Cache-Storage issues Lion 10.7.2 on a McBkPro 2.2ghz IC2D?

Hi,
Back when I purchased my MacBook Pro 2.2 Ghz IntelCore 2 Duo (at that point the best laptop on the market) I was having trouble because the hard drive was filling up on me.  Noob that I was, I was scolded by the "friendly" phone genius that I was not emptying my cache regularly and I was not using Disk uitlity every freakin' day.   I was ok with the scolding because I was clearly a stupid consumer, as I am now.  I religiously dragged the cache to the trash, and ran disk utility.  Smooth sailing until OS X Lion. OSX Lion hid the cache from me, but a call to Apple  made it possible for me to find it and continue my weekly maintenance.
But now I am "an out of work and out of warantee" stupid consumer of Apple products. Please help me to understand what I am supposed to do now to keep my cache from filling up like crazy when Apple will  not only hide it from me in 10.7.2, but now it has locked it.  OK clearly it is needed by Lion to deal with icloud stuff.  But I edit a lot of video and even with an external Hard drive, I still need some on-board storage.  How do I keep this thing from filling up like crazy? If it's not necessary to dump it, are there other maintenance procedures that I should be doing but because I am a stupid consumer I would not know about them?  Asking humbly for help.  Yes I am a stupid noob flame away, but help me please.

The USB drive's going off line most likely has nothing to do with the printer. I have both a Fire Wire and USB drive on my 2010 27 inch iMac. The FW drive has no problems... the USB drive however, randomly goes off line.... even when it is in use.
I have no doubt that Apple has an issue with either the 27 inch iMac's USB design or Lion's implementation of USB.
My 24 inch iMac (iMac6,1) (which I stll have, and which cannot run Lion) allows my Kensington Trackball to "wake" it up, but the 27 inch (iMac11,3) won't see the track ball until I login.

  • How to clear calendar cache on Mountain Lion

    At least, I think that's the problem.
    I have multiple Apple devices (iPhone 4s, iPhone 5, Macbook Pro running 10.8.3, and Macbook Air running 10.7.x (it's not in front of me at the moment)), and we're talking about an Exchange calendar.
    I deleted all future occurances of a recurring appointment on the Air. It removed from the calendar on the Air, and synched to all of the iPhones. However, it did not get removed from the Pro running Mountain Lion. If I then try and delete the appointment from the offending machine where it still exists, it gives the spinning pinwheel for about 20 minutes, but ultimately removes it ... until I quit Calendar, and open it back up, at which point the meeting has returned (even though it's still not on any of the other devices, and if I log in via Outlook on the web, appears not to be on the Exchange server either).
    The above sounds like a cacheing issue to me, so I tried the following:
    Deleted the Exchange account from Mail, Calendar, and AddressBook.
    Removed the following files and folders:
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.CalendarAgent
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.iCal
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.CalendarAgent.plist
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iCal.plist
    ~/Library/Preferences/widget-com.apple.widget.calendar.plist
    Then I rebooted, opened Mail, and added the Exchange account (including address book and calendar) ... and the deleted appointment immediately returns! (certainly much faster than it could be syncing with an Exchange server, so it must be getting it somewhere local).
    The only sign of anything going amok is in the Console log:
    CalendarAgent: Unexpected EOF, returning last token as fallback
    Does anyone have any suggestions on either how to really clear the Calendar cache on Mountain Lion; or other guesses as to what the problem might be?
    Thanks!

    You must be right:
    CorelDraw was originally developed for Microsoft Windows 3 and currently runs on Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7.[26] The current version, X6, was released on 20 March 2012.
    Versions for Mac OS and Mac OS X were at one time available, but due to poor sales these were discontinued. The last port for Linux was version 9 (released in 2000, it did not run natively; instead, it used a modified version of Wine to run) and the last version for OS X was version 11 (released in 2001).

  • Oracle 10g RAC using ASM - Storage Issue

    I’ve an issue related to Oracle 10g RAC.
    I’ve 2 node cluster each being Dell 2850 Server with RHEL 4.0
    I’ve EMC CX300 SAN storage with following partitions
    /orasoft     10 Gb          OCFS2 File system
    /oracrs          2 Gb          OCFS2 File system
    /orabackup      100 Gb          OCFS2 File system
    The datafiles are on ASM which is not directly visible in OS.
    I’ve common Oracle Home installed in /orasoft/db_1 which is shared by both nodes in cluster.
    I’ve faced an issue recently related to EMC storage.
    The /orasoft partition displays 1.4 Gb space available using df command.
    With both nodes sharing the common Oracle Home (/orasoft/db_1), when ever I try to touch a file I get an error as No Space left on device. I’m unable to start any service with the same reason.
    Is this setup correct ??
    Can anyone help me with this storage issue ??

    Need a clarification here...what do you mean by "Storage System"...do you mean a server/node or the SAN storage system. If you are referring to a server/node's local storage, then it would NOT be possible for use by RAC, since the disk space has to be shared among the nodes.
    Here is what you can do:
    - Create two partitions/devices (for example Disk_1 and Disk_2) in the SAN storage
    - Create a ASM disk group which would mirror Disk_1 to Disk_2.
    Again, please note that the partitions have to be visible and be accessible read/write from both the nodes/servers.

    Hi,
    If you create a new diskgroup you may be to add the same diskgroup to parameter file or spfile and which will be needing down time.
    sugestion: Instead of creating new diskgroup you should to add disk to existing group.if you add asm disk to existing group your all problem will be solved and Oracle itself will be managing all.And than i am sure no need to add entry in the parameter or spfile like +db_create_file_dest=.....

  • ICloud storage issue; Restoring iPhone calendar from iMac after accidental iCloud deletion

    I set up iCloud to back up calendars and contacts and for find my phone.  Initially, it seemed to work alright.  Then I got messages on iPhone that there wasn't enough iCloud storage, even though the storage tab showed that I had used none of my iCloud storage at all.  So I turned off iCloud/contacts.   In iTunes I switched back from iCloud backup to backup from my iMac. 
    Later I got the same message about not enough room in iCloud even though only calendars involved.  So I truned off iCloud/calendar on my iPhone and was given the choice of keeping the calendars from the iCloud or deleting them (a foolish choice without a failsafe!!!).  I clumsily and mistakenly hit delete.  My calendars have most recently been synced with my new iMac and appear on the iMac and should also be in TM.  But right now there is no data in my iPhone calendar.
    When i go to calendars within the iiphone calendar there is a check next to Calender under "from MY Mac" and no reference to iCloud.  (There are no separate calendars for me, my wife, and joint.  Does this mean somehow these calendars have been merged because of iCloud?)
    I don't want to do another sync until I can make sure that the sync with the iMac will resotre the calendar(s) to the iPnone.  How do I do this?
    Do I have to do anything on the iMac before I try a sync?
    How do I avoid these problems in the future?  The only thing I really would like from iCloud is "find my phone".  How do I keep that capability without backing up or su=yncing otherwise anything through iCloud? 
    Is iCloud still Beta?

    Apple walked me through this and helped me revert to backing up on my iMac, using iCloud only for find my iPhone and iMac.  The process, however, is not straightforward and what the respective mac and iPhone support people (yes, they have that kind of specialization) led me through was clearer, if somewhat convoluted, than any instructions on Apple's support or community pages.
    Since my main concern was not losing my calendar and contacts information, the key was saving that, via export, to my desktop.  Sorry I didn't write down all the other steps - but I see that as Apple's job.  Back in the days of the IIC, Apple's manual was a model of clarity and completeness at the same time.
    Bottom line is while my immediate concerns were resolved, the underlying iCloud storage issue was not.  On my iPhone, I was being told that my attempts to backup to the iCloud failed because I didn't have enough storage, even though I determined almost none of my alloted space was used.  This issue is not helped by the multiplicity of settings relating to iCloud, or the interfaces (such as the iCloud on the iMac through Mavericks) which present a screen of icons without additional information.
    For my purposes, iCloud remains Beta.

    Hi Everyone,
    I am implementing simple File to JDBC scenario. The sender file adpater is working fine, but the receiver JDBC adapter seems to be causing a bit of problems.
    I am using MS Access as the data base. Database XI.mdb is in D:/JDBC/XI.mdb
    The parameters in JDBC adapter that i have filled are:
    Connection String: jdbc:odbc:Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=//132.186.85.184/D:/JDBC/XI.mdb;

    Persistence: local
    Conflict Resolution: redo
    Interprtation of empty string values: "
    These are the only fields filled up in the receiver JDBC adapter.
    Now the issue is although I am working in Namespace: http://Ashish_File_To_JDBC
    The output in the JDBC receiver communication channel contains the namespace which i was earlier using and not the one it should be:

  • Distributed Cache : Performance issue; takes long to get data

    Hi there,
         I have set up a cluster on one a Linux machine with 11 nodes (Min & Max Heap Memory = 1GB). The nodes are connected through a multicast address / port number. I have configured Distributed Cache service running on all the nodes and 2 nodes with ExtendTCPService. I loaded a dataset of size 13 millions into the cache (approximately 5GB), where the key is String and value is Integer.
         I run a java process from another Linux machine on the same network, that makes use of the this cache. The process fetches around 200,000 items from the cache and it takes around 180 seconds ONLY to fetch the data from the cache.
         I had a look at the Performance Tuning > Coherence Network Tuning and checked the Publisher and Receiver Success rate and both were neardly 0.998 on all the nodes.
         It a bit hard to believe that it takes so long. May be I'm missing something. Would appreciate if you could advice me on the same?
         More info :
              a) All nodes are running on Java 5 update 7
              b) The java process is running on JDK1.4 Update 8
              c) -server option is enabled on all the nodes and the java process
              d) I'm using Tangosol Coherence 3.2.2b371

    Hi Amit,
         Is the java test process single threaded, i.e. you performed 200,000 consecutive cache.get() operations? If so then this would go a long ways towards explaining the results, as most of the time in all processes would be spent waiting on the network, and your results would come out to just over 1ms per operation. Please be sure to run with multiple test threads, and also it would be good to make use of the cache.getAll() call where possible to have a single thread fetching multiple items in parallel.
         Also you may need to do a some tuning on your cache server side. In general I would say that on a 1GB heap you should only utilize roughly 750 MB of that space for cache storage. Taking backups into consideration this means 375MB of data per JVM. So with 11 nodes, this would mean a cache capacity of 4GB. At 5GB of data each cache server will be running quite low on free memory, resulting in frequent GCs which will hurt performance. Based on my calculations you should use 14 cache servers to hold your 5GB of data. Be sure to run with -verbose:gc to monitor your GC activity.
         You must also watch your machine to make sure that your cache servers aren't getting swapped out. This means that your server machine needs to have enough RAM to keep all the cache servers in memory. Using "top" you will see that a 1GB JVM actually takes about 1.2 GB of RAM. Thus for 14 JVMs you would need ~17GB of RAM. Obviously you need to leave some RAM for the OS, and other standard processes as well, so I would say this box would need around 18GB RAM. You can use "top" and "vmstat" to verify that you are not making active use of swap space. Obviously the easiest thing to do if you don't have enough RAM, would be to split your cache servers out onto two machines.
         See http://wiki.tangosol.com/display/COH32UG/Evaluating+Performance+and+Scalability for more information on things to consider when performance testing Coherence.
         thanks,
         Mark

  • Ios 8.2 storage issue

    I have an iPhone 5s 16GB. Ever since I updated to ios 8.2, I have had random storage issues. One day after updating I received a message "storage almost full".  30 seconds later another message that my storage was full. Shut off my phone and did a hard reset. No change. Started to delete pictures, videos and apps. Available storage began to increase. After all of this it reported I had 1G available. Phone was good for about 6 hours. Noticed storage was decreasing by the hour and was down to 324 Mb. Deleted almost all my apps. Storage showed 1.3 Gb. Thought problem was solved. Noticed last night storage was 2.0 GB. Thought this was weird. This morning back to square one 0 bytes available. Apple needs to get it together with this update!!  I've read several other post on this forum with exactly the same issue. Deleted a few more apps this morning. 116mb free at this time, but I don't expect it to last.
    Wanted to start a new thread with this problem.

    You don't have enough physical storage space on the device for the update to take place. The process can use ~6 -~7 GB of storage space. You can possibly free up the required space by deleting apps and other data. The easiest way to do the update with all of the deleting required is to update the device using iTunes & your syncing PC. No additional storage space is required on the device when updating through iTunes.
    Beforehand though, you should delete the update residing on your device under Settings/Usage, then under the Starge heading: Manage Storage. A list of installed apps will be displayed here. You can delete the update by finding it in the list (it should be near the top since they are sorted by size, largest first), tapping it, then tapping the red Delete App button.
    EDIT: BTW, after an update, there's no way to revert back to the previous version. If you don't have the required space on the device for the process, the update will simply not install.

  • Slow/choppy playback - cache buffering issue

    On playback, PP6 randomly slows down and plays back choppy on visually complex shots.  It takes repeated stops and starts to clear it out.  I have troubleshot the life out of this, read every relevant thread, and tried everything imaginable to fix it.  Windows 7 pro is fully optimized.  There are no software conflicts (installed a drive with only windows and CS6)  I’ve got plenty of horsepower - 3930K in an asusp9x79pro, gtx 670 w/4mb, 32mb ram, OC to 4.5.  Eric Bowen at ADK has personally tuned the system and done a manual overclock. Memtest confirms the ram is fine. There are no hardware issues. Dropped frame indicator stays green, no dropped frames.  Switching from hardware to software mercury playback does nothing.  Rendering has no effect, nor do any playback settings. It happens with AVCHD and h.264 mp4’s as well, on short clips, not just long ones. It does not happen outside of ppro. Since I have eliminated hardware and software issues, all this leaves is Premiere.
    As Eric explains it, it is a cache buffering issue, related to how the nvidia card and ppro interact, and he sees it frequently enough.  I can't do his explanation justice, but he has offered to jump in and provide more detail if need be.
    Whatever it is, it’s ridiculous.   It is totally unacceptable to play down a sequence and have it intermittently slow down  on a system with this much power that has been properly set up by a pro.  It’s a shame, because it’s the only thing from keeping ppro/cs6 from being the best platform I’ve edited on in my 12 years as an editor.
    I’ve filed a bug report, but gotten no response.  If others are seeing it, and can file a bug report, maybe it will be publicly acknowledged and resolved.

    Hi,
    I  think I have similair problem. First of all my current specs is:
    Asus Sabertooth z77 mainboard with intel i7 2700K processor
    32 gb (8*4) ram
    120 gb ssd sata3 drive for OS and CS6
    500 gb sata3 7200rpm hd for cache files
    1 tb sata3 7200rpm hd for source video and audio
    and finally Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 Ti with 2gb of memory
    Blackmagic shuttle io card etc
    This system were combined specially for my endless highend compositing needs and it works like a charm with all applications other than Premiere Pro.
    Yesterday I barley finished editing a short (approx 2 minutes) 1080p project that shot with Canon 5D MKII. Without using mercury playback engine application
    works fine but once I activate it all playback became really slow and laggy and sometime it freeze if I move playhead quickly.
    I only use one video and one audio track in timeline so we can say this editing scenario is a fundamental for production grade NLE application.
    My graphic processor has a lot of cuda power but Adobe doesn't support it natively so I have to edit  the famous text file.
    On CS5 and CS5.5 I done lots of 1080p project with my old gtx 480 card and I never encountered any similair problem.
    I hope my favorite and trusted software company Adobe will find the problem and will fix it soon...
    Thanks
