My macbook now has a higher capacity than it did at purchase.

I have not upgraded the memory at all, and the only real upgrade I have done is switching from Leopard to Lion about a month ago. I turned it on today, and it had a 'loading bar' underneath the Apple logo as it started. When the bar was half-full, it dissappeared and my computer booted as normal. This was several hours ago. I turned it on recently, and opened a Finder window. it said that I had 106 Gigabytes available. It has never been this high, and was in the 80's last time I checked. So I open System Profiler, and it says that my capacity is now 160.6 GB.
When I bought this computer, it said that the capacity was about 150. I know this for a fact, and it was purchased in Spring '09.
Why did it decide to gain more space now?
(I should note that when I upgraded to Lion, it freed up a lot of space, but didn't make the overall capacity larger to my knowledge.)

Hi ...
Total capacity has to be much higher then 106GB. Memory (RAM) has nothing to do with hard drive space. The total capacity of the drive will never change.
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop then click Get Info.
Capacity and Avaiable are available in the Get Info panel.

  • Unable to include report viewer web part. Error is, assembly has a higher version than referenced assembly

    I am making a web part in VS 2010 for SharePoint 2010. The web part uses Report Viewer control. The files I have referenced in my project with "Copy Local = True" option are:
    Microsoft.ReportViewer.Common.dll  
    Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms.dll
    Both are version 10 files.
    When I build the project it works fine. But when I add this web part in a page it shows following error.
    Compiler Error Message: CS1705: Assembly 'MySolution, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=8acc41a360fa228d' uses 'Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms, Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' which has a higher version
    than referenced assembly 'Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms, Version=9.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'
    I have already installed both Report Viewer 10 redistribute able and its SP1 but no luck. Also copied these DLLs to my SharePoint site bin folder. Did iisreset many times. .Net framework is 3.5 and OS is Windows Server 2008 R2.
    How to fix this issue?

    Fixed it by updating my web.config which was referencing version 9 instead of 10.

  • My repaired macbook now has Yosemite. I have my photo library on an external drive loaded with Aperture 2. Now unable to do anything.

    My "photo management macbook" crashed and when it was repaired it was upgraded to Yosemite. This macbook is used exclusively for photos using Aperture 2 (I also have a new Pro retina and an older macbook as well, with Yosemite and Lion loaded respectively). I have my photo library on an external drive and it was loaded using Aperture 2. Now I cannot use Aperture, cannot see photos, cannot upgrade to Aperture 3.6 and so cannot migrate photos to another software package, which I am going to have to do this year sometime.
    What can I do to get Aperture working and migrate my photos?

    On Yosemite you can only run Aperture 3.6, but that will not run on Lion.
    If you want to get Aperture running on your photo management macbook, restore it to the previous system from the last backup you made before the crash occurred, if you have a full Time Machine backup.  If you want to keep the Mac on Yosemite, try to restore the older system to an external drive and boot the Mac from that drive, when you want to work with Aperture 2.
    Otherwise your only option would be to buy the upgrade to Aperture 3.6.

  • MacBook now has nVidia shared graphics, is that sufficient for FCP?

    In this thread, a person is thinking about getting a MacBook:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2092105&tstart=10
    I was about to say no for Final Cut Pro, because I thought that the shared GPU of the MacBook was the limit, but then I read that all Final Cut Pro won't work with is the Intel shared GPU. Is there a sufficient difference in the MacBook and MacBook Pros that use the nVidia shared GPU to allow them to use Final Cut Pro?

    The NVIDIA 9400M that is used in the latest MacBooks is supported by the new FCS. However, at least one of the applications in that suite require a larger display than the MacBook's 1280x800 LCD (Color requires at least a 1680x1050 display). Thus, you might need an external monitor to support everything that is in the FCS package and in any case working at 1280x800 would be a bit painful in FCP.

  • Other system has higher release than XI syst. in landscape

    Hi,
    We are running an XI 3.0/NW04 system and we're currently planning to upgrade our BW 3.5/NW04 system to BI 7.0/NW04s.
    In the Master for NW04s you can read the following :
    "For PI, it is a prerequisite that no other system in your system landscape has a higher release than the PI system. If you want to upgrade or install an application in your system landscape, you first have to make sure that the current release of the PI system is on the same release level ‒ if required, you have to upgrade the PI system first to the new or a higher release."
    After having read this, my understanding is that we have to upgrade our XI system before upgrading the BW system.
    What are the consequences/implications running a system landscape where a system has a higher release than the XI-system ?
    Thanks in advance for help and hints.
    Rgds,
    Christian

    Hi Christian,
    The implications are, PI as the highest release is the only supported combination.  It is possible that other combinations may work, but they are not tested by SAP and, in the case of any issues, SAP Support will tell you to upgrade your PI system to the highest release.
    Best Regards,
    Matt

  • Higher capacity battery for N82?

    Hi, wondering if there are batteries available for the N82 than the 1050mAh BP-6MT battery?
    Just now I've got an unmetered internet package, use the bluetooth more and regularly listen to music on my n82, I can run out of battery within a day!

    Phones are designed to work with the battery they ship with and no others.
    You may find a battery from an alternative manufacturer that has a greater capacity than the original Nokia battery, but you are exposing yourself to risk by using it. Many of these so-called compatible batteries are in fact manufactured to shoddy standards and seem fairly prone to leakage and even explosion in some cases. Quite apart from the health hazard, any damage to your N82 caused by such a battery would immediately void the N82's warranty.
    The best solution by far is to purchase a second BP-6MT and carry it around charged. If the one in the phone does go flat, no worries. Just switch the phone off and replace it. When you get home, charge both up.

  • Higher version than referenced assembly

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi Vibhav92,
    Could you verify if 13.0.40.190 version (or higher) of NationalInstruments.Common.dll is present on your system (i.e in the .NET GAC folder and Mesurement Studio 2010 folder).
    .NET GAC folder: C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\assembly\GAC_MSIL
    Measurement Studio 2010 folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\MeasurementStudioVS2010\DotNET\Assemblies (on 64-bit machine)
    If yes, please delete the current reference to NationalInstruments.Common.dll in your Visual Studio 2012 project and re-add the reference to NationalInstruments.Common.dll reference using the Add Reference dialog of Visual Studio 2012 in your project. Make sure the reference to NationalInstruments.Common.dll in your Visual Studio 2012 project is 13.0.40.190 or higher.

    My Macbook Pro has a black screen when running in Bootcamp Windows 7. Since I updated the mac side my windows side now starts up with completely black screen - no prompt, nothing, Cap keys still light up as does mouse and DVD drive seems to run.
    Will not show up in safe mode, will not show when started from Windows 7 DVD.
    I suspect the Mac update wiped out my PC video drivers but can not think of a way to re-install?
    Can see the PC volume from Mac side with files.
    I've looked at all the online solutions so far and have tried most of them without success. Please help!

    Specifically, the posts by Dunsany and valkyr did the trick.  I booted in safe mode, uninstalled and deleted the Nvidia driver, disabled automatic driver installation, and restarted normally.  I then manually downloaded and installed the previous Nvidia driver for my graphics card (which at the time of this writing was 335.23, rather than the latest which was 337.88), and everything is now bueno!
    Two hiccoughs along the way: First, when I tried to uninstall the Nvidia driver the first time, when I restarted I got the login screen (which was a good sign), but it quickly went black again.  I powered down, restarted in safe mode again, and repeated the uninstallation process, and it worked the second time.  Second, when I started the manual install of the 335.23 driver, the computer played a sound similar to the one for disconnecting a USB device, and the screen went black.  I'd seen a lot about trying to increase the brightness (though it hadn't worked up to this point; but if you haven't tried it yet, might as well); I tried it, and it worked! So far I'm back up and running. [/fingers crossed]
    Hope this helps someone else!

    Check Safari / Preferences - Extensions. If you have any installed, turn that off, relaunch Safari.
    If it's not Extensions, check for third party Safari add ons.

    also is there is any one know the manufacturing country of the macbook airavailable on the apple.com site? is it made in US or made in China?
    thanks a lot in advance

    Hi, it can't be upgraded (well not without some serious warranty voiding surgery to the internals). If you wanted to upgrade you would need to buy another one
    Its designed in the US, built in China
