Second, maybe it's not the new RAM module but the old one. Third, your drive may be corrupted. Try this:Drive Preparation1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (for Intel Macs) or APM (for PP
running 10.6.2, are experiencing a widespread problem related to copying directories to Windows-formatted volumes in Finder.

that resided in a folder seemed to be affected. I could copy the files individually just fine, but not an entire folder at once. Finder would have none of it. If you're running Mac OS X 10.6.2 and have https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2707360?tstart=0 a MS-DOS/FAT-formatted disk handy, here is a quick way to replicate the problem. Create a new folder on the MS-DOS drive with Finder and copy any file from your Mac right into that folder. It could be anything… I used a random image on my Desktop, for example. Copy the entire folder from the MS-DOS drive to your Mac's Desktop. Copy the folder from your Desktop right back onto the MS-DOS drive. Boom! You just got slapped with http://www.macyourself.com/2010/01/07/solution-to-finder-error-code-36-in-10-6-when-copying-folders/ the following error, didn't you? "The Finder can't complete the operation because some data can't be read or written. (Error code -36)." Every time, without fail, this has occurred on all Snow Leopard machines I've tried. Sure, you can reformat the USB flash drive to Mac OS Extended to get around the error, but that kills Windows compatibility. Instead, let's dig deeper. It turns out the problem stems from the "dot-underscore" companion files that Mac OS X's HFS+ filesystem creates for files when they get moved to FAT16 or FAT32 volumes. These hidden files – which start with "._" followed by the original filename – contain extra information to go along with the main file's data. Apparently things get screwy in 10.6.2 and don't go well when folders from a Windows-compatible volume get moved to a Mac and then back again. The dreaded "Error code -36" message is the result. If you run into this horribly inconvenient bug, there is a temporary solution until Apple gets their act together. It involves stripping the main file of its unneeded dot-underscore buddy. Don't worry, you won't lose anything important in the process. Here's what you can do: Launch Terminal (Applications > Utilities) and type the following command, making sure to include a space at the end: dot_clean Select the folder on your Mac that is giving you trouble and drag it right to the T

I'm trying to copy large video files (+ 4.5 gigs) to an external drive formatted in FAT32 through Mac OS Snow Leopard. I get the 'error code 0' that apparently is a limitation in macOS when dealing with FAT32, limiting the error code size of files copied. Reformatting the external drive is not an option. I've tried using the windows emulator 'Crossover 10,' but it doesn't do the trick. Also, Pathfinder doesn't seem to avert the file transfer glitch. My question is whether I could VMWare Fusion or something similar as a workaround. posted by rudster to Computers & error code 36 Internet (8 answers total) Fat32 has a file size limitation of 4gb.
