Hi,

The computer was coping a file from one dist to another when I forgot and closed the lid. Now I get:

The Finder can’t complete the operation because some data in “movies” can’t be read or written.

(Error code -36)

when I try to copy again.

Any suggestions how to recover?

You'll have to try to copy files one at a time until you hit the problem one, then delete it and restore it from backup or original source.
