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.
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?

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?

My iMac is currently using 192GB of the 1TB drive. I currently have a 250GB drive I'm using as a backup. My Time machine backups are starting to fail as it's telling me I only have about 60GB free, but it needs 85GB to do the backup. Any idea why it needs all the extra space?
Also, I know TM keeps several copies of the files based on the date - is there a way to purge older files (e.g. delete anything > 1 month old)?
I'm going to eventually get a larger drive for backups, but thought I had plenty of time since I'm only at 75% capacity on the backup drive
I am having a problem with my external hard drive. I was using it the other day working with some of the files on it and it shut down my computer a couple times. The second time it did this, after the computer shut down, I would turn it on and then it would go right back off until I removed the hard drive and turned it on and it was fine. Now my computer won't recognize the hard drive at all when i plug it in. The light on the hard drive will come on but it will not show up on my computer.
The hard drive is a WD 1TB Passport and it still works fine with every other computer I plug it into, PCs and macs both.I have a late 2008 13" Aluminum Macbook
17 inch Imac
1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo Processor
6 seconds for shut down!
27 seconds for start up!
Is this normal? I had no applications running!
My iMac turns on but just beeps three times stops beeps more times and won't start up

So 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?

We have an iMac with iLife 08 and just purchased a MacBook with iLife 09. We transferred the iPhoto library over to the MacBook and now can't access it on the iMac. It quits after launch. Tried to load iPhoto 09 onto the iMac after burning it to disc from the MacBook but it won't load. Tried to do the same using FireWire and it still won't work and now the MacBook is not showing any iPhoto library at all.

Whenever I try to copy ANY file, even a 5kb text, from my mac desktop to one of two laptops. (BOTH, do the same thing). So then I try to put the files on a usb drive and do it that way. Same problem copying from the usb drive to either powerbook. So I try and mount the dmg from the usb drive, works, install folder opens. I run the installer, then it hangs on "examining drives" and all the drives are greyed out. Target disk mode lets me copy it over directly though.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm using a MacBook running 10.6.2 with iTunes 9.2 and an iPhone 3G. I just did an erase and install of the OS on the MacBook and am working on restoring things from my Time Capsule backup. In order to get my iTunes back the way it was so I don't have to start all over, what do I need to copy over?
So far, I've copied the following:
~/Music
~/Library/iTunes
~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync
Are there any other directories / files that need to be copied over? I'm trying to avoid having to set up my phone, playlists, genius info, etc all from scratch. Do I also need to copy the iTunes application itself from the backup or should I be able to use the fresh one installed from Software Update? They are both iTunes 9.2.
I copied itunes songs from windows computer on usb, loaded them into apple mac 10.7, they played ok, until i synced the iphone, when clicking on a song, it now says cant locate, you click locate and I can see the songs in the media, but cant copy them over.
How can I get the songs into the itunes library. I looked at preferences and it is ticked to copy songs to itunes,
I recently replaced my stock HDD (500GB) with a 750GB. I went into the recovery partition, and did a disk copy. I figured cloning the disk would be the best way to do things. When it was done, I rebooted, and booted from the new drive (which was in an external enclosure). It was a little slow, but I didn't think anything of it. I opened up the case for my MBP and switched the drives. When I booted up after switching them, the boot-up process was very slow, and when OSX finally booted, everything was very slow (lagging) and unresponsive. I kept getting the "Grey Screen of Death" telling me to force shut-down my laptop. I have switched the drives back, and everything is working fine now, but I'm curious as to what may be causing the new drive not to work properly. Has this happened to others? Have I missed a step or 10?Should I maybe have used Carbon Copy Cloner instead of Mac's built-in disk copy?Â

My Snow Leopard boot disk had 12 years of accumulated crud, and was running slowly.So I did a nice clean install of Lion on a fresh partition.Redid some configuring, like sudoers, Flash, Time machine interval to 4 hours, locate.updatedb, etc. Wanted my old "Location" info (about a dozin networks).Gave Migration assistant a try. Unchecked EVERYTHING except Network Settings: Perfect.Only 24 KB. Probably just a couple of .plist files.What could go wrong? I'm running from a non-admin account. It copied all the Users. It copied all the Applications.It copied all the root level cruft. My pristine boot drive is burried deeper in crap that the American Constitution.My backup is a day old, and I worked all day. Another half a day to undo this mess. Next time I will find the config file and copy it myself.But why did it do this?

I was copying some data to my server and there was a network failure. The half copied folder is now grey in the finder and i cannot open it or see the contents.It has files inside, i can browse them at the command line, i can even move the folder between volumes but i cant un-grey it and i cant drill down into it.I cannot find an answer to this on google so if someone can tell me how to fix it please that would be great.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI accidentally deleted the applications folder under my user directory. I made a duplicate from the hard drive directory and put it under user, but when I add new applications to one, it does not show up in the other like it used to. I guess I had a wrong idea of what duplicate does.
