HD maxed out

If you highlight certain items in the trash and then go to "empty trash" will only the highlighted items be deleted or everything? My problem is several items I can't afford to loose were incorrectly put in the trash. Unfortunately there isn't enough space in the hard drive to take them back out. I don't want to empty the trash for fear the good will be deleted as well as the bad. If I can trash one thing at a time perhaps I will be able to open up more space on the HD to fix the situation.

Or, if you're comfortable, very comfortable, in Terminal:
sudo rm -ri ~/.Trash
This will zap all files except those that are immutable or in use.
'sudo' executes the command as root and therefore overrides all permissions
'rm' removes files
'-r' does it recursively - ie to all nested files and directories
'-i' is confirm mode - you will be prompted for each file to delete, and I suggest to use this as a safety precaution. If you have many, many files tedium may set in, so you can replace the '-i' with '-f' (force).
This will continue to empty things immediately upon entering trash, so log out and back in to re-set the command. Once you've confirmed what you wish to keep, do this.

I have not been able to use iTunes for several months. Every time I open iTunes, it freezes by computer such that there is about a minutes between each action. I am running iTunes 11 on Mac OS 10.6.8 and have a computer with maxed out memory.

Maxing out on RAM

Hey
My old powerbook came with 128, I added 512 to start then exchanged that with a 1gig so it was running on 1.128. No problem at all. Spec said max was 640.
I now have the macbook pro 2.16 C2D 15.4 screen. It came with a removable gig ram and I had a gig from my previous MBP. However - I feel 2gig is not enough. This MBP says it can only do 3gig ram. Recent models can do 4. I'm wondering if anyone has maxed out the ram on a 3gig version and run it on 4.
I'm thinking of pullng out both 1gigs and sticking 2x2gig in it. Just want to make sure it is possible.
Appreciate any help.

Hi,
one benefit of 2x2GB is that you still have the 'pairing' advantage of some small percentage more speed when the memory is accessed.
And secondly, if you decide to get a Santa Rosa MBP in the future you can use this memory for it.
Other than that, you are right, not much use.
Have Fun

How do I get my iTunes (both purchased and cd's) into the cloud as I cannot use match my iMac and MacBook are too old to use the right OS and maxed out RAM memory upgrades, but have iPhone 4S and now 64gb iPad and libraries on desktops plus iPod!!

So very excited bought iPad and new speakers today! Want to get all my music sorted as across iMac (G5), MacBook os 10.6 (maxed out ram and memory) and old iPod. Saw Match would be an option but can't use due to old OS so I can get the raw music library files but then what do I do to get all in one place? Any help appreciated.

A good route would be to attach a USB drive to the macbook. You can use the drive to assemble a copy of all of your music from your various devices. iTunes on the macbook can be used to create a new library, located on the USB drive, into which you can import all of your music.
Two major benefits:
1. From here you can run iTunes Match across your entire music collection; and
2. You will have created a full local backup of all of your music on the USB drive.
Once complete you will be able to access the music from any iDevice capable of running iTunes Match, Do remember as you add music it is important to maintain a local backup in order to keep your music safe.

It sounds like it still has her information on it, so it might be efficient to navigate to Settings, then General, then Reset, then Erase All Content and Settings. You can then set up the phone again, using your information. This way the phone will be yours, officially, and her data and information will be removed.

My hard drive is about maxed out, what are my options

I have a MacBook that is about 5 years old. My hard drive is about maxed out. Trying to determine if it is worth trying to get a larger hard drive, whether I just go to a portable hard drive (a bit of a pain since I travel so much) or something else. Don't think I can even upgrade to Mountain Lion because of lack of hard drive space. I love my Mac, but am looking at possibly going to an iPad for travel as the Mac is heavy and I have to carry two computers (work and personal). Considered buying a new Mac, say an Air, but don't have that kind of cash to drop for it.
Would appreciate any opinions out there? If I upgrade the hard drive, what kind of money are we talking about?

For a new hard drive try Newegg.com http://www.newegg.com/Store/SubCategory.aspx?SubCategory=380&name=Laptop-Hard-Dr ives&Order=PRICE
Or OWC for regular hard drives and SSDs http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/
Here are instructions on replacing the hard drive in a MacBook with a removable battery. http://creativemac.digitalmedianet.com/articles/viewarticle.jsp?id=45088
To transfer your current hard drive I like the free application SuperDuper. It makes a bootable copy of everything on your hard drive http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html You'll need a cheap SATA external hard drive case. Put the new drive in the case then format and partition the new drive and clone your old drive to the new one. Check that it's set up right by booting up from the external drive. Then replace your old hard drive with the new one and put your old one in the external case.

Why does the sampling rate for my DAQCard-700 max out at 6578Hz regardless of the number of channels I'm sampling?

My DAQCard-700 is acting funny. I am using LABView 6.0.2 on a Dell Inspiron 8100 laptop for continuous analog input. For some reason my DAQCard-700 won't let me acquire multiple channels unless I create virtual channels in max and then run AI Config with a list of the virtual channel names. That's fine (but weird), but I max out my sampling rate at 6578 Hz, which is the max sampling rate if I would have sampled all 16 (Referenced, single-ended) AI channels. But I'm not -- I'm sampling 6 channels, as proven by the "number of channels" indicator in AI config and just looking at my data. If I sample just one channel, I can get up to 105248Hz. Is my card f
ried, or am I missing a hidden setting somewhere? I have the latest NIDAQ.

Hello;
By the description of your problem, everything is pointing us to a hardware failure.
There aren't any tricks to acquire multiple channels with that card.
The best way to go about this is to have NI to fix the board for you.

Web gallery max out at 500 images

Hi, I'm using LR 3.5 and when I creat a web gallery it maxes out at 500 images, even though there are 776 photos in the gallery and all 776 are selected. In fact, the image number below the preview shows 1/500 instead of 1/776. When i look at the uploaded website it also only shows 500 images. In Library mode I see all 776 images, and also in Web mode I see all 776. When I switch from Library to Web I see the "Update Web Gallery" in the top left corner of the window. It shows the progress window: "Export image fliename-001" and continues up to image 500, then stops. So it appears it is only exporting 500 images.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hopefully you appreciated I was being semi serious! Many pros would see part of their job being to whittle a big shoot down to a reasonable number to present to the client, and secondly I'd question if going through a slideshow in sequential order is the best way to review a large number of pictures - better than a grid of decent-sized thumbnails? Those are obviously judgement calls and I don't like a 500 limit being imposed.
Now, to make your updated version survive Lightroom updates:
Copy the Flash gallery's folder
Paste it into Win C:\Users\john\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Web Galleries or Mac Users\john\Library\Adobe\Lightroom\Web Galleries
In galleryinfo.lrweb, change the ID - just add your initials
In galleryinfo.lrweb, change the title to something like "Flash Gallery (edited)"
When you restart LR, you'll see "Flash Gallery (edited)" in the Layout Style panel

My 8th core is almost maxed out while idle

Hello folks,
I'm glad Logic is now 64bit; no more "out of memory" errors. Yippee! However, now the eighth core of my "octo-core" Mac Pro, is almost maxed out when idle. This also seems to be the core that is taxed the most during playback. After looking at the Activity Monitor, it looks like the 32-bit Bridge might be the culprit. Does anyone know if the 32-bit Bridge is supposed to spread the load evenly across the cores (multi threading)? Is there something that I can "tweak" to fix this? Is anyone else having the same issue? Thanks!

Depending on the year of the MBP, the hard drive may not be considered a user replaceable item...but you can check the available 1 TB drives at good sources such as OWC, http://www.macsales.com they are great to deal with and have on-line videos showing how to do most installation tasks.

IPhoto 6.0.1 Maxes Out CPU

I have a new MacBook Pro 2.0 GHz running OS X 10.4.5 obviously and my iPhoto 6.0.1 (Universal) running in the background occupies 97-98% of one of the CPUs for as long as the program is running. I have a few thousand photos in the library and do not see any disk activity in Activity Monitor (like it was caching thumbnails or something).
Has anyone else had a similar experience with iPhoto or know what it is doing? I let it run all night and it is still happily maxing out that one CPU (10:42:09 hh:mm:ss currently).

Spontaneous volume max out

Hi
recently, while recording with garageband 4.1.2, the volume will spontaneously max out, causing pure static for about 5 minutes, but then go back to normal. if the recording is left running, the static will come back again and the same process will repeat. if I stop the recording tho, sometimes the volume max out will disappear and the recording will be fine (as if the max out never occurred), but other times the max out will remain.
any thoughts? I use a shure sm57 mic into a Edirol FA-66 firewire recording box. It's worked fine for the past 4 months, just in the last week has it started acting up.
any help would be greatly appreciated, cheers!

You could try reloading the firmware but it might be a hardware problem - button stuck down, maybe? If so, try exercising it. PB

Query Builder results seem to max out at 500 lines. How to change?

Hi all,
Some of out Application Express users are using the Query Builder tool for ad-hoc reporting. The idea is to run the SQL to extract the data, then download to MS Excel. The Query Builder results seem to max out at 500 lines. I want to increase that value. I searched all Application Express forums for 'query builder output max 500' and then 'query builder output' and did not find the answer.
How do I change the 500 line limit in Query Builder results?
Thanks!

Why does my memory max out at 70% (using iStat) @ 2x1GB RAM 667mhz

Hi,
I'm using iStat as a monitoring service and I have 2x1gb RAM installed and a 2.4 core2duo processor. I run multiple programs at once (Firefox, Dropbox, MS Office, iTunes) and my memory hovers around 71% all the time (it gets sluggish around 70%). It never has gone up or past 74%. I figure it should max out around 100% right? I recently upgraded to 2x2gb or 667 memory. Will I still have the same problem of hitting a threshold? How do I get rid of this ceiling? Thanks!

Hi bmose14,
I'm not entirely sure how iStat Pro monitors RAM (I always use Activity Monitor for that) but I know Snow Leopard changed how RAM is monitored. Previously in Leopard if you had, for example, 2GB of total RAM it would show that as available and then just immediately allocate the RAM that's being addressed by the GPU. But in Snow Leopard, I find that I have 1.75GB of total RAM (as it doesn't calculate the 256MB of VRAM my shared GPU is allocated).
I'm thinking you have the Intel GMA X3100 GPU (144MB of RAM) and as such that's being calculated here, in addition to the RAM being used by the programs and OS. With that being said, I don't think you can ever reach the 100% mark. I know I fired up iStat Pro on my machine (prior to responding) and I'm also hovering around ~80% despite Activity Monitor showing about the same as "green" in the pie chart.

Crazy to buy a maxed out late 2013 iMac now?

Was waiting to see if there would be any update but alas, no. Not sure I want to be an early adopter of a retina 27" iMac. Looking at a nearly maxed out non-retina (aka late 2013) 27" iMac. Only about $400 less than similar equipped retina model. Am I crazy or what? Use is just home computing and home video/photo editing. I just looked at retina 27 in store. I can see the difference if I try I don't see point in waiting for next gen chips either.

I just did something similiar. I waited and waited for the Retina iMac to be released before I made my final iMac decision. I was on board for even max'ing out the Retina iMac until I learned it would not support Target Display Mode. I already own a Macbook Pro w/Retina. And while I understand not seeing 5k each and every time, I expected (current technology limitations or not) the Target Display Mode to simply reproduce the same resolution as the Macbook Pro when connected via Thunderbolt.
Once I learned that the Retina iMac did not work as a secondary monitor I made my Late-2013 iMac decision. I understand where you are coming from because I had the same 'fears'.
It kills me to not have the 5k version when it exists, but last year's version (including TDM functionality) fit my day to day needs better.
