Not able to copy data to External Drive

ok so I did do a search on this problem, but i started a new thread b/c I think i may be having a slightly different issue...please hear me out..
I have a Macbook, running Mac OS X Tiger (version 10.4.11). I have had a 500 GB external HD (MyBook) hooked up to it (via USB) for the past 4 months or so, never really had any issues, was always able to transfer files, no problem.
However, today i suddenly ran into some serious problems.  I tried to transfer some pictures to the external drive and after copying 200 or so files it gave me an error, said a specific file could not be transferred (specifically it said "the Finder could not complete the operation because some data in "IMG_3435.JPG" could not be read or written. Error Code - 36 "). At first I thought maybe that specific file was corrupted or something but i checked it out and it looked fine. So I then I tried transferring another folder of pictures, and then I got the same error right away (after transferring 3 files), for a different file.  And now i'm at the point where I can't transfer ANY files to my external HD anymore! (T_T). And it's weird, when i transfer folders, it will transfer the folder itself but not the files. Strange..
I'm so confused because it was all working fine before for months, and now, it all of the sudden doesn want to copy files to the external drive. (?)
my question is, what is the problem here? What are my options for solving this? is it my external drive, or is something wrong with my MacBook? Space is not an issue here, as there is plenty of space on external drive for the files to be copied. And I NEED to transfer files from my Macbook to an external drive because my MacBook HD is going to fill up any day now (currently have 3.5 GB free on a 74 GB HD...my macbook is about 2 years old).
Oh and i should mention, i just checked and the formatting for the external HD (the Mybook) is MS-DOS FAT 32. It currently has about 350 GB free. In another thread about this problem w/ transferring files, someone mentioned external hd's with MS DOS FAT 32 not being ideal for use with Macs, and recommended reformatting it. I just not sure if I should do this right away though, because my husband uses the external drive as well to backup stuff from his PC (so it's not being used exclusively for Macs). However if this is really the only solution then I'll just go out and buy another one to use exclusively for my MacBook and reformat it...
thanks in advance for any tips/suggestions!!

Error -36 = I/O error
I have this similar issue before with my external HD. The worst case is that suddenly my external HD would not connect at all. Mac OS does not recognize the device. I end up reformatting the whole HD to Mac format.
I guess the problem is that Mac is having problem reading and writing to a windows formatted drive. I have a few thumb drive that will only work on windows pc but not Mac. Couldn't reformatting it under Mac either. Weird...

    How did you copy files to the external drive, and what files did you copy? Did you drag and drop in the Finder? Use a clone utility? What files did not successfully copy?
    If you reformatted the drive as part of your install, then you won't be able to recover any files from the drive. Reverting back to (reinstalling) 10.4 will not help you.
    Do you have a complete-drive backup of your old system?

  • In P6 version7 not able to copy project with the baseline.

    Hi,
    In P6 version 7 it is not able to copy project with the baseline. It copies only the schedule.
    Please help.
    regards,
    Baber.

    Tried the solution from another thread but did not work completely (as warned) - the workaround didn't quite work for me either:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1398462?start=0&tstart=0
    Ended up taking a backup, did a fresh install, created the account as the first one so that it gets the same UID as the other Mac (on which my account was the first) and restored my data - was painful but finally on track.

  • PSE 8 - View items copied to an external drive?

    I have copied - not moved photos (JPG) to an external drive. Does PSE 8 have a facility like Microsoft Explorer where clicking on 'My Computer', selecting external drive (Drive E) and then viewing and working on the relevant folder containing the copied PSE 8 items (jpgs)?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks. Shoopa

      You need to import the contents of the folder on the external hard disk drive.
    File à Get Photos and Videos à From Files & Folders
    Navigate to the folder where you copied your jpegs then press Ctrl+A to select all and click the get media button.
    Once you have one folder from the external hdd being managed by elements it will be possible to click on the plus symbol corresponding to the hdd drive letter to expand the tree in folder location view. You can then right click on any other folder and choose “Add Unmanaged Files to Catalog”

  • My USB ports will not recognize any devices, iPhone or external drives. Keyboard and printer work, any suggestions?

    My USB ports will not recognize any devices, iPhone or external drives. Keyboard and printer work, any suggestions?

    I'd start by looking in system profiler.
    the blue Apple icon > About this Mac > More info...
    goto the hardware section. Scroll down and click on  USB
    See what happens when you have the device plugged in & not plugged in.
    Move keyboard & mouse around to verify that ports work. Plug device in a port that worked with keyboar or mouse.  Keyboard usb ports are rather low power.
    Perhaps device is taking too much power.  Are devices power or unpowered?  Try connecting devices to a usb hub.

  • Not able to see data in Pivot table

    Hi,
    I have a issue with pivot table i have a column which displays values 0 and 1 and another column called month when i am placing this month column as a section and values column as a measure i am not seeing any values means i can see the month as header but instead showing 0 or 1 its showing blank columns. previously i created similar kind of table it worked but at that time values column data type is number this time its char. can anybody help me out how i can see the data in the pivot table. i already tried converting this column to number but still i am not able to see data in that values column.
    Thanks

    Hi copter,
    Place the month column in rows and value column in measure section and check if results are coming.If still it doesnt come i suppose you dint apply aggregation rules to value column.In pivot view click values column and aggregate by /select min or max or either server complex and check your results.
    (I suppose your aggregation rules is default)....Correct this one and you can place it in sections as per your requirement.
    Cheers,

  • Not able to see data in 0FIGL_V30 & 0FIGL_V31

    Hi,
    I've activated / installed standard business content for EpH3 i.e Mutltiprovider 0FIGL_M30 and entire data flow which includes reports and virtual providers 0FIGL_V30 & 0FIGL_V31.
    I'm able to see data in cubes where above virtual providers read data from. here is the link from help.sap.com
    http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_03/helpdata/EN/6b/fdc62d9e0b444cb14b7f424d9f9cb7/frameset.htm
    Issue is i'm not able to see data in Virtual providers 0FIGL_V30 & 0FIGL_V31 and hence in reports.
    Can anyone advice please. thanks
    SD

    Hi All,
    Yes I've checked data in underlying cubes.
    Mulitprovider is fine.
    I've added Master Data for both 0GL_ACCTP  and 0ACCESSTP
    RFC connection is fine.
    No DTP & Transformation since this is Virtual Provider based on Functional Module.
    However when I debug FM for 0FIGL_V30 & 0FIGL_V31 - I see no data and thought there might be master data issue b/w 0GL_ACCOUNT & 0GLACCEXT but MD is fine.
    It just not pulling data.
    Is there some setting I'm missing?
    FM's used for Virtual Providers are
    0FIGL_V30  - RS_BCT_FIGL_SREP_DATA_GET_V30
    0FIGL_V31 - RS_BCT_FIGL_SREP_DATA_GET_V31

    Hi Rashid,
    When you are using the BW conenction in Xcelsius you will not see any data in the spreadsheet at design time or at preview time.
    To see the data you need to go SAP > Publish, then SAP > Launch to test the dashboard in the NetWeaver Portal as that is the only place where the data can be viewed.

  • Not able pass the data from component to other component.

    Hello All
    I am not able pass the data from component to other component.
    I have done like this.
    1 Main Component (Parent component ) having below  two child components.Embeded as used components.
    2)     Search Component  and Details Component

FYI : I kept the debugging point Structure is having data , I had set static attributes table to node instance.

    Hi,
    When you use input Ext. check that the parent component should not be used as used component in child component.
    Only in the parent component the child components should be used as used components and the usage has to be created for the
    Child Components and the binding of the Node should be done from comp. controller of parent component to child node
    by which you will be able to see double arrow against the node.This should work
