I recently tried to transfer some of my music to a flash drive. This was attempted after the most recent system update. I receive an Error Code 43 whether I try to move a single song or a group of songs.
iMac (27-inch Late 2009), iOS 7.0.6
How exactly did you try this? Did you also try dragging files directly to the drive?
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.
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.
