Error: "Operation can’t be completed unexpected error 100093."
You're not alone if you're reading this.
You've installed macOS Ventura and can't copy files to a select device or drive you own via macOS Ventura Finder.
Yes, copying files to select external devices/drives may result in "Operation can’t be completed unexpected error 100093". After two hours of speaking with Apple Customer Service regarding the issue, I was escalated to a Senior Advisor to help troubleshoot the issue. After two hours with the nicest Senior Advisor at Apple, there wasn't a resolution. The Advisor was just as surprised as my team and promised to escalate to the developers; however, Advisors are not allowed to provide follow-ups.
Please know that the copying issue isn't tied to just HEX or BIN files, as stated online. The advisor and I tried copying over simple text (txt) files to an external HD and experienced the same issue. Note that for our team, this is an internal dummy drive inside of a product that receives firmware updates for performance enhancements.
After a thorough read of multiple articles and extensive testing by the Advisor and myself, we've concluded the following:
- when a file is copied from a Mac to select external drives, Finder appears to add attributes to the file before the transfer.
- Finder does NOT appear to add these identifiers to the original file.
- therefore, when the file that was copied over to the external device is compared to the original file, they're no longer identical due to the additional attributes added to the copied file.
- Error.
