Help! Incorrect storage display
Hi everyone,
Looking for help with my MacBook Air:
I just deleted 2 big folders, approx. 13GB each, emptied the trash ... and the amount of free space available on the SSD does not change :-s
14,11GB remaining before emptying the trash, still 14,11GB after emptying the trash.
What I already did:
- check the storage with About this mac > More info > Storage. It says 14,11GB. Backups says "0kb".
- verify & repair SSD with Disk Utility. First time, DU found some corrupted files and repaired them. I've tried to verify and repair a dozen of times after that and nothing changes, that's to say DU says everything is fine ...
- reboot on another drive and use DU. Same result.
- switch on / off Time Machine. No change.
So ... any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one.
Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
If you have more than one user account, make sure you're logged in as an administrator. The administrator account is the one that was created automatically when you first set up the computer.
Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders, sorted by size with the largest at the top. It may take a few minutes for ODS to finish scanning your files.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
When you're done with ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal.

Hi
I've noticed the the device memory bar on the storage scene in settings is displaying the wrong information. The bar shows i have used 3/4 of my internal memory, mainly as app. However the amount shown as available on the same screen shows 9.3MB. Also in device facts (under the diagnostics menu ) it shows that i have only used 2.3GB. I think the problem comes from my use of the sd storage feature on google music. The music files are definitely saved on the sd card. The phone seems to recognise this itis just this status bar that is misreading the information. Will this cause me problems? Can i fix it? Or should i just ignore it?
Thanks

Hi there
The file sync didnt work for the last couple of days. With the last sync it added to my storage from previous syncs. I've now emptied the whole thing including the archive. It still shows 2.44Gb / 12.23% used with just one little folder in there. Can this be reset?
Thomas@1ine2 and @efru12 - My apologies for not replying sooner. Both of your accounts look fine. If you are seeing any issues around your files please reply to this post.

30gb video ipod showing incorrect storage capacity
Hi,
I have a 30gb ipod. When I connect the ipod & open itunes or ipod updater, the ipod appears with an incorrect storage capacity.
The updater shows all other information correctly, except for Capacity, which shows at 65.0GB
With nothing on the ipod, Itunes shows used: 4.49GB, free: 58.99GB. If I try to transfer any files I get a message saying that there is not enough free space to transfer the files.
I have restored to factory settings, re-installing all software, changing usb ports etc but nothing seems to have helped...
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Matt.

Search Help with Structure Display
Hi,
I want to create a search help which should display my output in the structure format base on the different levels.
I have already written a test program which display all the values in proper structure format. But I wanna do the same in the search help. It has to display the output in the structure format.
Please guide me how to achieve this.
Thanks,
Karthikhello,
you could write additional report based on ALV tree. So you would have the stucture which you want to have and on value request call your custom program. i doubt that there is FM or class which could generate search help tree. So basically you have to write your own logic. Or you could use GuiXt tool. Example and tutorial.

Help cannot be displayed because no help context ID was passed
Hi Guys,
When I click Help icon from HRMS 9.1, I got the below error.
"Help cannot be displayed because no help context ID was passed. To view the PeopleSoft Online Library, click here."
I can access PeopleBooks PSOL by http://webserver:port/PSOL/hrms/eng/index.htm correctly. Did someone run into this error before?
Thanks,
BobI've generally found this to be a problem with the URL you are using, in particular the case of the URL parameters, for example:
The following URL will work for PeopleTools PeopleBooks
http://hostname.domain.com:port/PSOL/htmldoc/f1search.htm?ContextID=MESSAGE_CATALOG&LangCD=ENG
Howe the following URL wil give you the help cannot be displayed because no help context ID was passed:
http://hostname.domain.com:port/PSOL/htmldoc/f1search.htm?contextID=MESSAGE_CATALOG&LangCD=ENG
Note that in the example that works the parameter is ContextID and when it fails the parameter is contextID (lowercase C).
This URL should be set up the in the appropriate web profile as the Help URL.
Note that you can also use the Oracle hosted PeopleBooks (although they are slower) for context sensistive help. Instructions are here:
http://tahiti.oracle.com/pdf/EnablingtheHelpLinkfromApplicationPages.pdf
For example the above can be tested using the following URLs for PeopleTools 8.50 PeopleBooks:
Works: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15645_01/pt850pbr0/f1search.htm?ContextID=MESSAGE_CATALOG&LangCD=ENG

Macbook pro shows incorrect storage information on SSD.
I am using a macbook pro. The storage information is shown wrongly. Control I shows the correct information but finder and space bar on the hard disk show incorrect storage information. Used space is actually 122 GB which is shown as 140 GB. Even omnidiskkeeper shows the breakup of 122 GB but the storage information summary shows 140GB.
Re-index Macintosh HD.
Spotlight reindexing will take a while to finish.

Key help trigger not displaying help file
We're using designer 2.0.24.2.0 with headstart 5.0.2, I've created a number of help files for different modules, when you run one of the forms and press the help key, the help file is displayed. If you do it a second time, the help file is not displayed, if you use the ? off the toolbar the help file is displayed.
I've had a quick look at the core library and there is a package body QMS$HELP which was modified on, with the comments :-
05-10-1998 S. Davelaar chk_help_mode, invoke_context_help,
context_help_invoked
Added boolean to keep track of context help invocation. This to prevent, online
help is invoked three times in a row: by item-level, block-level and form-level
trigger (trigger execution style is BEFORE!!).
I've checked the key-help triggers at Item, Block and Form level, they are all set execution style before and these triggers are firing each time the help key is pressed.
Is this a known bug which has been fixed in a later release? Or does anyone know of a quick fix?This was identified as bug #850317 and was resolved in Headstart 5.0.3.2.

Help isn’t displaying because JavaScript is turned off.
You can enable JavaScript in your browser’s preferences or settings. Then refresh this page to try again.
I've followed instructions to remove problem, still exists, how do I get Iphoto to open?Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .
