Sorry folks DVDs do play they play on my husbands machine and on my small 13 inch laptop so it's something strange going on with my desktop computer. None of the mountain lion machines will play DVD media files that I have on my raid drive but the DVDs that come right out of the box play fine.

Howdy.
Terry, here's something to check on.
If you have a new Mac, or if you have installed a clean Mountain Lion
OS, you might also need to install some of the video codex utilities
and players to enable some types of videos to play.
Check for these at MacUpdate site:
- Flip4Mac
- Perian (being discontinued but not sure when)
- VLC video player app.

Thanks Dan. My VLC works fine but I'll make sure it's up to date. I'll also check Flip4Mac. I don't have Perian.
I'm having such fun with Dictation. That's the best� what fun.

Jim, that's really useful info. Do you have the same info for "Mid-2011" iMacs? I occasionally need to know if a given iMac will still run Snow Leopard, and it would help so much to know for sure what model designation would tell me a given iMac is before or after the "no Snow Leopard" cutoff.

Howdy.
The formatted structure of a drive is not dependent on the type of
drive/case cable in use at time of formatting.
In other words, FW 800 is not something that the actual HD inside the
case is aware of but rather a little circuit board in the case (usually
called a bridge chip) connects to both a FW and to a USB port and then
a separate data connector runs from the bridge chip to the actual HD.
So the actual HD in the case doesn't care what kind of connection cable
is used.

Howdy.
A further note on this.
It appears that this saving of "zillions of saved snapshots" could be
related only to an IMAP type of email account and not to a POP type of
account.
I also asked a friend in Ogden, Utah, for help on this. He aimed me in
what we hope is the right direction. He is a member of this group but
rarely posts and used to be president of the Mile High Macintosh User
Group (MUG) in Denver, Colorado, years ago when I joined that MUG and
began to learn a lot.
Our quiet Ogden friend is also a fairly major Macintosh and video whizz
so I'm hoping I can encourage him to post occasionally when there is a
thorny video question that needs to be answered!

I am awaiting a Drobo Raid next week. Mine is 5D. I wonder what the difference is. The one I'm getting is 10TB iirc.

The 5D *is* the new one, and they state that it is "expected to ship to customers by the end of September".
There are several older models -- USB2 only, USB + Firewire 800, 4 drive bays, 6 drive bays, etc.
The 5D (and the also to-be-released Mini) are the first to have Thunderbolt and USB3 connectivity.

Five 2 TB hard drives would be 10 TB.

Some group members use GyazMail (I do) and the GyazMail people have
just released version 1.5.14 which has the Gatekeeper feature
incorporated for use with Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion.
