Plug in Seagate USB drive and status goes from green to yellow

This is somewhat different from what others have posted.
When I plug in or turn on my Seagate 160 gig drive on the base station USB, the status light switches to yellow and no more wireless. The disk works when direct connected to the iMac. Epson printer works fine in the base station USB.
Anybody have these symptoms?
Rick

It is formatted FAT32 and works fine on my PC (I recently jumped ship to Mac) and connected to the iMac.
I don't understand your final comment. Once the disk goes 'ready', the wireless is down and I can no longer access the base station. If I turn the Seagate off, the light goes green again in about 5 seconds.
To anticipate: no, I have not yet attempted to 'talk' to the base via hard wired ethernet. That is, I have not seen any error text.

  • Assets going from green to yellow to red

    I get the message
    "has changed. Clip, slide or menu durations or marker positions may have been affected. The Encode Log lists where the asset is used."
    But I didn't do anything. Spotlight wasn't indexing, I don't have TimeMachine... Nothing has changed to the files and they keep disappearing in the DVD SP4.
    Can anyone help with this or is it just app bugs at work?
    I'm really starting to hate Apple for creating such unreliable apps with all kinds of weird problems. I know I wouldn't have these kind of problems on Windows, but, than again, they dont have these apps.

    Let me see if I got this straight. There is no way I can directly export iMovie file/project to MPEG-2?
    Ok. Let me break it down for myself, and you can tell me if I'm doing anything wrong.
    *STEP 0*
    Since Im in Europe, I will go with PAL 720x576 16:9. I go to Share > *Export using QuickTime*.
    *STEP 1*
    There I select... What?
    *STEP 2*
    Than when I get the file from iMovie I need to use calculator. Well, there is a little problem I will have couple of files that need to be separate, not just one. So how do I apply calculator to them? Because, as I see it. This calculator is for one file, or more precise a time length of the video in question.
    *STEP 3*
    I haven't really used Compressor so I am wondering where can I find the MPEG-2 setting for it?
    *STEP 4*
    Since I didn't understood the start of the last sentence I will guess.
    I need to export AUDIO in the file as Dolby Digital AC3, not as AIFF. Ok. Check.
    So its best to hold the bit-rate between 6 and 8.5 kbps?
    Is there any tool/converter that will convert my .MOV or .M4V files to MPEG-2?

  • I plugged in a usb drive into my ACD and it broke!

    When I plugged in a usb drive in to my ACD the screen broke half of it turned white. I tried unplugging it from everything for a day and it still is broken.,

    Is seems that pushing the USB plug in, flexed the internal circuit board enough to break a connection. Repair could be expensive

  • Creative Cloud Crashes When I Plug In a USB Drive

    My problem is that Adobe Creative Cloud application crashes every time I plug in a USB drive.  My computer is Windows 7 64-bit.  A brief history:
    1.  I signed up for Creative Cloud and started to download and install the Creative Cloud desktop application (an upgrade to the Application Manager).  The installation failed.  I tried it again and the installation failed again.
    2.  Contacted Adobe Tech Support via live chat where the tech took over my computer and did so many things I couldn’t follow what he was doing.  He finally got the Creative Cloud desktop application to install successfully.  At least we thought so at the time.
    3.  I was then able to download Photoshop CC and Bridge CC and begin using the applications.
    4.  A day or two later I discovered the Creative Cloud application (not Photoshop or Bridge) crashes every time I plug in a USB drive.
    5.  Since then I’ve had two more chat sessions with Adobe tech support where they had me rename some folders to OOBEold and uninstall and reinstall the Creative Cloud desktop application.  The last time they had me download and try to run a Creative Cloud Cleaner, but it couldn’t find the Creative Cloud application so we couldn’t run the cleaner.  These reinstallations were unproductive as Creative Cloud still crashes when I plug in a USB drive.  It doesn’t matter if I use the USB ports on the front or the back of the computer.
    Has anyone else experienced this particular issue with Creative Cloud and, if so, were you able to solve the problem?
    Is there a graceful way to close the Creative Cloud application instead of using the Task Manager to end the process before I plug in a USB drive?  There is a drop-down menu by a gear icon in the upper right of the application window that has Preferences and Quit Creative Cloud as two of the options.  What does the option “Quit Creative Cloud” actually mean?  Are you just closing the application or are you doing something more serious?  Under preferences there is an option that is selected by default to Launch at login.  What does “Launch at login” mean?  Does it mean when the computer starts up or when you actually go to Adobe and login to your account or something else?
    Thank you very much for any suggestions.

    Dave,
    Thanks for your reply.  After four very lengthy tech support chat sessions, the last tech support person (30 July, 2013) suggested that it was probably some sort of conflict with the drivers for the USB ports on my Dell computer.  The case number you requested is still open and is:  0184509373.
    I spent a lot of time during the last tech chat trying to determine a graceful way to quit the application before using any USB devices.  Just clicking on the X to close the window does not close the application as it still shows up as an active process in Windows Task Manager.  Our conversation kept getting confused between the Creative Cloud application and the more global Creative Cloud and which you were quitting or logging out of.  Adobe should have kept the name “Application Manager” for the application.
    After experimenting, I’ve devised the following work around.  It’s a nuisance, but it seems to work a little better than just crashing the application.  I open the Creative Cloud desktop application and choose “Quit Creative Cloud.”  I can then use a USB device without a crash.  After disconnecting the USB device, I restart the Creative Cloud application by double clicking on the icon on my desktop.  Finally, I can use Photoshop CC and Bridge.  If I don’t restart the Creative Cloud application first, Photoshop asks me to register the software again.  This puzzles me as I didn’t think the Creative Cloud application had to be running in order to use Photoshop.
    Thanks for your attention and assistance.

  • I plugged in a USB drive, tried to open Finder, got the message Finder.app can't be opened - 10810, went into terminal.app, messed up, now terminal screen blank.  how do i regain terminal in order to fix finder problem?

    With my iMac running, I plugged in a USB drive.  When I clicked on finder, I got the message Finder.app can't be opened - 10810.  I removed the USB drive.  I messed up while in Terminal.app trying to fix Finder problem.  Now my terminal screen is blank, just the cursor, but no action after typing a command & clicking enter.  Help!

    I finally figured out a way to Restart (normal way wasn't working...) & that Restart DID FIX both the Terminal problem AND the Finder problem.  So easy, yet so elusive.  Thanks so much.

  • The iTune cannot detect my iPhone. I have already tried all methods suggested, including re-installling iTune, re-activating Apple Mobile Device, plugging in various USB ports, and etc. I use windows 7. How can I solve this?

    The iTune cannot detect my iPhone 4S. I have already tried all methods suggested, including re-installling iTune, re-activating Apple Mobile Device, plugging in various USB ports, and etc. I use windows 7. How can I solve this?

    The new cable is completely new, and my computer can detect the phone as a drive, and battery charging is ok. So I believe the USB cable works properly. It is so weird that just iTune itself cannot detect the phone, and it is of the most updated version. What else can I do? Thanks.

  • How to: Usb drive and folder uptodate?

    Hey,

    trying to figured something out with Automator
    Thanks

    Automator, as you have probably figured out, does not have an action to specifically syncronize files found in two different locations.
    If you are only moving files one way at any one time then you can piece together the following actions to do the job:
    1) Find Finder Items (options for where to look and what to look for - multiple whose criteria are possible
    2) View Results - good idea for seeing what is going on with the various selections you might want to use in step 1
    3) Copy Finder Items - if you are copying to the Flashdisk you need to have it connected to select it in this step
    You should build two of these, one for the computer -> flashdisk and one for the flashdisk -> computer activities.
    Syncronizing both ways at the same time is much more problematic with Automator and if you are transferring files two directions within the same day I am not sure this set of actions will work.

    If you need to extract the drive's content you can remove it and install it in a $10 USB enclosure. It will be readable by any recent Mac.

    You can format the drive using ExFAT or you can format the drive NTFS then use third-party software on the Mac to enable writing to it: NTFS 11.2.443.

  • I recently bought an Epson Artisan 837 printer. I installed the driver and now Photoshop from CS3 will not open. It quits when the Twain portion of the program starts loading. Does anyone know how to fix this so my printer will work with Photoshop??

    I recently bought an Epson Artisan 837 printer. I installed the driver and now Photoshop from CS3 will not open. It closes every time it gets to the point where it is loading the Twain portion. Does anyone know how to fix this so my printer and Photoshop will work together? Thanks for any help I can get!

    You're welcome. 
    But, no, don't look to  Epson for fixes to their  driver in newer versions, and Adobe has deprecated the TWAIN plug-in.  Hoping for a solution there is futile.  That has not happened and it's never going to happen.  The consensus is that it's pretty foolish to tie up Photoshop to scan.  Honestly.
    Any improvement in the behavior of newer versions of the Epson drivers in that regard would be pure coincidence.
    You need to understand that you never, ever scan "within" Photoshop, as Photoshop has no scanning capabilities whatsoever.  When you use the Import > Twain plug-in all you are doing is blocking Photoshop while you call up the stand-alone Epson scanning software.  If you think about it, its most inefficient.
    VueScan has a pretty powerful scanning plug-in that can be called from the Impost menu—if you insist.  VueScan is not free, but it's a pretty good value, IMO.
    As for the Epson CD printing software, I have no clue.  Sorry. 

  • I have about 130 gigs of movies on my iTunes and was wondering if I can just put them on my backup hard drive and remove them from my main computer to free up the space

    I have about 130 gigs of movies on my iTunes and was wondering if I can just put them on my backup hard drive and remove them from my main computer to free up the space.

    I haven't done this with an external drive, but I would imagine it works the same way as if you have multiple internal drives.  Also hopefully it works with less headache in OSX than in windows.
    Anyway, move all your music over to your external, and then go into itunes -> preferences -> advanced -> iTunes media folder location.  Navigate to your drive, and pick the folder you want.  Ensure that your folders are set up like they are in your ~/Music/iTunes folder, or wherever your iTunes is currently pointing.  Then quit and restart itunes.  If your music doesn't show up, try dragging your music folder from your external onto itunes, and it will hopefully update your library.xml.
    As far as Jerry's problem goes, you could try adding another music folder to your library.xml, but I really have no idea whether this will work or not.  If you want to give it a try (can't promise you won't corrupt your library.xml, so make a copy beforehand) you can find the music folder xml element right near the top of the xml file (open it with textedit/textmate/whatever text editor you want (NOT WORD)).  Curious to know if this works, and if it doesn't I have other ideas so let me know.

  • When does a mountet network drive goes from green to red in colour due to low disk space?

    Hi,
    I have a number of network shares on MS 2008 R2 servers, that my users have mountet on their Win7 PC's.
    What is the limit for when a mountet network drive goes from green to red on the users PC, due to
    low disk space.
    My guess is below 10% but I can not
    find any confirmation of this
    anywhere online
    Kind regards,
    Carl-Marius

    Hi,
    As you mentioned, the red bar will display when the drive has less than 10% space.

  • My ipod 5th gen ios 7.0.6 crashed and keeps going from the apple logo, going to a black screen, back to the apple logo, then back to the black screen and so on. Furthermore, my laptop doesn't recognise that the iPod is connected. What do I do?

    Please help me out as this is very irritating. This has been happening for the last 20-30 minutes. It had roughly half battery left.

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
