Downsizing images has taken up more space, why?

Macbook pro 15" mid 2009
Recently upgraded to Intel 520 240GB SSD drive.3
I had 23GB(approx) of available space. I had around 161GB (approx) of images folder to which I reduced it to 158GB (approx) after reducing the picture size for some of the images. However, instead of having more available space I now only have 20GB (approx) of available space. No files in trash.
Anyone knows why this happenned & what is the solution.
Thanks,
adi

Your math and the lack of details of how and why. I and others here generally recommend a 48GB minimum for Windows 7 64-bit.
If you don't control the page and hibernation file those alone can eat up twice your RAM or 16GB and up.
The core of Windows can take 22GB.
My systems generally use 34GB
run disk cleanup: system files. The install leaves behind a 1.2GB file and then run CCleaner regularly. You can clean out 4GB afterwards.
The partition needs about 10-12GB just for all the initial updates - Windows 7 is close to 3 yrs now and even SP1 was over a year ago. That temp space needs to be rhere and is just overhead
SSD will want 10GB for TRIM and Garbage Collection to perform properly.
60GB even for an SSD is $1/GB, even less for standard drives.
And then there are the people that need to use CampTune to resize their partition. Or someone that didn't plan and made it too small and cannot login after setup. Or didn't leave 20%/20GB or more for Mac HFS to function.

I am considering upgrading to lightroom 5. But first can I talk to someone to fix a major issue. My catalogue has disappeared and a new one without my chosen images has taken its place.I need to retrieve my original duplicate/ changed images?

Hi there,
I am considering up grading to lightroom 5. But first I need to be sure I can retrieve my original library, which has been replaced by images from iphoto I hadn't slected. I currently use a lightroom 3 and have spent countless hours as a professional photographer improving my original photographs. Can I speak to someone regarding this matter?
I would really appreciate your help in resolving this matter asap.

Morning Geoff,
Hope you slept well. I have been busy looking into many of the things you
have told me.
Where should I start so much info.
There are 7 Ircat folders. Some empty some contain approx 7000 images. Some
of the images /altered on lightroom are here few maybe 50. Although they
are missing or offline and now in the CR2 format ( photoshop elements),
which is very strange. I think this an issue as to why it may have all
gone, changed? In another Ircat folder many images are in the condition I
left them although not all of them, the latest 2013 are missing. Also in
another extension Ircat folder many of the images are there I imagine the
same 7000 but cant be seen?
On my hard drive there is a folder I cannot open, it reads in progress and
says no App to open document, search App store for Application. Perhaps
this is the key, I also have little storage space on my hard drive.
Many images under 2012 on hard drive have the tiff image, with altered
version created on lightroom some now show as CR2 version to view the photo
photoshop elements opens up automatically, which I never use. I do feel
this is a major reason/ issue?
Also under certain folders with dates my images appear pixelated or blurry.
Under another heading the jpg version is great approx 73 some are missing
the latest and most important, unfortunately I want in Tiff.
Under another folder on hard drive I have many of the images I am chasing
approx 60 but the size is a concern 2-2.5mb, should be around 40mb?
In another folder all are in CR2 photoshop elements.
Time Machine, which I'm sure was inactive tells me it could not back up
disk?
Under thumbnails it looked promising all in DNG many missing and in CR2
format.
I thought I would let you know in case I haven't already that the memory on
the imac is very low, hence why I began trashing/ deleting images yesterday
thet are saved on my hard drive this is when all this mess occured.
Are there short cuts I can use to remove images that are duplicates without
lightroom becoming tempermental?
Were too next? I am hoping the originals can be found and installed in
their original form.
I really appreciate all of your help and time, please help me
Cheers mate

Backup failure: more space required than my HD's capacity!

Hi, I'm trying to backup a macbook pro with 250gb capacity HD to an external drive with 270gb free space.
Time Machine gives an error stating the backup is too large for the backup volume, requiring 339.3 GB.
I do have a virtual machine but have instructed Time Machine not to back up my virtual disks.
What's going on?!

Your TM partition is much too small. The general rule is, it should have roughly 2-3 times as much space as the data it's backing-up, since it keeps previous copies of items you've deleted or changed. See item #1 of the Frequently Asked Questions post at the top of this forum for more details.
Plus, TM needs free workspace (the "padding" in the message) on the destination (just as OSX does on it's boot volume). Thus the 295 GB of data (having already excluded 11.8 GB), plus 20% yields the 340 GB it needs.
While you might be able to squeeze most of your data into that partition, TM's not going to work well or for long unless it has a lot more space.
What else is on that drive? If you don't have backups of that, your best bet may be to get another, larger drive, big enough to back-up both your internal HD and the other data on the current drive.
If that's not possible, you might be able to use a "clone," such as CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper! in the existing partition, but even that would be very tight (295 GB in a 310 GB partition doesn't leave OSX much workspace), and anything changed or deleted in error, or corrupted, would be lost.

Msg states: "your Mac os x startup disk has no more space available for application memory...Removing files from startup disk may help." yet, I have 299.11GB of 319.73GB available. Why is msg received?

The full message reads as, "

Connect the iPod to your computer and look at the storage used by the various categories as shown in the colored bargarph in iTunes.
Come back with the results.
What is the Other on my iPhone and How to Remove It
An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 usually indicates that the "other" includes corrupted files.
Yo can also try:
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Why, with the same number of photos in both places, do I still have 25 GB of storage on my iPad and have to BUY more space in iCloud?

Why, with the same number of photos on my iPad and supposedly in iCloud, do I still have over 25 GB of space on my iPad but now need to buy even more storage space in iCloud? My iPad is 64 GB and I am now paying for 20 GB of iCloud storage with 864 MB left!

As I said:
Even if the Photos are less than 20GB, There's other stuff on the iPhone that is likely getting backed up to iCloud and using space. Basically your Phone has more space to spare than iCloud.
You can check in Settings->iCloud->Storage->Manage Storage to see what is using up the space in iCloud.
Anyway, turning off Photo stream will remove all photos from iCloud, it will not remove them from the iPad if they were taken with it, or copied to it.
Again I suggest you check in:Settings->iCloud->Storage->Manage Storage to see what else is using your iCloud space.

Why does indows takes up more space than it needs?

This is the third computer I have installed Windows 7 on since using Bootcamp and for a second time I have run into a wierd glitch.
After partitioning the internal drive with 65Gb for Windows, I installed Windows 7 and everything went smoothly as always, however.
When checking the remaining space on C: in windows it says I only have 23Gb of space left. This means that the Windows installation alone has taken up 42Gb!!!!!! Why? This has happened before and I have not been able to find anyone else with the same problem.
Should I reinstall windows?

Error Message: Your mac osx startup disk has no more space available for application memory.

Hi everyone:
I have a 2010 27" imac. Dual Core i3, 3.2 GHz and 8GB of 1333MHz DDR3 RAM, and a 90% empty 500 GB Hard Drive. Running Snow Leopard 10.6.6
I have received a message intermittently since I got the iMac. The Force Quit menu comes up and says "Your mac osx startupdisk has no more space available for application memory". Sometimes there are a few applications open. Sometimes none. Whenever I look in the Activity Monitor Utility I see 2 or 3 gigs of RAM still available for use, and lots of hard drive space.
Im not sure why I'm getting the message, nor what to do to rectify it. Quitting applications, like it suggests doesn't seem to help.
I am grateful for any advice.
Lauren

Hey Lauren.
First of all you do have some software updates you should be doing. 10.6.7 came out a few weeks ago. Sometimes doing all of your software updates resolve issues such as this.
To check for software updates click the Apple and then Software updates.
As this issue is someone broad, I would test one of the articles below to narrow down your issue.

Hard disk has no more space available for application memory

I keep this getting this error after my applications freeze for several minutes.
"Your hard disk has no more space available for application memory."
I have 1 drive with 160 GB and 46 GB available. I'm pretty sure that's plenty of free space. And why does my memory need my drive? I've got 2.5 GB of memory. That should be plenty sufficient to run Safari without needing virtual memory.
Help!

Hello! OSX uses a virtual memory scheme and even though you have a lot of ram it still utilizes the paging file. Panther 10.3.9 and below runs maintenance routines very early in the morning to clear temp files and other stuff. If you don't normally leave it on 24/7 then you may need to consider a utility to clear the temp files and do the routine maintenance. Tiger 10.4+ runs these automatically. I suggest leaving it on all night for a day or so and then restarting and see if the problem clears up. Here's a list of utilities such as Macjanitor.Tom

Process "deskjet" is using up over 1GB of RAM and over 60GB of VRAM after an hour or so of use. ALSO, "Your startup disk has no more space" error.

The blowers will kick on and I get the: "Your mac os x startup disk has no more space available for application memory." with a list of running apps that aren't going over anything abnormal (Chrome, Finder, Activity Monitor). Quitting any of the applications that appear the dialog continues to pop up. Performance doesn't appear to suffer but the computer definitely acts like it's busy with only a few applications open, however force quitting deskjet slows down the blowers (fans).
I have 20GB remaining on my boot drive. I have also lived several months with less than 5GB remaining and have never seen this error from Mac OS X 10 - 10.8. The only thing different between then and now is the boot drive is a SSD.
I focus on the printer drivers because that's something I can't find anywhere else through Google or Discussion searches. The "startup disk" error has some hits that I have yet to go through completely, although initial results show that it may be a vague bug/leak with SSDs.
(Edit: After clearing up another GB or so and 10 minutes of "deskjet" being killed, it's the longest I've gone without the dialog popping up. Although once I restart that driver will go out of control again).
-Less than a month old clean installation of Mountain Lion 10.8.2
-Early 2008 MBP
-SSD bootdrive
-500GB secondary HDD
-4GB RAM
-Permissions have been repaired just yesterday.
-SMC and PRAM reset as well, although it won't hurt to do it again when I get back home.

Why is non-embedded artwork taking up 500% more space on iPod Classic

Hi all
Following on from this thread:
How to tell if my mp3s have embedded artwork (artwork file bigger than it should be)?
If anyone has a moment (anyone who does not embed artwork that is), would you mind comparing your PC Hard Drive and iPod in terms of how much space they use for the same amount of artwork?
I am using Foobar iPod Manager to transfer. I have one cover.jpg file per album, and even though I have the exact same artwork on my PC Hard Drive and iPod, the iPod uses 145MB more storage space (about 500% I think!). I've no idea if this is just how the iPod stores artwork, or if there is another reason. I'd be curious to see how yours looks and/or to hear why this happens.
Cheers
Max

Well, an update has come from another forum and I thought I would post it here in case others stumble here in the future searching for an answer to the same question.
Apparently, the non-embedded artwork on the iPod is in an uncompressed format instead of JPG and therefore takes up more space. Seems a bit odd, seeing as I am loading jpegs onto the iPod. I can only presume the iPod decompresses them at some stage.
Cheers

IMac Memory Issues: "Your Mac OSX Startup Disk Has No More Space Available"

Hi all,
I've done some extensive searching on my issue, and haven't been able to find a solid solution. I was hoping that if I shared my specific problem, it might shed some light on what is going on. My OS is current: 10.8.2 with plenty of HD space (over 250 GB) and 4 GB ram.
Over the past couple of days, my iMac has become very slow and laggy. Most times I will eventually get the message: "Your Mac OSX Startup Disk Has No More Space Available". This is after it has been lagging for quite a while, sometimes several hours.
I will restart, things will be sufficiently fast for a few minutes, but once I start working in any application (including any browser, or adobe software) it starts to slow down until it is eventually to a crawl, with the spinny wheel showing up often, even when only one application is open at a time. It doesn't take more than several minutes to start slowing down. Even simple things like hovering over the dock start to really lag, or opening my applications folder or System Preferences can take upwards of 15-30 seconds, even several minutes sometimes.
Here's some steps I've taken so far:
- Checked the activity monitor and system memory seems fine. No single app takes up more than 7% or so of memory at any given time. 1.65 GB active, 1.64 GB inactive, about 700 MB wired, free about 4 MB. VM size is 247 GB, CPU also seems OK: (%user around 10-20%, %System around 10%, Idle around 70-80%). No single app seems to be taking up an excessive amount of Real Memory.
- Permissions repair (It found some things to fix, but never completely finished, seemed to freeze after several hours, tried it several times)
- Checked disk for repair (no problems found), did the S.M.A.R.T check and ran tests again using Onyx.
- Re-indexed Macintosh HD
- I saw a suggestion to reset the PRAM, so I did that.
I do have the system backed up via Time Machine. Suggestions for further action are very much appreciated!

Ok, thanks. Here's a screenshot from during when it was running to a near halt (took me a while even to take the screenshot):
Here's a second screenshot after restart. All I did was open Chrome to post this:
At this exact moment I have about 500MB of memory free, but I have been watching it slowly count down starting from 2GB free when I first restarted. So far it is running smoothly, but I am guessing that it will start to lag again once the free memory dials down.
In case there is any correlation: I happened to have a strange issue with my internet connection. My router seems to be working fine, and I have wi-fi connected around the house. However, I did have my iMac connected via ethernet cable, and the wired connection was not working (was not finding a DNS address), but when I go to Wi-fi, it works. Again, could be totally unrelated, but it started just before the slowdown.

"Your Mac OS X Startup Disk Has No More Space For Application Memory"

I've been having a problem in the last few days with my Mac. I would be surfing the net, or doing whatever, and an error message would randomly pop up on my screen. It would say: "_Your Mac OS X Startup Disk Has No More Space For Application Memory_". Then the dialog box would give me the option to PAUSE or *Force Quit* applications. But instead of letting me click these buttons, my Mac would just automatically freeze after the dialog box popped up!
The odd thing is, is that I truly was NOT using that much memory...much less than I usually do. Plus I have 4 GB of RAM, and I know I wasn't maxing it out.
Does anyone know why this error message would be popping up like this (especially since there was no way that I was using all my Application Memory)? And does anyone know why my Mac just freezes instantly when the error message pops up?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! It's quite hard use my Mac right now, since I never know when it's gonna freeze up on me!
Thanks!

I assume that means no backups? That's a problem you need to fix next.
You might be able to start your Mac in "Target Disk Mode" while connected to the other Mac. You do this by holding down the "T" key while booting. And I was wrong: you must use Firewire, not USB.
The other Mac will see your HD as an external F/W drive. You may have to "mount" it via Disk Utility, if it doesn't show up on the desktop and/or Finder sidebar.
You probably need to do a lot of examining what's not needed, and perhaps some maintenance, but you don't want to do that under pressure.
To get it running and buy just a bit of time, your best bet is to copy some big stuff (like video) either to the other Mac's hard drive or to one or more DVDs, then delete it from your HD.
Once you get several GB free, you should be able to boot it. Then get started cleaning it up. There are many threads in this forum with links and suggestions for how to do this. Just search for +Disk Full.+
Did this happen all of a sudden? If so, it's possible you had some sort of runaway or continually failing process, filling up some logs and/or caches. If you don't do routine maintenance, either by clearing your browser cache, etc., manually, or via an app like OnyX, that's another thing you might want to investigate.

Just to recap, this is a collection of ports I have collected over time for people who needed this information when setting up the HP ePrint app so that they could view their email from within the app. I am certain other applications also need this information. Although lengthy, I could not find a more comprehensive place to retrieve this information. Feel free to post additional information, faulty information, or other related topics below as this is simply a collection of data and it would be practically impossible to test all of them.
