Capturing to removable drives question

MacOS 10.6.5/ 8 core 2.1/ 6 gig ram/ fibre channel array/ CS5 production premium/ AJA Kona3 / Facilis Terrablock
premiere sees the shared array as a removable drive which in a sense it is. I can mount and unmount partions via a control panel.
on partions to which I have write status it will not let me select those partitions as they are "removable"
Is this how it works? Is there a workaround? How are others dealing with this?
Thank You
Doug Beal

i forgot to mention. another option is to format the drive as HFS+ (the mac standard) and use something like MacDrive on the windows side to communicate w/ the drive....

  • Elements 12 "Copy/Move to Removable Drive"

    Reference case # 185684196, phone support given last year, the problem persists.  In Elements 12, on my desktop PC (Windows 7, 64 bit) - I import photo files into the organizer, from camera card (RAW files, Nikon), THEN use the "Copy/Move to Removable Drive" function to move these files to a external hard drive (RAID 1 configuration) for permanent storage.  When I run this process, it initially moves the files to the destination drive -- then a dialogue asks (approximately):  are you sure you want to delete these files? (from the desktop drive) -- I click "yes" -- a progress bar runs -- and near completion, the process fails "Elements Organizer - An error occurred while reading files or writing files to disc.  The disc may be full or there may be a problem with the source media."  In fact, there is a great amount of disc space available at the destination drive.  My wife and I use (for many years) this program for semi-professional purpose.  It is CRITICAL to avoid any corruption -- the indexing / connection between the organizer thumbnail reference images and the externally stored image files MUST be properly maintained.  What is causing this error message, what must be done to resolve the issue?  I couple of times, when this has occurred, I went to the storage drive, manually deleted the just-imported files, ran the process again -- and, on this 2nd attempt, the process completed successfully.  Obviously, this is not a long-term solution, nor a proper procedure -- and I always worry some sort of corruption may be introduced -- so, please advise the correct solution.  Also -- I have been advised, and do practice, not allowing the catalogue to grow beyond 5,000 images (I then start a new catalogue).  With the current, large batch of photos I'm importing (over 300 images), I'm also getting an "advice" message to back up the catalogue -- something I think I will do, to a different external drive, to have redundancy beyond even the present RAID 1 storage - however, this in no way solves the problem I'm asking you to help

    I don't know how you managed to write in such a tiny font, but I managed to read your post and here is my take about your problems.
    1 - What's the purpose of uploading from your card to your internal drive and not directly in your external NAS drive, since you don't keep them on your internal drive? You can use Windows to copy from your card to the NAS. You can even set the default location where the photo downloader in the Organizer sends your pictures. I don't have a NAS, but that works perfectly on an external USB drive.
    2 - Reminder: the Organizer does not store picture files, only links to their real location (drive and path, that can be on an external drive). The catalog itself by default is on your boot drive, but it can be used on an external drive (not on a NAS for Macs).
    3 - If you want to move files from your internal drive to the external one, you can simply use the drag and drop method in the left Folders panel. You can also 'export' selected files in the organizer to another drive.
    4 - The advice to limit the catalog size to 5,000 items and split catalogs is stupid. There are happy users of 100,000 pictures, and splitting catalogs only creates organizing problems without any real advantage.
    5 - About storing catalogs and photos on a network drive: http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshop-elements-faq.htm#_Storing_the_catalog
    6 - What about your backup procedures? Do you use the built-in backup/restore feature in Elements? If you use another external backup, how do you backup catalogs?

  • Cannot capture to external drive

    been said before, by myself and others, here we go again.
    Canon XH-A1 , HDV 1080i footage.
    way back 6 months ago..
    i couldnt capture to external disk on PBG4.
    then i got a MBPro , still couldnt cap to external disk.
    then i got a mac Pro , still cant cap to external disk.
    at least it now captures to system drive,
    at first it had unknown error, then just crashed on initializing log n capture,
    reinstalled QT, trashed prefs, repaired permissions and kicked the dog.
    APPLE!!!! FIX IT!!!

    in the PBG4 it was a PCM FW400 card in the slot.
    BUT,
    if it will capture to the system drive then how would some supposed timecode problem prevent it capturing to an external drive?
    so you reckon i should add PCIe FW card to the Mac Pro?
    blimey..!!
    also,
    before changing to the MacPro FCP on MBP went crook,
    adding a basic transition caused a crash,
    re-opening the main sequence was gone,
    finally found an autosave file in the trash!!
    while i am here, other questions not answered elsewhere,
    if i were to capture the camera's HDV tape info via component out into a Blackmagic card would that give a better overall quality?
    would this make editing easier?
    is there any difference in doing this (via cap card) versus changing the HDV to ProRes or PhotoJPG in the sequence?
    Or,
    would capturing from HDMI out (my camera doesn't have it, but just imagine),
    into capture card, give a better quality image?
    also,
    would a card help with rendering times?
    also,
    since compressor is so slow and bad,
    what is the best program to compress an excellent looking QT output file for writing a SD DVD?
    so far the basic Visual Hub program does a better job much faster,
    but still doesn't look very good on DVD,
    what other programs are there?

  • BT Cloud - using a removable drive

    Hi All,
    I want to backup about 30gb of photos to the cloud from a removable drive.. I did this last night and after about 4 hours the job was done.
    I looked at my cloud today and pretty much the whole lot now sits in trash  In the absence of a restore all button I am forced to go through the entire list ticking nearly 8,000 boxes then pressing restore.
    Is this in vain, will they all simply delete again as the volume "k" on my machine comes and goes depending on whether the removable drive is with me or not. I would hate to think that as the drive is no longer attached, the cloud would take it upon itself to remove the whole backup.
    If it isnt the cloud that has moved all to the trash, I will have to question the wife/ kids to see who is playing silly b**gers!!
    Any tips / tricks on how I can optimise the setup for this senario. essentially this device is a non-dynamic backup. I want the files to remain in the cloud, but there is no need to check for new files in those directories.
    Many thanks

    Quite often BT Cloud will not back up to removable or network drives at all; so you were (sort of) lucky.
    One very incovenient workaround is to back up from the web interface.  That doesn't keep the directory structure unless you are careful to recreate it manually, and limits you to 200 files at a time.  But it doesn't implicitly remove the files once they are there.
    Another is to install BT Cloud on a 'spare' machine if you have one.  Connect the drive to that machine and do the backup.  Either unistall BT Cloud, or remove BT Cloud from automatically starting.  Make sure you never start it on that machine unless the drive is attached (and with the same drive letter).
    Another is to do the backup and immediately uninstall BT Cloud.  Then reinstall BT Cloud.  It is too stupid to realize you are on the same machine, so you will have to give a new device name.  The old device name will stay in the BT Cloud with all the files still present.
    You get a free Flickr Pro subscription if you sign up with your BT email address.  The is a very underadvertised feature.  Bulk backup to Flickr is not all that convenient either, but that might do what you need.
    And finally, use a proper backup solution that actually works.  Though that is a bit galling after thinking you have been offered a free 50GB backup solution by BT.

  • K8T Master 2 FAR; Hard Drive Questions About

    Greetings!
    I just got off the Google bus and stubbed my toe on your doorstep.  What luck!
    I have many questions, and it's getting harder to find answers for a mainboard that's not being sold "new" anymore.  I did see some other topics that go along lines similar to my own, but I figured it would be a good idea to open a new thread with my specific questions.
    I have decided to split my questions into three parts.  This is part one, "hard drive" questions.
    HARD DRIVE RELATED:
    Western Digital recently announced a new high-capacity SATA Raptor drive, with 150 GB of storage: 
    1)  Can I mount two of them into my K8T Master 2 FAR system and "hardware stripe" them for Windows/XP?
    ....1A)  If yes, is there a minimum recommended BIOS that I should be running?
    ....1B)  If no, then would it be feasibile to "software stripe" them in Windows/XP Pro?
    If I decide to proceed, I will be well-prepared to accept the risk of data loss that would occur if one drive were to crash.
    I currently run my system with a removable SATA drive caddy for my system drive.  This makes it easy to swap OS's by swapping hard drives without opening my CPU case.  If I go with a dual-striped SATA drive arrangement and two Raptors, then I'll replace that removable caddy with a unit that can accomodate two SATA drives. 
    ....1C)  Once in a blue moon, I get a BSOD after having swapped SATA drives.  It happens when I first boot Windows/XP after having run Linux.  Hot-swappable claims notwithstanding, I always swap drives while the system is powered down, although I don't typically shut off the hardware switch at the power power supply.  Are there any known issues or reports of other people having similar occurrences? 
    I also run some IDE devices for data and archival purposes.  My system is typically set up as follows:
    CH 0/0 - Data drive
    CH 0/1 - DVD burner
    CH 1/0 - Data drive
    CH 1/1 - Data drive
    Recently, my system stopped "seeing" any hard drives on CH 1 drive 1.  Known good drives won't show up in the BIOS, and auto-detect doesn't "see" a drive in that position.  I have tried more than one drive, and the problem stays on that channel and position.  I swapped cables with a known good cable, and the problem stays on that channel and position.  For the time being, I have disconnected one of the data drives...but I'd really like to resolve this issue if possible.
    ....1D)  Are there any known problems or issues with "disappearing IDE devices" in the K8T Master 2 FAR?
    Thanks in advance!

    Can't say, this is the first time I hear about SATA caddies....
    Maybe a bad contact or so?
    Sata is pretty sensitive to connection problems, or even folded cables for that matter...

  • Escrow the recovery key in DB server and not in AD when removable drive is encrypted.

    Is there any way to escrow the recovery key in the database server and not in AD when removable drive (USB drive) is encrypted via manage-bde command line? The data recovery agent is not enabled in our organization. 
    "Choose how bitlocker protected removable Drives can be recovered" for removable drives is disabled in our Group policy also.
    Please advise. Thank you.

    As far as I am concerned, you cannot do that when you are using the command line "Manage-bde".
    The reason is because, the manage-bde command line parameters doesn't support saving recovery keys to databases. Also there is not any group policy defined for it.
    I you want an option to save recovery keys in a database rather than the AD, I would recommend to use MBAM (Microsoft Bitlocker Administration and Monitoring).

  • MBAM bitlocker-protected removable drives recovery keys saved on sql database not active directory

    Hi Guys
    I need help in saving bitlocker protected removable drives on the sql database instead of active directory .
    I have tried to play around with the policy and I am not winning , currently my GPO : Choose how bitlocker-protected removable drives can be recovered has only the allow data recovery agent chosen and I have left out all the AD DS option unticked
    Please point me in the right direction on how to achieve this , I want all my keys in a SQL database so the users can recover the keys themselves using the mbam helpdesk website

    Under client management, define your endpoint URLs. You can see the help and the description section for that particular policy. Copy and paste the URL removing the port number and replace the name of the Server with that of your MBAM Web server.
    Also, Disable or don't configure the policy "Choose how bitlocker protected removable Drives can
    be recovered".
    This will save your recovery keys to the MBAM DBs.

  • Imported photos from removable drive and only show on that drive

    I was attemping to copy all my photos to my laptop using PSE8. Some how instead of having my catalogue on C drive I have it on the removable drive. So the files won't import to C drive cause it says I already have them they don't show in the organizer but do in explorer. now I can't delete the E drive and import the files to C:doc../set/... /all pics HELP

  • Automountd crash - can't see removable drives

    Hi,
    I have a Power MAC G4 tower running Leopard (v10.5.4). I also have a Western Digital external hard drive (250 GB) attached via firewire that contains my iPhoto Libraries.
    Recently, the WD drive does not appear in my Finder window. It is detected by the System Profiler app but not the Disk Utility. I am also having similar issues with a thumb drive via USB.
    I have attached the WD drive to a PowerBook G4 notebook (also running 10.5.4) and it sees the drive with no problems.
    The tower also has a patch for MobileMe - coincidentally, the WD drive stopped showing up in Finder when I installed this patch. The notebook does not have this patch.
    Also, I see in my /Library/Logs/CrashReporter that I have several recent crash file reports from the automounter. The automount crash log seems to appear even with the WD drive powered off during boot of the tower.
    Has anybody run into this problem and have some advice on how to see my removable drives again?
    Thanks in advance,
    -Brenda

    Hi bstef,
    Something definitely seems wrong with your system. automountd should not be crashing, and based on the description you provide about your external drives, I wouldn't be surprised if other daemons (like diskarbitrationd) are also crashing.
    You might want to have a look at your system.log, which you can see in the Console application. In that log you're looking for further clues as to what is causing some of your system processes to crash. It would probably be a good troubleshooting step to open the Console, view the system.log, then try to attach one of your drives that is not showing up. Hopefully you'll be able to see in real time some system errors.

  • Fcp capturing to system drive

    I only have one drive set as a scratch disk in fcp....only one is showing in the settings window and is checked to capture everything. It's a 160 GB drive external with nothing on it. I've used it several times.
    I captured about 50 or 60 GB of footage last night and all of it captured to my system drive! There's nothing on the external drive at all.
    Any ideas?

    update:
    I moved all of the captured files to the correct scratch disk (the external drive) and reconnected them, and now it's capturing to that drive. So right now it's okay. But I'd still like to know why it all of a sudden captured to the system drive all on it's own. Was it something I did somewhere? I'd hate to think it is just going to choose the system drive whenever it wants to!!!

  • Firewire removable drive eject problem

    Hi
    I have one of those intermittent failures which is driving me crazy. I've got a Granite Digital removable FW-800 drive hooked up to my Quad (10.4.7). Also have a SATA removable drive bay. Most of the time, external drives work just great, and there's no problem.
    However... often enough to make me ask it here, I'll eject the drive, via drag to the trash in the dock, or via contextual menu "eject" and, after a bit longer pause than usual, the icon will disappear from the finder's desktop. Everything looks good, but...
    ... when I go to turn off the drive, or remove it, I get an "improperly put away...may damage drive" message.
    And then... it's totally impossible to restart or shut down the machine. A power off is needed.
    Leaving aside comments on how long the software should be looking for an obviously missing drive before simply giving up (hint: infinity is too long) there's this.
    What's happening? (don't say that something is open on the drive... nothing is) and two, is there something I can do once I get this message to prevent the infinite look? Terminal command? Anything?
    OK: one more thing - am I the only person this happens to?
    TIA

    ex-programmer and Mac user since 1984...

    Gleaned from a string of several painful experiences...
    When "OFF" isn't really "off."
    When it's a switch on the back of some, and certainly firewire boxes fall into the "some" category, peripheral boxes. I spent I don't know how many hours chasing this down because I forgot something I'd learned a few years ago: it's OK to switch off the power to an external firewire box using the switch on the back of the box, but it's NOT OK to switch it off by turning off (unplugging) the "brick" or using a master controller that turns off the AC power.
    Why? Because "off" isn't really "off"... keeping the "brick" alive keeps the system informed about the firewire device's presence; turn it off "at the wall" and you're going to seriously confuse the system. In my system, it would work this way: if I left the box switch in the "on" position, then when I turned on the wall power, the hard drive would show up on my desktop.
    Now, I was always religious about ejecting the drive before I powered down, but my mistake was powering down "at the wall" instead of using the switch on the back of the box. I figured I'd save the power drained by the brick when I wasn't using the drive.
    Bad mistake. About 50% of the time, when I'd eject the -next- drive I mounted externally, I'd get a message saying "improper device removal"... and my system would -seriously- choak up. Nothing would run; nothing would quit and I'd be faced with a forced hard power-off of my whole system.
    Once I recalled what the heck I was doing wrong, and reverted to "once powered on, leave it on" the problems went away.
    The problem seems to affect external SATA drives as well (although I'm not as positive of that as I am of the firewire issue.) So: leave the boxes plugged into the wall, and only use the switches on the back to turn them on and off. If the wall-wart bricks are eating up extra power, I'm afraid that's the price you pay for the modern age.

  • SATA Boot as Removable Drive ?

    Recently a buddy installed a new ASUS board with SATA boot via onboard SATA. SATA drives showed up as removable. Didn't like that so we installed a SATA PCI card and they functioned normally.
    Then we freshened up an MSI MS-6788 board using the onboard SATA to boot a SATA Raptor drive. Did the F6, install other drivers during XP Pro install.
    These drives functioned normally.
    Which was one reason I chose MSI for the new build I just finished yesterday. Using the MSI P6N I installed a Raptor as the boot drive, a second Raptor and a SATA CD/DVD player.
    F6 during install was not necessary as it recognized the drive. It boots fine and all drives are recognized but again these are showing up as removable drives.
    Doe anyone know the definitive answer to this or what I'm doing wrong.
    MSI tech wrote me back a short note saying SATA showing up as removable is normal. I don't buy that. I have (and have seen) too many systems whereas SATA boot and internal devices "don't" show up as removable using both add-on cards and on board SATA.
    As well the older MSI MS-6788 does not show the devices as removable.
    Thanks...

    I totally agree. But this is far from a server board. Let me ask... when was the last time you "hot swapped" a SATA drive?
    Especially plugged into the onboard SATA.
    I just don't follow the concept. For the sake of being hot swappable...
    ... you get a c:boot and d: internal drive that show they can be ejected (when in reality they can't because they are being used).
    ...and then you can eject your CD/DVD drive (which I can't see the reason to do).
    ... and then to top it off you plug in a USB stick and it's the 4th ejectable device.
    Somewhere there should be the criteria to untick a box that says "this drive is not removable".
