Im a new Mac user and juz received my MBP a couple of days ago. While transferring some files from my old PC to Mac. My Mac would refused to copy the files or even freeze at the copying stage.
This is what happens:
After following the setup wizard to set up my MBP. Without installing any 3rd party application. I updated everything and OS X 10.5.6. Next I tried copying some folders containing .RAR, .dmg, and txt files from my PC to a thumbdrive . Then copy all those folders from my thumbdrive to my home folder in Mac. (Its a 2GB Thumb drive on FAT file system)
A window pops up saying:
The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items.
After clicking Continue (its the only button) on that popup window. The copying status window show 23.5MB of 1.73GB copied. The status bar juz freezes at that position even after waiting for 15mins. I tried clicking Stop Copying but no response. Waited for another 7mins but still nothing happens. I tried to dismount thumb drive but it says the thumb drive is still in use.
I tried to Force Quit but the window shows Finder as the only application running. It only have the option to Relaunch. Clicked Relaunch and it does close the copying process but still cant dismount thumbdrive. Ive no choice but to shutdown then restart. This happens three times in a row.
AppleCare technical suggest I format my thumb drive using Mac then try copying the files again. This actually works when I tested by copying one of the folders. But the same issue happens again when I tried copying a second folder.
The weird thing is when I try to copy the same folder of files which I succeeded in copying during the first try. The same problem pop up now!!! Whats happening??
Sometimes when this problem happens, my Mac even refusing to shutdown and Ive to painfully do a hard power down.
Did any of you experience this issue before? Please offer some advise.
Ive great hope and confidence before switching to Mac. Knowing that OSX is close to rock stable. But now, Im starting to get disappointed when such issue happens on a BRAND NEW MBP without even installing any 3rd party applications yet?
Please could anyone of the Mac gurus help me?
