[QUOTE="Bromie, post: 1077343, member: 164084"] Just checked again now - my iPhoto library and .mkv files copy fine to my iMac's HD (just dragged from a TM backup folder onto the desktop), but if that file is then copied onto the Iomega the problem occurs (pixelated video, strange corruption of bits of the photo library, etc.). I'm starting to think it must be a problem with the Iomega. Haven't got a clue how or why this would affect videos or photos in this way, but i can't think of any other reason. Until the problem with the drive not showing up in Finder (but showing up in DU) with the error possibly due to incorrect shutdown (sometimes my Mac seems to close everything on shutdown - Dock, Finder, etc. - just leaving the desktop image but never does anything else, hence the forced shutdown), i've never had a problem with it. I never even thought that a file copy could affect the file until now! Anyway, i'll probably exchange the drive (it's not that old), but just in case this isn't the drive's fault does anyone have any idea about what's going on? Dan. [/QUOTE]
