Error Copying File Or Folder Unspecified Error
today whilst migrating some data from a 500GB External USB HDD to a new 1TB External USB HDD,

both attached to a client server. Some of the data refused to copy across, throwing up a "Cannot copy file. The Parameter Is Incorrect Error" each time. Same error when http://www.scootersoftware.com/support.php?zz=kb_parameterisincorrect the copy was attempted in DOS, RoboCopy or XCOPY. Upon investigation, each of the problematic files were 10GB+ in size - and suddenly the realisation dawned - that the new external HDD was formatted as FAT32 and not NTFS, and thus suffered from FAT32's 4GB file limit. A quick format to NTFS on the drive, and I was able to copy http://www.tubblog.co.uk/2008/08/28/cannot-copy-file-the-parameter-is-incorrect/ those large files across without issue. Obviously, I have become so used to working with large files nowadays that sometimes I forget things weren't always this way!

This discussion is locked glossy2109 Level 1 (0 points) Q: Parameter Error when Transferring Files from ipod to laptop Hi,I have posted this topic previously https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2491593?tstart=0 but didnt respond fast enough and I think the system locked it down as I had too long of a delay.I have recently set up iTunes on a laptop and want to start using this http://pressf1.pcworld.co.nz/showthread.php?94800-Cannot-copy-filename-quot-The-parameter-is-incorrect-quot as my default iTunes for syncing etc. Unfortunately I no longer have access to the desktop that housed my original iTunes so I have followed the instructions to use my ipod as an external error copying disc and transfer the files this way.These are the instructions I have followed http://lifehacker.com/105256/how-to-copy-songs-from-your-ipod-to-your-pcThere are two issues I see. (1) the ipod control folder is allowing me to see what is housed in the folder but it is slightly greyed out compared to the other folders in the same location.(2) when I try and copy the music folder to my desktop etc I get a parameter error.So for error copying file example the error I have when transferring to my desktop I get"Cannot copy OUTO (the file): The parameter is incorrect.Hopefully someone has seen this before.thx dell latitude D531, Windows XP Posted on Jul 3, 2010 12:22 PM I have this question too Close Q: Parameter Error when Transferring Files from ipod to laptop All replies Helpful answers by FingersCrossed, FingersCrossed Jul 4, 2010 12:17 PM in response to glossy2109 Level 1 (0 points) Jul 4, 2010 12:17 PM in response to glossy2109 I'm not able to recreate, but here's a best guess...1) If the grayed out appearance of the iPod control folder is more like the usual icon for a folder just a little more transparent, then that's because the folder is normally "hidden" but since you would have turned on the option to show hidden files and folders, it's appeared but with that appearance to signify that it's a hidden folder.2) Instead of copying the Music folder, try copying the subfolders under it (which there should be several).Hope that helps.
