Multiple drives - multiple regions?

I have a PowerBook G4 (Version 5,8) with a UJ-846 drive, so I can no longer bypass the region coding on DVDs and use VLC like my old PB G4 with the UJ-816. Okay, fine, you win some and you lose some...
However, I have a LaCie firewire DVD burner. Can I use it to play Region 2 DVDs and the internal drive (or any other drive) to play Region 1 DVDs, and not alter the Region Code change counter? I am thinking of getting a second LaCie burner just for this purpose - playing Region 2 DVDs. I live in Europe now so I'm surrounded by good films I cannot currently watch.
No, I will not use the Region Code counter to switch back and forth. I have a mix of disc regions and that is just not possible. I need a hardware fix, or a genius software one. Also, the UJ-846 cannot be flashed. I'm not so sure I'd want to do that anyway.
Does "DVD Player" allow for me to use different drives for different regions?

Hi David,
You know, the drives are compatible between the two
G4s. If the extra burning speed isn't important, you
could just swap them..
As for the behaviour in the situation you suggest, I
don't know.
I don't know how I could swap drives between a computer I no longer own and the one I use now. And I do enjoy the double-layer support, thank you very much. Besides, it's still under warranty and I'm not futzing with it.
Simply put:
I want to know if I can use two firewire drives to play two different regions codes of DVD (1 &2) on my PowerBook G4 without changing the region code setting counter in my Mac. I'd be using DVD Player.
Is this possible?

  • Time Machine - using multiple drives when the first is not available

    Hello I have been succussfully using Time Machine with my USB external drive. I have been connecting it to my MacBook Air from time to time. Manual backups as well as the hourly backups when the drive has been connected worked without any problem.
    Recently, I connected Synology DiskStation (NAS) to my network and I have added it to the list of drives in my Time Machine setup. When my original external drive (first in the list) is not connected to my MacBook  the hourly backup is not initiated by the Time Machine at all. Manually started backup is runnign fine without any problem.
    The external drive is annotated with exclamation mark in Time Machines list with "not available" error - and it seems that this is causing the interruption of automatic hourly backup to any drive.
    Is there any way how to debug Time Machine? Or to get some logs of Time Machine?
    Any similar experience with multiple drive backup when the first of them is disconnected most of the time...?
    Thanks a lot for any help
    Petr

    Perhaps you should address this to Synology's tech support. Apple doesn't provide any support for third-party NAS, so your best bet is with Synology.

    Well think of it I believe the scenario is too bird viewed hence the solution can't be exact.
    But thinking of a possible solution every time a child operation fails have a catch block where you you go back to system if the parent needs to be deleted if yes, call Delete Method on the parent.
    Note: Make sure that the decision on whether or not the parent record needs to be deleted will depends on the question "Does Parent Record already has several other children associated to it or not"
    Hope this clarifies.

  • Old G4 450 Sawtooth - Multiple Drives - Target Disk Mode ?

    So I have had this old computer a long time and have upgraded it over the years as much as it can handle - faster processor, max ram, multiple drives ...
    The problem I am having at the moment is only one of the drives will show up in TDM - the one that shows up is the original 20Gb drive. I have a Seagate 500Gb and another Seagate 1.5 Tb drive too. Neither of the Seagates show up in TDM. I haven't cracked it open in a while but seem to remember they are connected via a SATA controller card. Just verified the two SATA connections. The 500Gb drive is my boot drive.
    So is there something obvious here that I should understand? Thank you.
    Oh I'm connecting to a circa 2007 MBP and Mavericks. The G4 is running Leopard.

    I think I found my answer .... unless someone has an idea or info otherwise.
    Tip: FireWire Target Disk Mode works on internal ATA drives only. Target Disk Mode only connects to the master ATA drive on the Ultra ATA bus. It will not connect to Slave ATA, ATAPI or SCSI drives.
    Doesn't mention SATA but inferring it does include SATA.

  • Using multiple drives for iMovie 10

    Previoiusly, I have used multple drives to store my business & personal video files.  I don't see how to do that now with iMovie 10.  Now everything is in different Libraries.  When I click on any of my older Events, iMovie shows that it is empty.  How do I fix this?

    In addition to the above persons' solution, you can choose a third software  instead of the built-in Windows 7 Backup tool, the backup software can make up for the deficiency of  the backup tool of Windows. You can search in Google, and
    will find many kinds of software, Genie backup and AOMEI Backupper: http://www.backup-utility.com/ can be ok. Hope the freeware can give you suggestion.
    AOMEI turned out to be the answer. It works well with multiple drives and provides an easy way the user can see if the backup succeeded or not. Thanks!

  • Can iTunes read across multiple drives?

    Hi all,
    I have a 2002 Quicksilver PowerMac with 1x 30Gb (Master) and 1x 80Gb (slave) installed.
    I’ve put all my music onto the 80Gb but iTunes will only look at the music I have installed on the master drive. Can iTunes see music across multiple drives and make them all show as one within the iTunes window? As currently I can’t access them.
    I'm running OSX.4 Tiger, iTunes v.4.7.1
    Many thanks.

    Does this also work in the opposite direction?  I have a startup disk that is full and I want to move my existing library onto a second physical disk in an attempt to free up space on the startup disk.
    How do I then have itunes add new media to the itunes library on the startup disk instead of the now virtually full second physical disk?
    Like One Brain Cell, I have been muddling this about in my head for weeks.

  • Use LR Across Multiple Drives

    Hi,
    I'm curious to know if LR will support my current image collection, which resides on 2 separate external firewire 800 hard drives. I read somewhere that LR 1.0 would still require a library file to be housed in a single location, and that you could only have a single LR library.
    I would like to work with LR using referenced files, rather than importing my images into the database.
    Thanks!

    Thanks for your quick reply Don. Yes, I have been using LR Beta for awhile now, but I had read that 1.0 did away with having multiple libraries (MacWorld article, I believe).
    Good to know when LR 1.0 ships I can use it across multiple drives.
    Follow up question for you: You mention it works with files stored on or offline. How do you handle moving files from online to offline storage? Is LR "smart" in that it can detect changes in file locations or does it prompt you the item has been moved?
    Thanks!

  • Filestream Partitioning across multiple drives

    I have a SQL 2008 R2 ENT database with the single [PRIMARY] filegroup, and a single FilestreamGroup.  The filestream has millions of records, cannot be restored, and is about to exceed the drive space limit.
    The table with the single filestream column has a primary key column that is also the Cluster index key.  There is a Full Text index and several foreign key constraints to this table's primary key. All must be disabled prior to dropping and rebuilding
    the index for partitioning (tried and tested).
    The filestream must be spread across multiple drive letters, and have multiple partitions on each drive, to facilitate file-restores within SLA.  Due to its size, it may exceed the weekend maintenance window, and therefore must be done ONLINE to allow
    the business to save new documents while the rebuild is in operation.
    How should I cobble this up into Filegroups / Files?  A data filegroup per drive. What is Best Practice for the filestream?

    I have never worked with it, but it seems very logical. If you create a partition that says that some data should be in other partition, the data has to be moved to that partition. And, yes, it has to remain in the old partition as well, in case you do a
    restore to point-in-time. This is no different than if you just delete a row.
    To get rid of the rows in the old partition, you need backup the transaction log, checkpoint and backup the log again, if memory serves.
    As for the font issue, the editor in the web UI stinks. That's one reason I stick to the NNTP bridge.

  • A solution to having media files in your iTunes library on multiple drives

    After searching on the web for threads of people with this issue, I found this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1483694
    I wanted to reply, but the thread has been archived and locked, so I figured I could make a new post offering my new solution.
    The application I have written to allow users to easily move the media files in their iTunes library to multiple drives is called TuneSpan (http://www.tunespan.com).
    TuneSpan is user friendly, freeware, native OS X app. It does the whole process of moving files and having iTunes know the new location for you, just as you would expect from a full featured app for OS X. Symbolic links are used to point iTunes to the new file locations, but in some cases, TuneSpan can actually get iTunes to learn a new location for the file, without the need of a symbolic link. Also, TuneSpan never removes any tracks from iTunes (preserving playlists, play counts, etc.) and there is no need to adjust any settings in iTunes such as the "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library" setting.
    Lots of important information about TuneSpan and how it works can be found on http://www.tunespan.com/help.html
    I do not mean to completely self-promote by posting this, but I realize that I am doing so. I am hoping to reach out to users who have had the desire to do this task but have been overwhelmed or hindered by past solutions technicality, inflexibility, etc. I am hoping that making this posting in the location that some may look for a solution will give TuneSpan more exposure, and help more people have their iTunes library the way they want it to be. TuneSpan is freeware, but donation are accepted though not forced nor nagged for. If you choose to donate through my site, I will, of course, be receiving compensation which I would be grateful for, but that is not the intention of this post. If this posting does not meet the guidelines of this forum, I apologize.

    Very useful app, thanks! But i've noticed it is still a O.xx beta. Do you intend to go on with it?

  • Backing up multiple drives using TimeMachine

    I currently only back up my internal drive on my iMac. I was thinking of also including one of my exteral drives as well. My question is, if I ever have to recover from a TimeMachine, how will that work? I assume backing up just the internal drive lets you recover to a new drive if that orginal drive should fail. But what if you are backing up multiple drives? Does it let you pick just one dirve to recover to? I know this sounds confusing, but I hope you see what I'm getting at...
    Thanks!

    First of all you can check the Time Machine settings to see if the external drive can be backed up to the TM drive. I've only ever had the one external drive, it being the TM drive, and it certainly is not available but possibly another external HFS drive could be saved.
    As for the restore, if you can backup the other external drive then I would expect it to show as a separate drive in the TM backup. I say this because when you do backup to TM, the backup file does list the HD/volume name. So in theory you would have two volumes listed in your backup. But as I have never done this it is purely a guess.

  • I am wondering about transferring my pc date to my new iMac.  I know there is a migration assistant, but I have multiple drives in my pc.  Will the migration assistant be able to handle this?

    I know there is a migration assistant, but I have multiple drives in my pc.  Will the migration assistant be able to handle this?  I'm going to be trying to move the date to a new imac 27' with fusion drive.

    the following set of instructions is a little longer, so you might want to print it out and have it handy
    Step 1 - PC
    If your PC already is connected to the Internet, hold down the Windows button on
    your keyboard and simultanously press R. Into the opening window enter "cmd" (without
    the quotation marks). A command line will open, enter "ipconfig" (again without the
    quotation marks) at the prompt. Now find the section labelled "Ethernet-Adaptor" and
    note the values for IP-Address, Subnet-Mask and Default-Gateway on a sheet of paper
    If your PC is not already connected to the internet, you need to manually configure its IP address.
    open Network and Sharing Center
    do a right click on Ethernet and select Properties
    in middle of the screen there is a box labelled "This connection uses the following items"
    out of this box select "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)"
    click on the Properties button in the right corner
    Into the window "Use the following IP address" enter the following values
    IP-Address: 192.168.0.1
    Subnet-Mask: 255.255.255.0
    Default-Gateway is the IP-Address of your Router. This value is needed for internet connection, for the file sharing setup only this value can be left empty.
    Step 2 - Mac
    If your Mac already is connected to the internet, it is likely that it has automatically receive the necessary parameters from your router and therefore should be in the same network as your PC. To be on the safe side, you can check this by
    open System Preferences
    select Network
    choose Ethernet from the panel on the left side of the window
    click on Advanced
    click on TCP/IP
    compare the values for IP-Address, Subnet-Mask and Default-Gateway with those you wrote down earlier.
    If both PC and Mac have identical numbers in the first three parts of the IP-Address, you are set.
    If your Mac is not already connected to the internet, you need to manually configure its IP-Address as well.
    In the TCP/IP window you have just opened select "Manually" from the drop down menu "Configure IPv4:"
    Enter the following values
    IP-Address: 192.168.0.2
    Subnet-Mask: same as with PC
    Default-Gateway: same as with PC
    Step 3 - Activate File Sharing on PC
    open Control Panel
    select Network and Internet
    select Network and Sharing Center
    on the left panel select change advanced sharing settings
    in the middle of the new page enable turn on file and printer sharing
    Step 4 - Activate File Sharing on Mac
    open System Preferences
    select Sharing
    set check mark next to File Sharing (green circle appears on the right side next to File Sharing:)
    click on Options:
    set check mark next to Share files and folders using SMB
    in the listbox under the text Windows File Sharing make sure there is a check mark next to your account name
    Step 5 - Create a share on your PC
    In Explorer select the folder you wish to share
    do a right click on that folder and select "Share with"
    choose "Specific people"
    a new window opens. there select your Windows username (usually the first in the list)
    if you plan to copy from Windows to Mac only, it would be sufficient to grant Read permission only, but, since most likely you are the only person to access that share and certainly do not plan to sabotage yourself, Read & Write permission is ok too.
    finally click on "Share"
    Step 6 - Create a share on your Mac
    Once the check mark next to your account name is set (see above) your home directory is automatically set as a share.
    Step 7 - Connect your PC to your Mac-Share
    do a right click on the network icon which resides on your desktop or in the left
    panel of every Explorer window
    Select Connect Share
    in the text box next to Folder: enter \\<ip-address-of-your-mac>\<your-osx-username>
    if you are using the same username and password on both Windows and OSX click on "Finish",
    if not set the check mark next to "Connect using different credentials" afterwards click on "Finish" A new window will open where you enter username and password that you are using with OSX
    Step 8 - Connect your Mac to your PC-Share
    hold down the command key and press K simultanously or in Finder click on Go in the menu at the top of your screen and select "Connect to Server"
    in the Window that opens enter smb://<your-windows-username>:<your-windows-password>@<ip-address-of-your-PC/<y our-windows-username>
    or
    smb://<ip-adress-of-your-PC/<your-windows-username> you will be asked to enter your Windows username and password in popup window
    Now you have both computers connected to each other. Each will provide you access to your home directory of the other computer. Open a second Explorer or Finder window with your local home directory and start copying

  • Using multiple drives with Windows 7 Backup

    I have a customer with a new PC running Windows 7 Pro. He has 3 Seagate 1TB USB drives that he swaps out nightly for backups. Currently, backups are being done using the built-in Windows 7 Backup.
    His previous PC ran XP and used the program which is pre-loaded onto Seagate drives to install onto PCs. He used this with the 3 drives and had no problems.
    However, this software on the drives would not install on his Windows 7 PC because I presume it to not be compatible, even in compatibility mode.
    The problem now is that each time he swaps in a different drive, the backups fail because it's a different drive and the backup software can't seem to handle multiple drives. With Windows Server Backup, you can add multiple drives so that when you swap them,
    backups still run. I can't seem to do that with Windows 7 Backup.
    Does anyone know how to get multiple drives to work with the built-in Windows 7 Backup?

  • Adobe downloaded to multiple drives please help Thanks

    I purchased adobe web premium a couple of months ago. When I downloaded this program and I did a custom install to go onto another drive. With my computer I have several hard drives with multiple drives on them. I wanted this to go all onto my G drive but for some reason it downloaded alot of stuff to my C drive. My C drive is really full so I did not want any of this program on there. My question is this Can I take all of the stuff on the C drive and move it to my G drive with out messing up the program. I am talking brushes, Plugins things of this nature. I don't want it to look in the registry of the C drive but the G drive. This way it saves alot of space on my C. I have windows vista Ultimate. Can someone help me figure this out? Thanks

    That is normal behavior. Shared components such as Bridge, PDFL, Fonts etc. will always be installed on your system drive.

    Most likely not. Some plug-ins will always have to be loaded within the context of your system root directory since they need to obbey a specific loading order and call up other files. Likewise, any content or extension will not show up in the fly-out menus, if not in the reserved directories. E.g. if you move your brushes to a different drive, the program cannot scan them on startup and they will not be listed in the menu. You will have to load them manually, which simply may become impractical. The only thing I can think of, is to create a link to the folder and place it inside the program directory, but this does not work for all Adobe programs. So more or less, you should really leave things as they are and instead get a bigger drive one of those days. Deactivate your apps, create a disk image, apply the image to the new drive, reactivate everything... Should do the trick without having to fully re-install.
