"The operation can't be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -8084)." While copying my files and folders from BoxDrive to external HD. I got the following msg.: "The operation can't be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -8084)." I made sure that all the files and folders I was copying were available offline. What does this error code mean? How to resolve it?

Error -50 trying to move or copy files from WD External to new MacBook Air Help anyone! I have a fairly new WD External drive with all my life on it, the brand new MacBook Air I just purchased can see the files but every time I try to move or copy any of them I get an error code -50. I am beyond frustrated. I did move them into the cloud and then they disappeared from the cloud. Does anyone know anything? In your debt in you do.

Sounds like you're trying to copy Time Machine files maybe?
