Hey guys!
new mac user here. I just bought a new 27" iMac. I transferred data from my external 1tb western digital my book HD to my mac then reformatted it into mac os extended journaled. I put a few of my important folders back on my Hd and now when I go to open them or move them to my desktop i get this error

The Finder can’t complete the operation because some data in “ ” can’t be read or written.
(Error code -36)

or

The operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -50)

any ideas on how to fix this and possibly save my data?

thanks for your help guys!
