see this error when you are attempting to copy files to an external hard drive that is formatted as FAT. FAT32 is a Windows file system that can be read and written to by Mac OS X.

Mac Os X Error Code 36
to use drives formatted with Mac OS Extended (Journaled) or HFS+ file systems, however a Windows PC will not be able to access either of these file systems without additional software. There is no reliable way to force FAT32 to accept file sizes larger https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5206823?start=0&tstart=0 than 4GB, and FAT16 is an even older file system with worse limitations of 2GB file sizes. Do note that if you want a drive to be properly accessible by both Mac OS X and Windows, you can format the drive as NTFS, and use an NTFS mounter for Mac OS X to try and write to the drive, however NTFS is not officially supported by Apple and you may run into some problems when writing data to the destination device. You're much better off using a FAT file http://osxdaily.com/2010/05/07/copy-error-code-0/ system if you want true Mac and Windows compatibility with a drive, and as long as you avoid enormous files or copy them directly between a Mac and PC - and not the intermediary disk drive - you won't see those Error Code 0 messages in the Finder when trying to copy anything.

If you have a backup drive just do yourself a favor and keep it journaled, why bother with something Mac OS doesn't even support? Reply Jacob says: October 23, 2011 at 11:27 am I'm currently sailing, I have a Macbook and an external HD and most of my colleagues have external HD's, that are formatted as NTFS. So yes Billy Balmer McGates, why bother with making other peoples HD's work with your system, when you want to be able to share files, such as pictures from the sail, with your colleagues.

rather funny code that got me confused for quite a while. Every time I tried to copy the file it would throw up an error box saying http://www.mactricksandtips.com/2010/01/copying-files-error-code-0.html the file can't be copied, an "unexpected error has occurred, code 0". The solution was decisively simple and very easy to overcome. Its due to the FAT32 partitioning system I was copying to. This post is going to explain how you can get around it. FAT32 has a file size limit. You can read more about it on wikipedia. Due to the way the allocation is set, it mac os wont allow files bigger than 4GB. This wasn't a problem years ago when files didn't get this big, but with home movies and large files in general this limit can be reached. With normal day to day operations with your Mac you won't encounter this problem. However it may come across if you are using a FAT drive or USB stick. There are two ways to get around mac os x this problem. The first is to format your destination drive to a different format, for example you can convert it to HFS which can be used by your Mac. You may run into problems if you want to use Windows. Alternatively you can use a plugin such as NTFS-3G to write to NTFS drives, this allows you to write to it on Windows and Mac and have large file sizes. For a table on formats I recommend this one. Formatting drives can be done in Disk Utility in Applications > Utilities. Formatting can be a bit of a pain. The best way is to split the file up using an application. One method on reducing files sizes is to archive it. Most of the time this wont do much in terms of file size and you still may end up with a large file. The best way then, is to split up the file into smaller chunks. The best method is to use an app called Split&Concat. This app takes a file and splits it up into small chunks of your choosing. You can then put it on a memory stick moving it a different location and then put it back toge
