external

On my G4 800MHZ Power PC I run OS 10.1.5 while running OS 9 in the background - I never upgraded my system out of FEAR - I publish 2 monthly magazines and have never been crazy enough to take the step. I have just encountered a HUGE PROBLEM because my superdrive has decided not to burn any...

I've googled for an answer on this and searched on the site but can't find what I'm doing wrong here. I've got a MacBook with OS X for personal use and a Dell laptop for work and a brand new HP flatscreen monitor. So I connected a Belkin KVM so that I can send both laptops to the monitor and...

Hi there, I've got 2 external Lacies. Whilst recording voiceover in Final Cut Pro 3 one of them 'died'. Hope it's not terminal? It's a d2 160 GB. 2 or 3 years old i guess - out of warranty I'm presuming. It's not making any noise at all and won't power up. All that happens is I get a flashing...

I'm trying to work out a dual-camera setup which would allow me to capture two video sources simultaneously (for instructional video). It seems to me that since the built-in iSight camera on my iMac is of good enough quality for my needs that an external one might be a good choice for the second...

Okay, so last year my ibook was on its last legs and to kill it off I dropped it on the screen (by accident of course!) and I was given a quote for a new screen that almost matched what i payed for it in the first place so naturally I turned it down and my mac has been sat doing nothing for...

PLEASE HELP! My Macbook (1.83 Ghz Intel COre Duo, Mac OSX 10.4.10) won't recognize or find my external LAcie Porshe dvd burner... Although I have used it many times since buying it 18 months ago. Suddenly, Toast doesn't seem to see it, neither does iDVD 6.0.3... The burn button doesn't...

Hi, I had lots of video files in an old FAT32 drive and I copied to a new one formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) in order to reformat the old one. Because of the limited file size in FAT32, all the big video files I had created directly onto the old drive, where converted in 3 files...

I built a box (Will post pics later) and I am putting 3 to 5 WD 500GB SATA HD's in it. Speed not an issue. 1 = Time Machine 2 = Time Machine Backup 3 = Files / Misc. 4 = Files / Misc. Backup 5 = ?????? or 1 = Time Machine 2 = Files / Misc. 3 = Files / Misc. Backup The drives...

Hey there, I have an external 60GB HD that I got out of my old laptop that im using in an external HD case that doesn't seem to want to mount anymore. I dont think I have dropped it and if I can recall (Haven't used it for about a month) the last time I used it was when I plugged it into my...

I hooked up my WD external hard drive to an OS9 machine a little while ago and now a few of the folders in the drive have little locks on them. Come to find out permissions have been screwed up. Going into the info and attempting to change the permissions doesn't work... disk utility does not...

I know this will sound very weird, but I cannot empty a LOCKED MUSIC file in my trash can, which only appears when my Western Digital external drive is connected. Holding down Option does not work either. If I eject my WD external hard drive, the trash can goes back to "empty." Does anyone...

Hi all: Just asked this of a tech, then realized I should have come here first. Many similar queries to this in the forum, but nothing quite duplicates my situation. So here goes... I have a WD Mybook Studio, 500gb which I normally hook up via Firewire or USB to my Intel Macbook, 10.4...

Well, I am new to this forum so I hope I am not asking something already addressed. Here is my problem. I have an Old Linotype-Hell scanner, works perfectly, and I need to be able to save tiff files on an external hard drive (Seagate) and transfer these files to my customer's Windows XP...

Hi Running a g4 powerbook on leopard. My hard drive is full and the majority of space is taken up with itunes and iphoto. I plan to run the libraries from external drives. I am about to work overseas for 5 months, and want to keep a copy of the music and photo libraries at home for...

My external has been acting weird lately like crashing and just today it started not letting me trash anything off it. So I investigated more into and fiquired out that when I bought it second hand I forgot to format it for Mac. It's formatted with MS-DOS File Systems (FAT32) all this time. Now...

Hi, So I screwed up. Or I'm too poor to do things right. I bought a Dell E178WFP, 17" 1440 x 900 @ 60 Hz, 32-bit color external flatscreen. It's not great. And I live in Egypt and can't take it back. I should have bought an Apple cinema display, but it would have been five or six...
