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.

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?

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..

Why is the date changed when I move files to an external drive

The date of my files is changed when I move them to my external Lacie drive.
Is there a way to prevent this?

Hi Luuk, and a Warm Welcome to Apple Discussions and the Power Mac G5 Forum!
This may be of interest
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1463652#1463652
The date is retained in 10.4.8 here, on both a copy and a move to an external firewire drive.
Repairing Permissions in Disk Utility was another fix.

Colors in parade do not change when I move the Temperature slider.

I am trying to do the speed grade tutorial, but the color does not change when I move the temperature slider.

It might be nice to know which "issue" of Sg you're using.There have been issues where the colors "lag" while using a slider/control, but typically when you let "up" on the control, the adjustment is "there". From your comment, am I correct in assuming that the controls simply don't do anything even after you've moved them? And of course ... when you "move" them, you do see the indicator on the slider-line move, right?

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

P.S.
IMHO you already have the best in Hardware and software. It would be a pity to give away that gem

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.

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?

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.

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".
Be well...

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,
Rajesh Rapaka.

Why does stroke color change when i move layers?

ok, i have a lavendar box with black stroke on green layer. on blue layer i have everything else: text, lighter lavendar bg, graphics. when i move the box on top of the bg layer, it looks fine, see below
but i need for the small box to be underneath the graphic. wheni move the green layer below the blue layer, the black stroke becomes gray:
how can i keep it black?

Is this the box where you changed the opacity by movingthe slider in the Effects panel? That creates a transparent condition and the black border may also be taking on the transparency, depending on if you selected Object or Fill while moving the slider.
In any case, I don't think you want transparency in this position at all, and that your fill should be a solid color, as should the stroke. If you want the fill to be a tint of another color, make a swatch of that color and either create a tint swatch from that (a good idea since you can easily apply it lots of places), or fill the object with the swatch, then move the opcity slider in the SWATCHES panel to adjust the tint.

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

Color and size changed when upgraded to photoshop CS5

Hi, I created a flyer in an older version of photoshop and when I upgraded to CS5 the colors and print size changed. This is particularly distirbing b/c this is a flyer/advertisment for work that was almost at the final stage. They are quite small changes, but changes that need to be corrected just the same. The colors look different (duller) on the screen and in print while the size became smaller when I print (to pdf and the printer). My print settings are the same as before as are my color settings (CMYK). I am fairly new at creating flyers in photoshop, so I am hoping this is a simple fix. Thanks.

Are you 100% certain you are using the same color profiles throughout? That print size issue might be specific to your printer driver... CS5 has a completely rewritten print handling which may not correctly cooperate with your printer driver or conversely the driver might need to be updated...
