Finder and Utility don't agree

I have MacBook Pro with 512 SSD; Mavericks 10.9.2
I remeber something about Time Machine storing backups on boot drive, which makes no sense at all. This file was hidden and a terminal command 'sudo tmutil disablelocal' would turn automatic local backup off. I've tried that, and now it shows under Time Machine Preferences an option to backup on battery power, which I have unchecked.
Finder shows I have 179GB available and disk utility shows I have 95GB available on boot disk. I tried to restore my iTunes Libaray by deleteing the current and then dragging a backup to Music the other day. Said there was not enough disk space to do so. Finder showed I had plenty of room, but disk utility said I didn't have enough. What is hidden and how do I free up this disk space.
I rebuilt my system and now the missing disk space has showed up again as I listed above.
Finder says 179GB and Disk Utility says 95GB available
Someone please educate me, cause Apple Care says DUH.
Thanks

See OS X Mavericks: Increase disk space
Hope this helps.

Can't find (and possibly don't have) the -lglut -lGLU -lGL libraries... or at least when I try to compile a program, it returns with that error. Any ideas (I really need to get this popgen program running on Lion)? Thx!

Hi all,
I'm trying to compile a population genetic software program onto my Mac Lion. It was originally compiled to Tiger and worked beautifully. But now I'm getting an error 'library not found for -lglut', and now I'm trying to figure out how to download the library. I've installed the command line code for Xcode, and am thinking I possibly missed installing the libraries. I could be very wrong here... all I know is that I'm no longer near the people I would ask to help me with this so I'm asking you! Thanks in advance for any help! I guess my questions are: 1) where can I download the glut (potentially OpenGL) libraries (if I don't have them already)? And 2) once downloaded, how do I install it so the makefile will compile my program (in terminal, not Xcode)? Cheers,
C

Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
Please report back to see if this helped you!

Now that I have installed OSX 10.9.4 I can't get the Finder to work, or Photoshop. How can I fix this?

In what way does the Finder not work? Any error message?

Execution highlighting and probe don't agree

I'm debugging code on my cRIO using LV2009SP1.
There is an array of interest and my execution highlighting annotation on the block diagram shows "#0". However, if I put a probe on it, the data is clearly there.
Can somebody help?

Trust the probe.

Win7, DW CS6, Find and Replace, Problem: The "Done or Found" message is cut off based on your SEARCH dropdown choice.

The Find and Replace "Done or Found" message is partially cut off for "Search" dropdown choices "Source Code, Text, Text (Advanced), but not for "Specific Tag". It appears to be a programming bug sizing the "Find" and "Replace" text boxes too big for the "find and Replace" window. Has anyone else encountered this problem.

Excuse me for resurrecting this, but I have been living with this same issue, and many more issues (I won't list them here), since migrating to CS5 (understood this thread is for CS6. However, my post is relevant none the less). If anyone has the fix I would love to know what they found. But sadly, I doubt there is one.
My system and display settings are also Win7 at 100% display. When doing a Find and Replace I can barely see what the results are for how many occurrences in the find window because the bottom is cutting off half of the text, just like the OP screen shot above. If the results reads "Done. 2 items found" it can easily be mistaken for "Done. 3 items found" if I don't study it carefully because of the bottom half of the "2" is cut off.
I don't want to rant here, but I will a little which I'll confess is the real purpose of my post. I am so disappointed in Adobe for so many different bugs in their software suite which they choose not to address, or even acknowledge as existing. I've had their tech support on the phone while they were recording my screen as I recreated issues for them, they never got back to me on any of them. I just got lip service how their engineers are looking into it and they'll get back to me. This of course was when CS5 still had free support under warranty.
At this point I'm numb to it all and I'm stuck using their software because I'm used to it, which ultimately is their goal anyway I'm sure. You win Adobe.
BTW...if anyone replies, please do not suggest the basic troubleshooting steps. All of the issues I've had exists after multiple re-installs on formatted hard drives and on both of my PCs made by two different manufacturers with different hardware specs (both exceeded min hardware requirements). Not to mention been through various techniques while on the phone with them..
Ahh... I feel better now.

Finder and harddrive disappear...??? ("Hot-Plugging"?)

Hi there,
I just installed and connect my new My Book Home 500 gb harddrive, and have been having some issues. First, I partitioned the drive into three equal sizes, on FAT32, and Two Mac OS extended journal ed, one for time machine, and one for the Mac HD. The problem though is that when I boot with the drive connected, my finder and harddrive don't show up, and the boot time is about 3 times as long (about 1.5 minutes). When I boot and then connect the drive, it takes about 30 seconds to boot, and all the drives show up. I've heard about the "hot-plugging", but I'm not completely sure about it. Does is mean that I should boot with the drive connected, or is it safe to just plug it in after booting. (I know that I need to eject the disks before I unplug or turn off the device.)
I guess my other question would be, if it is safe to boot with the drive connected how can I get around the issue of my finder and all harddrives missing?
Thanks

I don't know if this would still apply to newer Macs (MBP or otherwise) and external firewire or USB drives, but some time ago, there was an Apple support document that there could be issues such as yours if you leave an external drive mounted/plugged in while the Mac is either in sleep mode or shut down, something to do with the system having a problem with the startup order.
Although I've since acquired another iMac and a new MBP, I still do what I've done since reading that article: unmount/unplug my external drive when I'm done using it (before letting Mac sleep or shutting it down) and I've never experienced any of my Macs not recognizing any of my externals. When I need to use the external, I turn its' power on, plug in the cable and, voila, the icons are on my desktop.
You might try this (it is certainly safe!) and see if that takes care of your problem.

IPhoto and Finder folders don't agree

I have several albums in iPhoto that for some reason are different to the ones in my Home Finder folders. When I print (Canon PIxma) the printer always selects photos from the Finder and displays them on my desktop.
How can I get my albums to show correctly in the Finder?

Jack
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
For 10.5 users: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto. With 10.5 you can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

Disk Utility and Info do not agree on capacity Used?

Hi.
Macbook pro 13' 2010.
120Gb SSD.
(320GB Harddrive in optical drive).
The SSD is used to mainly run O/S and has only 5 first tier files, The size of each from Info tabs are:
11.14GB
6.77GB
4.07GB
6.3MB
8.0KB
Total: 22GB approx.
Disc Utility tells me that: 99.58 used . 19.6 available.
Info tells me that: 36.06 used . 83.12 available.
Why is there such a great difference between the amount of disk space used?
Thanks
Patrick.

We use one windows machine and two mbp's (post 2012) at home. We have a modem *** router from a non apple vendor that airport utility finds and connects with absolute ease. But doesn't stay connected. The signal drops often, what can I do?

We use one windows machine and two mbp's (post 2012) at home. We have a modem *** router from a non apple vendor that airport utility finds and connects with absolute ease. But doesn't stay connected. The signal drops often, what can I do?

No, not all network clients -- only the two mac portables and they run together very rarely. The windows machine is hardwired to the modem router combo, and that's always sailing smooth. The mbp that is most used is perhaps 20 feet max from the router - and in another room. But it also happens when I take in into the same room as the router. On occassion, I have noticed while using network diagnostics, that one digit in the IP number sometimes appears to go awry. I then try to set up manually - and it works for a bit but is hugely erratic.
I rigged a hand me down airport express and set up a separate network for the two macs and it ran beautifully for some weeks, but that little piece is now dead and none of the retailers in my suburb seem to have one in stock. I don't want to be forced to buy an airport extreme and here in India, there's no trustworthy online ordering option.
The man from the ISP's been here several times and I don;t think it is a modem/dsl issue because the smartphone connects and the macbook drops when both are the same distance from the router? I am truly foxed and intensely irritated! :-(

I'm trying to find out how to export my apple contacts to the Salesforce software and they need to be in a csv format and I don't know if this is possible and how to do it if it is?

I think there are third-party programs which will do that, but you can also do it with Automator:
See the links in my post, here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/22390873#22390873
The file or clipboard contents will be in Tab Separated vars, so you'll have to open with a spreadsheet program and save as Comma Separated Vars format.

When I try to buy something, I get an Apple-ID which is not the one I want to use, and I don't know how to get rid of it either, so that I can use my ID, which is in Mail, Contacts etc. The ID I get, I can't find, so that I can delete it. What to do?

When I try to buy something, I get an Apple-ID which is not the one I want to use, and I don't know how to get rid of it either, so that I can replace it with my ID in Mail, contacts etc. The ID I get without wanting it, I can't find anywhere. I have to delete it. How do I solve this problem, anyone?

My content was obtained through another ID, which popped up earlier. Now this one doesn't pop up, and my current ID doesn't pop up either, but another one. How do you find an ID which is not in the store, and not in Mail, contacts etc. either?
Or is it possible to write the ID yourself when you want to buy something, not only to have it popped up being unable to be changed?

How can I find an audio book on my 4th gen shuffle? Can't find it even when it's set to play in order. Tried setting it to Sync audiobooks but a warning says 'do you want to remove existing songs from other itunes library? and I don't want to do this.

How can I find an audiobook on my 4th gen shuffle? Can't find it even when I play in order. When I try to tick Sync audiobooks it asks if I want to continue to remove existing music befoer syncing and I don't want to do that. Can anyone help?

Did you already load the audiobook manually (by dragging it to the shuffle)? To confirm that the audiobook is on the shuffle...
Select the shuffle in the iTunes sidebar. If the sidebar (along left side of window) is not visible, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
Click the small triangle to the left of the shuffle name (in the sidebar) to drop down its content list, indented below the shuffle. Click on Audiobooks there. To the right, your audiobook(s) should be listed.
NOTE: if you don't see Audiobooks on the content list, there are no audiobooks on the shuffle.
When you turn ON the shuffle, you are playing from the default All Songs list. Audiobooks (and podcasts) do not play from the All Songs list. You need to use VoiceOver to select the audiobook from the playlist menu. This document explains how to set up and use VoiceOver on your shuffle
