You simply need a inventory of your internal HD. Try a utility such as Disk Inventory which can be found at:

  • Colour differences & LR not deleting from hard drive

    Hi,
    I am running a Dell Dimension 1100, a NEC MultiSync 70 monitor, Xp SP 2 home, Olympus Master 2 and a full version of Lightroom 1.0,Photoshop CS2, and use a Olympus E-500 DSLR.
    I have a slight issue with how Lightroom shows the colours of my pictures when i am comparing Olympus Master 2 v. Lightroom 1.0. Most pictures its hard to tell the difference without going back and forth constantly, but when i look at my pictures of flowers or landscapes, my pictures look so much more vibrant in Olympus Master compared to Lightroom. Is this a settings issue? or perhaps something else?
    Also.....
    when deleting pictures from Lightroom, it asks me if i wish to delete from the hard drive or just remove from Lightroom, when i choose delete from hard drive, after it says its done, if i go look at the folder its still there :/.
    any help would be apprieciated, I am a novice dslr user and still learning how to use the softwares out there

    Are you shooting images in raw or jpeg mode?
    I assume that Olympus Master 2 is the raw processing software bundled with your camera. If so, then you are asking why Olympus software renders pictures differently than Lr. This question has been asked (and answered) many times but it boils down to the fact that the Olympus default rendering could be far different than that chosen by Lr. Also, Olympus may embed proprietary information in the raw image useful to Master 2 but entirely unknown to Lr.
    If you want Lr to operate more like Master 2, then create a Lr preset (with the appropriate adjustments -- likely a saturation boost), then apply this preset when importing.
    Finally, the camera raw engine (ACR) used by Lr is noted for producing images more muted than that produced by software bundled with cameras. In my opinion this is a good thing since the default rendering that many cameras produce is not at all natural. But the powerful Lr develop module allows me to create any interpretation I choose. Including a head spinning contrast and saturation boost.

  • How to delete the hard drive

    I've finally bought a new IMac and need to delete the hard drive on my Power Mac G5. How do I erase it so that I can be comfortable sending the computer to the recycler?
    Thanx.

    Drive Preparation
    1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.

  • Deleting from library does not delete from hard drive????

    itunes support states when deleting from library, it should prompt to remove from hard drive. i am not getting this prompt. i cannot find a setting that changes this either. please advise
    thanks,

    It only deletes it from the hard drive if it is in the iTunes Music folder path;
    Look at your itunes menu > Edit > Preferences >Advanced tab.
    "itunes music folder location"
    For example, say it is set to C:/Music. If you delete a file from the itunes library list that exists in C:/Music you'll get asked if you want to keep or delete the file.
    If you delete a file from the itunes library lists that exists in C:/SomeOtherFolder, it will not get deleted from the hard drive.

  • DELETING FROM HARD DRIVE ( USING AN APPLE)

    I had a hard time at first to figure this out.

    Secret !!! to remove from Hard Drive (you must empty trash)then they are removed
    Good Luck,
    Rick Rickard

    This is pretty standard behavior on a Mac, and it provides you wil another chance to reconsider esp. if you learn that you've trashed a whole folder instead of one image.
    You can also just hit delete from a folder view and get that dialogue.

  • How to option+delete (delete from hard drive) in iTunes 12?

    In all prior versions of iTunes it was possible to option+delete a single or multiple tracks, which allowed users to delete the 'physical' files from their drives, as well as from the iTunes Library.
    In iTunes 12, this option has seem to have disappeared (?)
    I've just updated to Yosemite (hence iTunes 12), and have changed nothing in my iTunes preferences since this post: iTunes 11.1.2 not registering new ID3 v2.4 tags (Deleting music from both library and HDD), where I had the same issue with deleting tracks from the hard drive.
    Has the keyboard shortcut been removed in iTunes 12???
    This is the warning dialog when 'option+deleting' a certain track: (which doesn't delete the file from the drive, but only the library)

    Yes, that's how it's supposed to work. But it doesn't. Or it does only sometimes. Here's what indeed is supposed to be available when right-clicking:
    Obviously I can click "delete" and it will ask me if I really want to and whether to send to trash, etc etc.
    However, here's how it works with the next item down:
    Sorry, I know that these are Mac screenshots, but this is the only place I found the problem described. If nothing else, let them serve as evidence that we aren't just imagining the problem.

  • How do you uninstall Citrix program? or delete from hard drive?

    I use a  Citrix plug in program with Safari to log into a VPN Hospital network.  I downloaded an older plug-in that apparently is not supported in Mountain Lion. I moved it to the trash and emptied the trash. I then tried to reinstall the plug-in and my computer said it was already installed AND that the plugin only works with OS X ? Is this a glitch? Just want to clean up my hard drive.
    PS the older plugin works with OS 10.7.4?  Should I dare go backwards with my OS to gain Acess to the VPN of the hospital network? Or just wait?

    If you still have the installer file and it comes in a .pkg or .mpkg format that's run by the Installer app, you can use the shareware Pacifist utility. It will let you dissect the installer file so you can determine where each little bit of code or data ended up and be able to wipe them all out.

  • How to delete iPod Hard Drive files? Help appreciated.

    Since I have under a thousand songs, I enabled my Nano as a hard drive on my PC, and put the library on iPod. I went over to my new iMac Core Duo, and placed the songs into the empty iTunes there. I deleted the iTunes Music Folder on my iPods Hard Drive, and disenabled it for disk use. However, when I try to update my iPod on my iMac, it still shows that the iPod is filled up with the iTunes Music Folder on the hard drive because it won't let me update. I checked the folder once again and it shows nothing on the iPod Hard Drive.
    My question is how do I delete that iTunes Music Folder, that I used to transfer songs to the iMac from my PC, off of my Nano's hard drive?
    Thanks,
    Martin

    Martin,
    If all the music is on your iMac, then why don't you restore your iPod...
    Restore the iPod
    Then reload everything from iTunes and the capacity and use space should be accurate.

  • How remove files from hard drive, retain on iPod?

    Does all music have to be permanently stored on my computer, to have it on my iPod?
    I have purchased CDs in the past, I still have the CDs and they work fine. I have imported them into iTunes, synched them to my iPod. That all works.
    Question: I want to save space on my computer, it's a laptop. I want to delete some of the music files from my laptop hard drive and keep the songs on my iPod. Can someone tell me how to do this?
    I have a 45 Gig hard drive in my Powerbook and a 30 G iPod. I don't want music files to permanently take up half the space or more on my Powerbook hard drive.
    What can I do?
    thank you,
    Bill

    If you want to delete songs from iTunes and keep them on the iPod you need to change the update option of your iPod to "manually manage music and videos" (this setting isn't available for an iPod shuffle, you can't delete from iTunes and keep the songs on the shuffle). The content of iTunes and the iPod are not syncronised in this mode so the two can be different, you can get details here:
    Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
    iPod - Syncing Music
    One major word of caution. If you delete songs or videos from your computer and have no back up other than the iPod you will risk losing them permanently if your iPod fails or you find you have to restore it to solve a problem. You should consider investing in an additional internal or external hard drive to store/back up your music. Alternatively at the very least back up anything you can't replace such as iTunes downloads to CD or DVD or an external drive:
    How to back up your media in iTunes
    Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive
    Something else to be aware of when using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device: Safely Disconnect IPod

  • Deleting from itunes deletes from hard drive

    I just noticed that if i delete a song from itunes it also gets deleted from the music folder on my hard drive. itunes points to my music folder because i get a library error when I point it to the itunes folder.

    I was having this problem and managed to find a solution.
    I had to change my iTunes folder to the same folder that my music was actually located in.
    In iTunes:
    Edit -> Preferences... -> Advanced -> (iTunes Music Folder Location) Change..
    Hope this helps some people.

  • Files not deleting from hard drive when I delete them from i-tunes......hel

    I just upgraded to Vista and I reloaded my songs to i-tunes. I have many duplicates that I want to get rid of. I deleted and selected move to recycle bin but they are not being removed from my hard drive. Please can somebody let me know why.

    iTunes will only remove (or ask) to remove) if the items are located in the iTunes music folder shown in iTunes prefs -> Advanced.
    If the items are in that location and it is not asking, then click on *Reset all dialog warnings:* in iTunes prefs -> Advanced.
    and selected move to recycle bin but they are not being removed from my hard drive. Please can somebody let me know why.
    Likely it is a permissions issue with the iTunes folder. Mkae sure you have full Read/Write permissions to the iTunes folder and all contents.

  • Lightroom 5:  "Remove Photo" will not delete from hard drive

    I just discovered that when I am using the "Remove photo" feature from the library, while the photo is removed from the catalog and "deleted", it remains on my external hard drive.  Is there a fix to this issue?  I did go to my external drive and create a file and then delete it.  I had read in other forums that this allowed Lightroom to find the correct place. This did not solve my problem.
    Thank you for any assistance.
    Karen

    Yes I do.
    After I posted, I tried it again in a different file (I organize my photos
    on my external drive by month and year).  In the month of August file, I
    can delete in Lightroom and it deletes from my hard drive.  It appears to
    only be happening in my September file, at least as far as I can tell now.
    I created all of my file folders 2 months ago, so it isn't something I
    just did.
    Any thoughts?

  • Identifying songs in itunes library that have been deleted from hard drive

    Hello,
    I recently had to delete a bunch of music from my hard drive by accessing it from another computer in the 'target disk mode.' Now I've got the computer up and running again but I don't want to go through my itunes library selecting each individual track that is no longer on my hard drive and removing it. Is there any feature in itunes 7 that will remove files (shortcuts) in the library with no source file in the itunes music or any other folders?
    thanks

    I'm running a managed library.
    Let me see if I can understand this. The problem has to do with the place I was looking at. I was looking in the pictures folder in the hard drive. Now, the pictures inside the iPhoto library are the ones that are deleted from the hard drive, and the ones in the Pictures folder are not being touched at all. So I have two separate folders with pictures: the iPhoto library folder and the Pictures folder inside the hard drive.
    Since I'm going to be using iPhoto exclusively I might as well delete that other Pictures folder in the hard drive. If I delete the pictures in this folder, would that affect the pictures I have in the iPhoto Library? I'm thinking no since iPhoto has made copies of all those pictures. What do you think?
    THanks for the info TD

  • Old podcasts were auto deleted from hard drive

    I download a handful of podcasts once a week and keep a regular backlog on hand to listen to when traveling. This week, all of my archived podcast files -- looks like anything older than one week -- are gone. They were still listed in iTunes, but the files were deleted from my hard drive. They aren't even in my recycle bin, so I know I didn't delete them.
    I assume this happened during my latest iTunes update (yeah, I know, this probably covered in the encyclopedic user agreement), but I'm curious if anyone else has experienced this and has a solution. I did spot the Allow/Do Not Auto Delete option, which I'll now use every time.
    Thanks.

    However I have a couple of grayed out folders with a question mark and "inval..." that are non-functional and nothing happens when I choose "remove".
    Try rebooting your computer.  In previous instances, that sometimes caused these phantom folders to disappear from Lightroom's folder pane.
