You can't open the application AirServer because it may be damaged or incomplete.


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

(Error code -36)

Error code -36 is associated with trying to copy corrupted files. From your other error messages, it is clear the corrupted file is your AirServer app.


To start with, check your main disk using the Disk Utility tool in the Applications > Utilities folder (It takes a while...).


Please uninstall AirServer. If you have the paid version, make sure you have the registration code saved somewhere. Although I remember that finding where the AirServer client utility was installed was hard, your full app should be in your Applications folder. Just drag it to the Trash and empty it. You can re-download and re-install it later.


The official uninstall instruction are here: http://support.airserver.com/customer/portal/articles/1465541--how-do-i-uninstal l-airserver-from-my-mac-


Because the file appears to be corrupted, you might experience issues deleting it, or emptying the Trash. If that occurs, hold down the Command key when emptying.


If this still doesn't do it, you'll have to use a Terminal command to delete the file. I'm not an expert in command line usage, so please post a separate question on this forum requesting help with that.
