Get Info folder size is incorrect/too large

I am getting an incorrect report from the Get Info command that one the folders in my 8TB array is topping 15TB! In fact, this folder only contains data (Red movie files) that amount to about 800GB total. This problem, in turn, is preventing me from copying that directory to a backup drive, as it is seen as being too large, which it is not.
Of course this is impossible, as my array, as mentioned above, is only 8TB. And when I do a Get Info on the array drive icon itself, it reads correctly, listing the Capacity as 8TB, and the Available space at 1.8TB. So, it's just the folders that are being read incorrectly.
I have not enabled or set up Time Machine, so I do not think that is the issue.
I am new to Macs and really have no clue how to remedy this situation.
ANY help would be appreciated.

Thank you for the response, Eric. I've already tried that. Didn't make a difference.
Since I can't afford to wait for this to be solved, and because I don't know how to solve this issue myself, I've gone ahead and deleted the offending folder, created a new folder with a different name, and re-populated it with output files from Davinci Resolve. In effect, I rendered my project out again from scratch. Unfortunately the same **** thing is happening! I'm creating a populated folder that Get Info reports as being 16 Terabytes, on an 8 Terabyte array!
(*sigh*)

Hi muthu,
// inserted value too large for column
When your oracle insertion throws this error, it implies that some value that you are trying to insert into the table is larger than the allocated size.
Just check the format of your table and the respective size of each field on your oracle cleint by using the command,
DESCRIBE <tablename> .
and then verify it with the input. I dont think the problem is with the DATE format because if it is not a valid date format, you would have got on error like
String Literal does not match type
Hope this helps,

Copied Files To HDD - 'Get Info' File Sizes are different?

Hi All ---
-- not sure how to put it any other way.....maybe this is a normal thing?
I've copied 161.78Gigs of data from the P.B. to Lacie HDD but 'Get Info' on target disk is only reading 161.61Gigs - all files seem to be in place, seem to be copied, working etc --- but thats about 17megs of info missing somewhere?
Uh, what gives?
should i trash, and re-do the whole lot again? hmm.
thnx for any help in Adv ----
John W.

Hi Joe ---
Thanks for that - have been offline since yest. -- seems the main P.B. drive decided to go AWOL on me - but just overnight though? No clue whats going on there -- have repaired disk, permissions, run onyx, etc..... just didnt want to boot, occasionally would boot from Ext. HDD - Drive Icon vanished, all sorts of nonsense.... and then returned this a.m. as if nothing had ever happened.
I reckon HD is on its way out.... hmm.
I'm now getting lots of beachballs. v. boring. Everything is backed up externally TWICE now (& cloned Drive TWICE??) - onto two separate drives - am just going to erase, reformat P.B. before reinstalling 10.3 & 10.3.9 -- off to see a Doctor/Repairman tomorrow.
thanks for the link -- will def. have a go with that in the future.

IPad music app: album count incorrect/too large in artist view

Hello,
My problem isn't critical, but it is really annoying. My third generation iPad is showing incorrect album counts for artists under artist view in the Apple music app.
For example, I have just one Coldplay album (Viva La Vida) uploaded to my iPad, but the music app reads the following under the album/artwork in artist view: "10 songs, 15 albums".
I have turned the iPad on and off. I have done a hard reset (by holding home and power button down until iPad shuts off and then tirns on again). I have restored the iPad from a back up through iTunes. I have restored it to factory settings through iTunes and set it up as a new iPad. I have erased the iPad using the iPad "settings/general/reset/erase all contents and settings" option. I have synced the iPad with iTunes and utilized the music tab to replace the music on the iPad. I have uploaded the albums through the iTunes store. I have synced them from my computer.
NONE of these options have worked. They all result in incorrect album counts.
This seems to be a problem which surfaced after I upgraded to iOS6, but I am not sure if that is what caused the issue.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Cubulous

This is some sort of issue with iOS6. There are several threads (and theories) as to why this is happening. But the bottom line is, Apple needs to correct the problem.
One person indicated that the actual number of albums (by a particular artist) in his iTunes Library was the number of albums indicated on the iPad, regardless of the number of albums he chose to sync. In other words, if I have 10 albums by artist "ABC" in my iTunes Library, but chose to sync only 5 of them, the iPad would still indicate 10 albums by "ABC" (because it's looking to the iTunes Library for the album count instead of the number of actual albums that were synched to the iPad). While that theory makes sense, I found it to be somewhat untrue, at least in my case.
What I discovered is, if you rename or make a change to any of the metadata associated with a track from a particular album, then that album is duplicated when you sync, displaying the original album tracks (sans the one or two you changed) under the album name and a second version is created (using the exact same album name) but displaying only the track or tracks you modified. This in turn, increases your album count by one. So instead of showing the entry as just one album, the count now reads two for the same title. To make things even more confusing, if you go back and modify both versions of the album, successully combining the two back into one, so to speak (this can be done by renaming the artist to some other name, synching, then renaming it back to the correct artist), the album will then display correctly (just one "vesrion" showing on the iPad), but the album count remains unchanged (still indicating two). Basically, the count isn't reset, but remains incorrect.
Hopefully, I didn't confuse everyone. But it's difficult to explain. From everything I've read, it appears to be a combination of things; Album count and display, as well as creating additional album "instances" if any tracks are modified.
In any event, I hope they fix it soon. Because if you have a large music library like mine, it takes no time to really screw things up!

File Size of .mov too large

I captured 1 hour of footage using a Sony HDV AIU and Dony Mini DV Premium (DVM 60) tapes. When importing into FCP using "ProRes 422 (LT)" as the capture preset, the .mov file that is produced in capture scratch is over 30 GB.
My question is:
A. Is there a superior capture preset that I can use to generate a smaller .mov file from the get-go?
or
B. What compression settings should I use that would allow me to fit the final file on a DVD (not to play, just as a file transfer to another computer)

Welcome to digital video! your options are to capture as HDV, which is a really crappy format or prores LT. As far as migrating the footage to another computer, use portable drives. They're cheap as dirt these days. Get used to buying them for your clients. They expect it.

IChat font sizes show up too large on other computers

Has anyone else seen an issue with iChat 4's fonts showing up considerably larger on other people's (usually Windows-based) computers? I'm using the default Helvetica 12 and it shows up at least 2px larger on other's screens.
If I make the font closer to 10, it shows up fine on other's screens. Then of course, it seems to small on my end.
Any ideas?

Most likely the differences between a Macs 72pixels per inch and the PC settings default is 96 pixels
No one has complained to me about this.
It may of course be that they are defaulting to a different font because they don't have the one you are sending.

Finder won't display folder size in "Size" column or Info window

Normally, the Finder window will display a folder's size in the Size column. However, I have one folder which shows as "Zero KB" in the Size column. When I open the General Info window, the Size reads as "Zero KB on disk (Zero bytes) for 0 items."
In order to get the folder size I have to go into the folder, select all folders (there's many), then with either the Summary Info or Inspector window, it'll show the folder size ("185.32 GB on disk").
Why is this occurring in only this folder? Is it because it's a large folder or a folder with many subfolders?
I'm running Snow Lep 10.6.2. The folder is on an external drive in FAT32 format. I've already tried deleting the "com.apple.finder.plist" file and rebooting.
Thanks for any help.

go to view menu->show view options and check the box 'calculate all sizes". then click "use as defaults".

ITunes Folder Size and DVD Burn

Not sure whether this is the right category. I'll put it in "iTunes", too.
Got Sony DVDs. 4.7GB.
When I click on the iTunes folder and "Get Info", it's shows 4.6GB in it.
Try to drag and drop it in order to burn it onto a DVD for backup and get a message saying it's too large a file for the disk. I should delete some tunes.
Check the amount of GB available on the disk in Disk Utility. Says "0". Tried three of them with the same result. Not sure what this means.
Also: when I put the disks into the drive, the icon that shows up as a folder with a burn symbol on it. Not a disk symbol.
I'm really not sure what this stuff means. I could start deleting songs/albums from iTunes...but not sure whether that's the problem.
The file should be able to fit onto the DVD. (?)
Thanks for your time.

When you burn a DVD or a CD a directory has to be created on it so that the computer will know what is on the media. This takes a certain amount of the available space. I don't know how much of the space it takes as it depends upon the size of the directory. With the total of your library being so close to the rated capacity of the disk there probably isn't enough room for a directory to be created.
You will need to reduce the size of your library in order to do the burn.

"Backup is too large for the backup volume" error

I've been backing up with TM for a while now, and finally it seems as though the hard drive is full, since I'm down to 4.2GB available of 114.4GB.
Whenever TM tries to do a backup, it gives me the error "This backup is too large for the backup volume. The backup requires 10.8 GB but only 4.2GB are available. To select a larger volume, or make the backup smaller by excluding files, open System Preferences and choose Time Machine."
I understand that I have those two options, but why can't TM just erase the oldest backup and use that free space to make the new backup? I know a 120GB drive is pretty small, but if I have to just keep accumulating backups infinitely, I'm afraid I'll end up with 10 years of backups and a 890-zettabyte drive taking up my garage. I'm hoping there's a more practical solution.

John,
Please review the following article as it might explain what you are encountering.
*_“This Backup is Too Large for the Backup Volume”_*
First, much depends on the size of your Mac’s internal hard disk, the quantity of data it contains, and the size of the hard disk designated for Time Machine backups. It is recommended that any hard disk designated for Time Machine backups be +at least+ twice as large as the hard disk it is backing up from. You see, the more space it has to grow, the greater the history it can preserve.
*Disk Management*
Time Machine is designed to use the space it is given as economically as possible. When backups reach the limit of expansion, Time Machine will begin to delete old backups to make way for newer data. The less space you provide for backups the sooner older data will be discarded. [http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/15137.html]
However, Time Machine will only delete what it considers “expired”. Within the Console Logs this process is referred to as “thinning”. It appears that many of these “expired” backups are deleted when hourly backups are consolidated into daily backups and daily backups are consolidated into weekly backups. This consolidation takes place once hourly backups reach 24 hours old and daily backups reach about 30 days old. Weekly backups will only be deleted, or ‘thinned’, once the backup drive nears full capacity.
One thing seems for sure, though; If a new incremental backup happens to be larger than what Time Machine currently considers “expired” then you will get the message “This backup is too large for the backup volume.” In other words, Time Machine believes it would have to sacrifice to much to accommodate the latest incremental backup. This is probably why Time Machine always overestimates incremental backups by 2 to 10 times the actual size of the data currently being backed up. Within the Console logs this is referred to as “padding”. This is so that backup files never actually reach the physically limits of the backup disk itself.
*Recovering Backup Space*
If you have discovered that large unwanted files have been backed up, you can use the Time Machine “time travel” interface to recovered some of that space. Do NOT, however, delete files from a Time Machine backup disk by manually mounting the disk and dragging files to the trash. You can damage or destroy your original backups by this means.
Additionally, deleting files you no longer wish to keep on your Mac does not immediately remove such files from Time Machine backups. Once data has been removed from your Macs' hard disk it will remain in backups for some time until Time Machine determines that it has "expired". That's one of its’ benefits - it retains data you may have unintentionally deleted. But eventually that data is expunged. If, however, you need to remove backed up files immediately, do this:
Launch Time Machine from the Dock icon.
Initially, you are presented with a window labeled “Today (Now)”. This window represents the state of your Mac as it exists now. +DO NOT+ delete or make changes to files while you see “Today (Now)” at the bottom of the screen. Otherwise, you will be deleting files that exist "today" - not yesterday or last week.
Click on the window just behind “Today (Now)”. This represents the last successful backup and should display the date and time of this backup at the bottom of the screen.
Now, navigate to where the unwanted file resides. If it has been some time since you deleted the file from your Mac, you may need to go farther back in time to see the unwanted file. In that case, use the time scale on the right to choose a date prior to when you actually deleted the file from your Mac.
Highlight the file and click the Actions menu (Gear icon) from the toolbar.
Select “Delete all backups of <this file>”.
*Full Backup After Restore*
If you are running out of disk space sooner than expected it may be that Time Machine is ignoring previous backups and is trying to perform another full backup of your system? This will happen if you have reinstalled the System Software (Mac OS), or replaced your computer with a new one, or hard significant repair work done on your exisitng Mac. Time Machine will perform a new full backup. This is normal. [http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1338]
You have several options if Time Machine is unable to perform the new full backup:
A. Delete the old backups, and let Time Machine begin a fresh.
B. Attach another external hard disk and begin backups there, while keeping this current hard disk. After you are satisfied with the new backup set, you can later reformat the old hard disk and use it for other storage.
C. Ctrl-Click the Time Machine Dock icon and select "Browse Other Time Machine disks...". Then select the old backup set. Navigate to files/folders you don't really need backups of and go up to the Action menu ("Gear" icon) and select "Delete all backups of this file." If you delete enough useless stuff, you may be able to free up enough space for the new backup to take place. However, this method is not assured as it may not free up enough "contiguous space" for the new backup to take place.
*Outgrown Your Backup Disk?*
On the other hand, your computers drive contents may very well have outgrown the capacity of the Time Machine backup disk. It may be time to purchase a larger capacity hard drive for Time Machine backups. Alternatively, you can begin using the Time Machine Preferences exclusion list to prevent Time Machine from backing up unneeded files/folders.
Consider as well: Do you really need ALL that data on your primary hard disk? It sounds like you might need to Archive to a different hard disk anything that's is not of immediate importance. You see, Time Machine is not designed for archiving purposes, just as a backup of your local drive(s). In the event of disaster, it can get your system back to its' current state without having to reinstall everything. But if you need LONG TERM storage, then you need another drive that is removed from your normal everyday working environment.
This KB article discusses this scenario with some suggestions including Archiving the old backups and starting fresh [http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/15137.html]
Let us know if this clarifies things.
Cheers!
