fix error code -36 I tried all the solutions offered on websites and the forums to no avail. The only solution that worked for me with "The Finder can’t complete the operation because some data in “” can’t be read or written. (Error code -36)" Resetting PRAM after a shutdown fixed the problem. 2012 mac mini with OCLP Ventura 13.4.1

Well, in pure Apple File System talk... -36 ioErr I/O error (bummers)

Not very helpful, but generally means a Drive quit being Readable or Writable since starting the operation.

Could it be a flaky cable, dying drive or enclosure, or drawing to many mAs on the USB Bus?
