i got a external hard drive a while ago. it has worked fine.
yesterday i tried to add files to it and i keep getting an error.

The Finder cannot complete the operation because some data in “ file name” could not be read or written.
(error code -36).

i can still open the files on the external.
i can copy file from the external to my computer.

but i cant add or trash any files to the external.

and there is still over 600GB of memory left.


any ideas?
