Hi
I have a 1TB WD my passport studio and I'm trying to copy a 2.5gb file to it and I keep getting the following errors:

The Finder can’t complete the operation because some data in “MVI_0051.MOV” can’t be read or written.
(Error code -36)

and then this straight after

The operation can’t be completed because one or more required items can’t be found.
(Error code -43)

The HD is formatted to Mac (OS extended, journaled). I am using a macbook pro with 10.7.5 OS installed.

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

Based on the Apple support website the “error code 36” refers to an “I/O error” and the “error code 43” refers to “file not found, folder not found”.

As a recommendation please try to copy these files to a different drive or try copying another files to he external drive to verify if you get the same errors.
