I need some help to create more space on my hard drive-what can I delete?  I have my external G-DRIVE connected as a back up, so i think I'm duplicating a lot of back up files, mostly photos through Lightroom on my Mac HD. Only 9GB left out of 297GB...

Have never had to retrieve backed up files so I think I'm just chicken to delete files on my Mac.  Is everything on my back up if I need it?  Even photos that have been processed in Lightroom?  Could I delete all older photo folders from my Mac and still get them from external drive if I needed them down the road?  I have run a GrandPerspective scan and it appears most of my disk space is used for photo files and back-ups...probably have 30,000-40,000 photos.  Thanks!

Look at getting Onyx, as you have alot of photo's, and so do I. Onyx will help clear somethings from you Mac, all you have to do is run Automation, and or Cleaning. Is that 30,000-40,000 Photo's Duplicates? if so, you might want to delete as many as the those duplicates as possible. i see you use Lightroom, are you useing that to import your images or are you useing something else like Iphoto, or just importing them to your mac. if you are using something else to import your photo's and then reimporting them, this might create duplicates of images. also sometimes when you delete images you dont want, they might not be acctually deleted. so clear you Trash, and run onyx to help clear these things up.
I know there are a few different programs out there that will help clrear out duplicates of items, and help you reduce space.
Duplicate-Annihilator Looks for images in Iphoto that are the same, and allows you to change them or delete them.

TidyUp ($$) Will look for Music, Pictures Documents, or any duplicates.

  • What files are safe to delete to create more room on my hard drive?

    I'm using my G-4 QuickSilver as my ProTools M-Box LE computer exclusively. What files can I safely delete to create more room on my hard drive for processing and speed?

    I bought a low cost external drive enclosure. When I started having trouble with it, I did a google search and found a lot of complaints about the drive enclosure. I ended up buying a new drive enclosure. On my second go around, I decided to buy a drive enclosure with a good history of working with Macs. The chip set seems to be the key ingredient. The Oxford line of chips seems to be good. I got the Oxford 911.
    The latest the hard drive enclosures support the newer serial ata drives. The drive and closure that I list supports only older parallel ata.

  • I just saved my iphoto original library to my external hard drive, now how do i create new space on my hard drive and create a new iphoto library

    i just saved my iphoto original library to my external hard drive, now how do i create new space on my hard drive and create a new iphoto library

    Trash the copy of the library you just moved. Then Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    But do you want to have two iPhoto Libraries? Why not just use the one on the External?

  • Need some help in creating Search Help for standard screen/field

    I need some help in adding a search-help to a standard screen-field.
    Transaction Code - PP01,
    Plan Version - Current Plan (PLVAR = '01'),
    Object Type - Position ( OTYPE = 'S'),
    Click on Infotype Name - Object ( Infotype 1000) and Create.
    I need to add search help to fields Object Abbr (P1000-SHORT) / Object Name (P1000-STEXT).
    I want to create one custom table with fields, Position Abb, Position Name, Job. Position Abb should be Primary Key. And when object type is Position (S), I should be able to press F4 for Object Abb/Object Name fields and should return Position Abbr and Position Name.
    I specify again, I have to add a new search help to standard screen/field and not to enhance it.
    This is HR specific transaction. If someone has done similar thing with some other transation, please let me know.
    There is no existing search help for these fields. If sm1 ever tried or has an idea how to add new search help to a standard screen/field.
    It's urgent.
    Thanks in advace. Suitable answers will be rewarded

    Hi Pradeep,
    Please have a look into the below site which might be useful
    Enhancing a Standard Search Help
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/daeda0d7-0701-0010-8caa-

    A search help exit is a function module for making the input help process described by the search help more flexible than possible with the standard version.
    This function module must have the same interface as function module F4IF_SHLP_EXIT_EXAMPLE. The search help exit may also have further optional parameters (in particular any EXPORTING parameters).
    A search help exit is called at certain timepoints in the input help process.
    Note: The source text and long documentation of the above-specified function module (including the long documentation about the parameters) contain information about using search help exits.
    Function modules are provided in the function library for operations that are frequently executed in search help exits. The names of these function modules begin with the prefix F4UT_. These function modules can either be used directly as search help exits or used within other search help exits. You can find precise instructions for use in the long documentation for the corresponding function module.
    During the input help process, a number of timepoints are defined that each define the beginning of an important operation of the input help process.
    If the input help process is defined with a search help having a search help exit, this search help exit is called at each of these timepoints. If required, the search help exit can also influence the process and even determine that the process should be continued at a different timepoint.
    timepoints
    The following timepoints are defined:
    1. SELONE
    Call before selecting an elementary search help. The possible elementary search helps are already in SHLP_TAB. This timepoint can be used in a search help exit of a collective search help to restrict the selection possibilities for the elementary search helps.
    Entries that are deleted from SHLP_TAB in this step are not offered in the elementary search help selection. If there is only one entry remaining in SHLP_TAB, the dialog box for selecting elementary search helps is skipped. You may not change the next timepoint.
    The timepoint is not accessed again if another elementary search help is to be selected during the dialog.
    2. PRESEL1
    After selecting an elementary search help. Table INTERFACE has not yet been copied to table SELOPT at this timepoint in the definition of the search help (type SHLP_DESCR_T). This means that you can still influence the attachment of the search help to the screen here. (Table INTERFACE contains the information about how the search help parameters are related to the screen fields).
    3. PRESEL
    Before sending the dialog box for restricting values. This timepoint is suitable for predefining the value restriction or for completely suppressing or copying the dialog.
    4. SELECT
    Before selecting the values. If you do not want the default selection, you should copy this timepoint with a search help exit. DISP should be set as the next timepoint.
    5. DISP
    Before displaying the hit list. This timepoint is suitable for restricting the values to be displayed, e.g. depending on authorizations.
    6. RETURN (usually as return value for the next timepoint)
    The RETURN timepoint should be returned as the next step if a single hit was selected in a search help exit.
    It can make sense to change the F4 flow at this timepoint if control of the process sequence of the Transaction should depend on the selected value (typical example: setting SET/GET parameters). However, you should note that the process will then depend on whether a value was entered manually or with an input help.
    7. RETTOP
    You only go to this timepoint if the input help is controlled by a collective search help. It directly follows the timepoint RETURN. The search help exit of the collective search help, however, is called at timepoint RETTOP.
    8. EXIT (only for return as next timepoint)
    The EXIT timepoint should be returned as the next step if the user had the opportunity to terminate the dialog within the search help exit.
    9. CREATE
    The CREATE timepoint is only accessed if the user selects the function "Create new values". This function is only available if field CUSTTAB of the control string CALLCONTROL was given a value not equal to SPACE earlier on.
    The name of the (customizing) table to be maintained is normally entered there. The next step returned after CREATE should be SELECT so that the newly entered value can be selected and then displayed.
    10. APP1, APP2, APP3
    If further pushbuttons are introduced in the hit list with function module F4UT_LIST_EXIT, these timepoints are introduced. They are accessed when the user presses the corresponding pushbutton.
    Note: If the F4 help is controlled by a collective search help, the search help exit of the collective search help is called at timepoints SELONE and RETTOP. (RETTOP only if the user selects a value.) At all other timepoints the search help exit of the selected elementary search help is called.
    If the F4 help is controlled by an elementary search help, timepoint RETTOP is not executed. The search help exit of the elementary search help is called at timepoint SELONE (at the
    F4IF_SHLP_EXIT_EXAMPLE
    This module has been created as an example for the interface and design of Search help exits in Search help.
    All the interface parameters defined here are mandatory for a function module to be used as a search help exit, because the calling program does not know which parameters are actually used internally.
    A search help exit is called repeatedly in connection with several
    events during the F4 process. The relevant step of the process is passed on in the CALLCONTROL step. If the module is intended to perform only a few modifications before the step, CALLCONTROL-STEP should remain unchanged.
    However, if the step is performed completely by the module, the following step must be returned in CALLCONTROL-STEP.
    The module must react with an immediate EXIT to all steps that it does not know or does not want to handle.
    Hope this info will help you.

    The best tool to add this kind of particle is After Effects.
    If you have the Creative Cloud then I recommend you download that.
    Slightly annoying voice over, but here is a youtube tutorial you can follow top make floating particals. You can adjust it to make it look exactly as you want.

  • How do I create more space on my hard disk?

    What's the best way to clean out my harddrive to create more room. How do I know what caches I can get rid of what I need to keep. Is there a good program to improve performance and clean out to make more space. Please advise. I have never "cleaned" my macbook and I know it needs it.

    While deleting caches is normally safe, see Myth #4.
    Note that your Library folder contains all of you Mail and attachments. If you've got a lot of email with large attachments, you can really fill up the Library folder.
    Your user installed Fonts and Log files are also in there. If you have a program that is constantly writing log entries without cleaning it up, it could create a large file after a short time.
    The Cache folder on my system is 1.22 GB with the total Library of 2 GB.
    Everything else in there shouldn't be taking up much space.

  • How to acquire more space on the Hard Drive

    Hi everyone! I hope some one has the time to walk me thru steps to take to get more space on my HD. My comoputer is running very slow. I have been reading this site for info. I have a powerbook G4, 867 MHz, 1 GB SDRAM, only 40 gig HD. I run, iphoto, CS2, mail and safari. I only edit digital photos and do email and surfing.
    I read from a post to delete the console log from finder. I clicked on the HD icon and went to library/logs/console and delete some things from it. I hope I didn't screw up.
    I have deleted some languages and lots and lots of docs etc.
    I am wondering if I should get rid of the dash board widgets? would that help? I never use them. if so how do I do that??
    I feel stupid for having to ask this probably very basic question but I sure hope someone will help me.
    Thanks alot
    Diana

    General clean up is never a bad idea if you are careful about what you get rid of. However, if you are running out of space you should concentrate on getting rid of larger files. There are a number of ways to do this built-in to "OS X", two of them are using the Option-F Finder key and specifying file size, etc. and using the terminal (my preference being an old Unix-junkie).
    There are also applications made for this. Easiest might be DiskSweeper (http://www.omnigroup.com/applications/omnidisksweeper/), you can use it for free - just have to delete the files yourself. Again, know what something is before you delete it.
    Oh, and an external hard drive is always a good idea. I try to move most of my non-speed critical files off the main drive to maintain a healthy drive.

  • Why is my Time Machine Backup Taking More Space then my Hard Drive?

    I have a Late-2009 MacBook model with a 250GB hard drive.  My external drive is 1TB.  I use it for Time Machine backups as well as other storage.  My backups on that drive are a bit less then 900GB, which is 90% of that disk.  My hard drive is only 250GB so how is it over 3 times as large?  I would like to have more storage for other files.  What would you recomend doing?  Can I partition the external disk?

    How time machine works is that it makes an initial back up and from there it scans your system for changes.  When it finds a change it adds the changes on top of your current backup. So if you have a folder full of pictures then rename them or change them, etc it'll resave/archive the pictures ontop of what it already backed up.  It doesn't keep a single "state" of backup.  This allows you to "look back in time" and see if you can find something you might have accidentally changed or deleted or etc.  Once the disk becomes full it will delete the oldest backups to keep archiving newer files.
    I would suggest that you partition your external drive to a size that allows you to keep free the desired extra storage space you're looking to use.  For example partition the drive to two 500GB partitions one for storage one for time machine.

  • Still trying to get more space on my hard drive, how to move final cut?

    Is it possible to just move final cut pro, all the videos and everything inside, to my external hard drive? My macbook pro 2012 hard drive is getting full and I think its because of all the HD video clips... I am trying to store them on my external, but not sure of the best way. Move all the events or just move the application as a whole?

    It depends whether you imported with Copy Files to Final Cut Events Folder in your Import Preferences. If you did then moving the contents of Events and Projects should do the trick. One way you can check is simply move a project/event out of the Movies folder and relaunch with your external drive.
    If the projects load without any issues or offline media then you can safely delete the copy on your system drive. And yes you'd need to have the external drive attached to use any Events or Projects stored there. FCPX will still launch if the drive isn't attached- it will just not load those contents. Projects and Events will default back to the system drive.

  • Need some help in creating client proxy to call webservice

    Hi experts,
    I am new to ABAP so couldnt understand the SAP ABAP jargons.
    On of my colleague has written one search help exit function and i need to use that and have to write client proxy to establish connection to webservice.
    I never worked on proxy or webservice so, struggling to understand the concept and steps.
    I am following second part i.e Release 640 part of /people/thomas.jung3/blog/2004/11/17/bsp-a-developers-journal-part-xiv--consuming-webservices-with-abap weblog.
    I couldnt find "To get the process started, we turn to our old friend SE80. <b>From the Enterprise Services Tab, we are going to select Client Proxy and then hit create"</b>
    when i go to transaction se80 ObjectNavigator, i could see two dropdown lists after some tabs.
    in first list, I have selected, "Application Hierarchy", and in second I am selecting "Package".
    Not sure whether its correct or not.
    Once i do this i could see long list of <b>Object name and its description.</b>
    Now, what should i do ? where should i go for "Enterprise Services Tab" to create my proxy.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Please send me PDF, having detailed steps to create client proxy.
    Thanks,
    Pranav

    Right click on the package and select Proxy object. In the Wizard select Service Consumer.
    then give the url of the WSDL file you want to access or path if u have a local file.
    then give the package for client proxy.
    then complete the wizard. the  client proxy will be create in that package.
    Next step will be creating a Logical Port using the transaction "lpconfig". Give the proxy name of the service interface created under client proxy. and set the configuration as follows.
    1. Make as a default port.
    2. in the URL, give the url of the webservice (.asmx)
    3. select "State Enabled" and "Message ID"
    and after creating a logical port,  set the proxy settings as in your webbrowser.
    (Http proxy server and port).
    then simply execute your webservice from SE80.

  • I need some help on creating a query

    This is my first crack at writing query's.  
    I am trying to create a query for a list on clients with a file name on the system. I found a lot of samples on the web, however i keep getting errors on all of them. 
    Here is on sample:
    select SMS_G_System_COMPUTER_SYSTEM.Name, 
    SMS_G_System_SoftwareFile.FilePath, SMS_G_System_SoftwareFile.CreationDate, 
    SMS_G_System_SoftwareFile.FileDescription, V_R_System.ResourceType, 
    V_R_System.ResourceId from V_R_System inner join SMS_G_System_COMPUTER_SYSTEM on 
    SMS_G_System_COMPUTER_SYSTEM.ResourceID = V_R_System.ResourceId inner join SMS_G_System_SoftwareFile on 
    SMS_G_System_SoftwareFile.ResourceID = V_R_System.ResourceId where SMS_G_System_SoftwareFile.FileName = "test1234.exe" 
    First i was getting an error:
    Invalid object name 'SMS_R_System' and i had to change to V_R_System instead of SMS_R_System. "Is it because
    SQL and WQL difference?????"
    Now i am getting Invalid object name 'SMS_G_System_COMPUTER_SYSTEM' "Here is where i am stuck"
    If possible i would like to explanation as well "maybe some good links", please keep in mind just getting started with query's.
    Thanks for the help.
    I am writing/testing query in sql management studio.
    If there is a better way or a tool please let me know.

    The application i am looking for does not show up in ADD/REM.
    I was asking what is the difference between V_R_System instead of SMS_R_System?
    And what should i use instead of SMS_G_System_COMPUTER_SYSTEM?
    Maybe you can share some links so i can read a little more?
    Thank you.

  • Need Some Help in creating chart description is long thanks for ur time.

    Hi, I was asked to create a chart for an existing report which is Average number of days open versus Profit Center.
    I need to calculate Average number of days open as a sum of {command.Days_Opened}/Record Count.
    Record Count = number of records with days open <> 0 in a group
    I created a running total name Evalution and put it in details with formulae
    whileprintingrecords;
    Numbervar i;
    if (command.days_open) <> 0 then
      i := i+1;
    else
    i
    In group headder i put @reset with the following syntax: whileprintingrecords; Numbervar i := 0;
    in Group footer again Display with formulae whileprintingrecords; Numbervar i;
    so i finally got avg. number of days open as Sum of {command.Days_Open}/@dispaly
    tested the formule and is working well.
    But the problem is this formulae doesnt work in chart. How can i resolve this problem

    Sandeep,
    Your question was posted in the "General" forum, however, it appears that you have a specific question centering around an application.  I would suggest that you close this entry and re-post your question in the applicable forum (for example, Crystal or Web Intelligence, etc, etc).
