How do I see full contents of Flash Drive?

Finder shows only a few folders of the flash drive and the memory occupied by these folders is less than 50% of the total memory used. How do I see full contents of the Flash drive? Also if I delete one of the big folders that I can see, the available memory (shown in 'Get Info') does not change at all...
Any help is welcome...

Get OmniDisk Sweeper and run as root. Copy/paste into Terminal. Hit return. Give your admin pword, which you won't see as you type it in. Hit return again.
sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper

  • How can i see the content of the cache server 2 ?

    How can i see the content of the cache server 2 ?

    Caching server is backed by an sqlite database.  If you want to see what you currently have downloaded, you can glean some information by accessing the database.  Use this command to connect to the database:
    sudo sqlite3 /Library/Server/Caching/Data/AssetInfo.db
    Once connected, you can use .tables to see the tables in the database but the one with the most information appears to be ZASSET.  Use:
       select * from ZASSET;
    To list the current contents.  You will get a series of records similar to the following:
    26|1|5|0|868991341|402440412.42114|402507221.969799|ffaf18a45cd5dd5e853233629036 5767|30B9108D-ABE4-4061-A2E0-42E91301249B|Fri, 06 Sep 2013 18:21:34 GMT|/content/downloads/14/11/091-9722/ognnjd4fno85m4pbapjtnv23b7rf1mkufx/OSXUpd Combo10.8.5.pkg|
    Note that the final value is a human recognizable name of the package.  However, you may also see items like this:
    125|1|4|0|11622676|406739736.508118|406739736.508125|4f1f9b08b32f9f6211e4569604b 1efef|481BF3D9-99BB-415F-ADB6-860EDD24B08E|Thu, 14 Nov 2013 10:24:30 GMT|/us/r1000/032/Purple6/v4/37/a3/d2/37a3d2f7-2594-8224-7eda-712f17a3fd8b/mzps 6227198657217312566.D2.pd.ipa|
    This is an iOS application.  There is no real way that I know of yet to match the package name (mzps6227198657217312566.D2.pd.ipa) to a product name.
    When finished, type .quit

  • How do you see the contents of your "Domain" file?

    Thanks to this forum I have found out that the photo files on my Web site are stored in the Domain file under Application Support. How do you see the contents of this file? When I double-click on it, iWeb launches and I see the actual Web site.
    12" PowerBook   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   G4 1.5 GHz, 768 MB RAM

    i don't think it will work. because when you open up the domain file after you changed the size of the pictures, iWeb will probably save again while uploading - so the changes were for nothing. yet i haven't tried it.
    other way is to change them after you published. using graphic converter you just drag all at once in and change all the sizes at once.

    Repairing the permissions of a home folder in Lion is a complicated procedure. I don’t know of a simpler one that always works.
    Launch the 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 page that opens.
    Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
    chmod -R -N ~
    The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. When a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) appears below what you entered, it’s done. You may see a few error messages about an “invalid argument” while the command is running. You can ignore those. If you get an error message with the words “Permission denied,” enter this:
    sudo !!
    You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up.
    Next, boot from your recovery partition by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the recovery desktop appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
    In the Terminal window, enter “resetpassword” (without the quotes) and press return. A Reset Password window opens. You’re not going to reset the password.
    Select your boot volume if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.

    How do I see my contents in iCloud ? 

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Unfortunately your question is a little vague. If you mean how do you access icoud.com from your iOS device, then you can't. You should use the appropriate apps to view the data from iCloud  on your iOS device.

    How do I restore iTunes library from flash drive backup?
    HI Brigdool,
    It depends how you made the backup.
    If you copied your entire iTunes folder onto the flash drive, just copy it back to the appropriate place on the computer.
    If you copied individual folders or files, add them back to iTunes by inserting the flash drive in your computer, and then dragging the files into your "Automatically Add to iTunes" folder.
    The first method recreates your library as it was, with all playcounts, playlists, etc.  The second method builds a new library with the same content.

  • How do I re-install Safari adobe flash drive?

    How do I re-install the adobe flash drive?  We have had it for years and now it is  gone.  Message says "missing plug in".  We have tried to un-install the old one and re-install the new one for the past many months.  Our computer is a Mac, OSX, version 10.5.8, safari.  Everything else works great on the computer.

    Depends on what Mac you have:
    You can check here what version of Flash player you actually have installed:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html
    You can check here:  http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/  to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version,10.3.183.23 or later, is for Intel Macs only running Tiger or Leopard, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.4.402.265 or later is for Snow Leopard onwards.
    * Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC (G4 or G5) Macs, you need to go here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html  and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
    You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
    and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
    (If you are running a PPC Mac with Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and are having problems with watching videos on FaceBook or other sites, try the following solution which fools the site into thinking that you are running the version 11.5.502.55:)
    Download this http://scriptogr.am/nordkril/post/adobe-flash-11.5-for-powerpc to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.

  • Why can't LR import dialog see images on my flash drive or drive drive.

    Everything was working great and now LR (version 5.6/camera raw 8.6) import dialog cannot see images on my flash drive or on my hard drive.  I'm using a MacBook Pro Retina running on OS X 10.10  There are no issues using the same flash card on my wife's MBP with LR for imports (uses the same LR S/W version and runs on OS X 10.10 as my MBP).  Also, iPhoto and Preview can read and import the Flashcard images just fine.  I'm puzzled.  Does anyone have a solution?

    Thank you i found disk utilities... however i was reading in another area of the community that if I reformat it on my mac that it wont work on a pc.... The whole reason for doing this is so i can give my rough editted footage to my buddy so he can combine all the footage from our unit and make one big video, and he has a pc. Also if reformatting is the cure to this problem how do i know what to reformat it to. It doesnt tell me partition sizes for each option.

  • How do I transfer video on a flash drive to my ipad 3

    How do I transfer video from a flash drive into my I-pad 3.

    Not easily.
    First, I've had a 50/50 success rate on flash drives working. most do not.
    Second, the camera connection kit and iPad will ONLY see video files that follow a very strict naming convention. They must be in a folder named DCIM, and all file names must be 8 characters exactly. For example, SAN_2345 or the like. And the iPad will only see video files that it can play. There's a list in the manual.
    If you get a flash drive to work (and the only way to know if it works is to put a DCIM folder on there and see if the iPad sees it) you'll be able to open the folder, but no names will show. So you have to guess which video is which unless there happens to be a poster frame that shows you which is which. (I have several video files and I have to guess which is which)
    You cannot watch videos off the flash drive, you have to import them onto the ipad, watch then delete, so you need to make sure you have enough room to import your file.
    So it can work, but it is tricky. If you're going to do it you may want to consider using SD cards. That removes the obstacle of the flash drive not working since almost every SD card works (except for SDXC).

  • How do I import music from a flash drive that was formatted with a windows PC to my MacBook?

    How do I import music from a flash drive that was formatted with a windows PC to my MacBook - the drive is showing it has over 3GB of info on it but none of the files are showing up in finder?  I had backed up my iTunes library on the flash drive about a year and a half ago before I switched from a dell to a MacBook pro.

    What I found works for me is to make sure iTunes keeps the music files organzied in the iTunes Media folder according to album, artists, etc. and that it copies the music files there when adding them to the library.  That way, if something happens to the library, the raw files can always be re-imported again.

  • How can I access files from a flash drive that were previously saved using a Windows computer? When I attempt to open the file on MacBook Pro, it is asking to "convert file to"; I also have Microsoft Word installed on the Mac as well.

    Format the external drive as FAT32 or ExFAT. Both computers will then be able to read and write to it.

  • How do I backup to a USB flash drive?

    How do I backup to a USB flash drive?

    Do it with Windows, not with iTunes. Copy your whole iTunes folder from the hard drive to the USB flash drive. Or, if you have music not in the iTunes folder, then copy the whole My Music folder.
    Before you start, make sure the flash drive has capacity. Most iTunes libraries are bigger than most flash drives. If you need more room, consider an external hard drive, which have much more capacity than a flash drive.

    USB on Intel Macs has always supported booting, that is what MacBook users have had to deal with. With a Mac Pro you have four internal drive bays, Firewire, and all of those are more suited and capable.
