So I'm trying to open a shared drive and the Finder just says, "Connection Failed." Fine. I try dismounting the drive, and I get this lovely gem:


The operation could not be completed.
An unexpected error occurred (error code -8072). Very helpful. I try Googling the cryptic message and don't get much help. (The first result is a page from Microsoft's web site with a completely different error code.) The shared drive is just fine, of course, since the machine is a few feet away from me. So what's the solution? Force quit the Finder and try again!

Ah, Macintosh love.
