error code - 36

Question

error code - 36

When I try dragging a file (photo or video) onto my G-DRIVE USB external hard drive. It starts importing than stops with a message saying it cant be done because of error code - 36. the weirder thing is it will work at random times. I tried dragging this video onto it like 6 times it wouldn't let me. Fifteen minutes later it did. But with somethings the message doesnt change. I looked at old questions that we similar to this and their answers did no help... suggestions?

A MacBook cannot run iOS. What version of OS X are you running?

This is the Snow Leopard OS 10.6 forum.

Your problem, hardware or software, is not the same as that of the original poster of this older thread, and it can be very confusing for everybody if we try to answer more than one question in each thread, which can also result in you applying the wrong advice to your particular problem.

In order for us to give your problem our proper attention to try to solve it, would you kindly start your own thread, describing the trouble you are having in the fullest detail, including completing your details to show what Mac or iDevice you are using, what operating system, and what version of the application in question. Please remember to post in the forum relevant to your hardware or version of OS X. A full list of all the support forums is here:
