Can't transfer files from External Hard Drive
I use a Mac Pro (mid 2012); run Mac OS X 10.11.6 El Capitán. My Mac Pro came with a (one) 1 TB Hard Disk. I have 826 GB "free space"of 999 GB in my Mac Pro. I also have a Mac Companion external Hard Drive with 3 TB.
I usually copy most of my files and folders to my Mac Companion. It is full. I tried to copy files and folders from my Mac Companion, to my Mac Pro but I got the following alert: "The item "mac apps" can't be copied because there isn't enough free space. In my Mac Pro I have 826 GB of free space; why can't I copy files and folders from my external HD Mac Companion? |

Try running Disk Utility, then make a new attempt to transfer the files.

Sometimes a restart solves such problem. But also you are at at point where you should consider a larger external hard drive.

AC isn't trying to move files to an external HD: he is attempting to me them from an external drive to the HD that is inside his mac Pro that has 826mb of available space.

I know, but he says his external is full. If he had a larger external he could free up some space on his crowded startup drive. He is right at the cusp of overload.
