I putting my iTunes music on passport from iTunes PC to iTunes Mac manually from a USB transferred music empty folder on desktop
Attempting to copy to the disk “]” failed. The required folder cannot be found, I try changing passport name(external drive) I got weird symbol try change again won't change
Mac mini, macOS 13.4
How is that Passport drive (external USB hard drive) formatted?
A pre-formatted drive would probably be using NTFS (PC version) or HFS+ (Mac version). Out of the box, macOS can read NTFS disks, but can't write to them. Out of the box, Windows can't make heads or tails of HFS+ disks at all. Both OSes can read and write exFAT, but you'd need to erase and reformat the disk (e.g., using Disk Utility) to get it into that format.

I just rebooted Mac computer before I tried any of your advice, error was gone so I didn't learn anything what just happen
I already have music on my passport and it is connected as a USB external all my music is on it but for some reason iTunes can't see the file or where it's at
A lot to process someone who doesn't know much about Mac computers or PCS
I'm not getting anywhere with google search transfer iTunes Music iTunes PC to iTunes Mac
