Apps Taking Up Significantly More Space Than The Size of the App

I'm having an issue where the meter for my iPad registers a significantly higher hard drive usage to "Apps" than the apps file size in the list. It's showing 5.4 GB, when the total size of the apps installed is 240 MB. I do have VLC and two videos synced totallying .5 GB. I also have Kindle with four books installed. Generously that's 10 MB.
That's a 4 GB difference between what I can attribute and what iTunes says. Anyone have any ideas what could cause such a disparity?

I know that some note apps still have your notes in the data files after they are deleted. Paper Desk never completely deletes a note. I can see deleted notes in the transfer section in iTunes. I wish they had a way of wiping those files clean. What I do is I delete the app and then re- install it after I save the notes I want to keep. I'm not happy with this problem. I'm sure other apps have the same problem.

OLAP taking 5 time more space than RDBMS?

Hello,
I have been investigating Oracle's OLAP capabilities for about 2 weeks now in an effort to determine whether OLAP would be a feasible solution for my company's data warehousing needs.
I have created an extremely simple analytic workspace that is based on a single relational fact table. The fact table contains both the dimension values (integers) and the measuers (floats). There are a total of about 300,000 dimension values all of which reference measures (the data is perfectly dense).
I created a dimension and a data cube using the Enterprise Manager OLAP interface. Next, I created the analytic workspace using the Analytic Workspace Manager wizard. This AW building step took an extraordinary amount of time considering the simplicity of the data. In fact, I started it on a Friday afternoon, monitored it for about 2 hours, and it still hadn't finished, so I let it run over the weekend (for this reason, I am not sure how much time exactly it took, but it's definitely quite a few hours). Is this normal? Copying the relational table takes 10 seconds, and I find it hard to believe that building an AW with the same data would take so much time.
Finally, coming back on Monday I see that the AW was created successfully. I went into the tablespace map to look at how big the binary blob is. To my great surprise, the AW was taking up about 5 times more extents than my relational table (contrary to what I've read so far about OLAP and its supposedly very storage-efficient data cubes).
I was wondering if anybody could advise me on what I could have done wrong and/or inefficiently? Am I missing something here, or is OLAP really consuming much more space comapred to relational tables?
Thanks!

Gotcha.
Well, here are a few ideas:
1) There is a bug in the 9i OLAP where dimension loads take WAY too long. I have a dimension with approx 77,000 members. On 9i, it took hours to load. On 10g 10.1.0.3 it loads in under 1 minute. You might want to open a TAR, the bug was something about one of the patch sets not being applied right
2) From a space standpoing, I wouldn't worry about this too much. When the AW wizard creates an "empty" workspace, it already has lots of items in it that support the metadata, etc. Also, there is the concept of "free pages" that get allocated but end up not being used (they are "temp")
To check this out, attach your AW and then fire up the OLAP worksheet. To see "free" pages vs. "used" pages, do the following:
show aw(pages)
show aw(freepages)
One last thing you can do, to see the size of all items in the AW:
attach AWname ro first
limit name to all
sort name d obj(disksize)
rpr w 40 obj(disksize)
This will show the "relative" size of the items, I think in "pages" (to see how big a page is just do a
show aw(pagesize)
Hope this helps!

IPhoto library takes more space than the actual data that is in it.

Why is iPhoto Library taking almost 10 GB more than the real data i have in it ?

I have the original photos in a folder and it takes 10.7 GB of space in my hard drive, but when I get info from the iPhoto library its taking 17.9 GB of space
Do you have two copies of the photos on the HD? Why?
I have read that every single move I do in iPhoto it makes a copy of the file for backup no matter how big the photo is, even if you just rotate the picture,
When you edit a pic - including Rotation - iPhoto makes a copy of the Original and carries out the edit on that copy and saves it. However, if you then make another edit it does not make a second copy, it simply destroys the first copy and applies the total edits to a new copy. So there is never more than your Original and a single Modified version of your pics.
that’s just taking so much space I need is there any way to make iPhoto stop doing that?
No. If you don't want that, simply don't use iPhoto. IPhoto is a Digital Asset Manager and it coheres to the best practices of DAM by treating your original file like a film photographer protects his negative.
Also when look in the finder and search for every file I have used during the day, if I had just open iPhoto once it will apper a lot of this files called like Album.999001.ipmeta that are from iphot. If I haven used it just opened it why is it showing that ?
This is just the way that iPhoto works. These ipmeta files are tiny 4kb files. They take up the smallest amount of disk space possible.

Time Machine backup requires significantly more space than size of hard drive + external

I can't seem to figure out what is going on here. I recently purchased a new Macbook Pro with a 1T SSD hard drive, upgrading from an older MB Pro with a 500 GB hard drive. In the past I've used Time Machine to back up my hard drive and an external hard drive with RAW format photos and video footage that totals 441.56 GB. My internal internal hard drive currently is 487 GB, and I've used a 1TB time machine back up without problem to date.
I used Time Machine to install on the new system and it worked flawlessly, except that the Time Machine backups wouldn't continue. Time Machine--even when left overnight--would get hung up on Preparing Files to Back Up. So, I reformatted the Time Machine disk (lost the old backups) and attempted to back up from scratch. I then got a message that I need 3.37 TB to complete my new Time Machine back up, though the total size of the back up on disk is ~930 GB. I've read that Time Machine needs 20% - 30% overhead on disk to work well, but I can't figure out why it would require 3x the back up size. I'm hesitant to purchase a new 4 TB external hard drive as I suspect this is a software issue. I've tried reformatting the disk twice more (three total), rebooting my computer, etc. but I keep getting the 3.37 TB message. I'm operating Mavericks OS 10.9.4.
I would be grateful for insight on this.
Best,
Alex

Hi Linc, thanks for taking a look at this problem. I just reinitiated a backup to make sure it's most up-to-date. Without the external hard drive, I was able to complete a simple backup. After plugging the external in again, here's the log I got:

Music Taking Up way more Space than before. What is the best file format?

I just bought a new Mac Book, and have been importing most of my CD collection into I-tunes to put on my Ipod Video. The Default in iTunes seems to be import using AAC Encoder at a setting of High Quality 128kbps.
However, I only have 2800 songs in my library at the moment andit is using 17 gb of Hard drive space on my computer and my Ipod. Also all songs came in as MP4 format.
Before getting this new computer, I had the same amount of songs and it used about half of that.
I have 3 questions.
1.) What is the best format to cut the amount of space used, but still have a high quality sound.
2.) Is there a way to convert what is in the library to another format such as mp3.
3.) is this going to require me to save my Itunes folder to an external drive, delete the library,and then drag all back in to itunes after changing the preference setting? What is the best way to do this?
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I only have 2800 songs in my library at the moment andit is using 17 gb of
Maybe a bit high.
I have ~2500 songs at 12 GB. I’m using 160 kbps - AAC.
1.) What is the best format to cut the amount of space used, but still have a high quality sound.
AAC - 128 kbps. This is the default for iTunes and offers a very good compromise between size and quality.
To me, AAC 128 kbps is at least as good as MP3 160 kbps and the AAC would be 1/3 less the size.
2.) Is there a way to convert what is in the library to another format such as mp3.
Yeah, buit you don;t really want to do it that way as you will lose further quality.
AAC is a lossy format and when you converted it the first time, you lose quality. If you reconvert that to MP3, you will lose further quality.
3.) is this going to require me to save my Itunes folder to an external drive, delete the library,and then drag all back in to itunes after changing the preference setting?
No.

Movie taking up more space than the size

Hello. I published a movie in imovie to the media gallery in HD. It is a long video, so I knew it would take up a lot of space. It is listed as 5 GB in my imovie project folder. However, when I "show package contents" of the movie, the actual size of the 720 movie is only 1.3 gb. All of the other folders listed in the contents are just a few MB. Any idea why this is using 5gb of not only my hard drive, but of my Mobile Me space, when it seems like the video should only be using 1.5 GB.
You can see the video here, but obviously it takes some time to buffer.
Thanks.

It is 99.92 MB's in file size.

Is it possible to gain more space than the files deleted on a mac?

I am on a macbook pro running 10.5.8
Basically my mac reported about 70MB of hard drive space left when it stop me from downloading a app so I backup some files to a external drive before deleting it. All was fine until I realized that my mac reported about 15GB of free space but my backup only show around 10GB. Thinking back, I should have match the file size beforehand but I am Pretty Sure all the files were on the backup before I deleted it but since the math does not add up, I am now double guessing myself that maybe i deleted something else that was not meant to be.
So is it possible that the mac also deleted some hidden files that counted toward that extra 5GB or maybe somehow those 5GB was just unaccounted for like some sort of glitch until I emptied the trash? The feeling of uncertainty has been stressing me out and the events leading to me pressing the emptied trash button keep replaying in my head to find a reasoning behind it. I want to just trust myself but the extra free space bothers me. Hopefully, it is not because of the external drive failing to copied all the files.
As far as I know, the mac does not keep a log of what or when files were deleted but it would have been something useful to have.
Any insight will be helpful and appreciated.
Oh, and i am pass the point of using a recovery software since the files are most likely overwritten by now.

I think you need to take a philosophical view: Your computer is working,you mave more storage space, enough to do your download. Whatever is deleted is deleted, and you haven't missed it so maybe it wasn't that important - if it was there at all.

Return value from database function taking a lot more time than the query

Hi guys,
I have a Query that does a call to a database function. The function takes in a few parameters and returns a Date. Now, the query within the function takes barely .05 seconds. However, doing a select get_join_dates from dual is taking almost 6 seconds for each call.
Here is the Query:
select s.student_id, s.student_name, s.organization_code
from   student s
where s.student_id = :p_student_id
and    s.student_enrollment_date = get_join_dates( :p_year,
                                                   :p_month,
                                                   :p_student_id,
                                                   s.organization_code );And here is the database function. The select inside this function barely takes 0.05 seconds per call. This function gets called 3 times in my case as there are 3 records in the org_body table for this student.
create or replace function
get_join_dates( p_yyyy in org_body.fiscal_yyyy%type,
                       p_month in org_body.fiscal_mm%type,
                       p_student_id in student.student_id%type,
                       p_organization_code in org_body.organization_code%type) return date as
    t_enrollment_date date;
    cursor cur_latest_enrollment_date is
      select max(enrollment_date)
      from   org_body
      where fiscal_yyyy = p_yyyy
      and    fiscal_mm = p_month
      and    student_id = p_student_id
      and    organization_code = p_organization_code;
BEGIN
    open cur_latest_enrollment_date ;
    fetch cur_latest_enrollment_date into t_enrollment_date;
    close cur_latest_enrollment_date ;
    return t_enrollment_date;
exception
    when others then
      null;
end;owever, when I run the following statement below, it takes close to 6 seconds to retrieve a record. In turn, my Query is becoming really slow and taking almost 35 seconds. Imagine that with more records.
select get_join_dates( 2010, '01', '2167543', 'PSYCH01' ) from dual;If I run my query with this condition below, it takes 0.5 seconds.
select s.student_id, s.student_name, s.organization_code
from   student s
where s.student_id = :p_student_id
and      s.student_enrollment_date = '01-JAN-10'Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Any reason why you are doing this with the stored function?
You could just do this with SQL. Embed the query in the function as a subquery in your initial query from STUDENT.
select s.student_id, s.student_name, s.organization_code
from   student s
where s.student_id = :p_student_id
and    s.student_enrollment_date =
(select max(enrollment_date)
      from   org_body
      where fiscal_yyyy = :p_year
      and    fiscal_mm = :p_month
      and    student_id = s.student_id
      and    organization_code = s.organization_code);Why your function is not performing: I cannot say that with the information you have provided.
Maybe sqltrace a call and see what the reason is.

Mac OS X 10.6.3 Update says it needs much more space than the download size

I used the combo update it weighed in at 784MB
Software update is that delta? said i think I needed 744MB
Ok here is the thingy when I installed the combo after clicking the disc image and agree to all licencing etc stuff it asked destination etc it said that 1.47 GB will be installed I thought the file was 784MB
Is this normal?

I am not using mobile me, because I designed a website specifically to show my videos, and this way I can send out one page at a time without people having access to the entire gallery.
I would rather not compress the videos, as wouldn't this take some quality away.All I did was choose the "large" option on iweb
But the strange part is, why is the video listed as 5GB in size, but when I open up the contents (show file contents", I see that the actual movie is only 1-2 GB in size?
Thanks

Can anyone help. I have a two 1TB external hard drives one backs the other up. Until now it has been fine but suddenly time machine has decided theres not enough room even though there the same size drives. Ive deleted the backup drive and the time machine preferences but it still wont work. I have one drive with 930GB on and time machine says it needs 1.1TB of space. Why dose it need an extra 170GB. Help?
Thanks

Since Time Machine keeps copies of previous versions of things you've changed or deleted, it needs much more space than the data it's backing-up.
The extra 170 GB is for "padding" -- workspace on the backup volume, and in case the original estimate isn't accurate, or more files are changed or added while the backup is running.
#1 in the link Carolyn supplied explains this a bit more, and recomends that your backup drive be 2-3 times the size of the data it's backing-up.

Movie files take up more space than they should

Hi! I'm new to iDVD, and I wanted to take about 20 .mp4 files and put them on a DVD that a DVD player hooked to my TV will be able to read. The combined size of all the files is under 4GB and will fit on a burnable DVD. But when I drag them into iDVD, it only lets me have like 5 before it says it is full. Why is this happening? Why should the video take up more space than the file's actual size? If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it!

iDVD works on time and NOT on RAW file size!!
All video is converted to MPG-2 by the encoding process in iDVD. With a single layer disc, you can get UP TO 60 minutes of content in Best Performance mode and UP TO 120 minutes in Best Quality mode.

Why are my apps taking up more space than what the appstore says they will? Like were talking a full GB more than what it should.

Why are my apps taking up more space than what the appstore says they will? Like were talking a half a GB more than what it should.
For example the app Modern Combat 4 says it should only be 1.58 GB on the appstore but when i go into settings>general>usage it says it takes up 2.0 GB.
Ive tried deleting the apps and then reinstalling them but they still take up so much more space.
This happens for multiple apps of mine. Some I have never even opened before.
I have an ipod touch (4th Gen)(32GB).
I link to a mac computer.
I have IOS version 6.1.3
I noticed this a long time ago but didnt need the space, Now i need the space!!
Please help!!

Because you see the file size of the compuressed file. The file gets expanded when installed and that takes up more space. Also, data is kept in the app.

Layout taking more space than necessary...

Hi folks...my applet has two panels inside it arranged in a flowlayout. The first panel is a 5 row x 1 col gridlayout, and the second is working fine. The problem with the first one is that that it is taking more space than necessary and going out the bottom of the applet. Now if I do this in appletviewer, resizing the window by a few pixels will make it relayout the panel and everything looks fine, but of course you can't ask people to do that =) What's the problem here? I've tried validating both the applet and the problem panel, and tried invalidating it first. Any ideas? thanks!

Here is the first half of it...it has all the relevant info. I took out the validate stuff 'cause it wasn't helping.

Saving a book as PDF takes significantly more time when the file binary *.fm rater than *.mif?

Is it possible, that saving a book (with FrameMaker 10) as PDF takes significantly more time when the file is formatted in the binary *.fm rather than the *.mif format?
We have books (+160p) that take about 20 min to be saved as PDF, whereas the same book in MIF format can be saved as PDF within about 4 minutes. Is this a known issue?
Or could that be a problem with our books?
Does anyone know how to speed up the process (how to tweak) or are there any special adjustments in the books or documents that might slowdown the process of saving them as PDF?
The distiller seems not to be the problem. The distiller takes equally long for both formats.
best regards

Strikes me as peculiar. I would expect that FM is rendering from the data structures in memory, which I would expect to be essentially identical whether originally opened as .fm or .mif.
If return-to-UI time is important, the fastest path is:
print to local .ps file
Distill separately.
And it sounds like you have the full Acrobat product, and thus have full Distiller.
I don't have sufficient experience with Print-to-PDF vs. Save-as-PDF to opine on potential time differences for those paths.
