when i purchased my G5, the store partitioned the hard drive with 15 GB on start up drive, remainder on HD2. All applications reside on HD1. Everything has been fine for years, but I am suddenly experiencing all kinds of errors when trying to edit audio tracks in imovie. I only have 1.5 GB available now in HD1, so I am guessing that this is causing the problem? I have tried to get rid of everything I could (even moving things off of HD1), but can't get rid of or move other things "without permission". Then other programs started failing (itunes couldn't find my library), Quicktime won't share in expert settings.....things are beginning to snowball quickly!
I have 3 external drives, 2 firewire, one USB, where I have tried to move most of my imovie projects to. Called the guy at the local mac store and he told me to move evrything i could off of HD2 and edit projects off of firewire drive, because the internal drive "was working too hard". Does this make sense? I did it and it did not improve my audio editing problem. If I try and adjust audio at all, (move along timeline, fade, delete) i get spinning wheel for a few minutes. Forget about trying to zoom or play anything while in timeline mode. Help me please!
