Helping me understand cleaning and optimization

Hello everyone,
This is my first post on the board and would like to introduce myself: Please call me eyeforimagery!
I am by no means computer illiterate nevertheless have gotten myself into a pickle with the ammount of GB left on my computer.
My question is... From the pie-chart I am not understanding where all of my space has gone... I've emptied the trash; tried the 'erase free space' under the disc utility folder; downloaded 'clean my mac'; and purchased a few external hard-drives...
What am I doing wrong and how can I correct this?
Tomorrow afternoon I have made an appointment with an apple representative to try and sort this out... Should I bring my external hard-drive with me?
Any advice would help.
Thank you all kindly,
Eyeforimagery

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
With your 'handle', eyeforimagery, I'm guessing it's photos and videos.
Music, photos, downloaded movies, your own videos, graphics, fonts, podcasts, application programs, documents, and the operating system all take up space on your hard disk. 160Gb is a pretty small hard disk today. I currently have a 500Gb in my MacBook that is more than 2/3rds full.
For me, it's the high-megapixel digital camera images that take up a lot of space. I currently have a 100Gb iPhoto Library. I also use an image editing program that creates huge files, 4 to 10 times the size of the original image.
I use a program called Daisy Disk http://www.daisydiskapp.com/ ($19.95) to visualize exactly what is taking up the most storage space on my hard drive.
And yes, take the external drive(s) along to your appointment.

no, that's not a reason you would use a class file.
anyway, your document class variables are defined on the main timeline so to reference them from any timeline you can use:
MovieClip(root).w36; // for example (but it's really undesirable to have coding in more than one timeline)

Help newbie understand .swf and .flv

I don't know if I'm the idiot or if I'm dealing with some.
I'm from a video background and trying to learn the web end
of things, had never looked at Flash before this situation. I
produced some videos for a client, each is 4-5 minutes in length.
They want to post them on their web site and asked for .swf files.
After reading up it seemed what I should do was produce an .flv
file of the movie from Final Cut then create a .swf from that in
Flash, send both off; the web company would post them in the same
folder and it would run perfectly. I fumbled my way through doing
that for the first clip, and it played great on my computer (much
to my surprise, nothing ever works the first time). I sent both
files off to the client and got a snippy letter back that they
wanted only an .swf, not 2 files to deal with. I tried embedding
the .flv in the .swf and of course it played like crap, audio out
of sync, etc. They are an ad agency and don't seem to want to let
me talk to the folks actually posting the stuff. So:
Am I just missing something huge in the workflow, is there a
way to embed a long video and make it play cleanly?
Doesn't the web hosting company usually produce the .swf file
so they can control the look of the interface?

Thanks for your reply.
I eventually got everything working with swfobject.
I think i'm finally getting the hang of flash, well the basic stuff anyway, lol.

Help in understanding Video_TS and Video_RM files

I ave been given a DVD that was made for a group using Sony commercial gear. It contains a Video_RM folder that includes a *.BUP and a *.IFO.
It also contains a Video_TS folder that has Video_TS.BUP, Video_TS.IFO and a Video_TS.VOB files. There are also VTS010.BUP, VTS010.IFO and VTS011.VOB, VTS012.VOB and VTS013.VOB.
Now I have extracted files from the Video_TS folder and have been able to use them in FCE.
But my question is what are these files?
Two of the VOB files are large and I assume they contain my video and audio.
Are they redundant?
Am I missing something by only extracting one of the folders?
What can someone tell me about these guys.
I did not see a reference to it in the FCE manual nor have I come across it yet in Tom's book on FCE.
Thanks
Dunc

You might read this tutorial myDVDEdit overview. It's an introduction to the DVD file structure, written by the developer of myDVDEdit, a very powerful free interactive tool, that allows to make modifications to the internal contents of a DVD.
myDVDEdit should not be needed unless you have to fix some bug/misbehaviour of the Apple applications. For example it may be used to fix the 16:9 to 4:3 frame factor problem for anamorphic video created by FCE and imported by iDVD: see instructions in the same myDVDEdit site (this is not the only workaround for this problem).
If you are interested in understanding the DVD structure, this is for sure a good overview.

Hi,
Oracle Standard Edition 11.2.0.3.0 CPU Oct 2012 running on Windows 2008 R2 x64. I am using Oracle 10g syntax for WITH clause as the query will also run on Oracle 10gR2. I do not have a Oracle 10gR2 environment at hand to comment if this behaves the same.
Following query is beyond me. It takes around 2 minutes to return the "computed" result set of 66 rows.

I do not understand iPhoto and/or Photo Stream, help me?

I do not understand iPhoto to say the least. I've imported my photos which I have stored on an external networked hard drive. However after they've been uploaded to the iPhoto library, I've got NUMEROUS duplicates which seem to be showing as different events even though they are the same photo.
Another thing is that in Photo Stream which I have turned on my iPhone 4, I seem to have photos showing up in there that have nothing to do with a photo I've taken on my iPhone or manually dragged them to Photo Stream. They are mostly some old photos that I've NEVER had on my iPhone at all. How did they get there. My photos that I've taken with the phone or saved on my Iphone are there just like I was expecting but most of these photos, and this is while I'm on my iMac, are just a bunch of random photos. I don't even know how to delete these photos in Photo Stream to try and start over.
Could someone help me understand iPhoto and/or Photo Stream, these are two different questions please!

Is there a specific file that iPhoto makes and stores on my computer or the external drive that has the iPhoto library? I want to delete all instances of it and try reloading my library.
Also, how do I reload or start fresh a Photo Stream library on my computer? What's weird is that the photos on my iMac are not what's on my iPhone. I mean I have the ones that are on my iPHone are within the iPhoto's Photo Stream but then there is also a bunch of other photos that I have no idea how they got there.

Hi there,
I've just installed ios 7.0.6 on my iphone 4 and now lost voice on outgoing and incoming calls.It rings on incoming and I'm told rings on the recipient's 'phone, but then no vocal communication...its just dead. My simm is ok, i've checked it, I've done a full clean and restore of the 'phone. Still no calls.
I've not caused any physical or water damage to the 'phone. I would welcome any help/suggestions to get my calls back asap.
Please help.

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPhone?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
Also consider deleting and reinstalling the Mail Account in question.

Can you help me understand the use of the word POSITION in TR and CFM?

Hi,
I am trying to have a view of typical BI reports in TR and TM/CFM so through my research I came to the following link:.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/62/08193c38f98e1ce10000000a11405a/frameset.htm
My problem on this link and other postings on this site seem to be the same. Can you help me understand the use of the word POSITIONS in these context:
1. Our client has asked for financial transaction reports in BW, such as position of Borrowings, Investments and Hedge Operations (TM data).
2. I have a requirement on, some reports related to Money Market (Fixed Term Deposits, Deposits at Notice) something on FSCM-Treasury and Risk Manager. These reports will be similar to that of Loans, i.e. Position statement, flow statement, etc.
3. The set of position values for a single position or a limited amount of positions can be reported by transactions TPM12 and TPM13 in R3.
4. 0CFM_C10 (Financial Positions Cube)
Do you have some simple report outputs to help clarify how the word POSITION is used in such environments?
Thanks

If I future buy 10 shares in company at £1 per share - at the end of the day my potential value is £10
The next day the shares drop tp £0.9 per share - I have a negative position - my shares are only worth £9
I haven;t bought them yet - but I have a negative position - ie if things stayed as they are - I am going to realise (ie end up with) a loss
Now you can use this for loans and foreign exchange banks as well...

update emp set emp_name=(select emp_name from dept where emp.id=dept.emp_id);I guess that these are masked table names ? Nobody would have emp_name in a dept table.

Need help. I am running a 27 in imac with 16 gigs of ram. Photoshop runs really fast, except when opening files. It takes 5-10 minutes to open even a small file of 1 meg. I cleaned and validated all the fonts and removed all questionable fonts. Reset preferences and still have problem. Slow to open and in force quit "Photoshop not responding" At this point should I uninstall and start over.

What are the performance Preferences?

Duplicate partitions, need help to understand and fix.

So I was looking for a USB that I plugged in and went into /media/usbhd-sdb4/miles and realized all its contents was from my home directory.
So I created a random file in my home directory to see if it would also update /media/usbhd-sdb4/miles , and it did.
Can someone help me understand what is happening?
Also if I can fuse sdb4 and sdb2 as one, and partition it as my home directory without losing its contents?
Below is some information that I think would be helpful.
Thank you.

TS1541 I took my iMac to the store and they wiped it clean and helped me reinstall from a back up but we did not have time to finish the reinstall of all the pictures, when I got home I followed the directions and ii got a message saying that I am nadmini

I was having problems with the software and iTunes, took the iMac to the apple store and they wiped it clean and then helped me restore from my backup. W were able to do most of it but had the pictures left, and it would take to much time, so they sent me home with instructions, I followed the instructions to the letter but got a message saying that the pictures could not be installed because I was not the administrator and I am stuck, can someone out there help me?

Hello pryan1012,
What this message means is that you have more music in your itunes library than there is free space in your ipod.
I had this same issue at one time. This is what helped me put my music on the ipod. I used manually manage.
Learn how to sync muisc here.
Hope this helps.

Need help understanding profiles and color management

I made the big leap from inexpensive inkjets to:
1 Epson 3800 Standard
2 Spyder3Studio
I have a Mac Pro Quad, Aperture, PS3, etc.
I have a steep learning curve ahead, here's what I've done:
1 Read a lot of books, watched tutorials, etc.
2 Calibrated the monitor
3 Calibrated the printer several times and created .icc profiles
What I've found:
1 The sample print produced by Spyder3Print, using the profile I created with color management turned off in the print dialog, looks very good.
2 When I get into Aperture, and apply the .icc profile I created in the proofing profile with onscreen proofing, the onscreen image does not change appreciably compared with the no proof setting. It gets slightly darker
3 When I select File>Print image, select the profile I created, turn off color management and look a the resulting preview image it looks much lighter and washed out than the onscreen image with onscreen proofing turned on.
4 When I print the image, it looks the same as was shown in the print preview...light and washed out, which is much different than what is shown in edit mode.
5 When I open PS3 with onscreen soft-proofing, the onscreen image is light and washed out...just like displayed in PS3 preview. If I re-edit the image to look OK onscreen, and print with the profile and color management turned off, the printed image looks OK.
So, why am I confused?
1 In the back of my simplistic and naive mind, I anticipated that in creating a custom printer profile I would only need to edit a photo once, so it looks good on the calibrated screen, and then a custom printer profile will handle the work to print a good looking photo. Different profiles do different translations for different printers/papers. However, judging by the PS work, it appears I need to re-edit a photo for each printer/paper I encounter...just doesn't seem right.
2 In Aperture, I'm confused by the onscreen proofing does not present the same image as what I see in the print preview. I'm selecting the same .icc profile in both locations.
I tried visiting with Spyder support, but am not able to explain myself well enough to help them understand what I'm doing wrong.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Calibrated the printer several times and created .icc profiles
You have understand that maintaining the colour is done by morphing the colourants, and you have understood that matching the digital graphic display (which is emissive) to the print from the digital graphic printer (which is reflective) presupposes a studio lighting situation that simulates the conditions presupposed in the mathematical illuminant model for media independent matching. Basically, for a display-to-print match you need to calibrate and characterise the display to something like 5000-55000 kelvin. There are all sorts of arguments surrounding this, and you will find your way through them in time, but you now have the gist of the thing.
So far so good, but what of the problem posed by the digital graphic printer? If you are a professional photographer, you are dependent on your printer for contract proofing. Your prints you can pass to clients and to printers, but your display you cannot. So this is critical.
The ICC Specification was published at DRUPA Druck und Papier in Düsseldorf in May 1995 and ColorSync 2 Golden Master is on the WWDC CD for May 1995. Between 1995 and 2000 die reine Lehre said to render your colour patch chart in the raw condition of the colour device.
The problem with this is that in a separation the reflectance of the paper (which is how you get to see the colours of the colourants laid down on top of the paper) and the amount of colourant (solid and combinations of tints) gives you the gamut.
By this argument, you would want to render the colour patch chart with the most colourant, but what if the most colourant produces artifacts? A safer solution is to have primary ink limiting as part of the calibration process prior to rendering of the colour patch chart.
You can see the progression e.g. in the BEST RIP which since 2002 has been owned by EFI Electronics for Imaging. BEST started by allowing access to the raw colour device, with pooling problems and whatnot, but then introduced a primary ink limiting and linearisation.
The next thing you need to know is what colour test chart to send to the colour device, depending on whether the colour device is considered an RGB device or a CMYK device. By convention, if the device is not driven by a PostScript RIP it is considered an RGB device.
The colour patch chart is not tagged, meaning that it is deviceColor and neither CIEBased colour or ICCBased colour. You need to keep your colour patch chart deviceColor or you will have a colour characterisation of a colour managed conversion. Which is not what you want.
If the operating system is colour managed through and through, how do you render a colour test chart without automatically assigning a source ICC profile for the colourant model (Generic RGB Profile for three component, Generic CMYK Profile for four component)?
The convention is that no colour conversion occurs if the source ICC device profile and the destination ICC device profile are identical. So if you are targetting your inkjet in RGB mode, you open an RGB colourant patch chart, set the source ICC profile for the working space to the same as the destination ICC profile for the device, and render as deviceColor.
You then leave the rendered colourant test chart to dry for one hour. If you measure a colourant test chart every ten minutes through the first hour, you may find that the soluble inkjet inks in drying change colour. If you wait, you avoid this cause of error in your characterisation.
As you will mainly want to work with loose photographs, and not with photographs placed in pages, when you produce a contract proof using Absolute Colorimetric rendering from the ICC profile for the printing condition to the ICC profile for your studio printer, here's a tip.
Your eyes, the eyes of your client, and the eyes of the prepress production manager will see the white white of the surrounding unprinted margins of the paper, and will judge the printed area of the paper relative to that.
If, therefore, your untrimmed contract proof and the contract proof from Adobe InDesign or QuarkPress, or a EFI or other proofing RIP, are placed side by side in the viewing box your untrimmed contract proof will work as the visual reference for the media white.
The measured reference for the media white is in the ICC profile for the printing condition, to be precise in the WTPT White Point tag that you can see by doubleclicking the ICC profile in the Apple ColorSync Utility. This is the lightness and tint laid down on proof prints.
You, your client and your chosen printer will get on well if you remember to set up your studio lighting, and trim the blank borders of your proof prints. (Another tip: set your Finder to neutral gray and avoid a clutter of white windows, icons and so forth in the Finder when viewing.)
So far, so good. This leaves the nittygritty of specific ICC profiling packages and specific ICC-enabled applications. As for Aperture, do not apply a gamma correction to your colourant patch chart, or to colour managed printing.
As for Adobe applications, which you say you will be comparing with, you should probably be aware that Adobe InDesign CS3 has problems. When targetting an RGB printing device, the prints are not correctly colour managed, but basically bypass colour management.
There's been a discussion on the Apple ColorSync Users List and on Adobe's fora, see the two threads below.
Hope this helps,
