Can someone help me with purchasing a HDD?
Hello Everyone.
I've been reading up on external HDD's here and have a few questions.
#1. I'm running a MacBook Pro, 3gigs Ram running 10.4.11
I use FCpro to edit Standard Def footage. Captured from my Sony Handycam. My business partner and I video Indian Weddings and typically end up with about 9 hrs of film per wedding.
We are trying to plan for the future and moving to HD cameras sometime within a year. As well as the fact that we need more space now. We currently use MyBook's which after reading up on here I wish we wouldn't have purchased. They are both 350 gig.
We need external HDD's. AND I was "hoping" to find some that we can both connect to. Or are expandable by piggybacking... something like that. A HDD where we both can access the same information on the same HDD would be perfect. Anyone have any suggestions?
Also, I know that 7200RPMs are great, firewire is great but if we could both connect... that would be perfect.
We can connect via, Firewire, and I'm guessing we can get a card that will insert into the PCI slot and let us connect via Sata cable.
Any help or suggestions would be great.
Thanks.

Thanks for the replies everyone.
Jerry- I think we can allot up to about $1,000. Might be able to go higher but I doubt I can go much passed $1,500.
Hisham- We have been doing the divide and conquer method, which is what we are trying to avoid if possible. And by that I mean... I digitize all my footage. My partner digitizes all his footage. We both store all footage on externals. Then I borrow his for a while and pull all my footage onto his external and then pull all his onto mine. We both end up with gigs of data but at least we both have access to the exact same files. We were hoping to pull all the files into one spot, so we can both have access to the same files. Maybe even work on each other's projects if we have to. But right now it's a pain. I've looked into external HDD's but they can only connect to one computer at a time.
David- I need to be able to connect to the same external Hard Disk Drive as my business partner. We need access to the same files. I think at this point we would rather gear up and then get camera's to work within our system. However, at this point, all I'm trying to do is get our computers to be able to access the same external hard drive. I didn't think it would be that difficult.
Thanks guys

Hi, can someone help me with my External HDD??? Please
Hi, Can someone help me with my Extenal HDD???
PleaseAfter you have all of the files from the External HDD you want to save, to format the HDD:
Open Launchpad
Open Utilities
Open Disk Utility
Select Hard Drive to format (the external HDD)
If you want to change partition size or number select Partition Table
Select number of partitions and adjust sizes if more than one
Name the partitions
Select the format from the pop-up menu (use Mac OS Extended (Journaled))
If it is not already selected, select GUID Partition Table
Click OK
Click Apply
And it should do the formatting for you.
Note: giving a name may come after the format selection, I sometimes get that out of order but it will lead you through the process. -

I'm assuming you have Photo Stream set up of both devices. However, it seems many users are experiencing the same as you - my take is that streaming photos is not foolproof yet.

HI everybody i want to ask if you come me in help, i want to draw paths but when i use stroke options with pen or brush settings i loose quality when i zoom in , can someone help me with pen settings???
The work path is a vector object, and infinitely scalable, but when you stroke it, Photoshop lays pixels on a layer that follow the path. These pixels are raster based and can not be scaled without loosing quality. You do have options. If you want to make the raster layer bigger, transform the work path and stroke it again. Or work at a higher resolution in the first place.
Incidentally, you can't stroke a Path with the Pen, because it is a Vector based tool, and stroking is a raster based function. -

I have followed the instructions to update Flash Player, the Installation Fails at about 90%, it says that there is an Application running (Safari) and it says to close all the apps. and start again ... but I already close all the Applications ... none is running ... can someone help me with this issue ??? Thanks ...
Dear Dominic
Brilliant reply. Simple English. Simple to follow instructions. And it worked immediately, first time.
Why couldn't the Apple and Adobe corporations get their programming right first time? We spend billions of UK pounds and US dollars with them. They reply with incompetent programming such as this, and arrogance to their customers in issuing faulty systems without doing the most rudimentary checks.
Anyway, I certainly shan't be buying another Apple as this is the most unreliable, most incomprehensible, most illogical and downright thoughtless shoddy piece of computer kit which I have ever owned. And all of it is rubbish ~ emails disappear, photos can't be organised properly, spreadsheets don't work, Pages is laborious… the list goes on and on...
But thanks to you Dominic, I have been able to load Adoble Flashj… maybe eyou should get a job at Apple, and set them all on the right course to how to work simply and correctly with customers.
Thanks again,
David -

My iphone 4S Black 16 GB with IOS 7.0.4 turns off randomly in low battery less than 15% and also when I am taking pictures from my front camera in low battery of 30%. This is happening very often. Can someone help here with advise? The phone is slightly more than 2 years bought from singapore I live in India
Either your battery is failing or your battery gauge needs to be recalibrated. Start by recalibrating:
When it shuts off charge for just a minute or two, then restart (hold HOME and SLEEP until an Apple logo appears). Deliberately run the battery down until the phone shuts off at 1%. If it shuts off above 1% repeat the above until you get to 1%. Then charge for 4 hours with the wall charger without using the phone. This process will recalibrate the battery gauge.
To prevent this from happening again about once a month run the battery all the way down to 1%, then continue until the phone shuts off. Apple recommends this in their battery help article, but they don't say why you should do it. The have some hokum about "keeping the electrons moving." Honestly! The iPad battery tip gives the correct reason.
If this does not resolve the problem you most likely need a new battery. If you are near an Apple store take the phone in and they can test the battery for you.
