Photos for Mac
Q: error code 36
I'm trying to copy a photos library from one hard drive to another, but upon dragging and dropping, an error code 36 pops up (see attached photo). The hard drives are intact because I tried doing this with two different ones that are both new. Any ideas? Thank you!
MacBook Air, OS X El Capitan (10.11.4)
