Simultaneous FW and USB external hd operation
(1) Backing up data onto an external USb hard drive
(2) playing iTunes, whereby the music files are located on another external, however FW hard drive.
No problem so far. However, when I try to copy a song from the FW hd to the iMac's desktop, it is only "preparing to copy". Obviously, I have to wait until the USB copying has been completed before it will copy the music file over.
So, why is there no write access to the FW hd while the USB is active?
