Re: Need 2 things via PB G4 and OS Lion directory help
Hi David. Thank you for the response. Since copying is a Finder operation, this would translate into a force Finder to quit -wich was what was hoping to avoid. Actually I was wondering if there was any way to simply get the Mac to obey what it's told to do when you use the intended operation (stop copying).

The solution is to copy in chunks until you run into the problem file. There's no other way about it. -- Bruce Johnson Wherever you go, there you are B.

The solution is to copy in chunks until you run into the problem file. There's no other way about it. You might be able to minimize the chunk operation with a binary search. Copy the bottom half of the files. If that fails copy the top half then try half of the original bottom half. If it works copy half of the top half. Continue with smaller and smaller halves until there's only one file left. If you have a bunch of bad files it won't works so well, sorry. -- -- From the U S of A, the only socialist country that refuses to admit it. -- -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Need 2 things via PB G4 and OS Lion directory help
Greetings all, I have a Powerbook G4 connected to an Intel iMac via Target Disk mode, with the intent of copying files to the iMac in preparation for a nuke and pave for the G4 Powerbook (which it desperately needs at this point, as it is exhibiting serious OS issues, hence why the owner gave it to me to help them out). The iMac is running Lion (10.7) and the G4 is running leopard (10.5.8). Here are my questions: 1) in Lion, how do I make the folder window (when opened in List view) indicate at the bottom of the window the no. of items currently in the folder (as it does in Leopard and snow Leopard)? Every window in 10.5, when opened, displays information re; the no. of items in the folder, and the amount of disk space still available - I want to replicate that in Lion. 2) probably more important, as i am copying all these files from the G4 to the iMac (wedding photos, darn it, the ONLY copies, darn x 2!, so I gotta get them off!), sometimes the copying hangs on a (I suspect) corrupted file, and I can't get the iMac to give up trying (the little grey X in the copy progress bar supposedly used to stop copying is thoroughly useless) - currently I have no choice but to relaunch the Finder, which in turn hangs to relaunch until I either unplug the FW cable to the G4, or shut down altogether and relaunch, which I know is NOT the best option. Any way to make the iMac give up copying harmlessly? Any thoughts on either would be greatly appreciated.
