If a video is in high definition, does it take up more space than it would in standard definition

I have freed enough space to hold a standard definition version of the series that I want to buy, but I wanted to get the high defintion version, so I was wondering wether there is any difference.

Yes, there is. High-Def is much bigger.
If you had say something that was 1.5GB in Standard, it would be probably about 4GB in HD

Why does indows takes up more space than it needs?

This is the third computer I have installed Windows 7 on since using Bootcamp and for a second time I have run into a wierd glitch.
After partitioning the internal drive with 65Gb for Windows, I installed Windows 7 and everything went smoothly as always, however.
When checking the remaining space on C: in windows it says I only have 23Gb of space left. This means that the Windows installation alone has taken up 42Gb!!!!!! Why? This has happened before and I have not been able to find anyone else with the same problem.
Should I reinstall windows?
Using Macbook Pro Retina.

Your math and the lack of details of how and why. I and others here generally recommend a 48GB minimum for Windows 7 64-bit.
If you don't control the page and hibernation file those alone can eat up twice your RAM or 16GB and up.
The core of Windows can take 22GB.
My systems generally use 34GB
run disk cleanup: system files. The install leaves behind a 1.2GB file and then run CCleaner regularly. You can clean out 4GB afterwards.
The partition needs about 10-12GB just for all the initial updates - Windows 7 is close to 3 yrs now and even SP1 was over a year ago. That temp space needs to be rhere and is just overhead
SSD will want 10GB for TRIM and Garbage Collection to perform properly.
60GB even for an SSD is $1/GB, even less for standard drives.
And then there are the people that need to use CampTune to resize their partition. Or someone that didn't plan and made it too small and cannot login after setup. Or didn't leave 20%/20GB or more for Mac HFS to function.

"Manually manage music and videos" takes up more space than syncing?

Hello all,
I fear that I am just stupid and unseeing an obvious answer to this query, but ask I shall, because it is frustrating me to no end.
I recently downloaded a few audiobooks from my local library to listen to on my iPod Touch; the app in question requires that you "manually manage music and videos" rather than syncing. Fine.
I switch over to iTunes, check the box, and now my music--without changing anything, mind--is now taking up an additional 1.8 (or more) gigs on my iPod. I toggle the option to "manually manage" on and off, and with it "on", my music takes up more space than with it "off", even though it's the same music, same podcasts.
Can someone please explain to me why syncing manually takes up more space than syncing automatically and where the extra gigs are coming from? There's not that much audio on my iPod--1.52 gb of music, 1.97 gb of podcasts and .69 gb of apps--which only adds up to 4.18 gb, and on an 8g touch, should leave me with about 4 gb of "wiggle room", so to speak, rather than .27 gb.
Help, please!

iTunes will normally put just one copy of each file on the iPod and link it to multiple playlists. If your iPod's database has been corrupted at some point however, there may be unattached copies of your meadia from earlier sync attempts, taking up space on the drive, but not visible in the library. How much space does iTunes report for Other? Excluding files placed manually & intentionally on the iPod, "other" is typically an overhead of 1%-2% of the size of the media and represents the iPod database, artwork, games etc. If you have significantly larger amounts of "other" then you will need to restore your iPod in order to reclaim the space.

Does Partitioning Tables need more Space

Hi,
Can some one tell me does Partitioned table need more space than a general tables(i.e with out any partition). If so what can be the percenatge difference.
Thanks

It is not having/not having any rows in a partition but rather init.ora parameter deferred_segment_creation setting. By default it is set to true, which means segment will be created on first insert.

Have you seen this type of problem before? I think it could be a serious issue for anyone in a similar position.
No; but then, I've not had occasion to use TDM. I've been using firerwire drives for over 10 years, both FW400 and FW800, with no issues except a bit of instability using a B&W G3 machine.
TDM should be safe. Using cautious, manual copying of files from the Target machine to the Host machine should not result in unexpected loss of files or damage to the Target drive's directories. It should behave exactly the same as if it were an external (to the Host) firewire drive.
• I don't suppose there is anything I can do to 'put back' lost items from a separate Time Machine drive which has an up to date backup on it.
There is probably a way to do that - seems to me that's one of the reasons for a Time Machine volume.
On the other hand, if the Time Machine volume is rigidly linked to the now-absent OS on the original drive, there may be no way to effectively access the files in the TM archive.
I know that using a cloned drive would work well in this instance.
I have no experience with Time Machine, so perhaps someone who has will chime in with suggestions.
With the machine in TDM with the other machine, have you tried running Disk Utility to see if you can effect repairs to the drive?

Does photostream take up storage space in my iPhone?

Does photostream take up storage space in my iPhone? I'd like to update to iOS 6 but don't have enough available space so want to free some up.

That would be a good question for the iPhone forum -it does not involve iPhoto for the Mac in any way

I exported a video in .MOV format at 1920x1080p 29.97fps and even though the video file still says it has the dimensions of 1920x1080, it plays back in squished, standard definition. Why is it doing that?

I don't understand why the video playback is squishing when the .mov file's dimensions are the right aspect ratio. When I exported with the codec .h264, the video played back the way it was supposed to, with HD/16:9 dimensions. Why is the .mov file not exporting/playing back properly?

Check your Pixel Aspect Settings in Export Panel

ScopeBox, does it work? More accurate than FCP scopes?

In the absence of real video scopes, how accurate is this? Or should I just stick to FCP scopes, which I know are not accurate....

So ScopeBox, better than FCP? I won't even launch Color, alas I cannot connect a broadcast monitor ...
I actually installed it, and after adjusting the color bars evaluated the footage... Is this how it works?
I export a movie from FCP then open it up with ScopeBox and evaluate what adjustments it needs, then make any necesary adjustments in FCP, then rinse and repeat?

Does iphoto take extra hd space?

Hello,
sorry if that question is stupid but I cannot find and answer.
I was wondering if more hard disk space is taken when you import photos from your regular picture folder into iphoto.
For example, if you have 100 gigs hard drive free, you import 5 gigs of photos from the regular picture folder into iphoto, are you left with 95 gigs of hard disk free space? In other words, does iphoto duplicate the photos you import?
thanks.

jmwan
Yes it does duplicate. By default, iPhoto COPIES the files into the iPhoto Library Folder when you import them. Of course, you can then delete the original versions if you want to.
However, if you're concerned about disk space, it's best to be aware of a key feature of iPhoto - Version Control. iPhoto never changes your original file, it always operates on a copy of it. So if you rotate a pic, crop it, fix red-eye or whatever, you should know that iPhoto creates a copy of the file incorporating your chnages. So you have your Original and a Modified version of the pic. This feature is a key element of iPhoto and cannot be turned off.
iPhoto also creates a thumbnail of the pic, for display, but this takes up an tiny amount of space.
You can also set iPhoto to not copy the files into the iPhoto Library Folder (Preferences -> Advanced). However, I don't recommend this as it makes you responsible for file management, importing and deleting pics is more complex, as is migrating the library to external HD's or to a new machine. Even in this configuration, iPhoto will still create a Modified version and a thumbnail.

Why does my iTunes show more photos than I really do on my device?

I only have 493 photos on my device but my iTunes shows that I have 644 and a lot of memory is used because of that? Any reason why this happens and how I might be able to delete the extra photos?

Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
If this does not help, setting it up as new device would be the next step:

Why does using AIFF Encoder use more space than original CD?

I import with the AIFF Encoder option, as I want the best possible sound quality. A Full CD uses 700 MB, yet when I import a full CD into itunes, it says that is is using more than 800 MB. How is this possible?

Using the AIFF/Apple Lossless encoder is different to using CDA or MP3 format.
This is like a comparison between digital and analogue.
Digital is about space efficiency - so, look at a CD - It's small right?
This is because they have only taken sounds within a narrower band-width than the band-width used on a record (vinyl) and they have also encoded it (it's like shortening 'male' to 'm' under sex)
Vinyl has a huge band-width (just compare a full-sized record to a CD) and takes every little detail of a song, every rich sound and keeps it as a value on its' surface.
This is the same as the AIFF of Apple Lossless format - they take every little sound and put it inside the file - which makes it high quality but huge!
I have compared sizes and AIFF of the same file is 10 times the size of the AAC.
The digital formats use maths equations rather than on/off values for sounds.
I would not use this format (AIFF or Apple Lossless) unless you were transferring from vinyl to your iPod and you didn't want much else because it is full of on/off values.
CD's have reduced quality of sound and downloads are limited to the speed of the servers for quality BUT if you still want good quality and small size, encode in AAC - It is better than an MP3 because AAC is 4 layers of maths instead of 3 layers in an MP3.
Remember though, there is no point in making a high quality file from a lower quality source - you are just filling your iPod with no noise!

Why does "Other" take so much space on iPad vs. iPod touch?

When I plug the iPad into my iMac, I ownder why the Other category is so much larger than that for my Touch. The iPad is 32 GB, while the Touch is 16 GB. The are similary loaded with my music, photos and apps, but that Other thing is way much larger.
Any thoughts?

Found the answer in another thread. Went from 7.2 GB to 1.12 GB after restore and backup.

Finder reports hard drive to have 2 times more space than Disk Utility does

I have a 1st Gen Mac Book Pro Retina with 256G SSD, OSX 10.8.2
Basically, when I open Macintosh HD in finder, it tells me that I have 91.08 gigs available. Then, opening up Disk Utility and clicking on Macintosh HD, I'm told I have 46 gigs of free space. Just to clarify, RAID isn't set up and I should just have a regular hard drive.

“You may notice a difference in available space statistics between Disk Utility, Finder, and Get Info inspectors. This is expected and can be safely ignored. The Finder displays the available space on the disk without accounting for the local snapshots, because local snapshots will surrender their disk space if needed."

Why does exporting take so much longer than in FCP7?

With the same computer configuration I am getting three times the rendering time with I go to either the projectings settings defualt or h.264. Nothing had been background rendered but it was never in FCP7 either. It seems like any text or other overlayed graphics are really slowing this process down. Thoughts?

That is not normal, but what is going on is hard to say without some testing. It could be cache-related, if you've gotten some corruption in some important caches. Try getting a copy of OnyX and clearing caches. (Note that cache clearing should be considered a troubleshooting step only... don't use such utilities for routine maintenance.)
You could also have a dying hard drive. That would not necessarily show up on hardware tests. Sometimes drive failures show up in advance in hardware tests or SMART status checks, and sometimes they don't. That could explain the excessive hard drive thrashing. If this is the problem, there may not be any reasonable solution until the drive finally goes kaput, or decides to change to a detectable imminent failure.
There could also be any number of other problems, such as low RAM, hard drive directory corruption, incompatible third-party software, etc. Try some of the techniques in the Mac OS X Speed FAQ.

Why does wifi takes longer with Lion than Snow Leopard?

My Macbook pro doesn't find my Airport nearly as quick with Lion as it did with Snow Leopard. Many times it will even jump over to another persons unlocked network even though my Airport is at the top of the preferred list of networks. It also shows a box saying that I am not connected even after I am connected, so then I have to click the box just to remove it. This is annoying as ****. Why is this happening? There weren't any similar problems when upgrading fron Leopard to Snow Leopard.
