GB storing deleted data, files are too big!

Hi All
I recorded a full concert, 2-3 hours, 8 audio tracks. This came out to about 4GB. Now I want to edit down each song individually, so I cut everything out but the song, and "Save As..." its own file. After cutting down to one song, the file is still 4GB! It seems that GB still stores all of the deleted data. I want to do this for 20-30 songs, and I don't want each file to be 4GB large. Is there anyway to trim the data that it is retaining?
Thanks

It's kind of a tedious workaround, especially if I have to go through that for 8 tracks x 30 songs.
while i agree it would be a nice feature, you have to remember, you're re-purposing GB, your use is not the one for which it was designed; one song per project.
you can always send Apple a feature request with the Feedback menuItem (under the GaageBand menu) to let them know

  • Score printout: files are too big for printout since Pro 7

    Hi there,
    I have a serious problem printing scores with Pro7: the files appear to be too big, so I can't print them. When I try to print a simple 1 page part, I get the error: "printer out of memory" and I have a HP Laserjet with 8 Mb memory. A PDF from a 3 page part made in Logic 6.3 is 102Kb, a PDF from the same 3 page part opened in Pro7 is 2,4Mb! Everything seems normal: page setup 100% etc.
    When I open a song made in Pro7 with Logic 6.3, the files are much much smaller. Does anybody know what's wrong, now I can't print scores with Pro7!
    Thanx, Peter

    Hello Rohan,
    Thanks for your effort. I created a PDF-file with a totally different printerdriver. The result is the same: I get a very large file. A 3 page part PDF-file is 2,4 Mb, also with the other fake driver. I'm used to send PDF-files of sheet music through the internet and files this big are no option.
    And very annoying: I can't print out scores using Pro7!
    Best regards,

  • Files are too big to download...what do i do?

    ok. i have been working on a french project constantly for about 3 days now.
    we have to create a cooking show and edit a video to show to the class. my group decided to be all fancy and use a nice canon digital camera (not sure what kind, it's not mine)...i uploaded the videos to my macbook and all was going well until i realized about half of the files are missing.  i now have all the video files i need on a flash drive and from there, i can view them via quicktime player, but that's all. it's strange because the sizes range from about 5 MB to 500 MB, and they're all pretty much the same length. can anyone explain this? 
    I have tried dragging these large files to iphoto and it cannot read it. when i drag it to my desktop, i get this message "the file '--' cannot be copied because there is not enough free space".  When I drag it into a new even in iMovie 08, i get "Move Failed: error code 1429").  It is quite frustrating, because I can view the exact files i need, but I can't do anything with them. 
    After getting the message that there is not enough free space, I thought backing up my computer would help.  I went to Best Buy and asked a guy there on the "Geek Squad" to help but he was a PC specialists and the mac specialists were not in that day.... so we just bought a 500 GB hard drive. I spent the night backing up my computer with Time Machine, which I think worked.  Then, I went through and deleted unnecessary videos and pictures.  Then I tried, once again, to drag the file to my desktop. I got the same message. It is THE most frustrating thing, and I have no idea what to do anymore.  I have half of my cooking show videos and it won't work without the others. HELP.

    Are you using Filvault perchance?
    What format are all these other drives using?
    errFSNotEnoughSpaceForOperation = -1429, /* There is not enough disk space to perform the requested operation */

  • Importing files are too big

    Whenever I try to import my cds onto iTunes, in the bottom bar it says that the file will be about 500 MB. I know this isn't right because whenever I import on a PC or another MAC, it shows up at about 30 MB. My iTunes preferences are set on AAC, which I hear is suggested. I don't know what else to do...

    It does make sense. You are probably importing your tunes in Apple Lossless or AIFF. You need to check your import settings.
    1. Open iTunes Prefs > Advanced > Importing.
    2. Make sure the "Import Using" is set to either AAC or MP3, whichever you prefer.
    3. Click OK.
    Now you probably need to make sure your existing files are transcoded.
    1. Pull down Edit > View Options and click the Kind check box.
    2. Sort your Library by the Kind column by clicking on it.
    3. Highlight all the files that are not AAC or MP3.
    4. Control+click the files and choose "convert selection to XXX."
    Once that is done you can then delete the Lossless/AIFF files.

  • DNG files are too big

    I tried converting canon raw file to DNG but the dng files are 2 times at big as the canon raw files. What's up with that?

    You can get it here. The latst converter is DNG 8.6. I use it all the time. Great for batch conversion and file re-naming before import to LR.
    Windows download (.exe file) click here DNG Converter 8.6
    Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.6
    You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

  • Exported files are too big

    i and a friend of mine archive files - scans - that are in the size of 200gb and above.
    If we try to export them as version, wie both got an error message.
    does anyone has the same problem with bigger images ?

    I gather you are using Pages 5?
    Just bad conversion.
    Use TextEdit or LibreOffice [free] to resave them and they should shrink down to normal size.
    Why are you using Pages in the first place? There are plenty of alternatives for what you are doing.
    I would check exactly what you have in your document however.
    I did a test export of the Bold Type Letter template [unchanged]:
    .pages = 238 Kb
    .pages (09 export) = 191 Kb
    .pages (09) = 101 Kb
    .pages (09 .doc export) = 24 Kb
    .txt = 2 Kb
    .docx = 10 Kb
    .docx resaved from Word = 21Kb

  • Saving raw images to a CD/files are too big!

    I was the second shooter at a wedding, and the primary photographer asked me to send my raw images straight to her for processing. Music to my ears as less work for me!
    However, when I went to burn my 1800 plus images to a CD, I realized the files would fill over 20 CD's. Seems a little kooky.
    Beyond using an FTP site to send them (which I suspect would have similar size issues) is there a way to 'zip' or 'compress' these files to a CD, and still have the images arrive as full size, raw images?

    A service like www.rapidshare.com will let you upload files that are up to 200MB in size without paying or registering, so if you can ZIP or Stuff the RAWs into archives a little less than 200MB in size then you could upload these via the Rapidshare website and the primary photographer should be able to download them.  A program like WinRAR will split up a large archive into whatever size chunks you want.  The drawback to doing this, of course, is that there are likely to be 60-80 200MB ZIPs involved so it could be tedious for you to upload and her to download them, one by one.
    Otherwise, along the same lines are her initial request, if it's an option, a dual-layer DVD burners are available and will store about 9 GB per disc.  I recently picked up a USB external DL burner for less than $90.  You would need to check with her if she can read DVDs, of course.
    Or 16GB SDHC cards are pretty cheap, at least online, and you could put them all on one of those and mail it.

  • If data files are deleted?

    If data files are deleted, can they be recovered from the control file?

    It depends on what is in the datafiles in the tablespaces, if they actually contain data, if they are the only datafiles for the tablespace, etc.
    Let's assume that they are the only datafiles for the tablespace and segments have allocated and used space in them.
    If the segments are index segments, you can recreate the indexes from the data that currently exists in the table.
    If the segments are table segments, you will need to recreate the data either by hand or extracting it from another source.
    If no segment has allocated space in the datafile, you should be able to offline the datafile. If this works, it is a good idea to migrate the segments to a new tablespace and then drop the tablespace (unless it is SYSTEM) as Oracle does not like offline datafiles and it will become a maintenance hassle.
    If you do not have a backup, do you have a recent export?
    Once you have addressed the immediate issues of reconstructing the data, you need to address the issues of backups (you should at least backup the database periodically even if you don't run in archivelog mode) and security (no one should be dropping live data files).

  • Imported files (from vhs to digital camcorder) are too big to handle.

    When I import my vhs footage (through camcorder) to imovie... the files
    are so big they take most of my hard drive. For example the size is about
    2GB for a minute of footage. Any ideas why? Thanks!!
    G5   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    They are the same. A DV file is often referred to as a stream because it has a "stream" of continuous frames. 29.97/second to be exact. Some camcorders record to a hard drive or optical disc and these usually use MPEG compression methods which rob you of your "stream"; going from 29.97 frames per second to two. Which is also the source of mucho frustration in trying to edit these formats! Stream is also used because Firewire streams data to your computer: 1-2-3-4-5-6; while USB will break data into packets (1 & 4, 2 & 5, 3 & 6), sends the packets to a computer and the computer needs to reassemble the info to 1-2-3-4-5-6.

  • ODI-40406: Bytes are too big for array error

    There is a possibility of mismatch of datatype, that can cause the problem.
    Say in ODI model, you have defined a 'Date type' field to be stored as 'String' however at the time of mapping in 'Interface', no conversion happens (from date to string)  for this particular object. This causes the problem.
    The original query remains valid at DB side (fires for datetype) however fails while integrating (anticipating String which may be longer than defined in modelbecause of your NLS setting in DB). Therefore the best way would be to apply conversion for that particular field (in this case, use TO_CHAR(Date type,'Desired Date Format').

    I am trying to a file to file mapping and all of my columns match in size. Does anyone have any ideas what this problem could be? I am getting an error when it tries to perform an integration step while trying to create the target table. I am assuming it is something wrong with one of my datastores

  • How do you set the default magnification for Acrobat.  All documents that I open enlarge to 174% and are too big.

    How do you set the default magnification for Acrobat.  All documents that I open enlarge to 174% and are too big.  I see how to change the size after the document is open by going to File/properties/initial view and saving this setting.  I want all documents to open at 100% when they are first opened.  Can I set this as a default view?

    Hey Kris,
    You might go to Edit> Preferences> Zoom
    Do this without opening any particular PDF so that it applies to the program itself and not just one document.
    Try this and then let me know.

  • Illustrator files CC too big 25-30 min to save

    Illustrator files on CC are taking 25-30 min to save and when opening them takes the same amount of time. on Mac. Often when opening the file the rainbow wheel comes on. The files for some reason are about 2GB. How do I fix this as it is becoming a hassle having to waste my class time waiting for the file to open, and then having illustrator shut down and not respond because the file is too big

  • The offset in the file is too big"? Other than, hey it's FAT formatted, etcetera!

    Does anyone have an answer for "The offset in the file is too big" error while creating a file using QT API "writeToFile"?
    I mean something other it's FAT formatted, not enough space, et cetera. Anyone?

    First how much free space do you have on your boot drive.  For normal use it's recommended to have a minimum of 10 GB free space.  If you use iDVD up that to 20-25 GB.  Lots of cache and swap space is needed.
    Create the slideshow in iPhoto, set the disiplay size ratio to 4:3 and export it out of iPhoto at the medium or large size. 
    Open a new project in iDVD and add the QT file to the iDVD menu being careful to avoid any dropzones.
    With a 90 minute slideshow you can use a single layer DVD disk. iDVD doesn't care about the file size of the media added to a project, only the playing time of the project, including menus.
    Follow this workflow to help ensure the best quality final product:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the  File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option.  This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
    To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
    You shouldn't try to create the slideshow in iDVD with still photos if the number of still photos is larger than 99.  That creates a pause or stall when playing back on many set top players.
