    copied!<p>I am trying to copy an mp3 file from my Resources folder to a folder inside "Documents" folder of the app. On the simulator this works fine. But when I run it on a device, copying the files gives me this error</p> <pre><code>Operation could not be completed. (Cocoa error 513.) </code></pre> <p>The source and destinations paths are fine but I still cannot copy the file. Any ideas? Where can I find out what the cocoa error code 513 means?</p> <p>Thanks.</p> <p>Here's the relevant source code</p> <pre><code> NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES); NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0]; NSString *folderPath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"Files"]; NSString *insPath = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@.mp3", fileName]; NSString *srcPath = [[[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath] stringByAppendingPathComponent:insPath]; NSString *destPath = [folderPath stringByAppendingPathComponent:insPath]; NSLog(@"Src: %@, Dest: %@", srcPath, destPath); NSError *err; [fileManager moveItemAtPath:srcPath toPath:destPath error:&amp;err]; NSLog(@"Err desc-%@", [err localizedDescription]); NSLog(@"Err reason-%@", [err localizedFailureReason]); </code></pre> <p>Before making a call to moveItemAtPath, I am also creating the directory "Files" and it returns a YES.</p> <p>Here's the log results</p> <pre><code>Src: /var/mobile/Applications/512D7565-7EF7-4C13-A015-19EEC3F3B465/MyApp.app/MyFile.mp3, Dest: /var/mobile/Applications/512D7565-7EF7-4C13-A015-19EEC3F3B465/Documents/Files/MyFile.mp3 Err desc-Operation could not be completed. (Cocoa error 513.) Err reason-(null) </code></pre> <p><strong>A question</strong></p> <p>Is there a limit to the file size when copying data from resources to Documents folder? The file I am trying to copy is about 5MB. Could that be a reason?</p>
