    Why does it say "file is too large for destination" when the destination has more than...


    I brought an Onn 32 gigabyte usb stick from Walmart that I'm using for a place to store program and other thing. The file I'm trying to copy is 4.5gb iso file and the stick has 22gb free. When I try to copy it, I get an error stating that the file is too big for the file destination. This makes absolutely no sense, and I don't know why it's doing this. Is there a cause for this and how do I fix it?

    :)

  2. Access Points and Destinations

    it takes a bit of getting used to moving from the access point lists to the destinations list they use now.



    a couple of points i would suggest that are useful is that

    1 many applications will inherit the settings specified in the browser or the 'default' setting in the destinations menu

    2 you can add destinations and copy access points to them, if say you want some things to use wifi and an internet cell access point in that order, but you want something else to only only the internet cell access point you can add it to a new destination.

    3 some apps that bring up the destinations list allow you to select access points from the options menu.

  3. Destination not large enough for file.

    I have a backup file from a program that I use and I am trying to copy the backup file to a flash drive. The file is a little less than 5GB, the first flash drive had a little less than 10GB of free space. The dialog box says the file is too large for
    the destination...So opened a brand new 16GB flash drive and tried that one...same result. Then I tried putting the backup in a compressed folder and tried again...same result. Any ideas? It seems to me as though 5 is less than 16... am I missing something?

    Print to PDF destination file

    how do you change the destination of the Print to PDF ? I know it defaults to the documents folder, but I want to change the destination to a easier location.

    Can it be done or is it another "wish list" for future updates?
