Problem: I have an SD flash card (8 GB Kingston) and a MacBook Pro 13" (Late 2011 model). I also use external card reader time to time. This problem persisted on all the conditions. The error message was stating: The Finder can’t complete the operation because some data in “” can’t be read or written. (Error code -36) This was happening while copying Photos from my camera (cr2 files). It worked, however, in case of copying files up to 200 MB in total size of batch. It dropped this error message and did stop to copy files upon selecting of lots of RAW files. E.g. all of them and attempting to copy them from a flash drive. Solution: Problem occurred with building miniatures of the CR2 files. Those files are quite heavy photos (25+ MB) and building miniature did take some time. While building those miniatures on both MAC and SD card finder windows it did die. For me it was enough to change the view from icons to list. E.g.: This did solve it for me. Other solution (Suspect...

Default Mac OS X system behavior is to hide system and hidden unix files (usually starting with a . symbol, e.g.: .bash_history will be out of sight). This makes spotting/opening one of this files with Finder extremely difficult. you may use your terminal, typing command like "ls -a" that will show all of the files in that particular directory, including hidden and system one's. But sometimes it may become annoying to use terminal while using the GUI. So. To change this default behavior in finder you need to enter those commands in the terminal window: defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE And after this you need to restart all your Finder processes like so: killall Finder Comments?

    Maybe you're already know about how to connect to remote servers through Local network on your Mac, but how about SSH server connections?     Lets say you may open a terminal window and run "ssh username@server.com" it will ask you for a password and "Ta-da" we're in. But what about usability. If you're console geek, this is enough for you. As for the others let's talk about adding some GUI to it. Some time ago Google engineers released a package for Mac's to mount remote filesystems, using lots of methods, including SSH.     This software is called MacFuse. It connects remote filesystems to your Mac's finder. You will see it in your computer as a regular Mac's network drive.     MacFuse has developed to the point, where it's extremely easy to "make it work". This is the way:     1. Install MacFuse and SSHFS. at the time of writing this article version is  MacFUSE-2.0.3,2.dmg  and you can  dow...
