What sort of file does your iphone make? specs.
And it could be that the audio is conforming while you are attempting to play it. Do you see a progress bar on the lower right of your PPro window? I occasionally import mpg files that I have to wait for the audio to conform. The longer the file, the longer it takes.
Like Dave said, you can always transcode to another audio format.

I think what Bob is saying, if you want the cheap route, to purchase one enclosure and drives. That would be the MacPro. Storage, editing, and backup in one enclosure.
Otherwise, you will want 2 external enclosures and drives so that you can back up your media. Because if one enclosure/drive fails at RAID-0 – you lose all your media, you are back at square one with your entire project.
And what is the throughput (data rate) for those cheap external drives? That is another consideration.
Good Luck!

You can use the Magic Wand tool to select each country. Problem is, with some of those countries like Norway, Denmark, Greece – they have a lot of islands that you will have to add in. When you do the magic Wand on a large section of land in the country you want, then hold the Shift key and select additional areas that are part of that country, if you need to. Then add a new layer and you can fill with color on the new layer.
You may want to check out some basic PS tutorials as well.
Hope this helps!

You don’t say what your 2 disk enclosure is, but I’ll go out on a limb and say that it doesn’t have an onboard RAID controller, so the RAID is a Windows Software RAID set that Mac isn’t able to utilize. Which is why the individual drives show up fine, but the RAID set does not.
Put it on a Win PC to read it.
Good Luck!

[Abraham Chaffin] “Do you know why your IP address might have been trying to communicate to the COW in this manner?”
HA! No, I do not know why that would happen! That is weird, because I’ll be reading posts just fine and then I’ll be blocked. So it must be using a TCP/IP port to start.
I can’t see any of our switches or routers doing that. It would have to be my Mac. Which is really strange why it would only try to communicate with the Cow in that manner. -
Yep. And just when you assume you know the problem is when you get that one strange thing. Best to know for sure!

Most likely. But certainly simple to check with ‘Get Info’.

Although, why would a G-RAID be FAT32? G-Drive, maybe, but a G-RAID? Unless someone re-formatted it.
Best way to check format is to right click or CTRL-Click and select Get Info. Look at what the info says as Format.
If you need cross-platform. Put the drive on a PC and format exFAT. Will do what you need then.

Plenty cautious. The units themselves can last, but the batteries need replacing about every 2 years or so. If you are buying a used unit, get a new battery!
Good Luck!
