Movies Storage displaying Incorrect amount of used storage

When I checked my storage ( Via About This Mac) on my macbook I was surprised to see that it is "using" 102 GB in Movies. However, when I went to my finder and clicked "get info" on the movies tab, I found that is has only used 9 GB.
What surprises me most is that it was showing correct use of storage last week! Why is it showing such huge memory space and how can I fix this?

Download OmniDiskSweeper (free) from the Internet.  It will show all of you files and the respective sizes.  This may aid you in determining the discrepancy.
Ciao.

  • IPhone used storage issue, 4.55GB 'other' used storage

    I have an iPhone 5 which is showing 4.55GB of 'other' used storage on the status bar of iTunes. What is this? I don't have excessive media content on the phone, how do I free up this space please?

  • My Mac is showing a very high amount of used storage for photos

    Hi guys,
    I'm starting to run low on disc space and decided to see how much of my hard drive is being used for what by using "About This Mac". My Macbook Pro is showing that I have used 164.62GB on photos. I've checked and my iPhoto library (which stores all my personal pictures) is only 68.66GB. I get that there will obviously be more spaced used on my HDD for pictures other than my iPhoto but I really can't see how that totals nearly 100GB. Is there likely to be an old iPhoto library file lurking in a folder somewhere?
    I'm pretty sure I'm also not using as much space for movies as well but this is nearly no where as much of a concern.
    Any help on what could be causing this would be very much appreciated.
    Thanks

    About this Mac is a very crude measure of anything. That will include just about every image, icon, UI element on your Mac. It's so vague as to be meaningless.

  • Smart Folder in Finder displays incorrect list when using "File label" option.

    Hello.
    I created a Smart Folder in Finder, to display all files that have any color (label).
    But have a problem just with one file, and although it has no Label, it keeps displaying that file.
    Just to let you know:
    1) File is not in Trash or hidden.
    2) Checked several times the "information" of the file. Assign any color, then removed it.
    3) File is synched with Dropbox v2.0.5
    4) File is a Microsoft Excel and been working with it for a while with Office for Mac.
    OS X 10.8.3

    I'm having this problem, too. It with even show files with other color tags when filtering by another color. I tried changing the file color then changing it back to blank and it disappears temporarily, but if you view another folder and then come back the file pops back.

  • Storage values under about this mac displaying incorrectly, but amount of space used IS correct. Any ideas?

    I noticed recently that the "storage" under "about this mac" is displaying incorrectly. It doesn't show the correct values for my photos, videos, and audio files. It classifies this data under "other". I have been searching all over the internet, I went to the Apple genius bar yesterday and they recommended I re-install OSX. I did and it still shows up incorrectly. They were baffled, said they never really came across this issue. I have tried re-indexing spotlight, that didn't seem to help.
    The amount of storage used IS correct. It just doesn't show up under the correct categories in storage, under about this mac. Also, the computer seems to work fine. No real issues. It's a mid 2012 MBP. 500gb hard drive. Most recent OSX is installed.
    I DO NOT think it is local snapshots, cause my backups category is small and the amount of space used and free is correct. I have downloaded omnidisk sweeper to confirm this.
    I have seen a few posts on here and around the web referring to this, but no real answers. I have also reviewed Pondini's info on this to no avail.
    Does anyone have any ideas?!?!

    Also,
    I had installed a version of parallels with windows 7, but deleted it. Would parallels be causing my computer to index incorrectly? I I used appcleaner to delete all the parallels files so I do not have it anymore.

  • Macbook air "Aboout This Mac" storage indicator incorrect

    I'm using a Macbook air 13'' thats running on OSX Yosemite 10.10.1. There seems to be  a problem with the storage indicator. I click on the apple logo on the top left and go to storage to check the remaining space and the numbers don't seem to be right. The image below is what i get.
    The amount of space Apps takes up is higher then all my apps added up and the space free difference to the total space is incorrect. After adding the amount of space the system says I take up from the number of the picture above its about 196GB so it just does not match the 185.16GB free of 249.77GB. Also I go in to my application folder and Highlight all the apps and folders and the system says i only have 14GB of files. I look into Disk Utility and it says I've only used 64GB
    I was wondering if anyone can explain what the problem is. Is it that my Macbook Air is actually low on space or is it reading my files wrong? And what can i do to fix the problem. Thanks in advance!

    1. Re-index Macintosh HD.
       Spotlight reindexing will take a while to finish.
       System Preferences > Spotlight > Privacy
       http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2409
       You will see a new category  “Other” in the Storage Display.

       Select Macintosh HD and click  “Sweep Selected Drive” at the bottom.
       Delete the files yo don’t want to keep.
       Be careful. Delete only the files that can be safely  deleted.

  • Two phones with the same icloud how to use storage only one the one

    My daughter has a Iphone 4, I have a Iphone 5. Because she is to young to have a credit card that allows her to shop online, she uses mine to buy apps. The phone stands in my name and we share the same Iclud. She needs more storage on her phone, so I said yes for her to buy more storage on her phone. But it seems that the storage has been benefitted my phone instead. How can I switch the storage over on her phone?

    Hi kristgjo,
    If the phones share one iCloud account, then the storage upgrade applies to both devices. For example, I have an iPad and an iPhone that I back up to iCloud. Both use the same account, and both use the same iCloud storage.
    If you go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, you will see both of your devices, and the amount of iCloud storage that they are using displayed. If you click on either of the devices, you will be able to see the size of the backup and the specific items that are being backed up and how large they are.
    Cheers,

  • How to block movement type 261 and 262 from several storage locations

    Dear Expert,
    Can we block the  261 and 262 movement type from several storage locations? These storage locations are not affected by the MRP run, where for the materials that have been moved to these storage locations their existance are not count. These storage locations could not be used for confirmation production order, therefore i want to block  261 and 262 movement type from these storage locations.
    Thanks
    Pauline

    Dear Pauline,
    if my understanding is correct abt ur query,
    1) you want in confirmation screen, Consumption should happen only from one storage location
    2) Rest all storage locations should not be allowed
    3) Maintain Storage location in BOM component view, in mass you can maintain in CEWB
    4) Now GO with SHD0, Make storage location field as Out put only, for CO11N Transaction
    Plz refer this link for SHD0 Demo

  • HT204053 best storage for filies deleted but used frequently wd drop box flash drive

    best storage for filies deleted but used frequently wd drop box flash drive

    Thanks LowLuster!  With that info I have another questions if that's ok.  First, I'm sure it's formatted to fat32.  I have learned I can't transfer movies over 4gb.  I use an external hard drive for those.  The files are ones I've downloaded from YouTube in the mp4 format and are never over 1gb.  They're all mb in size. 
    I didn't realize flash drives had limited writes.  Is there any way to confirm I've reached the limit?  Both times I reformatted it I was able to add back the videos I previously had on it.  I would say there were a hundred or so. Both times I left some "growing room" on the flash drive so I could add more files.  And, both times I was able to continuing adding until I had reached the max capacity.  The problem occured after I tried deleting files to free up space.  Does this make sense with "the amount you have used it" theory?  Does it start to become buggy at that point, or does it just make writes to the drive impossible?
    Thanks

  • Need to display the Stock Values at storage location level - 0IC_C03

    Hi All,
    I am developing Stock Movent Report on 0IC_C03 - Material Stocks/Movements.
    I have more than one storage location for plant. Stock quantities are calculating at storage location level and Stock Values are calculating at plant level.
    I have no issues with quantities. Only problem with Values.
    2LIS_03_UM is not picking the starage location, so that the revaualtion values are falling under unassigned nodes. When i set filter on storage location these values were not showing as they are under un assigned nodes (#).
    I want to get the Stock Quantity and Stock Values at Storage location level in my report.
    I found that soulution for that is Applying SAP Note : How to Realize summarized display of stock values on storage
    I have done development as per the document. But when i run the Query it is going to debug mode first and then it saying This program cannot display the webpage
    Can any one faced the same situation, Please help me if so.

  • MD04 - Display the stock on one storage location particulary.

    The transaction MD04 allows seeing the stock of the plant in the first line of the Stock/requirement list.(MD04)
    When the plant includes several storage location (e.g MAG1, MAG2, MAG3), we don't have the detail of the quantity one each storage location.
    We can use the filter (by using SETTINGS and FILTER ON) that controls the display of the MRP list and the stock/requirements list but this function don't allows seeing only the stock on one storage location particulary. We have to go the tcode MMBE in order to know the stock on each storage location.
    Thanks in advance for yours reply.

    What is your real problem?
    Display the stock storage location-wise is one thing and do MRP without certain storage location(s) (=exclude storage locations from MRP) might be another.
    If you only want to display stock of certain storage locations in MD04 but use all you stock for planning, I think there's no reason for it.
    If you really want to exclude certain storage locations, then you have to be aware that MRP won't consider that stock (for the plant segment). It will also have impact on ATP (atp won't use that stock too).
    So, there's a big difference between exclude a storage location from MRP and to exclude its stock from display.
    (You can exclude storage locations from MRP via material master --> MRP4 view --> you have to enter both plant/sloc as organisational level and you will see the suitable tab. It is also possible to control this indicator via config for to be created material masters - you can search and find threads)
    You should describe your exact requirement and maybe forum mebers can give you advice.

  • I just purchased extra storage for my iCloud.  How and where do I access it?  I purchased movies and audio books to find out that I didn't have enough storage (the reason for the extra storage purchase).  I have no idea where to find them now.  Help?!

    How do I use my iCloud???
    I purchased 4 movies and 2 audio books from iTunes only to find out my iPad2 didn't have enough storage, so I purchased more storage from iCloud. 
    My iTunes account only shows the 4 movies that need to still be downloaded (not the two books)  After purchasing 20GB from iCloud I am still receiving the  "There is not enough available storage.  You can manage your storage in Settings" message.  I have gone to my Settings, where it shows I have the new, extra storage.  I have set all the iCloud settings as shown on the Apple website.  In my iCloud settings, it shows I have 17GB available out of 25GB.   In my General settings, it shows that I have a capacity of 28.6 GB, while my Available is 2.9GB.  (????)
    I don't know why I still can't download the movies.  I wouldn't know where to go (how to get to) the iCloud if I could...
    Also, iTunes has sent me receipts for the movies and audio books I purchased as well.  Where are they???
    Thank you SO very much for any assistance you can offer me!

    Cancel your storage upgrade
    If you upgrade or renew your storage but no longer need it, you can cancel. If you cancel your storage plan within 15 days of an upgrade or within 45 days after a yearly payment, you can contact Apple for a full refund. After this period, you can downgrade your storage for the following year.
    Note:  Partial refunds are available where required by law.

  • Adobe Flash FAIL:  Adobe Flash Player local storage settings incorrect.  Module 'Resume' feature may not work on this computer.

    Using a Windows 2012 RDS Environment, we have users connecting to a CPD website, and as part of the CPD they need to run a systems checker.  When they run the systems checker they get the following error message: "Adobe Flash FAIL:  Adobe Flash Player local storage settings incorrect.  Module 'Resume' feature may not work on this computer". All users are connecting to this environment with Windows CE Clients,I have checked the setting on Adobe Flash and they seem correct but as each user has its own profile on the RDS session, is there something that I should be setting for each user. I have added the website to the trusted sites and it has made no difference.   Any ideas

    It sounds like what's happening is that Flash Player can't write or read from the local shared objects in the user's redirected home directory because we disallow traversing junctions in the broker process.  This behavior was disabled to address a vulnerability identified in some of John Forshaw's research into the IE broker last year.
    You can enable this behavior by adding the following setting to mms.cfg:
    EnableInsecureJunctionBehavior=1
    That said, you can probably gather from the name of the flag that we don't really recommend this approach, and disable this attack surface by default.  There's some risk that a network attacker could craft content that abuses fundamental issues with how Windows handles Junctions to write to arbitrary locations.
    Unfortunately, there's not a simple or easy workaround that I'm aware of (but it's been ages since I've administered a Windows domain) for this kind of NAS/SAN-backed terminal server environment where Flash is not able to access \Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\Flash Player\ without traversing a junction.

  • Why can't I download movies when I've just increased my storage capacity?

    Tried downloading a movie rental but was told I need to increase storage capacity in local settings. I changed my plan to the max amnt
    (55GB) with 49 remaining. However, when I tried downloading a rental once again, the same thing happened.  I've turned my iPad on and
    off to no avail. Thoughts?

    When you download the movie to your iPad, it uses storage space on the iPad itself, purchasing additional iCloud storage will not help you at all. You will need to free up some space on your iPad.

  • HT4910 how to move my videos and photos from ipad storage to icloud storage?

    I would like to purchase more videos and music from apple store, however i dont have enough storage space left, i purchased more storage for icloud back up, now i am having hard time to move files of movies, photos and music to icloud back up storage and i still can not buy more movies or music. How to move things to icloud storage please?

    iCloud doesn't store movies or music.  It only allows you to redownload purchases from the iTunes store if you ever lose them (assuming they are still available to redownload, and in the case of movies, that the studio permits it.)  Also iCloud only stores your camera roll photos in your backup, which can only be accessed by restoring your iPad to the entire backup.
    iCloud isn't designed to do what you are trying to do.  iCloud is for syncing data across all your devices and for backing up your devices, not storing your data.  You use iTunes on your computer for that.  iTunes will add your purchased videos and music to your iTunes library so you can remove it from your iPad and add it back later if you want.  To save your photos you import them to your computer (and then delete them from your iPad if you want) as described in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
