Help! Can't Copy my iTunes Media - Error Code 100092

Hi Everyone,

Hoping someone can help me out with this. I just got a new Macbook Pro and I am manually transferring everything from my old MBP and I've run into a problem with iTunes.

I've copied all my iTunes Media onto an external hard drive but when I try to paste it to my new MBP's iTunes music folder I get an error message - "The operation can't be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code 100092)."

The pasting goes all the way right to the end - from 20,000? files in about 15 minutes to zero and then right at the last step this error occurs...

Anybody have any ideas how to fix this?

Thanks so much for any ideas...

Franco

Apparently that error is triggered by an illegal byte sequence, which in turn might suggest some corruption on your external drive. You might find the Synkron a useful tool to copy over the folder in way that, hopefully, can copy everything except any problematic files rather than crashing when it encounters them.
