Folder size changes when copied

I bought two identical external hard drives.  They are both formatted the same - Mac OS extended journaled. 
When I copy some large folders from one drive to the other, and then check their exact sizes with get-info, sometimes they are identical and sometimes they are different, usually in a small amount.
Should I be worried that I'm losing some data?  Or is it common that folders are not read accurately to the last bit, but that they are in fact identical?

Really?  I'm the only person who has ever seen this?  I make a copy of a large folder from one Mac extended journaled drive to another Mac extended journaled drive and the new copy is slightly different in size, per get-info?
Surely I'm not the only person encountering this...
Can anyone advise?

  • Folder size changes when it moves to my capsule

    I copied files from my WD external hard disk and the folder I moved now is smaller in size and has a different (higher) file count. Is this normal?

    You need to look at the files.. actually see what files are added.. Apple adds a couple of small files to its directories.. indexes.. these won't show up unless you turn on show hidden files.
    Files can also take more or less room.. depending on the sector size in the disk.
    Just check that the files are same.. even if the size on disk is different.
    Open a get info for a file on the WD.. and look at the actual file size.. that is what matter.
    730,991 bytes (733 KB on disk)
    When the file is copied to a disk it will fill up to the end of the sector.. so there is also a size on disk.. it is different.

  • Image size changes when moving an image between Lightroom and CC.

    Image size changes when moving an image between Lightroom and CC.
    I opened a .dng image in LR and then opened it in the Develop module.  I clicked on Crop Overlay and then on the ‘As Shot’ drop down menu (the lock is closed) and cropped to 11 x 17 and clicked ‘Done’-.
    I click Cntl-E and the image opens in CC.  There I click on Image > Image Size and the Image Size  is 13.288 inches by 20.533 inches.
    Why does the image size change?
    I believe there is a menu to control the size of the image and I've looked everywhere I can think of in LR and CC, I googled various descriptions and I checked two of Scott Kelby's books, but I just can't figure out how to keep the image a consistent size when moving between LR and CC.
    Help!...Please?

    The penny will drop soon or maybe the cloud will lift.
    In Lightroom all editing is undoable/nondestructive.
    Hence a crop of 3x2 is not inches, centimetres, pixels or anything else. It is jst a ratio. When a file is exported, either to PS or disk, then the crop ratio has size determined in respect of pixels and inches or cms.
    So my 6000x5000 pixel image I will crop to 3x2 that leaves (before exporting) a 6000x4000 file.
    Now when exported it can be set to export at
    100pixels per inch and will end up at 60x40" when printed.
    200pixels per inch will end up at 30x20"
    300ppi will end at 20x13.3"
    You will notice in the Crop Tool there are no size denominations such as inches or centimetres as an image file only has pixels and the determination of size is done through exporting or printing.
    Hope that helps somewhat..

  • My font sizes change when I send e-mails from Apple Mail.

    My font sizes change when I send e-mails in Apple Mail.  Sometimes the font style changes, too.
    This is unacceptable, as I use my e-mail for business applications. 
    Any suggestions for a fix?
    Thank you.

    Before you do that I must warn you that also with PC is the same.
    It's not the hardware nor the software that makes the difference, because e-mail must obey to certain rules that is RFC.
    Maybe what you are looking for is a message that looks like a web page.
    You can find something of that kind here.
    http://www.jumsoft.com/stationery/
    But again, the recipient e-mail could have little differences from the original that depend on many variables
    If you are curious enough to know a little more about electronic mail you can read this page
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Email
    P.S.
    IMHO you already have the best in Hardware and software. It would be a pity to give away that gem

  • After copying a file from NTFS to HFS volume, file size changed when viewing in Windows

    Hi guys,
    I have a Mac Air running Mavericks on a HFS partition and Windows 7 on a BOOTCAMP NTFS partition. I have some files that I want to read/write from/to both systems. Since OS X can't write NTFS and Windows can't write HFS either, and I don't want to use any 3rd-party tools/drivers, I have to adopt a "stupid" way: in OS X, I copy those files from NTFS to its HFS partition, make changes, then switch to Windows and sync them back to NTFS.
    The problem is, after I copied a file from NTFS to HFS in OS X, it seemed ok. But when I switched to Windows, the very copied file in HFS partition had its size changed (bigger) although I didn't make any changes to it in OS X yet. This happens to almost every file I copied, text and binary. For those text files, I tried to open it with EditPlus in Windows and EditPlus reports the correct size on the status bar.
    How could this happen?

    I am not sure if this is what your seeing but...
    The same unaltered file on two different volumes might use different amounts of disk space. This is because a 'disk' is divided in to 'blocks' and a block (also historically known as a 'sector') is a certain minimum size. So if disk-1 has a block size of 512 bytes and disk-2 has a block size of 1024 bytes then a file containing just 10 bytes will use up twice as much space on disk-2 as disk-1 even though it is the exact same file.
    Beyond that, Macs can add additional information like Spotlight tags, labels, icons, etc. which make a file bigger. If you are modifying a file then presumably that also implies adding additional content e.g. for a Word document more text and this will make it bigger. Also depending on some programs are configured or designed 'deleting' text may only mark it as deleted and not really delete. This can apply to older versions of Word which has a 'Fast Save' feature, new versions have removed this and do a proper delete.
    You would have to give more details like what you are doing to the document, what kind of document, and what the two sizes are.
    Finally, there is one other potential difference, some systems and manufacturers use 1024 as a unit for measuring file and disk sizes, some use 1000. It will be the same number of bytes in each case but 1000 bytes in one case would exactly equal 1MB, and in the other it would be 0.9765MB.

  • Photo size changes when printing

    This is my problem. When I view a photo in my event, I am happy with the image. When I go to print, I find that parts of my image are cut off. It looks like the image zoomed in a little. How can I print the image exactly like it is displayed in the event? Also, this doesn't seem to change when I print different sizes, parts of the original image are always missing on the print.

    Crop the photo to 11 x 14 before printing. That will insure that what you see in the cropped image will end up in the printed 11 x 14 image.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • HP LaserJet MFP M476dw paper size mismatch when copying or scanning from ADF

    We have HP Color LaserJet MFP M476dw that has an issue when copying or scanning from the ADF. 
    Put a single A4 sheet in the ADF and choose copy, with all settings correct & no resizing, and the output copy is moved down the page (increased top marging by a couple of inches).
    My initial thoughts were a paper size issue (e.g. treating A4 as Letter or vice versa) but all settings look correct.  I have even done a reset and started over and the problem remains.
    If I take the original and place it on the flatbed and copy from there with all the same settings then it works fine.
    There is a similar issue when scanning from the ADF.  Again, scanning from the flatbed works fine.
    I've tried all I can think of.  Does anyone have any further suggestions?  Could it be a fault in the ADF?

  • Font changes when copy and paste url (Safari to Mail)

    When copy from iphone 5 (vs 7.1.2-& no I don't want to update yet ) Safari, a URL/web address and paste into MAIL app, the font changes and won't paste in the same format as the email I've been typing. Is there any way to correct this? Also, anything I type after the paste keeps that same "other" format, when I want what I had started email in to stay the same.
    I tho't I"d look at some settings and under iphone Accessibiilty I have Larger Text ON and Bold Text chosen, and Reduce Motion ON. Under GENERAL and TEXT SIZE I have it set to 4th choice up. I don't see any MAIL settings re FONT. Would any of these be the cause?

    OK, I think I found another way to describe my issue:
    When I copy text from a webpage in Safari, some form of "meta-information", or formatting data, is kept, and when I paste into MS Word, the formatting from the webpage is retained. In my default setup of Firefox, this formatting meta-information is not retained, it only copies the plain-text.
    So my question is actualy: How do I prevent Safari from retaining formatting data, and only copy the plain-text?
    I have been testing some clipboard managers, and have yet to find one that will auto-filter out formatting data from text that I copy, but they can after interaction.
    The other, current, method I have been using is to:
    1. select and copy the text in Safari
    2. paste text into notepad
    3. select and copy text from notepad
    4. paste de-formatted text into MS Word
    Or in Firefox:
    1. select and copy the text in Firefox
    2. paste text into MS Word (no formatting retained)

  • Why are my colors changing when copy and paste a graphic from docA to docB both in illustrator?

    Both documents in Illustrator CC are RGB and I'm trying to copy a logo onto a template, but the color of the logo completely changes when I copy and paste it into the template. The logo has three different pinks and they turn red when pasted. There is no graphic styling and the logo is all gradient.

    What is weird is that we get a lot of logos from the same company and we put it on shirt templates so they can see size wise on how it would look on shirts. It's happened with other logos, but very slightly. I asked my co-worker who sends me the logos what version she uses and she also uses CC but does not know what version the other company uses. To them, it doesn't matter if the logo colors get altered, they have the PMS colors to work off of for screen printing. I just want to make sure that if another company sends us logos with PMS colors, we will know how to fix it.

  • Gradient and text, changes when copied

    Hi, this is a CS3 document, exported in IDML for CS4.
    The price has no transparency, no other effects.
    When copied, the value stays the same but the visual changes. Any ideas?
    This thing happen in CS5 also but not in CS3.
    Thanks
    EDIT: if i change the first to -89 and then to -90, doesn't work. If i copy the third (that is now visually correct), the gradient stay normal.

    It looks like InDesign has repositioned the gradient within the text. Think of a gradient without the text masking it, as a rectangle that fades from yellow to green. With the Gradient tool you can click and drag to define the angle and size of that rectangle. The text then masks the rectangle so only the part within the text shows. I think InDesign did not reposition the text and the gradient properly when you pasted. You can highlight the text, then switch to the Gradient tool and drag to reposition the gradient. Unfortunately there is no way to make this part of a character style or paragraph style.

  • Slide size change when clicking on pdf links (Acrobat 9 pro)

    Hello,
    I have a problem with an interface mock up I have to deliver to a client.
    The size of image is changing from a slide to another.
    For example, when I click on a home button (this button is a link made in acrobat pro, that send to another page of the pdf document), the slide size changes from full screen to a smaller size with a black border around.
    SOrry it's hard to explain, so I put 2 screenshots and hope it will be clear enough >
    This happen only if I use clicks on the links.
    If I just use the next / previous command (for example if I use keyboard's arrows), the size remain full screen and unchanged for the whole slides.
    Can you tell me how to fix this problem?
    Best regards,
    Mega

    Something to try.
    Using the link tool select the link.
    View the link's properties.
    Select the Actions tab.
    Select the show action then click the Edit button.
    Observe what is displayed.
    You'll note that you can configure the value for "zoom".

  • How Image size changes when zoomed ?

    Hi,
    I am using the following method code to zoom-in and zoom-out my images.
        public void zoom(double zoomFac) {
            this.zoomFac = zoomFac;
            atx.setToScale(zoomFac, zoomFac); // global attribute AffineTrasform
            ParameterBlock pb = new ParameterBlock();
            pb.addSource(getDefaultOrjImage());
            pb.add(atx);
            pb.add(Interpolation.getInstance(Interpolation.INTERP_BICUBIC_2));
            rImage = JAI.create("affine", pb);
            repaint();
            this.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(rImage.getWidth(), rImage.getHeight()));
            updateUI();
        }One can notice that I am using Bicubic interpolation for the purpose.
    I want to predict the size of Image for a given zoom factor. How can I do this?
    I've seen the algorithm of Bicubic Interpolation, but coulndt figure out how I can use its details to predict the size change of the image.
    clearly speaking if my image's
    width = 512, height = 512,
    What will be the width and height when the image is zoomed with zoomFac = 1.2
    Thank u for ur time.
    Regards,

    The penny will drop soon or maybe the cloud will lift.
    In Lightroom all editing is undoable/nondestructive.
    Hence a crop of 3x2 is not inches, centimetres, pixels or anything else. It is jst a ratio. When a file is exported, either to PS or disk, then the crop ratio has size determined in respect of pixels and inches or cms.
    So my 6000x5000 pixel image I will crop to 3x2 that leaves (before exporting) a 6000x4000 file.
    Now when exported it can be set to export at
    100pixels per inch and will end up at 60x40" when printed.
    200pixels per inch will end up at 30x20"
    300ppi will end at 20x13.3"
    You will notice in the Crop Tool there are no size denominations such as inches or centimetres as an image file only has pixels and the determination of size is done through exporting or printing.
    Hope that helps somewhat..

  • Line size changes when using Rotate??

    Hello:                                                                           Level: Newbie OS: Windows 7 64bit
    So, I have been using the Line tool and then Grouping two Lines and then using the Object > Transform > Rotate
    The lines I draw are 0px wide and 22px high but when I Rotate them around the circle the Line sizes change ... ??
    Say the two lines are Grouped and the first set is 276px the next set becomes say 276.346 and then 275.582 and 198.682 and so on ...
    I have gone into the Tranform pallette to see if there is something I should be checking but it doesn't seem as though I am missing anything to the best of my (limited) knowledge.
    I have also tried the manual and looked for something like: "why line size would change on rotate" and I've looked under Transform and Rotate but I haven't had any luck.
    As always ... Thank you so much for your time

    OMG! LMAO!! I am literally laughing my _ _ _ off!!
    Sooo Sorry, did i forget to mention that I am dyslexic?? wasn't trying to be cunning ... lol
    Also, and ... Pleeeeease Forgive Me for this ... I didn't take into account that you would actually check the 276.346 ... etc. in my first post ... thought I had mentioned those were just "examples" ... seems It didn't make it from my head to the keyboard to the post
    I just pulled those number outta that thing I'm laughing off ... and now between the tears of laughter I am feeling Super Bad for not considering that those numbers would matter all that much ... I swear ... I'm not usually this numb!
    So, I spoke to someone at Adobe today and it seems as though I am not Aligning things correctly.
    I'm just getting back home again and I'm going to give the tut a go again.
    I'm using CS6 .... have I also mentioned this is my first Illustrator attempt?
    Below is the compass I made in two days ... it's missing the last two steps. I'm also stuck on that dang "Glossy" thing but hey, that's an other post for me to lead you all astray on
    My head has been a bit in the clouds this past week ... so,  I am sorry for that and certainly do Very Much Appreciate Your Amazing Vigilance w/All My Heart!!
    I just cannot give up. I'm not a quitter. I believe I ought to brush up on my (p. poor) math skills as well as sitting down to read the manual front and back before an other tut attempt.
    Thank you again for Everything!! I'll be back to let you know how it goes.
    The inner circles and increments don't look right to me

  • Adobe Reader, MS Office window size changing when switching displays

    I have a current generation (mid 2012) MBP with Retina Display running ML 10.8.3. I also have a Dell U2413 monitor, confgured for
    1920x1200 resolution, connected via a Thunderbolt to Display Port cable that came with the monitor.
    When I switch displays, Adobe reader, Excel, and Powerpoint all have their window sizes change dramatically. Reader
    shrinks to just the status bar and is tucked in the very bottom left hand corner (it took me quite some time to even see it
    was there at all); Excel windows expand dramatically to be much larger than full screen, and Powerpoint windows shrink
    to about 1.5" square. Other windows (Mail, Chrome, Safari, iTunes) change or move slightly but are more or less OK.
    I know this problem is expected when switching to an external monitor with dramatically lower resolution (e.g. old In Focus
    projectors) but I don't believe it should happen with a hi-res monitor like the one I'm using.
    I have compared this behaviour with other users running same SW versions and external monitors with the same
    resoultion and they don't see this problem so I'm guessing there's some configuration option or low level setting
    that is messed up.
    These window size changes happen going both from internal to external and external to internal. Any ideas?
