Maximum recording time based on disk size and ram?

I read about changing the tempo and beats per measure - and hangtime posts a link re: max. time - thanks for that.
But, I'm thinking about taking my iBook w/ 1.4 processor and 512 of ram to a gig to record approximately 3 hours straight - is this going to work?
Am I limited based on free disk space as well, (which I'm not sure how much i have!)
thanks in advance.

Well, you read HT's FAQ which tells you that GB 2 will never record for 3 hours straight.
Anyway I wouldn't use GB to record, since it's not reliable enough, I would use a plain audio editor like Audacity or Soundstudio - they are made for that purpose.
As for disk space: You need about 10 MB per Minute if you record "CD quality" (which is what GB uses). That adds up just short of 2 Gigabytes for 3 hours. Any Finder window of your hard disk will tell you how much space there is available.
Processor speed and RAM are not an issue when you're recording one single audio track.

Set maximum record time?

Can I set maximum record time in Logic 8? Recording an hour-long live program unsupervised, & I'd like it to stop afterwards.
(I don't know any problem with continuing recording for hours until the hard drive is full? But it's not necessary.)
thanks

You can use the Auto-Punch In/Out function to set Logic stop recording automatically.
Also, set the bar value for the project end (at the transportbar, under the tempo).
For How long you can record depends on you HD capacity, but also the file format (aif,wav,caf...) the bit depth and the sample rate.
each format has its own limit.
Refer to user manual and check for the best file format for your purpose.

Maximum recording time in Soundtrack Pro?

Does any one know if there is a maximum recording time in Soundtrack Pro?
Thanks!
Captain

I think they got rid of this feature, with that new audio file format CAF and all...
It'd be nice if they had kept that feature...very useful.
Cheers

I keep getting this message, I decided to delete whatever I can to free up some space. Then I get my few GBs I have left on the startup disk. Then after a day, I get the message again. I check the startup disk size and notice I have "zero kb" left. ??????

Click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage
Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space.
Restart your Mac after freeing up disk space then check Stoage again.
Another way to view avialable space:
Control click the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop then click Get Info.
In the Get Info panel you'll see: Available & Capacity
Again, make sure there's at least 15% free disk space.

I am looking to upgrade my macbook pro 13". I have a new logic board and have searched for the spec on this i.e. hdd size and ram. will my 2009 screen work with a updated graphics card ??

Sounds just like what was happening with my Alum MB. I took it in and they replaced my battery. It seems to be ok now. I don't know what it is, but my battery was fine before 10.5.6 and the same timeframe of the firmware updates when they came out.
My battery health was jumping around but was fine before all of this happened. Unfortunately at 381 cycles I don't think you have much chance of getting the battery for free. Perhaps you can complain about the battery saying it was fine until 10.5.6 or whatever. Not sure when your computer was made, but perhaps you are eligible for this program: http://www.apple.com/support/macbook_macbookpro/batteryupdate/

Disk size and backups

Hello
I wander what is required disk size on hana when migrating from e.g Oracle to Hana?
E.g under oracle I have 1Tb database (and something more if I backup also at OS level)
What will I have under Hana ? How much to backup?
Thank you a lot
Jan

Dear Jan,
The first thing we need to perform before migrating from AnyDb to HANA is memory sizing. SAP provides specific notes for memory sizing of different SAP Applications as mentioned bel ow
1793345 - Sizing for SAP Suite on HANA
1637145 - SAP BW on HANA: Sizing SAP In-Memory Database
1872170 - Suite on HANA memory sizing
1736976 - Sizing Report for BW on HANA
The objective if the the above is to get the footprint of uncompressed DATA in AnyDB.
That forms one of the parameter for sizing the HANA DB.
Based on this sizing information one would use the suitable T-Shirt sized HANA Appliance from the hardware vendor. We then have to apply the
Traditional the RAM should be atleast 2x(uncompressed_DB / Compression factor) and the Disk space would be at least 3-4xRAM for persisitance layer and 1xRAM for logs.
The compression factor might be around 4-7 times depending on the type SAP application.

Time Machine backup disk size - total capacity of disk or just files used?

Hi folks,
After upgrading to Leopard, I'm trying to set up my Time Machine. My main HD is 175 Gig and all the OS and other files take up 37 Gig of that. The drive I want to use for Time Machine (a spare internal hard drive) is a 75 Gig drive with 74 Gig of space available. Time machine says this drive is too small to use.
According to the Time Machine documentation, Time Machine takes the _total size of the files_ to be backed up and multiplies that by 1.2. So in my case, since the total files on my 175 Gig drive take up 37 Gig, then I would need only 42 Gig for my Time Machine back up. So, in theory, my 75 Gig spare drive should work just fine.
The problem is that Time Machine is taking the total size of the entire HD and using that to calculate the size of the back up drive, which would be 210 Gig. Does anyone know why this problem is occurring? It seems like Time Machine is not calculating the needed back up disk size properly and is incorrectly including the unused disk space on my main HD.

Not sure exactly, but your drive really is too small. Yes, 37 gb plus workspace would do for your initial Full Backup, but subsequent incrementals could fill it up pretty fast. That would depend, of course, on how you use your Mac -- how often you add or update files of what sizes.
If you change your habits and, say, download a multi-gb video, then work on editing it for a few hours, you could eat up the remaining space very, very quickly.
Just to be sure, how are you determining space used? Via right-click (or control-click) and Get Info on your HD icon?
Also, do you have any other HDs connected? If so, exclude it/them, as TM will include them by default.
Three possible workarounds:
First, get a bigger drive. HDs have gotten ridiculously cheap -- 500 gb (or even some 1 tb) for not much over $100.
Second, use CarbonCopyCloner, SuperDuper, or a similar product instead of TM. CCC is donationware, SuperDuper about $30, I think. Either can make a full bootable "clone", and CCC has an option to either archive previous versions of changed files or delete them. CCC can be set to run automatically hourly, daily, etc. (I suspect SD can, too, but I don't know it's details). An advantage is, of course, if your HD fails you can boot and run from the "clone" until you get it replaced, then reverse the process and clone the external to the internal.
Note that these will take considerably longer, as unlike TM, they don't use the OSX internals to figure out what's been added or changed, but must look at every file and folder. In my case, even smaller than yours, TM's hourly backup rarely runs over 30 seconds; CCC's at least 15 minutes (so I have it run automatically at 3 am). And, if you don't keep previous versions, of course, you lose the ability to recover something that you deleted or changed in error, or got corrupted before the last backup.
Third (and NOT recommended), continue with TM but limit it to your home folder. This means if you lose your HD, you can't restore your whole system from the last TM backup. You'd have to reload from your Leopard disk, the apply all OS updates, and reload any 3rd party settings, then restore from TM. As a friend of mine used to say, "un-good"!

Maximum hdd size and ram?

hi, I have the emac from 2002, the "P69" I believe it's also referred to as. It's the one with the 700 MHz processor.
1) I read that there are two ram slots and the maximum useable ram on the computer is 1GB. So if that's true, please confirm it or let me know if it's not.
2) So my main question is, what's the biggest HDD I can install in this machine? I know with my Power Mac G4 it had a limitation on what the internal drive could be, so I'd like to know what I'm restricted to.
3) Are there any other upgrades I should consider?
Thanks in advance

I buy all my Mac RAM (we have ~14 Macs in the family including two eMacs) from only two on-line vendors:
Data Memory Systems
and
Other World Computing
I'm pretty sure OWC ships to Canada. Don't know about DMS. That info should be on their web sites.
Basically you want Mac PC133 RAM even though the 1Gen eMacs have a 100mHz bus. Those eMacs need low-density RAM--hi-density PC RAM will either show up as half its rated size or as not there. Most computer/electronic superstore employees are so PC-centric that they seem oblivious to this basic but important fact. The online stores know you have a Mac and will get you the right RAM if you use their RAM finders
Location not withstanding, I tend to steer people with little to modest Mac experience to the first vendor because their web RAM finder is clearer and easier to use. Prices are generally similar between the two but you may find OWC is cheaper on certain part numbers. If shipping time is an issue, OWC gets stuff to Idaho faster
Many people recommend Crucial but I have found minor glitches in their Mac RAM information that makes me just a little nervous. I think Crucial better serves more experienced Mac users who have other resources for finding the exact RAM specs of their machine.

Tried to reformat Time Capsule with Disk Utility and now no Drive

So, not reading manuals finally bit me in the behind. I was too impatient waiting for all my back up files to erase so I could free up space, so I got the great idea.......I'll just reformat the disk with Mac Disk Utility, NOT the Airport Utility. Now my Airport says drive needs repair, however, there is no option in the airport utility for disks anymore.
Is there anything I can do to get the hard drive back? or am I stuck with a very expensive wifi device now?
Please help if you can.

Which model TC do you have??
What OS are you running? You might find running the older 5.6 utility gives you a bit more control but that is not possible if you have Mavericks.. it can be still installed on lion and Mountain Lion.
Do a factory reset of the TC if you haven't already tried.
The Factory Reset Gen1-4.
Unplug your TC. Hold in reset. and power the TC back on.. without releasing reset for about 10sec. When the status light flashes rapidly; release it.
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
Factory reset Gen 5
Hold in reset for about 5sec until the status light flashes quickly.
If your AirPort Time Capsule still doesn’t respond, do a similar reset to the Gen1-4.
Unplug your AirPort Time Capsule .. hold in reset and power the TC back on.. without releasing the reset.. wait until status led flashes rapidly.

Disk size and privacy

Hi,
I have sign up for azure free trial. I created VM windows sever 2008. By default, I got two partition,
C and D with about 100 GB space.
I downloaded about 20-30 GB data using server, and next day someone was using my server (guess microsoft) and disable D drive, and decrease
C drive to 30 GB. And also delete application "onedrive".
Also I couldn't attach again drive D on this machine, status was "locked".. and also on C drive I could't resize 30 GB.
I was logged in on web, with websites like facebook, hotmail.. and someone was accessed to my
VM server. Where is privacy?
If I did overload server with download or something, I could get warning, or at last lower down internet connection.. But not, someone was using my server, or know what I was doing and modify VM server disk and uninstall one or more programs.

Hi Nedims,
I suggest you not to panic at the moment and check the operation logs for any details on Management portal under settings.
On a VM, you get 2 discs:
OS Disk – drive C:
Temporary Storage Disk – drive D:
D:\ drive is temporary drive and prefer not to keep any data. The Temporary Storage disk is used to store temporary information. For example if you need to cache different content like pictures or documents. In the case of the restart or if something happens
with the machine, all the content of this disk is lost. Because of this you should never store data that need to be persisted on this disk. The scope of this disk is not to persist data. It won't get locked out.
Also, as stated by you regarding Privacy: Unless you disclose your VM Name, storage, IP address, User name and password to logon publicly, no body can access your VM on azure. Data on Azure VM's are highly secured.
You can check the operation logs on Management portal and check what are the recent activities done on your VM.
Ref: http://blog.ict.eu/2013/04/windows-azure-operation-logs/
Also, suggest you to open a support case if you still need further assistance on the data loss or security over Azure VM's.
Hope this helps you.

Real Time Help Needed: Disk Warrior and Setup Assistant

My system disk crashed a couple of days ago. I installed a clean system on a firewire attached disk and ran Disk Warrior against the failed drive. DW says the disk is too damaged to replace the directory structure. So, I'm in the process of copying over files that it was able to provide access to via the Preview disk. However, I'm wondering whether I can run setup assistant against the Disk Warrior Preview disk to get back the content of the keychain? I had a lot of passwords stored and don't have a backup.
Anybody offer any help?

Actually, I just remember another step that probably has something to do with this.
The directory entries for ~/Library/Mail and the individual mailboxes were corrupt, so Disk Warrior recovered the contents and put them in two arbitrarily named folders. I copied the contents of the Library/Mail folder into the new system's Library/Mail folder. However, I wasn't sure where to put the mailboxes. I looked on my other Mac system and it had a Mailboxes folder inside the Library/Mail folder, so I created new folder called Mailboxes and copied the recovered mailboxes into the new folder.
Another point that's probably related. The MessageRules.plist file exists in the Library/Mail folder, but the I don't see the rules when I open Mail.app. It looks like Mail.app isn't seeing the contents of Library/Mail.
Any thoughts?

Time Machine Backup Disk Size

I just ordered a 1 Tbyte external hard drive for Time Machine backup. My internal iMac hard drive is 1 Tbyte. I only have about 100 Gbytes on the iMac right now, but I am a little worried about not having ordered a larger drive, since I've been reading recommendations of 2X for the backup drive. I have not seen a minimum requirement for this on the Apple website.
Am I likely to run into problems because the external drive is not larger than my internal drive? If my internal drive volume approaches being full, will I still be able to back up from Time Machine to the recent past?

jkevn,
You should have about 2x of the amount USED on your internal drive. Unless your going to add a huge amount of data, then your TM drive is plenty big enough.

Premier Elements 12 - PC Windows 8.1 - plenty of disk space and RAM

I have been repeatedly getting the following error message when trying to burn a DVD. The error happens on a mix of different file sizes. Sometimes the system works correctly.
internal software error:\Vobulator\BlockPlanner\BlockPlanner.cpp,line 215
Can someone please point me in the direction of a fix?
Many thanks
Andrew

Hi
Thanks again and apologies for the delay in reply.
I use a Video Training DVD and therefore a link is not available.
I have found the tutorial helpful but did put a literal interpretation on the use of stop markers.
In Premier itself there is the selection : Stop Marker (for DVD only) – Returns to the Main Menu.
I assumed that the Stop Marker was needed to finish off the job and return to the Main Menu.
After what you told me that is not the case.
In one or two of my smaller sized videos the system did not object to the use of Stop Markers.
I was able to burn DVDs and that confused me.
On the Tutorial DVD the topic is covered in chapter 10 06 Creating a Movie Menu.
Kind regards
Andrew

MS 6147 max memory and disk sizes

For the MS 6147 can anybody confirm the max Hard disk size and max memory.
It will not recognise the 40Gb HD I am trying to fit, and only recognises half of the 256Mb memeory simm I have fitted.
The BIOS version is 1.9 but I think that is a 'special' by Packard Bell. The MSI BIOS download site makes no mention of disk problems rectified right up to V1.8 which is the latest, with the exception of one for the ZX chipset only which addresses EDMA 66 problem.
Anybody got a definitive answer on this?

Supports a maximum memory size of 256MB (8M x 8) or
512MB (16M x 4) registered DIMM only
how many chips on dimm is what counts with older boards
go to drive makers web site get jumper settings to limit it to 32gb and try

WMV and Disk Size issues

So I am a pretty avid Encore user and I have come into some issues lately and could use some help.
Background-
I filmed a 14 hour conference on SD 16:9 mini dv
I captured 14 hours with Premiere as .AVI - I edited the segments and exported as .AVI
I used Media Encoder to convert the files to NTSC Progressive Widescreen High Quality (.m2v) - Reduced the file size drastically
I then used Media Encoder to convert the .m2v files to .wmv files - Reducing the conference size to 5.65 GB in total.
I then imported the .wmv into Encore - my issues begin
At first, Encore CS4 imported the .wmv files without a problem however the disk size (of 5.65 GB) registered in Encore as around 13 gigs??? Why is that? The .wmv files only consume 5.65 gb on my harddrive. Where is this file size issues coming from?
So then Encore CS4 gets upset that I have exceeded the 8.5 DL Disk size and crashes...
I reopen the program and try to import my .wmv files again (forgot to save like an idiot). 3 of 8 .wmv files import and then Encore starts giving me decoder errors saying I cannot import the rest of the .wmv files...
Can anyone help me with this issue? Im quite confused by all of this. Things seemed to work fine (sorta) at first and now Encore is pissed.
I want to get this 14 hour conference on 1 DL DVD and I thought it would be as simple as getting the files reduced to a size sutable for a 8.5 gb disk. Why is my way of thinking incorrect?
Thanks for any help,
Sam

Im still not giving up.... It's become an obsession at this point. My uncle does this with kids movies for his children. He'll download and compress entire seasons of children shows and put them all on one dvd which he then plays in a dvd player for them to watch. Im currently trying to get ahold of him....
Thanks for the help
Sam
i've done this as well for shows that are never to be seen again for the light of day from the 80s and such... i use VSO Software's "ConvertXtoDVD v4" i ONLY use this for archival purposes of xvid or wmv or stuff that encore would throw fits over. the menus are all mainly default stock stuff. but for these projects i'm not concerned about menus or specific navigation, i just need to get the job done. i can squeeze around 15 hrs of 720x480 on one DL (it compresses the ever living dayligths out of the video... but for most of the source footage... it really doesnt matter at that point, its mostly all VHS archives i use for this program anyway) if you just absolutely HAVE to have a 1 disker, you could check that app out, burn it an see how it looks.
edited to add: that to really squeeze crap in, you can also use a DVDFab program (any ersion should do... Older ones are cheaper) make a disc image with ConvertX, if yiu have alot f footage it may push it beyond the normal boundary of a dvd-dl and fail the burn. So then you can just import the disc image into DVDFab, and choose it to burn to a DVD-DL, and it may compress it by about 3-7% more to fit it. I would NEVER use this method EVER for a client... But if you are just hell-bent on doing 1 disk. Tries these 2 apps out. It may work out if you can live with the compression.
if you do try this, I recommend trying this workflow. Open premiere with your first gem captured AVI. set up your chapters how you want them or whatever, then save each chapter or lecture or segment or whatever as it's own AVI. the. Import all those separately into ConvertX and set it up to play one after the other when each segment ends. [i can't confirm this 100%, because i usually drop in already compressed files... but if for some reason it don't wanna work out... then i would suggest dropping in the mts files instead] (if say you want a new "movie" for each lecture instead, and have chapters per movie that can be done too... But it's more work, but I can expound later if need be) To save time on encoding, set up the menu to be the "minimalist" menu. It's strictly text. Then just create sn ISO. if you donthe full thing, I can almost guarantee you'll have to use DVDFab to burn to disc, because it'll probably be about 5-8% overburn.
