There is no display on Apple Thunderbolt display, when Daisy chain connect with six LaCie Little Big Disks.

Hi, Everyone,
I have aquestion with Thunderbolt daisy chan.
I have six LaCie Little Big Disks and Apple Thunderbolt Display to make daisy chan and I got a problem.
I place the Apple Thunderbolt Display at the end of the chain, and six LaCie Little Big Disks infront, and Apple Thunderbolt Display does not show anything.
If I plac the dell u2711 (DP1.1) Display at the end of the chain, and six LaCie Little Big Disks infront , dell u2711(DP1.1) displays.
If I place the Apple Thunderbolt Display at the end of the chain,and five LaCie Little Big Disks infront. Apple Thunderbolt Displays well.
Is it because the hardware limitation that Thunderbolt daisy chan can only have maximum 6 Thunderbolt deivce?
Apple Thunderbolt Display Should be DP1.2, why it doesn’t display?
My workstation running Windows 7x64 or Windows8.1x64
Thanks ,Myron

if you reduce the number of disks to 5 and the display works, I think we'll have your answer.

1TB LaCie ETHERNET BIG DISK U , doe not work with time machine!

as many have already found out this huge drive is a bookend unless apple make a fix! Soon.

I have the same ethernet drive, and I was able to get it to work using the method outlined in this topic http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1199783&tstart=0. Note that you can only access the backed up files by browsing other time machine disks, but it works.
By the way, is your ethernet disk as horribly slow as mine is? I max out at about 10 megabytes per second on a good day resulting transfers being no faster than to my 100 megabit per sec connection to my iMac G4.

Disk Warrior and a Lacie little big drive

Hi
I have a 5 month old Lacie little big drive which I use for back ups etc. Yesterday I plugged it in and got the message ' The disk you inserted is not readable by this computer'
I have tried to see what the problem is through Disk Warrior. DW takes a couple of hours rebuilding the directory structure and mounts the drive.
The problem I have I cannot do anything with the data/drive as it is locked. I have followed the advice in the DW manual and cannot find how to unlock the drive through DU? HELP!

At the end of the DW process, does DW permit you to review the rebuilt directory structure before committing? If so, DW will mount the disk for you to review. At that point, you should have read access to the disk as if it was a regular local volume.
If you cannot figure out how to fix the problem, you can use that feature to copy off your data. If you have enough room on another disk, you can even make a disk image of the "for review" disk using Disk Utility. After making sure the disk image mounts, you can reformat the drive and restore from the disk image.
I did that once when directory damage was too severe for DW to fix completely. However, it let me use that review feature to get most of my data back.

LaCie 1TB Big Disk not mounting as a shared device

Hi!
Today, I purchased a brand new AirPort Extreme 802.11n to replace my now dead NetGear WGR614. The set-up went well, but I have a query.
I also own a LaCie 1TB Big Disk connected to the AEBS via ethernet as a NAS Drive. The disk itself is set-up with Apple File Server and Bonjour Services enabled. With my NetGear WGR614, the hard drive would automatically appear in the Shared Devices column in Finder. The only way I have been able to achieve this same outcome is to log into the drive using Command-K and then adding it to the Login Items in the Accounts Preference Pane. This is so it will automatically appear connected in the Shared Devices column after a restart.
I have spent the morning searching many and varied forums for a solution, but almost all entries deal with USB connected drives.
If anyone has some information they would like to share, it would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks in advance.
Rodger.

Little big disk slow

Hi Forum
I purchased a little big disk 512 ssd for video editing
the unit works great with my laptop achives extreme speeds that i require for handling large projects (well usually 230 gbs per job usually 3 per month)
I recently upgraded to an imac late 2013 model (current model and i maxed out the optionals)
it uses the 3tb fusion drive tho
when i plug in the little big disk into my imac it mounts fine and i can read data fine - however i cannot write data to it at least not quickly it takes 6 hours to transfer 100gb compared to the 10 or so minutes using my laptop
the copy hangs appx every 50mb for about 30 seconds and then jumps up another 50mb (i can confirm the cable is not faulty as i get this result using 2 seperate cables)
i tried all the usual steps - restart - repaired disk permissions - even reset the pRam
i noticed after resetting the pRam that for the first 10 seconds i am able to use the drive normally and then if i have large files copying after about 10 seconds the problem shows again and the copy hangs at the point it got up to (anything i copy in the first 10 seconds is super fast as the drive should be)
my theory and the support at lacie is that somhow the boot drive is interfering with the transfer - the lacie specialist suggests that since fusion drives arent very common yet and havent been tested there may be a conflict ...
i have tried copying from a daisychained thunderbolt drive directly to the new hdd and still experience the problem so i dont think it is a prblem with the internal drive
black magic disk speed test and it show a perfect working disk and gets files on and off it easily but not anything i want to copy will work
it soesnt matter the file mp3 or mov small or big the same problem happens
i have reconfigured the raid and reformated the drives with the laCie support
they think its a 100% normal functioning drive and that the problem is with my imac as the drive works on all other computers that i have tried
really im stumped and dont know what i should try next to get the hdd and my imac to become compatable
Can i get apple to diagnose it remotely
do they do that?

Hi there MSPoettl,
I updated to the new firmware for the 24' when it was released. This largely fixed the problem, although the Lacie's fan makes a very airy noise as it blows. The image on the 24' led apple careen is stable, so good news there. However when plugging the MBair into the Lacie and then into a 27' iMac I still get occasional distortion.
Good luck.

RAID Slice Failed on my 2tb Lacie Little Big Drive

I was working in FCPX 10.8 on my Macbook Air using my 2tb Lacie Little Big Drive with thunderbolt connection when I got an improper disk removal message pop up. I hadn't removed the cable and the power had been on all of the time. From then on I couldn't get my drive to mount. I was working from this drive that is RAID 0. I have also tried the drive on my imac but no joy either.
I have used disk utility to verify and it says that all seems ok. But when you look at one of the RAID Slices it says Failed.
See attachment:
I have also tried Disk Warrior but it only sees the drive in the hardware section and again says that the drive appears to be functioning normally.
Is there any way of fixing this or will I need to re format. I will lose a fairly important project if this is the case.
Many thanks
Sam

Your LaCie Little Big Drive contains two 1 TB hard drives configured as a Raid 0 striped volume. I believe Raid 0 is the “as shipped” setup. It improves disk performance by splitting the data stream such that each drive only has to process half of the data.
The downside of a Raid 0 setup is that all data will be lost if either of the drives fail. Unfortunately, that appears to be your situation as the Disk Utility screen shot shows that hard drive disk 1s2 has failed. You haven’t found any obvious problems in the troubleshooting you’ve done, so your best bet would probably be to contact LaCie and ask for their help before attempting to reformat the drive. As you know, reformatting will eliminate any possibilty of recovering your important project.
I use a similar LaCie Thunderbolt drive configured as Raid 0 on my iMac. FCPX performance, especially playback, is far superior to my USB 2.0 external drives and somewhat better than my FW800 drive. I copy clips I’m using to the LaCie drive and keep the originals on a separate external drive. I believe this is now referred to as a “managed” library in FCPX 10.1 which, in my opinion, greatly simplifies backup and protection of one’s work.
Good luck and please let us know if you are able to find a solution.

I am a OS10.7.4 user. yesterday i bought a Lacie external hard disk but error message appear said " You cant open the applicant LaCie setup assistant because PowerPC applicants are no longer support". please help me how to connect my mac with Lacie??

You do not need the Setup Assistant; in fact, you do not need any software on an external hard drive. I have two LaCie's; I erased the drive as soon as I plugged it in. You will need to format it anyway because most hard drives come Windows formatted. So, if you only want to use it with the Mac, highlight it in Disk Utility and choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as the format and the GUID Partition scheme under Options. While doing that, it will erase the drive (and get rid of the LaCie software) - once finished, your drive is ready to use for Time Machine or any other backup plans you have for it.

Lacie 2TB Big Disk Extreme Firewire 800 firewire 400 hi-speed usb2 7200 rpm sku 301201u knocked

I have a Lacie 2TB Big Disk Extreme + Firewire 800 firewire 400 hi-speed usb2 7200 rpm sku 301201u , which I have been using with an emac ( 1ghz power pc 4 , macos 10.5.8 ) for past few years.
A couple of days ago The drive was hit rather hard on side while on and up , the computer hung as the computer was up on a mac os 10.5.8 partition on this drive . Computer was rebooted and comes up on internal drive, lacie drive just made beep and click sounds ( i am actually deaf and this was what I was told ) every couple of seconds. Attempt was made to boot on CD to use latest available disk utility ( Macos 10.5). Lacie still does not show up. 15-20 minutes into this, I powered lacie down. This is when I started noticing a burned circuitry smell.I powered lacie down and disconnected it at this point.
Most Folks just suggest data recovery which can cost as much as $3000 or more which I really don't have .
I figured I open and examine the internalsof drive . I did so. The circuitry smells
like burned near the point where power comes in and the death diode is located, otherwise circuitry looks fine. One of the two drives , when taken out did not have a burnt smell and the other had a burnt smell towards the center but it dissipated in about an hour after it was taken out. There also was one loose screw inside drives chasing which ended up being one of the 4 screws that holds the disk drive's circuitry. I dont know but I don't think this could have shorted anything out but even though slim it is possible that such happened.
While I have Three DC voltmeters, I could not find the one that would accurately measure the voltage on the external power suppy to see if the output voltage on the 4 pins is accurate . I am still looking for the one meter that can do this.
I figured if I can find the exact drive in like new condition and swap the disks, if the disks are not damaged and if the culprit is actually burnt circuitry, then the drives should come up as they were as though nothing had happened.
I talked to a friend that suggested getting other cases and swapping disks but I guess that is not possible because the two disks are raided? ( raid 0 ) . I am also not even sure if the drives are raided the way they were put into use ( only through firewire 400) as the documentation suggests that only firewire 800 denotes use of built in raid0 but I am not sure. So again assumption is made that the drives are raided .
I contacted dealership of the drive which again suggest that Unfortunately it is not possible to obtain another drive like this one because it has been obsolete and out of manufacture for a long time. It is also a risky idea because if the problem is not with the drive enclosure hardware, there is a genuine risk of making the recovery process more difficult, or impossible.
This though does not follow logically. I have been able to see the exact drive with the same sku number offered as new or excellent condition more than 1/2 dozen times in the past few weeks so I guess drive can be acquired and tested before any such swap. If drives are not the culprit , I figure after a swap with a new enclosure and everything other than drives, the thing should not even be noticed and all should work as they did before the accident. If the drives are the cause , then the thing has been on 1/2 hour after the accident so the swap should not do any more damage or cause future recovery attempts any more issues than already might be there.
Any sound advice is greatly appreciated.

I tried the two good disks in the main chasis with new cables and power supply , and I could not get them to come on or show.
I put the good disks back in the second chasis with new cable and power suppy and it again shows ( prompts telling you that it sees a readable MAc OS disk and asks if you want to Initialize it ).
I put the first set together again with new cable and power supply and the light does not come on anymore . being hearing impaired , i put my head on the drive and hear this clicking sound every one or two seconds. The fan operates . The drive does not show when rebooting and it does not show on the disk utility. The drive does not smoke but smell of burned mica ( circuitry ) is still in my throat after a couple of hours.
From what I have learned the possibility exists that each drive is calibrated and the calibration is added to the control board , So like chances are that even if the two original drives are good and connected properly and everything else is good, they might and probably just wont work with a control board of another even exact drive. There are three tables / charts marked on each drive and specific locations marked on each chart which differ between drives . These I think are from calibrating the drives.
So I guess its data recovery...
Lacie Data Recovery wants $600 ( $300 x 2 drives ) if they recover data without need for a clean room , $3000 ( $1500 x 2 drives ) if there is need for clean room. If they don't recover , you dont pay , if they recover and you do not want to pay, then they just send you the damaged disk ( or perhaps keep it , or smash it then return it to you) .
There are many other data recovery services so I guess a few days to sift through them but I guess the maker reference should be the best way ( I think its actually a sub-company that lacie forwards data recovery to.
Too many factors are involved. One that will such be a secure thing to do or 6 months later you find out that someone opened 10 accounts under your name , or emptied your bank account ( thats actually not a problem because there is almost never any money in my bank account) . So security is a concern. I have encountered individuals that make it their business stealing peoples stuff from their disks. Once I even had one Tech guy which was refered to solve a problem I had , copying disks contents right in front of me for absolutely no reason. So I ask him what are you doing, and he says , I am copying everything just to make sure they are safe ( : ) )
Then there is the dalai lama , everything happens for a reason scenario. In which case I guess I have to consider the whole thing as Good Omen. and just forget about it and go on with my life ( maybe I go work in Mc Donalds : ) )
The bottom line is I can't believe that I am such an idiot not to have a proper backup system in place .
Thank you for the links, I will check them out.

LaCie Ethernet Big Disk | USB Slow

Hi,
I'm using a LaCie Ethernet Big Disk (1TB) as a backup HD to my iMac. While both the HD and Mac support USB 2.0, the data is flowing at a 3.46 MB/s. I thought USB 2.0 ought, in theory at least, to run at 60MB/s.
The connection is via an Ethernet Adaptor, is says that it's Media Subtype (from the Sytem Profiler) is 10baseT/UTP. Is this the problem? Shouldn't this say somthing along the lines of 1000 baseT? Any ideas?
Thanks.

Hi Frando-
That 10base clue is part of it. Is there a switch or router between the drive and your Mac that is operating at 10? Make sure to check your cabling as often a bad cable or connection can cause a slower connect speed.
If you are accessing this drive over the network than the USB speed doesn't matter as that is not how the drive is transferring data.
Luck-

LaCie d2 Big Disk Extreme - failure

I think there is a serious problem with the FireWire communication between MacPro and the Lacie d2 Big Disk Extreme: I just moved to this machine, and I'm experiencing a ridiculous number of bus resets. See this from system log:
Jul 4 07:28:55 computer-di-lol-productions kernel[0]: FireWire (OHCI) TI ID 8025 built-in: 5630 bus resets in last minute.
The disk usually mounts properly, then after a while and randomly slows down to almost a halt. Very scary. This happens on two identical drives, which work perfectly if I connect them through USB. Also, this happens both in FW800 and FW400. LaCie recently released an update for such disks which is available from their website, but my drives are apparently updated. I can't move up to 10.4.10 at the moment because I am using ProTools which is not officially supported yet.
Any hints and thoughts are greatly appreciated!

Sorry for the late reply as I wasn't checking the posts. When I bought my 1TB I laready had number of other LaCie stuff, Cd writer, 500Gb and 250 Gb and a DVD writer. As I was passing the the 250 drive to my son I gave him the 1TB power supply so that I did not distrubed the cable arrangment, so I am guessing that I was using the power supply from one of the CD writers.
I really don't know how it affects it, but I am guessing that it just don't have enough beef to feed the drive or the interface. I did a internet search and I seen as a suggestion, I implemented and it worked. As I said all the disk utility software gave the drive clean bill of health, despite occasionally saying could not complete the instructions because of hardware error.
Ona different note this kind of thing happened to me before with my Canon 20D digital camera, two batteries died on me very quickly and charged very erratically , and when I bought my Canon 5D the new charger just charged them properly, so it was the charger that gone wrong but seemingly still functioning to a degree.
But if your drive is brand new with a brand new power supply, and checked your disk with some kind of utility software maybe it is your drive. I am guessing that you formated the drive when you bought it.

Lacie 500GB Big Disk Extreme problem.

I have a Lacie 500GB Big Disk Extreme (Triple Interface), that the Airport Extreme (n) is not mounting.
It's formatted as Mac OS Journalled, and works perfectly if connected directly to my MacBook Pro by USB or Firewire.
When connected to the AE(n), I get the following error message:
"Your AirPort base station is reporting the following errors:
Disk needs repair
Errors were found with a disk connected to your AirPort Base Station. Please connect the USB disk to your Mac or PC and use Disk Utility or another application to repair the disk."
I connected the drive to my MBP and ran Disk Utility, which reported no problems with the drive at all. After repeated attempts, with various cables, I updated the firmware on the drive to see if that would solve the problem. It didn't.
Anyone else having problems with their Lacie drives, especially those of you with the Big Disk Extremes?

Am trying to get my Lacie 300GB Big Disk triple interface to work with my (new) Airport Extreme - however it just doesn't recognise it through the USB port.
Problem A - my macbook works fine with the lacie through FireWire cables (which is what i've always used), but the disks don't mount when its plugged in through the USB.
Problem B - would the Hard Drive work on Airport Extreme if I had a powered hub (with firewire ports) plugged into the USB, and then link up the Lacie through the firewire?
cheers

Bootcamp disk icon does not appear in the System Preferences/Startup Disk. Any help ideas ?

Everything works fine but the Bootcamp disk icon does not appear in the System Preferences/Startup Disk.
When I am in Win7 I am easily rebooting my iMac by right-clicking on the Bootcamp icon.
When I am in Mac OS I wish to do same but that Bootcamp icon does not appear. Everytime I am restarting my iMac and pressing on the Option key to select the Windows disk.
Does anyone have an idea how to adjust to bring the Bootcamp icon to the Startup Disk panel ?

Use BootChamp instead; perhaps you have an NTFS 3rd party driver installed and has its own control panel.

Where to buy??? Looking to purchase a LaCie Little Big Drive

Hey guys,
I recently have concluded I would like to purchase a LaCie Little Big Drive 320G drive to replace the EZQ drive that I bought and now is DOA. My question is however where one can find one of these drives without paying an insane amount. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I would recommend buying it either on the apple store or directly from LaCie. If you want to save some money, you could try your chances on eBay but it could be risky.
