Finder says "1.27PB available" NOT "200 GB". Why? What's the solution?

The Finder on my Mac says there is 1.27PB available on my internal hard disk instead of "200+GB available". Does anyone know why or what the solution is? The Finder does however display the available capacity on a portable drive correctly..

In the end I decided to contact Apple technical support and they talked me through an S.M.C. reset, a P.R.A.M. reset, directed me to run Disk Utility and do a check of the disk with Disk First Aid & Disk Permissions, and ultimately I was told I should boot up in recovery mode after Safe Mode showed the issue was systemwide, and reinstall O.S. X fresh from the closest Apple server and not use a copy of the installer for 10.10.1 I had saved, which meant my Mac was incapacitated for about 8 hours, but once it was finished the erroneous display of the available storage capacity issue had been eliminated.
There was another issue of having trouble downloading files, but when I acted on my idea of trying a different V.P.N. server than the one I had been using that issue disappeared too.
I don't know whether what you suggested would have made any difference to the issue, but my Mac works properly again so I am happy. I do however, appreciate your directing me to try what was suggested to you and I hope your Mac is going well too.
Cheers!

  • Audio and Video not synchronized...what's the solution?

    Hi,
    I was trying to record a video on my webcam (I think its Creative Gamestar) and during playback I noticed that the audio is playing slower than the video; in other words both are not synchronized...what could be the reason for this? Is there a solution.
    I used the DivX 6.0 video codec. The audio compressor was MP3 at 48,000 Hz, 6 bits, Stereo. Do I need to use something other codec? Please reply! The reason I used DivX was that the default codec was creative a 2Gb file for a 5 minute video.
    Looking forward to replies. Thanks in advance,
    Badfan.

    Hi John and techkid123
    We have 4 cameras here. 1 is Sony model HD1000 (since it works with Mini-DV cassete we need to capture the image via Firewire). 2 cameras are Sony HD2000 (it generates *.MPEG files if I remember well). And 1 camera is a Panasonic AG-DVC7 (it generates *.MTS files)
    We start a new project using the Standard NTSC Widescreen 48Khz format.  When we drag to the timeline for example the MTS file...Premiere ask us if we want to Keep and Change timeline to suit the file specification. Anyway we always have 1 or 2 camera files that has a yellow line over timeline.
    But I renders correct...no problem to edit...and we had no problem with Premiere CS5.5 :/
    We are downloading the latest update of Premiere. I´ll make some test and publish here if the problem persist.
    Thank you a lot for the help
    Gustavo.

  • When I click safari on my iMac it says my toolbar does not support this. What is the issue?

    My safari won't open. When I click it, the message says the toolbar does not support this. How can I fix safari?

    You installed the Conduit spyware. To remove it, back up all data, then follow these instructions.
    If the instructions don't work, proceed as follows.
    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Application Support/Conduit
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). From the Finder menu bar, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder…
    Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return. A Finder window should open with a folder named "Conduit" selected. If it does, delete the selected item.
    Repeat with this line:
    /Applications/Toolbars
    Now you're deleting a folder named "Toolbars". You may be prompted for your login password. Next, copy this line:
    /Library
    Select Go to Folder… again and paste. Don't delete the Library folder. Delete only the following items inside it, if they exist.
    Application Support/Conduit
    InputManagers/CTLoader
    LaunchAgents/com.conduit.loader.agent.plist
    ScriptingAdditions/ct_scripting.osax
    Close the Finder windows you opened. Log out and log back in.
    I've seen a report that Conduit may be bundled with a scam "utility" called "MacKeeper." If you installed MacKeeper, you should remove it according to the developer's instructions. It's worthless and causes many problems reported on this site.

  • My Canon 70D Camera software says it's not compatible with Yosemite- what is the solution?

    Just wondering if there is a fix for my canon 70 software incompatibility with Yosemite 10.10. 
    Message alert says cannot be used with this version of the operating system, and as a photographer, I may need a quick solution to this quickly. HELP!

    Well the Apple Tech was wrong, the card slot did not work either, it got 80% uploaded and said to check the silverlight version.  I guess it's a step backwards on the OS system for me until Canon gets the driver updated for Yosemite

  • Importing video from Sony HDR-CX410 FCP 6.0.6 will not recognise AVCHD files. what is the solution?

    First I have to admit I'm not technical in any way so I'm easily confused so please forgive me if my question sounds unprofessional.
    The computer is a Mac desk top tower with Lion OS x 2x2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon with an  internal hard drive plus a number of remote hard drives.
    I'm using Final cut pro 6.0.6 to edit video.
    The question is, up until now I've been using material shot on mini DV tapes, then digitised into the computer via the camera. As this format is getting long in the tooth I decided to get one of the latest DVCAM cameras, I went for the Sony HDR-CX410.
    It was not until I had purchased the camera & shot a few test seq. & then tried to down load into the computer that I found out that Final cut does not recognise the AVCHD files on the SD card.I've tried importing from the camera as well as a card reader with no result.
    I've looked at a number of sites including Apple support community where it looks like this is a major issue for many people but I can't find anyone who is using the same camera. I wondered if this issue is something you have covered in the magazine, if so please let me know which copy, if not can you help in any way. It appears that Final cut proX may be able to translate the AVCHD files but I'm not sure. Am I right in thinking that if I do upgrade to FCPX I will still have to convert the files, if so would you recommend a suitable software program.  Is there any reason why Apple make it so difficult to edit this AVCHD format when all the latest cameras are using it, perhaps its time to change back to a PC?

    Eric,
    FCP 6.0.2 (compared to previous version) comes with the latest improvement and support for AVCHD.
    However, here is a suggestion:
    In Log&Transfer (top frame) on the right of *search field* there are three buttons, click on the one showing a little arrow-down and a sort of little star. Choose preferences then in the *transcode to* section click on those two tiny arrows pointing one up and the other down and choose Apple Intermediate Codec. Can you now transfer? (Add selection to queue)
    Once again 6.0.2 might provide better support for your camera.
    Use the search tool for more info.
    G.
    PS. Please note that some people have had problems with 6.0.2 so get us much info as you can before updating.

    I had the same problem and my solution was to disable the PDF extension that came with Firefox 4 which belongs to another company. I found out that it wast interfering with ReaderX. I unabled it and restarted Firefox. I have had no problems since then. Go to Tools, Add-On and click on Extensions and disable the PDF extension. I hope this helps

    I have replied to you three times now without reply. I DID NOT authorise a payment of £9.99 for NowTV. What is the solution to getting my money refunded. I think you assume I will go away after being Ignored. No I will not go away. I find now that you have DISABLED MY APPLE ID. Is this a punishment you use to anyone who takes up a stand against charges being made unauthorised on their account?. Please tell me why you have disabled my account. When will my account be restored? If not when will you refund ALL my purchases made to APPLE/ITUNES? I can then move on to another brand and hopefully better customer service. After reading articles regarding APPLE ID DISABLED it appears common practice from your company to DISABLE anyone's account if they question unknown charges. Please reply with your intentions regarding  the unauthorised payment and the DISABLING of my account.

  • When I replaced my PC desktop with a Mac Mini and hooked up my HP printer to it, I discovered my other computers on the Wi-Fi network could no longer access the printer.  The manual says Maverick OS will not allow PC's to access the printer. Any thoughts?

    When I replaced my PC desktop with a Mac Mini and hooked up my HP printer to it, I discovered that my other computers on the Wi-Fi network could no longer access the printer.  The manual says Maverick OS will not allow PC's to share the printer. Does anyone else have this problem?  My printer does not have on-board Wi-Fi but, otherwise, works fine.  I shouldn't have to buy a new one.  Is there a OS patch out there that would open the printer port for my PC computers?

    I'm assuming that on the Mac, the System Preferences -> Sharing -> Printer Sharing -> [X] HP printer -> Everyone can print is selected?  That is to say, the Mac will allow anyone to print using the printer, and that you did not try to restrict who can print.
    How is your network configured?  Bonjour as a protocol will NOT cross a router boundary.  If you have 2 or more subnets active with the PCs on one subnet and the Mac on another, that would block the PCs from seeing the Mac.
    You could have multiple subnets if you have more than one router, such as an ISP provided broadband modem/router and another WiFi Router.  If the PCs are talking to one router and the Mac is talking to another, that could be a 2 subnet situation.  The additional routers must be put into bridge mode, which is done differently depending on the router.  But the basics are to diable DHCP and NAT services on the secondary router(s) having just one active router on the network.
    Also, using Bonjour Browser on my Mac, it is showing me that the printer is being advertised as using Internet Printing Protocol, so if that is something selectable on Windows, maybe you can bypass Bonjour on Windows.
