Macintosh HD space seem too low

When I changed over from a PC to a MB in June this year I had a 60 GB HD in the PC of which I had only used 30 GB.
Today looking at the space left on my MB HD it's showing only 39 GB free out of a 120 GB HD! is there any way in Tiger to show were all the HD space is being used?
Cheer,

Good Morning,
You can easily check the storage space being used by individual folders by right clicking on the folder and selecting 'Get Info' from the menu, it will provide you a readout of how much drive space is being used by that folder. If you find one using a lot of drive space, drill down a bit more until you can locate the offending file or folder!
Hope this helps! 

Read this when your memory speed seems too low

You noticed that your memory is not running at the speed that you expected and you are wondering
why that is. Here is the most likely answer to that.
Many monitoring programs don't show you the double data rate (DDR) of your memory. So, first, multiply your memory frequency by 2 to get the double data rate. For example, when using PC4300 ram, you get a memory frequency of 267MHz, in stead of 533MHz. 266 is only half the speed of 533, so your monitoring program shows single data rate, not double. With PC3200 it goes 200/400MHz, etc.
The second thing you should consider is the following. The combination of certain memory frequencies and CPU-speeds make it impossible for the memory/cpu to run at full data rate specified by the memory manufacturer. I'll take my own system as an example to show what I mean.
- 2 Opterons 2212, running at 2000MHz.
- PC4300 memory installed. Maximum speed is 267 (single data rate) or 533 (double data rate) MHz.
Now, the following happens: To get the right memory clock speed, the cpu speed is divided by a number. In this case, it would be:
2000/266=7.5 .
This outcome is not possible for the CPU. It needs a round (solid) number. In this case the choice is between 7 and 8. However, when using 7, chances are that the system will not run stable, because the outcome is higher than the memory can handle (guarenteed):
2000/7=286MHz (572MHz DDR).
So, the higher numer (8) is chosen, giving this result:
2000/8=250MHz (500MHz DDR).
In my case, CPU-Z reports a data rate of about 250MHz. Note the first remark I made: you need to
multiply by 2, to get the doube data rate (DDR) speed: 500MHz.
If you oc the cpu speed slightly, memory speed will increase a bit as well. Example: when overclocking the cpu to about 2125MHz, the memory will start running at the speed it can handle:
2125/8=266MHz (533MHz DDR).

Does the number of memory chips affect this behavior? I have two 1GB PC3200 chips for my MSI KT8 Neo FISR. When I run each one separately, it registers as 200MHz (DDR400) in memtest86. When run together, they register as 100MHz (DDR200). This alarms me to no end, but it sounds like this is expected, yes? If so, why do they "appear" to run at full speed singly, but half-speed running together? And will the actual speed of the two running together match the speed of one by itself (otherwise, I'll see a performance hit when upgrading from 1GB to 2BG)?
Sorry for the newbie-sounding question, but memory's been over my head since my 72-pin's went out of style
Thank you

Storage space too low to function

After hotsync procedure, Palm TX now says "Extensions are not loaded because free data storage space on the device is low. Delete application or data then reset the device again. APP8004" After pressing "OK" it says "the free data storage space is very low. Delete application or data. APP 8002." Problem is it won't let me go the home screen - it just goes back through these warnings. How do I delete a program or two to free up space. My PDA has downloaded medical programs on it that were required for school. I don't yet have any documents or emails to delete. Help!

Whoops! Missed the part about not being able to get to the home screen!
Try a "Warm Reset". Press and hold the UP direction on your 5-way pad, and tap and release the Reset button in the back. Release the UP direction when the grey Palm logo appears on the screen.
This is like a "safe mode" boot on a Windows PC. It may let you get to the launcher screen and the Delete menu.

Pop up window saying Memory is too low to continue in Logic.Why?Way to Fix?

I recently purchased my IMac OSX 10.6.3 as well as Logic. I have about a half dozen projects on my hard drive now, which is also being backed up to a "time machine" external drive. The projects are pretty small( just piano, or piano and string quartet, etc.) I also just installed Office Suite for Mac and the full Adobe Creative Suite.
Recently when I have been working in the Score Editor(In Logic Pro 9), a pop up window appears saying something to the effect of "memory is getting low, don't install more plugins and remove any unused ones." Then today, after that pop up, another one showed up and said "memory is too low to continue. we will close project, autosave, etc. etc."
Why is this happening? Is there not enough memory on my computer? Will this actually effect editing procedures in Logic? (because it seems like some things aren't working like they used to) Is there a quick and easy fix? Is this related to space remaining on hard drive, or is it completely different? Could it be related to the IMAC backing up files to my "time machine" drive at the same time I am working in LOGIC?
Could someone who has a little time on their hands please answer these questions IN DETAIL? I am new to MAC and LOGIC, so I really have no Idea what's going on with the memory issue. I don't even understand how MEMORY corresponds to available space, quality of running programs, etc.
Please help. I'm working on a deadline to finish a Master's portfolio and this could potentially be a big bump in the road for me.
Thanks....

The System Requirements for Logic Studio call for a minimum or 1 GB RAM with 2 GB recommended. So you should not have a problem with your 4 GB.
First make sure your RAM is being recognized by your computer. Go to Apple Menu (apple in upper left hard corner and click on "About this Mac". Make sure it say 4 GB. Ram chip at times will go bad or become unseated.
Now for troubleshooting, here is what I would do. The next time you want to use Logic, restart your computer. Restarting "flushes" the RAM; it may not sound like it but that is a good thing. Then do not open any other programs other than Logic (except ones you may need for it). You listed an awesome group of software you own. Your computer is not set up for all these programs to automatically start up when you turn on the computer, is it??
So I am betting that you will not get the low memory message when only Logic is working. With some trial and error you will be able to open more and more programs at the same time without effecting Logic.
You can better understand your RAM by opening Activity Monitor (Applications >> Utilities >> Activity Monitor). Click on the System Memory tab at the bottom and you can visualize what your RAM (Memory) is doing. There is also a list of programs that are open and what resources they are sucking up.
Good luck with your computer and your masters.

Volume too low on ringer and with hands-free headsets

Both the ringer's volume and the volume within headsets are too low in my new Droid X. When holding it to my ear while talking it is loud enough well below max volume, but hearing people through headsets while driving is often too low with all volumes set to max (on loud freeways, for example). I usually keep my phone's ringer on silent vibrate, but it would be nice to be able to turn it up louder when the phone is sitting on a desk at home. Cell phone ringers can be obnoxiously loud, but there are times when people need to have them turned up.
Because it is an issue in both the ringer speaker and the jack for wired headsets, it seems like there is a good chance of getting a software fix to raise the max volume levels. Reading posts on forums, it seems clear that this problem is widespread in most, if not all, Droid X devises.
If you are having similar problems, please take a moment to call both Verizon and Motorola with a polite report of the issue. I spoke with both today and they said they were aware of the issue, and the tech at Motorola said they were "looking into" a software fix for it. If enough people call and report it, we have a better chance of getting a fix sometime soon.
Verizon's support line is: (800) 922-0204.
Motorola's is: (800) 734-5870 (I chose #6 for "other issues" a couple of times after routing into Droid support to get a live tech)
It can be frustrating to filter through the support systems and report it, especially if they tell you to try obvious things like rebooting the phone and turning the volume up, but it really is the only way to get them to fix this issue. Both techs I spoke with actually looked in their systems right away and acknowledged the issue is being reported by people.
Of course, if anyone has a real solution to this issue, please let us know what it is!

Thanks for the suggestion JKramer. I should have been more clear about having adjusted all volumes up in the settings screen. Assuming all sound options are located within the "Settings --> Sound & Display" screen, then yes, I have tried changing them. I have also tried changing the option to "use incoming call volume for notifications" under the "ringer volume" settings, after reading that someone had success in improving volume that way.
This issue is not a problem all of the time. It is only an issue when there is an elevated level of background noise, such as driving on the freeway, or having music or a movie playing in the room.
The phone is otherwise excellent! I live and commute in areas of very spotty reception (with all cell providers), and this phone will keep calls and not even have voices garble where my past two phones have consistently dropped calls in at least five problem locations. So far, everything else about it seems to work great!
Maybe some of these phones don't have this issue. Or, maybe the people who say they don't encounter the problem are lucky enough to live in relatively quite environments most of the time. In a quiet house or office, it is certainly loud enough. It just needs to have the option for increased volume when in noisy places. The issue is that its "max volume" settings are not as loud as with other phones.
Searching for something like "Droid X volume" will indeed show many people experiencing these same problems on various forums...

OCR won't work because too low dpi, but clearly is very high DPI

Hello,
I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro version 8 on Windows 7 64 bit. I have a document which won't OCR--it comes up with error messages saying the pages are less than 72 dpi. I can't find a way to verify the actual dpi of this file. However, if I zoom in to 6400% on the text, it stays looking very clear and clean--almost as if it were vector text already. I have trouble believing the resolution is really below 72 dpi or too low for OCR to make sense of it.
Any advice?
Thanks,
Dan

Thanks. I wasn't familiar with the pre-flight too. I double clicked on
"list bitmaps below 300 dpi" - result: no problems found
"list images below 100 ppi" - results: no problems found
I can't seem to find any other place to check for resolution. With my limited knowledge both of these results would seem to indicate that I shouldn't be receiving the error--and then of course there is the fact that the text resolution is visually excellent at the highest possible zoom--which makes me think that OCR should be working regardless of what the preflight tool says.
Any further advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Dan

Volume too low on album purchased on iTunes

I purchased an album on iTunes and when I burn to CD the volume is too low. I have done all suggest things to "enhance" the sound. All other items I have purchased are fine. It just seems to be this one album. Any suggestions. Is there a way to "repurchase-download" without paying.
Jenean

Craw4dm,
If you go to iTunes menu, select preferences and click on "playback" button you'll see a check box called "sound check". This enables the computer to adjust the volume of each track so that they all sound similar in volume. So no, you don't have to go through each track! Its a global setting of your music player.
I have it switched off at all times. I also have sound enhancer switched off at all times.
These features have no effect on volume (or anything for that matter) when you burn CD's.
As to the original poster, if the CD sounds quiet then that is how its supposed to be. If buy the CD in the shops it will sound the same. Note that there is big trend at the moment to make albums sound very loud using special processing at the mastering stage (when audio is prepared for album release). It is a trend that most "audiophiles" (or IMHO anyone with ears!) detest. Look up "loudness wars" or similar, on google.
Indeed the "sound check" facility in itunes is there to counteract the fact that CD's sound different in volume - a fact that is made all the worse by the record company practise I have just outlined!
I suspect the "quiet CD" just sounds more like it should do and its being compared to a CD thats been mastered overly loud.

Microphone level too low

It seems like the microphone input level on my wife's iPhone 4 is too low. People have trouble hearing her during her calls. Using the headset, speakerphone, or Bluetooth doesn't increase the volume, nor does covering up the noise-cancelling input on the top.
Using the voice recorder app, I used the same headset the same distance from my mouth to compare the meter volume against my 1st gen iPhone, and the input comes in at least 6dB lower.
Is this a defective model that needs to be returned? Or is this expected as part of the new design? My wife says she can't use it as a phone, it may have to go back.
It would be great if a future iOS update allowed us to adjust the input level.

My wife's iPhone 4 has the same problem concerning the person that she is talking to can't hear her very well at all. It sounds like she is down in a well or the microphone is far away from her mouth.
We have confirmed that signal strength does not appear to be an issue as it does the same thing with 2 bars or 4 bars. I have had her call me on my office landline, so we don't have the issue of two cell phones to cloud the issue.
She also has one of the vinyl or silicon covers that AT&T sold us the day we bought the phone.
She is right-handed, so some of the issues mentioned concerning problems covering up the antenna by left-handers is not a factor.
We are on the latest software revision - v4.0.1 (I believe that was the release we download to iTunes and installed onto her iPhone 4.
The only thing else we have noticed is that the volume of her call approaches a normal level after about 30 seconds into the call.

Iphone volume too low

When I am talking on the iphone, the volume is too low. This happened about a week ago and I can't seem to increase the volume.
I tried the standard things like raising the volume on the buttons. I also updated the phone to the latest version, and reinstalled the operating system.
Any suggestions?

Have you removed the...
I jest, I jest. But seriously, if the phone hasn't been dropped, mishandled or otherwise adulterated, it should be covered by your warranty, i.e., it's defective.
Are you near an Apple store? If no, there's an 800-number to call, but it escapes me. 800-MY-APPLE??? I can't say, really.
In the interim, you may find some useful info here, but maybe you've already been.
Godspeed...

Ipod volume too low

The maximum volume on my ipod is too low. When I am driving, I cannot hear it. When I use the car jack, I cannot hear it. How do I turn up the voume
on the ipod so it can work? I don't have the same problem with my iphone, it works fine.

And why is the crappy supermarket mp3 player louder then my Ipod Classic then???
I don't know, you tell us!
I also use an extra AKG headphone with a low impedance which fits the Ipods output, otherwise it would even be more silent.
I have an old pair of AKG K340 headphones and I use a Cmoy "altoids" amp to drive them from the iPod.
I compared also with my old 5.5 Video Ipod and with the volume cap enabled (i can also uncap it of course :-)) it is 5dB louder then the classic.
I believe it is a known fact that the 5th gen iPod can be hacked, the Classic cannot.
I am also working for a very big service department for Nokia Siemens Networks and within i learned that the customer is the king, but this doesn't seem to apply for Apple.
As has already been said, it is an EU law - and all mp3 players sold within the EU must comply with EU legislation. If you know of a brand that doesn't, perhaps it's not actually approved for sale within the EU. Apple are not going to ignore an EU law, whatever you think or say! Do you think the EU would simply roll over and let Apple ignore this law?
I am not the only complaining customer i suppose, and normally when a company is loosing (normally satisfied) customers it should think about customer oriented solutions.
As above!
When i buy an Apple product i automatically assume a very good product, but i am really, really annoyed this time. Other producers within the EU don't play by the book and no one takes care about it, or how can the supermarket mp3 play much louder than the classic (i measured the same!! output impedance).
I believe other manufacturers do play by the book. Is "supermarket mp3 player" a euphemism for something that should not be sold within the EU?
You know - since you feel this strongly about it, you should take the matter up with your MEP (Member of the European Parliament), since what you say here will not change a thing.

Mic Volume Too Low

Hi,
My mic volume is too low, it seems to be working from the inside of my mac so every key is higher than my voice and my trackpad clicks too. I've searched here and there is no solution for this. Yet... I uninstalled Podcaster (Livestream software) to see if that's the problem but it's not.

I did that and it didn't work, also I notice Skype auto adjusts my volume, so everytime somebody elses talks it goes down, but doesn't go back up after they end. But it's still low, to talk I have to get closser to the keys to talk through them I guess.
In Facetime is just low, volume is not adjusted.

Too low, can barely hear!

When using the speakers from my last PC, a compaq 5670 with onboard sound,
on my new 865PE-based PC, the sound is way too low. With the volume set to max the output from the C-media thingy is just a step above whispering.
The speakers work perfectly with the old PC.
When I use a Computer Subwoofer system, Hi-TEX CP-SW2, the sound is great.
Do one have to use a subwoofer system or something similar with this mobo
to get a descent sound???
I would like to be able to use the speakers from the compaq!
Have I missed some setting/configuration/jumper ???

Hey aggie02, thanks for your input, seems you are right!!
I can always use my "Hi-TEX CP-SW2 computer subwoofer system", so I don't
have to buy anything and with this you could almost start bothering the
neighbours
But I was a bit surprised when tho old crappy Compq PC with onboard sound
manage without amp speakers but not my new msi mobo.
Come to think of it I have a realy old soundblaster soundcard to try out with the
Compaq speakers.
I'm still curios though, can anyone else confirm that the 865PE NEO2 FISR
demands amplification? I don't find anything in the "quick user's guide" about this.

Too low for radio use at 50%

my blackberry 9360 with the newest update out when at 50% battery comes up saying too low for radio use then just suddenly goes from 50% to 0 in a matter of seconds as i watch it cant down faster than anything. i tried pulling battery out when fully charged with charger in but still not working how do i fix this?

Oh...sorry...I think I was not clear..."known good" and "new" are not necessarily the same thing. While rare, a new battery certainly can be defective. Plus, finding someone with an identical BB without these same problems, and trading batteries, is certainly a less expensive method for carrying out this test. Again, sorry about not being clear on that point...
Anyway, refer:
KB14320How to maximize free space and battery power on the BlackBerry smartphone
It is really quite impossible to predict the "normal" consumption rate for any individual user -- each person is unique, and will demand a different level of resource consumption from everyone else. To me, the key is to determine what is normal for your usage patterns...and then become concerned when things deviate from that.
It is also always important to properly close applications when you are done with them. Using the Back or the Red key will not do this -- those leave it to the app to decide what to do...and some will leave themselves resident in memory, consuming resources on your BB, slowing the overall performance. Rather, to close an app, press and select "Close" or "Exit"...that will force the application to be closed, freeing up for your new use the resources it was consuming. Some apps will always remain running (typically -- BBMessenger, Browser, Homescreen, Phone, and Messages)...but, you should still close them properly - especially the Browser...if it is left on an active web page, it will not only consume extra resources but battery power as well.
Further, anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure. Some have taken to doing this on a regular basis as a preventive measure...some as frequently as once per day. Others have obtained the QuickPull app to automate a simulated Batt-Pull.
Good luck!

Image sits too low on screen in Photoshop CC when I want to start working.

When I have the image set to 'fit screen' it sits too low in the working space. Something has changed and I can't get it back. I have tried to restore settings but no effect. Any suggestions welcome?

My screen looks like this. Note how the image that has been opened sits rather low in the working space. In fact, a little bit of the bottom of the image has been clipped off despite going to the magnifying class and clicking 'Fit Screen'
It is intensely irritating and never used to be like this. I am using the latest CC update and have Mavericks. It appears like this when I double click the image in Bridge to open in Adobe CC. I can find no way to drag the image up a bit or reset anything.

My YAHOO e-mail suddenly announces that my resolution is too LOW. I have never had this problem before with MOZILLA. HOW CAN I CHANGE MY RESOLUTION? I

I have been using Mozilla Firefox for ages on my laptop, using Windows 7. I use Yahoo mail for my e-mails. Today, when I booted up, I received a message from Yahoo saying that my "screen resolution is TOO LOW". Never had this before!!!
I tried your helpline and people have obviously had the same issue. You tell us this, how many people and if anybody has had the problem today.....but YOU DO NOT TELL US HOW TO CURE THE PROBLE, but you trawl us through a whole load of screens that are about totally different problems.
SIMPLE SUGGESTION :- If someone has a problem that others have had (just like me), please could you ALSO kindly provide a solution.
Why has this problem suddenly come up anyway??? I look forward to your reply & advice.

This can happen if you've zoomed the page. That effects the screen dimensions as reported by JavaScript and seems to confuse Yahoo.
Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems.
