Has anyone else seen a huge increase (data loss?) in available disk space

I installed Mavericks on my Mid 2012 Air (i7, 512GB SSD) last night - all good, no problems, with the exception of fan running (as it did before). However, before I installed it, I had 17GB remaining on the disk. After installation, I magically had 99GB remaining. So, I thought, maybe it was still pulling cloud sync'd data in (Mail (huge), Evernote, Dropbox), and figured I would wait until this morning before getting worried about it. Well, now I have 113GB!! It doesnt seem to be getting larger, but I am very confused on what changed, and not sure how to even begin to understand if I lost data, or if the new OS just purged a sh*tload of cache or something from 10.8. If I click on power, where it now tells you apps using significant power, it has Spotlight listed always. Thoughts?? Thanks in advance

I have not observed any noticeable change on my systems but given Mavericks' dramatically improved RAM memory management, it is entirely possbile that a big chunk of what you are seeing is from reduced swapfile and cache file requirements. I suspect it will take a while before many (any?) of us comprehend the full impact of the changes.

After updating to IOs 5.0, my contacts updated in name only, not the information. Has anyone else seen this?

After updating to iOS 5.0 on my iPad2, my contacts updated in name only, the information (addresses, phones, etc.) is blank. Has anyone else seen this? The cloud has all the contact information intact.

No, no replies yet. Fortunately, I have all my contacts backed-up on Google. I haven't lost the data, just need to merge into my iPad contacts. Good luck with your call to Apple.

Hi
"Changed group membership in WGM 10.6.3 from the 10.6 server. The change takes overnight to work"
If I've understood you correctly I've never known this or anything else to take that long? What were you trying to do exactly?

Has anyone else seen rapportd (part of Trusteer Rapport control panel) reappear after being uninstalled?

Quite a few banks encourage customers to install Trusteer Rapport in order to enhance online security. My wife and I have had very different experiences using it, and I uninstalled it in 2011. An Uninstall applet comes with the Rapport installation, because the installer tucks things into many corners of the file system.
Anyway, this month I found in Activity Monitor that rapportd was running and was hogging more than 50% of CPU time! I verified that this was indeed a piece of Rapport and that it had caused similar problems for other users under 10.5 and 10.6. The solution was to turn off Rapport. But I had supposedly uninstalled it.
My bank routed me to Trusteer support, which was plodding and unhelpful. The support tech seemed utterly mystified. So I re-ran "Uninstall Rapport.app" which was still located in /Applications/Rapport (the only item in the folder). That seems to have taken care of the problem. I found that rapportd is supposed to live at /Library/Rapport/bin/rapportd and I verified that it is not there.
Has anyone else seen something like this? Has it peristed under 10.7?

Yes I have had problems w/ Insignia...(See post on defective TV) to say the least I would not purchase another one. After numerous service calls to the cable company, geek squad and complaints to the corporate office and BBB finally, the problem is being corrected. I will be picking up my new TV tomorrow and I pray I dont have to do through anything else with a Insignia product. The sad part is Best Buy was not going to replace the TV until they received my complaint from BBB. That is when I started to receive phone calls from everyone stating how sorry they were for all the problems I have had. I purchased the extended warranty when I purchased the tv and I will make sure that my warrantly is extended to the new TV I will pick up tomorrow. I wish you the best of luck, because I know exactly what you are going through.....

fair enough. No need for any unnecessary posts either. You issue had been addressed ad nauseum already in this forum had you bothered to search this forum (as forum etiquette would dictate) before posting.
In any case, I hope that your problem was solved.

The first part of your issue will be resolved if you load your course from an LMS. If you are not hosting your content on LMS, you can disable the reporting in your Quiz settings (Edit > Preferences > Quiz > Reporting).

Uninstall iTunes, and go to http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1577 and get the 64 bit version.

I understand there have been outages. I was unable to sign into iTunes but within the last 5 minutes I was able to sign in- but not download apps. Has anyone else seen improvements in regards to the outages?

Has anyone else seen a spike in their data usage for no reason?

Anyone else seeing random really large data spikes in their usage summary?
I've had my iPhone 5 for over a year now and I've never even come close to using my data (or texts and calls for that matter).
Now all of a sudden, I got a text yesterday (5/1/14) telling me that I'm at 70% of my allotted data. Then today, I got another text telling me that I'm at 90%. That prompted me to turn off my cellular Data - and to look into my usage.
After I looked at my data usage, I saw that there were a lot of spikes in data usage ranging anywhere from 250MB to 400MB on a single day! And then when I looked more closely, I saw that these data spikes were at times when I'm sitting at home - where my phone would be on Wi-Fi!
I called customer support and the CSR was NOT helpful. She flat out lied to me and tried to say that I used 3 gigs in February and that I'm averaging 2 gigs a month! I looked up my past usage charts and she was WRONG.
She then went on to tell me that Verizon will STILL charge us on data usage EVEN IF our phones are connected to our own High Speed Internet connection! She explained that the phone will pick the faster service... Really? She's really going to tell me that 4G LTE is faster than my ISP? Wow...
I'm documenting this now so that if I see these spikes in the future, I WILL REPORT Verizon to the FCC and I hope that those of you who are having similar problems on your data billing [will do the same].

MichaelKi77,
Data charges can be quite shocking, let's get to the bottom of this to make sure we can help you prevent overages in the future. Have you downloaded any new applications? Please go to Settings>Cellular>Scroll down to see which apps use data. Then, scroll all the way down to System Services to view all data usage.

Since installing the latest update of Photoshop CC two days ago, Auto Blend for focus stacking is selecting all pixels from the bottom layer instead of selecting the ones in best focus from each layer. Has anyone else seen this problem?

I installed the latest update of Photoshop CC two days ago on my Macbook Pro, and now when I try to do focus stacking by opening multiple photos and doing Auto Align and Auto Blend, the blend selects the entire bottom layer instead of selecting the in-focus areas from each layer. I even tried again on a series of images where this worked a week ago and the problem occurs. I have Photoshop on a Windows 8 machine and did not apply this latest update and it works fine. Has anyone else encountered this?

And since installing this same update, my Photoshop is crashing just after starting.
Ashutosh.Nigam suggested me in this forum to change the permissions to SLStore & SLCache Folder, but it did not work.
Ali from french Adobe support told me to delete my Settings files, but it was not enough.
A girl with no name from the same team told me to update my video card driver, but you know I run the latest Mac OS X version and everything is updated, mademoiselle.
Stephane sent me a link to a huge page of things to do :
- Troubleshoot account-specific fonts, but there wasn't any corrupted font
- Delete account-specific Adobe cache files but... guess what...
- Troubleshoot account-specific login items but... yes, that's it, I can see you understand me
- Reset the access settings on the user account's Library folder... oh god, that was fun, I used the Terminal and sudo commands
I did all of these things because when I tried to open PhCC in an other admin session, it worked, so that was an incompatibility between my session and PhCC. But, but, but, when I tried again to lauch the app in the second session, it worked fine but refused to quit. Ha ha ha.
So you can try to delete your Settings files. I wish it'll work for you. If not you can try the long list above... or hope a better answer from the support.
I didn't change anything but Photoshop on my session and they ensure that the bug is due to my session and not to their update. Strange affair.
Good luck,
JLuc

Has anyone else seen this behavior with MobileMe since iOS4?

First some explanation. I have two different push mail accounts on my iPhone. A MobileMe account and an Exchange account. They are both receiving push mail, calendar entries, and contacts.
Now, on the Exchange account, when I receive a message, the new message badge shows up on the iPhone. This is good, and the expected behavior. If I then go and read and / or delete that message in say Outlook or through Outlook Web Access, the message status also updates on the iPhone nearly instantaneously, again this is the expected and desired behavior. Any changes made in mail are also pushed to the iPhone in the background and in very short order.
Now, the MobileMe account is NOT doing this. Sure, when I get a new message, that message is placed on the iPhone and the badge is updated. However, if I then read and / or delete that message while using say the MobileMe Web App or the mail application on my Mac, that change is never reflected on the iPhone. So the badge never changes and the messages are not changed or removed from the device. This is NOT the desired behavior, and not what I remember pre iOS 4. It is not until I open the mail app on the iPhone that the inbox finally updates to reflect the changes made in the inbox or other folders.
So, has anyone else noticed this? Can someone else test this to see if they too are having this issue. I tried to report it to MobileMe support, but only got the standard script. The tech tried to help, but was not able to tell me what was going on or could not understand what I was trying to tell him. I suspect this is an issue on either the sync servers for MobileMe or the mail servers for MobileMe or both.

Has anyone else seen this dialog box graphical phenomenon?

Hi,
I'm running 10.5.4 on a MacBook Pro (4,1) and have noticed a strange effect on some dialog boxes in Leopard - darker grey blocks appear around text, controls and buttons within the dialog box. The effect occurs on both the MacBook Pro display and the Cinema Display it is connected to.
See the following links for examples:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/jammylammy/2732289268
http://www.flickr.com/photos/jammylammy/2735071703
http://www.flickr.com/photos/jammylammy/2738394376
So far it appears in dialog boxes from Entourage, Photoshop & Illustrator (both CS2 & CS3) and iTunes. I initially thought it was only occuring in PowerPC apps running under Rosetta but iTunes is a native Intel app.
Not all dialog boxes are affected - it doesn't appear in Safari, for example:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/jammylammy/2735078907
The boxes are still perfectly usable and it doesn't appear to be a monitor brightness issue as it occurs whatever the brightness setting. I wondered if it was related to the Nvidia graphics card issue (the Macbook Pro is fitted with a GeForce 8600M GT 512MB graphics card) but haven't been able to find any mention of this on these forums or through a wider Google search.
Has anyone else come across this strange phenomenon?
Thanks!

Isn't this just a situation where some apps' code is written differently than others?
It may well be yes. After more searching I found a similar thread here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7638343&#7638343
It may well be something as simple as Apple changing the default background colour for dialog boxes slightly. What puzzles me about that explanation is that the 'effect' occurs in iTunes 7.7 which was released just weeks ago - whereas Leopard's been out in the wild since last October.

Has anyone else seen this?

I'm just setting up a new Mac Pro to use primarily for video editing. I'll be putting Final Cut Studio on it, but last night I just wanted to try the new iMovie and test a firewire camera. I'm not too happy with the quality I'm seeing using a Canon Elura 100. The video seems to have severe interlace problems in both iMovie and and Photo Booth. Any movement results in strong
scan line fringing on all moving edges. I've never seen results like this on my iMac, so I'm assuming I shouldn't be seeing them here. I'm hoping there's a setting somewhere that needs changing, and it isn't a larger problem of a bad or incompatible video card or other hardware issues.
I already had to take the cinema display back because of a dead pixel right in the center of the screen. I really don't want to have to seek out a similar fix for this interlacing. Is this a fixable issue anyone else has had, or did I make a major mistake choosing the 8800 GT card? I've heard of other issues with it.

The article lost credibility on this line here:
"What makes the Matrox MAX technology so special is that you don’t need an 8 to 12 core, top-of-the-line system to get the performance benefits of Mercury. You can use your quad-core systems with any of Matrox’s MAX devices and have the ability to accelerate the Mercury Playback Engine."
First, that's not even close to indicating how the Mercury Playback Engine works or how the Matrox solution would help, nor is it true that you would otherwise need an 8 or 12 core top-of-the-line system in the first place. This is like one of those infomercials that creates a problem for you then attempts to help you solve the problem with their product.
Or kind of like shark repellant for people who are landlocked.
My opinion...if you're using a certified GPU and have a decent quad core system (or better) with a decent amount of RAM, you're getting the MPE goodness and won't likely see any ROI from purchasing additional Matrox hardware.

Has anyone else seen this strange (I think) problem?

I'm running XP pro SP2 w/all updates. I installed 1.4.1 after first uninstalling 1.3. Everything seemed to work fine. The next day when I turned my computer on I received an error message that no DVD drives were found. I have two and neither showed up in windows explorer and both had exclamation marks in device manager. Preliminary troubleshooting revealed that both drives had power and there were no POST problems. I rebooted and entered the BIOS setup and noticed that both had been properly detected by the BIOS - windows appeared to be the only thing that couldn't find them.
Rather than continue troubleshooting I decided to restore from an image backup to a condition where the drives were working OK since it seemed to be a windows issue. When I booted the computer the drives were again visible. I then installed 1.4.1 again and everything worked fine. The next day the error message came back after I turned the computer on. This time I uninstalled 1.4.1 without turning off the computer and the error message went away and the drives were once again visible.
This seemed to me to pretty much point to 1.4.1 as the culprit but I have no idea why...I've never even seen this kind of error before and I've seen a *lot* of errors.
Anyone else experience this kind of glitch or have any guesses regarding how 1.4.1 could cause my drives to go south?
thanks for any feedback.

Hello All, I have a Model - MacBook Pro Laptop and the screen recently turned grey giving me zero visibility or access to the computer. Has anyone else seen or had this problem? Is it fixable or should I get a new unit?

Hello all,
I have a Model - MacBook Pro Laptop and the screen recently turned the colour grey, giving me no visibility or access to the unit.
Has anyone had or seen this problem before? Can it be fixed? I had a repair guy from my local Mac Store take a look at it - he said I needed a whole new screen and top of the computer, but this didn't fix the problem. I took the unit home unrepaired, and a week later it was all of a sudden working fine.
What is happening with my Laptop? Once this happens (grey screen) does it mean that it's going to become a chronic problem?
Please advise....Thanks

It's kind of difficult to diagnosis your problem without a visual clue, because there is a (mostly) software based "gray screen" at boot issue.
But if you got the screen replaced, took it home and now it works, why the repair shop didn't get it working before it left the store is beyond me.
Unless the repair shop is a authorized apple reseller/repair, I wouldn't have taken it to them, and of you did, they should have fixed the issue right away.
