643MB too much for 700MB disk

I get a message "Whatwhat.fpbf" is too large to fit on the disk. Remove some files and try again." I doubt this is actually related to the size of the blank CD since it is 700MB and the data I want to burn to it came from a CD as well. The data folder is 643MB. Anyone know if this is some type of secret language that needs a Swami to interpret?

Hi MoofAngel
If I put in a blank 700 CD which by calculation from decimal to binary actually = 667 MB, and Get Info about it, it says
capacity 670 MB
Available 660.7
Used 9.2
What is used on a blank disk I wonder? Is it a reserved space for the file structure perhaps? Anyway it should still take 660MB
Try creating a disk image in Disk Utility of say 645 or 650 MB, load your Folder into it and then try burning that .dmg onto a disk.

OS Lion Slow, is it too much for my MBP?

hi everyone-
I have a 2007 model MBP, 2.33 GHz Intel core 2 duo. I upgraded everything I could within the last year with a 500 gb internal hard drive and 4GB 667 MHz memory installed. Out of that 500GB hard drive, almost 290GB are available.
I upgraded to Lion and everything seemed to run well at first and was impressed with the speed. However recently everything has slowed down. I searched the forums and found tips on disk repair and repairing permissions, which ended up making the OS unable to boot at the startup screen. Thank god for time machine. Long story short, I pulled out my old Snow Leopard disk and reinstalled (yes I also tried the lion recovery, which didn't help), and then went and reinstalled lion from the app store. 1 weekend later and now Monday, I'm back to having everything running. However today I am noticing that the apps are lagging once again,and I'm constantly getting the beach ball and little gestures are taking forever to load. Could Lion be too much for my MBP, which up until recently flew?
Any and all suggestions will be helpful. I use my MBP everyday for my workload, so getting this to perform again and keep up with my demand is extremely important.
Thanks!

Check the SMART status in Disk Utility. Other than that, not that I know of. Perhaps more advanced disk utilities like Disk Warrior, but I don't know.
You would hear the disk making a lot of noise if it were having issues accessing a bad sector.
I had a drive that started causing slow-downs and beach balls for a while. Erased drive and reinstalled. Same thing. The SMART status in Disk Utility showed Verified up until the drive died completely.

Is this video too much for my G4 Powerbook?

Hi,
I have downloaded a video from Vimeo and it won't play. At best it gets very choppy, even the audio, to the point where it just stalls.
I have a G4 powerbook, 15"
1.6GHz
2GB RAM
250GB hardrive (165GB free)
OSX 10.5.6
Quicktime Pro 7.6
The video is;
H.264 Decoder
1280x720
Millions
AAC
Data size 52.99MB
Data rate 6233.57kbits/s
Is this too much for my good old Mac?

Thanks Kirk, what a shame. I'd love a new Macbook Pro but I always said I would use my G4 till it fell to pieces, never thinking it would fail me in such a unremarkable way.
Might have to wait till the end of the summer though.....
Would you mind educating me somewhat. I wasn't sure from the details given in the Quicktime movie inspector whether the video was HD or not. The creator of the video shot it on a Canon Rebel XT SLR camera, in burst mode. That itself made me doubt it was HD, but Vimeo deals in HD footage so I just didn't know.
How did you deduce it to be HD, and what should I be looking for? How much data could my G4 handle?
Thanks again Kirk!

HT5048 Hi, 1.34 is too much for me ... can I deselect Catalan, Croatian, Greek, Hebrew, Romanian, Slovak, Thai, and Ukrainian languages and download only the OS with less GB?

Are you asking why those non-ASCII characters are printing incorrectly? It's because the console is still treating the output as ASCII. The JVM is encoding each character as two bytes according to the UTF-8 spec, but the console is treating each byte as a separate, ASCII-encoded character. Changing the locale of the OS or the "file.encoding" property of the JVM doesn't affect the behavior of the console.
When I run your code on my WinXP machine (leaving "file.encoding" at its default setting), I get this output: // __ System.getProperty("file.encoding"): |Cp1252|
// __ |en_US|
// __ |225|�|
// __ |233|Θ|
// __ |237|φ|
// __ |243|≤|
// __ |250|�|
// __ |252|ⁿ|
// __ |241|�|
// __ |191|┐|
// __ |161|�|
// __ |251|√|
// __ |224|α|
// __ |223|▀|
// __ |232|Φ|
// __ |235|δ| The JVM is outputting the text as cp1252, but the console is treating it as cp437, its default codepage (encoding). When I change the console's encoding with the command "CHCP 1252" and run the code again, I get: // __ System.getProperty("file.encoding"): |Cp1252|
// __ |en_US|
// __ |225|�|
// __ |233|�|
// __ |237|�|
// __ |243|�|
// __ |250|�|
// __ |252|�|
// __ |241|�|
// __ |191|�|
// __ |161|�|
// __ |251|�|
// __ |224|�|
// __ |223|�|
// __ |232|�|
// __ |235|�| I don't know if it's possible to change the encoding of the console in your OS, but that's not a showstopper. Just write the output to a file, then use a reasonably capable text editor to view the result. And there's no need to change all those OS/JVM settings; just specify the encoding when you open the file for writing: FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("out.txt");
OutputStreamWriter osw = new OutputStreamWriter(fos, "UTF-8");

Aperture too much for Nvidia 6600?

I've heard that Aperture is too much for dealing with RAW files using the Nvidia 6600. I just bought an EOS 40D, and am wondering if anyone knows if this is true. I know Adobe has Lightroom as an alternative to Aperture, but if I can I'd prefer Apple's software. Is Apple planning on releasing graphics card updates for their PPC G5's? I have a Quad. Thanks!

Yes it runs. You might want to do a reinstall, or go through the troubleshooting docs.
I made the 1.5 update, have a Quad, an Nvidia GeForce 6600, and it works. It's just not a great LCD resolution, nor as fast at rendering as you'd hope.
Is there some super special soldering that needs to be done in order to install a Quadro FX 4500 or GeFore 7800 GT? Is that why Apple isn't providing upgrades for their 6600 userbase?
I realize they need special firmware in order to work on Apple motherboards, that's why Nvidia offers no Mac support...but once again, wth?
Apple Store employee's have been recommending I go buy one at Fry's....lol. Gee, if only it was so easy.
Unfortunately there is no upgrade available for PCI-Express PowerPC Mac's beyond the Nvidia GeForce 6600, which I already have, it was stock in my machine, and it's NOT good enough.

Is Mountain Lion just too much for my MAC?

I was running Snow Leopard and it was great everything ran smooth and everything. I needed to upgrade to iMovie 11 which I couldnt due unless I upgraded to Mountain Lion.
Now my computer just runs sluggish. Everything lags now, from internet browsing to itunes to everything. Ever since I upgraded its been like a downgrade.
My mac is a early 2008 model macbook pro. Is Mountain Lion just too much for my computer or is there anything I can do to fix this?

It's easy. Apple even provides instructions for you: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1270
Crucial has a little app you can install that will examine your system and suggest upgrade options:

You don't have to buy from them, though they are a good vendor, as is OWC / MacSales.

I want to install Mountain Lion on my 2008 iMac. My current OS is Snow Leopard 10.8.6. I've heard ML may be too much for this iMac. I would appreciate anyone's advice.

I want to install Mountain Lion on my 2008 iMac. My current OS is Snow Leopard 10.8.6 and there is 4GB RAM. I've heard ML may be too much for this iMac and may slow it down. Has anyone had any problems with this upgrade?

See > http://www.apple.com/osx/specs OS X Mountain Lion requires a Mid 2007 iMac or newer, and your iMac can run Mountain Lion without any problem. 4 GB of memory are enough for Mountain Lion, but if you are going to use heavier applications, maybe you will need more RAM
Before upgrading, you must make a Time Machine backup and/or a clone with Carbon Copy Cloner, and check that your applications are supported > http://www.roaringapps.com

I own CS 5 Design Premium. Reading the FAQs, it seems I am eligible to upgrade to CS 6 but I can't find the upgrade to purchase and download. I can't upgrade to CC because $49 per month is too much for me -- I don't use this product for work. The $29 offer seems reasonable but $49 is way too much. I don't need the majority of the programs included in CC, but subscribing to just three of them will cost way more. Really not sure what to do here :-(

Thanks Ned. I did find this page, however it isn't an upgrade. I have been purchasing Adobe products for years so that I could just pay the upgrade price for current products. With the current system, I would be paying much more than I would for an upgrade. For example, I have been using my version of CS for at least three years. The upgrade cost me $750 so that comes out to around $21 per month. I guess I have no options as far as upgrading except for paying for the overpriced CC. Oh well, time to start looking for alternatives. It was just so convenient to have the same programs at home that I use at work.

Time machine backup too big for empty disk??

So I restart my MacBook Pro a few minutes after completing a full Time Machine backup. When it restarts it goes through the grey startup screen, then gets stuck on the blue screen just before the desktop normally appears. This happens whenever I startup. I am still able to hit the power button and get the Restart/Shut Down dialog, so I restart using my Snow Leopard boot disk, run Disk Utility, repair permissions, and repair disk, but the problem still remains. I decide to Restore from Time Machine Backup, so I erase my disk (80 GB, had only 200 MB free), go to the Restore screen and connect my backup disk. Now the weird part -- it says my latest backup is too big for the disk, even though i just erased everything, and 74.2 GB show as free. All my previous backups seem to fit fine, but apparently the last time Time Machine backed up more from my disk than can fit on my disk! It seems having a hard disk close to full is enough to render a backup effectively useless. Guess I'll have to restore from a previous backup, then manually copy the newer files. Just wanted to alert others to this insane problem, so it doesn't happen to them.

That's likely corrupted your system. You should have a minimum of 10% - 15% free at all times. That's almost certainly why it wouldn't restart.

There must be something else on the drive; if you erase it, it should have just under 80 GB free. Is there another partition?
Did you erase with a Leopard Install disc or a Snow Leopard disc? If you used a Leopard disc, that might explain showing only 74.2 GB free (it counts differently).
If so, use your +Snow Leopard+ install disc to do a complete reformat, and try to restore the backup. A Leopard disc cannot restore a Snow Leopard backup. Even the Snow Leopard disc may not work, as it's just too full and/or your system was damaged by getting too full.

Having an OSX drive that full will make your Mac extremely sluggish, cause data corruption and/or loss, apps to crash, etc.

If you can get your Mac running, you need to make several GBs of space immediately.
If all else fails, reformat the internal HD and install OSX from your Snow Leopard Install disc, then use +Setup Assistant+ after the Welcome video to transfer +*most, but not all+* of your stuff from the backup. Omit the contents of one or more large sub-folders in a home folder (such as Photos, Music, or Movies).

Maybe too much for me sli/plat neo 4 no pst with pci e

My stats are in my sig. Maybe too much for me but I been fighting for 3 weeks and 2 days. Whenever my winfast is in pci-e it throws memory error. Take it out and throw in a 8mb pci card into another slot works fine. I have tried diffrent powersupplies and memory. Was told the board was ok but did not see it for myself. Did see the card work . I have removed from case and sli switch checked , backplate coolers, I even did a cartwheel still no post with pci-express. Any ideas
this is on a winchester 3500 +

Then do the following: enter in BIOS and press Shift+F2 and after Alt+F3 then go to the Cell Menu and you will see one option called NV/ATI SpeedUp set it to disable save the BIOS and shutdown remove the PCI card and put your PCI-E card in and start the comp, see if it starts.
If not then you have an incompatible PCI-E card, if you are sure that the card is not faulty.
Be well....

Time Machine backup too large for backup disk

My Mac hard drive is 750GB (25GB free).
My LaCie external dedicated backup hard drive is 1TB (342GB free).
I am now getting the error "Time Machine couldn't complete the backup" "This backup is too large for the backup disk"
I thought once my initial backup of 750GB happened, it would be incremental backups from then on (with old changes betting deleted as space was needed for new changes).
Is this not the case? Do I need a much larger backup drive or something?
Thanks much for any help.

It's true but Time Machine has also to make complete backups again in case you want to restore your Mac with a more recent Time Machine backup.
Clearly the external drive you have doesn't have enough storage to back up your Mac. As you have about 725 GB of used space, I recommend you to get at least a 3 or 4 TB external drive to make backups, and even with this, don't think you will have more than four backups. Another thing you can do is to remove folders from the backup in System Preferences > Time Machine > Options

I have a 500 GB hard drive and a 1TB Time Capsule running on a MacBook Pro. It was all working well until the MacBook went in for a repair a week or so ago. Since then, TC will not perform a backup; instead, it says the backup is too large for the disk

Since having my MacBook Pro repaired (for a video problem) Time Capsule returns the following message: "This backup is too large for the backup disk. The backup requires 428.08 GB but only 192.14 GB are available."
I notice that there is also a new sparse bundle.
Since TC has my ONLY backup (going back about 4 years) I am reluctant to wipe it and start over fresh as I am afraid of losing files.
Is there a way of dealing with this?
I am using Snow Leopard 10.6.8

The repair shop likely replaced a major circuit board on your MacBook Pro, so Time Machine thinks that you have a "new" computer and it wants to make a new complete backup of your Mac.
You are going to have to make a decision to either add another new Time Capsule....or USB drive to your existing Time Capsule....and in effect start over with a new backup of your Mac and then move forward again.
For "most" users, I think this is probably the best plan because you preserve all your old backups in case you need them at some point, and you start over again with a new Time Capsule so you have plenty of room for years of new backups.
Or, as you have mentioned, you have the option of erasing the Time Capsule drive and starting all over again. The upside is that you start over and have plenty of room for new backups. The downside is that you lose years of backups.
Another option....trying to manually delete old backups individually....is tricky business....and very time consuming. To get an idea of what is involved here, study this FAQ by Pondini, our resident Time Capsule and Time Machine expert on the Community Support area. In particular, study the pink box.
http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/12.html
Once you look through this, I think you may agree that this type of surgery is not for the faint of heart. I would suggest that you consider this only if one of the other options just cannot work for you.

How can I tweak firefox to use less of RAM?100MB+ is too much for my system.thanks

Ok,
I have latest updated version of firefox.
I have hp510 laptop with 1 GB of RAM.
My problem is that firefox is really good but uses too much of RAM(100 MB or more) while in usage.
How can I tweak firefox to use less RAM, as my system gets hammered.
Thank you.
Danny

thanks.
I opened my extensions, and all are disabled, except ADBLOCK.
I usually clean my history on weekly basis, sometimes even on daily basis.
When I use firefox, most of the time ther is no other application in use by me (I don't encounter all those back apps for the system).
Most of the time, I have only 2 windows open , very rare there more.
The issue is that even at starting of firefox session I can see in task manager there is minimum 95 MB or charge, without any work done by me.
I usually have charge about 370-390 MB of RAM, but when I open Firefox it gets me up to 500 or more.
