[QUOTE="Skitten, post: 1556918, member: 317188"] I always use the eject function when I take things out. However, if I close the Mac to take it into another room or whatever, I tend to leave the stick / card in, so wonder if that could cause it to think the device was removed incorrectly? I'm lucky enough to live somewhere with no real winter (it was 18c today, which is unusually cold for this time of year) & our floors are tile, so would be surprised if it's static. i used to be prone to it when I lived in the UK, but haven't had any shocks since we relocated. I did read something on another thread about FAT32 formatted items not liking the transfer of files above 4GB(?) & the missing data is pretty much all TV series I've moved over from my hard drive in bulk, so would definitely be over that limit. However, I checked the files had been properly copied (including playing random samples in Quicktime) before I deleted the originals from the Mac. I might try sending things over in smaller batches to see if it makes a difference. [/QUOTE]
