Q: how to find locked files for unknown file error (-54)
As I attempt to synch my iPhone 6 Plus in iTunes, I receive the error "Attempting to copy to the disk Macintosh HD failed. An unknown error occurred (-54)." I have done some research across the discussion communities and found a few articles related to locked files.
Steps attempted:
- I have rebooted my Mac mini - no change
- I have used Disk Utility to verify disk permissions on the main boot drive "Macintosh HD" - no change
- now I'm trying to use terminal to find locked files within my iTunes library folder, as i have 9,948 song files in the library.
Mac mini, OS X El Capitan (10.11.4), mid 2011 8GB RAM
