Lacie iamakey "private" problem

I own a Lacie iamakey thumb drive that includes a private encrypted partition, accessed by clicking lacie-private.app on the thumb drive itself.  The .app is visible and works fine on my iMac running OS 10.5.8; however, y Mac Air running Lion does not show the .app button of the thumb drive.  Lacie says this is an Apple issue.  Any thoughts?

It may be that in order to have greater compatibility at the time, LaCie ported the application as a PowerPC app, and not an intel app. I have another USB thumb-drive with the same problem. The drive came with an app in both Mac and PC versions, but the Mac version is a PowerPC app, and when Lion arrived without Rosetta support, the drive software no longer functions on Macs running Lion.

  • Logic Ex7 motu896 & Lacie drive ?problems!

    I just picked up an 896, all works fine but i can't get it to record to my Lacie drive (250G). The sound is messed up, Glich and pops and stuff and then i get an Error message "Error while trying to sync audio and midi" Logic records fine

    Hi,
    There are several possibilities:
    1.The drive is not formatted correctly.Chck to see the drive has Mac OS Extended Journaled formatting,as this is the recommended format.
    2.The order in which the audio interface and the LaCie drive can be changed.Try reversing the order in which the audio interface and the drive are connected to the computer.This sometimes works,for no apparent reason.
    3.Are the pops and glitches on the recording themselves? Do you see them in the audio files,or are they occurring during playback only? Please check and audio file to verify which is occurring.
    If the recordings themselves (the audio files) do not display the glitches and pops,then most likely it is an audio interface problem.Perhaps the drivers are not current,or the firmware needs to be updated.Check with Motu for this.
    If the recordings ARE infested with the glitches,then it could be a faulty hard drive.Please talk to LaCie abouth this,to get a replacement drive.
    I hope this helps you out,
    Cheers

  • Another LaCie DVD burner problem

    Hi. I’m hoping one of you Mac geniuses out there can help me out. I received a LaCie DVD burner for Christmas, and so far, I can not get it to work with any Mac software. The drive will burn from Toast 7 Platinum (which was included with the drive), but that’s it. More details:
    1. LaCie’s DiscRecording would not install (this should have been my first clue!). So I wrote LaCie Tech Support, and they told me how to manually install the software. This involved creating a DiscRecording folder in the Library on my hard drive. Next I created a DeviceProfiles folder in the DiscRecording folder. Then I dragged the “lacie.drprofile” (from their software disc) to the DeviceProfiles folder, and restarted my computer, as per instructions. This should have fixed everything.
    2. I assembled a slide show in iDVD, and went to burn it on my new drive. It whirred for about 3 seconds, and spit out the disc. I received 2 error messages:
    #1. BURNING COMPLETE
    There were some errors:
    Recording engine: internal error occured
    #2. MULTIPLEXER ERROR
    There was a problem during multiplexing/burning
    3. So I decided to try saving my slide show as a disk image, and burn it from Disk Utilities. I inserted a DVD+R disc into the drive, it whirred for a few seconds, then told me the blank DVD that I inserted didn’t have enough room to hold my slide show (the file size is 270mb). After reading of other people’s problems here on the forum, I decided to try again, this time with a DVD-R disc (still using Disk Utilities). I inserted the disc, the drive whirred, and....nothing. The burn box said “Waiting for the drive”, only the drive wasn’t doing anything!!! The little lamp signifying drive activity was dark. And the disc wouldn’t eject!
    LaCie Tech Support says as long as the drive burns from their software (Toast), everything is OK. I’m stumped. Any ideas? I’m just about ready to take the drive back and get a different brand. Any recommendations? Thanks.

    Buhtwheat,
    Thanks for replying. In response to your questions:
    Toast will not burn my disk image, it says .img files
    are not supported.
    Can you play the image file using Apple's DVD Player application?
    This is a critical step - double-click on the image file to mount it on your desktop. Open the DVD Player application (in your Applications folder) - select File>Open DVD media and select the VIDEO_TS folder on the mounted image file. Does it play? If so, iDVD is working. I know you've already tried DU, but please try again -try to use Apple's Disk Utility (in your Applications>Utilities folder) to burn the disk image to writable media. See Burning a disk image file on a CD or DVD in Mac OS X at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93006 Does Disk Utility see your burner? What errors do you see?
    The Toast version usually shipped with burners is 'crippled' and can't do everything a full version does. What version of Toast do you have - 6 or 7?
    Roxio changed the user interfacer in the different versions and the way you things can be very different in the different versions.
    iTunes recognizes the drive.
    I think that's a good sign.

  • New 2.66Ghz 12-core Mac Pro - Two LaCie 730 Monitor Problems - Help Please

    Hello:
    I just got a new 12-core machine with the 5870 video card to power two LaCie 730 (30" LCD) monitors which give 125% of Adobe 1998. I do a lot of photo editing and want to use the 2560x1600 resolution on the 730. The monitor connected to the DVI port works and looks great. The other monitor, connected to a Mini-Display port only gives me 1280x800, which looks pretty crappy on 30".
    Is there a solution to my problem? I thought the 5870 would power two displays like this.
    Any help greatly appreciated as I am a photographer and not a computer expert.
    Cheers,
    Mike

    be sure the USB dongle is plugged in
    The adapter is an active adapter and needs power from USB to work
    Unfortunately, we are once again having the future forced down our throats whether we are ready or not.
    The legacy DVI component of DP is of the single link variety, hence the 1280x800. Best it will do is 1920x1200 when you use a passive adapter. It is passing through a signal generated on the card. The spec only allows for single link support via this pass through.
    DO PC users have same issue? Yes and no. I got my first 5870 when they were hot new thing, nearly a year ago. I was eager to try Eyefinity. Through a painful learning process I discovered that 5870 could generate 2 DVI signals. DVI clock signal comes from card, DP clock is from display. The 3rd signal HAD to be a genuine DP signal. If you look in the forum posts of nearly a year ago you will see quite a bit of whining as PC folk realized that they needed an active adapter to run 3 @ DVI displays. I was one of first to reason that Apple's DUal Link adapter would do this. Worked great, I played various PC games in wrap around beauty with help of Apple's MDP to Dual Link adapter.
    Fast forward to today. Since Apple has turned one of the PC card's DVI ports into an MDP port, to run 2 DVIs of greater than 1920x1200 res is going to need one of these adapters. To run 3 is going to require 2. So, easier to buy a 27" MDP display, it won't need an adapter.

  • Triple Lacie 500GB no problems, until now

    Hello everyone, I have a Mac pro and a Cinema display.
    I work on postproduction and video, therefore my average filesize goes from 1GB to 4GB, so I need to have a lot of storage room.
    so I have Three Lacies (500GB each) connected to my Macpro.
    two of them with the FW800 back and front, and a FW400 front.
    those are the only external devices I use, I have been using them this way for more than 6 months now.
    but today all of a sudden the system would not recognize them, I tried turning them off and on again.
    unplug them, reset the computer, turn it off for a while.
    but nothing.
    So I just unplugged everything even the UPS. and waited for half an hour, then I plugged everything in again and they worked again.
    Is this normal, and I shouln't worry about it?
    Or is this like a warning and something worse could happen?
    If you got any ideas I would apreciate them very much thank you.

    I would....
    switch to native SATA. Invest in PCIe controller and Firmtek 5PM case.
    avoid those LaCie for anything serious and just use for backups.
    If you feel you must use Firewire, and I don't, and I would definitely avoid LaCie, invest in a couple FW800 PCIe controllers, but not worth the cost or taking up PCI slots for what you get in return compared to SATA. You'll be happier and get great performance and be able to setup stripped RAIDs for your needs.

  • Lacie external hard problem ..

    hi folks ..
    by lacie hard drive is working great on my ibook g4 (OS X 10.3.9). But it doesnt mount on my pc. it was formated as Mac OS Extended (journaled).
    1. how do i resolve this issue without having to reformat the drive.
    2. also, i partitioned the drive. is there a way of formating one partition so that be mounted on a pc?
    thank you

    Hi Sophist,
    The Mac OS X Extended or HFS+ is only for Macintosh; it is not Windows compatible. You can do what John suggested and make two partitions, or format it in FAT32 (in Disk Utility I believe they call it MSDOS). FAT32 is compatible with both, but HFS+ works smoother with the Mac OS X platform.

  • Using LaCie's 2 TB Little Big Disk with Thunderbolt

    My system is a 2011 MacBook Pro 2.5GHz with 4 GB memory running Mac OS X 10.7.2 with all latest OS updates.
    First I must say this device is very cool, stylish, functions well and performs well. However, performance correlates with file sizes and the RAID-0 block size chosen. One must experiment some with this to obtain the required performance.
    Using Disk Utility's software RAID features I reconfigured the 2 TB into 3 RAID-0 partitions. One was a RAID-0 with size of 150 GB; one was another RAID-0 with size of 150 GB; and a third RAID-0 was the remaining size of 1.7 TB. My intent was to use the two 150 GB RAID-0 partitions for cloning my internal HD's boot volume, and the 1.7 TB partition for user data.
    I've used CCC to try to create the "HD Recovery" partition on the RAID-0 150 GB partition and CCC refuses and aborts with error saying it cannot perform the task. I've not figured out how to resolve this yet. Question: If anyone has a fix for this please respond... thanks.
    I was able to clone to the RAID-0 150 GB partition using both SD! and CCC. My first attempt to boot from this LaCie RAID-0 150 GB partition failed for some reason even after selecting it in the Startup Disk panel. The display simply showed the "no entry" logo indicating it could not detect a bootable image. I used a Restart with Option key pressed to get to the boot menu and then selected the LaCie and it booted nicely. Running the system from the LaCie was no problem and performance of the system was acceptable.
    Using AJA, the best performance I've seen writing and reading a 20 GB file created with Apple's mkfile command was around 150 MB/sec. Not too shabby IMO.
    I do not have any issue with the units fan noise as it's not objectionable to my ears. Hiding it under desk or in desk enclosure eliminates most of the noise for me.
    I did connect the LaCie's 2nd Thunderbolt port to my 60" Sony Bravia flat screen and the color rendition was awful. Connecting the Sony directly to my 2011 MacBook Pro's Thunderbolt port produced excellent color rendition on the TV screen. Called LaCie Tech Help and they simply said connect TV to the LaCie was not tested and not supported... only Thunderbolt devices are supported...!!!! (Shame)
    The Desktop icon for the LaCie Thunderbolt device is boring and has no Thunderbolt lightening logo on its face... (shame), and Apple should/will fix this hopefully.
    The power brick is really not too large -- slightly smaller than a cigarette box of 20 and just a bit thicker... 3" long, 1.5" deep and 2" wide.
    I would certainly recommend this device to a friend.
    Overall, I give this unit 4 stars after having used it for a week.

    Have you checked to see what kind of times are you getting when booting from the LBD?  An internal SSD is most probably faster but for those with standard HDD in their Macbook Pros it would be interesting to see what kinds of boot times you can get with this thing.

  • Mounting problems after upgrade to iTunes 7.6.1

    This house has two Mac laptops, both running the latest 10.4.11.
    1. After the install yesterday of iTunes 7.6.1 (9), the iBook would not mount applications downloaded as disk images. This I repaired by removing two 'now' unacceptable fonts in the System Collection. However, it now fails to verify most CDs it writes, which are Taiyo Yuden CD-R 52x. (An earlier sporatic problem, I believe Apple had attributed to its failure to stabilize the Firewire bus sufficiently before using it.)
    2. Yesterday I installed iTunes on a G4 PowerBook at the same time. Before the install it had never written a coaster, using Verbatim and Taiyo Yuden media. An hour before installing it, I had archived 1/3 of the drive to Taiyo Yuden DVD-R 16x discs (TYG03), which the drive can write to. (Caution: using these discs on some older drives will damage them!)
    After the install of iTunes, file-system check, permission fix, reboot, the G4 will burn no DVD. It creates the disc image, then reads the first track of the disc and (before writing a thing),
    DVDSpanner: Burn started, Sun Feb 24 22:37:09 2008
    DVDSpanner: Burning to DVD-R media with DAO strategy in TSSTcorp CD/DVDW SH-S182M LA00 via FireWire.
    DVDSpanner: Requested burn speed was 47x, actual burn speed is 18x.
    DVDSpanner: Burn underrun protection is supported, and enabled.
    DVDSpanner: Burn failed, Sun Feb 24 22:37:16 2008
    DVDSpanner: Burn sense: 5/24/00 Illegal Request, Invalid field in CDB
    DVDSpanner: Burn error: 0x80020022 The device failed to respond properly, unable to recover or retry.
    Does anyone know what a CDB is?
    I suspect iTunes the cause because of the fact that both computers failed only & just after iTunes was installed, iTunes writes to optical media, 10.4.9 damaged the LaCie driver, and problems 1 and 2 may both be classed as problems mounting devices.
    Any kludges or suggestions? Thanks!
    Bruce

    No need to all respond at once, I've fixed the computer; though this doesn't solve the problem, if it existed; and now makes that moot.
    All the various applications, but Toast apparently, use the same 'device driver' and consequent log file. LaCie's 'disc recording support' driver is now dated February 15, 2008 (on its website only). So, though it looks the same to me, I had an excuse to upgrade to the same one installed earlier. All works now.
    This is a sad application of the professional's last maxim: 'When all seems lost, re-install.' So, I'm marking this solved, though this form of solution is the least desirable: it may be only temporary; and now one can't tell.
    Thanks to all who thought about it.

  • Spinning ball, finder freezes & LaCie HD fails

    Oh Hi!! Not sure where to put this at all as I seem to ahve multiple problems which is either a coincidence or something/onething is seriously wrong. I have been working fine for months with my external HD, DVD drive & MBP but over the last few days i have experienced problems with all 3. Granted, the MBP is quite old now and I am running FCP on it at times but this has been fine for a while too. The 1st thing to show was the lacie DVD drive suddenly showing me error messages when trying to mount blank dics - after a few times shutting off and on I have managed to get that working again.
    Thinking no more of it, today i was working on the mbp in Word and had a spinning ball for so long i had to force quit to get any further - this is quite unusual and i have to say, since then things have not been so sweet.
    After finishing that work I put my external d2 on to do some video stuff with FCP and the lacie HD made the strangest whirring noises which i have not heard before. FCP froxe so i forced quite again without ejecting HD and things went from bad to worse. Unplugged (including power cable) ext HD for 30mins, plugged back in & switched on and all it did was make ticking noises for 15mins before finally mounting (phew - haven't backed up onto disc in ages). However, when i try to go through finder to a file on the lacie when it is sleep-mode - it then causes Finder to start spinning that ball again until i have to force quit.
    Sorry for the lengthy description but i don't know whether i have lacie ext HD problems, or is it MBP and appls/finder or.........?????
    Does anyone have any ideas on this or where i should start to try and solve it?
    Many thanks for any info or advice
    Jo

    thankyou both for your responses!
    i will check clock battery - ths is a new one to me so would not have thought about it at all......
    I have been using the same DVDs CDs for months with this equipment ad has always been ok till now - philips dvd-r?
    I will have to try and get d2 ext mounted today to do some backing-up, i know, i'm so lazy but i got quite complacent with the lacie ext as everything is backed-up into that and i hoped i was doing enough.
    the ext. HD is only a year old and I wouldn't expect that to fail yet - it's only on when i'm using video and backing-up so hardly overworked.
    we'll see what happens today
    thanks again for your thougts for now

  • Video capture problem

    Hi, I'm using a 1 TB External LaCie HDD. I want to capture video from MiniDV tapes through a DV Deck, directly on to the LaCie.
    The problem is, my Mac Mini has only one Firewire 400 port & the Lacie also has only one Firewire 400 port (it has two Firewire 800 ports though). Additionally, the DV Deck I'm using only has a 4-pin Firewire port.
    Please advise how I can make this configuration work.

    You could daisy chain the DV deck to the LaCie HD to your Mac Mini: use a FW400 to FW800 cable to connect one FW800 port of the HD to the FW400 port of your Mac, and use a 4pin to 6pin FW400 cable to connect the DV deck to the only FW400 port of the HD.
    This assumes that the DV deck works when daisy chained with the LaCie; in theory it should, but there are some devices (e.g. some Canon cameras) that are known to misbehave in such configuration. This might not be a problem for you: if you get the cables you need you may just try and see the results.

  • Problems with establishing daisy chain, FW800

    Hi there!
    I am experiencing some weird problems when trying to daisy chain two or more drives with FW800.
    It was working fine until yesterday, when suddenly the second drive in the chain wouldn't show up in finder. Also, connecting/disconnecting the cable from the second drive caused the first drive to be disconnected.
    So using one drive works fine, but connecting another in a daisy chain does nothing except occasionally disconnect the first drive.
    I was running a daisy chain with three drives yesterday with no problems.
    I have tried swapping cables, rebooting the drives and the Macbook Pro, and using different combinations of the harddrives - no change.
    Seems to me that the source of the trouble is the Macbook Pro. It could possibly be a hardware issue, but I find it weird that a single drive on FW800 works fine...
    Anybody got any ideas?
    - MacBook Pro (late 2008), Snow Leo (10.6.4), 2x Lacie d2 Quadra

    The problem is that this could be tough to troubleshoot if it is a power supply, as the offending drive will attempt to pull the juice it needs to keep running from the FireWire bus.

  • LaCie External Disk Suddenly not on Desktop

    I've had a LaCie External Hard Drive (Firewire) connected to my iMac for about six months without any problems. I use it for backup, and use software (SuperDuper) to make it bootable.
    Suddenly, today, it's not showing up on my desktop. The System Profiler sees it under Firewire as "Unknown Device." I've tried switching ports (I use both Firewire and USB) and testing my USB hub to no avail. I also powered down the computer for ten minutes and then rebooted.
    I just read somewhere that LaCie drives have problems with the power supply, but I don't know how I would use this information.
    Any ideas or suggestions are welcome.
    I've also contacted LaCie support via email (as they charge for phone support!)
    Thanks,
    Donna

    Have you tried using Disk Utility's 'repair disk' function on the LaCie external drive
    to see if some basic issue in the drive's software function could be repaired by it?
    In some cases, where a bootable system in an external is involved, there may be
    an issue similar to that of the internal hard disk's system, when a third-party disk
    utility such as DiskWarrior, may be used to attempt to rebuild or replace a directory.
    Not certain what path is best or most likely, but do know some LaCie issues include
    a power surge from the computer on startup that could affect some models of LaCie
    external drive via FireWire port; so if the external FW drive is not needed all the time
    and the computer is attached, consider not plugging in the LaCie's FW cable if you
    do not intend to use the drive. I leave one of my LaCie's in its box when not in use,
    and a second one has both the power adapter and FW cable, not attached to anything.
    The one issue some had, was a surge; that affected the circuitry in the enclosure. But
    this is not likely to produce the issue you refer to in your inquiry. However, a replacement
    power supply of similar spec to replace a suspect LaCie supplied one, is probably handy
    to have as a backup to the original part. Even if from a different manufacturer.
    Some of the LaCie forums have some information or ideas on what others have tried;
    and when tracking down info on one model I was given (that has a mixed history) I
    was curious as to what caused several of them to fail. One I bought to troubleshoot
    a failed iMac G4 under AppleCare when the supposed expert authorized resellers in
    my region were unable to find anything wrong, and I could reproduce the issue on
    demand repeatedly, and my iMac would freeze solid. And my notes of experiences in
    dealing with the computer were disregarded; so I took matters into my own hands.
    The LaCie Porsche-design external FW HDD enclosure so far has been flawless; but
    this other D2 or whatever (not thinking clear; getting an interruption at the moment) is
    likely to fail first; starting with a noisy hard drive sound inside the case.
    You may be able to try to fix the mount issue of that LaCie by using a third-party disk
    utility; sometimes, issues result from improper mounting or re-mounting of a peripheral.
    Can you get the external drive to mount correctly via your computer's Disk Utility? Not
    sure if that is capable of fixing a mount issue, in that instance; but DiskWarrior may. A
    correct version of Drive Genius may also have a tool capable of this job. I have not been
    impressed with two versions of drive genius; and I was lucky to have full bootable clones.
    Perhaps a more seasoned veteran of these battles can offer a more clear position to take.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • LaCie Drives crash Finder

    I searched all over and could not find a similar situation. Suddenly today my Finder starts to crash. I was listening to iTunes - the songs reside on a LaCie 2bid RAID connected via Firewire 800. I turned off the drive and I get the device removal error and Finder suddenly pops up. I tried different ports first - 800, 400 and USB. Same thing. I have the MacBook Pro Intel version (Leopard 10.5.2) - I removed all USB and Firewire devices and rebooted. Same thing.
    Of note, I could open the programs that are on the dock, and while the iTunes was running, I could still see the files on the drive.
    Next I tried to remove the com.apple.finder.plst file - that did not work.
    I have two other LaCies - a rugged and the old d2. Those behaved the same way - Finder crashing. The Console error says "Bus Error" and repeats every second when the drive is attached.
    The last thing I tried was a Fujitsu drive in some external case I got from New Egg and that drive connected just fine. No crashing, and I can access files.
    I downloaded and installed nothing in the past few days, and the LaCie was working fine. As I said, it just started to do this on its own.
    Any ideas? If the LaCies are a problem, I need to find a way to get to my data!
    Thanks.

    Hmm. I wonder if the problem is related to the Knowledge Base article that Apple recently published (it is one of the strangest I have ever seen). See it here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=307502
    It does involve Finder crashes and external drives, but the drive name causing the problem discussed is the startup drive, as given in the Sharing Prefs. Worth a look I think.

  • Usb lacie key drive no longer recognized

    Hi. I'm on a 17" MacBook Pro (from summer 2008), and all of a sudden it's unable to mount my USB thumb drive (LaCie iamaKey USB Flash Drive). The drive doesn't show up on my desktop or in the System Profiler. It shows up on some other laptops (but not others) and on the one tower in my studio. Other USB drives do work on my machine, so I'm kind of at a loss.
    I've repartitioned and erased the drive, but still no luck.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks,
    ben

    No, there is no way to increase the power provided by your USB ports, and no setting that would affect that. Get a different flash drive. There's no excuse for a flash drive drawing too much bus power — in fact I've never heard of that happening before. Every PB G4 model had trouble supplying enough power to bus-powered USB devices, but in five years of daily reading and posting in the PB G4 forums, I never heard of a flash drive that couldn't get adequate power even from a Powerbook.

  • Time Machine sets Lacie as a Read Only Device

    I found the threads that suggest the verify / repair permissions and that cleared the "Read Only" problem. However, I am getting often errors just launching the "Disk Utility" from the main hard disk (not the Time Machine Lacie) with this crash dump.
