Cannot move iPhoto Library: error code -36
I am trying to move my iPhoto (V9.2.3) Library from MacBk Air (running 10.6.8) to an eternal HD formatted Extended (Journaled), and it quickly hangs and gives me the following: The Finder can’t complete the operation because some data in “iPhoto 2014malc Library” can’t be read or written. (Error code -36).
Same thing happens when I try to transfer the Library over the wireless network to my iMac.
I cannot find this error code online, except for a reference suggesting it is an I/O error.
Can I repair something? Delete a cache and rebuild?
(I already have a TimeMachine Backup which seems to have gone okay, but I want a second copy of the Library, which will become my new working source as I retire this laptop.)
Thanks for your suggestions 🙂
