DISK CACHE taking over computers

We have a facility of probably 50 macs running CC.
We have about 10 of them consitently using AE. It seems that AE is eating up all the disk space.
Whenever a different person gets on the computer they log in with there own account. So we can have up to 20 different people using the same computer. AE seems to store all the disk cache by default in the users folders. That means every user is getting 90gbs of disk cache. Therefore 1 TB gets eaten up very fast. And no one can go in and empty the disk cache for someone else cause they don't ahve their passwords.
Is there a way to tell AE where to store its disk cache by default. That way when a new person starts to work there and log in for the first time they don't have to go and tell where to put the disk cache? Also is there a way to change the default size of disk cache?

You would have to edit the relevant part of the prefs, which could easily be done with a 5 line script using the app.settings.saveSetting() method and adressing the relevant cache stuff. By handing the script over as a command line parameter, you could reset this setting every time on program launch even if the user has changed it. And naturally with a few extras you could make this even smarter...

Is After Effects CC disk cache taking up double the space on my RAID 0 SSD? Should I move it?

In AE CC the available space on my RAID 0 (2 x 120GB SSD) drive drops from 100GB to around 40GB as soon as I do even a small RAM preview and even though I have set the disk cache in the preferences to 30GB. It also causes AE to prompt that I may not have enough space on the drive for the amount of cache I have set in preferences even though there appears to be 40GB left on it.
I really value working with long fast RAM previews but other than that I'm not sure if the performance is jeopardised at all here. At one point I was enjoying 60GB of disk cache.
RAID 0 is striped so it shouldn't take up double the space, am I right?
I am about to install a RAID 0 HDD (2 x 3TB) for source files as I work with video a lot and have a 4K RAW project on the go so no time like the present. So should I move the disk cache from the ridiculously fast RAID 0 SSD to the new RAID HDD drive (as suggested in Harm's guide)?

Thank you Mylenium. All this time I have been absolutely convinced that you don't need to defragment SSDs. Is this a complete misunderstanding? Even if you do though, I have Windows 8 (not 8.1) which is doing that once a week automatically (apparently even to SSDs).
Are you saying that the 30GB disk cache set up works like a contiguous file?
i7 3930k (12 virtual cores) on P9X79 Deluxe
2 x 120GB Force GT Raid 0 SSD on SATA 6gb/s is my boot drive as well as where I keep programs and the disk cache. I do a disk clean up to remove temp files a couple of times a week but that's all.
1 x 3TB Barracuda on on SATA 6gb/s for back ups and exports
3TB Lacie on USB 3 for source video and project files
2TB Lacie on USB 3 for archive projects
660ti 2GB
I'll try a manual defrag of my RAID 0 SSDs now.

Has anyone heard of "UTH Computers" scamming and taking over control of your computer?

Has anyone heard of "UTH Computers" scamming and calling you and then taking over your computer?
Sorry, I don't know where else to post this question…...

What damage do you think they did?
If you gave them your credit card number, call your bank and explain what happened.
Then have them issue a new credit card number and never give it out again.
Did you give them your login credentials? If so, changed your password now!
Did some kind of software get installed on your Mac (not possible unless you authorized it)?

Disk caching on host or guest?

OK, this is probably a noob question, but if we have 64GB RAM on our HyperV (2008R2) host, and we are running disk intensive software, do we:
a) Allocate the 'minimum' RAM to the guest, and leave the rest for the host to use for disk caching, or
b) Allocate the maximum RAM to the guest (leaving 1GB for the host), and let the guest use it for disk caching?
Allocating half & half would seem to be a waste as they will probably both end up caching the same data (will they?), but it's not clear whether we're best letting the host or the guest do the caching. Or does it actually matter at all?
I've had a good look around and haven't been able to find any relevant recommendations.
More Info - the 'disk intensive' software is mainly a PostgreSQL server. We'll give that about 8GB for its shared buffers, but it seems to be recommended to use OS disk caching beyond that. There is a 1GB BBWC P420i RAID controller so write caching is performed
on that. Currently, our biggest performance bottleneck seems to be due to uncached reads, so we are increasing the host RAM from 16GB to 64GB (and adding an SSD for index storage), but just want to know whether it's best to increase the guest RAM allocation,
or leave it 'spare' on the host.

With Windows Server 2008 R2 / Hyper-V 2.0 you don't have that many options as VHD access is not cached by host. At all... So you'd better allocate move VM memory as I/O would be cached inside a VM. Windows Server 2012 R2 / Hyper-V 3.0 would give you more
caching options that include Read-Only CSV Cache, Flash-based Write-Back Cache coming with Tiering and also SMB access is also extensively cached @ both client and server sides. See:
CSV Cache
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/clustering/archive/2013/07/19/10286676.aspx
Write Back Cache
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn387076.aspx
Hyper-V over SMB
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj134187.aspx
So it could be a good idea to upgrade to Windows Server 2012 R2 now :)
You may deploy third-party software to do a RAM and flash cache but you need to think twice as it could be simply dangerous - no reboot you may lose gigabytes of your transactions...
Hope this helped a bit :)

My backup to Time Capsule is taking over 4 million days. How can I shorten the time? I am not able to connect through ethernet. How do I fix this?

My backup to Time Capsule is taking over 4 million days. How can I shorten the time? I am not able to connect through ethernet. How do I fix this?
Not only that but my Mac Pro keep running and does not stop, my Address book has a blue light under it but wont open, the light for my monitor in the bottom right corner wont turn on or off. Please need help...

It sounds like there is an issue with the Mac itself.
Use the verify disk A5 in troubleshooting.
http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
Even if you cannot connect by ethernet, at current location.. you can simply disconnect the TC from the network and bring it to the Mac and plug it in by ethernet. The TC can be reset if you haven't got a suitable current setup (save previous setup before you change it) and run just as backup device.. do the backup and then return it to the network.
If this is just a standard incremental backup.. then something has broken. The issue is not the TC pe se but failure in hardware somewhere.

Best place to install After Effects, and best place to have AE Disk Cache

Hey, I have a new Samsung 840 EVO 250gb which I know I am already gonna install my OS on it, but not sure what to do with After Effects. I have heard it is good to have your Disk Cache on an SSD for better write performance, but should I have After Effects also installed on the SSD, or have AE installed on the Seagate Mechanical 1TB hard drive that I have now?
Thanks,
Jacob

I'd put the OS & application software on the hard drive. The reason: once launched, there aren't nearly as many read-write instances as there would be for an AE cache. You launch the OS... what, once a day? How about applications.... maybe 3-4 times a day?
On the other hand, when the AE cache is on the SSD, it it reads & writes to it all the time. That's where you want the real speed.
It might be nice to launch in the blink of an eye, but you're taking up valuable -- and pricey -- SSD real estate with OS & applications, things that aren't used all that often in comparison to the AE cache.

Time Machine taking over my external HD

Is there a way to stop Time Machine from taking over my external HD? I have a 1T for video and photos and previously used Retrospect for the backups. It doesn't do it automatically with the iMac Intel Processor (older version of Retrospect) so I thought Time Machine would be the answer (instead of upgrading Retrospect). However, I am not willing to give up my entire HD to Time Machine - I only want my documents backed up and then the changes to files backed up with the previous backup deleted. Is there any way to do this? I've already excluded all the apps, etc. and still end up with huge backups. And according to the info about Time Machine, it's going to keep taking over the HD until it is full!!! The Retrospect backups for the past 3 months are 3G for the original backup of documents and the current backup.
In 24 hours with Time Machine I already have 75G and counting!!!
Or do I just need to get a 2nd external HD with less memory and dedicate it to Time Machine?

Or do I just need to get a 2nd external HD with less memory and dedicate it to Time Machine?
Well, OP is considering this option, and it one way to go TM-dedicated TM external. Really their options depend on how much free space is present on their Mac internal and current external. Disk Utility erase/ partition options will reformat, quite obviously, but even if they have just one external available it is usually possible to backup video and other stored files to say DVD media while they reorganize/ reformat their backup drive.
Another choice is to turn TM off.
Due to the magic of shareware there are now third-party utilities that allow you to alter the frequency of Time Machine Back up.

Premiere Pro CC - Crash when opening because of network disk cache

I have had premiere fail to open for a while now on one of my secondary PC's. This computer was setup with a network drive as its disk cache/links to projects.
This is so multiple editors can work off the same RAID. Works perfectly, aside from the fact that windows somehow unlinked the network drive. Once this happened premiere fails to launch and crashes when starting the program.
I had got the network drive linked back up at one point and premiere launched again running with zero problems. Again windows messed up the network drive, and premiere again, does not work.
I need to reset the settings for premiere (the disk cache settings).
THINGS I'VE ALREADY TRIED:
I already tried holding Ctrl + Shift to reset, did not work.
I already tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but the settings were not removed and program keeps crashing.
I would just relink the network drive and then once premiere launches change the disk cache and never do that again, but sadly the computer will not relink to that partical drive.
Let me know if you need any more details,
I'm running windows 8, latest version of CC (just updated). I have 32gig Ram, I7 processor overclocked to 4.4GHz, Nvidia Graphics.
Thanks much

Hey there!
Well now your post is over one year old but recently I had the same problem.
Solution was what you were thinking: Redirect the path. But where??? I searched the registry and there you have it:
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Common 8.0\Media Cache
There's a key called FolderPath. Set that to a local drive and Premiere should start again.
btw adobe: that's really a bad bad bug or misbehaviour. if something is not working software should ask for another solution instead of just crash...

CS6 Disk Cache reporting as full when it's not

I put a 120GB Samsung Pro 840 Pro SSD on a Sonnet Tempo Card into my 4,1 Mac Pro to use a AE's Disk Cache, I set the disk cache to 100GB
Recently AE often reports that there is not enough available space on the drive for the cache when I start it up. When I look at the drive in the OS, it says there is over 100GB available and the cache folder is 10GB in size. A previous time the numbers were different but essentially the problem was the same - I should have a lot of free space but AE doesn't see it.
What the hell is going on?

That message does not say that the cache is full.
That message says that there is not enough room to safely store the amount of cache that you have specified.
So, the cache may only have 20GB in it now, but After Effects is telling you that if it fills to the full 100GB that you have specified, then you're going to run into problems.
This is meant as a polite forward-looking warning that you have set the total size of the folder too high for the amount of space that you have on your disk.
You should never fill a disk all the way full. You should always leave some free space. Opinions differ, but 20% is a good conservative amount to leave free.

MS Entourage taking over iCal

Hi Everyone,
Can someone advise as to how I remove Entourage from my list of calendars in iCal under "ON MY MAC". I haven't used Entourage for over 3 years now and this calendar keeps taking over iCal. It is causing issues with my creating calendar events and inviting people to the event. I have tried deleting Entourage from my list of calendars and it keeps reappearing.
Please help!
Thanks!

Welcome to Apple Discussions,
1. Turn off Entourage syncing within Entourage.
Make an iCal backup, File > Export > Archive.
Reset sync history: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iSync/3.1/en/9247.html
Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
__NOTE: Removing these files will remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
Once the computer is back up and running open iCal and test.
Hope that helps.

I am taking over someone else's MacBook Pro and I want to start fresh...

I am taking over someone else's MacBook Pro for the purpose of installing Final Cut on it.
I want to start fresh and erase everything they have off of their computer. I know I have to make sure they have all of their files off of it before I erase, but then what? Also, to reinstall the Apple software, do I need a disc or how do I do that? I don't remember my MacBook Pro coming with any install discs. Can someone please provide step-by-step instructions on how best to do this?
Thank you!

Erasing disks securely
If the computer came with discs - Start up from your install disc, go to Disk Utility and select the disk and click erase - to securely erase data click Security Options and Erase Free Space which will entirely wipe your disk, overwriting it with zeros so that no data is recoverable.

If you do then the disk cache is disabled because you aren't keeping the cache over a session.

Why is installing 3 applications from a creative cloud packager taking over an hour?

Dear Adobe community,
I am trying to install 3 Creative Cloud applications, (Illustrator, photoshop, and indesign) on a Windows 7 Hpz420 workstation from a USB hard drive and it is taking over an hour to complete. i created a package of the 3 applications using the CC packager and move the package over to a USB drive. Then I start the installer exe it runs and completes, but the installation takes over an hour and 1/2. My installation of Creative Suite 5.5 from a similar USB hard drive was much quicker, about 1/2 hour.
I don't want to use a remote installer like AAMEE. Is there a different way to create a package that is more efficient? I also don't want to redown the applications everytime I need to install them on a machine and utilize my network bandwidth.
Is this normal ? I have rebuilt the package with the same results and have installed CC on two different machines with the same results. I did not see anything in the forums about the installation being so slow so I am concern that I have missed something or that my results are not normal.
Your help is appreciated.
Mike

My "Gaming" computer (Toshiba Qosmio X-70A, w/ 32GB RAM, i7 Intel processors @2.7 Ghz, w/ 250GB SSD, 750GB high-speed 7,200 RPM primary & 1TB SSD/HD hybrid drive) was purchase specifically, by me, to learn & use the Adobe "Cloud" Apps with. This computer is a beast. <And - yet> it takes me days, literally <DAYs> to download all the apps I am using/studying.
I (last week) recently had my 1st "total meltdown" w/ Win 8.1-Pro (what a total P.O.S. "OS" this is!) & have faced the daunting task of re-installing ALL of the Adobe SW available over the "Creative Cloud". This will take days (w/ a direct DSL link to a Cat-6 cable; not on Wi-Fi) to "re-install" all the "Creative Cloud" software I was learning/working with. Insane. I have never seen anything like this!
So, "DLi" - I agree! Adobe's SW (& HW) Engineers don't give a stuff about your time nor mine.
The only things that are of importance to them are (#1 - "Keeping their jobs") ... metering out their "Creative Cloud" in a manner which allows them to investigate EVERY byte on your computer/server/device BEFORE allowing you to use it . . . (hmmm....I do wonder how many dollars per month that information is worth to the NSA / per seat)?) ... and making it "a nightmare" for the user.
What an insult!
What an horrific slap in the face to each & every one of Adobe's "Creative Cloud" paying customers! (Uhhhm, that'd be you and that'd be me, too).
