Is my drive saying good bye, please help.....project due

I have 5 Lacie BDextreme 500 externals daisy chained togather. Yesterday number three in line decided to not show up on my desktop and stayed in its blue blinking state. I restarted and everything booted fine.
Today, same problem. So I restarted and no drive again, the Lacie just stayed in a blue blinking state. I shut down and plugged into the front FW400 and also changed its power cord adaptor and it showed up fine.
I am now not working out of total fear and have a huge project due.
My plan is to order a G-Tech 1TB raid and do a transfer friday. I am not thrilled with Lacie of recent and think this may be a sign.
Any advice? Any thoughts on the G-Tech raid 0.
Im waiting for the Pro but its not available.

Michele,
I don't know what to tell you about the G-raids, I've never used them myself. If you need to get your drive back wher your mac will see it again, try a program called "Disk Warrior". I use it to pull my 3-Lacie 500's back from the edge of death once every couple of months. It's not a permanate fix, but it'll let you get your data off so you can zero out the drive.

  • PLEASE HELP PROJECT DUE IN TOMMORROW

    Hi, I am really stuck and have a project to hand in tommorow,
    I created a web site in dmx and linked it to the following access
    database
    ID, SEE
    where see is a hyperlink in a access db coloum to a page of a
    word document. However when I search for a cretain ID the link in
    the see coloum is not clickable as a hyperlink. Does any one know
    where I am going wrong?

    krazykris,
    primalx is right, you are probably outputting the hyperlink
    and just outputting it wont make it "clickable" you need to code it
    as a link like primalx said, except if you want it to look like a
    link you need to replace the ID to SEE (you should really try
    naming you columns differently ID is pretty vague try something
    like linkID and SEE is a common word with no correlation to you
    database try pageLink or something...
    <cfquery datasource="whatever" name="listings">
    select ID, SEE
    From yourdb
    </cfquery>
    <cfoutput query="listings">
    <cfif SEE neq "">
    <a href="#URLENCODEDFORMAT(SEE)#">#ID#</a>
    <cfelse>
    #SEE#
    </cfif>

    Hi Naren,
    When I double-click on this data type from the ABAP editor, it takes me to the definition screen.I wish I could put screenshots in this message but I don't know how. Anyway, the definition says it is a "table" type. There are four tabs underneath - Attributes, Line Types, Initialization, and Access Key. Under "Line Type," the properties are as follows:
    Predefined Type
      Data Type: STRING
      No. of Characters: 0

    Thank you in advance for your help.

  • Say good-bye to pirated computer games. Reasons for you to buy generic games!

    Found this article!
    It is totally true. So many benefits of generic games!!
    Please check its source here for more picture reference:
    http://happylifegreen.blogspot.tw/2015/01/say-good-bye-to-pirated-computer-games.html
    IT IS CHEAPER
    One of major reasons for most people installing pirated games is because they want to save money. However, they are wrong! If they play it wisely, purchasing generic games can be much cheaper!
    Thanks to this digital era; nowadays you can buy and download almost all games from internet. There are several major gaming platforms. Biggest ones are Steam, Uplay, and Origin.
    Steam is the biggest digital platform which houses thousands of games in more than 237 countries and in 21 different languages. Uplay started with Ubisoft games like Assassin’s Creed series and now expands to a much wider range of games. Origin, on the other hand, is (currently) purely for EA games.
    You can literally find so many game discounts EVERYDAY on these game platforms. Moreover, every now and then, they have big sales as well. For example, last month Steam had its holiday big sales which had more than 5554 games on sale!
    It is common to see many, many 90% off, 75% off, 60% off… You need to be very self-constrained before you put too many games in your Shopping Cart! Haha!
    Another good thing is that games in digital format do drop in prices.
    In Steam, it is common that after a couple of months of its launch, a game will start to have discount, and then it will drop in prices. For example, when Thief was first launched in 2014, the price was US$59.99. But if you check it on Steam, its price now already dropped to US$29.99.
    If you go to a retail shop and want to buy a box version of this game, the price will probably still be close to US$59.99.
    On the other hand, if you buy pirated games. It could cost more.
    Pirated games usually charges by number of DVDs, and one DVD costs around US$3.
    Because of nice visual graphic, it is common to see games exceed 15GB—which will requires roughly 3 DVDs or more. One DVD cost $3; in another word, you need to pay $9 for one game.
    Some games, for example, The Evil Within, requires more than 38.6GB of disk space. It will need, I’m not sure, maybe more than 8 DVDs? Which means US$24??
    What I usually do is to add games in Wish List. When the game is on sales, Steam will send me email, and I will be able to track if I am satisfied with the discount percentage or not. Easy!
    IT IS SAFE WITH NO VIRUS
    This is easy. No one will argue that almost all, if not all, pirated games (or software) have malware hidden inside! There is no free meal. If you want to save money, you need to trade in something else.
    I am not sure how those virus will do to me, but I don’t want it secretly downloading some funny stuff from internet, and definitely I don’t want my credit card or other personal info be stolen!
    YOU CAN CLOUD-SYNC GAME PROGRESS
    Many games support cloud sync, meaning that you can go to any computer and start a game from where it left.
    It is quite convenient. I have two laptops for home and office. When I go to a business trip, I can still continue my games from my work laptop.
    In Steam, if you see a small cloud icon in front of games, it mean that the game supports cloud sync. The function works quite well!
    ENJOY TEAM WORK AND DLC
    If you play pirated Battlefield 4 or Titanfall (and many others), say good-bye to team mode~
    Quite a number of games—especially EA games— require you to connect to game server via internet in order to play in multiplayer mode.
    If you want to play with friends or want to challenge other games, buy generic games!
    Many games have DLC packs which allow you to equip with different weapons, outfit, or special items. Sometime, pre-purchased games give you these for free.
    Well, no such benefits in pirated versions.
    EASY INSTALL AND UPDATE
    How to install a game? You just need to click a “DOWNLOAD” button and then worry free. After installed, the game will update automatically; so you will always have the latest version of the game.
    HAVE A SENSE OF FULFILLMENT
    Currently I have more than 140 games in Steam and many others in Uplay and Origin. I have quite a sense of fulfillment to see all those game icons in one place.
    GAMES WILL NEVER LOST
    Years ago when there is no those digital platforms, you need to keep your game DVDs (or VCDs) well. Once lost, then bye-bye to the game. The same applies to pirated games that cannot comply with game platform.
    If you own generic games, you will never lose them! You can change as many computers as you like; you can un-install games; you can buy-it-and-forget-it; you can keep games for generation for your grand-children. Those games will always be there waiting for you.
    Once you want to put your hands on the games again, you just need to click “DOWNLOAD” button, and the game will alive once again!

    So long, and thanks for contributing, in your way.

    After the restore did the phone work properly for a while? Say, a day or so?
    If so it is possible you have an app that doesn't let go of memory properly. I reboot my iPhone ( hold sleep/wake and hole till you see the apple logo) every few days. This resets the memory. The iPhone OS has doesn't seem to mange memory very well yet. So a reboot will help with that. I have had my phone almost slow to a stop before I started rebooting. Always reboot after installing a new app. Also do you close all pages in Safari when you are done? This is a good practice. Safari will run in the background and use processor time and drain your battery quicker. Create a new blank page then close all others when you are done browsing for a while. I have also found that certain web site that have animated images like weather maps will turn the phone into molasses. As soon as i close that page it gets faster.
    If all of the above have no effect then as Tamara said it is time for a trip to the Genius bar.
    Good luck

    When you complete your current contract, Verizon has options on which incentives you would like to take.
    You can sign a new 2 yr service contract by purchasing a new phone at a considerable discount(~$400+).
    You can also choose to purchase a new smartphone on Edge at full retail cost for which Verizon will give you either a 37.5% or a 62.5% discount(depending on your data allowance) on your monthly line access fee when on the More Everything plan.
    If you choose to simply continue using your current phone on the More Everything plan, Verizon ALSO offers the same 37.5%/62.5% discount(depending on your data allowance) on your monthly line access fee.
    Of course, as with anything else, there are some which always want more of a discount than what is offered.
    Hopefully, after you get used to the rates with your new provider, you won't then want MORE which they likely won't be willing to give you.
    Good luck with the new provider.

  • I can't use my payment details to buy a game i have the correct amount in my account everytime i put security code in it says payment declined please help?

    I can't use payment details to buy a game from app store i have the correct amount in my account but everytime i put my security code in it says payment declined. please help

    it's a secured credit card
    I checked with my bank to see what such a beast could be. So you have an account in the bank that serves as collateral for the secured credit card and the line of credit available on the card is equal to the amount on deposit in the collateral bank account?
    So the issue is between the iTunes payment system and your bank. It might be best to see what the bank has as a record of your attempt to make the purchase. I doubt any fellow users here can offer much insight as too why the system won't accept your payment method on this attempted purchase.

    Adobe has a knowledgebase article on this.
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/905/cpsid_90508.html
    Acrobat family
    Adobe Reader plug-in and Acrobat plug-in are not compatible with the Safari 5.1 browser, which will ship with Mac OS X 10.7 and for 10.6 in July 2011. Adobe Reader and Acrobat will continue to work as standalone applications on Mac OS X 10.7 and 10.6, and will render PDF documents outside of the browser. In addition, Safari 5.1 renders PDF documents natively. However, the Adobe Reader and Acrobat plug-ins will not function as expected in LiveCycle and Acrobat workflows that require either plug-in to render PDF documents in Safari 5.1.
    Recommendation to Customers/Users:
    For Acrobat customers who utilize functionality like forms, digital signatures, portfolios, guides, 3D, extended PDFs and rights management, and who require the Acrobat plug-in to render PDF documents in the Safari browser, Adobe recommends that you continue to use Safari 5.0.x and Mac OS X 10.6. We will provide updates as we continue to investigate this issue.

  • I purchased a film on iTunes and sync to Apple TV (1) and the film will not play say not authorised please help?

    I purchased a film on iTunes and sync to Apple TV (1) and the film will not play say not authorised please help?

    This problem seems to have started around October 28, it appears to affect content purchased only on other devices but played on the Apple TV 1.
    There have been other workarounds suggested from time to time, but I have found the simplest solution is to purchase something on the Apple TV 1 directly (There may be free content in some locations and this appears to work just as well).
    Once the content has been purchased, it will not only play as normal, but will also allow all other content purchased on other devices after October 28 to play as well.
    Some have reported that it's necessary to restart the Apple TV before and/or after purchase, but I found it worked without.
