HI ,
I just ran onyx, both on the whole main drive, then on a particular
folder. it seems to have corrected some of the files, but a few are still
invisible. I will work on some of my shots today and see what happens, and
let you know.. Thanks for the help

Howdy and Merry.
Late firing up the Mac today!
And it just started to snow here!
OnyX works on the entire operating system and various parts of it and
it not much intended to be used on a single folder.

Thanks. As I wasn't sure, i ran it on the whole system first, and then
there was a section where you could browse to a folder.
Merry Christmas and thanks. The real test will come when I work on some
images today.

Howdy and Merry.
Many, many, many playback devices will work fine with an Audio CD but
may not want to play the music file on a data CD or DVD disc.
It can depend on the playback device.
In addition, you have to be careful about ever using a CD-RW CD type of
blank disc. CD-RW means it's ReWritable, can be used again, but you
may run into problems when attempting to play this type of disc on
other computers, car stereo systems, older computer equipment, etc.

David, this is not accurate. Since you can burn an Audio CD on your
Mac using iTunes and not pay a royalty I think that's the proof of that
(Christmas?) pudding.
However, the real difference is that the music tracks on an Audio CD
are not compressed and nearly any music file format you would use for a
data CD is compressed in some way. Apple does have it's uncompressed
format, however, available in iTunes prefs.
The technical standard for an Audio CD is called the Red Book CD
standard.
You can read more here:
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Book_%28CD_standard%29 >
This was released by Philips and Sony in 1980. The story associated
with Audio CD development is that Philips went to conductor Herbert Von
Karajan (Berliner Philharmoniker, the guy who conducted the symphony as
Berlin was going up in flames and ruins in 1945) and asked him what
capacity he'd like to have in this new music technology.
Von Karajan thought a moment and responded that he had never been able
to listen to all of Beethoven's 9th Symphony without flipping over an
LP record. So they designed the new Audio CD to hold all of
Beethoven's 9th (with the Ode to Joy as last movement which is now the
anthem of the European Union).
So the uncompressed format is a very big difference.
Quality note. If you buy or RIP music into MP3 format in iTunes, note
that this is a highly compressed format, a "lossy" format. When you
burn an Audio CD using MP3 files you don't get the lost data/quality
back even though these files become uncompressed again on the new Audio
CD you make.
If you play such a disc on a good quality stereo system, you will hear
the difference.
I have a Cambridge SoundWorks sub woofer and mid range/tweeters on my
MacPro and I can hear the difference between an AIFF file and the same
tune in MP3 format but I don't think I could hear the difference on a
standard car stereo system or on an iPod.

Dan, the firewire 800 connection on back the iMac is poorly designed. If you move the screen of the iMac, the stupid 800 connected wire on the back of the screen tends to always loosen. One might expect a connection to snap into the iMac, but it only slides onto the 800 connection. And yet Apple allows us to swing the screen to adjust, which is fine, if it doesn't loosen anything on back that's slid into place.
However, the 800 connection isn't always loose, and Time Machine STILL hangs on occasions. That is why I asked if there is any firmware updates for this external HD.
Hope you and the list have a peaceful holiday. jr
