Error code -36 MacBook Air M1 with Big Sur
HELP! I bought a new MacBook Air. I plugged in a USB-C external drive and tried to copy a directory of music (ALAC files) onto the new laptop. I got the error code -36 ... I tried a different external drive, same problem. I tried a different USB-C cable, same problem. I returned the laptop and bought another one, thinking the laptop might be defective. Well, you can see where this is going... same problem! Is this an issue with M1, Big Sur or both? Has anyone had this same problem? I am a mobile DJ and I need to be able to transfer my music onto the laptop. I'm stuck. I tried the dot clean thing with Terminal and it didn't fix the problem. Note: both external drives were formatted using a Mac. They have never been exFat or Fat32 (nothing related to Windows).
