Using Lacie DVD enclosure with new HDD : Will it work ?

May be a silly question. Seems that my Lacie Firewire 400 External DVD burner with a 7.5 " enclosure is no longer working. Should I decide to buy an External Drive
for my Powermac G4. Will I encounter any difficulties installing the drive ?
Comments welcome.

With FireWire, you may not have any problems, but there's always the possibility that the bridge board in the enclosure isn't programmed for use with a hard drive (fixed media). An optical drive is classified as a removable media device. I tried connecting a hard drive to the bridge board from a Sony DVD burner enclosure with FireWire/USB 2.0 connectivity, but it wasn't recognized. Try it - you won't damage anything, but make sure the hard drive is configured as "master" and not the factory default of "cable select."

Using LaCie dvd burner with fce hd

has anyone out there used a LaCie dvd burner with toast titanium 6.1.1 to burn fce hd project? the fce hd files(as a QT file ) contains 2 folders --the movie file along with an a-v 1 file(assuming this a media file) are boththese files to be dropped into the TOAST titanium drop window for burning? burning a dvd takes hours and i'm trying to save myself a lot of aggravation--thanks folks

This is not a Final Cut Express related topic. You're more likely to find LaCie DVD burner users on forums like iDVD and DVD Studio Pro.

Using -private in conjunction with -new-window isn't working correctly

Using an external program to launch Firefox with command line arguments, it seems that using -private and -new-window URL doesn't seem to work correctly. It's almost as if one or the other gets completely ignored. Has anyone else noticed this?
Ideally, i'd like to be able to ALWAYS launch a new window to a specified URL in private mode by default.

It is not possible to open an external link in a Private Browsing mode window.
You can look at this extension:
*Private Tab: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/private-tab/
The Firefox menu button gets a purple background or you get a purple PB mask on the Menu bar or tab bar (Linux) when you are in a PB tab and all Private Browsing mode tabs get a dashed underlining unless you are in permanent PB mode.
You can set the extensions.privateTab.allowOpenExternalLinksInPrivateTabs pref to true on the <b>about:config</b> page to see if that works (haven't tested this with a command line).

If it is locked, yes you will have to unlock it to use with a Moroccan
wireless network. Only the wireless provider to which an iPhone
is locked can unlock it.
If you can get that far, what does it say when you look at Settings+>

Using older 500GB TC with new 1TB TC for extra storage

I recently upgraded to the duel channel 1 TB Time Capsule and was wondering if I can use the older single channel 500GB Time Capsule purely as extra storage on my network. I just hate to let the old TC collect dust when there is valuable storage on it...
I'm concerned that if I connect the 500GB TC to the new one with an ethernet cable, the WIFI functions on the old TC may interfere or confuse the the computers on my network trying to connect wirelessly to the older TC. I'd prefer not to join the older TC to the network wirelessly.
Questions:
1. If I connect the older TC to the new one using ethernet cable, will the WIFI functionality of the old one automatically turn off or will it turn on and search for devices to connect to?
2. Should I connect the two using ethernet, which I understand is a much faster connection, or do I need to connect the two using USB to use the older TC purely as additional storage?
3. Is there anyway to manually turn off the WIFI functionality of the older TC to act as an external drive only?
4. If the WIFI cannot be turned off, will it interfere with the signals of the new TC? And do I have to join it to the network at this point or will the ethernet or USB connections override and shutdown the WIFI?
5. Will this work at all without any trouble or do I need to invest in a simple external hard drive at some point and connect using USB or ethernet to gain additional network storage as the TC documentation indicates I can easily do?
Any guidance is appreciated!
Thanks.

Welcome to the discussions!
+1. If I connect the older TC to the new one using ethernet cable, will the WIFI functionality of the old one automatically turn off or will it turn on and search for devices to connect to?+
If you previously had the older TC setup to broadcast a wireless network, then it will continue to do so unless you set the Wireless Mode to "Off" in AirPort Utility.
AirPort Utility > Manual Setup > Wireless tab (just below icons) > Wireless Mode = Off.
Also, if you are connecting the older TC to the new TC using ethernet, you would run an ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on the new TC to the WAN (circle icon) port on the old TC. The old TC would need to configured as a "bridge"
AirPort Utility > Manual Setup > Internet Icon > Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode).
+2. Should I connect the two using ethernet, which I understand is a much faster connection, or do I need to connect the two using USB to use the older TC purely as additional storage?+
Use ethernet configured as above. USB will not work in this type of application.
+3. Is there anyway to manually turn off the WIFI functionality of the older TC to act as an external drive only?+
See #1 above.
+4. If the WIFI cannot be turned off, will it interfere with the signals of the new TC? And do I have to join it to the network at this point or will the ethernet or USB connections override and shutdown the WIFI?+
See # 1 above.

You haven't mentioned whether you plan to use the TC for Time Machine backups or other file storage. Can you clarify on how you plan to use the old TC?

Thanks for the help Niel. I couldn't change the rescue email address (an address that no longer exists and is therefore useless) until I could correctly answer the security questions. After numerous guesses, finally got them right. Was then presented with the option to change the rescue email address. Guess the only other option was to have Apple Support make the change or reset my account info. Have made note of the correct answers so this won't happen again. Thanks for the fast response!!

I have got VLC which runs them fine but cannot get movies saved in iPhoto to play in VLC...and of course its a real bugger to copy moves from iPhoto to another folder; in fact if anyone can tell me how to do that I will accept defeat!

I have an HP photosmart8250 printer and wondering when I buy a new ipad will it work with that?

There's a list of printers that support AirPrint, the native mechanism for printing from iOS, here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356
I don't see the 8250 listed. HP has an app that enables printing to some of their other wireless printers; search the iTunes Store and you should find it as well as some other printing apps. Otherwise you can connect the printer to your computer and route the printing through the computer. f you have a Mac, Printopia might be worth a look:
http://www.ecamm.com/mac/printopia/
If you have a Windows system, search the web for something like "airprint Windows hack" and you'll find instructions on enabling printing.
Another option is an AirPrint-capable print server. Lantronix makes a couple of models, including one that supports a USB printer:

Iphoto crashes so tried the Alt start with new library and that worked. So now what? How to I get back to my pictures.

Iphoto crashes so tried the Alt start with new library and that worked. So now what? How to I get back to my pictures.

That shows you that iPhoto is working correctly and whatever issue you are having is based in your original library.
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

TS3899 Cannot send email with new iPad air. Works fine with old iPad and iPhone.

Cannot send email with new iPad air. Works fine with old iPad and iPhone. I have deleted account and reinstalled.

Thanks. I got the problem fixed. Spent time with the Apple folks and was kicked up to a senior advisor. It seems the problem was with my internet provider - Tmie Warner. Remember I could use the old ipad and the iphone to send mail. I checked all the specifics between the three units. It seems that TW is changing over from the RR.com to TWC.com. Since the new ipad air was just set up, it fell under the new TWC mail specifics.

Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your iPod. Only if you back up your iPod manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Do this:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPod to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your iPod without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPod for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in iTunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

Cannot convert webpages to pdf using Acrobat X Pro with IE9 and Windows 7, worked fine until a few m

Cannot convert webpages to pdf using Acrobat X Pro with IE9 and Windows 7, worked fine until a few months and updates ago

I tried your suggestion, not knowing that the direct pdf printer would also "save as" PDF, but when I try your suggestion and use the Adobe PDF printer that is a direct creation of the PDF from the browser (IE9), instead of the "black out" areas I get when I use the "Convert to" button, I get missing blocks of the resulting PDF, and only get the first 1/4 to 1/3 of the webpage.
Just to clarify, when I said I print the webpage and then scan, that is a work around I have to do if I need a scanned version of the way a webpage appears on a particular date and time, instead of the one step process I used to be able to do when Adobe Acrobat would actually convert the webpage to a pdf without blackout areas or, if I try your suggestion, blank spots with a partial webpage. But the idea was one I had not thought of and I appreciated the thought.
Yes, Acrobat was updated, and is updated, and was working fine until a few months ago, Win 7 and Office 32 bit versions, Office 2010

Can I re-use & edit old dvd project with new video/audio??

I video a dance company's Christmas performance each year and I plan to use the same theme and many of the titles and scenes are the same. So I'm hoping there is a way to bring all the work I did last year in iDVD forward and just make any updates to the scene titles as needed. All the video and audio will be new and I'll prepare it in iMovie with chapter markers as I did last year. If I can import the audio & video into iDVD without redoing all the text and buttons it would be great. Has anyone had experience with this?

Brian,
If you "archived" the iDVD project then the answer is yes it's pretty easy - I recommend you do that this year!
If you didn't archive the project, then you've got some work to do. There are some applications like DVDxDV, MPEG Streamclip+the Apple MPEG2 Playback Component, and ExportToQT (which come with MPEG2Works) that will convert the VOB MPEG 2 video files on your DVD back to DV files that iMovie or FCP/FCE can use again. But it is time consuming to convert back, and some of these apps are easier than others.
You might try DVDxDV to see what's involved. There is a trial version. Even so, you'd need to re-build the menus, etc...... and if you have all new video, I don't think it will help much.
So my bet is you'll be better off just starting from scratch this year.....but then archive the project to use next year!
