12GB already used on out-of-the-box refurb MBP?

Hi-
Just a quick question--
My refurbished 15-inch MBP (2.2 Ghz, 120 GB hard disk) just arrived. I took it out of the box, started up and registered, and was planning to shift things from my old Powerbook G4 in Target disk mode, etc, but haven't done ANYTHING else yet. Out of curiosity I clicked on About this Mac, and saw that my HD has a capacity of 111.47 GB (I understand that "120 GB" probably means about 111 GB in reality), but that there is only 99.05 GB available, and 12.42 GB already used. Is that how much is needed for the basic Tiger (10.4.10) and applications that came preloaded on my MBP? If not, any ideas why 12.42 already used? Should I do an erase-and-install with Tiger OS? Do you think Apple didn't fully clean or erase the disk?
Thanks,
Samantha

When Apple says "120 GB hard drive" they mean 120 billion bytes. But strictly speaking, 1 GB is 10243 bytes, not 10003 bytes.
So when Finder says "111.47 GB capacity", it means 111.47 gigabytes, which is 111.47×10243=119.69 billion bytes. So your question is actually what happened to the missing 296 MB (or 0.31 billion bytes), and the answer is one of rounding error, disk overhead, or an extra partition on the hard drive used for booting. (The Boot camp forum has comments about an "extra" 300MB partition on the hard drive.)
Unfortunately, the misleading "x GB hard drive" label for what is really an x÷1.0243 GB drive has become an industry standard, and is always stated in the fine print.

  • JSP Compilation Error when using OC4J out of the box

    Hello.
    After installing Java jdk 1.5.0_05, setting ORACLE_HOME, setting JAVA_HOME, rebooting, and installing OC4J standalone straight out of the box, I have deployed a simple web project that consists of just one JSP. I receive the following error message:
    NOTIFICATION J2EE JSP-0008 Unable to dispatch jsp Page: oracle.jsp.provider.JspCompilationException: Errors compiling: C:\LocalApps\OC4J\j2ee\home\application-deployments\oc4j_jsp\persistence\_pages\\_Test.java<pre></pre>
    I have deployed a number of Flex2 applications without incident. What am I missing here? Another odd thing is that my organization has OAS running and it can render JSPs fine.
    Any help is appreciated thanks,
    Mike
    P.S. I have gone back and set the JSP debug switches, but they do not yeild much more info. Here is the stacktrace:

    I had the very same Problem, and I spent a lot of time on it.
    When installing Oc4j as a service using Javaservice opnesource, I had no problem, even using J.D.K 1.6:
    %JSEXE% -install %JSNAME% %JVMDIR%\jvm.dll -XX:PermSize=128m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -Djava.class.path=%OC4J_HOME%\oc4j.jar -start oracle.oc4j.loader.boot.BootStrap -params -config %OC4J_HOME%\config\server.xml -out %OC4J_HOME%\log\OC4J_service_stdout.log -err %OC4J_HOME%\log\OC4J_service_stderr.log -current %JSBINDIR% -auto -description OC4JService
    Then I wanted to install it using "ServiceMill" or "Javaservice Wrapper", becuase it has a better control on the process and I had that awfull compilation error.
    I guess it is because ServiceMills uses java.exe and javaservice the .dll to launch the oc4j, no idea.
    Anyway, thank you very much!!!!!

  • String  problem using B1ITM2B1ITM out of the box B1iSN 8.8 scenario

    Hi all,
        I am testing the out of the box scenario for Item syncronization (B1 to B1)
    It works fine except for one thing:
        If the ItemName contains xml special characters like < > & in the xml message they are  correctly converted into xml rappresentation &lt; &gt; amp; but when the message is sent to the destination company doesn't happen a reconversion to the readable rappresentation.
    What do I have to do to have the exact rappresentation  even in the destination company? Should i have to put translation tags into the xsl transformation? If so which they are?
    Thank you all in advance, Regards Luca.

    Solved...
        I found a bug in the conversion to xml format:
    >   is uncorrectly replaced with &amp;gt;
    so I have replaced:
    <ItemName>
         <xsl:value-of select="BO/Items/row/ItemName"></xsl:value-of>
    </ItemName>
    with:
    <xsl:variable name="itname">

    <ItemName>

  • How Can This Computer Be Used Right Out Of The Box With NO WORD PROCESSING!

    I just want to know why I can't do homework on a $1099 laptop!

    Welcome to the discussions!
    As mentioned, virtually no PC comes with MS Office on it - and that's a good thing. Most people do not need all the features of Office in a standard home setting and including it would just increase their price needlessly. Students who turn in homework through email will usually need it since teachers really don't want to be bothered with multiple file formats. I can't blame them.
    Check out your school's bookstore. It is likely that they have Office for Mac at a great price. If not - or if you want a different program - use OpenOffice or Apple's own iWork.

  • Can I use the iPhone 5 out of the box as a wifi device?

    Can I buy an Unlocked iPhone 5 from Apple when it is released and use it out of the box as a wifi device without needing unlock codes and sim cards? I do not plan on getting phone service right away and would like for the device to be functional (basically like a real expensive iPod) until i'm ready to get service.

    Meg is correct, unless you activate it using a microSIM if it is a GSM phone (and starting service with a CDMA phone) you will not be able to do anything with your new phone except call 911.
    Why not just wait and buy it when you can afford service?

  • Out of the box Media Web Part in VideoPlayerPage.aspx is not video loading dynamically after changing Media Setting

    Hi,
        We are on SharePoint 2013 and we are using the default SharePoint 2013 Asset Library to upload videos. We are using purely out of the box sharepoint 2013 with no customization at all.
    When we click on any videos, It will lead us to the videoPlayerPage.aspx and plays the video that we click on which is what we wanted. But we do not want the player to play videos on load thus we did the following action
     Edit Page 
     Click on the Media Web Part checkbox and the Media Tab in the Ribbon appears
     Uncheck "Start Media Automatically"
     Stop Editing
    After doing this, no matter whatever video was click, it will only load the video which we perform the action on.
    How can we undo this change or revert back as we need the videoplayerpage.aspx to load video based on what we click in Asset Library? 
    Thank you.
    Best Regards
    Alex Lee

    I just did this myself and it did the same to me when editing it via the page editing.
    If you open in SharePoint Designer, you can browse to the page (/Forms/Video/VideoPlayerPage.aspx) and change the property in the HTML.  This will keep the web part properties from getting overwritten in the DB.  You will then be able to open each
    video without it playing automatically.
    NOTE:  You need to delete the asset library, then add it back in order to apply this.

    Is it possible to change out of the box Callout content (change DOM elements) for already existing library using some javascript API?

    We can use CSS and jQuery to achieve it.

    Just started up my Mac Mini out of the box, using a USB windows keyboard, it will not recognize letters so I am unable to enter serial number.  Anything I can do to get the mini mac right out of the box to recognize the windows keyboard?  Do I have to buy an Apple Keyboard to get it to work right out of the box?

    Is this a normal USB keyboard or is there anything specialized about it? Does this keyboard require you to install any special software to use it on a Windows box? Or is it usually a plug & play keyboard?
    Normally if a Mac does not recognize a keyboard it asks you to press certain keys to identify the keyboard. What is happening on screen with this keyboard? What serial number are you referring to?

  • [Beginner] build a calendar app for each team using out of the box calendar app

    Hi all,
    First of all, I'm a beginner in sharepoint and need some advice in the following case:
    We want to to create a calendar for different teams. Each team has it's own calendar to schedule a standby (all day event) for each day. In the overall view we want to see for each team the schedule who's standby (overlay). My preferred solution is to create
    a new site and use the calendar app and customize this a little bit.
    I tried to do this by creating a new calendar app and adding different views for each team. I have set the group calendar option on true so we can add users to each team calendar view. Unfortunately, I have understand that it is not possible to set default
    users for each view. I´m also looking how I can set a default title filled with the name of the view when you add a schedule, I tried to do this with a calculated value but I can´t get that working. An other question is, can I set permissions on each team
    view who can edit the schedule or is it better to create for each team an own list? For example, I want to disable that team members can edit schedules in the past, only schedules in the future is editable.
    I'm not not sure if the out of the box calendar app is suitable for my case or I have to look futher in other solutions. Any advice is welcome!

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to build a calendar app which can add default users for each calendar view and set default title when adding schedule.
    For adding default users in each group calendar view using custom JavaScript, here is a detailed code demo for your reference:
    SharePoint Group Calendar, Adding default users
    For adding default title when adding schedule, I suggest you can add some Jquery to fill the title textbox when the schedule new form loading. You can add the Jquery under PlaceHolderMain tag of calendar new form page.
    Set Textbox value-using JQuery 
    For setting permission in the each team view, I suggest you can check the schedule end time in the edit form, if the schedule time is before the current date time, then you can set all the fileld read only using Jquery.
    More information:
    Jquery function to compare date with current date
    Jquery set read only

  • Can you use the 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display straight out of the box, or do you have to charge it first?

    Can you use the 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display straight out of the box, or do you have to charge it up fully before you can use it. I do not want to damage the laptop by misusing the battery.

    Attach the charger and start charging the battery to 100%.  The good news is that after you have connected the charger, you may start using the MBP as well.

    Compare the strengths and limitations of the Web Parts
    It’s important that you understand the strengths and limitations of the two Web Parts because if you choose the wrong one, your site could run into performance problems. You can use both Web Parts to show content that is based on a query. In a simplified
    world, here’s how you can decide between the two:
    Use the CQWP when you have a limited amount of content, your query is simple, and you don’t expect your content to grow much in the future.
    Use the CSWP in all other scenarios when you want to show content that is based on a query.
    The table below gives a comparison of the two Web Parts:

    It charged from 0-27% in roughly 3 hours.
    I have come home to find it is not charging at all, when turned off when I plug the powered cable in it does turn on as if it is receiving power but it does not charge.
