Finder error code 100006

I'm trying to combine g-tech drives onto a larger g-tech drive. I've partitioned the 10TB drive. I'm trying

to copy the first smaller drive to the larger. I'm using copy/paste on each folder. It keeps failing at a

different point each time. the latest error code is100006. I don't know if it makes a difference but each

error code ends in a 6.

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.

error code -36 Dear community, I am aware that solutions to "error code -36" have been asked multiple times, but the behavior I see is different from what I could read so far, so I am opening this topic. Precise error: The Finder can’t complete the operation because some data in “” can’t be read or written. (Error code -36) just as a note: there is nothing between “” in the error. I am copying some (sub-sub) folders under my Documents to another location contained in Documents. No external drives involved. If I try to copy the folders containing files, "error code -36" appears. If I try to copy the files contained in the folders, no error. Multiple files, also no error. If I try to copy even an empty folder, the error appears. If I create a new empty folder and I try to copy it to the second location, the error appears. If I move the folders, no problem at all. Just for now I am creating new folders and sub-folders in the location I need and I am copying the files. Besides being this method "quite less practical" than Command+C Command+V... I would like to solve the issue. Never experienced this before. The only recent activity that come up to my mind is the update the OS to Monterey 12.5.1 a couple of days ago. So far I tried as solutions, as suggested here around, as solutions: . starting the Mac in Safe Mode -> same behavior . Run Dot_Clean command from Terminal Any help will be appreciated, Thank you!!

How much memory do you have? Have you tried just dragging the folder from the old drive to the volume on the new drive?

What I would do us use the demo version of Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the older drive to the partition on the new drive.
