Repeated Error Code - 50 when copying files
I have an older Mac Pro (Model: MacPro 4.1). It is currently running Mavericks although I'm planning to update to Yosemite later today to see if that helps my problem. I have a lot of external hard drives and am moving a ton of footage around. I keep getting Error Code -50 when I copy files between these hard drives.
When I delete apple.com.finder.plist and restart the computer that fixes the problem and I'm able to copy the files but then I get the error code later when I try to copy different files from different drives, including brand new drives. I thought it might have something to do with the naming conventions but a lot of this is raw footage and if I rename the files it will mess up everything since these drives are being used for editing. This makes me think the issues must be something with the finder, the OS or even the hard drive the OS is installed on.
At this point I'm blindly trying different solutions and would love some educated guesses on what could be causing this issue and how to fix it. I'm also wondering if this computer is just too old to handle the level of work it's being put through. Any ideas would be much appreciated. Thanks!
Mac Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)
