Exported to external, taking space on internal?

I exported a slideshow to my external drive, and when it was finished, it's not on my external but has taken up the space on my internal but it's not there. I've searched all through my internal and somehow I'm missing 4 gigs, the file is also not on my external. I re exported again and it worked. How can I find what is taking up theis 4gigs?
Thanks!

Perhaps the file has become hidden. Here's how to show all files.

#Show hidden files. All file icons come out dimmed.

How much external disk space is needed for editing HD video?

If I'm using FCE:
1) How much external disk space is needed for editing HD video:
if I downloaded 150mins of HD video? and
do editing with it which will have an output of 120mins.
Now PC, going to a MAC user soon Windows XP

Hi(bonjour)!
As a rule of thumb for HDV editing, use those numbers:
12 to 15 meg/second for capturing ( your project is 150 minutes long, so 780 meg/minute, or 117 to 125 Gig).
If you do any editing, add transition, video effect, add 12 to 15 meg /second to the total.
As your project will have to be rendered for the print to tape operation, calculate 12 to 15 meg/second for all the length of your final movie. Add this amount to the total. (example: a 60 minutes movie : 49 Gig).
If you want to burn a DVD on your Mac, calculate 3 to 4 meg/second for downconversion to DV material if you check "self-contained" in quicktime export dialog. (example: your finished project is 60 minutes long : 10.8 Gig)
iDVD itself needs 3 to 4 times this amount if you want flawless operation.
Finally, if you use your internal hard disk for all this storage (it's not a good idea to capture on the same drive where Mac OS X belongs), your Mac OS needs some spare room to breath (doing caching, etc), and your hard drive must have a least 25% of free space to avoid file's fragmentation.
As hard drive's price drop, get the maximum size you can afford. 250 Gig is a good choice if you want to do just one project of 90 to 150 minutes at the time.

I need to minimize the space photos take on my MacBook Pro OSx 10.7. They are in iPhoto, Aperture, Pictures/Photo Library, etc. Are they taking space in all of these locations?

I need to minimize the space photos take on my MacBook Pro OSx 10.7. They are in iPhoto, Aperture, Pictures/Photo Library, etc. Are they taking space in all of these locations?

Are they taking space in all of these locations?
It depends on how you are using iPhoto and Aperture.
iPhoto and Aperture each create their own library files, and the default location for them is in /users/youruseraccount/Pictures
You can configure iPhoto and Aperture to use the same Library file, in which case your photos are only stored once. But if you are using iPhoto & Aperture with independent library files, you may in fact be duplicating your storage.
The second consideration is whether or not you have configured iPhoto and/or Aperture as reference libraries, in which case their library files only reference photos you have stored in other places on your hard drive. Setting them up as reference libraries does not duplicate the photos inside the library files.

Is it possible to view external hardrive space in GB instead of TB

Hi,
Is there a way of checking external harddrive space in GB instead of TB ?
Finder says "1.6TB available" on the bottom bar. Is there a preference when changed could make it say "1600GB available" ?
Thanks !

One GB is a very huge file. First of all check ur XI hardware configuration.
1. U may write ur adapter module to zip the message.
2. It wont affect the performance much if the file size is 1 GB. Also u cant stop adapter engine (File Adapter) and the Integration Engine in ur scenario
3. U can do the load testing on XI using load runner

No external transaction assigned to internal transaction 0020 / 0010

Hi gurus..
While iam doing invoice its shows error like
"No external transaction assigned to internal transaction 0020 / 0010"
Where i need to maintain external transactions?
can any one please tel the complete path for that...
thanks...

Hello,
Financial Accounting / Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable / Basic Functions / Postings and Documents / Document / Maintain Document Assignments / Maintain Transactions for IS-U/IS-T / Maintain Transactions for Cash Security Deposits/Interest
There, go to Define Main Transaction, select main transaction 0020, double click Define Sub-Transactions, select subtransaction 0010, double click Allocate Transactions to Internal Transactions and do the allocation there.
If you didn't define the combination of main transaction and subtransaction for cash security deposit payment, do that first, then follow the steps described above. If you define other main/sub transaction (for example AAAA/BBBB), replace "select main transaction 0020" with "select main transaction AAAA", and "select subtransaction 0010" with "select subtransaction BBBB" in the steps above.
Hope this helps.

[SOLVED] /home folder is taking space on two partitions after install

Hi everyone,
At first I thought that I would just read these forums, however even after a few days of using Arch Linux I found one issue that was never been asked before (or asked in different way that I couldn't find).
So the problem that I cannot find solution for is that the files in /home folder are taking space on two partitions - on /dev/sda2 and /dev/sda4 and therefore making root partition run out of space.
Some information from commands to get more clear view:

I have checked three times the commands that I ran when installing Arch Linux with a few tutorials including beginner's guide but don't see where could be the issue. Maybe any of you know what could be the problem here?

I'm so confused. O_O What is the problem? The output of those commands are all consistent: "/dev/sda2" is mounted as "/" and "/dev/sda4" is mounted as "/home".
Are you saying that when you create a 1GB file in "/home" that 1GB of space becomes used in BOTH "/home" and "/"?
One thing that MIGHT be suspicious is your use of "/dev/sda4". In a traditional BIOS setup, partitions 1 - 3 are primary partitions and partition 4 is an extended partition. How is your drive partitioned? Could that be related to whatever problem you're seeing?
Thank you drcouzelis for pointing me in the right direction! I thought that creating 1 GB in /home would be used in both /home and /, however when I did that only /home have changed. So I started checking what is causing / to fill out and found that it was the backup of home to the root!
Thank you for your time

Can I transfer single files both ways from external usb drive to internal ssd drive?

I just installed an ssd 240g in a mac pro and put the old 500 hd to the usb port for backup . how can I access individual files from the external storage to the internal ? I can sign in only one a HD at a time now.

My guess is that you cloned the hard drive to the SSD, correct? In that case you can still view both drives at a time. Just plug in your external hard drive, open Finder, and look for it on the left-hand side of the window (called the sidebar). Click on it once you have found it, and you should be good to go!

HT202905 Applescript is exporting folders with a space after the foldername.

Applescript is exporting folders with a space after the foldername. This is causing problems with an FTP upload of ours. Is there a way to ensure Applescript doesn't insert spaces on the end of folder names?
Thank you!

i bought a used 2 year old macbook pro last week did an erase and install with leopard and once that was done with nothing transfered firewire the drive had over 20 gigs of used space on it so i started snooping around and saw a number of folders in a folder labeled base system that have a solid red circle with a white dash in the middle next to them after clicking on them it says i do not have permission even though i am in under admin?
the fact that you are an admin doesn't mean that you automatically have access to everything. those folders are owned by the system and have restricted permissions. you should not mess with them. those permissions are mostly restricted to prevent curious users with itchy fingers from damaging the system. as an admin user you can change those permissions and give yourself access to those folders but as i said you shouldn't.
any ideas to what it is what to do or why it took over 20 gigs to install?
20 Gigs sounds like a bit too much. have you installed any programs besides leopard itself?

How come free space on internal disk is decreasing when I am exporting videos to imovie library on external disk

Hi,
I am moving all the videos I have in my iphoto library on my computer to the imovie library (version 9.0.9 ) I have on an external disk to free some space on the internal disk.
Afterwards, I am deleting them from the iphoto library BUT I noticed that the free space on the internal disk does not increase. Movies are decreasing but the space is going to back ups. I am doing this process as I want to have more space on the internal disk. Do I do something wrong or is this the normal process ?
Also, I have Imovie (new version - which I am not using, at least not for the moment) and the old version (created when I updated) on my internal disk and a copy I made befor the update on an external disk.
Is it safe to delete the old version on the internal disk ?
Thanks for helping me out !

Hi,
On my mac I have iphoto and two versions of imovie - application that was created last october (2.9 gb -- so far I did not use this app) and 9.0.9 imovie folder (1,197,747,040 bytes - 1.22 GB on disk) .
On the external disk, I made a copy of 9.0.9 version some while ago (to be eaxct, before the new version was installed last october).
This what I do:
- import the video into imovie on my internet disk via "file, import, photos, iphoto library and select..."
- then I delete the videos from the iphoto event, emtpy trash in iphoto and empty trash on my dock
I photo version I am using is 9.5.
What do you mean with your third question ?
I back up on a 2nd external disk (used only for back up) with time machine.
When I check the space available (on this mac, more info, storage...) I noticed backups take up 7,6 GB. Before I started the above mentioned process of importing videos in imovie on the external disk the backups showed 0. What did I do wrong ?
Thanks for helping me out.

Exporting to external harddrive "not enough disk space"

imac Mac OS X (10.3.9)
I'm having several problems while trying to export my entire iphoto library as a backup to an external harddrive...
The main on is I am getting a "not enough disk space error". There is 95 GB available on the harddrive and the library is approximately 20 GB.
I've been doing it in smaller increments b/c I thought it might be an issue of not enough space on my mac's harddrive as I only have like 6GB left (the reason I'm backing up and deletiing photos) but it gets to a certain point and then says no more.
I've been using the export function, but I've also tried just dragging and dropping them and get the same error.
I'm runnning iphoto 4.0.3.
Of course I've tried restarting to no avail...
Any suggestions would be welcome...
Another issue is the filenames. Of course many have the same names from the camera. Is there a way to get them to automatically put them in folders on the harddrive. I've been doing this manually and it's tiresome.
Finally, is there a way to get it keep the "date created" information. When I look on the harddrive it says they were all created 12/31/1903! That's going to make it very difficult to find something later should I need it...
Thanx so much!
JT

< The library is like 30 GB while the pictures are only 20GB.>
If you have rotated, cropped, or edited any pictures in iPhoto, the originals are all kept inside the iPlibrary in case you want to "revert to the originals"... it's good to know it's there, but you are less likely to revert to an original, since there's a reason you edited the pics in the first place.
Anyway, those originals are taking "wasted space" in your iPlibrary.
If you want to reduce the size of the iPlibrary from 30GB to close to 20GB, (because the thumbnails will remains and must), then you should get rid of the superfluous duplicates! I did.
if you want to clean you iPlibrary and get rid of duplicates, you can use iPhoto diet. Free download.
My advice, is do a drop and copy the entire iPlibrary to the external, as suggested by eww, because imagine a day, when the internal HD iPLibrary crashes on you, and becomes not salvageable, you will have a mirror copy, to copy back to your internal drive, with all it's albums, names, favorites ,star ratings etc....... If you export to the external HD, and if your iP library crashes on you.... you are to re-import from scratch.... and you will go %#%^&$&@$$@#
I have been there myself... now I have 3 differents external HD that I back up to. 9 different iPlibraries, and 3 copies of each on 3 separate HD..... Photos are too important to me.....
Reading this discussion group, you see many people writting thing such as "my library is gone what do I do?"
it's not a matter of if but when!
You be the judge...
