I have run into a recurring problem when I try to copy files from my iMac to an external flash memory device. I create a folder of pictures to copy and use Get Info to make sure the folder size does not exceed the size of the flash memory.
However, when I try to copy the files over I get the error messages below
"The operation cant be completed because the disk is full."
or
"The item Picture 029.jpg cant be copied because there isnt enough free space."
Today I am trying to move to a 2GB SanDisk drive that Get Info reports the following:
Capacity: 1.98 GB
Available: 1.56 GB
Used: 418.8 MB on disk
The total size of the files I am trying to copy is 486.7 MB so there should be plenty of room.
I have searched the web but have found no solutions other than "Empty the Trash" which I did. I am relatively new to Macs so I assume there is something simple that I am missing here.
Any help is appreciated!
