128gb = 100 gb; how to reduce their 28gb?

I have MBA 13/128/4GB configuration, it's fab and am very happy.
The 128GB ssd actually turns into 100GB being available, 'their' 28gb presumably having OSX and iLife files.
From memory, OSX is around 8GB, and I can only assume that the balance is therefore iLife
Within iLife, I only use iPhoto - that is to say, I don't use iMovie, iDVD, Garageband (GB). I know that GB is probably the biggest space user, esp with all the app support files.
So, my question is:
. can I remove them by using the Apple USB and unchecking their option in the Customize field (I'm assuming that's what's offered, I haven't yet inserted their USB drive)
. can I also de-select parts of OSX that I don't need like all the printer drivers, for example, though I think they're already stripped out, the system relying on SU to pair the printer to OSX (what happens if u need to print and there's no connection?)
. or do I simply delete the apps (using say App Cleaner to select the associated files too)?
. how do I add them back in without having to do a customized 'archive and install' installation?

Tony- This is because the full installation has everything. All the iLife apps take up loads of GB, plus you have all the printer drivers which is like another 2GB, plus languages.
Your best option would be to do a clean install of the OS, provided you have the drive backed up/cloned is best, as you can boot to your old system, and even restore if you needed to from the clone (I use SuperDuper). By doing a clean install, you can deselect everything but the basic OS installation. Then you can go say add only iPhoto, as I did. I don't use any of the other iLife apps. That would give you under 10GB of installed data.
Of course, then you install your other apps, data, etc.
I have reinstalling down to a science. I can take a new computer and within 3 hours have it identical to my previous computer. The longest part is getting all the software ready (serial numbers, etc). Can't wait for the Mac app store to save me time there.

In app store some applications are of very small size like 15-20 Mb and after installing them they become more than 100 mb. how to determine their actual size???

The app store size is probably just the software, while the size on your iPhone includes data.
You can determine the size on your iPhone by looking at Settings > General > Usage.

How to reduce jpg file size, not pixel dimensions?

I am preparing images for the web and I really have 2 questions: one about gifs, and one about jpgs.
My standard procedure is to reduce the image to the desired pixel dimensions at 600 dpi
That gives me a crisp small image. then I either use it as is if the file size is low enough (I try for under 600 kb) or convert it to a gif with the save for web and devices tool.
So here are my 2 questions (I will count this solved with either answer)
1) When I convert to a gif I have the 4 boxes: one with original size, the other 3 with options but often the options are too low res for me How do I change my 3 options to start at a higher gif res?
2) If I try to reduce the file size of the jpg in the image size box I set the resolution lower ( 400, 300), which lowers the pixel dimensions and the filesize, but I don't want to cahnge the pixel dimensions. And If I reset the pixel dimensions back to the size I want them, even though it is a lower resolution the file size doesn't change. How to reduce jpg file size using only the resolution, not pixel dimensions? PS I have tried messing with checking and unchecking the 3 little boxes( scale styles, constrain proportions, and resample) but nothing has worked.

Gif is not a great filetype, especially if you want a crisp image. What are your pixel dimensions?
For web, it makes no difference what the dpi is, only the final pixel dimensions so once you have that as you want, use 'Save for Web and Devices' and you can lower the quality - 100% being max and 0% being lowest. I wouldn't save anything below 55%. For a 600kb image, your dimensions must be rather big.

Simple IPhoto Questions-How to reduce picture file size?

Hello,
I know how to reduce the size of photos using the Mail program, but is there a simple way to reduce the size of photo files and keep them for sending through the internet at later dates. I would like to keep the photos at their original size for viewing, but transfer photos to a file where they will be used to send over the net in much smaller format size.
thanks

As Larry says, you can resize the pics on Export using the File -> Export command.
and keep them for sending through the internet at later dates.
The intention in iPhoto is that you would only reduce the size on a case-by-case basis, rather than resize the whole library. As iPhoto always maintains the Originals this require quite a lot of disk space

Urgent HELP - How to reduce the number of entries in table MESYBODY?

Does anyone know how to reduce the number of records in synchronization table MESYBODY and MESYHEAD? The reason I wanted to reduce these tables is because I believe they have so many duplicated entries that causes extremely slow performance everytime we sync. Currently, there are almost 50,000 records for approximately 100 users, and I believe it shouldn't be that much.
We are running into a problem that it takes approximately 25-30 minutes to sync.
Any advices would be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Dai

Hi Dai,
please try to run the middleware job WAF_MW_MAPPING. For some applications (Mobile Time and Travel for example) this helps to clean the tables.

How to reduce the cloning time if using cold backup?

Hi,
We are using EBS r12 (12.0.6) with database 10.2.0.3 in Linux Redhat 4 32-bit envoirnment.
Our datbase size is around 480 GB and we are facing the issues to provide the clone to my consultants for meet the target timelines in given time.
(Source:)---- Production Dell R900 Server machine having 32-GB RAM and 8 Quard Core CPU's.
(Target:)---- Clone Dell 2950 Server machine having 16-GB RAM and 4-Quard Core CPU's.
Currectly we are taking cold backup like:
1: Auto shutdown EBS r12 database nighthy at 12:00 AM daily and compress the backup using tar utility in linux. This process takes 6:00 hours aprox:
2: After that we move compressed file to clone machine and then uncompressed it, and this process takes 5:00 hours aprox.
3: And performe standard cloning steps.
Questions:
1: How to reduce time of this backup process?
3: Is there any other way to reduce the cloning process.
2: What type of backup oracle recommended to their customers for this type of process?
Thanks.

1: How to reduce time of this backup process?Without using third party tools, it might be hard to tune the timing of compressing/uncompressing the file.
Have you tried to use scp command? This would help if your network throughput is acceptable.
3: Is there any other way to reduce the cloning process.Since the main issue you have with the copy, then you might copy the files remotely from the source to the target, or using any other storage/backup tools (like file system snapshot).
2: What type of backup oracle recommended to their customers for this type of process?Oracle does not recommend any type of backup as the tools used are not Oracle products.
Thanks,
Hussein

How to reduce image size on account of disk space shortage?

I import images from my camera to iPhoto on my MacBook. I want to reduce their size on import because hard disk space on MacBook is limited.
Is there any smart way how to perform it? I have not found any presets on Import dialog to reduce size.

If the photos are important then get an external FW hard drive and move the library to it and operate from there. Delete the library from your MacBook.
Next create a new library on the MB and copy only the photos that you have an immediate need for from the external library with the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager. It will copy the metadata, keywords, faces, places, and edited versions between libraries. You will a lean, mean travelin' library for the MB.
You you add photos to the library on the MB while you're on the road you can copy them to the main library in the same manner with iPLM when you get back home.

How to reduce size of the executables

Colleagues,
I just would like to share small tip, which may be useful for someone else.
Sometimes size of LabVIEW - based executable is pretty big (especially if you have placed arrays or graphic on the front panel, then set values as default, etc). Time to time we have discussed - how to reduce size of the builded executable. One possible soultion is open source Ultimate Packer for eXecutables - UPX and it seems to be OK for LabVIEW - based apps. Also command line arguments passed correctly.
For example, Vision Assistant (which is LabVIEW-written itself) packed from 7 MB to 5 MB and works.
with best regards,
Andrey.

In the days of <$100 1TB HDs and 20mbps FIOS, this seems less and less of a real problem that needs to be solved.
I am curious if this works also with older LabVIEW executables. Many years ago I was beta testing a similar utility and it would break LabVIEW executables. They were able to work around it but the compression benefit was less.
Just curious.
From the UPX documentation:
"Obviously UPX won't work with executables that want to read data from themselves"
LabVIEW Champion . Do more with less code and in less time .

How to reduce an illustrator file to 25 percent without losing quality?

I have created a graphic image at full size. The graphic company has requested the file to be reduced to 25% to allow uploading. I have no idea how to reduce the entire image while keeping it an illustrator file. I am also worried about losing the quality once it is expanded to 100%.

The file I have created is at full scale it is 186 inches by 152 inches. It
contains other things such as text and smaller images on top of the file. I
would like to keep all of the proportions but I am needing to scale my file
down to 25 percent of the original image. The graphic company requests this
and they plan to open it and rescale it to 100 percent. I am also worried
about losing quality when they rescale this photo. Am I making sense?

How to reduce the pdf version & how to remove all the pre-delivered field from a pdf file.

Hi Team,
1) Please help me to reduce the version of a pdf file which is v1.7 as my BI Publisher support only pdf version upto Version1.5.
2)This pdf file 1.7 contains some pre-delivered fields, i want to remove all the pre-delivered fields. Please suggest.
PFA link:-
http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-539.pdf
Please guide to remove the pre-delivered fields from this pdf & how to reduce the version.

A lot depends on what you want to do with the file. The encryption has limited most options on the form. If you are wanting to simply post a view of the form, then you might try a screen capture. Of course there is always the question of what you want to do with the form and any legal aspects related to that use. Other than answering potential legal questions of your use, we might be able to help more if we were aware of the desired use. At the moment, the screen capture is my only suggestion. There may be other work arounds, but probably not appropriate for discussion on this forum.
If you are wanting the form for publication as an example in some document, I would strongly suggest you contact the gov't agency and discuss your intent and try to get a version you can use with their approval. Overall, that is the cleanest way to do whatever you are after for a legit purpose. Even a graphic version should have the permission of the government agency.

Update New Records is taking much time to complete. How to reduce

Hi,
Iam having a Table with 200 Clumns and trying to Update 5 columns and the table has 5lakh Records. It is taking very much time 2hours to complete. Pls let me know why is this taking time how to reduce....
In my ssis Package iam using

Please help ism stuck?

I have somthing like this..
Update table
Set column1 =@column1, column2=@column2,column3=@column3,column4=@column4,column5=@column5
where column1=@column1
in this case i need to add a index on column1 right? Pls llet me know
Yes, an index in column1 (preferably clustered) would avoid the table scan for each update. The ELT the staging table alternative Jim suggested will likely perform better than individual updates for a large process like this.

How to reduce number of colors in an image

I am fairly new to Photoshop and I'm learning as I go, so I apologize for using your time. I haven't worked with images that much - I've used MS Digital Image Suite with photos from my camera. That's the extent of my knowledge.
I am taking over a job from someone who is gone and I can't ask him how to do this. He used Photoshop to reduce the number of colors in an image (for example, a color drawing or clipart) to 2-6 colors. I haven't been able to figure this out. I've visited this site that explains how to reduce tones but it's still a lot of colors. I thought I might learn something from this link that explained how to make Photoshop cartoons, but I didn't. I've done a lot of searching but nothing seems to explain this. I know that the other guy had some knowledge of Photoshop but he wasn't a power user.
Thanks to anyone who will help me. (I am using CS5.)

Are you sure that he was using Photoshop? (see my third solution)
There are some plug-ins for Photoshop, but they basically do the same as the posterize or index mode: http://www.topazlabs.com/simplify/ (commercial) see this panel for colorizing comic art: http://vimeo.com/user3771002/videos
I would rather use posterize, as an adjustment layer, as you can control it.
Try with this layer stack, from bottom to top:
Convert the original image in a Smart Object, in order to use Smart filters and blur the image (Gaussian Blur, or noise>median or blur>smart blur or blur>surface blur could be interesting internatives) would be useful, to make smoother posterized areas.
A dodge/burn layers (a neutral gray layer in overlay mode) to adjust areas using the Dodge/burn tools.
the Posterize Adjustment layer, with very few colors
On top of it, put a gradient map adjustment layer, to control the posterized colors
Vectorizing in Illustrator can also be used to reduce the number of colors. Live Trace: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/illustrator/cs/using/WS714a382cdf7d304e7e07d0100196cbc5f-6229a .html
