Why is my Hard drive info not displaying the correct availability

I can open "About This MAC" and click on more info it lets me check my hard disk usage under storage. It shows I have 81 GB available of 499.76. However it shows 98 GB of Backups, what could that be?
Now when I actually right click on Macintosh HD it says I have 437.22 GB available of 499.25 GB. I just don't understand, and I don't believe either is right. If I right click my user file in MAcintosh HD it says I have 165 GB on disc. What gives?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
That's normal. OS X Lion and Mountain Lion, when you have turned on Time Machine, create "local snapshots" on the hard drive of portable Macs. See > http://pondini.org/TM/30.html
One of the "features" of local snapshots is that Disk Utility detects them as used space and Finder detects them as free space. That's the reason why you are seeing different free spaces depending on the application you use. There's nothing wrong in making local snapshots

  • Firefox is not displaying the correct font color on my blog, but other browsers are.

    I have a web designer issue. Firefox is not displaying the correct font color on the header in my blog. Explorer, Chrome, and Safari have no problems. The page is in css but this particular section has html code o designate color. The code is as follows:
    <font face="helvetica" color="FF9966" size="1">blog</font>
    Though all other browsers display the light orange color designated, Firefox displays white. Strangely, if if retype the code by spelling out a color, Firefox displays it correctly. i.e.
    <font face="helvetica" color="black" size="1">blog</font>
    ... will give me black. You can see the effect by viewing the link below and looking at the word "blog" in the header, which should be light orange but is not in Firefox.

    Actually it also seems to work in the current Firefox 4 beta as it is.
    The code is not right though - the correct syntax for the color attribute with hex values is with a # at the start, so:
    color="#FF9966"
    It might work in Firefox 3.x if you change that.

  • I have just updated to ISO 8 and my app icons are not displaying the correct icon but just a generic icon. Anyone had a similar problem?

    I have just updated to ISO 8 and my app icons are not displaying the correct icon but just a generic icon. Anyone had a similar problem?

    That happened to me for a short period of time after I updated. It didn't do it with all apps, but it did it with a few here and there. Try a few basic standard troubleshooting steps. Close all apps and reset the iPad.
    In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    You can also try resetting all settings. You will not lose any data, but most of the device settings will have to be entered in the settings app again. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Settings.
    Hopefully it will be something simple, but don't rule out restoring the iOS software, if nothing else works, but start with this easy stuff first.

  • Improperly ejected external hard drive is not displaying on computer...not even in Disk Utility

    My external hard drive has been repeatedly ejected improperly and now it is not displaying on my computer, not even in disk utility.  How do I re-mount this external hard drive?  In the past when this has happened, all I had to do was go to Disk Utility or use DiskWarrior to fix the issue but now it won't even show up in either of these apps.
    Any help would be appreciated
    2008 MacBook Pro 10.9.3, WD My Studio 1 TB External HD

    From the menu bar, select
     ▹ System Preferences ▹ Energy Saver ▹ Power Adapter  
    and uncheck the box labeled Put the hard disk(s) to sleep when possible, if it's checked.
    If the drive has more than one interface (USB, FireWire, Thunderbolt, eSATA), try one of the other interfaces.
    Check that the data cable is securely inserted at both ends.
    Try a different cable.
    If you're connecting the drive through a hub, connect it directly to a built-in port on the Mac.
    If you're connecting it directly, try a different port.
    Disconnect all other devices on the bus, or as many as possible.
    Test the drive with another Mac. Test another drive with this Mac.
    If the drive is bus-powered, but has an AC adapter, connect the adapter.
    Start up in Recovery mode and launch Disk Utility. Is the drive recognized?
    Start up in Safe Mode and test.
    Reset the NVRAM.
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    If the drive doesn't work under any of the above conditions, and if another drive does work with the same Mac, then the drive has failed. You may be able to salvage the mechanism by removing it from the enclosure and installing it in another one, or in a drive dock.

  • Hard drive "does not meet the requirements" for system updates

    Hi,
    I'm running 10.2 and I'm trying to update my computer to the more recent version, except that I've gone through the update downloads on this site and anything higher than 10.3 tell me I need to run 10.3 to run it. When I tried to upgrade to 10.3, I was told that I "cannot install this software on this disk. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update". What does that mean and how do I rectify the problem? Thank you very much in advance.
    - Jen

    Hi Kappy! I have a similar problem: I had a problem in the past and had to re-install the system. I now have a previous sytem folder on my mac which I do not dare touch. I used to have a later version than 10.3.3 (I cannot remember which). I am now trying to update with the 10.3.9 combo update (just bought a new ipod) and I get the famous "does not meet the requirements" message. I have repaired permissions and done Onyx maintenance - still nothing. I wonder whether somehow the installer detects that there is already some newer component installed and does not want to re-install. I am awfully frustrated... Thanks in advance for your help.

  • IxDimGet("per", "name") is not displaying the correct period

    Hi
    In XLReporter we have a YTD report were per = value selected at time of generating the report. The column is set as YTD(@per) and is retreiving the YTD data upto the correct period. However the column heading ixDimGet("per", "name") is displaying the 1st period of the YTD not the last period as selected in the parameters.
    eg. report is run to Oct 2007
          data is total to Oct 2007
          reporting heading displays Jul 2007
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks
    Jenny

    Hi Jenny,
    This can be a problem described in note number:876526.
    XLR uses the year number and period sub code of a financial period to generate its code. If certain period is created as a single period, while the rest months are created as a whole period with sub-periods, the sub code of the single periods are both 1, and the rest months start from 1 and end with 10. This is why the period codes in XLR is abnormal.
    Itu2019s a currently defined as a bug and a fix is in the process. Please try to use other data to filter the report result.

  • ITunes will not display the correct name of my iPod

    Whenever I connect my iPod to iTunes, iTunes displays the name of the iPod as HP_Pavillion, which is not the correct name for my iPod, and if I open it, no songs or videos are displayed but iTunes says that 15.13 gb are used (also incorrect).
    If I eject the iPod, all of my songs are there and the correct name is displayed under settings.
    What do I do????
    John

    okay, with that set of symptoms we had better check on this possibility:
    Windows confuses iPod with network drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear

  • Keyboard not displaying the correct characters on Windows 8.1

    Hi All, I have two HP keyboards model 5188-6077 and on Windows 8.1 the upper case 2 which should be the @ key is keying the " symbol and vice versa the " key is giving the @ symbol. I have never used these keyboards on Win 8 before, and they are both doing the same thing so I'm guessing that it is a driver issue. They both type correctly on Windows 7.
    I have tried, but can't find the correct driver for 8.1. Has anyone got a solution? Thanks, Jim
    This question was solved.

    Hi,
    It sound like the wrong input region for the keyboard - if the @ is above the 2 it should be set to US ( the " above the 2 is UK ).  See the guide below.

  • Why is BBP_WF_LIST not displaying the correct PO worklist?????????????

    Hi SRM Gurus,
    My requirement is to display only those Purchase Orders to the user that he has created once user clicks on Purchasing Tab->Ordered or Refresh Button .
    In order to achieve this requirement, I implemented the method 'BBP_WF_LIST' of BADI 'BBP_WF_LIST' for filter type = 'BUS2201'and inserted the following code:-
        li_list1[] = e_pdlist[].
      Looping at PO List
        LOOP AT li_list1 INTO lx_pdlist.
        Getting the PO details through function module
          CALL FUNCTION 'BBP_PD_PO_GETDETAIL'
            EXPORTING
              i_guid   = lx_pdlist-guid
            IMPORTING
              e_header = lx_header
            TABLES
              e_item   = li_item.
          IF NOT li_item IS INITIAL.
            SORT li_item BY number_int.
          Read first line item
            READ TABLE li_item INTO lx_po_item
                               WITH KEY number_int = c_num
                               BINARY SEARCH.
            IF sy-subrc = 0.
            Call FM to get details for shopping cart item
              CALL FUNCTION 'BBP_PD_SC_ITEM_GETDETAIL'
                EXPORTING
                  i_guid = lx_po_item-src_guid
                IMPORTING
                  e_item = lx_sc_item.
               IF NOT lx_sc_item IS INITIAL.
                  IF lx_sc_item-created_by = sy-uname.
                    APPEND lx_pdlist TO li_list.
                  ENDIF.
              ENDIF.
            ENDIF.
          ENDIF.
        ENDLOOP.
      ENDIF.
      refresh e_pdlist.
      e_pdlist[] = li_list[].
      SORT e_pdlist BY object_id.
    Now when I debugged this BADI , the logic is working fine and finally E_PDLIST[] holds only the list of Purchase Orders that meet our requirement but thw worklist that is finally displayed shows all the POs that exist in the system.
    Kindly provide me the solution for the same at the earliest.Have to deliver the object by tommorrow.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Swati

  • How can I combine the data from 3 old hard drives onto 1 newer hard drive and not duplicate the data?

    Is there an app that will help me do this?

    Finder. Create three partitions, then drag & drop each old HD onto a separate one. Alternatively, create three folders on the new HD and drag & drop each volume onto a separate one.

  • In Mac OS X Mail some emails are not displaying the correct font size.

    I have set my Mail to display email messages (Inbox) to Courier 13 point (easy to read) and most messages are displayed that way, however I often get emails that are displayed in unreadably small and often colored type. I don't understand why this is ... could someone explain how to fix this? Thanx.

    The email was probably sent from Outlook as RTF or HTML. You can tell Mail to display those as plain text as well by opening Terminal and typing this command (quit Mail first):
    defaults write com.apple.mail PreferPlainText -bool TRUE
    See http://www.hawkwings.net/2005/09/27/viewing-html-messages-in-apple-mail/ for more information.

  • My iPhone is not displaying the correct photo when I receive multiple emails with photos.  What's going on?

    For example, if I receive an email with "photo 1" attached and then a different email with "photo 2" attached, both emails will display whichever photo I view first.  If I reboot and view the other photo, then I can see it properly, but both emails will then show that photo.  This is happening on my iPhone and iPad 2.  I've talked to one other person who has a similar issue on their iPad 2.  Any idea what is happening and how I can fix this?  Thank you.

    Odd.  Have you tried a battery pull yet?
