My 2GB Lexar usb drive says there is only 74mb available?

Just went through to delete all the stuff off my thumbdrive to put new stuff on (by dragging it all into trash) and it said there was only 74mb available, when it is a 2gig drive - how do i format or bring it back up to its full capacity (of 1.89)?
Also, I tried pulling a folder into it, then removed that folder, and the capacity went down to 51mb.

Tom is quite right -- if the Icon for the Trash (the wire basket) shows a wire basket with papers in it, your files have been Moved to the Trash, but not yet Deleted. If you open the Trash Icon, there they are!
When you choose Empty Trash from the Finder's Finder menu, the wire basket with papers should turn into a wire basket -- empty. And the space recovered from deleting the files should be corectly reflected.

  • How do I  initialize/format a Lexar usb drive

    The topic pretty much says it all. I put in a lexar usb drive and wanted to initialize in in OS 9.2.2 as HFS+ and can't figure out how to do it. I wanted to use it to back up some files without losing the resource fork, if there is one. Thanks for any info.

    Grey Bird: Your question prompted me to boot my Powerbook into OS 9.2.2 for the first time in a long while. The Finder's "Erase Disk" command (in the Special menu) is happy to erase my Lexar JumpDrive Secure in either Mac OS Standard (HFS) or Mac OS Extended (HFS+) format. It does not offer the option of DOS format, and I suspect that's because the drive is currently in a Mac format. If it were currently in DOS format, I'm not sure the Mac formats would be offered as options.
    If using the Finder command works for you, I heartily recommend avoiding the use of third-party disk formatters, not only because they cost $, but also because they may well give you headaches down the road that you can do without.

  • How do I capture tape-based media to my external hard drive?  There is only one firewire 800 port on the back of my I mac.  The manual says to import tape footage directly into fcpx, but then I lose my external hard drive.   thanks for your help.

    In FCP X How do I capture tape-based media (hdv clips)- which I want to import-to my external hard drive?  There is only one firewire 800 port on the back of my I mac.  The FCPX manual says to import tape footage directly into final cut, which works, but then I lose  my external hard drive    Do I  have to import it into an event, then copy it over to an external hard drive?  On Larry Jordan's tutorial, he has 3 external hard drives that show up on his monitor WHILE he imports his tape based media.  How is that done?  I can only get either the camera to appear OR my external hard drive.   thanks for your help.

    Thanks for your response, but that doesn't solve the problem.  Yes, the LaCie hard drive has 2 firewire ports-
    I have always done what you suggest (works fine in FCP7), but in FCPX when I do that the camcorder icon
    does not appear.  It only shows up when I DIRECTLY import the footage via firewire.  ????

  • Just started to update my phone to iSo5 when wireless connection was lost on my laptop, I can't get it back and it says there are no networks available-router is working fine, am using it on my iPhone now. Help!

    I just updated itunes and started to update my phone to iSo5 when wireless connection was lost on my laptop, I can't get it back and it says there are no networks available-router is working fine, am using it on my iPhone now. Help!

    Reboot your router. You by chance dont have a netgear N300 WNR2000 router do you? I had one of those and would lose wifi on it constantly, Switched to a Cisco wifi router and it works much better.

  • I imported 635 images into an iPhoto album so that I can share them via a photo-stream. However, iPhoto says there are only 600. When I try to add the missing images it says they are already there. Why can i not see these images in iPhoto?

    I imported 635 images into an iPhoto album so that I can share them via a photo-stream. However, iPhoto says there are only 600. When I try to add the missing images it says they are already there. Why can i not see these images in iPhoto?

    Generally I would not use Facebook for sharing any photos, it compresses the photos substantially, and when you have shadows and dark colours you get visible "bands" where there should be subtle gradients, ie at sunsets and sunrises.
    It sounds like you are using two methods to upload to Facebook:
    1. Sharing from within Aperture, which basically syncs Facebook with your Aperture album, so any changes made at either end gets synced, hence the deletions from Albums, although the original file should still be in your library, just removed rom the album. It is like a playlist in iTunes.
    2. Exporting pics and uploading to Facebook from the browser.
    I am not sure how method 1 gets compressed, but I know that uploading hi-res jpegs to Facebook using method 2 results in poor quality images.
    I wouldn't even bother comparing option 1 or 2, and they will both be poor images once you view them on Facebook, as opposed to viewing uploaded images on proper image sharing / hosting sites.
    Your problem is not with Aperture, it is using Facebook for showing your work.
    If you export pics form Aperture at high res jpegs or TIFFs your images will be fine.
    If you insist to use Facebook as your way to share your work, then your workflow should be this:
    1. Right click images you want to share.
    2. Select Export version.
    3. Export as 100% size and ensure the export settings are set at 100% quality.
    4. Upload this pic into Facebook.
    This will get you the best image size and resolution on Facebook.
    See how you go.

  • When I try opening iPhoto on my iMac (OSX 10.9.2) it says I must first update the application; when I try doing so from the App store, it says there are no updates available. I have not renamed or moved iPhoto which was preinstalled. How to solve?

    When I try opening iPhoto on my iMac (OSX 10.9.2) it says I must first download the update; when I try doing so from the App store, it says there are no updates available.  Stuck in a classis Catch-22 - any ideas how I might solve the problem?

    Thanks a lot for your swift response. And sorry if it was a bit too hectic to go through my detailed query (which I did because it was misunderstood when I asked previously). As I've mentioned above, I was informed that updating to 5.0.1 would '''require''' me to '''delete''' the current version and then install the new one. And doing so will involve losing all my bookmarks. I guess I should have been more specific and detailed there. By losing, I didn't mean losing them forever. I'm aware that they're secured in some place and deleting and installing the software doesn't harm its existence. What I meant that if I install the new version, I'd have to delete the old one. And after installing the new version, I'd have to transfer them (bookmarks) back from wherever they are. Get it? When it updated from 3.6.9 to 3.6.13, and from 3.6.13 to 3.6.18, I didn't need to follow that process. They were already present on their own.
    BTW, I'm having no problems with 3.6.18 but after learning about the existence of version 5.0.1, I'm a bit too eager to lay my hands over it.
    Thanks for your help; hope this wasn't extremely long.

  • 120gb suddenly says No Music, yet it still says there is only 9.1gb free

    It appears that all of my songs on my ipod are erased, but it still says there is only 9.1 gb of space free, so are all the songs on there still? is there any way i can get all of the songs to appear on the ipod again?
    when i plug the ipod into my computer, itunes doesnt recognize it and it totally freezes up both itunes and firefox. i tried reseting the ipod to no avail. restoring it is my last resort as ive spent hundreds of hours filling that b*tch up.

    Sometimes the iPod's library gets corrupted and is replaced with a new blank library. Your existing files will then be classed by the iPod as "Other" data, the measure of used space on the iPod not taken up by Audio, Video & Photos that are in the library.
    If you have copies of all your media in iTunes this isn't really a problem as you can simply restore your iPod, but if you've been manually managing the content then I guess you'll want to try to recover the files from it first. See this post by Zevoneer on transferring files from the iPod to your computer. Some of the tools rely on the iPod having a healthy library which yours obviously doesn't however the manual method mentioned towards the end of the post would work.

  • When i try to download an app (Fifa 13) it says there is not enough available local storage to download "fifa 13 by ea sports". what do i do

    when i try to download an app (Fifa 13) it says there is not enough available local storage to download "fifa 13 by ea sports". what do i do?

    What size ??GB is the download file? How much free storage space do you have?
    The ??GB is the download file compressed size (like .zip or .dmg). When the file is installed/uncompressed it can be 2-3 times larger.
    How much space is your Other using? You may be able to reduce.
    How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
    http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
    With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

  • My iPad keeps saying there is an update available for my carrier settings

    Hi There,
    No matter how many times I update my carrier settings, my iPad keeps saying there is an update available.  For the past 30 minuets, I have sat and clicked check for update repeatadly, but still it says there is an update available.
    I am thinking there is something wrong with my iPad, that maybe it isn't installing the update correctly or something.
    What could be going on here?
    Thanks
    Jason

    iPod or iPad? you say both.
    How much storage available on the device do you have? You need about 2.4 GB available
    If you have an iPad, you can only update via wifi, not by cellular data.

  • App Store says there is one update available. But the Updates page shows a blank screen. Have tried syncing with iTunes on mac

    App Store says there is one update available. But the Updates page shows a blank screen. Have tried syncing with iTunes on mac as well. But nothing seems to work. Am using Iphone 5 6.1.4. Help

    Next time that happens while on WiFi, turn WiFi off in settings, wait about 30 seconds or so, then turn WiFi back on. Sometimes you have to do this two or three times, but this fixes that issue as well.

  • I have tried to update my Facebook app and it says there's not enough available storage to download it - what can I do?

    I have tried to update my Facebook app and it says there's not enough available storage to download it - I have deleted lots of apps to try and make more space but still not enough  what can I do?

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.
