"can't be copied because it is too large for the volume's format"

Hi all,

I get the message that a file I want to transfer to my Live TV Hub is “can’t be copied because it is too large for the volume’s format”.

Now I’ve read that this can often be solved by ensuring the right format for the drive. I have the correct format (NTFS) and a lot of files that are as large or large than this one already on there.

This just started today out of the blue.

Any help is appreciated.

I assume that this is a Mac message.

Have you got a lot of spare space on the hub - more than enough for your file.

Are you copying it over a network.

Have you tried a reset to factory defaults in the setup menu,

Thanks for the reply.

It is a Mac message. I managed to transfer the file eventually. Took a few resets of my WD but then it worked. Strange but happy it’s solved.

I’m getting this message trying to move an 11GB file from my Mac to WDTV Live Hub. Plenty of space on the hard drive. Anyone have a clue? How did you resolve your problem?
