Finder cannot complete the operation... (Error code -36)

Hello,
I'm trying to share a file between my new iMac and my PowerBook via file sharing (Finder, Airport 802.11 n). Both computers are on 10.5.3. The iMac is a brand new one, so it's a fresh install. The PowerBook has a new harddrive and is a fresh install as well. Both are on the most current software.
Here's what happens: Both computers are visible in each respective Finder, but files can only be shared from the iMac towards the PowerBook, not vice versa. When trying to connect from the PowerBook to the iMac, it tries to connect but to no avail, then I receive an error message "Connection Failed".
Next thing I tried was to connect via Finder/Connect to Server and typing in the afp:// address (looked it up at System Preferences/Sharing/File Sharing). It again tries to connect, then I receive the error message: "The finder cannot complete the operation because some data in "afp://192.xxx.x.xxx" could not be read or written (Error code -36)".
Now I'm puzzled and don't know what to do. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.

Where can I find AFP I/O errors?
And by the way - after trying this for two days, it JUST worked! Not sure why or how or for how long, but this seems like massive bully.

i try to connect to a pc using connect to server of the finder, i type smb://IP-of-the-pc and got this error, so.. anyone any ideas?

Hi Holly!
I had a double-take on your message because I was 99% sure that your problem was related to digitally signed communications, but then you said no other Macs are having this issue.
This would lead me to believe the problem lies with the one Mac, however I suspect that digitally signed communications are still the cause. The reason is that I suspect your server also has File Services for Macintosh (SFM) enabled and that your other Macs are probably using that. By default if a user enters just "servername" in the Connect To Servers dialog then AFP will be used automatically. You're specifically trying to use CIFS (more commonly referred to as SMB on Macs).
Try this...
First, verify that your user still has the problem when using the connect string "smb://server/share" instead of using CIFS. If that doesn't work then...
Second, have your user trying entering "afp://servername" as the connect string. This will verify whether or not others are using AFP instead of SMB. Finally...
Have a look at this page on Microsoft's website. While it doesn't specifically address Macs, it does refer to SMB connections and digitally signed communications. This page also tells you about the policy on the server that needs to be disabled to allow Macs to connect via SMB.
Hope this helps! bill

"the finder cannot complete the operation because some data in [name of iMovie file] could not be read or written (Error Code 26)

Hi all,
I have an iMovie project in iMovie HD 6.0.3. (Mac OS 10.5.8)
It plays, but I cannot copy the file (including saving it to a flash drive). I get either a message
"the finder cannot complete the operation because some data in [name of
iMovie file] could not be read or written (Error Code 26)" or the
message "A project file is missing. The file [name of the QuickTime
movie inside the project.dv] couldn't be opened and is being skipped."
This happened suddenly, I was able to save a backup version numerous
times while working on the project.
I followed some of Karl Petersen's advise on apple discussions. I opened
the package contents, and everything seems to be there. The source file
(original QuickTime movie) is there and can be opened and played. I
replaced the current project file with the backup in the package
contents, but that did not change anything. I was able to export the
movie timeline into a new project as a single clip, but would like to be
able to copy the current project.
Thanks for any ideas..

Make sure all drives are formatted as "Mac OS Extended". (Journalling preferred, but not necessary).

Cannot move any files into trash to delete them. I get a Trash warning box saying "The Finder cannot complete the operation because some data in 'file name' could not be read or written.(Error code - 36)".Macbook has so much data it is almost not working

I have tried reseting to factory settings by removing battery and holding down the power switch for more than 5 sec but this does nothing.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated as I think with so much unwanted data on the desktop and other places the whole os will crash very soon.
Thanks, Rick

The hard drive may be dying anyway, or the directory damaged because it is so full. You should never let the hard drive get over 85% full.
A -36 error is a read/write error.
All you did with the power is reset the SMC. Does nothing to reset everything to factory settings.

Finder cannot complete the operation because some data in.....

Hello everyone.
I burned about 10 TDK DVDr's about a month ago. I didn't get any errors while burning them and put them directly into cd cases to prevent them from getting scratches or marks. I just took them out to copy the files back to my Macbook. As soon as i start to drag and drop the files, the dvd player starts reading the files, copies some of them, and about 20 seconds in to the copy it powers down and displays the following message. This is true for all 10 of the dvds i burned. It copies to my hard drive for about half a minute...and then the drive powers down.
"Finder cannot complete the operation because some data in (NAME OF CD) could not be read or written (Error Code-36)."
Does anybody have any suggestions? I'd hate to think that all of the dvds are coasters now because i have data on them.

hi easeupjosh,
did you ever get help with your DVD-Rs?
I am having the same problem and was wondering if there's someway I can salvage the data on my DVDs?
thanks

External HD issue. Finder cannot complete the operation because some data..

Last night I had a drive throw the error "finder cannot complete the operation because some data in "<file>" could not be read or written. Error code-36". I thought it was a bad disk. Then tonight I plugged in a flash drive, formatted it on the machine and now I am getting the same error on that disk as well. Any thoughts???

Yes, you can have bad blocks or other physical damage on a usb drive, the same as a firewire, or eSATA. Just because you can reformat the drive, doesn't mean the drive is okay. You reformat, yet the problem recurs. That is a sign of a bad drive. If it were an OS issue then the reformat should fix it.
You might want to check the drives with a utility from Prosoft called DriveGenius It's the "Swiss Army Knife" of utilities, including the ability to repartition "on the fly" (A little scary for my tastes). But Prosoft is a trusted software manufacturer. Downloaded the trial (it has more bells & whistles than you can believe) But the trial will run all hardware tests without the repair feature, and give you a report.
Also, you can download and use Applejack for repair.

The Finder cannot complete the operation? Backup stops midway

Very often in OSX when I'm copying a disk or large number of files (backing up) I get this message:
"The Finder cannot complete the operation because (x) could not be read or written. (Error code -36)"
When I hit OK, the backup stops at that point.
I'll delete the offending file and sometimes that works, but many times the same thing will happen with a different file again.
Why is this happening and what can I do to stop it?

a great response. I've been having the same problem . Using copy for Backup because it seemed easier than learning a backup program, and hard disks are so big, now. The bigger question is what to do about broken files. In my case, I think the problem was interaction between OS 10.4.11 and Itunes 6.0.1 which I hadn't upgraded to 6.0.5, and that's all my hardware can do. I've rolled back to 10.4.10, and reinstalled Ipod software and Itunes 6.0.5 -not sure if the problem is solved. Wanted to backup 1st before a major test.
But adding podcasts to Ipod leads to hang up, force quit, hang up, turn off power. *So what to do about files that stop copy* (especially when they seem to be hidden, (aside from using Carbon Copy Cloner)
i.e. spotlight can't find them (i.e. 0F54AE5Dd01),
or old versions don't seem to help (Abstract.dplmageCache).
are they a problem? I've deleted some, but this abstract file seems to freeze shutdown when it's not there. and I can't delete what I can't find.

Finder cannot complete the operation... Error -36

OK, I have read google trying to find the cause of this, but every article I read relates to someone trying to copy from/to an external file system, SMB share or other NAS device...
I am just trying to copy my large backup files from one of the sata disks in my macpro to a USB disk attached to my timecapsule. It falls over on the same couple of files each time. So, I tried copying these files to my Lacie FW800, directly plugged in that back of the mac... same... and then i tried copying onto another drive in the same Mac... same problem...
SMART status looks good, no directory structure issues. Have deleted the problem files. Now running techtool deluxe and running a full surface scan to see if I've found some bad blocks on my disk (I have recently been ripping my DVD collection, so It's likely I could have been writing to virgin territory on the disk).
Is error -36 a good time to go and buy another disk, or is it not uncommon to stumble over some bad blocks now and again? The disk is a WD Cav 600Gb drive I purchased only in January 09.
Steve

No corruption in the filesystem - not that Techtool, or DU could find. Did a full surface scan, which showed up 100 or so bad blocks... so I have reformatted with zeros, and done another surface scan, and this time no bad blocks... they may always have been there as when I installed the disk I was in a hurry and didn't do a full (zeros) format, and until recently this disk has only been about 20% full.
I don't think the file types have anything to do with it - they are just 600Mb or so sized files - some are large zip files, others dmg's... mainly photograph archives relating to my day job.

WINRM error : The WinRM client cannot complete the operation within the time spe cified

Hi,
Any error or warning for the operation manager log under event viewer?
Based on my research,
Possible Causes for this issue:
The host is unreachable due to incorrect name resolution, network outage, or
host outage
A network or host-based firewall is blocking TCP port 1270 connectivity to the target host
Resolutions
Verify that Management Server can ping the agent host by Fully-Qualified

Verify that no network firewalls or host firewall is blocking TCP port 1270

Hi Lynn,
Thanks for your analyst and reply, I run the command as you suggested and checked accordingly to Task Manager, but seems none of them indicates a firewall or anti-virus.

Word cannot complete the operation because too many files are open

Hello,
I'm working on a 60 pg. document, and when I hit 'save', I get this annoying msg.:
"word cannot complete the operation because too many files are open." I have no other files open, and I am unable to continue to work, because I cannot save - can anyone help? Thanks!

Hello Kristina,
Have you been able to save the file at all?
More than anything, it seems to be a bug when you're trying to save to a server. There's more on the problem here. So what you can also try is simply saving the file to your desktop, or somewhere on your Mac's hard drive. That way you're saving the file locally instead of to a server. If that works, you've at least saved the file and can continue on. Otherwise, read on.
If you can't do it from Word, then at least save your changes from another application. Open TextEdit. You should get a blank file on the desktop. Make sure it's set as a rich text file. You'll know just be looking at it. If you see a ruler and other buttons at the top of the TextEdit document window, it's rich text. If not, make it rich text by pressing CommandShiftT.
Copy and paste your entire Word text into the TextEdit window. Save the TextEdit document to the desktop. Now that you've at least gotten your work saved, you can try some other things.
If you're not trying to work on the file from, or save it to a remote server, then don't worry about the first workaround. It doesn't apply. Number two was poorly worded by John. He seems to assume everyone knows what RH is. I had to look it up. It means Remote Home folder. So open the Word preferences and click on FIle Locations. Highlight the first choice, Documents, and click on the Modify button. Choose any location you want on your Mac's hard drive. Click "Choose" and close the preferences. Can you now save the document to the folder you defined as the default save location?
Spotlight is that little magnifying glass in the upper right corner of your screen by the time/date. There are a few methods to disable Spotlight. What John is saying that if the Mac is spending a lot of time indexing your drives at the same time you're trying to save your Word document, the intense processing time to index may be keeping Word from saving.
If you've managed to at least save your file as a rich text TextEdit document, then shut all of your applications down and restart your Mac. Launch Word and open the TextEdit file. You may lose some formating if you've done tables or other things TextEdit can't save in Word's original form.

After a further restart the computer returned to logon.
I would appreciate advice on how to proceed in order to complete installation of this update.
Thank you.

I read elsewhere that using the Advanced Options/Automatic Repair procedure could fix the installation.
I tried this, it did not work, and now the situation is worse. The error report has changed to,
The boot config data for your PC is missing or contains errors
File : \EFI\Microsoft\Boot\BCD
Error code : 0xc000000f
The "Press F8 for Startup Settings" option no longer appears, and I can no longer get back to the log in screen and use the computer.
I still have Troubleshoot options,
1. Refresh your PC
2. Reset your PC
3. Recovery Manager (leads to USB based HP Recovery Manager
after about 110sec of blue screen)
4. Advanced Options
4. Advanced Options leads to,
1. System Restore
2. System Image Recovery
3. Automatic Repair
4. Command Prompt
5. UEFI Firmware Settings
Every option that I have tried has failed. I do no appear to have a restore point set (though I thought that I did) so I cannot restore to an earlier date.
F9 Boot Device Option/Boot Manager shows.
1. OS boot Manager
2. USB Hard Drive (UEFI)
3. Boot From EFI File
4. Notebook Hard Drive
5. USB Hard Drive
3. Boot from EFI File leads to a three options the first of which is,
NO VOLUME LABEL, [Acpi(PNPxxxx, 0)/Pci(yyyy)/Usb(zz, 0)/HD(Part1, Sig00000000)]
and thus eg.(there are other folders), EFI\Boot\en-gb\bootx64.efi.mui for the USB Recovery Drive which leads back to USB Drive Recovery Manager.
There are also two other options, one for the main SSD that will no longer boot, and the other for the computers second drive (the original HDD) that has an earlier version of a booting drive C: (I cloned from the HDD -> SSD and use the HDD as a backup drive, however I left the original partitions in place).
If I try to boot from the earlier data on the HDD (I did not really expect this to work completely) I get to the login screen, and an earlier password initially appears to be accepted, I get a brief Welcome, and then "The password is incorrect. Try again."
I have a recent file backup and am figuring out a way to make a current file backup.
I then plan to attempt a minimized image recovery or system recovery, unless I find a way to return to the login screen.
Any suggestions ?
Thank you.

HT201210 Iphone 6 can't complete the restore error code (56)

I'm getting this msg :
The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (56).
after I try all the steps in apple site to fix it but it still the same.
after searching I found it stop in the last. Failed when trying to send the baseband file.
any idea how to pass or fix this baseband file ?
Thanks.

The original post referred to a jailbroken phone, and the error is because the phone is jailbroken and probably cannot be fixed. As I've never seen that error on a phone that was not jailbroken, can I assume that yours is jailbroken also?

Finder Cannot Complete Operation While Trying to Trash Files

When I try to trash files, I receive the following error message, "The Finder cannot complete the operation because some data in (file name trying to trash) could not be read or written. (Error Code - 36)."
Any help appreciated - Thanks

Hi oneltwots, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Well, in pure Apple File System talk... -36 ioErr I/O error (bummers)
Not very helpful, but generally means a Drive quit being Readable or Writable since starting the operation...
