"Other" option in storage is taking more space..

Is it normal that from the very first time I open my macbook pro after operating system reinstallation is that the "Other" option in storage is already taking up more space? Now, I have 4.1 MB Audio, 42.3 MB Movies, 115.4 MB Photos, 1.1 GB Apps, 0KB Backups, and 9.12 GB OTHER... (This is right after the Mac OS X v 10.7.3 reinstallation.
Some advice please...
Thanks..

I see.. Thank you...

  • Layout taking more space than necessary...

    Hi folks...my applet has two panels inside it arranged in a flowlayout. The first panel is a 5 row x 1 col gridlayout, and the second is working fine. The problem with the first one is that that it is taking more space than necessary and going out the bottom of the applet. Now if I do this in appletviewer, resizing the window by a few pixels will make it relayout the panel and everything looks fine, but of course you can't ask people to do that =) What's the problem here? I've tried validating both the applet and the problem panel, and tried invalidating it first. Any ideas? thanks!

    Here is the first half of it...it has all the relevant info. I took out the validate stuff 'cause it wasn't helping.

  • Why is my Time Machine Backup Taking More Space then my Hard Drive?

    I have a Late-2009 MacBook model with a 250GB hard drive.  My external drive is 1TB.  I use it for Time Machine backups as well as other storage.  My backups on that drive are a bit less then 900GB, which is 90% of that disk.  My hard drive is only 250GB so how is it over 3 times as large?  I would like to have more storage for other files.  What would you recomend doing?  Can I partition the external disk?

    How time machine works is that it makes an initial back up and from there it scans your system for changes.  When it finds a change it adds the changes on top of your current backup. So if you have a folder full of pictures then rename them or change them, etc it'll resave/archive the pictures ontop of what it already backed up.  It doesn't keep a single "state" of backup.  This allows you to "look back in time" and see if you can find something you might have accidentally changed or deleted or etc.  Once the disk becomes full it will delete the oldest backups to keep archiving newer files.
    I would suggest that you partition your external drive to a size that allows you to keep free the desired extra storage space you're looking to use.  For example partition the drive to two 500GB partitions one for storage one for time machine.

  • Trimmed video taking more space!!!!?!!

    I Have a 16GB iPhone 6 & it was pretty full earlier this week so I decided to do my regular "i need room to update" routine & began deleting stuff which is hard because it's all stuff like pictures I really liked and apps I truly use (but get back after I get the update so it's okay). Anyways so I decided since I can't delete any videos I'll trim some and save them as the original  to get rid of space but apparently that takes up a TON of space!!!! So now my phone doesnt have any space and I'm just angry and I want to know why it does that/can I fix it?? ..I'm so close to going back to android over this
    & let's not forget the 1000+ pics & 40+ vids I don't actually have on my phone that it says I do (no changing the date does NOT work)

  • ITunes taking more space then it should!

    Hey Apple Discussions,
    I have come to you guys for a solution for the same problem for the second time...(http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1351866&tstart=0)
    the first time i thought it would really work(look in the other thread about the script) but then i noticed something.
    itunes isnt just music...it stores all the movies. so that resolved about 15GBs of my problem...but now i have new amount of problem
    iTunes shows that I have 19.69GB of music(that shows at the bottom of the application) and 9.98Gb of movies, which totals to 29.67GB. But when i right click on the itunes folder to "get info" it shows i have 35.39GB
    can anyone help me out on this problem? i have a wierd thing about freeing space on my computer

    Try this -> List Music Folder Files Not Added v2.0
    "This script recursively searches user-selected folders for files not added to iTunes and creates a text file listing their file"

    Hello,
    As per me memory dumps are generated when fatal error occurs.
    How to avoid it ? See below
    1. Please apply latest Service pack as well as cumulative update .If you still receive this dumps please open a case with Microsoft and allow them to analyze the dumps
    2. Generally a SQL server not patched to latest SP or CU can cause this issue.
    Hope this helps
    Out of curiosity..can you post one of the dumps ,what is output of below query
    select @@version

  • Phone states 'OTHER' storage is taking up most of the space on her iphone 4, how do i find it to make more space?

    Ok this may be a simple fix but I cant figure it out.  I am trying to give my wife more room on her phone to take photos of our new baby, so I synced her phone to iTunes it shows the bar of whats taking up space on it, and 3/4ths of the phone space is categorized as 'other' but when you look at what is on the phone there is almost nothing on it, 30 songs no video or tv or books a few small apps, but nothing that would take up 3/4ths of the phones memory, its an 8 gb iPhone 4, how do i get this 'other' crap off the phone! HELP!

    Try to restore the iPhone from iTunes.

  • I keep getting a "Not enough storage to back-up my device" message since I upgraded to the new software. Short of purchasing more memory, and deleting some content, are there any other options?

    What are my options for increasing storage capacity besides purchasing more memory, or deleting existing content. The new software install used up much of my storage capacity and the message is driving me crazy. Any ideas?? Thanks!

    There are two kinds of storage messages that appewr on iOS devices. Your question seems at odds with your description so there might be some confusion here.
    If the storage refers to not enough for an icloud back up then you need to purchase more icloud space or turn off iCloud backup. You can backup using iTunes on your computer with paying for additional iCloud storage.
    if the storage refers to that on your iOS device as in there is not enough storage to update, then you have two options and neither option involves adding more storage since the amount of storage on an iOS devoce is fixed. One option is to delete stuff from your device to free up more space. The second option is to complete the update while your devoce is connected to your computer running the latest version of iTunes. When you do that the update is downloaded to your computer and extracted there so it doesn't require as much free space on your iOS device.

    Hi there kburgee! Other can be anything from App Data (information saved from apps like game progress, or passwords) to or old messages that you haven't deleted! The absolute best way to clean up some space is to restore your iPhone.

  • Have storage optimised with Photo Library but need more space - How do I delete photos just off my MacBook Pro and not from other devices and icloud

    Hiya,
    I moved a 40GB file off my MacBook Pro to make room so that I could enable the iCloud Photo Library. I optimised the storage but during this process it used 10GB of space and so I cant now put back the file I took off my mac. I though that once I had optimised the storage I would gain space not loose it!. So i'm wondering how can I delete photos off my MacBook and not off all my devices and so I can get this 40 GB file back on ??
    Cheers

    Hi, that's how it works. photos in Photo Stream are these ones that actually exist on your Camera Roll. Photo Stream is an iClous service that helps you to share photos. Just think about Dropbox or any other cloud services, isn't it that you delete a file on your computer, then found the file no longer exist on your other devices?
    If you want to keep the photos while making them occupy less space, I suggest you try SafeEraser's Photo Compressor feature. It compress the photos and make it easy for you to keep them on your iPhone without losing much quality.

  • I deleted some of my text message histories to get rid of 'other' space (6.33 gb). They were gone from iMessage, but they still showed up in search, so they were still taking up space on my phone. I synced my iPhone (4s) but the messages are still there.

    I deleted some of my text message histories to get rid of 'other' space (6.33 gb). They were gone from iMessage, but they still showed up in search, so they were still taking up space on my phone. I synced my iPhone (4s) with iTunes but the messages are still there. How can I get rid of these texts for good and have more space on my phone? 6.33 gb of other space is way too much, thats almost half of my overall available space (13.5 gb.) I don't want to reset my phone and lose all my other texts/ app progress/ photos. I do have backups, but when I restore from the backup the other space comes back along with everything else. What can I do to get rid of this other space and the 'deleted' text messages? (I'm running iOS 6.1.3 if that helps)

    But once again, I do not want to lose my other texts, app progress, and photos. I could sync the photos but i would still lose the app progress and texts. I would only restore if it was the only option left, but the other space, as already stated, isnt the main concern. The main concern is those 'deleted' texts. If they go, then a good size chunk of the other space goes. I know you CAN delete texts for good. It worked fine before. All i want to know is why its not working for me now, and how to fix it.
    I also know that when you delete texts on your iphone, they get marked for deletion, however they stay on your device (thats why they show up when you search for them.) then when you sync your device with itunes, the texts marked for deletion should disappear. When i synced they didnt disappear. Thats what i need an explanation/solution for. Why the texts marked for deletion didnt get fully deleted after the sync.

  • HT201656 In itunes my iphone shows up as having nearly 8G of "Other"...what is taking up all this space?

    In itunes my iphone shows up as having nearly 8GB of "Other"...what is taking up all this space?
    On the iphone itself under settings, general, usage it indicates 12.7GB used and only 840MB available.  I have one app (Audible) that is taking up 1.6GB, photos&camera take up 636MB, Spotify takes up 495MB, everything else takes up less less than 100MB each and totalling less than 2.5GB.
    So if Audible is taking up 1.6GB and Spotify is taking up 636MB and all other apps take up 2.5GB this combined totals around 5GB.  I have a 16GB iphone 4s. 
    16GB minus 5GB (my calculated usage) equals 11GB remaining.  Allow for some required space utilization (let's say 3GB) and that leaves 8GB remaining.  Why does my phone indicate 840MB available?  That seems to equate to the amount shown in itunes that indicates 8GB of "other".
    What is this 8GB of "other" that is taking up so much storage space on my iphone?
    Thanks in advance.

    Other is usually around 1 GB...
    A  ' Large Other ' usually indicates Corrupt Data...
    First Try a Restore from Backup...
    But... if the Large Other Persists, that is an Indicator of Corrupt Data in the Backup...
    Then a Restore as New is the way to go...

  • OLAP taking 5 time more space than RDBMS?

    Hello,
    I have been investigating Oracle's OLAP capabilities for about 2 weeks now in an effort to determine whether OLAP would be a feasible solution for my company's data warehousing needs.
    I have created an extremely simple analytic workspace that is based on a single relational fact table. The fact table contains both the dimension values (integers) and the measuers (floats). There are a total of about 300,000 dimension values all of which reference measures (the data is perfectly dense).
    I created a dimension and a data cube using the Enterprise Manager OLAP interface. Next, I created the analytic workspace using the Analytic Workspace Manager wizard. This AW building step took an extraordinary amount of time considering the simplicity of the data. In fact, I started it on a Friday afternoon, monitored it for about 2 hours, and it still hadn't finished, so I let it run over the weekend (for this reason, I am not sure how much time exactly it took, but it's definitely quite a few hours). Is this normal? Copying the relational table takes 10 seconds, and I find it hard to believe that building an AW with the same data would take so much time.
    Finally, coming back on Monday I see that the AW was created successfully. I went into the tablespace map to look at how big the binary blob is. To my great surprise, the AW was taking up about 5 times more extents than my relational table (contrary to what I've read so far about OLAP and its supposedly very storage-efficient data cubes).
    I was wondering if anybody could advise me on what I could have done wrong and/or inefficiently? Am I missing something here, or is OLAP really consuming much more space comapred to relational tables?
    Thanks!

    Gotcha.
    Well, here are a few ideas:
    1) There is a bug in the 9i OLAP where dimension loads take WAY too long. I have a dimension with approx 77,000 members. On 9i, it took hours to load. On 10g 10.1.0.3 it loads in under 1 minute. You might want to open a TAR, the bug was something about one of the patch sets not being applied right
    2) From a space standpoing, I wouldn't worry about this too much. When the AW wizard creates an "empty" workspace, it already has lots of items in it that support the metadata, etc. Also, there is the concept of "free pages" that get allocated but end up not being used (they are "temp")
    To check this out, attach your AW and then fire up the OLAP worksheet. To see "free" pages vs. "used" pages, do the following:
    show aw(pages)
    show aw(freepages)
    One last thing you can do, to see the size of all items in the AW:
    attach AWname ro first
    limit name to all
    sort name d obj(disksize)
    rpr w 40 obj(disksize)
    This will show the "relative" size of the items, I think in "pages" (to see how big a page is just do a
    show aw(pagesize)
    Hope this helps!

  • HT204053 When you find iCloud in settings, why isn't music an option?  I cannot access my music on my iPad.  I have purchased more space and iTunes Match.

    When you find iCloud in Settings, why isn't music an option?  I have purchased iTunes  Match and more space in iCloud, but when I go to music it says no music found?  Help,

    You enable iTunes Match on your iPad by making sure your are signed into the Apple ID you used to subscribe in iTunes Match in Settings>iTunes & App Stores, then turning iTunes Match and Show All Music to On.
    Also, iTunes Match doesn't use your iCloud storage plan so you don't need to purchase a storage upgrade to use it.
