LaCie d2 3T Freezes Mac but works in Windows

I'm hoping someone has seen this and can help me.  I have a LaCie d2 3T drive for about a bit over 1 year and is been working fine, one day for no reason and with no changes to my iMac 2013 (max out model) running Maverick (latest update at the time of writing this) it started freezing the machine and then eventually forcing a reboot.  As soon as the LaCie is removed or turned off the machine works flawlessly.  If I take the same drive into ANY Windows machine it works FLAWLESSLY even the Mac formatted partitions I can see and get to my data from Windows using an HFS explorer app. The drive has run with no issue for an entire day in Windows.  LaCie support has no idea what the issue is and want me to send it to them which I'm reluctant as I believe there is no issue with the drive since it works in Windows.  Also called Apple Care and they gentlemen on the other end had no idea on how to fix or what can be cause this he just blamed the hard drive as the culprit.   Can someone shed some light on this.  Greatly appreciated!!!

RogerioNT,
Which USB port are you connecting it to?
iPhoto will transfer over a USB 1.1 connection, and many hubs are USB 1.1. Try connecting the iPhone directly to the back of the computer.
Hope this helps,

  • .mov Files not working in Mac but working on Windows

    I use a Kodak 10MP digital camera to click. I use it to shoot some videos too.
    I had some videos taken earlier on the camera and used to view them on windows. Just bought a Macbook a few days ago, and all those videos worked fine (transfered using an external drive). But there is something I m so confused with now.
    All the videos I shoot now, iPhoto does not import (hangs). I copied the video to windows where I could see all easily, and copied it to a pen drive. But sadly even trying to open them on pen drive doesn't work. It says its not a .mov file (dimension: -- --) whereas earlier videos be it 640x480 or HD worked fine. Do note videos are working on Windows. I have Quicktime 10.0 and player 7 installed.
    Please help.

    Won't you mid it AMAZING
    Windows Quicktime and VLC are playing the files easily. Mac OS X is not. aren't mov files exclusive to Apple?
    There are no picture settings on the camera (heck the camera is so bad you can't do anything even on trying). How is this possible that old videos worked and new aren't. I can't even sleep until I understand.
    Already feeling going the Mac way wasn't the right choice. Should have stuck with Windows.

  • Serial number not accepted lightroom MAC but works on windows

    loaded a test version of lightroom on MAC. Tried to add the serial number but number was not accepted.
    Installed Lightroom on Windows PC and entered the serial number and this works fine.
    Why can I not add the same number on my MACbook?

    Christian the version available through the Creative Cloud Desktop application is designed for subscription customers.  Please run the uninstaller for Photoshop Lightroom located in the Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder.
    Once you have installed the subscription version you can download the full version from Adobe - Lightroom : For Macintosh.  Each update contains the full installation files so please download the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.7.1.
    If you do not have a Creative Cloud or Individual membership then I would recommend removing the Creative Cloud Desktop application.  It is designed as an installation mechanism for individuals who have an active membership.

  • IPod not showing up at all on Mac but works fine on Windows?

    I've been searching for an answer on these discussion boards for hours and have not yet found any situation that was quite like mine and I'm getting a bit frazzled and worried.
    I have a 120GB iPod classic, which I've used for two years with an ACER laptop and it works perfectly. Two months ago, I switched to a Macbook Pro and synced my iPod with it; again everything worked fine. My iPod was synced with the Mac and all the new music had been transferred.
    Today, I've been trying to connect my iPod to my Mac but nothing happens. It only charges (and I can't even be sure that it IS charging because the charging green sign does not show up on the iPod). It does not show up in Finder, or in the iTunes source list; it does not sync. I've reset it a billion times, restarted my mac, switched USB cords and USB ports, even downloaded and installed every software update imaginable but nothing is working.
    If I leave the iPod connected to the Mac for a while, something even more alarming happens. It connects for around 3 seconds, and then ejects itself repeatedly. It's like watching someone go insane.
    Naturally, I freaked out and tried to connect the iPod to a PC and it is working perfectly on the PC. Please, someone help. I have no idea what's going on.

    Did you download and install the latest version of ITunes over the existing installation?

  • Swf runs at wrong frames per second in Safari and Firefox on Mac, but works good in Chrome

    Has anyone had this issue? I have a swf that plays at 30 fps.  It works fine in Chrome on the Mac, but in Safari and Firefox it runs at around 53 fps.  I'm even setting the frameRate of the stage (stage.frameRate = 30).
    any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Hi stantony1, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Wow, great work so far!
    Temperature monitor within safe ranges under 70C for everything.
    Hopefully way under, like under 60°C.?
    MEMTEST Passed, no errors
    The Memory test can really only be trusted if it finds a problem, not if it doesn't find a problem.
    Memtest OS X...

    Rember is a freeware GUI for the memtest ...
    http://tech.kateva.org/2005/10/rember-freeware-memory-test-utility.html
    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Does ȃfari crash it in Safe Mode???
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport in 10.4 & below.

  • Sync Settings works on the Mac, but not in Windows

    On my Mac (Mountain Lion), the Sync Settings screen in Preferences is bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. I can choose any of the options. But on my Windows 8.1 machine, the Sync Settings options are all checked, but grayed-out. The Sync Now button is also grayed-out. Where it says "Signed in as", it's blank; it doesn't show my account name. But when I click the Manage Account button, it takes me to my CC page (creative.adobe.com/files) and I can see my stuff.
    I just updated all the CC apps, but these options are still grayed-out. Anyone know why?

    Hi Ty
    Always arrange pictures on your page. Select them and used Send backwards (button under). Do this till the button is grey. Now your pictures are under the text. Otherwise there is a mask over the text.

  • Officejet A909a prints from mac but when from windows "out of paper" message appears.

    I have an older 8500 which has been very loyal to me and I have looking after it well, which is now pushing 4000 pages.  However i went to print a file from my Windows 7 PC yesterday which is connected via usb, and it wouldnt print saying it was out of paper (which it wasn't) about half full . So i tried again no luck. UN-installed then reinstalled the printer still noting. went to my work laptop (windows 7) which is connected wirelessly through the network, same again "no paper" message appears. i thought this is strange turned it off back on still nothing even after disconnecting it from the mains for a few minutes, nothing the same message still appears. 
    However, my son has a mac book pro and he just printed his coursework off the printer effortlessly through my network. so i know the printer is fine especially as i have now printed self test pages off through the printer itself.
    I have no idea what to do now, as i have tried uninstalling then installing, printing via usb and network. and when i say "out of paper" i mean the printer receives the print command from my computer as it tries to feed paper a few times but cant pick it up also i have tried with various paper levels in the printer (full, half, about 20 pages, 1 single page)
    Please help.

    Hello @Dangerous97,
    I understand that when printing from your 2 Windows 7 computers you receive an 'out of paper' message after your HP Officejet Pro 8500 All-in-One Printer struggles and fails to pick up paper. However, you are able to print from a Mac computer. This is very unusual behaviour!  I would like to assist you today with resolving this issue. Also, thank you for including that you are able to print self-test pages from the printer with no issues as well.
    Generally, 'out of paper' messages are caused by a hardware issue with the printer itself. Because you are able to print standalone to your printer and from a Mac, there may be an issue with the documents that you're trying to print from your Windows 7 computer or a programming issue with your printer.
    With that being said, to start I would like you to click here to download and install the latest programming Firmware Update on your printer. Once the website opens select the Download button on the top left. Once the download is complete, please follow any onscreen instructions to send the update to your printer.
    Once the Firmware has been successfully updated, please test printing again.
    Please respond to this post with the result of the Firmware Update. Good luck!

  • Does the Adobe suit for Mac also work on windows computers?

    I am looking to buy the creative suit for my mac, but i just want to make sure it also works on windows. All it says on the box is CSS

    Yes. CSS will work on both OS X and Windows. But you must have the correct version for each.
    So if you are going to run CSS on both a Mac and a PC, you are going to have to purchase two copies, one for the Mac and one for the PC.

  • Airtunes streaming skips in iTunes 10 Mac but not iTunes windows

    I have had problems with airtunes for a fair while now, definately the whole time i've had itunes 10, but recently noticed that using the same computer (MBP booted to Windows 7 using iTunes Windows) it streams perfectly. So now I'm really confused. Help!
    Problem:
    Here is the problem. Mac iTunes 10, play music streaming to me Airport express, will start to play then stop, pause, start, pause, play.... aarrrggg. Doesn't matter which song.
    Environment:
    I have Airport Extreme connected to Linksys modem. Wireless g/n network connecting to Airport express which is hard wired to stereo. Wireless network is perfect except for this airtunes issue, and support various mobile devices plus n and g apple notebooks. My main computer is Macbook Pro with dual boot windows 7 and mac snow leopard. I've recently found that itunes only behaves badly in Mac mode!
    Diagnosis:
    Have tried switching wireless channel from 1, 7, 11 etc to remove interferrence - but identified that this does not remove the issue.
    Have tried streaming airtunes from iTunes windows on same computer and works FINE
    Have tried streaming airtunes from iTunes on iPhone 3GS with iOS5 and works about 50% (skipping, but not as bad as from mac, but unacceptable quality)
    Have tried streaming airtunes from iTunes on Macbook Pro with snow leopard and iTunes 10 and basically skips constantly

  • . mov files playing fine on a Mac, but not on Windows with Quicktime 7.2

    I have a few .mov clips that were created in Final Cut Pro and that I need to use on a Windows PC. They are playing fine in Quicktime 7.2 on my MacBook, but on the Windows machine, the files play only audio, no video. The screen is white.
    I've tried to play these files in the Divx and VCL players, but they don't work there either.
    Is there a reason these files would only work on a Mac?
    --- As an aside, after installing 7.2 on above mentioned PC (running Vista), NONE of the .mov files on my hard drive run properly anymore. They are either jerky or "white". They will play fine in the VLC player. I've reinstalled quicktime; no difference. All these files were working fine in Quicktime before the upgrade.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Cheers, Johannes

    Here's Avids answer:
    Pro50 codecs only work in Macs, so the original files need to be EXPORTED from FCP with a special codec Avid created for Mac.
    So that's that issue solved ... hopefully, let's see after the next export.
    But .mov files are still screwed up on my PC.
    Kirk - I did reboot the machine in SafeMode, reinstalled QT, but nope - version 7.2. still doesn't play any .mov files properly that are stored on my C-drive that previously were just fine.
    Thanks again.

  • Firefox has stopped working in Windows 7 but works in Windows safe mode

    I am sending this from a different computer on which Firefox works fine. My problem is on a Windows 7 PC -- in the past few days Firefox has stopped working in normal mode but works ok in Windows safe mode. I keep getting a Windows error message that it has stopped working and I will be notified if there is a solution. Of course, I am never notified. I have tried resetting Firefox when in Windows safe mode, as well as uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, after having deleted all the program folders and appdate. I've exhausted every possible fix I could find in the Mozilla support forums but I still can's solve the problem. Can you help please?

  • Hard drive recognized in mac but not in windows

    Hi, I have an external hard drive which I loaded up from my Mac originally and has only been used in my Mac since.
    Today, I plugged it into a Windows computer and it would not show up in My Computer...
    does anyone know why my external hard drive is recognized just fine on my Mac, but doesn't show up in the Windows computer?
    If it has to do with naming my hard drive, how do I do it correctly on the Mac?
    Thanks!

    That's really a question you should be asking Microsoft, however it may have to do with the way the EHD is formatted. Is it formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) or is it formatted another way. You can check this by right clicking the EHD, and selecting Information. Of you can select the EHD in Finder and type Command I.
