Are you running Mac OS 9.x?

If your LaCie drive is not being recognized by the recording

 

software, you may be experiencing an extension conflict

 

between the software and iTunes or DiscBurner. There are

 

two possible solutions to this problem.

 

If you do not plan on using iTunes or DiscBurner, follow these

 

steps:

 

1) From the Apple Menu, go to Control Panels and open the

 

Extensions Manager.

 

2) Scroll down to the Extensions folder and disable

 

(uncheck) the USB Authoring Support and the FireWire

 

Authoring Support.

 

3) Click on the Restart button to restart your computer.

 

4) Launch the recording software again and check to see if it

 

recognizes the drive now.

If you plan on using both the recording software and iTunes or DiscBurner, you may want to create a separate Extension Set for the recording software:

1)From the Apple Menu, go to Control Panels and open the Extensions Manager.

2)Press the Duplicate Set button.

3)Give the new Extension set a name, such as Writing.

4)Scroll down to the Extensions folder and disable (uncheck) the USB Authoring Support and the FireWire Authoring Support.

5)Click on the Restart button to restart your computer.

Now when you want to use this set, simply go back into

Extensions Manager choose your new set from the Selected

Sets pull-down menu.
