How to find files added in the last 8 hours that caused disk full

I used a program called Eagle Filer to archive about 20 Gigs of email from Entourage to a library on an external drive. Oddly, this process made my main (startup) disk full, which had about 16 Gigs available. Clearly this thing wrote a lot of data to my startup disk as well, but I can't seem to find it. It happened in the last 8 hours. What's the best way to figure out where these data are? Because they're individual emails, each file may not be enormous, although I'm guessing the parent folder must be. Simply doing a Spotlight for "files created in the last day" isn't revealing it. Maybe they're hidden somehow? How do I find it where all this junk landed?
thanks,
Mike

To find files in your home directory:
find ~ -newerBt '8 hours ago'
To find files on your drive that you have permission:
find / -newerBt '8 hours ago' 2>/dev/null
To find all files
sudo find / -newerBt '8 hours ago'
To see the file size, add "-ls"

  • How to use PowerShell to find files created in the last 15 min and bigger than 5 KB

    Hi! 
    I am trying to write to a text file, the files created in the last 15 min and bigger than 5KB
    I have created this PowerShell script but it's not working. Can somebody help me with this?
    $Notprocessedfiles = Get-ChildItem c:\test | where {$_.Lastwritetime -gt (date).addminutes(-15)}
    if ($Notprocessedfiles.lenght -gt 3KB) 
    $Notprocessedfiles | Out-file c:\test\maybe.txt
    Thanks!

    Do it the PowerShell way.  It is easier and faster.
    Get-ChildItem c:\test |
          Where-Object{$_.Creationtime -gt (date).addMinutes(-15) -AND $_.Length -gt 5Kb} |
          Format-Table -Auto |
          Out-String |
          Out-file c:\test\maybe.txt
    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    However, I was trying to figure out a way to do this without having to change the calling command line, because due to legacy reasons, it is not possible to change the command line calling the parent applications of this common code.You cannot change the command line, but you can change the applications?
    In main() do this:
    System.setProperty("whoami",(new Throwable().getStackTrace()[0].getClassName()));Elsewhere:
    String whoami = System.getProperty("whoami");

  • How to make Finder to focus on the last used foto in the iPhoto folder?

    Hello! I have a 1200-fotos iPhoto folder containing fotos of my last voyage. Im trying to upload some of them them to the account of one of the social networks.
    I scroll through them in iPhoto to chose the best then in Safari press "Upload from file" button on the website.
    But every time I press "Upload from file" button and finder window openeswith the focus on the very first foto in folder! And every time I have to scrooll through all the fotos searhing for the needed foto or have to press Command+f and search by name.
    In windows by default  I have a focus on the file being used the last.
    Any ideas how to manage files in this case not having to scroll all the previous files from hte very start?

    Alejandro,
    I have a 1200-fotos iPhoto folder containing fotos of my last voyage. Im trying to upload some of them them to the account of one of the social networks.
    What kind of folder? A folder with albums in iPhoto, or a folder in the Finder? If the Finder, how are you scrolling in iPhoto to browse a folder in the Finder?  Are you using iPhoto in a referenced mode and accessing the originals using the Finder?
    If yes, there is no connection between your browsing position in iPhoto and the browsing of original files in the Finder.
    If you want to upload a photo you have just seen in iPhoto, the simplest way would be to drag it from the iPhoto window to a folder on your desktop (that will export a jpeg version of the photo) and then to upload it from there. That would save you a lot of scrolling.

  • How can I make I-cloud back up only the files created since the last Time-Machine backup?

    Hi everyone,
    So, I wish to use time-machine to back up every six weeks or so. This means a whole range of files could be lost if my wonderfully fast but terrifyingly unrecoverable solid state hard drive packs up.
    Has anyone any idea how I can make Icloud only backup files created since the last time machine backup?
    Best
    Danny

    Automator is not the right solution.
    Use a folder action script. Apple has an example here: (Auto-backup Script):
    http://www.apple.com/applescript/folderactions/05.html
    the steps might have been written for 10.3, so the steps may not be 100% right, but this will do what you want.

  • In the last 36 hours my photos have jumbled within various albums. Random photos have attached at the end of an unrelated album, old photos have appeared again on Recently Added, some photos are missing but still on "collections". No date order

    Within the last 36 hours my photo albums have turned into a real jumbled mess. Random photos have appeared at the bottom of my Recently Added album. In most cases it's a copy of a photo that was taken months or years ago so now it appears twice.. 200 random photos have appeared in an unrelated album.  Some photos are missing completely. The date order is correct in some places and then it goes back and forth over the months and years. The "collections" appears to be okay.  This morning when I went into the photo app About 50 photos that were permanently deleted 3 months ago reappeared on the Recently Added Album which  I deleted again.  if  I delete these irreplaceable photos from the unwanted album it will delete the photo completely. Help please - this is so annoying and frustrating. I hate to think when I turn the iPad on tmoor row what else will have changed .

    Quick Update:
    I usually have my Mac laptop up with Messages running on it.  As you know, it will receive the same messages you send/receive on your iPhone.  I thought all my old photos would be there too, but they have all disappeared as well except for the last few.
    Messages is supposed to archive all old photos to  a directory called ~/Library/Messages/Attachments.  On my mac, this was a 0 byte file that was created back in Jan 2014.  As a result, none of the old photos got saved on my Messages app either.  I looked at a Time Machine Backup and it has been the case since September (no earlier backups available).  So, it's unclear how long this issue has been going on for my Messages app and how related it is to my iPhone problem.
    In any case, if any of you use Messages, you may be able to recover your photos in that directory provided it didn't get trashed like mine did.  I moved the file and created a new Attachments directory.  Upon relaunch, Messages started properly storing new photos in there again.
    Either there was a really terrible bug in the Apple software or something malicious has happened.
    P.S.  I'm running OS 10.9.5 Mavericks.   There is a thread of people with this problem on Yosemite here:
    No pictures are shown in Message om Mac
    This seems like a pretty seriously terrible bug.  I will be talking again to AppleCare on Wednesday and I hope they can escalate this.

    Updated to Adobe Muse 2014 this morning and have worked in it for the last 8 hours. Now when I try to publish the updated site to Business Catalyst for my client to preview it crashes everytime. I have tried just publishing altered files only, then tried the whole site again, and then tried publishing as a new site altogether. Thought I would then try to export as HTML in the hope of uploading the files via an FTP client and Muse crashes and locks up again. I am extremely stressed about this as I am in the last few days of of website I have been working on now with no issues since December. We are due to go live and my client needs to see it. I am desperate for an answer. It is not looking good. I am on an Apple Mac and have not had any isses publishing it for the last 6 months. Not very happy to say the least. Need desperate help.

    Hi Zak, I got onto Adobe Customer Care Live Chat this morning and gave them the error message. After some trouble shooting with them it appears the older archived file of the site still publishes. I have now reverted back to the old file and copied and pasted out of the new file and from some ideas given to me by support I am now able to publish to Business Catalyst. It seems there was something corrupt within the new pages added yesterday. I have no idea if this would have still happened if I hadn't updated but I am glad it wasn't a Muse specific problem. I am loving using Muse and the support from Adobe has been excellent. Thanks everyone. By the way I do love the new version and apart from this hick up that lost me a few hours, aged me some more and gave me grey hair I really love Muse. Thanks again.
