Another question re:daisychaining lacie, canon, g5

I read the post from a few days ago about problems capturing while a lacie is plugged in at the same time that a Canon camcorder is plugged in and I have encountered the same problem (I am using FCE). I also read how someone said they have dealt with it, i.e., capturing to the internal, restarting, then moving the clips to the LaCie. I have done this (prior to reading this, not as a result of reading it), but encountered a problem. I lost everything.
I moved the captured clips to my LaCie--or actually, a copy of the clips was made when I dragged and dropped. I then went back and moved the "original" clips to the trash and emptied the trash. When I went to use the copied clips on the LaCie, they appeared to be there, but all the data was gone. In other words, I couldn't use them in the sequence I had begun. I had to go back and 'capture project' to get them all back. Major bummer.
So here's my question. When "moving" captured clips, render files, etc. from the internal drive to my LaCie, they don't appear to be truly moving, just copying. Is there a way to move the original files so that I'm not having to move anything into the trash? I've been working on an opera on the internal drive and now have run out of space halfway thru rendering (I so knew this was coming!). I've "moved" (copied) all the captured clips and render files to my LaCie and subsequently dragged the "originals" to the trash in an effort to free up space. I am now petrified to empty my trash. I'm scared that my two-hour opera that took six hours to capture and another week to put together will be lost completely. Can anybody help???
Another question: is there another brand of external hard drive that is compatible with my Canon GL2? I'd so love to just be able to capture right to the external...
Thanks!!!

Hi Heather.
I don't know what happened to your clips but it is certainly not normal!
When you drag and drop to your LaCie you are making a perfect byte for byte copy of your originals. They are identical.
There is no way you can "move" your originals to another HD and have nothing left to trash.
What I suggest is do a little test - capture five minutes of video and copy it across. Delete the original files and try a few minutes of editing - a few cuts, several transitions and effects to check that everything is OK.

TS4124 Hi, do you know how can I upload inelegible songs from itunes to Icloud. They are songs added from original CDs. Another question would be how can I transfer all the music I have in my Ipod Classic to my Itunes or ICloud as I want to back it up.

Depends on why it's ineligible. If it's under 96 Kpbs, try right-clicking on the file and choosing Create AAC Version. (If you don't see this option, go to iTunes>Preferences, click "Import Settings..." then choose "Import Using: AAC Encoder" and "Setting: iTunes Plus".) Then rescan your library to see if this version will add to iTunes Match. Or, after changing your import setting, just re-import the song to your iTunes library.
If the song is over 200 MB you would have to reduce it's size to make it eligible.

Thanks all for the great advice. Another question. If I use Entourage on my desktop Mac to access an email address I use on there, is it possible to be able to access my email on that same email address on my iPad either with or without Entourage?

If I use Entourage on my Mac desktop to access my mail using an email address I have on there, is it possible to access my emails on that same email address on my iPad, either with or without using Entourage. Is there an Entourage app, or something I could use? Thanks...

Simply add the email account to Mail, no need for Entourage.
One word of warning, though, iPads tend to become community property (meaning anyone who uses your iPad can access your email). That is why I have zero email accounts on my iPad.
I use Entourage on my desktop as well, so going back and forth between Entourage and Mail (whether on your iPad or iPhone) is no problem.

Question for Mike - LaCie FireWire & iDVD5

Mike - Can you help please ? John Beatty suggested I post this to you :
I have just bought a LaCie Double Layer bus-powered Firewire DVD. It is an NEC DVD+-RW ND-6550A device. The drive came with Toast 6 Titanium, which is now installed.
I also have an internal Matshita DVD reader/ CD writer as part of the original G4 setup.
When I attempt to burn a project in iDVD5.0.1, the internal drive opens up and I get a message telling me to insert a DVD, even though this is not a DVD writer. I've tried Control-clicking the Burn icon, but nothing different happens. There is no option for drive selection in the iDVD menu structure either.
I don't really want to spend ages writing Disk Images, then writing to the LaCie, and I've searched this forum for a similar issue - but 'fraid I can't find anything similar. Does anyone have any suggestions that will enable iDVD to recognise the external LaCie ?
Appreciate any advice

RE: How do I get iDVD5 to recognise my external DVD Drive ?
Don't skip this route - the amount of "extra" time is almost zero - in effect iDVD is doing this anyway behind the scenes to some degree. And separating encoding from burning makes a lot of sense. I always "Save as Disk Image" and burn separately.
And there is a guy that works for LaCie that frequent this forum:
http://discussions.info.apple.com/webx?224@@[email protected]/7
I think you just need the proper disk burning profile from LaCie. You could probably e-mail Mike at the address on his profile. Or post a new thread titled "Question for Mike - LaCie Firewire and iDVD5"
John B.

Mike
Thanks. I tried burning a disk image for a 48min video in iDVD. That worked fine when previewed. I then burnt it to DVD in Toast 6.1 using the Copy (Image File option) Tab.
The resultant DVD will not play in either my internal Drive, nor my normal DVD player - which is a multi region player. The DVD is only recognised in the external LaCie. BUT, playing the movie only shows chapter 1 of 12, and there is no sound at all. (despite the preview showing it to be ok).
As a test, I burnt the movie in iDVD5 using the Pfurz & Hurz plugins. It burnt ok, but I got the same result - chapter 1 only and no sound.
My supplier for the LaCie rive suggested I also try and export the movie from iMovie to a Quick Time compression at full DV quality to make sure that worked. It doesn't - despite a 35Gb spare capacity on the Hard Drive, I either get a complete system hang with hard restarts required, Error 36 or the occasional short clip compressing OK. I'm at a loss - the fact that I get a decent image file from iDVD indicated there's nothing wrong with the video files...
Any suggestions ??!

Another Question...rotating on two axis

Hi again. Well I have yet another question...how do I set a translation to rotate on two axis? Like I know that I can do:
TransformGroup tg;
Transform3D t3d = new Transform3D();
t3d.setRotation(new AxisAngle4f(1f,0f,0f,(some angle)));
tg.setTransform(t3d);
for one axis (I just put the declarations in to show an example) but if I try to apply two set rotations or two Transform3D's it doesn't work...so how would I rotate on, say, both the x and the y axis? Thanks,
Compaq

in fact the best thing would be to get used to quaternions. I suppose some Java3D tutorials discribe it quite well.
If you really want to use rotation on axis you have two solutions :
create 2 Transform3D and apply the result
Transform3D t3dx = new Transform3D();
t3dx.setRotation(new AxisAngle4f(1f,0f,0f,(xangle)));
Transform3D t3dy = new Transform3D();
t3dy.setRotation(new AxisAngle4f(0f,1f,0f,(yangle)));
t3dx.mul(t3dy);
tg.setTransform(t3dx);
(hum, at least i suppose it would work ;)
or you can do that too :
Transform3D t3dx = new Transform3D();
t3d.setRotation(new AxisAngle4f(1f,yangle/xangle,0f,(xangle)));
tg.setTransform(t3d);
(in this case xangle must be != 0)
I'm not really sure it will work so please tell me if it works. I've tried to help you twice today so you can send me some bucks to the folowing address :
oh, ok mum i won't give our address on the internet ;)

Another question - I'm sorry!

I'm sorry to bother you guys with another question. =p Just a quickie- How exactly do I get a movie from a DVD onto my computer after putting it in the drive? This is probably another stupid question, haha. ^_^; But I honestly haven't a clue.
THANK YOU in advance!! =)

It may be a quick question... but there's certainly no quick answer to it.
The topic of DVD ---> iPod has been covered thoroughly in these forums already. There's literally hundreds of topics which answer your question for you.
I would suggest that you search through the forums to find your answer, rather than start a whole new topic with duplicate information.

Another question (master socket)

Sorry for another question, but this is a forum after all .
Tomorrow all being well I should receive my welcome pack and business hub and on Friday I should receive Infinity, however I need something answered before the installation begins on Friday.
When I moved in my master socket, well, it had no faceplate on the bottom half (just a test socket basically) so I got myself one of those ADSLNation faceplate things which fit to the bottom half of the master socket and work as a filter. My question is:
- Should I remove the ADSLNation faceplate, use a standard micro-filter instead and explain to the engineer (if he queries it) that when I moved in there was no faceplate on the lower half of the master socket?
... or ...
- Should I leave it as it is with the ADSLNation faceplate on the front (screws don't properly fit either so I didn't bother with screws for that)?
Just concerned that if I appear to have used the ADSLNation (in other words not official BT faceplate) instead of an official BT one then the engineer might make a fuss or something?
Many thanks.

I see. Thanks for the clarification everyone.
I'll either take it off before Friday morning and use a normal micro-filter, so that it has no opportunity to go missing with the engineer, or if I decide to leave it there I'll make sure the engineer doesn't take it with him (as it doesn't belong to him after all, since I purchased that from ADSLNation and may at some point in the future need it again, e.g. if I moved years later to a location where Infinity isn't currently supported).

Hi ya'll! I'm still learning how to navigate my way with Lightroom. (Last time I wrote, I did get some responses that work. Thanks so much!) Now, I have another question. When I try to copy pics from my external drive to a CD/DVD, no matter if do it from LR or my drive, I keep getting the message; "Disk burning is not supported by LR on this computer." I've tried everything I can think of, so, I thought I'd see if anyone may know if there's anything I can do. Or could it be that my computer just can't handle it? Help!!! So frustrating!! I have a PC Lenovo computer, I don't know if this makes any difference. Any ideas? Thanks so much for your help!!!

Have you burned Discs with other programs using this computer? Are you certain that you have a drive that will burn discs?

Another question - This time about CoverFlow

Hi again.
Now that I feel better about my previous problem I have another question: I ripped some really old LPs from my personal collection to mp3 format and transferred them to my iPod. Those LPs are really obscure and info about them on the Net is virtually inexistent. I scanned the LP covers (a tedious process since my scanner isn't big enough to hold the whole cover) and embedded the pictures into the audio files. For some time, they appeared OK within CoverFlow, but now they've been replaced by the two sixteenth notes symbol. I've tried synchronizing my iPod with cover art disabled and then enabling it again-resyncing, changing the images format to jpg to bmp and nothing works. I think I'd download a different image file from the Net and use it instead, but again, nothing can be found about these LPs. Is there a solution for this aside from rescanning the covers? (Again, it would be OK for me if I hadn't to join and fix images using PhotoShop since I can't scan the whole cover at once). Thank you again!

You do not say what the image resolution of your scanned artwork is but, I recently read a post stating that too high resolution can cause problems. Try changing the resolution of your final images to something smaller than 500x500. You should be able to do this in PhotoShop without rescanning the covers.

Hi I'm Barb I have another question - thanks to Eric Root was able to install OSX - but had problum when it wanted to set everything up beCause I forget my login info so I put it thru as No Sign In - I got my info and would like to have OS X set itself up

Hi I'm Barb I have another question - thanks to Eric Root was able to install OSX - but had problem when it wanted to set everything up because I forget my login info so I put it thru as No Sign In - now I have my info and would like to have OS X set itself up can I get back to that setup point? and of course how? Thanks again Eric

Hi Eric -As to both questions I must tell you how relieved you made me, I've been on mac's since 1990? and this is truthfully the first time I've received a intelligent understandable response without have to go through 3 or 4 people - You are really Great - hope you won't mind my coming back to you if I need to. Thanks Again - Oh by the way I did what you said and did it manually easier and safer. Barb

Another question about gmail

I just posted a question about adding gmail and it was answered. Now, I have another question, I added the new gmail account. It shows in the mail preferences under accounts. Incoming mail addressed to gmail comes to the Archive Box. But I still can't send mail by gmail because in the drop down menu on the email it only lists my other two accounts. Gmail is not an option. I highlighted gmail in the account list and it showed that as the account in use. But, still there was no gmail option on the email form in the sender box. How do I fix that?

I am using windows Vista and having this problem also (not exactly, but iTunes gives pop-up that "files are in use"). Acting a suggestion from another answer in this thread, I clicked on Computer and selected eject...windows did warn me that the device was in use, but also gave me a CONTINUE button, which I clicked and it was ejected...had to go back to iTunes and eject the iPod there also, but it did eject

ANOTHER Question about my iMac G3. Mac OS X and RAM

Hey, I have ANOTHER question about my iMac G3.
I know that I'm supposed to have the latest firmware updates for my iMac G3 running OS 8.1, which I do, but I read some where these firmware updates could only be updated if you're running OS 9.2. Yet when I run the firmware updater, it says my firmware is up to date. I just wanted to make sure this was correct because I just ordered an OS X 10.2 CD today, and I don't want my mac to be "dead" when I install it.
My next question is how much RAM can my mac hold. It's an iMac G3 with a 233 mhz processor, if that makes a differemce.
Again, thanks to the people who have helped me with my first Mac.

hi there--
unfortunately you require system 9.1 or 9.2 for the required firmware update 1.2 for your computer http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86117. so you'll have to install that if you want to install 10.2. it may work for you for a little while, but then you could possibly lose all your information. so i wouldn't advise attempting installing 10.2 without the correct firmware.

Another question about adding music to iPhone

Apologies for yet another question regarding adding music to an iPhone but I am completely stuck.
I bought a new laptop in January (it runs windows 8). I've authorised it and synced my phone to it before. I've used it to add music before.
Lately I've just been buying music directly from itunes on my phone but I wanted to add some music from my older collection that is on an external harddrive.
I've gone through the process of syncing the phone again, which has wiped whatever was on there. I made sure I'd ticked on the "manually manage music" box.
It's put all my purchased music back but it still will not let me drag and drop music from my external harddrive. When I hover over with the file it has "link" but it won't actually send the music to the phone.
Is there a way for me to do this without putting music on to my itunes library? I don't like itunes and I definitely don't want to add the music to my laptop as it defeats the purpose of having an external harddrive! Sorry for such a long-winded explanation.

Just to add... I've now tried adding music to the library (getting desperate here) and it's not letting me do that either. Just says 'link'.
This is the most frustrating thing ever. Why are the simplest of tasks made so difficult? It seems like it only works if you buy the music from the iTunes store.

Yet another question about super raid - GS70

Yes, another question about Super Raid...I recently picked up the cheapest model of the GS70 on newegg which comes with 1 mSata SSD...just a mediocre one if I remember reading correctly. I'm interested in using MSI's Super Raid once my warranty is over with and have been reading a couple posts here:
1. Walk through of how to reinstall OS
--> https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=167198.msg1224063#msg1224063
2. I'll need a Super Raid card with links to get some, for about $100 each
--> https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=171722.msg1252847#msg1252847
3. I can't get Super Raid unless it originally came with it?
--> https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=171185.msg1249640#msg1249640
So what's the bottom line? Would I still be able to enable super raid in the future or am I SOL since it didn't come with it originally?
thanks!

The GT70 CAN come with an adapter that has 2 (on the older, GT70 0NX models) or 3 (on newer GT70 20X models) sockets for mSATA drives. It's an optional part, that takes place of the primary SATA drive in the notebook, and physically has a different part that connects to the motherboard. If it doesn't come with the SuperRaid adapter, then it just has support for a single 2.5" SATA drive.
The GS70 on the otherhand, has this built into the motherboard and there is no swapping it out for a normal 2.5" SATA drive. You can only use mSATA drives (on those ports). The GS70 is meant to be an ultrabook, and therefore does not have the same ability as the GT70 to house up to 2 full size 2.5" SATA drives.
That's really the main difference here. Without physically seeing a GT70 to see how the SuperRaid adapter works, it's slightly difficult to explain.
But in the end, I wouldn't worry about the SuperRaid....The GS70 should have support for Intel Raid Management Engine, in which case that's all you really need.
