Adding layers much too big even after resize

I have a PSD project with several layers. The size of the image is 92mm X 62 mm.
I then open a person.jpg and want to add this person to my PSD as another layer.
The file person.jpg is 323 mm X 111 mm.
I resize person.jpg to 30mm x 10 mm. The image now shows this new size.
Using the move tool, I drag the person.jpg file on top of the original PSD file, but it is way to huge.
In fact only a small portion of the person.jpg can be seen.
How do I properly resize the person.jpg so it will fit within the boundaries of the original PSD project?
Thanks

Make person.jpg the identical size and resolution of the PSD then save and close it. Go back to your PSD and click:
File >> Place
Then navigate again to your jpeg in the folder. Use the smart object corner handle to re-size/scale.
You could also try File >> Place with the 30 x 10 jpeg

Previews questions from link - "preview folder so big, even after purging the 1:1"

Can someone clear this up a bit?
My LR 2.1 preview folder is at 12gb, and I want to get that under control. After reading all of the threads here about previews it seems one of the best choices is just delete the folder and then let LR 2.1 rebuild it. But before I do that I want to set my preview options correctly. The info below (found in another thread) is good, but confusing at the same time.
1) "You have 4 choices: 1024, 1440, 1680 and 2048. If all you want is standard-sized then choose a size equal to or slightly less than your screen size" Is this based on the long edge of your screen size? long edge meaning 1280.
2) "Now take the example of a larger camera, say a 8MP camera such as the Canon 1DMKII with an image size of 3504 by 2336 pixels. With the standard-sized set at 1680 pixels the full-size will again be purged (i.e. 3504/2=1752 pixels, which is greater than 1680 pixels)". This formula looks to be saying the long edge, correct?
Am I understanding this correctly? This looks to be saying;
A) standard previews uses your screen size.
B) 1:1 previews uses images pixel sizes?
C) you only have one setting to control previews for standard and 1:1? (that being the "You have 4 choices: 1024, 1440, 1680 and 2048")
This is interesting because in my case my screen size in 1280, but most all my Nikon D3 images are 42xx. So if I want to keep my previews folder clean and growth controlled, I should basically set my previews option to the lowest 1024? And one more interesting tid bit, how does a cropped image play into the 4 choices? Say I crop a 42xx image to oh say 2024, then my 1:1 for that image will never be purged? I'm probably missing something here, and it wouldnt be the first time.
Why is the Lightroom preview folder so big, even after purging the 1:1 previews?

1:1 or full-size previews take up a large amount of HD space, often many 10's of GB's. This is why building them on demand is an alternative to building them up front, and why you have options for auto or manually purging them. That said, it may not always be possible to delete 1:1 previews - more later.
Standard-sized previews are based on the pixel size option you chose in Catalog Settings. You have 4 choices: 1024, 1440, 1680 and 2048. If all you want is standard-sized then choose a size equal to or slightly less than your screen size. Lr also builds smaller versions at the same time. These are used for the thumbnail, 1:2, 1:3 and 1:4 zoom levels. Adobe call this the "preview pyramid".
1:1 previews will not be deleted unless your chosen standard-sized preview is less than half the size of the full-sized preview. For example, you have images with pixel dimensions of 3072 by 2048 pixels (6MP camera such as Canon 10D) and have selected 1680 pixels for standard-sized previews. Since a 1680 pixel preview is more than half the size of the original the full-sized preview will be kept, even after using the purge 1:1 preview command. Had you chosen 1440 pixel for standard-sized previews then the full-sized would have been purged (i.e. 3072/2=1536, which is greater than 1440). Now take the example of a larger camera, say a 8MP camera such as the Canon 1DMKII with an image size of 3504 by 2336 pixels. With the standard-sized set at 1680 pixels the full-size will again be purged (i.e. 3504/2=1752 pixels, which is greater than 1680 pixels).
thanks,

You do not indicate what your preview setting was while you accumulated a 12Gb preview folder. Nor do you indicate how many images are in your catalog.
Given your screen size of 1280 (laptp?) I would set the preview size to 1440 since this is still far less than half of your D3 images.
Cropping - I'll safely guess - has no effect on your preview size choices.
I confess that preview sizing and purging is confusing. I avoid the confusion by shouting "more disk, mama".

The browsers for my applications are much too big

A certain cat walked across the keyboard of my macbook pro and now the browsers for my applications are much too big. I am unable to scroll all the way down. i tried the standard "command +/-" but it isn't working. Please help! Here are two screenshots, the first in iMovie and the second in Word (i just installed the 2011 update but am unable to get past this screen because i can't scroll all the way to the bottom.)

no problem. Also, if you go onto Displays in system preferences, you can select the box in the bottom left, which will then put a display icon in the top right so you can click it and quickly change the display resolution back if such a problem happens again without going into system preferences.

Another thing worth mentioning - Lightroom will usually delay purging previews for deleted images until after the application has been closed and reopened, even then it might take a few minutes to clear the purged previews. The idea here is to ensure the previews don't get deleted whilst there's still a chance that they may be needed (e.g. you removed images by mistake then use Undo command to reinstate them).
Hopefully above explains why Lightroom doesn't behave as you expect. If it makes your head spin, think how much mine spun when writing it.

Windows 7 boot camp audio...too loud, even after fix

I've just recently upgraded to Windows 7 (32-bit) and also updated to Boot Camp 4.0 as well.
Once the Boot Camp update finished, the audio was scratchy and distorted. Fortunately I've installed the most recent version of Realtek HD Audio drivers.
The sound just gets clearer and however it gets too darn loud even it's on the middle volume. I've looked upon the sound manager from Realtek drivers but there isn't any advanced sound controls to keep the sound low and balanced.
Does anybody happened to this before and give me some good solution so to make the sound as balanced as possible?
By the way, it happened to me before when I was running Windows XP SP3 under the previous Boot Camp version. Then I've discovered the advanced controls to get the sound low and balanced and it worked like a charm! I wonder if I could do the same thing on Windows 7?

Just so you're aware dude this is a common issue with those running any version of Windows!! lol

SQL server error log size is too big to handle

I am working with a large database on windows sql server 2008 R2 such that it has to run continuously 24x7 because of that it is not possible
to restart the server time to time. It is kind of monitoring system for big machines. Because of this SQL server error logs are growing too big even some times up to 60-70 GB at a limited sized hard drive. I can't delete them time to time manually. Can someone
please suggest a way using which I can stop creation of such error logs or recycle them after sometime. Most of the errors are of this kind --
Setting database option RECOVERY to simple for database db_name
P.S.- I have read limiting error logs to 6 etc. But that didn't help. It will be best if you could suggest some method to disable these logs.

Hi Mohit11,
According to your description, your SQL Server error logs are growing too big to handle at a limited sized hard drive, and you want to know how to stop the generation of such error logs or recycle them after sometime automatically without restarting the
SQL Server, right?
As others mentioned above, we may not be able to disable SQL server error log generation. However we can recycle the error logs automatically by running the
sp_cycle_errorlog on a fixed schedule (i.e. every two weeks) using SQL agent jobs so that the error logs will be recycled
automatically without restarting SQL Server.
And it is also very important for us to keep the error log files more readable. So we can increase the number of error logs a little more and run the sp_cycle_errorlog more frequently (i.e. daily), then each file will in a smaller size to be more readable
and we can recycle the log files automatically.
In addition, in order to avoid the size of all the log files growing into a too big size unexpected (sometime it may happen), we can run the following query in SQL Agent job to automatically delete all the old log files when the size of log files is larger
than some value we want to keep (i.e. 30GB):
--create a tample table to gather the information of error log files
CREATE TABLE #ErrorLog
Archieve INT,
Dt DATETIME,
FileSize INT
GO
INSERT INTO #ErrorLog
EXEC xp_enumerrorlogs
GO
--delete all the old log files if the size of all the log files is larger than 30GB
DECLARE @i int = 1;
DECLARE @Log_number int;
DECLARE @Log_Max_Size int = 30*1024; --here is the max size (M) of all the error log files we want to keep, change the value according to your requirement
DECLARE @SQLSTR VARCHAR(1000);
SET @Log_number = (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM #ErrorLog);
IF (SELECT COUNT(FileSize/1024/1024) FROM #ErrorLog) >= @Log_Max_Size
BEGIN
WHILE @i <= @Log_number
BEGIN
SET @SQLSTR = 'DEL C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Log\ERRORLOG.' + CONVERT(VARCHAR,@i);
EXEC xp_cmdshell @SQLSTR;
SET @i =@i + 1;
END
END
DROP TABLE #ErrorLog

Slideshow issue - message "file too big"

I have 120 photos in my slideshow, around 350 MB only. But when trying to save on usb, message saying file is 7.3 GB (too big). After I took away a couple of pictures, it saved - final size is only 395 MB. How can 2 photos make that much difference in size! Is there a glitch with iphoto?

Then try export to the desktop first, and drag the movie to the USB.

I am having trouble with a video. I have tried to copy it to a flash drive because it is too big to fit on a DVD, it says it is too large for the volumes format. Please advise.

I have done many DVD's for seniors for graduation so I am familier with Imovie. I have just finished a projec that is a combination of video, music and stills. I shared it through idvd. Now I can't burn it to a dvd because it is too large. It is too big even for a two sided disk. I have researched it and i find that blue ray would be big enough. Does apple offer blue ray burner? if so, what is the cost? I tried another route and took my external hard drive to copy it to a PC. there computer wouldn't recongize my drive. I am assuming it is because it is formated for apple. I tired copying it to a flash drive and and it says that it can't be copied because it is too large for the volume's format. Suggestions? PLEASE!!!!!

Could the video be too big because of using too high a resolution? 480p is sufficient for a DVD. the thread at:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5868958?tstart=30
may be of help.
Apple does not support Blue ray - you have to use a thrid party application like Toast.
To transfer the video to a PC you need a FAT-formatted hard drive (or of course a sufficiently big memory stick).
You could also go via a network, via the cloud (eg Dropbox) or with 'Wetransfer" or similar.

TEMP too big

Hey all,
My temp tablespace has grown too big (19Gb after I ran a particularly bad cart. join). I can't figure out how to get it cleaned up and I'd like my disk back. I've modified the max through OEM, but now it just shows that I'm using more than the max. Tried shutting down and restarting the service and the machine with no luck. How can I get SMON to do his job?
Win2K Pro
Oracle Database 10g Release 10.1.0.2.0
As always, thanks,
Pete

There's no automatic shrinking of temporary tablespace, Oracle says, this is a feature, not a bug. The workaround is : Create a new temporary tablespace with smaller size:
SQL> create temporary tablespace TEMP1 tempfile 'c:\temp01.dbf' size 100M extent management
local uniform size 128K;
-- Set new tablespace as default temporary tablespace for all users in database.
SQL> alter user <username> temporary tablespace TEMP1;
If you have a large number of users, the following SQL can be used to generate the code to change them all.
SQL> select 'alter user '||username||' temporary tablespace TEMP1;'
from dba_users;
-- Drop the old tablespace.
SQL> drop tablespace temp including contents.

I have Lion, and I can't see my unread messages count in the dock, even after the preferences set up. I find the Lion Mail too complicated. Leopard was much easier and more simple to use. I only have one account& don't need all the rest. any suggestions

I've exported my pages graphics document as a PDF file and can't seem to reduce the file size without compromising the quality of the photo's used even after choosing "best" quality. I'm trying to send the file via e-mail but it's too big. ??????

I am trying to e-mail a graphics pages document I made as a PDF file. After trying to resize the file, the photo's quality is compromised (really blurry) even after choosing "Best" quality. What am I doing wrong. As a regular full sized file (PDF) it's fine, but when it gets reduced, it's bad and it needs to get printed from the e-mail copy I'm trying to send. HELP! Please.

If there are a lot and/or large images the file will inevitably be large, no matter what.
You can reduce them down as far as possible by cropping and scaling them to the final size before creating the pdf. You can do this by opening the images in Preview .app and using Menu > Tools to reduce the resolution and to crop.
If you have used transparency effects eg shadow, reflection, transparency, 3D charts, OSX will by default render these at 72dpi in the pdf.

Scaled a movie, after pics are too big.

I've created a Slideshow and resized my pictures to suit the width of the timeline (1080W x 720H). Was hoping just to drag them onto new item and automatically scale the pics but this resulted in a black line along the widths; which displeased me.
So my pics are fantastic and the Slideshow is to the beat of the music. I then added a video to the timeline, and I had to scale accordingly.
So I managed to get the video fixed and everything's running great up until the video ends. I then import my new pics and they are far too big.
I have a keyframe right at the end of the movie, but the pics are then far too big.
I'm missing something really small. I am of course able to scale the remaining images down, but I have quite a few more to bring in and would rather learn what's causing this beast?
I finished my previous video, incase you guys have any comments or suggestions to improve

while i agree it would be a nice feature, you have to remember, you're re-purposing GB, your use is not the one for which it was designed; one song per project.
you can always send Apple a feature request with the Feedback menuItem (under the GaageBand menu) to let them know

I am doing a cover for O.M.G. by usher and it requires 4 to 5 different vocal layers. My first "line" of vocals keeps disappearing even after i save it. So I have to redo everything on the top line. Any help?

For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices.
That all works.
It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now. They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
Thanks for listening,
Melissa

A barcode scanner that was connected directly to the Mac's USB port stopped working as the "USB had too much power drawn", even though it has worked for over a year in that port. WHen we plugged it into the port on the keyboard, the device works. Why?

A barcode scanner that was connected directly to the Mac's USB port stopped working as the "USB had too much power drawn", even though it has worked for over a year in that port. When we plugged it into the port on the keyboard, the device works. Why? Obviously the device is operational. Could the USB port have burned out from having too much power drawn? If so, is it reparable?

It can't draw "too much" power, it can only draw as much as the USB port is able to provide and no more. IIRC, the keyboard port has a lower power output than the iMac's port.
That being said, yea, it's possible that the port has failed and it can be replaced or if another port works you can use that one. Although if it is still under warranty or covered by Apple Care, then I would take it to an Apple Store or service provider to get the port repaired.
