Hi, gundumss. Welcome to the Discussions.
Error code -36 is listed in
"Mac OS System Error Codes: 0 to -261" as "I/O error (bummers)" essentially meaning that the file is corrupted and unusable. While the linked document is supposed to apply to Mac OS 9, many apps, like Finder, still return error code -36 for corrupted files. If the file is truly corrupted, there's no way to fix it. If you're trying to copy a group of files and one of them is corrupted, the copy for the group stops at the point where the corrupted file is to be copied.
As a general checkup, I suggest you run the procedure outlined in my
"Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption" FAQ. Perform the steps therein in the order specified.
Good luck!
😉 Dr. Smoke
