I have been trying to copy 8+ gigs of MP3s from my old windows PC for the last couple of weeks with big problems.
At first I thought it was a wireless access point problem. Anyway, let me give you the scenario.
I have an iMac with APE connected to a 3Com Wireless router. I have my old PC connected via wifi to that (3com router).
I have shared a folder on the PC which contains my MP3s.
I can access the share from my iMac no problem. I simply drag the folder over to a local folder on the Mac. After a while of copying it stalls.
I left it this evening and it got to 840 MB and did not get any further.
Originally I thought it was a wireless incompatibility between Mac and PC, hence the APE purchase, but this has not solved the problem.
Has anything tried to copy large amounts of files from a PC and it stalled before???
I know I can get around this by burning a couple of DVDs, but that is not the point, it should work.
What is at fault here, the PC or the Mac? Is there a work around?
This is the final part of my Mac migration, as soon as I get these MP3s over, I can ditch the PC.
