Error -36 when copy iMovie library
Hi , when I copy library iMovie from usb disk to usb disk at 3 gb , system are blocked and error -36 appear
Question marked as
If checking the Ignore Ownership on this Volume box doesn't solve it, then consider the following:
Error 36 is an input/output error. It can be caused by several things, such as:
1.Corruption in one or more iMovie projects in the iMovie library, or corruption in the library itself;
2.Improper format of the destination drive or originating drive;
3.Unstable connection between the external drive and the Mac;
4.Restrictive permissions that are prohibiting the transfer;
5.A conflict on the Mac.
If No. 1 is the issue, you can try creating a new library on the destination drive and transferring
each project individually from your originating library to the new library. In the process you might discover a corrupt project that is causing the issue.
If No. 2 might be the issue, do a control-click/get Info on each drive and make sure that each drive
is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled). If they are not that format, that might be the cause of the problem. In such case you can reformat the appropriate drive to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) or APFS using the disk utility app on your Mac. Be aware that reformatting erases all data on the drive, so be sure first to back up each drive before reformatting.
If No. 3 might be the problem, check all of your wires and connections, and sockets, that you are
using to make sure that they are functioning correctly.
If No. 4 might be the problem, do a control-click/get info on each drive and on the library and make sure that
your permissions are set to Read/Write and are not limited in any way. On the drives, check the box at the bottom of the Get Info box, that says "ignore ownership on this volume".
If No. 5 might be the problem, try opening you Mac in Safe Mode and then closing down and opening your Mac in normal mode. See if that cleans out any conflicts that might be causing the problem.
