known file types.  Click OK and close.  Go back to your external drive, and you should now be able to view the files.  I have one on my system at the root of the C: drive as the first entry.  I do not understand why you have so much of.  I'm not sure about the consequences of the removal of the old (do NOT delete all) - I've never seen a case where there were many.  I suggest that you create a system restore point before you do any delete or rename.  I would also first try to rename Recycle1.old or something like that first and then see if everything works (especially your Recycle Bin and deleting files).  If after a few days, everything seems to work fine, so go ahead and delete the renamed files and it should go.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• MD1000 thus slows the transfer of large files

  We have two MD1000 SAS attached to a Dell R710 Server storage arrays.  During a large file transfer (40 + GB) at one of the tables MD1000 it will slow down the way down for analysis.  It seems as if it is slowing down at the same location every time we try to transfer a file.  The another MD1000 connected to the server has no problems with file transfers.  This only happens when we copy to the MD1000.  Copy of the MD1000 works as it should.  Smaller files transfer copy very well.  The Dell Server Manager shows no errors with everything.  PERC card batteries are low or bad.  Any suggestion is appreciated!

  Hello, jsalyer350.

  It seems to me that your PERC could be set in mode 'Writing with' - where data passes the cache and writing "across" the disks. This can be VERY time consuming, because you are waiting for the real moving parts. PERC would be required to be paid in "Writing Back" mode, where you can make using the cache of the and have a single stream of data on the disks.

  PERC can be put into "Write-Through" mode if the battery is not, loses the ability to charge to hold the cache, etc. Maybe the battery charge lost and then has been charged, but the setting has never changed.

  You should find this setting in OMSA, otherwise after back and let me know.

  I hope this helps. Have a great rest of the week.

  Hello

  Windows 7 sometimes has trouble seeing external drives. Found one potential than me and other solution is to download and install the freeware Aomei Partition Assistant application, download it here: http://download.cnet.com/AOMEI-Partition-Assistant-Standard-Edition/3000-18512_4-75118871.html?tag=mncol;1 (only use the Direct download link).

  Once installed, go to the readers in question and one both select and select Properties. It is her, no formatting or partitioning required. Just select the drive is often enough to get Windows 7 to recognize.

  Post your results here and let me know how you fare.

  Kind regards

• + Configuration LR to work out of the Photo files on external drive from the beginning very +.

  Hello!

  I have LR is trying to see how the workflow.

  I'm working on a project, I need to select the final images to use in the project of as a value of a year of photos.

  My main interest is using LR at the moment.

  I have all my files on an external drive.

  + First step is to import and then adding them to a catalog on my internal drive.

  + I select 'building intelligent insights' so I can work in offline mode

  Then from there, the process of selection and Keywords, etc..

  Does this sound right?

  ~ If I have other projects, I would create a separate in my computer for each project catalog?

  ~ would be metadata that I added in LR only incorporated on the files I use LR?

  I want to say is,

  If I was to go in my external drive from the desktop and place an image,

  What is metadata?

  Thank you!

  Sounds good.

  I suggest working with a single catalog only.

  LR does not change the imported originals - non-destructive workflow.

• Why not have transfer of larger files and function to keep Logo?

  I tend to like most of the Adobe products and I actively get others to use Adobe products.  However, this product is not worth the headache - you want us to use it or not?  There is no legitimate reason for Adobe to have so many restrictions on this type of product, especially when none of your competitors has them.  The logo was the main reason I chose AdobeSendNow at the expense of others.  Although I have never happy to not be able to send files greater than 2 GB when competitors allow up to 20 GB.  In addition, why are there so many types of limited files? This type of service should be automatically including all current and known file types used by PC and Mac.  because of all of this, I am obliged to pay and use another service to do my work today.

  I do not understand the logic of NOT respecting this than your competitors providing and noticed which includes end-users as most.  After reviewing the information, create a service that integrates and improves on all of these features, including the new features in Adobe original.  Now, Adobe should have a service that can easily be a product in this category.  It seems that whoever is responsible for this product/service does no sincere effort by creating a leading product.  This product has ceased to be an average product with some 'cool' features, for the worst product in its class.

  I really hope someone at Adobe pays attention to these comments and upgrade Adobe send to a leader of the actual product.

  Support for much larger files and sending brand has been added during the summer.

• Trying to move a large file on external hard drive

  I have a 119gig .bkf file on my desktop and I am trying to move to a new disk 320gig external hard. I get a message that there is not enough space on the disk. If I reformat the external hard drive from FAT to NTFS it work or do I start the backup utility and save it to the external hard drive? On my desk .bkf file took almost 8 hours to create. Don't want to do it again if I don't have to. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks for your time!

  You guessed correctly the problem. FAT32 is a 4 GB file size limitation. You need to format the drive NTFS. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

• Transfer of large files

  I have a few movie files that are more than 4 GB. When I try moving them to my external hard drive a window appears and says that the file is too large to move. The hard drive is formatted in fat32. Is it possible to transfer these files without reformat the external hard drive to NTFS? My OS is Vista Basic, 32-bit. I also have Service Pack 1. The method I use is right-click-drag the file and then say to move.

  I know I said originally in the other thread you need to reformat, but that's not true. You can convert the disk with a DOS command (but you can always save something important on the disk, just in case). Go to start > run and type "cmd" in the dialog box and click OK. This will open the DOS command prompt. Now type "convert X: /fs:ntfs" (replacing it with the correct drive letter for 'X').

• Wireless disconnects the transfer of large files

  Hello

  When large amounts of data transfer (in one or several files - no difference) of my D520 wireless on my desktop via a belkin F5D7632v1000 drops wireless connection and the transfer stops. Happens usually somewhere between 30 and 100 MB. When falls and displays cannot restore, connect by clicking on OK re - find the network again. I had this problem once on an old HP laptop and it was something to do with needing old drivers for the wireless card. The map in this particular laptop is a Dell 1390. Driver 4.100.15.5.

  Now, I had this before, when I had a laptop to work the same and had diversity of main antennas set in advanced settings for the card and I disabled the IBSS 54 g protection mode. However, this doesn't do the trick. Unfortunately, I don't have access to check the other settings in the advanced wireless adapter properties. Does anyone have a failsafe of the advanced settings of the adapter set? See you soon.

  
  

• How to recover lost files from external drive

  We erased all the content on a backup external seagate more desktop drive because we BONE-headedly failed eject the drive, that doesn't not want to clear beforehand.

  What is the best way to recover these files, if there is one. Oh!

  No if you have reused the player and "crushed" of your files. Otherwise, see below:

  General file recovery

  If you stop using the drive it is possible to recover files that have not been overwritten by using the recovery software such as MAC Data Recovery, Data Rescue II, recovering files or TechTool Prodeleted.  Each of the previous ones come on a bootable CD for use without risk to write more data to the disc.  Two free alternatives are disk drill and Cisdem DataRecovery. Recovery software generally provides trial versions which allows you to determine if the software would help before actually paying for it. Beyond that, or if the drive has completely failed, you must send the drive to a recovery service which is very expensive.

  The hard drive remains the most widely used and the data are recorded, the greater the chance that your deleted files will be overwritten.
