Storage Issue: 206gb of movies?

Hi Everyone,
My MBP has a 500gb hard drive.  The storage meter says 206gb is taken up by movies, but I do not have any movies on this machine...Or at least I don't think I do.  Is there any way to find these "movies" or is this some other weird problem?  Has anyone else had this issue?  Thank you for any help you can give me!
Best,
Adam

Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
  1. See Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks' Storage Display.
  2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
  3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
  4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
  5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
  6. See The Storage Display.
You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located.

  • Apps to USB Storage issue on A2107A-f

    Running in to an issue trying to move apps to USB storage.  When I move the app to USB storage, the icon disappears from the display screen. The app is still on the device and can be found if I look under the App folder, but no longer shows up on the customizable screens.  On the other hand, any apps that remain under Tablet storage still show up on the customizable screens. This wouldn't be such a problem for me if it wasn't for the fact that of the 8GB storage on this device, 2.29GB is allocated for internal or Tablet storage.  So, it doesn't take long to fill up that space with apps.
    Would appreciate any help.  I did try calling Lenovo tech support and that was fruitless.

    I have the exact problem. There is no solution according to my tech.

  • 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.

  • I have an IPad and want to download a movie.  I keep getting the message "There is not enough available storage to download your movie.  You can manage your storage in Settings".  I look in the settings and it says I have 5GB available?

    I have been trying to download a movie to my IPad.  I have never had trouble before but the last two times I get an error message that says "Cannot Download" There is not enough storage to download your movie.  You can manage your storage in Settings.
    When I go to my settings it says I have 5GB remaining storage and 5GB storage used.  I have deleted a lot of my music and games but am still having trouble.  Has anyone experienced this before?

    5GB is typically not enough space to download a movie.  Often, movies take from 3 - 5 GB to begin with.  The only option you have is to delete more things from your iPad.  You can remove unused Apps, pictures, music, text message (messages with pictures can take up a lot of space), email messages, books, magazines etc.

  • Has anyone received an update on apple tv issue with HD movies and what they are doing about it

    Has anyone received an update on apple tv issue with HD movies and what they are doing about it

    Whatever the rep told you, it is complete nonsense. There is clearly a problem at your end, the Apple TV 3 is capable of more than the Apple TV 2, and you clearly have the Apple TV 2 working perfectly. Since the Apple TV 2 is able to download from the Internet properly, then my suspicion would be your problem lies on your local network. Interference is a common problem on local networks.
    Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

  • Audio issues when adding movies to Premiere Elements 11

    When I try to add movies to PE11 the audio gets all screwed up. I am very new to video editing and I haven't had this issue with other movies, only those froma  specific camera. The only thing I can see is that the audio from the camera that works is mono, and the audio from the camera that doesn't work is stereo. Any suggestions on how I can fix this issue?

    b.raines
    In addition to Hunt's questions, I would ask:
    1. What are the brand, model, and settings for your camera? What are the properties of the video that it generates?
    2. Are you accepting the project preset automatically being given you after you drag your video to the Timeline (Expert view) or are you setting the project preset in the New Project dialog yourself. The project preset should match the properties of your source media. Sometimes the program's choice is not appropriate. Please check under Edit Menu/Project Settings to see what the program is setting and compare that with what you know are the properties of the source media.
    For Properties Readout, please consider the free MediaInfo
    http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/en
    3. Is the audio messing up the only problem that you are having? If so, where is it manifesting itself
    a. when you playback the rendered Timeline in the Edit Mode Monitor
    or
    b. when you playback the exported Timeline on one of your players
    or
    c. other
    How is it messing up...distorted sound or audio out of sync?
    Getting more information on the above will help us to work together to resolve your issue.
    Thanks.

  • 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.

  • Issues with exporting movie - insufficient storage space

    Hello,
    Last night I tried to export a 50 minute movie that I created - I checked my hard disk space and I had 4.3Gb available at the time. I didnt think I would have enough space to export in 720p resolution but tried anyway. Imovie started to create the movie but stopped ~60% through stating that it had insufficient storage space to complete the export. But now, instead of having 4.3Gb available I only have 335 Mb available as I believe Imovie did not delete the unfinished file when it cancelled the export (its storage usage went from 500 mb to 4.3gb after the failed export). The issue is, I now have to way of accessing the unfinished file to delete it and do not have enough storage space to export at a lower resolution! Has anyone else run into this issue?
    Is there anyway to access the files embedded in iMovie?
    If not if I delete iMovie do my saved projects remain?
    Otherwise is there anyway to export my movie onto my computer directly?
    I unfortunately did not back up the iPad prior to the export so I cant restore it from a previous point.
    Really appreciate your help!

    Sadly you are rather stuck at this point.
    This appears to be an error in movie that does not clear the space if it is unable to finish creating a movie.
    Your 50 minute video would be about 4 gb by my estimates.
    imovie would first create this video within the app (apps are sandboxes and must create files within their own memory area).
    Once the video is made, iMovie can copy this video to the camera roll.
    The way iOS works is to avoid mixing data, thus it is a copy process.
    Which means you would have to have 8 gb of space to create your video.
    I am going to guess that iMovie correctly made the video, but now has no where to copy it.
    And rather annoyingly it holds on to the video for now.
    You need another 4 gb space to compete the export.
    As you have not enough space left on the iPad you are in a bind and there are only a couple of options left for you.
    Firstly, if you delete iMovie iOS you will lose your projects.
    I do not advise deleting iMovie.
    You cannot export the project, and iMovie iOS projects contain the source video.
    So you would need about 4gb of space to export the project.
    Also do not delete the source videos, iMovie just links to the camera roll.
    So if you delete the video from the photos app then iMovie will lose the video too.
    There is no way that is Apple sanctioned to clear the space in iMovie.
    Apple has strict rules on what we can discuss in these forums, so I cannot help or advise how to clear iMovie of the half made video.
    My best advise would be to delete another app, or files from your iPad.
    I hope you have at some point backed up your iPad to your Mac, of iCloud?
    If not then do so now.
    Then I would suggest you delete large apps to clear space.
    These can be restored later.
    Look for games or apps that save their user data online.
    I have a few Gameloft games, and they store my game data on their servers.
    This way you can restore where you were later again.
    Or you could connect to iTunes, and delete all the music off the iPad.
    THen finish exporting the video, and restore the music later.
    Have a look here to see how to use iOS to check what other apps are using space:
    http://ipadinsight.com/ipad-tips-tricks/how-to-see-how-much-space-is-being-used- by-each-of-your-apps-in-ios-5/
