Why the pinwheel and the long wait when I hit record? External HD problem?

Running LE8 on an iMac 2.16/2G RAM.
I just picked up a Rocstor FW 400 external drive for recording. When I start a project, give it a name and define the path for it to be saved locally, I get no problems at all. It seems however that when I define the path to save to the external HD that every time I hit record (regardless of how many tracks or how large the project is) I have to wait for 45 - 60 seconds before my click comes in and I'm able to lay down a track. Every time too...very annoying.
Any ideas on what the issue could be or to perhaps troubleshoot more?
Thanks.

I think you're right. I double checked the manual and it does say that they ship them with FAT32 for testing purposes. I ran the disk utility on it and formatted it, hopefully this will solve the problem.
I'll try tomorrow and let you know.
Thanks much.

  • Why the long wait to get fios installed?

    All you read about these days is how the verizon strike hasn't affected service to their customers, and yet I can't even get a date to install the service. To add insult to injury, the operators on the phone refuse to even acknowledge that the strike is the cause for the long delays. Does Verizon really not understand that a person can not wait a month to have tv, phone and Internet installed? I suppose time warner is my only option at this point even with their inferior product.
    If Verizon's treatment of a life long customer is any reflection of how they treat their workers, perhaps unions still play an important role. If only there were consumer union groups...
    If anyone has any ideas on how to actually get fios installed in a reasonable time frame, please inform me. This whole experience has really degraded my opinion of Verizon, a company that currently gets way too much of my hard earned money.

    One month? Good luck with that as I am expecting it to be longer than that.  I just moved and had my fios / tv install scheduled for last Wed 8/10/11 and the automated system called me the night before cancelling it on me and stating they have no install dates scheduled but will call when they start accepting them again.  Not sure how long I can leave the family hanging with only OTA on the tv and phones for surfing.............

  • Why the long wait between the pre-order date and the shipping date of the Motorola Razr??????????

    I don't understand Why Verizon made the shipping date for the Motorola razr two full weeks after the pre-order date? Versus what it did with the iphone 4s where the dates were only 1 week a part. I order it on the 27th.

    I know I really can't wait to get the phone.  I was hoping it might come a little earlier than the 10th but probably not. 

  • My Photoshop and Bridge CS6 is getting spastic ( long waits when I back out of a folder, etc. ) Is it still OK to deactivate and reinstall?

    My Photoshop and Bridge CS6 is getting spastic ( long waits when I back out of a folder, etc. ) Is it still OK to deactivate and reinstall?

    First, have you tried resetting your Preferences? It does fix a lot of problems.
    Photoshop:
    If you need a quick and dirty way to restore your preferences, here's a way you can do it using a keyboard shortcut on launch:
    Windows - CTRL-SHIFT-ALT immediately after you double-click the PS icon.
    Macintosh - CMD-SHIFT-OPTION immediately after you double-click the PS icon.
    Bridge:
    Start Adobe Bridge and immediately press Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS) until the Reset Settings dialog box appears. Select all three options--Reset Preferences, Reset Standard Workspaces, and Purge Entire Thumbnail Cache--and then click OK.

  • Why the clock disappears when you recieve a call !!

    Dear iphoners,
    It is really strange why the clock disappears when you receive a call "during ringing" ..
    for me it is really matter to know the time just before I answer .. you can notice that when your phone is ringing , you can't see the time and you are stuck !!
    I'm sure some of you are sharing the same concern .. how can we send this to the developers to solve this issue !!
    just to let you feel my concern .. Imagine yourself sleeping and suddenly someone called you "your Boss", you just woke up and you have no idea what is the time .. its bad to answer and ask the caller what is the time !! .. and its annouing to wait till the phone stop ringing to check the time then you call back !!
    Please let me know if there is a way to solve this .. or at least let’s ask the developers to solve it
    Thanks,
    Muataz

    When trying to download apps on my new iPad I keep getting prompted to update my security questions for my safety. When I choose this option it freezes and won't load the questions, however, when I hit not now it won't let me download. What do I do?

    Reboot your iPad and then see if you can set the security questions.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • I know my network connection is fine and I've checked all the cables and that the tv is set to the correct source, but even though Apple Tv is on and responds with beeps when I hit the button, I see nothing on the screen. What do I do next?

    I know my network connection is fine and I've checked all the cable connections and my television is set to the correct input, but even though the remote beeps when I hit the button, I see nothing on the screen. The troubleshooting section in the setup guide says to make sure that Apple Tv is connected to my network by choosing Settings>General>Network. How do I do this? What do I need to do to get everything back? I've been using the Apple tv for a while now, and suddenly it's doing this.

    On the command line:

    2. For the "left-arrow-key-not-working" issue, you may want to try this:

    You need to speak to the developer. They should have some sort of contact link on their iTunes page.  This is just a user to user tech support forum, no one here has any sort of control over apple or what developers do.
    The game developer may also have some sort of fix on their site, so look there.

    If you tap and hold down the icon - and the X does not appear on the icon - you will not be able to delete it without totally downloading it. Finish the download and then delete it.
