Adding datafile that is smaller than the original

Hi,
I was thinking of adding a new datafile to my existing two. The existing datafiles are set at maximum size 20Gb each. At the present moment the datafiles are already at 90% usage.
Could I know if I could add another datafile with maxextent of 5Gb instead of 20Gb? Would there be any problems?
Thanks!
Flintz

There's no reason you have to have your datafiles the same size, although most dbas probably do just for consistancy.

Copied folder smaller than the original one

Hi, when I copy my folder of Logic song material (size approx. 4,55 GB, located on the desk) to an external Harddisk (WD ´my book´, I guess Fat32, brandnew and not formatted under OS X) or via my inhouse network (on a windows PC with NTFS), the copied folder is smaller than the original one - approx. 4,2 or 4,3 GB then.
Is that normal or are files lost during the copying? I need help with this urgently, because I have to do the backup.
My system: PowerMac G5 Dual, 2,5 GHz, 3 GB RAM, Tiger (newest version), nothing special.
Thank you für your help,

Is that normal or are files lost during the copying? I need help with this urgently, because I have to do the backup.Copying can certainly reduce the space taken, because fragmentation is reduced.
If you want a one off count of your folder, you can do this:
Open the Terminal (from /Applications/Utilities) and type
cdNow type a space, and then drag the folder you are interested in to the Terminal window. It will fill in the path automatically, so you will see something like
cd /Users/jdoe/Documentsfor example. Now type a return, and then copy and paste the following, as one line, into the Terminal window:
<pre>echo "`find . -type f \! -name ".*" | wc -l` files and `find . -type d | wc -l` folders"</pre>Now press return, and wait!
As an indication, for my Home folder it takes about 35 seconds on a 600MHz iBook (slow drives in these laptops) to tell me I have 16631 files and 3920 folders. The command does not count dotfiles, such as ".DS_Store", deliberately, so there may be small discrepancies.

Why is the version file smaller than the original file, although I didn't make changes in the file? And why is the keywords don't exporting with original files?

Hi! Why is the version file smaller than the original file, although I didn't make changes in the file? And why is the keywords don't exporting with original files?

Wild guess: you're using the the wrong export settings. You'll need to tell us more before we can help you - like the export settings you're usng, the size and format of the originals etc.

Why is my "Combined PDF" file size smaller than the original files?

Hello!
I am trying to combine two individual PDF files into a single PDF. Each file is 32mb, however when I use acrobat to combine them, the newly created "combined" file is only 19mb. I believe I've taken the necessary steps to ensure no degradation is happening (i.e. selecting Large File Size in the options panel), but I am still puzzled as to how two files can be put together as one and be smaller than the two separate files with out any compression. What am I missing?
Thanks in advance!

When you combine a file it does a "Save As" operation. This re-writes all of the PDF object in the single file and is supposed to clean up the file, whereas the single files may have had multiple saves which when you look at the internals of the PDF file simply add on to the end of the file. In other words you get a more cleanly written and optimized file that is also saved for Fast Web View.

For some reason all of my forwards, and my printing come out significantly smaller than the original. Any idea how to get this back to printing the size of my screen and forwarding the size of the original mail I've received? Thanks.

Hi. I am not technically proficient. I have somehow hit something that is making my email forwards and text to the printer way smaller than what is appearing on my screen. I have looked into everything I can think of in settings and outlook express. If you have any ideas, I would greatly appreciate them. I assume that one click and I'll be back to "normal", but can't figure out which darned click that would be. Thanks.

Have you checked Outlook's font preferences? You can change to size under General Preferences>Fonts. You can also change font sizes by using ⌘shift+

In Cp5, can you record a window that is smaller than the project size?

We would like to have a project that is sized larger than the application capture areas, in order to have a section to the side of the application captures that can be used for buttons, text boxes, and rollover objects for example. For example, the Cp project size may be 800x600, while the captured window size is 700x600. In Cp4, I can only capture at the size of the project. Is Cp5 different or does the capture size just have to equal the project size? Would this example require capturing at 700x600 and resizing to 800x600, while maintaining the backgorund image sizes and orienting the images left/right during resize? Has anyone done something like this and have a recommended way to accomplish it?

Hello,
Sorry to be a bit lazy, but it is late in the evening over here. Perhaps my blog post about Knockout Master slides could help? You will have to rescale anyway and I tried to explain some maths for the rescaling:

Forwarded images are much smaller than the original

Something new has happened. After 10 years of Mail I am just experiencing this phenomenon. When I forward an email with pictures or illustrations attached, the forwarded images are about 75% the size of the original. In many instances that takes the readability away. Does anyone have an idea how I can fix this or what causes it? Thanks.

The exported mbox is way smaller than the original?

Hi,
I have a local mail account where the mbox comes in at 1,5GB. When I use the export to mbox function the resulting mbox is only 850MB. I have used the "permanently purge deleted mails" option but that didn't change anything about thos 1,5GB. Should I be concerned that half my mails are missing from my new backup?
Thanks a lot.

You might have accidentally "zoomed" the site (zoom works both to make the font larger and smaller). Try resetting the zoom level first before moving into the font settings. You can do that by pressing '''Ctrl+0''' (''that's a zero'') when you're on the problem site.

Any luck?

Thanks Now I can sleep well again.

"Hard drive is smaller than the one originally installed"

Hi,
Recently, a coworker installed several viruses on his 9300 elite running Windows 7 x32. After trying several things and not being able to get rid of them, I ordered the recovery disks from HP. I ran the disks, and everything appeared to work fine until the recovery finished. The PC would restart, act like it was booting into windows (windows splash screen), then go to an HP screen that would say "HP is initializing software install" or something along those lines. It would sit for a minute then give me the error "an unrecoverable error has occurred. please contact system administrator. press enter to reboot".
I thought it might be a problem with the disks, so I ordered replacement disks. Now, as soon as I put in the supplemental disk and click "next", I get the error "hard drive is smaller than one originally installed". No hard drive has ever been replaced on the PC that I know of. I'm not sure how to fix this.

I just got this same message--did you ever get this resolved?

How can I create a slideshow that depicts only a version of a photo rather than the original? Since the original and new versions are saved together, the aperture slideshow often choices the original rather than the desired version to display/

How can I create a slideshow that depicts only a version of a photo rather than the original? Since the original and new versions are saved together, the aperture slideshow often choices the original rather than the desired version to display.

There are two things we use the name "Slideshow" for in Aperture: a Slideshow Album, used for making Slideshows, and the Slideshow that is made. (Imho, it is a design mistake to not call the containers used to create Slideshows, Books, etc., "Albums".)
The Slideshow will use the Album Pick from any Stack. A good way to use Aperture is to promote the Image you want to regularly use (such as, for example, a Version with adjustments) to the top of the Stack. This makes it the Stack Pick, and will be the default Album Pick. If you haven't done that, you can still change the Album Pick for any Stack in a Slideshow Album. Expand your Stack(s), select the Image in each Stack that you want to be the Album Pick (and thus shown in the Slideshow), and "Stacks➞Set Album Pick". (Note the keyboard shortcut; there is also a Toolbar icon for this.) The change is immediate. The Slideshow will always show the Album Pick (or, if there is not one, the Stack Pick) for every Stack in your Slideshow Album.

Why photos in iPhoto (mac) have a different size (mb) than the original?

I have noticed that some photos (not all) have a smaller size (in MB) in iPhoto than the original ones. Do you know the reasons of such decrease of size? iPhoto import procedure is supposed to not lose any information wrt the orignal one then, why the imported photos in some cases should be smaller? Thanks in advance.

1. the source of the original size is the size that I read in the finder (not the one read in the camera).
2. the pictures are jpg
3. the source of the anomalous size is the info box of iphoto, the box where you can find all the exif info, resolution, iso, f-number, EV, etc. In this box you can read also the size of the photo, and here I find that for some photos a smaller size than the original one read in the finder.
4. for the records the camera is a FUJI S5 pro.
5. the photos are not edited in iphoto, as said in my reply, just imported and placed in a album. I just import photos in a folder on my mac, import those photos in iphoto, and I find the mismatch of the size between the photos in the folder on my desktop with the original photos and the ones in iphoto. As said, this does not happen for all photos, but for a subset, which appears to be random, since I do not find common features in these photos. I have check in older photos imported and find similar mismatch.
I know that's crazy, I really do not understand why this strange fact is happening. It is even stranger, that if I import twice the same photo, I read two different size in iphoto.

Lightroom displays files and exports files darker than the original or from Photoshop

Hello all.
I would first like to preface this by stating I am not technically minded, and I know nothing (or very little) of ICC profiles etc.
Though assume someone will attempt to tell me to do something with them in a really technical way which I won't understand, please treat me like a 4 year child in this regard.
I am using Lightroom 5.6 on a Mac running 10.9.4 I have CS6 Photoshop and have a Spyder 3pro calibration device and have linked all of the Adobe programs to the output of the calibration to "hopefully" ensure quality control.
I recently have been scanning analogue film and importing this into Lightroom 5. I have noticed that the file imported always looks darker than the original.
When I have exported from Lightroom them they look like crap.
There are no import additional settings as they are all turned off. I did that when I installed LR.
I have also noticed than whenever I imported a Raw file for some reason the original file would look great for a second then when clicked on would also change to something less appealing. But I digress.
So in attempt to show what is happening. I have created some images to illustrate my problem.
Also it does not matter if I turn the soft proofing on or off.

Lightroom vs Photoshop Histogram - Very similar
Left: File opened from Lightroom as the Original      Right: Original Photoshop File
Left: File opened from an Export from Lightroom      Right: Original Photoshop File
Any clues as this is very annoying and at the moment makes Lightroom 5 unusable.

Can you put one of your scans somewhere, like www.dropbox.com, and post a public download/share link to it?   I'd like to try one of the scans on my computer, though, to see if it does the same thing. You can crop an original down to something smaller that includes sky and trees like your screenshots show.
I am guessing there is a gamma problem or a profile problem somewhere. What Profile do the scans have embedded in them from the scanner? You can turn on the three Ask checkboxes in your color-settings and see what it says when you open an original in Photoshop.
My guess is that LR is using a default profile that doesn't match what Photoshop is using, but perhaps there is a gamma issue, too.
Have you tried opening one of the originals in the Camera Raw plug-in, perhaps from Bridge or just from PS / File / Open. You may have to set your PS Camera Raw settings to prefer ACR for TIFs. ACR and LR should be about the same in file handling so it'd be interesting to see if that is the case.

The images become dimmer than the original ones

I am using "Camera Raw 4.5" and my camera is D60.
When I just open the raw file in photoshop, the image shown in the preview window is much dimmer than the original. After saved as jpg, the image is also dimmer than the original (just the preview one).
However, when I directly convert the raw format to jpg format, the image is sharpe. This is what I said the original one.
Thanks.

You may find that the quick preview (the one you see when you first look at the photos in Bridge, and the one you see in Windows Explorer) is how you expect. This is because raw files contain small jpeg images created by the camera, which are used for previewing the raw image capture.
Your problem is a common one, and it isn't really a problem as such. What you are seeing is the raw conversion achieved using the software's default settings. You need to change the default settings.
If you install the DNG Profiles, located here:
http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/DNG_Profiles
you can change the camera calibration profile to something better like Adobe Standard. You can then save the setting as Camera Raw Defaults. From then on, all previews and default conversions will be made using these settings.
If you've set non-standard Picture Controls in your camera, you can pick one of the 'Camera X' profiles instead, to approximate the look. But, arguably, Picture Controls are designed for JPEG shooters, and the desired effect is better obtained through use of Camera Raw's sliders.

When trying to upload a MS word file (.docx) to gmail, it uploads into a folder that doesn't contain the original document when i try to download it from e-mail. how do i solve this?

when trying to upload a MS word file (.docx) to gmail, it uploads as a 'folder' that doesn't contain the original document when i try to download it back from the e-mail. how do i set the format to simply upload the document itself??? Thanks...

Yes, excuse me. attach a file. I have separate folders on my desktop to organize my word documents, so I'm guessing this might be a part of the problem. When I go to attach one of these documents into gmail, the resulting attachment is another folder icon (not the original organizational folders) with 4 subfolders containing a slew of .xml files reading things like "header.xml" "format.xml" "settings.xml" "style.xml" "contenttype.xml" There are also a few .jpegs and a small folder reading "word" as one of the subfolders.
