Could you not send it by WeTransfer or something like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea what that is :-( Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Just had a quick google, they charge for any thing over 10 gb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gizmo Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 The files in question don't have excessively long file-names? Only thing I can think of - or your system/flash key couldn't cope with the amount at one time. Might be worth trying a small copying session first and see if it doesn't timeout. There are fake flash keys on sale same as memory cars, as daft as it sounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N User Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Did your just yank it out? After you transfer them, keep the stick in fire a wee bit and make sure you use the remove disk safely option (or something like that) in the bottom right pic screen.

sinbad Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Depends what format your flash key is. Did you reformat it? Fat32+ or ntfs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudolf's Mate Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Think Sinbad might be right. If you're attempting to do one big file dump, one of the formats only allows files of 2gb transfers. Can't recall which. I'd have thought because it was music that they'd be separate files and small in size but it could be because of this. Easy way is reformat and change to ntfs (I think fat32 is restricted). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricardo Quaresma Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Sounds like a classic fake; re-format it to test what it reports its capacity to be afterwards Where'd you get it? 60GB is an unusual number, should be 64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
