Dear all, Excuses to you and all the others in my address book, and even Facebook!!!, who were invaded by a strange email through my Gmail account. It wasn't me! Very worried, but there is not so much I can do about it. I asked the owner of the internet cafe to install virus protection, but from what I learned from experience that hardly helps. These virus writers are just too fast... Also traveling through African countries I often have to depend on internet cafes that are not protected at all. Hope it won't happen again...

Thanks for this list, Brook - that's really helpful. I've had problems with Lacie drives. And yet I've still bought more.

[videoblogging] Re: External hard drive problems ?
Brook, thanks for the pointers. It's my understanding that Lacie G-Tech both format drives only for the Mac. One problem has been happening. The new G-Tech drive mounts when the computer starts and then, at random unpredictable times, it drops off and I get a improper device removal notice. I guess that is the same as unplugging it or turning if off without unmounting it. To have it remount, I just turn it off and then back on again it remounts without any problem. Maybe, my problem is related to iMovie since it frequently required relaunching when I am creating a new file. iMovie also opens more slowly when you go into it. There are no playback problems so long as I am in the two internal drives with any of the videos playing. Thanks again for your imput.

[videoblogging] Re: External hard drive problems ?
That's really good to know. I just shuddered when I heard how expensive data recovery costs. Then a friend told me his girlfriend had spent quite a sum because that was the only way to recover irreplaceable photos, etc. I guess that also underscores the importance of having all your data backed up somewhere. Thanks for the tip. Hope I never have to use it.

[videoblogging] Re: External hard drive problems ?
I've heard so much conflicting testimony about Lacie external drives. Your point that it appears on all the external drives is something I hadn't thought of in exactly that way. The internal drives play everything without any problem. It's time consuming and sometimes confusing when you have to continually shift clips--in my case, JPOP music videos--from some external drive to the one 500 GB internal drive that has space since the first internal drive is filled up with my applications.

[videoblogging] Re: External hard drive problems ?
That's not beside the point at all. I'm now realizing how fragile data is. My old PC crashed twice in years past. Since I got my Mac a couple years ago, I've been splendidly complacent. Some friends who work as professional video editors producing documentaries for Cable Channels tell me that every drive eventually fails. Now, they work on them all day, every day. Do drives age fail when they are just being used for storage? Mechanics have told me that a car sitting at the curb deteriorates just-as/even-more quickly than one that's driven a lot. It's something I haven't researched. I've been working with video since 1970. I discovered that even different brands of VHS tape differed in their life-expectancy. (TDK VHS tapes played 20 years later while others did not.) I know digital images are supposed to last forever but none of us are going to live long enough to check that declaration out. I'd hate to one day go to my back-up files and find they had deteriorated. One final note, Lacie suggests not using their drive with Time Machine as a back-up on video files because something in the formatting causes a lag when they are played. Thanks for the thoughts.
