Macintosh hd, what is the stored in the yellow icon?

I think I have a problem with my HD. The yellow icon takes up most of the memory and I can't figure out what the yellow icon stands for... ANyone?

Fear not - that is VM, or virtual memory. The total changes dynamically depending on your use. If you reboot, your VM will be around zero.
Does this solution work for you? Want more explanation? Post here, so others can learn from this thread!

  • What data is stored in the CC Background Job Spool File?

    What information is stored in the location referenced in the CC Configuration/Miscellaneous setting of 'Background Job Spool File Location'?  Our test and production versions of this system are configured the same, with both pointing to the same location on their respective servers.  However the test location shows a virsa/bgJobSpool folder in it containing multiple files while our production system shows this location as empty.
    Both versions seem to be working OK.  We are running backgrounds jobs in each (risk analysis, management reviews, rule generation, etc.) and seeing results.
    We updated to the GRC 5.2 a few months ago and are currently on SP9.  This issue came up during a system audit, so we need to come up with an explanation for the differences.
    Thanks.

    I had reviewed that SAP note previously, but it does not seem to help any with our situation.  We are running ad hoc background risk analysis jobs frequently and can always see the results.  Everything seems to work fine from the application side, we just don't see the logs where we thought they should be over on the server.
    From the outside, it looks like maybe it is ignoring the configuration setting and is still using the default location for the log.  Does it need to be on the same drive as the application?  I believe our application and the default location are both on our E drive, but we want to put the location for this and the Alert Log on the D drive.
    Thanks.

  • What data is stored to the cloud from my I mac

    How do I know what data is stored to the cloud from my imac.

    By default, a Mac stores in iCloud the data of iCloud-compatible applications, always that "Documents & Data" is turned on in System Preferences > iCloud. Also, you can store mails, contacts, calendars, reminders and notes, always that you have activated them in System Preferences > iCloud.
    You choose what to store. If you want to check what's stored, open System Preferences > iCloud > Manage

  • HT4436 how do I find out what I have stored in the Cloud

    How do I find out what I have stored in the cloud?  Also I have an update (6.1.1)  for my 4S I-phone but can get it to download - even when my phone is connected to my computer.  Can anyone help? 

    You can see some of your data by going to icloud.com from a computer and signing into your iCloud account.  Other data can only be viewed on an iOS device or computer that is syncing with the account.
    What do you mean when you say you can't "get it to dowload"?

  • What information is stored on the sim on an iphone 4S?

    what information is stored on the sim on an iphone 4S?

    The iPhone doesn't write anything at all to the SIM. The only data on the SIM are whatever was 'put there' by the carrier it came from. Generally speaking, I don't believe that even includes a phone number. I believe it's just a unique serial number that identifies the SIM. All of the other information regarding your account is tied in with that in their computer systems.

  • How can i see what content is stored in the cloud?

    I have a huge volume of content stored in the cloud...I don't know what it might be....I'd like to be able to see it and clean it up...it may be years of old mail or who knows. How can I see it and clean it up?

    Do you have any iOS device? It has your Photo Stream files. Apple TV? Same answer.
    A PC with the iCloud control panel? You can sign in and view your Photo Stream.
    Another Mac with 10.7.2, or higher? It can sign into iCloud.
    iPhoto 9.2, or higher on it? It has your Photo Stream files.

  • I have a iphone 3GS and approxiamtely 4 gigs of spaces is taken up by the other categoy. How can I find out what is being stored in the other section to free up some space.

    Can anyone provide some insight on the problem that I am experiencing?  I have an IPhone 3GS.  Four of the 8 total gigs are taken up in the other category. I have attempted to delete apps numerous other things to free up space;  however, I cannot determine why so much of the device's capacity is taken up in the other category.  How can I find out what is stored in the other category to free up some of the device's storage capacity.

  • What should be stored in the DB when a special char is saved into the db?

    Hello,
    We have a 9.2.0.6 DB with charset as UTF8. We are putting the special character 'अ' into the database through a j2ee application. The application stores and displays the special character properly.
    My question
    1) When the special character is stored in the database, what should it be stored as? Should it store the HTML Entity (decimal) value - अ or should it store UT-8 (hex) value - e0a485?
    2) When the data is viewed through a different application, it displays &32309; instead of 'अ'. Both the applications are almost similar. Any pointers on what need to be looked into would be appreciated
    A few details on the special character 'अ'
    This is a Hindi letter - Devanagari letter A
    The URL below has all the unicode information on this special character
    http://www-950.ibm.com/software/globalization/icu/demo/unicode?ch=0905
    Thank you

    If you are trying to view the character using Windows, the following metalink note may help
    Note:179133.1 The correct NLS_LANG in a Windows Environment
    iSQL is the only UTF-8 compliant client provided by ORacle, try it.

  • What is exactly stored in the Backup ITunes files for the IPhone?

    I am thinking about allowing iphone connectivity via Active-sync in our Exchange 2007 environment. I am familar with the intergration and management of Active-sync with the Iphone however, I do have concerns with the backup feature on the ITunes software. I know it backs up the iphone but what does it exactly backup? I am mainly concerned with corporate emails/informatoin that are synched from my email servers and then cached locally on the iphone itself. Does it store any of this information, emails or corporate directory within this backup file? I want to ensure that this information is not stored on users local machine if they exit or leave the company. Your input would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    No, email is not stored in the backups and is downloaded once you click the mail icon.
    When restoring from backups, mail always shows no unread messages for 15 minutes or until you click the mail icon. The inbox will appear blank for a short time as there is no cache from the restore and messages headers begin to download automatically.
    I cannot say for sure as I have not dissected the backup files, but it is highly unlikely backups store this data as it will quickly become out of sync with the mail servers and thus rather useless. The behavior I noted when restoring from a backups above seems confirm this.

  • What information is stored on the SIMS card?

  • What values are stored in the alignment region of an image and how can they be set?

    I am calling a number of C++ functions with different variable sized LabView images at rates in excess of 20 images per second. I need to tell the C++ code developer what values to expect in the alignment region of the image. Right now I am creating an image with a zero border that is 32 byte aligned, so there is no alignment region and everything works fine.
    I would like to move to using normal LabView images, as it saves sereval steps and allows me to use a combination of LabView and C++ operations. I do not want to re-write all the C++ functions to be aware of the LabView alignment and border areas. I just want the alignment area and border area to be zero and process them like they were part of the image.
    I can set the border region to zero using Fill Image but I am not clear as to what the values will be in the alignment region, or if I can set them. Does Fill Image also fill the alignment region? Since the C++ code is being developed on a system without LabView, and I do not have the means to debug it on my LabView system, it is tricky to know what is in this region.
    In the ideal world, I would like it to be zero or to be able to set it to zero.
    Thanks in advance.
    Andrew

    Hi Andrew,
    The function IMAQ Fill Image allows you to set the border and all or part of your image to a certain pixel value that you define. One of the inputs to Fill Image is "Image Mask" which you can use to specify which pixels in your original image will be modified. This help document describes the Fill Image VI in detail and can provide some good information for you.
    Essentially, the locations of any non-zero pixels in your Image Mask are where the new pixel value will be set in your original Image. Does that make sense? So if you know where your alignment region is then you can use an image mask with Fill Image to set the alignment region and the border to zero. If you don't use an Image Mask, the Fill Image VI will assign the new pixel value to the entire original image.

  • Regarding the storing of the pdf files

    hi,
    The requirement is that all the pdf files  that are present in the application server for the day must be saved to presentation server at the end of the day.
    Thnaks in advance.

    In Pages you have the option to export to Pdf and can choose between good, better and best versions. Beware though it is often the images that will lose in resolution. This is what the Pages User Guide says:
    If you’re exporting to PDF, you must choose an image quality (a higher image quality results in a larger PDF file):
    Best: Image resolutions are not scaled down.
    Better:          Images are downsampled to 150 dpi. Images without transparency (alpha
    channel) are JPEG-compressed by 0.7.
    Good:          Images are downsampled to 72 dpi. Images without transparency (alpha channel) are JPEG-compressed by 0.9.

  • Is there any way to see what I have stored in the Cloud for iTunes?

    I am looking to find if some TV shows I bought are in my Cloud. They are in my libarry currently, but I want to make sure that if my computer ever crashes and loses data, that they won't be lost. I am looking for a way to see all the content that is in the Cloud for iTunes, but I have only find the webpage that shows contacts, notes, ect. Anyone know if this is possible? Thanks.

    No, Apple very rarely make advance announcements of bug fixes.
    You can restore much of the look & feel of the previous version with these shortcuts:
    Ctrl-B to turn on the menu bar.
    Ctrl-S to turn on the sidebar.
    Ctrl-/ to turn on the status bar.
    Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library for the old search behavior.
    Alternatively you roll back to iTunes 10.7. If so, first download a copy of the 32 bit installer or 64 bit installer as appropriate, uninstall iTunes and supporting software, i.e. Apple Application Support & Apple Mobile Device Support. Reboot. Restore the pre-upgrade version of your library database as per the diagram below, then install iTunes 10.7.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to scan the media folder and catch up with any changes made since the backup file was created.
    You might also want to use iTunes Feedback.
