Trying to consolidate Aperture/iPhoto libraries - so...he said naively...I'll just copy the bunch to an external drive and then do some import/export magic...voila...
BUT - I first tried to copy the 100GB+ file over our home gigabit ethernet...and it craps out with a "file is busy error -50" message.
OK - maybe copying something that big over ethernet is a problem waiting to happen. So I take one of my external drives and plug it into the iMac where my new 4TB drive is waiting to receive data and try dragging the file by hand.
Same error!! And the "half copied" file is now kinda greyed out and I can't delete it without restarting the computer first.
Ideas?? This has me baffled...
