USB 2.0

The Issue

The drive is not
recognized.

Questions to Ask

Is there a conflict with other device
drivers or extensions?

Possible Solutions

Mac OS 9.x Users:

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 

Disc Burner

. There are two possible solutions to this

problem. 

If you do not plan on using iTunes or Disc Burner, 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 

Disc Burner

, 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

, and from the pull-down menu from

Selected Sets:

, choose your new Extension set.
