I don't remember having this issue using a smaller sized SD card, say 16MB. My wife has a laptop running Vista, I have had no problems with that particular machine. Sunday, December 7, PM. Actually it is neither video nor large files that is the only culprit. It has two hard drives. I just added the second hard drive to the machine and installed a fresh clean install of Vista on the newly installed hard drive as it is now my primary drive.
The old hard drive has all the old data on it. I am in the process of cleaning up the drive and consolidating needed data. In the process of deleting a few files I received this error, not only through Windows Explorer but through a command prompt as well. Here is my output of the command prompt window. Friday, January 9, PM. This is a weird one. I'm also thinking that large video files are just one symptom of the problem, because I am getting it whenever I try to access a shared folder on another PC via Windows Explorer.
Everything had been working fine when both machines were running Vista Ultimate, and I never encountered this error. But since upgrading my laptop to the Windows 7 beta, I have never been able to connect to a share on another machine without seeing this. I'm pulling my hair out trying to finx a solution - sure hope someone comes up with something before I go bald! Thursday, January 15, PM. I've got the same msg trying to use Vista Ultimate Backup. I have two internal sata drives and I'm attempting to back up from C to D when it halts with this msg.
I then tried to copy my docs folder using the desktop. Same problem. It's SP1 with all drivers current. I used to tell everyone how good Vista is but this is really concerning me. Sunday, January 25, PM. This error is usually the result of a DHCP renewal. Switch to using static IP addresses and see if that helps.
You are most likely experiencing a DHCP address renewal during your file copy operations. Tuesday, January 27, PM. Friday, February 13, PM. Friday, March 6, PM. This problem seems to be about DHCP. It has nothing to do with any router, ISP as I have tried many combinations. The OS seems fine. This has wasted about two weeks of my life.
Any help would be appreciated. My NIC has many undocumented settings but I have them all on the default and none seem to have anything to do with timeouts. Sunday, March 15, PM. I did not mean to click propose as answer. I was reading the button as Propose AN Answer, my bad.
I have had a lot of problems on my home network transfering lots of data between 2 machines. The main problem child is my Vista machine. I think the NIC in it has some compatibility issues but what I did for a workaround was install sync toy. It is a great little utility for syncing folders between machines. It has built in retries so even if your transfer bags it, you will not have so start at the beginning. You will not have to click no or yes to all on overwrite if you have to start again on a large multi file transfer.
It will scan source and destination and only copy whatever files still need copied. Give it a shot. I love it. What's the worst that could happen? Tuesday, June 30, PM. Well, since about half the people on this aren't transferring over a network, I would say that DHCP isn't the problem, at least in those cases.
The smallest file I have had this trouble with is a I am also getting the error while simply trying to access folders on these drives that contain large amounts of data in them. I had no change after doing this. Naxt, I installed a USB 2. I am no longer getting the USB errors this way but I am still getting the "semaphore timeout period" error. So I don't think it is related to the USB ports. What causes it in each case could be different, thus the difficulty in troubleshooting.
Consequently, I doubt that one fix will solve everyones problem, but perhaps through this forum we can dial it down to all of the most common causes and fixes. I have tried all the ones here for my case with no luck, and I can see that others have had the same trouble.
If anyone has any ideas about my particular situation please advise. I will try anything at this point. Saturday, July 4, PM. Although I agree this error is not exclusive to networking, this thread was started almost two years ago now by someone with a network issue and is logged under networking.
Size and type of files irrelevant It seems to me if you want to start to understand semaphore timeouts you can just leave out the word "semaphore" Thursday, August 6, AM.
Well to those that bother to keep track of these issues I for one am still having the same drama. For extra interest, it does not happen across a wired LAN! Will or perhaps they have MS fix this? Server is Ubuntu 8.
Vista is the only OS that has this drama. Thursday, August 27, AM. Checked the Event Log, rebooted the server, searched the web. Still fighting it. Posted something on the Home Server Forum earlier, will see if that leads to anything. Sunday, August 30, AM. Sunday, August 30, PM. Microsoft are no help at all, they know this problem exists yet ignore all requests of help to find a solution.
BTW this patch is vista 32 and 64 related, so if you are an XP user then unfortunately this may not be of any help. Good luck guys. Sunday, September 6, PM. I too received this error last night. My dilema, is that it has appeared to corrupt my hard disk. After I received this error, I rebooted and the drive is no longer available. I supposed it is possible that I have a hardware issue with my controller, but Wednesday, September 9, PM. Me Too. I bought a new gb imation apollo hard drive.
I wonder if it has to do with installing the new backup drive USB. Very frustrating. Now trying to back up so that I can install everything from scratch, but getting the timeout error!! Wednesday, October 7, AM. Hello, here is solution for problems with sdhc memory sticks or beter problems with Ricoh card reader. Friday, November 13, PM. Hi guys, I experienced this trouble for about a week, trawling forums and googling to the point where i had just about given up.
Brassnex And may I ask if anyone else has tried this suggested "patch" please? Hard an OS that is fit for purpose. Sunday, November 15, PM. Hello I have lately the same problem. Copying to this new NAS causes this error. I have to unplug the router and reboot it to get it working again. Observation: Even due to the fact that the router not supports Sunday, November 22, PM.
Microsoft is incredulous, ignoring this long-standing "semaphore timeout" issue. I believe this is simply a timeout regarding the response from the NAS or any drive share. I believe the timeout is seemingly random, thus why some people experience it on even small files, but with large file you increase the liklihood of a timeout due to more opportunities for it to happen given the longer period of time.
Note: I also sometimes get error, "The specified network name is no longer available" when even doing a "dir" command. I am wireless, and wireless often gets brief interruptions in data streams, so my guess is that it is that. You can such interruptions such as when you watched some streamed videos from the Internet and they simply stop altogether - very frustrating!
So, Microsoft needs to do something about the timeout or the handling of sparatic disconnect states to allow a resume upon reconnection???? It should be done as regular maintenance. Thursday, November 26, AM. I hope someone will come up with a solution. Friday, November 27, PM. This is dam annoying! Well if it makes any difference, I upgraded from Vista Ultimate to Windows 7 Professional and I am still having the same problem.
I have been working with MS for over a month now with no resolution yet. My backups fail with my Outlook file - which is under 1Gb and now the Windows Media database is failing as well.
It's amazing that this has been going on for so long with no resolution from MS. Saturday, December 5, AM. Rosedio, Often you cannot backup files that are open, never can backup an open.
Make certain your outlook. Similarly, database files will not backup if the database engine is running. In your case of Windows Media database, make sure to first stop service windows media.
Really, "backup" is best run in safe mode which has a minimal of running services and running programs that are locking up files That's why you pay the big bucks for backup software like Backup Excec because they can backup database and locked files off of MS VSS versions In most "normal" people's cases, however, we don't really have many locked files to worry about, so we use the freebie and manually shut off processes before backup.
Saturday, December 5, PM. Tuesday, December 8, PM. I finally fixed the problem. I had the same error over and over again. In my case it was the security of my router. I disabled it and now it runs perfect Greetz, Victor. Wednesday, January 6, PM. Transferred my large file without issue in seconds. Thanks dreads76! Saturday, January 30, PM. Hi All, i know this is an old topic, but i noticed it has still been kept alive and no real solution has been found.
I cannot remember who but they were correct in saying youd get a better understanding if you disregard the word semaphore. It is a general timeout issue with data transfer. Now, for me, im trying, simply to access my external HDD, not transfer as such, but just browse. What was worrying however is an error message appeared Popup windows standard error dialogue box stating the system cannot read the drive, but gave 3 options.
Try again, continue or cancel. Try again simply made the error re eappear, however continue proceeded and an error in cmd appeared, stating that a particular director was "entirely unreadable" and it actually removed this directory. It has not finished yet but i will post back with an update to let you all know if this fixes the issue where data transfer between machine and external HDD is concerned. Also note please, that the folder it removed, was created 2 days ago, and from the time of creating this folder was EXACTLY the point in time where i began having this issue.
So the corrupted folder chkdsk has found may be the coulprit, will update as necessary so you can establish where your problems may lie. Also, id like to thank everyone for their input and help troubleshoot the issues, i signed up just to post this and help where i can as i was happy with the level of service and help from users such as myself.

I was having the same problems for the longest time. My USB pen drives were useless to me as they kept timing out when I tried to copy large files. Hopefully this will help some others as well.
The program is a Registry Cleaner called 'Disk Cleaner' and you can get it here if interested. This might not solve your problem but it certainly did mine. Good luck Monday, March 1, AM. Wednesday, November 17, AM. I suspect a hardware issue somewhere, but the SD card problem resolved for me on a Dell when I used the hardware 'lock' on the card itself, making it read-only.
The problem went away immediately. Wednesday, December 1, PM. Wednesday, December 8, AM. Hi all, Im getting this error while copying 28GB. The semaphore timeout period has expired. Can anyone help with this? Proposed as answer by semtimeout Monday, December 20, PM. Tuesday, December 14, PM. Meanwhile I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it does recure or crop up in another place Monday, December 20, PM. I got the semaphore error before I ran the command from the page and now it works fine.
Wednesday, December 29, PM. I am getting that same message but I'm not trying to copy over a network. Just clicking on the folder gets me that message and I can't access the folder or any of the files. I don't know what to do now. Tuesday, March 22, PM. Hi, I've had the same issue with an SD flash-card. Sunday, March 27, PM. Monday, May 2, PM. Wednesday, May 4, AM. Then after I was able to movie it like a snap. Please ignore if this is already solved! Regards, A.
Tuesday, August 23, AM. After experiencing the same issue with transferring files between disks, I opened an elevated command prompt and was able to transfer the files via the copy command without any issues.
I wouldn't call it a solution, but that's the only work-around I've been able to get to work. Monday, April 2, PM. I found that there was a bios update for my motherboard on my Win XP PC that fixed a timeout issue with file transfers.
Apparently some time during SP2 this became a problem and even program updates to the Win XP computer had started to fail. Tuesday, April 3, AM. Finding other methods to read it, just thought I'd add. Tuesday, May 1, PM. The semaphore timeout occured i had the same error in copying file from a connection through vpn via internet.

Well, that is my thoughts of the above matter. Thursday, November 21, PM. Thanks for the Help. Tuesday, October 28, PM. None of the suggestions nor proposed solutions above helped. Sunday, May 24, PM. Four years later here, with my two cents' worth of notes about this rather versatile error message: My case was trying to copy videos off an SD card.

Saturday, May 14, PM. Sunday, July 31, PM. I was having this exact same problem on Windows 7 professional. On windows 7, it kept on saying "semaphore period has timed out" or something like that.
