HD of 160GB with 70GB still free gives strange behaviours...

Hi there,
i bought my iMac (see below for details) about a year ago to make music and to feel comfortable in all the rest of the things i do using my computer...
since few weeks i noticed that recording music with Logic Express (software i'm using since 8/9 months) it was giving a lot of problem of stability, often giving me the message: coreaudio: Disk is too slow oor system overload (-10008), so i thought, now i'm going to freeze a bit of tracks here and there, and it worked fine..but now, even if i've frozen everything, i almost can't work with it anymore, i press play and it gives my in 1 sec the terrible message...
so, also for ather reasons i thought to buy on ebay an external HD of 250GB, and i hope this way i can give my mac magnificence back...
by the way, Logic Express is not the only program which feels the pain in the ***...even Finder gives i bit of more latency now...
my question is: is it possible that my mac, which has about 80GB of used space and 70GB of free HD, already starts to cry like a crappy windows?
i hope the trick is an external HD...
thanx for any feedback.

You might try running Disk Utility from your CD/DVD on the drive and see if it finds errors in the files structure. You may have corruption on your drive that the utility could fix.
Another thing to try is to run your hardware test which should also be on your CD/DVD and see if it reports any problems with the drive. Before doing that, and while in Disk Utility, check the SMART status of the drive.

  • International wifi iMessaging **with PHOTOS** -- still free?

    Hi all, need a clarification: 
    While abroad and with a wifi connection, is iMessaging with another iOS user still "free" (ie, non-SMS and no roaming) if photos are attached?
    Not sure if the inclusion of data-heavy pics changes the status of the otherwise free wifi-delivered iMessage sent from an iPhone in Europe to an iPhone in the U.S..
    Thanks!

    Check your other post, you already have the answer.

  • Move with Repeater:hBox and filterFunction = Strange behaviour

    Hello,
    I fill a hBox with item from a Repeater. Now I have a Button
    that moves the hBox one widht to the right (to the next items).
    To prevent, that the move is going to far I do this:
    [code]
    if (theBox.x > (myDatalist.length*(-208)-(-832))){
    myMove.end();
    myMove.xBy=-832;
    myMove.play();
    [/code]
    This works fine. Now I do a selection with a filterFunction
    and move theBox back to x=0.
    And from now the move is not working anymore. I've made some
    of the stuff to vars to see if there is a math problem, but it is
    not. I have no Idea why this does not work after the
    filterfunction.

    I'm experiencing the exact same issue than Corin. I don't know what's making the problem appear, but I usually need to restart to fix the problem. Also when I tried to drag something from iTunes I couldn't use the escape method as Corin mentioned before.
    I already re-installed Mac OS X and after a couple of hours the problem came back again. It doesn't seem like a hardware problem because once I tried to restart my MAC and a program stopped it from doing it... and then I noticed that my mouse was fixed again.
    I don't know what can be the issue, but does this mean I need to make a clean install of Mac OS X?

  • If you have the iPhone 4s and you buy the iwork...later when you change your phone to iPhone 5 with the same app name and code the iwork still free to download into your new phone???

    if you have the 4s and you buy the iwork...later when you change your phone to 5 with the same app name and code the iwork still free to download into your new phone???

    Yes as long as you use the same Apple ID for iTunes that you used to download the app originally.
    Hope that helps

  • I know Imessaging between IOS 5 devices is free, but when sending group texts to both IOS 5 phones and nonIOS 5 phones, is it still free to those with IOS 5? The text bubble is green.

    I know Imessaging between IOS 5 devices is free, but when sending group texts to both IOS 5 phones and nonIOS 5 phones, is it still free to those with IOS 5? The text bubble is green.

    According to Macworld it is a lowest common denominator situation. If any of the people on your list are not iMessage people then all the messages go out SMS and will count against your messages from your provider. Bummer IMHO, but that is the way it is.

  • Problem with connecting to free wifi after upgrading to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8

    Hi
    I had problems with connecting to free Wifi after upgrading my PC(Notebook) to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8. As I travel a lot within europe, I am used to being able to connect to Free Wifi(those that dont need a key or password to enter) but soon after downloading
    Windows 8.1 I almost never was able to do this. I'd always get «LIMITED» even though the signal was strong.This was so fustrating,so much so that I reset my PC to clear it of Windows 8.1 and am now back to Windows 8.This is a shame because I was really liking
    using Windows 8.1 and if not for this problem(which is a big one) I'd still be using it. If I download Windows 8.1 again from the Windows store what is the probability that I'll have the same problems?
    Thanks Portozzygirl

    More often than not when a device isn't working it is because the driver has become corrupted. Re-installing a fresh copy should help

  • Aperture: "Insufficient Disk Space" alert with 370 GB Free

    Hello,
    Since I use aperture on Mountain Lion, it's unpossible to import big folders anymore.
    The folders named "2012" is on my network and has 7 400 files (560 GB). I import it with option "In Their Current Location", so, it's no copy nor move. After checking, computer says : Insufficient Disk Space. Need 100 GB more". But HD is 370 GB free and pictures aren't copied/moved to my HD !!!
    With snow leopard, I don't have this prob, but Aperture update are no more available for SL.
    I work on a IMac with 4GB RAM and HD 500 GB with a Mac Server of 15 TB.
    Any suggestion ?
    Etienne
    Aperture 3.4.3 on Mountain Lion 10.8.2

    Ernie,
    1) Aperture library is on the internal HD with 370 GB Free. FS is Mac OS Extended (Journaled). The linked picture stays on a Mac Network fileserver with afolder per year. I make test with folder 2011 and folder 2012
    2) With LR, I don't import library from aperture but I import picture from folder 2012. And it's fine. LR library stays on the same HD/same partition than Aperture one.
    3) If I remove big TIFF file (273 MB) from 2012, it's OK.
    4) If I try to import 100 big TIFF File it's NOK : "Insuffisant disk space..."
    5) If I try to import 10 big TIFF File it's OK to import but zoom 1:1 gives a little picture.

  • Is iMessage still free even If you text someone over seas?

    Right my girlfriend is about to go on holiday for 2 weeks abroad and I was waundering if it will be still free if I use iMessage to text her still. thanks :)

    To use 3G overseas it might cost depending on Cellular network ,since she on roaming and depending on the tieup between Network available in the overseas and home network, will charge your accordling.
    To reduce your roaming cost buy a pepaid local number provided by cellular network for two weeks with 3g enable and chat as much as you can.

  • Does PPBM6 work properly with Adobe's free trial CS6 download?

    Does PPBM6 work properly with Adobe's free trial download of Premiere Pro CS6?
    Does the CS6 download include the 6.0 level release, or is it the latest version (or at least download patchable to the latest version)?
    If anyone has actually done exactly this, please share your experience?
    Thanks,

    Randall,
    Just a snippet from my mail to Bill about testing results up to now:
    MPEG2 results appear to be dependent not on number of cores, but on amount of memory, next to the video card and maybe memory controller. How else would your SB be faster than your 980 with the same video card and 4 cores versus 6? I think 32 GB versus 24 GB is the differentiating factor here, as well as the memory controller on the SB, or am I trying to find explanations that are not there?
    Disk I/O is purely a matter of sustained transfer rates. Number of cores is irrelevant here. I don't have sufficient data yet to determine whether amount of memory will be influential, but I assume there is a lower limit when the results will further decrease. We are talking about a 37,092 MB file being written to disk and the sustained transfer rate can be negatively influenced by a limited amound of memory.
    MPEG2-DVD as shown above.
    H.264 is mainly a factor of number of cores, size of the L3 cache, amount and speed of the memory and clock speed.
    MPE Gain is a resultant calculated number. It is hard to interpret, I admit, but in general you will see that the better a system is performing, the lower the Gain figure. Very fast systems can handle software MPEG2-DVD encoding quite well, slower systems struggle with that task, but with hardware MPE even slower systems achieve around the same figure as faster systems and the consequence is that slower systems show a higher gain.
    Further notice that the new Total Time figure is only the sum of Disk I/O + MPEG2-DVD + H.264-BR. In the PPBM5 test we included the rendering test as well, but since we no longer use that, it is no longer a part of the Total score. Also, the weighing of test results to calculate the RPI has been adjusted for this new test.
    Hope this gives some informative background info.

  • How do I sync my Ipod Classic 160gb with my new computer (windows 8). It synced with my old computer (windows XP) but not with my new one (windows8)

    How do I sync my Ipod Classic 160gb with my new computer (Windows8).? It synced with my old computer (WindowsXP) but will not do so on the new computer?

    Hi Lechwe,
    I had this issue recently, due to changing HD for an SSD.
    In my case, since the library in my iPod was synced to the HD it was not syncing to the library in the SSD, though they were the same (had the same contents).
    I found there's this checkbox in iTunes > iPod > [Settings] Music, called "Sync Music". Mine was unchecked, I guess due to iPod being synced to the old library. I marked the checkbox and clicked then in Sync. iTunes asked me if I was sure I wanted to sync the iPod with the "new" library, i clicked yes, and the it started determining the song to sync. Since the library was essentially the same (just a couple songs more in the new one), it synced the couple new songs and that was it.
    Hope it helps!
    Regards,
    Awlo.

  • How do i make a still image (photo) fit the length of the music? I record music and want to put the tracks to a video file with a still image of my business logo in the background. Any help?

    How do I make a still image (photo) fit the length of the music? I record music and want to convert the tracks to a video file with a still image of my business logo in the background. On windows movie maker you could just select "fit to music" but this program isnt as easy to figure out! Any help?

    Double-click on the still image in the project timeline to open the Inspector. In the Inspector, adjust the duration by typing in a new duration to match the length of your music. I think the limit for a still image is 10 minutes. If you need more than this, simply drag the image into the timeline again then adjust its duration. The two images will play seamlessly (no gap will be visible).
    See this iMovie Help topic:
    http://help.apple.com/imovie/#mov3a883915
    You can achieve more precision when entering durations by changing a preference in the menu item iMovie Preferences. Check (tick) the preference for Show Time As HH:MM:SS:frames. This will enable you to enter the duration of stills down to the frame level, rather than full seconds (NTSC is 30 frames per second; PAL is 25 fps). When entering times, type a colon between each time segment, such as 2:50:15, which represents 2 minutes 50 seconds and 15 frames. For 5 seconds 20 frames you would enter 5:20 and so forth.
    Note that the music will only run to the length of the video in the timeline (in your case, the still images). So, after increasing the stills duration you will need to drag the end of the music track as far as required. The stills can be dragged inwards to reduce the duration if necessary.
