CatalogData folder too big on passive server in DAG

I have a two Exchange 2010 server DAG. One is active and the other is mounted but passive.
On at least two of the replicated and mounted databases on the passive server, the CatalogData folder is too big.
I noticed inside of them, they have old .ci and .dir files from last year.....really long ago and I need to get rid of them.
Can I delete them safely without affecting the DAG and/or replication?
What is the best way to do this on the passive server without affecting any mail flow or the DAG?

Simply stop the Exchange Indexing service on the server and delete the catalog folder and restart the indexing service. Or update-mailboxdatabasecopy (ServerCopy) -catalogonly

Burn to DVD folder - too big to burn to DVD - Options please?

I burned a large project to a DVD folder as PAL. I was able to burn that folder (VIDEO_TS) to a DVD using Nero without a problem.
I then needed an NTSC version. I burned the same project to a folder as NTSC. I don't remember seeing any warning messages.
When I tried burning the NTSC folder to a DVD with Nero, Nero complained it was too big to fit on the DVD. I imagine the over-sized burn is because of the higher frame rate of NTSC (30 vs 25).
Question is: What are my options? I prefer not to use dual layer DVD's, and I prefer to burn to folder out of PE4 then use Nero or other to burn the actual DVD. I also don't want to cut out any of my source clips.
I should say that I'm not overly concerned about final quality, so if I can simply use a lower bitrate or whatever, where is the best place to set that?
(Edit) - Note that I had the check box checked that says "Fit Contents to Available Space", and it suggested 4.38Gb required. Did this not work because it is perhaps impossible for PE4 to forcast the exact requirement??
Thanks,
Dave

Dave JM,
If you took your project on the Timeline, sent it to Share, Disk and were in the DVD Burn area with the Burn to = Folder (4.7)....
1. You did change the preset from DV PAL to DV NTSC?
2. After you did that, you did have checked "Fit Contents To Available Space" and then said that it said 4.3 GB space required. Equally important, what was the Bitrate after it said 4.3 GB space required? I would like to know just how much lower it was than the High value 8.
3. You say that you did not get any warning, such as one related to Data Rate??
Also, when you made the Presets switch from DV PAL to DV NTSC, did you see any change in the Space Required and/or Bitrate that was shown in the Burn Area?
If you did not, might it not be reasonable to look into the Nero Burn Video Files route more closely? I am just speculating that Nero Burn Video Files route might have different space required criteria?????
It is not clear to me why you would get the job done using PAL and not NTSC? I might suggest that you look at the PAL/NTSC bitrate comparison in Premiere Elements and, if indicated, lower the NTSC bitrate to reduce the space required to one that works for Nero. The Quality is going to suffer. By lower, I mean the smallest possible changes to reach the goal.
I know that you do not want to, but have you tried the Burn to Disc route for this NTSC project, just to see if it would work at all?

Folder too big for DVD

If I try to Share - Burn a DVD of a folder and the size of the folder is larger than the capacity of the DVD, will it share it over several DVD's? Basically, we've had family visit who have taken photos and now I'm trying to burn them to a DVD for them.

Terence,
Correct. It's only a replacement for the 'burn' part, when one's files exceed the capacity of a DVD.
I should use the shareware 'FileJuicer' to extract originals from an iPhoto Library; but, lacking that, one could try using a 'Smartfolder' to assist, unless the photos to burn must be selected individually.
Having iPhoto 5, I prefer to automatically move my photos using 'Image Capture' from my camera to 'Pictures', which is adjusted to the largest icon size, to preview them. I edit duplicates using the least difficult editor needed for the photo, then move one 'shoot' to a folder appropriately named. I have a text document with paragraphs of common keywords that I select, drag, & edit to the EXIF data in Preview (or later, in iPhoto); then I drag the happy folder to iPhoto. Because JPEGs are already compressed, I can archive 'Pictures' regularly (without its iPhoto Library) to optical media for relatives who have Linux or Windows.
iPhoto's greatest asset, to me, is its ability to fit many photos on a letter-sized piece of photo paper and print to paper well. (The photo canisters are cute, though.)

HT1766 MobileSync folder too big, can I delete?

If I switch my iPad backing up to iCloud, does that free up internal drive space?

No, I don't need these files for troubleshooting. Thank you gentlemen for your responses.

Blu-ray says capacity too big when burning DVD Rom Folder Encore CS4

I have tried 3 times now to burn a Blu-ray Image file with a DVD rom Content Folder. The Blu-ray Image size is 45.90gb and the content folder is 1.6gb. The disk is a Sony DL 50gb Blu-ray. I have not tried to burn direct to disk because cost of Blu-rays. I am using Encore CS4. Is it that you cannot make an image file with DVD-rom for DL Blu-rays. Is there a number preset by Adobe for image file size for DL Blu-ray. Please help

45.90 GB on your hard drive and 1.6 GB on your hard drive add up to 47.60 GB.
In computer GB, (47.60 x 2^30) that's over 51 billion bytes. Sony and other blank media manufacturers report the capacity of their blank discs in normal GB (50 x 10^9), or 50 billion bytes.
Your project is too big to fit on the blank media that you have.

TS3276 server says file too big to send-file says 33MB server says 44MB

I cannot send a short video which is 33.1 MB in the description but the server won't process as it claims the file is too big(44MB) and it can handle only 41MB.
I've tried to compress it but still reads as "too big to send"

You seem focused on the difference between 33 megabytes binary and a 44 megabytes transfer — the messages have to be encoded as SMTP mail was never intended as a binary transfer mechanism — mail servers transfer printable text messages — and the text-encoded attached binary files are inherently going to be larger than the original files.
You're going to have to raise the mail server limits (which requires administrative access to the mail server), or find an alternate means of transferring the file — mail servers aren't very efficient at large transfers, large files tend to blow out mail server storage quotas, and blow out mail files. Or chunk up the file into smaller files, send the chunks independently, and then concatenate the file remotely. (There are tools around to do this — at the command line, have a look at the zipsplit tool — but I'd generally discourage this approach as it adds effort and complexity to the process.)
The usual approach is a file transfer service. Dropbox or SpiderOak or some other file hosting or file transfer service are the most common approaches here, and are also more efficient than the overhead involved with large attachments sent via a mail server. Many of these file-hosting services offer more than enough storage here, and often as part of a free service tier.
Some folks can and do run their own file-hosting services, but that generally involves configuring and managing a server system and the associated network connections.

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

I need some advice about the macbook pro and iPhone 5.
I took a video on my iPhone and tried to email it it said it was too big to send? So i downloaded it to my macbook pro and tried to mail it to no avail? The macbook tells me the server won't let it through other mail goes through any ideas how to resize it or what it might take to send it?

I agree with LowLister, the best option for you to share the video online is to upload it to your online storage account for example : Box, Dropbox, SkyDrive (All of them provide free storage beginning from 2GB).
You can upload the files which you want to share in this online storage and then they have sharing options in which you'll will get the link of the file to be sent and send the email. You're good to go!
Tip : You can store multiple files for backup purposes.

HT2500 I had sent an email that was too big to go. It keeps popping into my "Recovered Messages folder I empty my "Recovered Messages"& it comes Back & its blocking all my incoming emails

First, you need to show folders and files which are normally invisible. To do this, open Terminal in Utilities and copy/paste
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool true
Hit return, then copy/paste
killall Finder
and hit return again.
Next hit Cmd-Shift-G and enter ~/Library/Mail and hit return
Open the triangle next to Mail and look for a file named
.OfflineCache file
and move it to the Trash. If this file exists, doing this will probably fix the problem.
You will need to reverse the show hidden command by just adding false to it, instead of true and them killall Finder again.

Too big a file for server

I've got a .wav file that's too big to email.
Is there a way to reduce the file so that I can email it?

Control-click it in the Finder, compress or archive it, and email the resulting zip. If it's still too large, use a service such as this one or an IM service to send it.

Mail attachment was too big now that account is frozen

I have two Accounts set up in Mail.app. One business, one personal via AOL. Comcast is my ISP. Attachments are limited to around 10-20 MB.
I tried to send an attached 5 MB Folder that I thought contained five 1 MB video clips. When that didn't work, I split the contents into 5 separate e-mails. When that didn't work, I noticed that these were all the actual sizes were GB not MB so I knew they were way too big to go as attachments. However, Mail kept trying to send them. Now, the personal account just spins but occasionally, new, outgoing mail will work.
Based on suggestions in this Forum, here is what I have done for troubleshooting so far:
Deleted the messages from the Outbox
Deleted the messages from the Drafts mailbox
In Mail Preferences, I deselected "Store Drafts on the Server." (My guess was not only was Mail trying to send the messages, it was also trying to store a draft of each message.)
I forced quit Mail and went to ~/Library/Mail and deleted any copies of either the Message or the Attachment that I could find including those in the Outbox, Saved, and Recovered mailboxes/folders. (I sorted the various folders by size making it fairly easy to find these large attachments and found the individual messages by the created date.)
I can retrieve my AOL Mail by going to their website but I still cannot get my AOL Account to work in Mail.app.
What do I do next? Should I just delete the Account and recreate it? Can I do this without losing old saved messages? Note, everything is backed up by Time Machine.

Hi,
When you select, New message ... is the window as big as your screen??
If this is the case, try to drag the window smaller and try again to attach any file you like in the message.
Is the drop down window smaller now?? if this is the case then drag the drop down wind to the size you like. On your right hand at the bottom you can drag it to the size you want.
Post back with the results ...

When doing a second "Organize Library" cuz the first was too big, will iTunes recognize what's already copied over?

I'm stuck with a large folder of music on my PC in My Music folder. And I used "Organize Library" in iTunes but it didn't copy everything over because the amount of music was too big. I've deleted the original copies of music outside of iTunes to open up more space and was wondering if I do a second "Organize Library" if it will recognize that some of the music has already been copied over.

I don't know what "restore the iPod" is
It's usually the second thing to do (after Reset) when the iPod is not working correctly.
Select the iPod in iTunes and click Restore.
See this -> Restoring iPod to factory settings
what about my main question? Can I go back to "sync all" but manually block certain albums?
No because sync all is just that.
Sycning specific playlists should work fine. And you can create more than one and sync which ones you want.

I have my iTunes library on an external HD because it is too big for my iMAC 500GB HD. I want to backup my external HD. Can I do this with any Apple cloud product or should I look elsewhere? Also is it worth just buying another external HD to back up

I have my iTunes library on an external HD because it is too big for my iMAC 500GB HD. However, it is not backed up, so I need a solution to backup my external HD. Can I do this with any Apple cloud product or should I look elsewhere for cloud products? Will it be cheaper/easier just to buy another external HD to back up my existing external HD? Thanks

I don't know if this is me adding files to iTunes when the external wasn't connected
it is.
is it OK to just keep deleting that library on the Air?
i wouldn't - at least not until i
mount the external
point iTunes media folder location back to the external via preferences > advanced
consolidate my library via file > library > organize library
The ntfs hasn't seem to be causing any problems, but I've always wanted to know.
in order for your Mac to write to NTFS drives, it needs some help by installing e.g. the NTFS 3G driver. apparently that or something similar is installed on your Mac already. preferably, it would be formatted for Mac but then windows machines would need to have e.g. MacDrive installed to recognize the drive.

Itunes is too big for my laptop, i moved it to an external hard drive and now it's lost

My laptop was too slow and the hard drive was full so I added memory and it was still too full. I bought an external hard drive and tried moving my itunes to it. But now itunes can't find any of my music. I tried moving the entire itunes folder onto the external hard drive and still itunes can't find it. I tried moving everything back to the laptop - but it won't accept the file because its too big. Help!

iPods don't look for the library. iTunes does.
I recently moved my itunes music folder
Don't move your music folder.
Let iTunes do it.
Point iTunes prefs to the location where you wan tit.
Then go to menu Advanced -> *Consolidate library*.
This will copy the iTunes music folder to the location in iTunes prefs.

Java.lang.exception: word is too big

Hi everybody!
I have a problem need your help. At present I have a server-client application, server running on Linux enviroment, client running on Window enviroment. After a period of time, there is a exception thrown to console: java.lang.Exception: word is too big, try to use less letter ..... And at that time, no more client can connect to client, however clients which connected to server from before still run as normal. Please help to fix this. Thank you very much

I can not upload the source code here because it's so big. Before I have never ever met this error. Nearly I have a new server linux machine, and I run my program on this machine, as a result I have had this problem. I say I can catch this exception means I try to trace it by in catch and throw but nothing can be catched. And "word is too big, try to use less letters..." is not mine. I saw it in console. At first, I don't know why client can not connect to server, so I try to find out it in console mode and as you know I find out this exception. If anybody have ever met this error. Please explain it to me and help me to resolve it. Thanks
