Problem locating files which are using storage?

Afternoon, I'm trying to clear my Macbook air's storage. (I have emptied my recycled bin)
I can't find the files which my mac attributes these figures to. For example i've completely moved all my moves from my mac to my server, deleted all movies out of itunes and removed any MP4 files from Iphoto... I'm at a loss to how i've still go 9.36gb on my mac?
Same again with 'other' storage. I've deleted all large files apart for one coming to 20gb so I should have no more that 30gb, where is my mac finding 76.91gb?
In regards to my photo's, I can't seem to move them all onto my Icloud photo stream. I've paid for extra storage, I've set it up so that all new pictures go onto it but I can't seem to get my whole library on it. I've tried highlighting the images and dragging them across but this doesn't seem to work.
Any ideas on these problems would be very helpful.
Thanks James

2.Try OmniDiskSweeper. This will give the storage size details of the items.

  • Indexing and Searching pdf files which are used as attachment in an Announcemnet list item

    Hi all,
    I am using a SharePoint 2013 online environment and trying to search and find pdf files which are attached to a announcement list item. However it does not find anything when I search for the name of the pdf file or the content of the pdf file.
    When I attach a word to the list item it gets indexed and it find the file.
    thanks and appreciate every kind of advice.

    Are you able to search for pdfs in other locations? SharePoint 2013 comes with an iFilter out of the box unlike 2010 which needed configuration.

  • Australian.  How do locate apps which are suitable for Australian use,

    How do I locate applications which are relevant for Australian use, for example a shopping application; a travel application;
    Do I have to do a search in itunes for the category I want, and then go and read about that application (if a website is offered).
    Are the only forums for specific applications, attached to each individual application? That is, there is no one forum which deals with queries/features of applications in itunes?

    Apps aren't an iTunes issue, per se, since iTunes only downloads and transfers them. Try:
    Installing and using iPhone applications
    Installing and Using iPod touch Applications

  • The Refiner Result type: When refine by result type: PDF or Zip sometimes files which are images are shown (not pdf or zip)

    Hi,
    We use Search Refiners and there is a strange problem: when we refine by the Refiner Result type: Zip and PDF we also get files which are gif files.
    keren tsur

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you get the gif files sometimes when you refiner the Result Type PDF or ZIP.
    I try to do this test in my environment, however, the result is I get the corresponding PDF file and don’t get the gif files by Refiner the PDF Result Type in Search Center.
    Do you get all gif files by the Refiner Result Type: PDF or ZIP in Search Center?
    And, do you see these gif files under the Refiner Result Type: Image?
    I recommend that you can try to respectively type the “PDF”, “ZIP” and “gif” in search box to compare the search results.
    Also, you can try to go to SharePoint 2013 Central Administration, click “Search Service Application” in “Manage service application”, click the “Index Reset” to reset all crawled content, then start Full Crawl again.
    Best Regards,

  • I'm trying to open files which are telling me to instal Adobe Reader.  Which I did but the agreement which needs to be ticked off so this reader can open doesn't come up.  Please could you be of some assistance.

    I'm trying to open files which are telling me to instal Adobe Reader.  Which I did but the agreement which needs to be ticked off so this reader can open doesn't come up.  Please could you be of some assistance.

    Select one of the files, Choose GetInfo from the Finder's File menu, look for the field named "Open With", and choose Preview from the adjacent menu. Accept that ALL such files will Open with Preview, and your major problems should be solved.
    Occasionally, a particularly complex .pdf file or one that needs to be modified and re-written will not work quite right with Preview, but such issues are rare.

  • I have a new Apple TV which is working fine except that I cannot access .mov files which are in my iTunes Library. How can I get to these? I can run them on my computer and select Apple TV on the screen, but the Apple TV goes to a black screen

    Mov is a container format, you'd need to look at the codec used by the movie file inside the container to know whether it will work with the Apple TV or not.

    I have a lot of grief with this version of Windows Media Player.
    It is very buggy and frustrating to use.
    I have my Music library on a QNAP NAS, which is as reliable as they come.
    System notifications make it not save changes.  It also does not do a good job of interpreting albums and artists from folders.  Changes to track names are not saved, nor are tracks moved to other albums, renamed albums, changes to genre, artist
    or date.  It separates and merges albums/tracks without sense or reason.  Some changes I've made up to 4 times, then closed WMP and re-started my machine to check if it has/hasn't saved the changes.  Often it has not.
    This is the first time I've used WMP in this capacity, and I do not recommend it.
    New service pack please.

  • Deleting files which are offline.

    What is the best way to get Lightroom to delete files which are offline? I don't use lightroom as a database or DAM - for that i use iMatch. I use lightroom only to process the raws and hate to see the thumb files with a question mark on them when they are really not available locally.
    Sometimes i wish lightroom behaves like the photoshop bridge program in that it will display only files that are available but i understand that lightroom does what it does because it also acts as a DAM program - that's why it still keeps the thumb files even though they don't really exist locally. But i don't want to see them if they are not available - is this possible and what's the best way to batch delete all question-marked files? Thank-you. 

    Of course doing as John suggests mean all edits, history, snapshots, collection information, virtual copies are gone, gone, gone.
    As you've said yourself, Lightroom is a database, not an browser and having access to offline files is a reason why people use Lightroom. Missing file handling could be better, but if you want to files on a missing volume, click on the Volume browser to close the folder view. Of course you'll still see the missing files in collection.

  • How can I send scanned files, which are documents changed from doc to PDF, as documents that can be edited if the recipient doesn't have Adobe capabilities?

    How can I send scanned files, which are documents changed from doc to PDF, as documents that can be edited if the recipient doesn't have Adobe capabilities?

    Hi flaviusjack,
    If you still have the .doc files, it might be best to send those to your recipients so they can be edited. Otherwise, you can use ExportPDF to convert the PDF files back to .doc format. But, again, that step would be unnecessary if you have the .doc files.
    Best,

  • Can i get the time capsule to automatically back up my file from my Mac Book Air but have certain files which are only stored on the time capsule and not the computer? Then can i access these files only on the time capsule without connecting it?

    You can, but how are you going to back up those other files?  When (not if) your Time Capsule fails, you risk losing them.  See #Q3 in Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule for details.
    Then can i access these files only on the time capsule without connecting it?
    Not sure what you mean.  You have to connect a computer, either via Ethernet cable or wirelessly, to read or write to the disk. 

  • I am not able to Sync. My iPOD classic 80Gb. It tells that as iTunes can not read the contents-restore to factory settings- after restoring – it tells that it can not be restore bcause there are files that are used by other application. I am having Widows

    I am not able to Sync. My iPOD classic 80Gb. It tells that as iTunes can not read the contents-restore to factory settings- after restoring – it tells that it can not be restored bcause there are files that are used by other application. My iPOD appears in My Computer in drive H as a mass storage generick volume

    Try disabilng the Enable Disk Use option from under the iPod's Summary tab, applying the changes, and seeing if that helps.
    Otherwise, temporarily disabling any antivirus, security, firewall, or file indexing software that may be running on your system and then try restoring your iPod again.

    Just as of late I noticed that Apple Stores are selling security cameras that work with their app on an iPhone. Very expensive but it uses both WiFi when local and cellular when not at home.
    In your case I would check the apple store and see if there is a free or paid app to access your home closed circuit TV system. The cameras have to have their own ip address so you then need only enter that and access will be available to you. But they must be on your home network.
    a lot of the higher end CCTV systems have a free app that can be used like the new Apple Security system.
    Just Google it or check the store.
    Good Luck

  • Find out the SQLs which are using a full table scan

    Hello all , how can i to find out the queries which are using a full table scan ? Any idea ?

    In general, though, why would you want to tune SQL statements that aren't causing problems? Statspack will tell you what the most resource-intensive SQL statements on your system are. A SQL*Net trace of sessions that are performing poorly will indicate which statements are the most resource-intensive for that session. If a statement is incorrectly doing a full-table scan, but it is not causing a problem, why spend time tuning it? If you're not focusing your tuning attention on identifying statements that are causing problems, you'll also miss out on 90% of tuning opportunities which involve rewriting (or eliminating) code to make it more efficient. I can simulate a join on two tables with nested cursor loops, which won't generate a single full table scan, but replacing that code with a real join, while it will cause at least one full table scan, will be orders of magnitude faster.
    As an aside, full table scans aren't necessarily a bad thing. If a statement needs to retrieve more than a couple percent of the rows of a table, full table scans are the most efficient way to go.

  • I am testing a Sony a7r, shooting RAW.  I can't seem to import the files (which are .awr) into my Lightroom 4. Anybody know what options I have?  Thanks!

    I am testing a Sony a7r, shooting RAW.  I can't seem to import the files (which are .awr) into my Lightroom 4. Anybody know what options I have?  Thanks!

    Support was added by Adobe for this camera model in LR 5.3 and ACR 8.3. see the link below.
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    You can download the latest trial version of LR 5 the current version is 5.7.1 and use tor 30 days.
    The other option is to download the latest Adobe DNG Converter (version 8.7.1) for free and convert the Sony .arw files to dng format and they will work fine with LR 4.
    Make sure you retain the original copies of the .arw files.
