Hi Wamuggians
Trying to burn a TV show recorded with EyeTV and stored on a WD
Mybook
500Gb ext HD - coming up with the above message. Have googled the
message and get multitude of pages but not that error in the first 5
pages. Assuming if not near top of list, it is not there? Can
anyone
assist with this error message, please?
I have been having all sorts of problems with EyeTV/Toast ever
since I
tried to burn two separate shows one after the other. On the iMac,
if
I try to get into the editor of EyeTV, I just get the turning wheel
forever, and can't even force quit or access other windows and
eventually just have to power off to restart the computer. With the
MacBook Pro, I can get into the editor but takes a long time, and
often get a message saying that the WD Mybook has disconnected. I am
suspicious of this message as sometimes it isn't disconnected? I
tried deleting (from Applications Folder)& reinstalling both
programmes but nothing seems to have improved. Are there bits of
files
elsewhere that I should also have deleted?
The WD HD is connected to a router rather than to either of the
computers. iMac is 10.4.11, Macbook Pro is 10.5.5, Toast 7, EyeTV
2.5.3 on Pro & EyeTV 1.8.6 on iMac.
Many thanks in advance, Alex

Hi Alex
I don't have an answer for the error code, but one thing I would try
(If
possible) is to direct connect the hard drive to one of the
computers and
try it that way, eg USB2 or Firewire.
See if you get the same error or message.
This will help rule out if it's the software or something else.
Eg, if it works fine then you know the drive is fine and the
software is
fine and then you'd need to look at why it faults when on the router.
If you still get the same errors from a direct connection then it
could be
something with the drive itself.
That should at least get you started to tracking it down.
Hope that helps.
Kind Regards
Daniel

Thank you Daniel - I did try connecting the WD HD directly to the
Macbook Pro but it did not seem to mount (I was doing it with an
ethernet cable). I have trouble in this regard with both computers
intermittently where it does not appear sometimes. The last time on
the Macbook Pro I was only able to connect by going through the Apple/
Recent Items path! I'm sure that is not the way it is supposed to
be. Shall try this again, though.
Cheers, Alex
