Maximum folder size in 10.5.2?

What is the maximum folder size now in 10.5.2?
For around 10 years I've been using numerous partitions to organize my files and for easy backup, but I know that quite a while ago (years) the maximum folder size was dramatically increased (2GB > ?).
Has anyone had problems with these larger folders?
My files are extremely important (clients' files) so safety and stability are more important to me than anything else (i.e. the simplicity of fewer partitions perhaps).
Of course I could simply do a search for specs regarding this on Apple's website, but it would not indicate as to just how stable such huge folders have been for everyone.
Thanks for any info on this.

I went to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HierarchicalFileSystem
And I did carefully read the Apple white paper but still no where do I see a maximum folder size for within a volume
So I can only assume there is no maximum... that is... that you can actually have literally all of your files and folders in a volume within one folder even if it takes up 90% of the volume's/partition's space.
I originally posted this because rather than reformatting a couple of my hard drives... I was considering moving a couple of the partitions contents (each with around 40 GB of important files) to a larger partition and place each partition's contents in to individual folders. In-other-words... moving two 40 GB partitions to two separate folders within another 100 GB + partition. Thereby freeing up two 40 GB partitions without having to reformat my drives.
Anyone see a problem with that?

Synchronize folder: maximum file size?

Greetings,
I have noticed that the synchronize folder option seems to just hang on folders with more than about 1000 images in them. Smaller folders seem to work just fine. Is there a maximum size in numbers of files where the synchronize feature no longer works?
Thanks in advance!

OK, PROBLEM SOLVED:
It appears that the folders that I was having problems with for synchronization were corrupt in Lightroom. They had designations that there were stacks in the folders which there were not. This was designated by the "+" and "/" symbols next to the folders. The synch feature would completely hang.
After deleting and reimporting these "problem" folders all problems disappeared, the sych featured worked, and the symbols for stacks disappeared. Lastly, there was no limit on folder size for the synch feature to be functional.
Thanks for all your help and hopefully this experience will help others with a similar problem...

Public Folder To Mailbox Map Generator maximum mailbox size

Hello,
I am in the planning stages of a 2010 to 2013 public folder migration.
Upon running the following script to generate the mailbox mappings in 2013 I receive the following error regarding the maximum mailbox size requested.
[PS] C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\scripts>.\PublicFolderToMailboxMapGenerator.ps1 5120MB E:\Migration\

[25/11/2014 11:32:08] Unable to load public folders...
I want to set the maximum mailbox size to 5GB, however it seems that this is not possible given that some of the existing folders exceed the maximum mailbox size specified.
I have increased the mailbox size gradually until there are no errors reported, but this leaves me with a maximum mailbox size of 50GB which is not what I require.
There is circa 45 GB of data in the PF hierarcy currently, with the largest folder containing around 42 GB of data.
I thought the idea was that the mapping generator would split the public folder data up and distribute it across multiple mailboxes as required?
Can anyone assist with achieving this please?
Regards
Matt

Hi Belinda,
Thanks for the reply. I've done some more investigating, as I thought the public folders sizes being reported were larger than expected.
Upon running the Get-PublicFolderStatistics cmdlet across the public folder hierarchy I can indeed see that the largest public folder we have is only 4.46GB in size, not the 42GB being reported by the generator.

Going back a step - before running the PublicFolderToMailboxMapGenerator.ps1
, the issue is initially occurs when running the Export-PublicFolderStatistics.ps1 as this is where the folder sizes are calculated and output to the PFMapNameToSize.csv. This is where the folder size is inflated by 10 times!
Is this a bug?
Does anyone know how to change this behaviour?

Maximum Artboard Size (Not Canvas Size)

Hi,
I read that maximum canvas size is 227in but Illustrator CC on both mac and windows and several different computer does not allow me to exceed 120in x 120 in. I can change my artboard size manually (shift+o) and drag the corners to 227inches but the number on the right upper corner is stuck on 120 inches. So what is the maximum size that I can work in Illustrator? If it is 227in why can't I make an Artboard bigger than 120 inches? And to avoid more confusion what is the canvas and what is the art board?
Thank you

mus,
When things become seriously weird, as in your case, it may be worth trying the list (you have been through 1) and 2) already, and I would suggest your skipping 3) and 5), which leaves 4) and 6).
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by issues with opening a file from external media, see below. You may have tried/done some of them already; 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible), for CS3 - CC you may find the folder here:
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/preference-file-location-illustrator.html
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Maximum file size in picture ring?

Hello folks!
I am planing to use a picture ring with a quite big amount of data needed.
My question: is there a maximum data size that i can embed in a picture ring (number of pictures or overall file sizes)?
Thanks!

If you have enough memory to keep all the images open simultaneously, then something like this might help. Put all your images in the same directory on disk and have no other files in that directory. Then use List Folder from the Advanced File palette to get an aaray of the filenames. Feed that array to a for loop where you open all the files and place the images into the pict ring. I have written a "slide show" program which does this. Never tried it with 400 images though.
If you do not have enough memory for all the images, then you need to manage the iamges much more carefully.

Share Point folder size limit - File Services

I created a new folder inside a share point using Server Admin. Is there a way to set a folder size limit (quota) for that folder.
P.S. I am NOT talking about user accounts quotas for home folders created using Workgroup Manager! ...Just any new folder created, to be used on any volume, is there a way to set a mamimum size?
For example I have a 1TB volume on my Xserve RAID. I create a new folder but want to set its maximum capacity to 200GB. Is that possible?
Thank you very much in advance for any feedback.

There's no direct way to set a limit on a folder size.
The 'simplest' method I can think of is to create partitions on your disk of the appropriate sizes and share these - they will have inherent size limits based on the size of the partition. It's a little messier but should solve your issue.
:: thinking :: you might be able to use disk images rather than partitions, although I've never tried sharing a mounted disk image, and you'd need to address automounting the disk images when the server starts, so it might not be viable.

Maximum project size exceeded

Is there a way to change the maximum project size? I have an index of images on a drive, broken into folders, and I want them all in the same project.

No ... 10,000 is the limit ...
why not store each folder (from your hd) as a project and put those within blue folders ...

Maximum time/size limit for Beehive Conference recording

Hi, What is the maximum time/size limit for Beehive Conference recording?
Thanks
Chinni

Looks like I found the probable location of this size limit. Looking at the web.config file in the
ExchServer\ClientAccess\Sync folder there is an entry for "MaxDocumentDataSize". THe value is currently set at 10240000:
<add key="MaxDocumentDataSize" vaulue ="10240000">
So this is 9.75 MB or there about, which sounds about right. I will try increasing this limit at some point to verify.
Can anyone confirm this?

It sounds like you are trying to burn a dual layer disc. Do you need a dual layer disc? (i.e., do you have more than 4.3 GB of material?) If you do then there is a tutorial at;

Scanning Slides for Printing by 3rd Party: Maximum Print Size Wanted

I am wanting to license a series of vintage slides via my Zazzle.com store. The images scanned from the slides would be printed on the various products that they sell. Ideally I am looking to obtain the maximum resulting image size in the hopes of offering some of the designs on smaller sized posters. Some of the images were taken with everyday cameras while others were taken with expensive cameras such as a Zeiss Contarex so am guessing the film grain quality is going to vary although all are mounted in standard slide frames.
I wanting to scan slides, or have slides scanned, into a lossless format such as tiff for archiving purposes, which would then be copied and opened inside photoshop and illustrator. I also have negatives from box cameras and similar older materials, but want to tackle the slides first.
From reading the posts here the two main strategies appear to be:
1. Do it yourself:
I've read various posts that say this may take a specialized scanner costing $2,000, while others claim a Epson V500 does just as good of job - of course I wondering if the person using the Epson is wanting to print commercial products from the designs.
What machines are recommended for use with Lion?
Also there appears to be a debate about the best software, such as Digital Ice or VueScan? Any suggestions?
2. Hire a 3rd party service:
One main concern here is the items could get lost.
The other major concern is how good are the resulting slides going to be. I've looked at various 3rd party sites that offer scanning and each appears to offer a differing opinion as to what dpi should be used. I understand that at a certain point a higher dpi setting is not going to obtain any further helpful information from the slide, but what exactly is the maximum setting that I should be shooting for? I see services offering 4,000 dpi, yet some of the dedicated slide scanners can go much higher so I am wondering if these services are just wanting to use the lower dpi to save on the resulting image size as opposed to obtaining the maximum print size?

Kappy, How do you do it with iPhoto?
CMCSK, For some reason, against my expectations, iWorks or Pages was nowhere to be found. I "spotlighted" them after failing to find them in the applications folder. I did not think to look for Microsoft Word Trial Version on the Mac. I doubted it would be there because Apple has Pages and Numbers. I'll check later, but I guess I also want to know how to do it without trial software.
Kenichi Watanabe, Scaling only allows me to change the size, but not the position of the image. Halfway there!
RothRock, After clicking the arrow, I get many options, including scaling, but I can't find any positioning option (other than just the Centre option).
Does anybody know how to scale and position? I'm going to try iPhoto some more. Something as simple as positioning for printing shouldn't be this hard to find.

I have tested my Application Client Project in WSAD on my pc and it works fine.
I have 1gb RAM on my pc. When I deploy the same app on another xp pc(same as mine but 512mb RAM) I get a heap size error. Here is the exact error:

I have changed the value of Xms and Xmx of JVM_ARGS to different size but I sitll get error. Anyone knows what the problem is. Thanks..

Don't know why, but the "maximum heap size: 267380736 bytes" value is just slightly less than 256*1024*1024, wheras the reported initial size is equal to that.
Try setting the initial value to 255MB.

Is there a way to put more apps (increase the folder size limit) in iOS 5.0.1 on iPad2

I read on some site that there is an app that allows one to increase the desktop folder size limit in iOS 5.0.1 on an iPad2 does anyone have any info please?
Thanks for any thoughts in advance.....
Dave

Firstly, Thanks for taking the time to reply :-)
It's not that I want gazillions of apps, I just wanted to put more in each folder so I don't have to have multiple folders with similar names....Weather1, 2, 3,etc.... but I see your point and appreciate the thoughts.

How to change font size, maximum column size in the result screen ?

hi All
That's great when using SQL Dev.
But I also have a trouble that how to change font size, maximum column size in the result screen ?
My users think that font in result screen is shown very small, and whenever the data in each colum is long then it's not shown full data in column, they must double click for extend the size. Have the option to default the max size for showing full data in each column ? I try but still not to do that .
Appreciate for anyone to help us.
Thanks all.
Sigmasvn

You can't change the font for the results screen yet, however you will be able to select an auto-fit option for selected columns, so if some columns have slitghtly wider text you'll be able to set the column widths to handle these wider columns.
Also, there s the option of switching the layout of a record in the grid.
