I am having more trouble than I ever thought I should have with OSX and file transferring. I'm moving music and other large data to OSX and back, and it's just not working for more than 100 Mb at a time. Anyone have any clue as to what this means?
Is your external drive FAT32? Get info on the drive and see if it is formatted FAT32, use apple-i under the file menu for get info. If so that could be our problem... Use disk utility to format the drive hfs+.
oh wait you said from your external to your OS X (internal), got me on that one... unless it's a USB external and you are using USB 1.1 instead of USB 2.0, but that would only just make it slow... so don't really know what to tell you then
You could try using disk utility to verify the drives integrity. You could have errors on the drive. In disk utility click on your drive and in the bottom right of the window click verify, then repair.
Well, it is a FAT 32, and I originally transferred music onto from Vista (eeew) if that makes a diff, and it's a brand new drive so I shouldn't see many probs with that....weird.
