After upgrading to OS X Lion to Mac pro, very long are copied large files from a network server. Instead of 4 minutes, 13 minutes is up. How to speed up the process of transferring a file?

This only happens when she copies files between internal hard drives. After copying the files, she verifies that files exist in both locations. She then deletes the files in the old location. Then, newly copied files are missing from the new location.
I've never heard of this happening before, except for with improperly unmounted external drives. I have run disk utility and verified that there are no problems with either drive.
On several separate occasions, one of our users has had trouble with files "disappearing."

Could anyone help explain why this is happening or how to prevent it?
I have a strange problem that I cannot solve. I have a couple of avi DiVX movies that I created for my son to watch but I have done them on Mac and if I copy them to the external HDD directly from Mac, my Popcorn Hour NMT A-110 does not play them until I simply copy the file to a PC hard drive and then back to that HDD. This drive HDD is NTFS and write to the drive via Paragon NTFS driver. I am curious what happens during a file copy from that hard drive to a PC and back that somehow unlocks the file and makes it playable. Any ideas? Is it a paragon driver?

I realized my mistake a couple hours latter. Is there anyway to recover the original documents without the new saved over pasting?
There are no backups to these files.

I had sharing turned off but somehow it turned back on. I think someone hacked into my computer. However, how do I find out who the person is that recently connected and is there anyway to detect whether or not they copied any of my files?

My TM backup files are getting unnecessarily large so I would like to delete them and rescan my computer again. However, I don't want to risk deleting my TM backups and have the computer fail, so I wanted to copy the backups temporarily to a spare disk until the new backup had been completed successfully. So can the TM backups be moved just like any other file?

This happens frequently lately: "Latest backup failed. Files couldn't be copied on backup-disk because it seems to be Read Only. After I "verify" the disk in Disk Utility, it works for a while, then the same problem. What can I do?

When I'm at the University we use a secure wireless network. When I option click on the AirPort icon, I get the following readings:

Because it's a university-wide system, I have no idea what the router information is. When I asked our IT staff about it - a group of part-time college students - they just shrug and tell me everything is working. I can download movie files in an instant. Zip files, even the most basic ones, take about half an hour. This is true even when the movie and the zip file is on the same website. A movie file, six or eight times the size of the zip, downloads much faster. I've read through this forum and others. I followed this suggestion: I deleted my AirPort setting and reinstalled it under "wireless". This did not seem to change anything.
I recently attained a new client for IT support, and they have a xserve running Mac 10.4.11, for which the previous IT company supporting it did not give them the admin password. Also they don't have any restore discs of any kind. What I would like to do is wipe the server and upgrade to the newest version, because currently there are only two people touching the server, so now would be an optimal time to do the upgrade before it increases to more. But my main concern is getting access to the files of other users on the server so that I can copy them to an external hard drive, (i'm from the PC environment so essentially taking ownership of the files). What is the best way for me to do this in the Mac world?
The other thing I wanted to know is this server with the following specs, is even sufficient to support the newest version: [code]

After reformatting I got to the setup screen after the cool intro. I noticed several problems.
When on the screen asking about transferring files from another computer I chose no since I have none to transfer. But after choosing my option and trying to move forward it sat on that screen for a while until it finally moved forward. It didn't do this before.
On the screen where you'd set up your internet connection and it lists available wireless networks it was slow on there too. It took me a while to move forward after choosing a different option. It took a while to recognize that I had hit a different option. Again, it didn't do this before.
Under the internet sharing option it listed an option called bluetooth DUN. This option wasn't there before. If I recall it only used to list ethernate and airport under these options, but bluetooth DUN was the first option listed. I reformatted again because this seemed too strange, but even though ethernate was listed first bluetooth DUN was still is this listing.
On the second reformat I got a message when turning airport off. I was dumb and didn't write the message down, but I believe it said something about airport power. Again, I didn't get this message before. Not when I first set up my Mac and not on the first reformat.
None of this has happened before. It bothers me. What's wrong?

Is there a default setting on either the server or the Mac to allow for this to happen?

Is this a known problem with Finder, is it a glitch, or is it my internet connection.

I'm trying to switch from 10.4 to 10.5 - my god, the Finder has become even weirder here. Whenever I want to delete a file from a file server (that sits on a Linux machine and is mounted with smb) I get the message "The item XXX will be deleted immediately. Are you sure you want to continue?". This happens even with my own files. This as such is not the problem, has been like that all the time.
The annoying problem is that now (with 10.5) the default is "Cancel" while it was before (with 10.4) "Delete". This mean that I have to use the mouse to delete instead of just hitting Enter another time. I hate that! Is there a way (or utility perhaps) to change the default to "Delete"? I would not mind to dig into the System for that, I just don't know how to do it.
how to backup files to web server? I have my server mounted in Finder/Desktop, and I'm wondering if theres an easy way to make it backup a certain folder similar to Time Machine.
View 3 Replies View RelatedSo I just got a new sony external sata bluray player and was playing around with it in vmware with xp sp3. I had spiderman in with anydvd hd and couldnt get it working. I then disconnected the usb drive and another usb hard drive from the vmware window and quit vmware. The usb hard drive then showed up in osx(which is normal), but the blu ray drive with the blu ray movie, spiderman also appeared. I was able to navigate all of the BDMW, Certificate, etc folders and even copied over the main movie of 28gb. There were no AACS copyright errors, etc.
Has this happened to anyone before? I couldn't play the m2ts file in vlc, mplayer. But it should be possible to put it into tsMuxerGUI and then demux and into a mkv. So far its copied 10GB of 28GB, I will try tsMuxerGUI in the morning.
I'm still running 10.5.6 and see attached pics for proof of the file copying and the blu ray drive attached to my macbook via usb.
I have set up the way in which I want Time Machine to back up my data but before deleting a large file of photos and music which has been copied from another machine i want to make sure that Time Machine has copied the data. How do I see that this has been done?
