Firewire conflict? aka I don't know what's going on!

Running OS 10.4.9, QT 7.1.5, and FCP 5.1.4 on a PowerMac Dual 2Ghz G5 with a LACIE 500GB FWD and Sony DSR-11 attached via firewire.
Brand new problem here: When I have the LACIE drive mounted and try and use my DSR-11 to 'View External Video' (over NTSC Firewire), I get the spinning beach ball that won't go away until I power down my DSR-11. If I don't have the LACIE mounted, I can 'View External Video' via firewire, but that doesn't help when my media for my project is on the LACIE. I've never seen this before.
Another weird thing about it: I tried emptying the trash with both the LACIE and DSR-11 powered on. One of the items in the trash was from my startup disk (FCP preferences file) and one was from the LACIE drive (a QT media file). I got the spinning beach ball in the Finder and the trash stalled during emptying. I powered down the DSR-11 and it instantly finished emptying the trash.
Any suggestions? I already trashed preferences... Not totally sure this is even a FCP problem, but this seemed the best place to post.

Well, the main thing was that the DSR-11 was registering in the System Profiler on the laptop. Just mentioned iMovie because that was the only app on that computer that utilizes the DSR-11 and wanted to point out that it was functioning with software.
The bigger news is: I finally got everything up and operational on the G5. DSR-11 connected to rear bus and fucntioning properly - LACIE connected to fron bus and functioning properly. Both devices appear in the System Profiler.
I think the issue was that the Bizarro World was overlapping too much with the Real World. A bunch of disconnecting/reconnecting and 5 or so restarts seem to have fixed whatever problem there was. Thanks for all help - sorry I can't offer a clear cut solution (I think this was just one of those "deadline-based" problems - you know: the ones that appear out of nowhere whenever you have a tight deadline and you're already behind

  • My steam won't launch ever since I updated to Yosemite I don't know what is going on.

    Whenever I try to launch it, it says "Steam quit unexpectedly" I have tried redownloading it 5 times and have every software up to date. I also have tried
    deleting all my steam files and it still doesn't work. Here is a screenshot:
    I also downloaded a program called EtreCheck that checks for issues so here is what it found:

    When copying pic from iPhoto 09 to a file, to burn a CD, after 35 photos it stops copying and I get "Unable to create/users/dividrublesr/ documents/I don't know what is going on. Forgive me for any mistakes, I am a first timer.

    Given that the file is selected then the next possibility is that you're exporting two files with the same name. When you do this the export breaks down as the second file would overwrite the first. Check the filenames.

    I don't know what is going on with the White Balance (WB) and LR.  I had no problem before but recently LR started to change the  WB as  it is importing photos.  I checked the color scale for my photos and LR and both are with sRGB.  Now instead of LR changing the WB it is giving me a second copy with a new WB.  Your advise is very much needed and appreciated.  Thank you.

    Can you show us a screen capture of this 2nd copy with a new WB in your Lightroom grid? Thanks
    Are these second copy photos by any chance photos that had been previously imported?

  • When switch on...I don't know what's going on...

    I don't know what's wrong with my MacBook Pro when I switch it on
    Please watch the video below
    http://youtu.be/uPCtqYYOMvY?list=UUcR6nO8MYaeh6ZbcEs7-Cyg
    How can I solve this problem? Please help.

    This same exact thing has happened to me SEVERAL times since I have upgraded to Lion.  Thanks to the solution provided, I was able to get my Finder Windows to reappear.  Thank you cabooth.  I hope Apple fixes this in their next release - I'm getting awfully tired of having to do it.

  • The gmail and Dell start up page will not show content. it says a conflict with browser. don't know what that means.

    I'm unable to find what is wrong or how to fix. I also could not view video on websites as per usual but now that seems to be okay again, whether it was something I did or other mystery.

    I don't know if this will work and I know nothing about the BT homehub, but it's worth a shot. Reboot the hub, unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again. Wait until the hub fully boots ups and then see if the iPad will recognize it.

  • Don't know what's going on.

    Okay. The other day my iPod froze so just I reset it. Then when I turned it on again the apple appeared and then after that a folder with an "!" appeared and this kept repeating but then eventually turned off.
    So now I hooked my iPod up the computer to see if the songs would upload back on it, but it kept doing the apple and then folder thing. Every once in while the "do not disconnect" would show up but then it would just go back to the apple - folder thing. Every once in a while I saw a battery with an "!" which I'm guessing it means no battery even though the iPod is hooked up to the computer.
    Does anybody know what the heck is going on or if I can fix it?
    Also I'm guessing that me not being able to update my iPod is a contributing factor (because our freaking security thing wouldn't allow me to download updates). But now I think I figured out a way to update it but my iPod is freaking out.

    Make sure you have all updates installed, run Disk Utility and repair permissions.
    Otherwise if that does not help, and you are using the factory install of Tiger, I would recommend backing up your files & doing a custom reinstallation.

  • I don't know what's going on!

    I'm having some trouble playing some videos. It was playing just fine earlier today. Now when I try to play a video, I can only hear the sound but my screen turns green. What's going on?

    right click on a video and go to settings (flash settings), disable hardware acceleration and see if that fixes it.

  • I don't know what is going on with my computer

    I have no words to explain what is going on with my computer. Its very hard to explain so here is a screenshot of the problem   

    To take a screenshot hold ⌘ Shift 4 to create a selection crosshair. Click and hold while you drag the crosshair over the area you wish to capture and then release the mouse button. You will hear a "camera shutter" sound. This will deposit a screenshot on your Desktop.
    If you can't find it on your Desktop look in your Documents or Downloads folder.
    When you post your response, click the "camera" icon above the text field:
    This will display a dialog box which enables you to choose the screenshot file (remember it's on your Desktop) and click the Insert Image button.
    ⌘ Shift 4 and then pressing the space bar captures the frontmost window.
    ⌘ Shift 3 captures the entire screen.
    Drag the screenshot to the Trash after you post your reply.

  • HELP. BlueScreen? Don't know what's going on.

    I own a Lenovo T500.  Have owned it since December, 2009.  The computer will sometimes react in one of the following ways:
    1 - It emits a loud buzzing sound and freezes.  This continues until the computer shuts off and restarts.  The buzzing sound is, I imagine, the result of audio freezing [music or video].
    2 - The screen simply goes black and stays that way until the computer shuts off and restarts.  No sound.  Just a black screen.
    This happens on and off, sometimes going days without an incident, and other times happening 8 times in 6 minutes [like today].  I am furious, and do not recall when it started happening, exactly.  Google searches have led me to believe that this is related to my video drivers not functioning / needing to be updated / etc.  Can anyone tell me what is wrong here?
    The last two messages the computer displayed on startup were:

  • I don't know what is going on with my mac. (10.9.5) Do I have a virus? What to do?

    I accidentally clicked a link and downloaded something I did not mean to. I put in my administrators password and it downloaded. Now every time I click on Safari, instead of google as my home page like normal, it redirects me to this "Only Search" site which has a lot of ads and looks like a very shady evil twin of google. Also whenever I click a link, an ad pops up in another tab. I have pop ups blocked in my settings, I have also tried multiple times to change my home page back to google. But each time it changes itself back to the "Only Search" site. Computer is also being very slow and laggy. Do I have a virus or trojan? If so what do I do about it?

    Click here and follow the instructions, or if you'd rather use removal software, download and run Adware Medic. The second link is a direct download; if it gives you an error message, see this page.

  • TS1741 The apps can't found Apple TV. Already checked both are on the same network. And I use it before. Don't know what's going wrong.

    The airplay and remote always have problem
    I always have problem when connect my iPhone and iPad with Apple TV.
    I did restart all the devices and router.
    Something wait a few hours it will work again.
    Anyone can help?

    Answers can only be as helpful as the details provided, and there is very little hear to go on.  What happens when you try to connect?  Is there an error?  If so what does it say.  How are the devices connected?  WiFi, Ethernet?  Which ver of ATV do you have?  Best guess is that you are using WiFi and the probably go away if you use a wired connection to ATV.

  • Weirdest Thing. Don't know what's going on. Help!

    So this isn't really a huge deal, it's just kind of annoying and also makes me a little worried that something else might be wrong that might be a problem.
    I'm not sure how to explain it, so I'll say it the best way I can. Every time my mouse pointer passes the middle of my display the display moves up and down. So like, if my mouse goes toward the bottom half of the screen, once it hits the middle of the display, the screen moves up ever so slightly. If I move the mouse toward the top, the display moves down. It's so slight that I didn't even notice it much, but if I look at my dock and the bottom of my internet browser, it's definitely noticeable. Also, the things on my page become slightly blurry if my mouse goes above the middle of the display, and becomes clearer if I pull it to the bottom.
    Does any of that make sense? It's so weird and I'm pretty sure it just started happening in the past couple days. I can try to explain it further if needed.
    Thanks!

    Your display is zoomed in slightly.
    Open System Preferences +Universal Access+ pane Seeing tab. Make sure Zoom is turned off. You may have inadvertently enabled it with a keystroke.

  • Help! I don't know what's going on

    Recently my MacBook screen has been going black. Either in the middle of working or if I open the laptop too fast. If I close it almost all the way and then re-open it very slowly it will come back up bright (but I can't have it all the way open) and this could take up to 5 tries to find the right spot to stop. Other than that it works fine, it's just annoying as ****.
    Any suggestions??
    I'm not computer savy so keep it simple lol

    These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here - I've asked the hosts to remove your phone number from your post.
    If you are being asked to enter payment details when trying to download app updates then that doesn't mean that you will be charged for them (though if you do add a card you may get a small temporary store holding charge applied).
