Not Recognizing Camera When External Drive in Use

I have FCP3 installed successfully on my new G5, and when I use a external drive (G-drive Q), my camera (gl-2) is [missing]. When I turn the drive off, it works just fine. I've looked around the forum and the quicktime reciept thing doesn't seem like the solution (there are no 703, ### takes). Any Help? Please?!

. I'd rather not have to buy a new card. Any other solutions? Are people having the same problems with FCP 5? It seems like it is a case of you need to buy this to buy this to have this run on that, but only after buying this plus upgrading to that...
Well, video requires configurations that work. Firewire capture drives are not recommended.
You have an internal additional SATA bay. Spend $80.00 and install a 160 Gb SATA drive in it.
That's to me at least a minimum configuration.
It isn't an upgrade; it's an essential part of video editing.

Item will not transfer to/ from external drive "in use" error.

I have searched the boards and found a handful of suggestions that I have tried with very limited success. My assumption is that is is a drive issue rather than a mac issue (Enlighten me if I am not posting in the right place!)
I'd like to be able to avoid deleting the files and reformatting as I'd have a very tough time reloading the information seeing that I can't copy directly from that disk and the backup is in a different physical location (about 3 time zones away). Please let me know if there is something that can be done to find what the "hang up" is on this disk and pinpoint the error rather than having to start from scratch. Here is a more detailed background:
Computer - Mac Mini running 10.6.8 (I have tried on two separate machines of the same model and OS as well as on a Mac Pro also running 10.6.8 with the same results)
What I am trying to do: Copy several folders woth of .mov and .avi files of varying size (files are up to about 9GB but most are around 100MB) over firewire 800 from a 1TB LaCie Rugged to a 4TB G-Raid. (I have tried copying whole folders as well as individual files).
The Issue: In the middle of a large transfer of multiple files nested in a folder I got an error message saying that the file could not be copied because it was "in use." I tried again and got the error again, I then tried moving individual folders and started getting the error even earlier in the transfer.
What I have tried: Restarted, tried on multiple systems, and verified and repaired the questionable disk (even though no errors were being reported).
I then remembered a time when I had a similar issue that turned out to be a Quicklook Bug so I terminated Quicklookhelper in my processes and restarted (no luck) I changed my view settings in Finder to not have a preview (no luck).
I took the advice of another board and trashed com.apple.QuickLookDaemon and com.apple.QuickLookDaemon.plist and restarted (no luck).
I then tried verifying the disk again and it did come up with an error though it claimed to successfully repair it. (I will post the report from disk utility at the end for anyone that thinks it might be helpful)
At this point I was able to transfer one file of 4+GB to the other disk. Then when I went to go to the next file I started getting the same error. I went throught the above "trash and repair" process that worked before but saw no results this time.
I also noticed that I could not "trash"com.apple.QuickLookDaemon and com.apple.QuickLookDaemon.plist while the faulty drive was mounted as it was coming up as "in use" as well.
Any suggestions? I'd love you forever.

Console isn't reporting anything other than "aborted" whenever it fails to transfer.
For a minute the drive seemed to fail entirely, but then is able to be repaied in disk Utility (after 2 tries).
It also ocassionally won't unmount because the drive too is "in use" (despite the fact that this would be impossible as no other programs are running after I restart.
I got 2 small files to transfer in Safe Mode, but then I was back to the same errors.
Time Machine isn't running and I added the drive to the Privacy Pane. So far I'm still having a hang up with this thing.
All good suggestions though. I appreciate it.
I wonder what the process is that is holding it up!?! Is the "node" error I keep seeing some sort of clue? I can't find much about it.

New iMac itunes not recognizing library on external drive

I'm trying to move my itunes media from my older powermac to my new imac. I kept my library on an external drive, so I thought it would be simple to just move that drive over to the new imac and create a path in the media folder location in itunes preferences to the library. I've done so, but the library is not registering in the new itunes. Obviously I'm doing something wrong here, and I haven't found anything that describes my exact scenario. All I'm doing is keeping the external drive on which the library and contents are stored and moving it from the old computer to the new.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Peter

Thanks Jim. I have tried what you have suggested, but it hasn't worked. iTunes isn't populating (for lack of a better word at the moment) with my music. I'm able to select the library and seemingly iTunes accepts the library, but I'm not able to access the media. I tried reconnecting the drive back to the old computer to make sure iTunes worked on it, and it worked fine. I'm stumped.

I think the McAfee suite will do the trick when I pay them a one-time fee of $69 or $179 for a year for unlimited support.
Your call of course but IMO a waste of money. Please read this first:
There are many forms of ‘Malware’ that can affect a computer system, of which ‘a virus’ is but one type, ‘trojans’ another. Using the strict definition of a computer virus, no viruses that can attack OS X have so far been detected 'in the wild', i.e. in anything other than laboratory conditions. The same is not true of other forms of malware, such as Trojans. Whilst it is a fairly safe bet that your Mac has NOT been infected by a virus, it may have another security-related problem, but more likely a technical problem unrelated to any malware threat.

Time Machine tries to back up although not attached to an external drive...

I keep getting this error message when my Macbook Pro is not attached to an external drive:
Starting standard backup
Error -35 while resolving alias to backup target
Backup failed with error: 19
(this is from timemachine widget)
I've even reinstalled the system software...
What can I do to stop getting that regular annoying message?

No, sorry, I meant 3rd-party apps specifically to alter Time Machine's behavior. Other, unrelated ones, shouldn't be involved.
Try this, with the TM drive ejected and disconnected:
From a Finder window's menubar, select +Go > Go to Folder+ and type /Volumes at the prompt.
That will show an alias for every connected volume. If it also shows your Time Machine volume, or anything else that isn't connected, see what it is.
Sometimes, in some sort of obscure circumstances, if OSX loses contact with a drive in just the wrong way, a process may not realize it, and instead of writing to a volume via that alias, it will instead create a folder and write to that. Your symptoms don't sound like that, but it's worth a look.

Escrow the recovery key in DB server and not in AD when removable drive is encrypted.

Is there any way to escrow the recovery key in the database server and not in AD when removable drive (USB drive) is encrypted via manage-bde command line? The data recovery agent is not enabled in our organization.
"Choose how bitlocker protected removable Drives can be recovered" for removable drives is disabled in our Group policy also.
Please advise. Thank you.

As far as I am concerned, you cannot do that when you are using the command line "Manage-bde".
The reason is because, the manage-bde command line parameters doesn't support saving recovery keys to databases. Also there is not any group policy defined for it.
I you want an option to save recovery keys in a database rather than the AD, I would recommend to use MBAM (Microsoft Bitlocker Administration and Monitoring).

Is Time Machine something that I can back up to in a separate particle of my new MacBook Pro or do I need an external drive to use with it?

.....ie we have Seagate external drives but both have Windows files on them, although plenty of room. Am I able to keep the Windows files on them and back up to them with Time Machine on new MacBook Pro? Don't understand....and not very clear. Thanks
Belinda

Belinda,
In order to use Time Machine the external volume must be formatted in Disk Utility as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)". You can't use a drive that is formatted to be used for both a Mac and a Windows unit (exFAT, etc.). You should purchase a new external drive to use with Time Machine and never let your work go for over a week with hooking up to the TM drive and allow Time Machine to do it's thing.

Those look alot like file names and not infection names. I don't find any reference to anything like that on Norton or VirusTotal. Since you said these were Trojans, I would expect to see "Trojan" as part of the infection name.
".jar" files are executable Java applets. The random alpha-numerics would seem to indicate a cache file, likely from a browser with Java enabled. And we all know what ".zip" means.
Worst case is that you had Java enabled in a browser and were infected by one of the late variants of the Flashback Trojan over a year ago or one of a couple of other attacks using the same vulnerability but targetted against a small number of political sympathizers. Much more probable is that thes were Windows only Trojans. Hopefully you have a fully up-to-date OS X, including Java, and have disabled Java in all your browsers by now.

my ipad will no longer connect to the laptop. it comes up with usb not recognized. also when trying to connect to the power the first time i connect, nothing, but when i unplug from ipad and plug in a second time it charges

yeah tried all that. the only thing that i havent tried is to delete itunes completely and restart. its the same with the ipad. i havent done a master reset. i just think it has to be something rather simple as it acknowledges that i have plugged in the ipad as it makes the noise it just come up usb not recognized. it shows up as an unknown device that doestn have any drivers
its driving me round the bend at the minute
