Increase C: Drive and reduce Decrease E: Drive?

Hi all,
My C: Drive is constantly filling up which is causing the overall performance of my laptop to be very bad. It is very slow!!! I have not got many files etc. on my C: drive but it still keeps filling up soon after a cleanup and defrag. My E: Drive is constantly empty and I want to be able to use this space on my C: Drive.
I do not wish to move files to E: drive to "free" up space on C: because I have not many files on C: to move.
Can i change the volumes of each drive to increase capacity of C: and decrease capacity of E: or can i just delete E: and give all the space to C:
Any help would be much appreciated?
Thank You,
Colin

Hello Colin
Generally speaking you can do what you want and all this can be done in Computer Management > Disk Management.
I don't know which notebook model do you have but for notebooks with HDD recovery image it is not recommended to change partition structure because it can have negative influence on HDD recovery procedure. If you have never notebook model and if you have created recovery DVDs then you can do this. For OS installation you can use recovery disc installation only.
Back to your question.
In my opinion there is no big sense to change this partition structure because you can use free space on second partition for your daily activities. I don't know what are you doing exactly but all your data like mp3s, pictures, movies, office stuff and anything else can be saved on second partition.
You can also define second partition as download target and all files you will download will be saved there.
One your sentence is a little bit strange to me.
>You wrote

So I am asking myself what you are doing to fill partition C but there is nothing to be moved. Can you please explain it to me?

There are way too many photos on my internal hard drive. I have older libraries, and newer libraires in iPhoto and Aperture 2. What is the best way to find and reduce the number of duplicate photos/libraries before upgrading to Aperture 3?

Sharon-
Good idea.
Back up first.
I would probably wait for the merge function of the latest version before merging. Be sure to verify every merge.
Merge Libraries, then from within Aperture move images to referenced on external hard drives.

Did Lion's iTunes remove the video menu options to increase size and reduce size?

Did Lion's iTunes remove the video menu options to increase size and reduce size?
Is the ability to shrink or expand the video window from a menu item now really gone?

Itunes has not changed in Lion in this regard, you can still go to fullscreen from the menu, and use your input device to make the video window larger and smaller. does that help?

Is there a way of Apple increasing my memory and processors?

Is there a way of Apple increasing my memory and processors so that my 2010 MacBook will run faster? I use 3D programs and filmmaking editing software, and my laptop, as awesome as it is, can't quite keep up with what I do. The programs I am using:
Blender (Open source 3D software)
Final Cut Express
iMovie '09 (usually editing off an external hard drive)
I make most of my films in HD too.
I heard that you can manually replace the RAM and stuff, but Im not too keen on it. Being me, I might brake something. But does anyone know of a safe and secure place to buy extra RAM and memory and processors for a 2010 MacBook.

The only way to upgrade processors is to buy a new Mac. In your case a MacBook Pro would be more appropriate for the tasks you're undertaking.
Your MacBook will only take a maximum of 4GB RAM.
In addition to etresoft's recommendation, Crucial Memory is reliable and equally good service. I think this is the RAM for your model, but to be on the safe side, use the "scan my system" option to getthe exact match.

When I move a RAW file from IPhoto to my desktop or Photoshop it changes to a jpeg and reduces in size. How can I get the Raw file across?

When I move a RAW file from IPhoto on my macbook pro to desktop or Photoshop it changes to a jpeg and reduces in size. How can I get the Raw file to move across?

I create separate folders based on the year and then the actual date of when I take images. You can make those folders anywhere on any hard drive that is connected to your Mac whether internal or external. I also use the Photoshop Photo Downloader that is included with Photoshop/Bridge and it will create the date folder so all I do is create a Year folder.
Open Bridge or click on the Bridge icon in PS and in the File menu item in Bridge select "Get photos from Camera". It can be a camera connected to your Mac or a memory card from a camera. A window will open and you then select the camera or memory card. Set the location they will be downloaded to, just the folder and you can Browse to a folder that you created, then in the "Create Subfolders drop down select what date stamp you want to use or or custom name or not to create subfolders at all.
I've never cared for iPhoto one bit. I tried it but found it way to restrictive. It likes to have full control over how you interact with your images.

Will a more powerful processor increase my GMail and Google Apps speed??

Will a more powerful processor increase my GMail and Google Apps speed??

I take it that you know the processor in the iMac G4 is not upgradeable. It's soldered to the logic board. The 20" iMac G4 had the fastest process of any G4 iMac--1.25Ghz-- so you're maxed out there.
Do "About the Mac.." from the the Apple menu to see how much RAM is installed. Sluggishness can be due to too little RAM.
Sluggish performance can be a too full hard drive. Single click your hard drive's icon then do command i to see the values of Capacity, Available, and Used. the space Available should be no less than 10-15 percent of the vaule under Capacity.
For comparison, I have a G4 tower with a single 1.25Ghz processor and the same bus speed and video RAM you have, and it is not at all sluggish with anything other than Office 2008, which is sluggish all by itself. My G4 has 1.75G RAM and a bunch of free space on the hard drive.

Dynamic Calc processor cannot lock more than [100] ESM blocks during the calculation, please increase CalcLockBlock setting and then retry(a small data cache setting could also cause this problem, please check the data cache size setting).

Hi,
Our Environment is Essbase 11.1.2.2 and working on Essbase EAS and Shared Services components.One of our user tried to run the Cal Script of one Application and faced this error.
Dynamic Calc processor cannot lock more than [100] ESM blocks during the calculation, please increase CalcLockBlock setting and then retry(a small data cache setting could also cause this problem, please check the data cache size setting).
I have done some Google and found that we need to add something in Essbase.cfg file like below.
1012704 Dynamic Calc processor cannot lock more than number ESM blocks during the calculation, please increase CalcLockBlock setting and then retry (a small data cache setting could also cause this problem, please check the data cache size setting).
Possible Problems
Analytic Services could not lock enough blocks to perform the calculation.
Possible Solutions
Increase the number of blocks that Analytic Services can allocate for a calculation:
Set the maximum number of blocks that Analytic Services can allocate to at least 500.
If you do not have an $ARBORPATH/bin/essbase.cfg file on the server computer, create one using a text editor.
In the essbase.cfg file on the server computer, set CALCLOCKBLOCKHIGH to 500.
Stop and restart Analytic Server.
Add the SET LOCKBLOCK HIGH command to the beginning of the calculation script.
Set the data cache large enough to hold all the blocks specified in the CALCLOCKBLOCKHIGH setting.
Determine the block size.
Set the data catche size.
Actually in our Server Config file(essbase.cfg) we dont have below data added.
CalcLockBlockHigh 2000
CalcLockBlockDefault 200
CalcLockBlocklow 50
So my doubt is if we edit the Essbase.cfg file and add the above settings and restart the services will it work? and if so why should we change the Server config file if the problem is with one application Cal Script. Please guide me how to proceed.
Regards,
Naveen

Your calculation needs to hold more blocks in memory than your current set up allows.
From the docs (quoting so I don't have to write it, not to be a smarta***:
CALCLOCKBLOCK specifies the number of blocks that can be fixed at each level of the SET LOCKBLOCK HIGH | DEFAULT | LOW calculation script command.
When a block is calculated, Essbase fixes (gets addressability to) the block along with the blocks containing its children. Essbase calculates the block and then releases it along with the blocks containing its children. By default, Essbase allows up to 100 blocks to be fixed concurrently when calculating a block. This is sufficient for most database calculations. However, you may want to set a number higher than 100 if you are consolidating very large numbers of children in a formula calculation. This ensures that Essbase can fix all the required blocks when calculating a data block and that performance will not be impaired.
Example
If the essbase.cfg file contains the following settings:
CALCLOCKBLOCKHIGH 500 CALCLOCKBLOCKDEFAULT 200 CALCLOCKBLOCKLOW 50
then you can use the following SET LOCKBLOCK setting commands in a calculation script:
SET LOCKBLOCK HIGH;
means that Essbase can fix up to 500 data blocks when calculating one block.
Support doc is saying to change your config file so those settings can be made available for any calc script to use.
On a side note, if this was working previously and now isn't then it is worth investigating if this is simply due to standard growth or a recent change that has made an unexpected significant impact.

AE lost my control plus, minus and reduce in Top RH corner? Tech Help!

Hi all,
I have a strange thing going on. I could swear there used to be the standard Browser control of - + and reduce box in the Top RH corner like in any window and every other adobe product. However, I got a virus it was hiding in Adobe reader. I believe I cleaned it as I scanned with two different virus companies. Both came up nothing found. Cleared my Temp folder, dumped trash after un installing AE. Re installed AE and still no window control?
Plus in my system start tray where my programs are where Adobe Master Collection Folder is I open that an my AE icon is a generic icon, although it will work as a shortcut.
The other thing is that it is evident in my task bar as a 'pinned icon' Here is a screen shot of AE with no + or - in top corner...
Win7 Pro Srv Pk1
3770k intel
z77 mobo
Nividia quadro 4000
All is updated drivers/versions
I also lost Adobe Reader as I had to uninstall as that was the Trojan file home. I stuck the disc in but did not see the icon to re-install.

Ouch....HAHAHHAHAHAHHA LOL! THE PAIN my stomach from the laughter..... That was it! UGHH Damn you Adobe and remembering my last screw up.....LOL! Thanks Todd. You are correct.
Mylenium Not sure what you are referring to? Is that for the 2nd part of my question for Reader? I tried you command of Cntrl & # it went from one panel to the other in AE..
Now if I could get my Obsessive Compulsive disorder to settle down about the dead icon in my Program file under start bar. I will follow the link for the cleaner tool...
Thanks guys
Regards
Simon
EDIT: OCD handled. Restart Computer after reinstall to place icons globally, within my Workstation.

What's the difference between segment filtering and reduced message type

Hi gurus,
What's the difference between segment filtering and reduced message type? It seems they have the same functionality: Reduce the segment while idoc is generated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
BD53 is for IDoc Reduction.
this allows you to create a reduced message based upon a standard message type.If you want see mandatory fields. go to T-coe BD53 and give one standard messege type name and eg: matmas
there mandatory fields will be in Green color..
And BD56- This transaction is used to filter out segments of IDocs for combination of sender and receiver. This is usefull in scenarios where a standard IDoc with many segments is used but the receiving partner is only interested in some of the segments
the table related to this transation is TBD20
please go through below blog you have an idea abt that,

OCR and Reducing file size

I have a large document (a book) that I am trying to scan. I will be scanning it chapter by chapter. The book was printed in grayscale, so I don't have a pure BLACK AND WHITE document. I would like to optimize the file size, but I have a few questions about that.
Currently running:
Windows 7
Acrobat Pro X
Epson GT-S80 High-speed scanner
1. What is a good typical workflow? I have tried scanning the documents to PDF using the scanner's software then opening them up in Acrobat to OCR them. I have tried using Acrobat's Scan feature with OCR being one of the steps in the scanning process. I have tried letting both softwares do their own color mode detection, where they will mix black and white and grayscale to reduce the file size, but have typically told it to stick with grayscale because that gives me the cleanest and clearest document. Does anyone have any recommendations on getting a good quality image and using a mix of black and white, as well as grayscale, or should I keep using just grayscale?
2. I am having some trouble, I think, with the file size. I have a 12 page document I believe was either scanned at 300 dpi or was scanned at full resolution because I used CLEARSCAN, and downsampled everything to 300 dpi. I don't remember exactly, but that file is about 2.20 MB in size, and I think that runs about 185K per page. I would think there could be a way to get a smaller file.
3. For text recognition purposes, this document is not ideal because it is a collection of powerpoint slide sheets (2 - 3 slides per page), and in some cases there is text on top of image in the slides, and it seems very hard to discern.
4. Once a document has been scanned, and OCR has been run on it, I was under the impression that the OCR is in a separate layer, and that (if Searchable Text is chosen), you basically have a scanned image with another layer of searchable text. Because the OCR'd text is "there somewhere", is it possible to remove the scanned image text, and have just the raw recognized text, similar to if I created the document in Word, and created a PDF?
5. Sort of back to number 1, suppose I am stuck with leaving the scanned image behind, and just running OCR, what is the optimal way to reduce the file size of the PDF? I had read that running your scan at 600 dpi may help with the text recognition. The same article suggested doing the higher resolution scan and using the ClearScan because it would a) recognize the text better and b) convert the text image to actual text and reduce the file size. From there, should I then just run the PDF optimizer to downsample the images to a certain DPI to further reduce the size?
Hopefully you all can understand what I am saying and help fill in some gaps.
Thanks,
Ian
