What is apple error code -8003?

I was trying to make a second backup of my iMac by dragging all the folders (Users, Applicaitons, System, Library, etc.) to an external hard drive (I also use Time Machine to back up to a different external drive), when I got a message saying that the operation was halted because of error code -8003.  I haven't had this problem before.  What is it and what do I do to enable me to do the backup?  Thank you.

  Now, you need to work on your shrot-term memory problem.

    What is an error code -8003 ?  I installed AutoCAD for Mac today and Autodesk recommended I use this thing called Akamai Netsession to hasten the download.  Now I can't empty my trash. 
    Oh, and I can't seem to make the Akamai go away.  It says its uninstalled, yet shows up on every restart.
    Any help is appreciated.

    I had the same problem yesterday with an application file that was deleted after installation of an update. I used "Put Back" to move it back to its original location, then used "Show Package Contents" to delete/empty trash for small groups of files at a time. I suppose the application file itself may have been too large to empty at one time. I hope this helps.

  • HT2674 Anyone know what a error code -8003 means??

    And furthermore, anyone know why it is so difficult to get definitions of error codes on the Apple website? Reformatting a 16GB Sandisk flash drive. Drive formats from FAT32 to OSX Extended (journaled). Items initially deleted from the drive still show up in the trash, attempting to empty the trash gives error code -8003. Can't seem to get around it. Running 10.6.8.
