Oh...dear!

I had almost the sam scenario again last night. I got locked volume messages and one stating there was a "Quick Time Error" and that there was "no such volume".

Again it was a warm night and the problem arose around an hour into the show. I wonder whether my MacBookPro or the external ...

How awful - there are some rotters out there! Good good job you had the UPS and a lesson to the rest of us

Thanks for the advice, Dave. I'm still deciding what to do hardware wise.
