IDisk alternative to use with yahoo or gmail storage space

Hi All,
I remember seeing something called gDisk or something on freemacware.com, but seems like the sofware isnt available anymore. Does any know of an app that can be used like iDisk but using the space available in your gmail or yahoo account?
I love my .mac account and i hate to let it go, but i just cant afford $100 to renew my subscription at this time.
So if anyone knows of an application that would run along these lines, please advise.
Thank you in advance
Best,
Ronnie

Thanks for that, its just what i had in mind...but....
After playing around with it, i can see why they charge $100 for the iDisk. This application doesnt save directories, so i cant drop complete folders into it like i did with iDisk.
Anyone else know of any other app that works similar to iDisk?
Thanks again.

Sending PDF files, I can't open it with Yahoo or Gmail

Hi!!
I'm using Central Pro ver. 5.7 on HP-UX and It generates all the invoices of the company (PDF files).
When I send the PDF files using Central Pro to my customers, they can open it using Outlook or Hotmail, but If they want to open this email on yahoo or gmail, they can't do it.
In Yahoo, the application tries to show the PDF file open, so, you read characters rares only.
In Gmail, the email is empty, the attachments doesn't appears.
Do you know why this happen??
By the way, if I received the email from Central Pro and resend it to yahoo or gmail using Outlook, I can open the email in that applications without problems.
Best regards

Issues with exporting movie - insufficient storage space

Hello,
Last night I tried to export a 50 minute movie that I created - I checked my hard disk space and I had 4.3Gb available at the time. I didnt think I would have enough space to export in 720p resolution but tried anyway. Imovie started to create the movie but stopped ~60% through stating that it had insufficient storage space to complete the export. But now, instead of having 4.3Gb available I only have 335 Mb available as I believe Imovie did not delete the unfinished file when it cancelled the export (its storage usage went from 500 mb to 4.3gb after the failed export). The issue is, I now have to way of accessing the unfinished file to delete it and do not have enough storage space to export at a lower resolution! Has anyone else run into this issue?
Is there anyway to access the files embedded in iMovie?
If not if I delete iMovie do my saved projects remain?
Otherwise is there anyway to export my movie onto my computer directly?
I unfortunately did not back up the iPad prior to the export so I cant restore it from a previous point.
Really appreciate your help!

Sadly you are rather stuck at this point.
This appears to be an error in movie that does not clear the space if it is unable to finish creating a movie.
Your 50 minute video would be about 4 gb by my estimates.
imovie would first create this video within the app (apps are sandboxes and must create files within their own memory area).
Once the video is made, iMovie can copy this video to the camera roll.
The way iOS works is to avoid mixing data, thus it is a copy process.
Which means you would have to have 8 gb of space to create your video.
I am going to guess that iMovie correctly made the video, but now has no where to copy it.
And rather annoyingly it holds on to the video for now.
You need another 4 gb space to compete the export.
As you have not enough space left on the iPad you are in a bind and there are only a couple of options left for you.
Firstly, if you delete iMovie iOS you will lose your projects.
I do not advise deleting iMovie.
You cannot export the project, and iMovie iOS projects contain the source video.
So you would need about 4gb of space to export the project.
Also do not delete the source videos, iMovie just links to the camera roll.
So if you delete the video from the photos app then iMovie will lose the video too.
There is no way that is Apple sanctioned to clear the space in iMovie.
Apple has strict rules on what we can discuss in these forums, so I cannot help or advise how to clear iMovie of the half made video.
My best advise would be to delete another app, or files from your iPad.
I hope you have at some point backed up your iPad to your Mac, of iCloud?
If not then do so now.
Then I would suggest you delete large apps to clear space.
These can be restored later.
Look for games or apps that save their user data online.
I have a few Gameloft games, and they store my game data on their servers.
This way you can restore where you were later again.
Or you could connect to iTunes, and delete all the music off the iPad.
THen finish exporting the video, and restore the music later.
Have a look here to see how to use iOS to check what other apps are using space:

Good luck, and I hope it works out for you..

For the last 4 months I can not send any mail from my mac mail account. It will receive but not send. I have to use my Yahoo or Gmail account to send anything. When I forward or try to send a new email, a box wants my password. IT won't take my password.

A box comes up after I try and send an email wanting my password. I put the password in, the box disappers, then shows up again empty wanting my password. The same password is used to access Apple but Mac Mail will not accept it. It just stop sending about four months ago.

It is possible that you are in a transition period of time when Apple is shutting down the mobileME website. In fact, Mobileme.com is closed at this moment. I can see where you might be receiving email traffic and yet being unable to send email out using the mobileme/ mac dot com emaill address. Check this article out from Gigaom.

How come Photostream uses 734Mb of my iPad storage space, when Photostream is disabled, and there are no photos on the iPad?

I recently disabled Photo-stream on all my iOS devices, because I import them manually anyway, and the logic in Photostream simply did not catch on with me.
On my iPad, no matter that I stopped any photos from syncing to it from iPhoto, and got a completely blank photos archive on the iPad, it still claims under "usage", that I use 111Mb on my Photo Library, and a whopping 737Mb on Photostream.
Since this iPad is completely photo-free, it is a great annoyance that it still reserves 848Mb of space for photos. My available space on the iPad is 1.2Gb, and I have trouble updating some apps because of the missing empty.
I don't want to delete apps, when there is actually enough space, but Apple simply wont let me administer my space. I tried swiping right over "Photostream" and choose "Delete", but nothing happens from this.
And BTW, I did disable Photostream from all my iOS devices, and my iMac.

I also have this exact same problem - 35 photos taking up 1.5gb!
seems like a strange coincidence... and no Matt - this is not the Photo Stream - that is 258mb
with only a 16gb phone this is a substantial chunk of my storage.
anyone have a real explanation for this??

Used and allocated Shadow Copy Storage space is showing values in GB .

Hi All ,
This is an production issue and i need an urgent help on this case.
In my environment i am having exchange server 2013 in DAG extended with three sites.On that i am having two mailbox servers in the production site and one mailbox server in remaining two sites.
we have mounted all the mailbox databases in one production mailbox server.Those databases are present in LUN mapped to the production mailbox servers from SAN storage.
Issue :
Few of the mailbox databases are occupying too much of size on the LUN than it's original size.
Say for instance i have kept the mailbox database called "test" which is present on the LUN with the size of 190 GB.On that whole space the mailbox database is occupying only 100GB but on the diskmgmt and also on the explorer it is showing
only the free space as 17 GB.
Finally we have run the below mentioned command and found that the used and allocated shadow storage is occupying the size around 34 GB.
Attached snap for your reference :
Question : How to reclaim the space occupied by the shadow copy storage to the LUN ? If possible someone tell me why this issue is happening ?
Thanks & Regards S.Nithyanandham

Hi,
According to my research and technology, it’s caused by Volume Shadow Copy Service which is used to backup infrastructure for the Microsoft operation systems, as well as a mechanism for creating consistent point-in-time copies of data known as shadow copies.
We can use VssAdmin to create, delete, and list information about shadow copies. More details about Volume Shadow Copy Service, for your reference:

Besides, this issue may be related to Windows server. I recommend you to contact to Windows Server Team so that you can get more professional suggestions, please refer to:

IPhone 3GS with iOS 5 and storage space/app problems... Please read and help

I have an iPhone 3GS with iOS 5. Before the update I had a load of apps etc and was left with approx 4gb space left. Since the update removed ALL my apps from my iPhone, I still have the same ammount of space. Why is this?

Hi,
Are you sure your phone has not been unlocked or jailbroken at some time as the same thing happened to me.
I had the phone secondhand and did not know. Updating to IOS 5 locked the phone back to the original service provider which was AT&T in USA and I am in UK.
Hope this helps,

Help with purchased music and storage space for nano

I have a 2G Nano...I have purchased a few songs from itunes, but mostly transfered music from my CD's. The other day, I bought 2 songs from itunes and they will play in my library but not on my ipod. They show up, but when I go to them to play, it skips right over them. Any suggestions? I have updated several times and still no luck.
Also, I have a 2G, and I have 270 songs stored in my itunes library, and when I update (as I have several times in the past few days) it tells me that the disk space is full on my ipod, it is only using 1.01 G. Any suggestions?
Also, I have another question...if you resotre your ipod to factory settings, does it wipe out your songs in your library?
Thanks for the help...this is really bugging me.

See this article first.

Also, have a look at these articles.

Only on the iPod, it does not affect your iTunes library.

Trouble with my iPad's storage space.

I have a 16 GB iPad 2, and my settings say I only have 2 GB available, but my apps and services don't come CLOSE to filling up all that occupied space.

I would try a reset by holding the home and power keys down until the Apple logo appears.

Yahoo and Gmail are missing push inbox option in iOS 6.1.4

Dear all,
I would really appreciate of someone comes with a solution for push notifications using yahoo and gmail on iPhone 5 with iOS 6.1.4.
I am missing option for push notifications in bough email accounts (yahoo and gmail).
I have read somewhere that it has been cut for the native companies. If this is the case then I am missing some of the most distinguished features on the iPhone because these are the email account I am regularly using.
I have tried with yahoo and gmail apps but it seems it is ot working for me well. I would rather have integrated email in the mail app.
Any comments, suggestions and informations will be very appreciated.
Thank you in advance
Victor

Gmail does not support push email in the native iOS mail app. I can't comment on Yahoo as I dumped them years ago because their servers were so unreliable.
If it makes you unhappy, contact Google and Yahoo. There's nothing anyone else can do about it.

IWeb Compatible With Yahoo?

I am a volunteer for a non-profit organization that already has a domain through Yahoo Small Business. The previous volunteer had a PC and used Microsoft Publisher. I am wondering if I can switch to iWeb. I know that iWeb can publish using FTP but I want to double-check that it can be used with Yahoo before I recommend the organization purchase iLife.
Has anyone used iWeb for an already existing Yahoo domain?

Actually, BruceJ1 DID know what he was talking about. I have had an iweb website for the past few years, and have yahoo small business as my registrar and a hosting service through them. However, I have to have my Domain Name Server pointed to a DIFFERENT hosting service (which I also have to pay for) because yahoo cannot take filenames with spaces in them, and the other hosting service (webprodigy.com) does. Now, I realize I could/should just move my hosting from yahoo to webprodigy, but I keep thinking I'll find a fix since I really like yahoo, and they are already my registrar. Sounds like godaddy also handles filenames with spaces. I have recently upgraded to iweb '09 which I read on a forum changes the spaces to underscores. I'd like to get confirmation from anyone who is currently hosting an iweb '09 site on yahoo, especially anyone who started their site in an older version of iweb. Anyone?

3 Node hyper-V 2012 R2 Failover Clustering with Storage spaces on one of the Hyper-V hosts

Hi,
We have 3x Dell R720s with 5x 600GB 3.5 15K SAS and 128 GB RAM each. Was wondering if I could setup a Fail-over Hyper-V 2012 R2 Clustering with these 3 with the shared storage for the CSV being provided by one of the Hyper-V hosts with storage spaces installed
(Is storage spaces supported on Hyper-V?) Or I can use a 2-Node Failover clustering and the third one as a standalone Hyper-V or Server 2012 R2 with Hyper-V and storage spaces.
Each Server comes with QP 1G and a DP10G nics so that I can dedicate the 10G nics for iSCSI
Dont have a SAN or a 10G switch so it would be a crossover cable connection between the servers.
Most of the VMs would be Non-HA. Exchange 2010, Sharepoint 2010 and SQL Server 2008 R2 would be the only VMS running as HA-VMs. CSV for the Hyper-V Failover cluster would be provided by the storage spaces.

I thought I was tying to do just that with 8x600 GB RAID-10 using the H/W RAID controller (on the 3rd Server) and creating CSVs out of that space so as to provide better storage performance for the HA-VMs.
1. Storage Server : 8x 600GB RAID-10 (For CSVs to house all HA-VMs running on the other 2 Servers) It may also run some local VMs that have very little disk I/O
2. Hyper-V-1 : Will act has primary HYPER-V hopst for 2x Exchange and Database Server HA-VMs (the VMDXs would be stored on the Storage Servers CSVs on top of the 8x600GB RAID-10). May also run some non-HA VMs using the local 2x600 GB in RAID-1
3. Hyper-V-2 : Will act as a Hyper-V host when the above HA-VMs fail-over to this one (when HYPER-V-1 is down for any reason). May also run some non-HA VMs using the local 2x600 GB in RAID-1
The single point of failure for the HA-VMs (non HA-VMs are non-HA so its OK if they are down for some time) is the Storage Server. The Exchange servers here are DAG peers to the Exchange Servers at the head office so in case the storage server mainboard
goes down (disk failure is mitigated using RAID, other components such as RAM, mainboard may still go but their % failure is relatively low) the local exchange servers would be down but exchange clients will still be able to do their email related tasks using
the HO Exchange servers.
Also they are under 4hr mission critical support including entire server replacement within the 4 hour period.
If you're OK with your shared storage being a single point of failure then sure you can proceed the way you've listed. However you'll still route all VM-related I/O over Ethernet which is obviously slower then running VMs from DAS (with or without virtual SAN
LUN-to-LUN replication layer) as DAS has higher bandwidth and smaller latency. Also with your scenario you exclude one host from your hypervisor cluster so running VMs on a pair of hosts instead of three would give you much worse performance and resilience:
with 1 from 3 physical hosts lost cluster would be still operable and with 1 from 2 lost all VMs booted on a single node could give you inadequate performance. So make sure your hosts would be insanely underprovisioned as every single node should be able to
handle ALL workload in case of disaster. Good luck and happy clustering :)

Tiered Storage Spaces with LSI RAID Controller 9260-8i (no JBOD) - Performance Drop

Hello
I have a Lab-Server with a LSI-Raid-Controller 9260-8i and 2x 256GB SSDs / 6x 600GB HDDs. First I configured the LSI-Raid-Controller with a RAID 1 (2x 600GB HDD) and installed
Windows Server 2012 R2 with Hyper-V Role on this RAID 1. This works just fine. Then I configured the LSI-Raid-Controller with additional 6x "Raid 0 Drive Groups" where each Drive Group has one single physical drive
in it. And then I created 6 virtual drives out of these 6 Drive Groups. So far so good: my Windows Server 2012 R2 now sees 6 new Harddrives (4x 600GB HDD and 2x 256GB SSD). I then created a Storage Pool out of these 6 drives (with PowerShell /
assign MediaType SSD/HDD) and on top of the Storage Pool a "Tiered Storage Space" with Mirror Layout (2x 256GB SSDs mirrored and 2x2x 600GBs HDD mirrored). This gives me a Tiered Storage Space of about 1.3TB. On this Storage
Space I created a Virtual Drive of 1.3TB capacity. Success!! It seems to work fine.... Even I do not have a Storage-Controller supporting JBOD directly, I was able to create a Tiered Storage Space!!
Now where's the problem? Fine-Tuning the LSI-Raid-Controller Settings and the resulting
Disk Performance....
1) LSI-Raid-Controller: Virtual Drive Properties: What should I choose? Read Policy (Ahead or no) / Write Policy (Write Back with BBU or Write Through) / IO Policy (Direct IO or cached IO) / Disk Cache Policy (enable or disabled or unchanged)
/ Stripe Size (256 KB or ??). Do these settings conflict with the Windows Server Storage Space Layout?
2) Windows Server Disk Management (under "Disk XY"): Write Cache Policy? (activate Write Cache on this Device)
3) Windows Server Device Manager (under "Drives" - Microsoft Storage Space Device): Write Cache Policy? (activate Write Cache on this Device)
4) Performance - Results with Crystal Disk Mark: the inital Results after setting up the Storage were quite good (Seq R: 550 MB/s and W: 590 MB/s // 512K R: 490MB/s and W: 618 MB/s // 4K R: 18MB/s and W: 37 MB/s // 4KQD32
R:270 MB/s and W:37 MB/S) But 2 months later the values dropped to: Seq R: 290 MB/s and W: 170 MB/s // 512K R: 120MB/s and W: 239 MB/s // 4K R: 1.5MB/s and W: 31 MB/s // 4KQD32 R: 9 MB/s and W: 71 MB/S). Huge loss of performance
- SSD full?
5) Since this is a Hyper-V Server I put some VMs on it. The Performance within the VMs has also dropped accordingly. Are there any
best practices when placing VHDX-Files on a Tired Storage Space? I could of course assign one or two VHDX-Files directly to the SSD Tier, but actually I don't want that because that would use too much SSD-Space.
Any Experts on this Subject?
Mark

Hi Mark,
For the settings of the Raid Controller, it is better to confirm with manufacturer for detailed information. As you said these settings will affect with storage space settings.
From the description you set the 6 disks as 6 RAID0 groups. Is it supported to leave these disks as JBOD and directly add them into a storage space? If Raid settings will affect storage space performance, this could help us avoiding the RAID settings.
As data is already written onto the virtual disk, we may not available to recreate it. You could have a try with following PowerShell cmdlet to see if it will work better after optimize.
