Mar 6, 2014 7:57 PM in response to ltrowlandby Limnos,How exactly did you try this? Did you also try dragging files directly to the drive?

Mar 7, 2014 3:25 AM in response to ltrowlandby ltrowland,Yes. I tried dragging the files, but for the first time in years, I was unable to complete the action because of the Error Code. Two friends have also experienced the same thing.

Mar 7, 2014 6:07 AM in response to ltrowlandby Limnos,Is there anything about your configuration you could tell us that might help? For starters, if you are dragging the files from a Finder window to the flash drive iTunes is not involved. You would have been better off posting in the operating system (OD) forum for the OS version you are running (your profile does not include that).
Error -43 is an OS "file not found" error. This seems to happen occcasionally when a second drive is involved, particularly one shared with a Windows machine. E.g., Archived - Mac OS X, Mac OS X Server: "Error -43" When Using Windows File Sharing (SMB) - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2039 - "There are three causes for this: illegal characters, a permissions issue, and/or a non-existent share point."
Try using Disk Utility to repair permissions on the drive.
Drive corruption is possible, Use Disk Utility to repair your drive. How you do this exactly will depend upon your OS version.
