Encore not using full available disc space

So. I frequently burn DVDs with Encore with timelines that are 2 hours or longer. Beginning in CS5, Encore would start only using up 4.2GB of space even though the size of my disc image was 4.7GB. Before the material is rendered, Encore says it's using all 4.7GB, with a few MB left over. But once it's done rendering, sometimes there's an extra 500 MB unused. It doesn't always happen but usually does. If I click around in Encore a bit, the disc info panel updates to show all the extra unused space.
This was not the case in any previous version of Encore. Tech support people tried to tell me this was a feature, that Encore was now including 10% of buffer space. What an idiotic feature, but ok, whatever.
So I started trying to fool Encore by setting the disc size to 5.2 GB. And most of the time I'd come out w/ an image using all the available space on the DVD. Except, that doesn't always work. Right now I have a project that's 1 hour 45 minutes. When I render a disc of 5.2 GB size, that's exactly how much space the disc image takes up. Ok, so I re-render at 4.7 GB. Nope, it's gonna do 4.22 GB. WTF??? And then sometimes, for no clear reason at all, Encore will make a 4.7 GB image without me changing a thing.
If this was really a feature, it's not implemented consistently, and then why tell me my disc is using 4.7 GB before rendering if Encore has no intention of using that much space.
I brought this problem up back when CS5 came out--I talked to senior-level support people about it--and can't believe that two versions later it hasn't been fixed. It's wasting incredible amounts of my time.
The cycle hasn't ended for as long as I've been buying Creative Suite...every version, lots of my long-standing frustrations are fixed, but Adobe manages to screw up one big thing. And I give in and pay for the next version in hopes that it gets fixed...but something else then gets screwed up. Another several hundred dollars later and now I guess I have to wait for CS7 to maybe have this work correctly.

Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
In Disk Utility, if you select that drive and the "Partition" tab, what do you see as the partition arrangement?

Not seeing full available HDD space

Hoping someone can help, running Snow leopoard on a 120gb drive. It was partitioned previously and the main drive had approx 5 gb worth of avail space. Using Disk Utility I deleted the 2nd partition and merged the two. Disk Utility reports it now as one 120gb partition but im having issues with the avail space. IT now says
Disk size 120
used 55 gb
avail 5 gb.
Any suggestions ?

When you say that the HDD isn't showing up in Disk Utility, do you mean that it isn't showing up on the left hand side of the app like in this picture?

Finder is not correctly reporting available disk space

finder is not correctly reporting available disk space
my drive is 50% full but finder shows there is only @ 35% left
the difference is more than anything needed by the system
any ideas on what is causing the problem?

Try this:
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger, and 4.1 for Leopard) and/or TechTool Pro (4.6.1 for Leopard) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

Time Capsule Not Using Full Capacity

Good morning. I have a 1tb Time Capsule and use Time Machine to backup my iMac and my son's MBP.
The Time Machine backup is reporting that 235gb of 998gb is available. But it's been "stuck" at about 235gb for weeks. It seems as if the system is not using all available capacity. Is this normal?
I should note that at one time I had miscellaneous folders and files on the Time Capsule (from a PC). Would those miscellaneous files have somehow "blocked" access to the rest of the free space? I have removed those misc files, but still not seeing the system use my full drive capacity.
Any ideas how to get the system to use the rest of the drive?
Thanks in advance, John

The Time Capsule is reporting on the space that backups are using on the drive. Backups are stored in a special container called a sparsebundle file.
Sparsebundles behave differently than normal files. The sparsefundle expands as more data is added.But, it behaves differently when files are deleted.
So, lets say that the sparsebundle is up to 100 GB. Now, you delete 10 GB from your backups beasue you don't need the files any longer. So, you think you should see 90 GB now.
The sparsebundlw will still show as a 100 GB. It will begin to "grow" again when more than 100 GB is present.

Available disc space is incorrect

I think something is wrong with my MBP (2011, Mac OSX 10.7.5).
It seems to be working ok but I think the available disc space is incorrect.
In the Finder it says '233,65 gb available', in Disk Utility and About This Mac it says '77,47 GB available'. There's no way that I have 233 GB available space because my harddisk (320 GB) is filled with pictures and audio. Why is the Finder saying this? Does this have something to do with the local backups (77+156=233)?
I did not erase any large files, nor did I disable the local backups in the terminal. Can anyone tell me if something is wrong with my harddisk? I rebooted but the number is still the same.

Thanks for your input, Ogelthorpe. I appreciate it!
I do believe though that it has something to do with the local backups. The local backups are 125 GB now, the available disc space according to 'about this mac' has gone up to 107 GB, and finder window says the available disc space is now 232 GB (and again: 125 + 107 = 232).
Today I did not move any files or delete any files, in fact, I did not use my Mac for about 8 hours. So how did the available disc space go up from 77 GB (last night) to 125 GB when I did not delete / change anything?
It might have something to do with the fact that a few days ago I downloaded about 50 GB's, I copied it to an external harddrive and deleted the files from my Mac then. Perhaps 'versions' of those files (about 1,2 GB each) still exist in the local backups.
Although I'm still intrigued by how everything works I decided to l let it go and stop worrying about it. Thanks again.

[Solved] Pacman mounts partition on checking available disc space

Hi, hope this is the right subforum.
First, pacman doesn't directly mount any partition. My partition, located at /dev/sdb1, is automounted if somenone request access to /media/datengrab. Fstab-entry looks like this:
/dev/sdb1 /media/datengrab ext4 noauto,noexec,x-systemd.automount 0 2
The funny thing is, every time pacman checks the available disc space, this partition is mounted. The question is: why? Software is never installed under /media, so accessing /media is not needed. Maybe this is a bug? (Or, better question: How can pacman avoid to access /media?)
Hope someone can help or explain why pacman is accessing /media.
Thanks in advance

Because the diskspace checking behavior in 4.0.x is quite naive. I fixed this a while ago so that only the mount points being written to will be actually checked. Stay tuned for pacman 4.1.

Opening attachments - ERROR MSG - 'Not enough memory or disc space'

Hi
I'm trying to open a word .doc from my Entourage email account and it comes up with the error message ' Not enough memory or disc space'. My hard drive has 119 GB free - so I'm thinking it may be a memory issue.
How do I deal with this/clean up my computer??
I just turned my computer on for the day and got this message. The only programs I've got running is Safari, entourage, word and adobe reader.
Thanks.

Have you tried Epson support for that E-Web Print application?
Also, I am curious if Epson installed an add-on for Firefox for that E-Web Print application? ''Thus prompting you to ask about it in the Firefox support forum.''
At this point the best I can offer you is a suggestion to reset your printer prefs in Firefox to see if that will help with that issue.

System not using all avail. mem.

Hi all, did a lot of forum searching and haven't seen this topic.
I'm using PPCS5(in production Premium) While rendering, the program is not using all available memory. before I go on here is the system I am using:
Win7pro
EVGA X58FTW mobo
I7 970
6x4gig Kingston hyperX 1600 RAM
Quadro fx4000
WD 140gig Raptor sys. drive
2x1TB RAID 0 (3gig SATA) data
2x2TB RAID 0 (6gig SATA) data
see image:
I have 21gigs allocated to the program.
Is the bottleneck the cache memory?
This is what I'm outputting:
Thanks for looking.

Dvds made with encore cs5 not using full 4.65gb as cs4 did

The majority of my video work consists of burning DVDs of event videos that are longer than two hours. I edit the video, dynamic link over to Premiere, add a second time line with a 10 second logo video and render the DVD. And since the begining of time with CS3, these DVD images always come out to be 4.65/4.66 gb (according to OS X). Now, with CS5, changing absolutely nothing--exact same workflow--Encore is only using 4.21 gb of space. The disc info section of the build pane lists around 450mb of free space (on the particular project I'm looking at right now).
This is a significant amount of wasted space and is unacceptable. Why is this happening?

I was finally able to talk to someone from Adobe and they tell me that this is the expected behavior, that supposedly not all DVDs are manufactured at the correct size and this extra space is to prevent problems. Should that even be true (aren't DVD's a standard?? If it says there's 4.7gb on it doesn't than mean there's 4.7gb??) this is a STUPID decision for the following reasons:
* It doesn't show this 500mb extra space until after you render your items. Before that time, it shows all the disc space being used--1 or 2 megs free and no more
* If this is necessary then make the default disc image size 4.2gb and add it to the drop-down list of sizes. Then I can pick 4.7 if I want it.
* It doesn't even always leave 500mb. Sometimes, completely unexplicably--I'd say 10% of the time, it uses the full amount of space...like it's done since Encore v1.0. So if I manually change the disc size to 5.2 in order to get the right size image, I sometimes find that nope, Encore isn't drunk today, and I now have a 5.2gb disc image and have to start over.
It seems like every time I update my software w/ the promise of things speeding up my workflow (and other things in CS5 have), something like this pops up to F it all up and I resign myself to thinking well, I guess Adobe will fix this one day...and call it CS6 and charge me another $700 for it.

Report output not using full page.

I have a report that does not use the full screen to display. The output display on about a 1.5 to 2 inch section of the page and the rest is white space. How do I get it to use the full page?

Hi Raymist123,
If I understand correctly, the issue which you occurred is that the report content only displayed about 1.5 to 2 inch. As per my understanding, I think this issue is caused by the report content including all the report items (table, matrix, list, chart,
gauge, text boxes etc.) is only occupied 1.5 to 2 inch on the report design surface. If in this case, we can try to expand the sizes of all the report items to fix the issue. And please make sure that the PageSize of the report have set to 8.5 x 11.
If this issue is still existed, could you please post the screenshot about the design surface and the all the size properties? Then we can make further analysis.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Katherine Xiong

We could not complete your purchase (disc space error)

I got this message for a re-download of a game: There is not enough disk space available to install the product.
The size of the game (Bioshock Infinitive) is 40GB, but the point is I have 93GB free disc space.
What can I do to solve this error?
Thank you in advance.
PS: English isn't my mother tongue, hope I didn't make to many misspellings. ;-)

First, the App Store will not allow a download that, when expanded, would leave less than the minimum amount of available space on the startup volume that Apple considers necessary, which is about 9 GB. The download is a compressed archive that will usually expand to about twice its size. Both the archive and the expanded files will be present at the same time, so the actual amount of space needed is about three times the size of the archive.
If you're trying to add a large amount of data all at once, and you get an alert of insufficient space, then from the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Time Machine
If the padlock icon is closed, click it to unlock the settings and authenticate. Turn Time Machine OFF, then back ON and close the preference pane. Restart the computer. Test.

Uninstalled Boot Camp partition but did not recover full hard drive space

I used Boot Camp Assistant to uninstall my Windows 7 partition, but in the middle of the uninstall we had a power outage. When I restarted the computer, the Boot Camp drive image on my desktop was gone, but when I checked the storage, it only showed 697GB storage, not the full 1TB that should be there. When I checked the Boot Camp Assistant again, the only option it gave me was to download the software or install Windows 7 or later. I probably need to do a system restore (I do have my system backed up with Time Machine on an external drive) but if there's another way to get back that 300GB space, I'd appreciate some guidance.

Yosemite with CoreStorage adds to complications.
Can you post the output of the following Terminal commands. For "sudo" commands, enter your password, and it will not be echoed back to you.
diskutil list
diskutil cs list
sudo gpt -vv -r show /dev/disk0
sudo fdisk /dev/disk0

Vertical Scroll bar not using all view port space

I'm developing an ADF application in 11g to be used on a PC and under the browser on an IPAD. My top page layout has a panel group layout of scroll. When the page renders in IE it does not consume all the available viewport. The vertical scroll bar stops about an inch above the bottom of the page. On the IPAD, when I have the device in portrait orentation, I only get about half the window area. I need to have the page render in all the available space on the viewport, especially on the IPAD. Can anyone tell me how I can get the page to render and take up all the available space in the viewport?

I did try that. I was having some issues with trying to put everything I had on the page inside of one. I think it actuall turned out to be something else. I was messing around with things on the page fragment. ADF was adding a scroll bar but not using the whole page to do so. I took the scroll panel off the page fragment and off of any other page fragment including the actual JSF page. When I set a large heigth for the page on my top panel group, which I had on the main page that contained the bonded task flow region, I got the browser to create the scroll bar for me for the whole page. It fixed the problem on the PC and it also fixed the issue I had with the page rendering on the IPAD. The IPAD now allowed the whole page to be scrolled by sliding your finger.

Service account being used in Availability Address Space

We are A.com and have availabilityaddressspace created with a partner company B.com. Both A.com and B.com use Exch 2007.
F/B sharing works great. No issues at all, has been working for many years.
I am trying to find out the service account which we used while configuring the availability address space.
Get-availabilityaddresspace | fl reveals that serviceaccount is beign used but it does not talk about the service account being used. I checked properties of availabilityaddress space in ADSIEDIT and nothing reveals about the service account being used.
There is an account revalidation happening and i need to find out which service account is being used to mke sure its not deleted in both the companies.. any help on this will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Sivaram

Hi,
I recommend you refer to the following articles:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb629601(v=exchg.80).aspx
Use the Get-AvailabilityConfig cmdlet to retrieve the accounts that are trusted in cross-forest exchange of free/busy information.
The Get-AvailabilityConfig cmdlet lists the accounts that have permissions to issue proxy availability service requests on an organizational or per-user basis.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb125182(v=exchg.141).aspx
Use the Shell to configure trusted cross-forest availability with a service account
Hope this helps!
