Error code 8058 is most likely a bad finder.plist file.


Start with this...


Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at startup), does the problem occur in Safe Mode? Could take 10 minutes or more.


~ tilde indicates your home folder

Apple hid the Users' Library folders...


Method 1:

From the Finder, select the Go menu at top of the screen, and choose Go to Folder.

In the window that opens, enter ~/Library/Preferences, and click Go.


delete the finder.plist file

Safe mode attempts to repair Disks & clears lots of caches & loads safe Drivers, & prevents loading of 3rd party extensions, so if Safe Mode works try again in regular boot.

Once I removed this, the copy operation went smoothly with no error
