[QUOTE="skater, post: 467480, member: 19158"] I've recently noticed that when I grab a large number of files to copy (such as from an SD card to my hard drive), OS X is only copying the first 85 files. I'm running Yosemite and have it updated. I searched around the net some, but I haven't found anyone else reporting this problem, which makes me think there's a setting somewhere causing it. Any suggestions on where to look? I go into the finder, select all files, then drag them to another finder window. The progress dialog pops up and copies 85 files, then it finishes. The odd thing to me is that there's no warning that it didn't copy all of the files I selected, and the only indication of a problem is that it didn't copy more than the 85 files. I can deselect the 85 files that were copied, hit it again, and it'll copy the next 85 without complaint. If I copy one directory, no problem, even with hundreds of files inside the directory. I assume copying 86 directories would result in getting only 85, but I haven't tried it. Kind of a weird quirk... of the type that's starting to drive me nuts with OS X. I'm starting to think Mountain Lion was the high point... [/QUOTE]
