Two Lacie drives failed at the same time??? HELP!

I have 2 Lacie drives, one older d2 250GB drive probably 4 years old and a newer d2 Quadra 500GB drive that is less than a year old (I think). I go to get on my computer this morning and needed to access one of the drives (the 250), but when selecting it, nothing was happening and finder froze. I couldn't get the system to respond so I turned my G5 off and back on and the drive than sounded like an airplane trying to take off. It wouldn't spin up at all. I'm pretty sure it's toast.
So I go to look at my other drive which is the backup drive (connected via FW800) and it seemed ok. I was able to pull some data off of it. While I was sitting there, TimeMachine started a backup and that's when the 500GB drive started clicking and the backup failed. I was able to eject it and turn it off/on, but it took a very long time to show up in Finder. So I ejected it again, turned it off, unplugged pwower from it, powered down my G5 and than powered that back up with the drive not attached. When I went to plug the power back into the drive I had a little problem - I couldn't remember which of the two cords from the 2 drives was the right one! So I tried the one that had the thicker cable and the drive wouldn't power up at all and than I tried the other one and it did power up, but ultimately had exactly the same problem as reported above.
So, when I get home from work, I'm going to try and reset the NVRAM which may or may not clear the problem with the 500GB working, but failing that, I'm in a real pickle. That backup drive has the only copy of whats on the other external! Do you have any other suggestions here? Can anyone clarify which power cube goes to which drive?
For the failed drive, is it worth it to open it up and replace the drive with a new one or just toss it and get something else? I'm in a real pickle here...

I spoke with Lacie support a few days ago and they suspect that the one drive had a catastrophic failure and the other (the newer one) was just a bad power supply. They are sending me a new PS and suggested that I at least try to remove the other drive from the case and see if I could get another system to read it. It pretty much did the same thing when it spun up - sounded like an airplane taking off.
Also, they told me that as a previous customer I am entitled to a discount on a new drive if I provided sales with the ticket number for the problem. So I called to see how good the discount was and I was pleasantly pleased. I ordered and have already received a 2TB Raid and have it installed as a RAID 1 for my main backup drive.
Now that leaves me with my old backup drive still waiting on a new PS to see if it will spin up. If it doesn't, I'm really up the creek since it was the backup for my system, including the other failed drive.
If it DOES spin up and I can access the data, that leaves me with another question. Can I access the Time Machine backups directly for the old drive? If so, will copying the latest backup folder give me all the data or is it spread out somewhere? Hopefully this will be my dilemma, cause at least the data will be there!
Thanks.

I seem to be running two versions of firefox at the same time help!

I seem to be running an older version and a new version of firefox at the same time. I run the new version from startup (it forgets previous tabs from last session) and this sadly does not let me use back and forward arrow buttons so its a bit useless. Strangely when I pop an email window up, the older version of firefox appears with the last few tabs I had browsed.
disabling plugins stops browser starting in new version and back and forward arrows work ok.
any help much appreciated!

You can install them both but there are a few steps to take.
When you install Firefox 4 use the custom installation option and choose a different location to install Firefox.
In order to use both versions, you need to create a new profile for Firefox 4 (Firefox stores user data in the profile). Using the same profile with different versions can cause problems. Once you create a new profile you can copy certain data such as bookmarks and passwords between them. You can also use Firefox Sync to keep the profiles synchronized. Finally, you will need to set up shortcuts to launch the correct profile for each version.
The following links show how to do this:

Can I connect my Mac to two separate wireless networks at the same time?

Need some assistance with some advanced wireless networking please....
Upstairs I have a D-link wireless router connected to the internet and wired to a couple of PCs. Downstairs I have a minimac linked to my hifi via an airport express. I have bought a D-Link DWL-G122 usb wifi dongle.
So I want the mini mac to connect to the airport express on one wireless network (strong signal) and to be able to connect to the internet on another network (weak signal) via the usb wifi /router.
But the airport software and the d-link driver seem to conflict and both try to take control of the two wireless devices.
Is there any way round this to be able to run one mac with two wireless network devices at the same time?
Thanks

While those with more experience may be able to correct me, I'm pretty sure that you can only connect to one wireless network at a time with your Mac Mini, unless D-Link provides their own proprietary software that bypasses the computer's Airport settings.
Using the AirPort hardware you can only connect to a single wireless network at any given time. However in this situation the 2 attempted connections are via USB and AirPort. Therefore this requires nothing special of the AirPort drivers or settings.
It does require that the Mac OS and applications have the capability to use either network connection (USB or AirPort) depending on what data they are trying to get. In general I understand how it is theoretically possible but I have no idea if you can configure OS X to do it.
...I believe one of the options when setting up the Airport Extreme Base Station is that you can extend a wireless network already in place.
True but the D-Link is not compatible with Apple's WDS therefore this is not possible in this situation.
If you have a newer Airport Extreme Base Station with a USB port on it...
FYI, every AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) has a USB port.
BTW, birky has indicated that he/she is using an AirPort Express (AX) not an AEBS.

One computer, but two user-accounts active, at the same time, in 10.6?

I'm contemplating this setup: A current generation MacPro (running SL), with two monitors. Can I have two separate user-accounts (the Admin account and one additional user-account) active and running simultaneously from the MacPro, but, of course, displayed separately to the monitor corresponding with that user-account?
Thank you!

you can have two accounts logged in at the same time via fast user switching but there is no way to display them at the same time on different monitors.

When our iPad is in use on the internet, my iMac internet connection goes off. I can't get the two devices to work at the same time with the AirPort Express. Is there a setting somewhere I may have missed?

When our iPad is in use on the internet, my iMac internet connection goes off. I can't get the two devices to work at the same time with the AirPort Express. Is there a setting somewhere I may have missed?

When two or more devices conflict it typically means that the DHCP service is either misconfigured or is not running at all. DHCP provides IP addresses to local network clients.
Is your AirPort Express base station the only router in your current network configuration? That is, is it connected directly to an Internet modem and not to another router upstream of it?

Before going ahead on this you should definitely check with Apogee as I think they do not recommend using their interface(s) in an Aggregate device.
Maybe that's changed.. not sure.

I downloaded two movies from itunes at the same time (both free digital copies from a dvd) and when they finished downloading... they disappeared. I've not been able to re-download them or find them.. anywhere. Any suggestions for tracking them down?

If you downloaded them on your computer's iTunes then they should have gone into the Movies part of your iTunes library, if on a device (iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch) then into the Videos app - they haven't appeared there ?
If you downloaded on your PC and they don't show in the Movies section then you could try searching for them by name (or part of their name) via windows explorer and see if that finds them. Or if you downloaded them on a device and they aren't in the Videos app then have you got a film age rating set in Settings > General > Restrictions that is hiding them, and if not can you find them via the device's spotlight search screen (swipe your first homescreen to the right) ?

Having two oracle clients installed at the same time

Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to have two oracle clients installed at the same time on one computer, and if there is a way to be changing the default client between the two. I need to have installed the oracle client 10g and 8 versions on the same computer, because we have a problem with a legacy application that for some reason only works with version 8, and we need the 10g because our new applications requires 8.1 or later. We are still migrating to the new system but we developers need to have the two clients. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Is it possible, sure.
Technically, clients before 8.1.5 were not multi-home compliant, so having Oracle 8 and Oracle 10g clients on the same machine is almost certainly not supported. On the other hand, I know that a number of developers at Oracle had combinations of Oracle 7 clients Oracle 8 clients, Oracle 8i clients, and Oracle 9i clients on their development machines at the same, so you shouldn't have too many major issues.
Most "default client" issues come down to which ORACLE_HOME is first in the system's PATH. Ideally, you would leave the Oracle 8 ORACLE_HOME first in the path and explicitly reference the 10g ORACLE_HOME when configuring anything that relies on the 10g client.

Can two subVI show up at the same time?

Can two subVI show up at the same time?

Hi,
Save the vi as a template (*.vit), then you can open it (dynamically) as
often as you want. If you make the vi "floating", you get the best results.
Regards,
Wiebe.

Problems to connect two external firewire hardrives at the same time

I try to have both external connected at the same time one via Firewire 800 and the other via Firewire 400 and it doesn't work. My solution is to change to Usb 2.0 one of them. Maybe I have a problem with my Firewire? How can I check if the ports are working properly?
Thank you in advance for any help!

I'm having a similar problem. New iMac 24" with one FW 400 and one FW 800. I have a Seagate in an external case connected to the FW 400 and I got a new LaCie D2 triple interface and am trying to connect via the FW 800. Both drives have their own power supplies. When I connect the LaCie to the 800 port, it mounts and works fine. But as soon as I connect the Seagate to the 400 port, the LaCie icon disappears and I get a message about improper removal of a device. So, both drives work fine when connected one at a time, but don't play nicely together. I will appreciate any suggestions.

FEBA - How to post two or more transactions at the same time?

Hi,
    one of our banks sends the statemets with many lines that belongs to the same transaction. We have to post partially one line, and afterwards the other line. Any of you know how to post two lines at the same time from the bank statement?
Thank you in advance,
Miguel

Hi,
I'm sorry for replying so late.
The solution I reached was to change the a few things in the standard.
Now I have a new "context menu item". I select two or more transactions and I right-click the mouse. I select that "context menu item" and the next part of the code adds the total amount of the transactions to look for the correct post for the first transaction. Once posted automatically, the next transaction is posted automatically by the system.
I hope you understand my English. I've problem with technical FI terms.
Here you are the code:
First I added a new contextual menu item:
