Partition Size difference between Disk Utility and Finder

I installed a new hard drive in my MacBook Pro (2.33ghz late 2006). The new drive is 320gb.
In Disk Utility it shows up correctly as a single partition (297.65GB). However, when I hit command+I in finder on the disk it shows its size as 176.88GB - a 120GB difference.
Anyone any idea what the problem could be?
Thanks
Shay
PS I used to have a bootcamp partition on the drive but have removed it, maybe this has something to do with it.

In DU is it showing the size of the DRIVE or the partition on the drive?
I'd clone the partition you have to an external and then repartition and reformat that drive to get it all back to one partition. How big was the boot camp partition?

Difference between Disk:0 and Sup-bootflash

Hello,
Can anyone tell me the difference between Disk:0 and Sup-bootflash. Where does the IOS boot from by default Disk:0 or Sup-bootflash. Can you configure 6509 Switch to boot the IOS from whaterver flash you want Disk:0 or Sup-bootflash?
Any Suggestions.
Thanks,

Disk:0 (and Disk:1, on the sups that support it) is an accessible CF slot. Sup-bootflash is an internal flash for the SP. With native mode, it's not used. Bootflash is an internal flash used by the RP.
Default booting, usually uses the internal flash, on many of the later native IOSs, this can be overridden by IOS boot statements.
Older sup720s internal bootflash isn't large enough for the later IOS images so you're forced to boot from the external flash. (I work with quite a few of these. Often we keep an older IOS image on the internal bootflash so if someone pulls the CF, we have something to bring a sup720 on, although it may not recognize later line cards.)
Later sup720s have had their internal flash upgraded (to use an CF). The larger internal flash has been renamed to bootflash. BTW, there's also an upgrade kit to replace the older internal RP bootflash with a CF.
Besides the boot commands in an IOS image, the config-register also controls booting. If a sup720 just boots into ROMMOM, you can select different media/IOS images to boot from. Also BTW, there's different versions of the ROMMOM, which have some impact on how a sup720 can boot its IOS.

File size difference between DNG Converter and Lightroom Beta 4

Hi,
I want to go the all-DNG route and am trying several things ATM. I want my files to be as small as possible, thus I disable previews and RAW embedding and enable compression in DNG Converter. In Lightroom, there are no options at all. What I do get, are pretty amazing file size differences:
Original .NEF as it came from my D70s: ~5MB
.DNG created by DNG Converter: ~1MB
.DNG created by Lightroom: ~4MB
The very small file size in DNG Converter is the one that bother's me most. I get these small files from time to time. I checked both the DNG and the NEF in Photoshop, and they seem to be identical. So my question is: What triggers these small file sizes? Do I loose anything? Or is the Lightroom DNG converter not as advanced as the stand alone version?
Maybe this helps: I get the ridicolous small files for very dull subjects that tell the computer scientist in me that it should be easily compressable by common compression algorithms.
Thanks for any pointers,
Markus

Thanks for the hint! It did make me revisit those files and now I see the reason for the small file sizes: The Apple Finder does note update the file size view once a file was added to a folder. Here's what I did:
Opened a folder full of .NEFs in detail view in Finder.
Converted them using DNG Converter
Looked at the sizes of the files as they were shown in the Finder window allready open.
Unfortunately, those file sizes are not correct. If I open a new Finder window of the same folder, file sizes are correctly reported as between 3.5 and 5 MB.

File size difference between version 3 and 4

I'd like to know how to publish a file at the smallest possible size with Captivate 4.
I have 1 file that is 9176KB published with Captivate 3. The same file published with Captivate 4 becomes 10300KB. I didn't add any functionality just publish it once saved in 4.
What is the same content ~1MB bigger with the new version? How do I make it smaller?
Thanks,

Is there a size difference between Iphone 4 and Iphone 4S?

I want to buy a phone case for my IPhone 4, but, the case i want is only sold in size IPhone4S.
Do you think if i bought a 4S case for a 4, it would fit?
The only difference i believe there is between the phones, is that the volume buttons are slightly moved, will that matter?

That would depend on the case and iPhone 4 model. The buttons and mute switch on the iPhone 4 ATT model are located a little bit different than the iPhone 4S. The locations on the Verizon iPhone 4 and the iPhone 4S are the same. Most cases for the iPhone 4 and 4S now are designed to accommodate both setups, so chances are you won't have a problem. If you have an ATT iPhone make sure the case has slots for the volume buttons and mute switch rather than small holes for the buttons and switch.

Video quality and size difference between clip preview and project view

Hey, Just want the video to look the same in project view as it does in clip preview. Video in project view is in widescreen mode and quality isn't as good. When i use the effects tool to fit the video to the screen the quality looks horrible.
Clip is 1920x1080

Size difference between 60GB and 80GB?

Is there a size difference between the 60GB and 80GB iPod with videos? I was looking at a Belkin Tunepower power source for my iPod and it said it has sleeves for 30GB and 60GB iPod videos, but I just checked the Apple store and they only sell 30 and 80 gig iPods. Will my 80GB fit the 60GB sleeve?

Your 80 GB ought to fit the 60 GB case, since the exact dimensions of both iPods are identical:
60 GB: 4.1 x 2.4 x 0.55 inches
80 GB: 4.1 x 2.4 x 0.55 inches
Of course, if you are using a 30 GB, that would be different, since the 30 GB is a little thinner than the 60 and 80 GB models of Fifth Generations.

Disk Utilty - what is difference between single volume and single partition

In Disk Utility I can, should I wish, format a drive by using Erase to create a single volume. Also in Disk Utility, I have the option to use Partition to create one (or more) partition.
What is the difference between a volume and a single partition?
What are their relative merits?
In what circumstances would I want to create a single partition instead of a volume?
Disk Utility also prompts me to name the volume or partition. From experience, what would you suggest as a suitable name and where is this information subsequently used?

A "volume" or "partition" are the same thing. The subject of using partitions has been covered many times on the forums. Do some searching and you'll find quite a lot of information. Also try doing some Google searching.

Difference between running Disk Utility and "Archive and Install"

Hi all,
I'm one of the poor souls who is having trouble with the software update 10.4.6. My iMac stopped halfway while doing the update, and when it attempted to do a restart, the iMac froze. I did the mistake of forcing it to shutdown, instead of just letting it take its time.
Last night, I attempted the Safe Boot but it did not work. The progress indicator kept on spinning for hours! SHOULD I TRY IT AGAIN?
Also, can someone tell me the difference between unning Disk Utility and "Archive and Install"? I figure I might have to do one of them to repair my iMac. I just want to do something that will reduce the chances of me wiping out my files. I also have the TechTool Deluxe CD with me. Should I be using that instead?
Please help.

i just had a simialr issue with my powerbook. I stress similar, but in the end i had the same issue with the start up screen (light blue, apple icon and the spinning indicator below it. I could not get past it.
I ran disk utility from the boot disk, and got a kernel panic on verifying and and repairing permissions.
So (and this is what Im suggesting you try) in disk utility I made a disk image of my internal hard drive and saved it to an external hard drive. Takes a while but a worthy precaustion.
Second I went ahead and installed the OS on the external drive. Once that was done I boted from the external to oprn the disk image back up of my powerbooks internal drive. After that checked out i wnet back to the boot disk and did a clean install of the OS (wiping the internal) and things were fine after that.
maybe wait and see how other people respond to this before jumping into it, but its smart to back everything up on an external any day.
much luck to you

External HD crashed by Disk Utility and all partitions gone

I had a 320GB Seagate external hard drive with 3 NTFS partitions.
They are 200GiB, 40GiB, 38.1GiB
I tried to format the middle partition into an Mac Partition and failed. After that, all partitions are gone and when I plug the HD into a PC, the disk manager recognize the whole space of disk as free.
the Log of the Disk Utility is as follows
2009-06-17 21:38:50 +0800: Preparing to erase : “PERSONAl”

Then a new "disk2" appears in the Disk Utility and can't be ejected easily. There's also something like picasaUpload stuff bumping up during the short formatting.
I tried to recover it using DiskTest 6.11 but it appears to take 14 hr to scan the whole disk and will not necessarily fix the problem.
I have Anyone have suggestion on how to recover the partition? The 200GiB partition is really important for me.

NTFS partitions can not be readily altered to begin with, and when there are multiple such partitions on a drive you should not attempt to alter only one. Since Disk Utility basically can't manage an NTFS partition, when you tried to alter the 'middle partition' (which in most cases is really a 'sub partition' or secondary partition to the 'main' or primary partition) you destroyed the whole of the volume's data structure. Unless you use a data recovery service or use data recovery software yourself, your data is gone. You should not attempt to alter NTFS formatted drives from Disk Utility.

Difference between open loop and closed loop mode when finding the index on a stepper motor axis.

I have a test system which uses a PXI-7352 motion controller with a MID-7602 stepper motor drive to position a 200 step/revolution stepper motor with an attached 1000 line encoder. The MID-7602 is configured for 64 microsteps per step, giving 12,800 microsteps and 4000 encoder counts per revolution. The system is controlled using LabView 7.1 and NI-Motion 6.13. To home the motor, I've defined a sequence in MAX which first finds the reverse limit switch and then moves forward to the encoder index pulse.
When finding its reference in open loop mode, the system its reference at the same microstep each time. When findings its reference in closed loop mode, the system finds its reference somewhere within about a 20 microstep wide range.
I hope somebody out there with more experience with this controller can describe the difference between finding the encoder index in open loop mode and finding the encoder index in closed loop mode.
Thanks,
Mark Moss

Hello Mark,
I suspect that the behavior you are experiencing has today
with the resolution difference between your encoder and your
microstepping. Let me illustrate with an
example:
Example Setup
Stepper
Motor
NI
Motion Controller
10
steps per encoder pulse (Every 10 steps the controller gets an encoder
pulse, therefore positions 0-9 all appear to be 0 to the controller)
The
system has a maximum of 3 pull in moves set
Open Loop Scenario
The
system is commanded to go to position 9.
The
controller sends out 9 pulses.
The
motor moves to position 9.
Closed Loop Scenario
The
system is commanded to go to position 9.
The
controller sends out 9 pulses.
The
motor moves to position 9.
The
controller checks its position and sees that it is still at position 0
because it has not received an encoder pulse.
Because
the controller thinks it is still at position 0, it sends another 9 pulses
as its first pull in move.
The
motor moves to position 18.
The
controller checks its position and sees that it is at position 10 because
it has only received one encoder pulse.
Because
the controller thinks it is still at position 10, it sends1 reverse pulse
as its second pull in move.
The
motor moves to position 17.
The
controller checks its position and sees that it is at position 10 because
it has only received one encoder pulse.
Because
the controller thinks it is still at position 10, it sends and additional
single reverse pulse as its third pull in move.
The
motor moves to its final position of 16.
I believe something similar is happening with your
application as it looks for the index pulse.
Because the controller does not compensate for what it perceives as
position error in open loop mode, the motor always goes to the same commanded
position. In closed loop mode, the motor
is bouncing around inside the single index encoder pulse trying to find a
certain position.
There are several recommendations I can make towards
correcting this behavior. These
recommendations are in order of effectiveness:
Setup
your system so that there are more encoder counts per revolution than
steps per revolution.
Turn
off pull-in moves by setting them to 0 in MAX.
Use an
open loop configuration.
Play
around with the pull in window in MAX.
Regards,
Luke H

Help needed. I have a 3TB external hard drive partitioned into 1TB's. I used one partition as backup for the main computer hard drive. But now it is greyed out as shown in the disk utility and its name changed, i dont know how that happened, i tried verifying and repairing it but had no luck. I also tried mounting and unmounting it but still no solution. Anyone to help please?

Looks bad. I would strongly advise backing up the stuff on the other two partitions as soon as possible in case the rest of the drive goes wrong.
Beyond that, Disk Utility has limited abilities to repair disks, DiskWarrior uses a different approach and might, emphasis might be more successful. It has certainly done the job for me in the past when Disk Utility could not.

I need help on my MacBook Pro. Recently I've deleted another partition of my disk from the disk utility and I found out that my disk capacity wasn't get into the normal one which is 750GB. Meanwhile I installed window 7 into the partition disk.

I need help on restoring my disk capacity back to normal. I installed window 7 into the partition disk through bootcamp and I deleted it from disk utility. After I erase the partition disk,I get my capacity to 499GB but not 750GB. Do I need to reinstall my MacBook or something to do with the restoring?

You shouldn't do it. You have to erase the Windows volume with Boot Camp Assistant, so it will restore the space onto the OS X volume and that volume will have 750 GB.
As you did it with Disk Utility, you have to resize your OS X partition manually:
1. Open Disk Utility, select your hard disk at the top of the sidebar, and go to Partition tab.
2. You will see a bar with Macintosh HD. You have to click it at the bottom right corner and drag it to the end of the bar, so Macintosh HD will use all the space of the hard drive, and press Apply.
3. Close Disk Utility and your OS X partition will have 750 GB

BCT - how to find the difference between installed BCT and the newest BCT?

Hi,
How do I find the difference between installed BCT and the newest BCT?
or find a description of the newest BCT?
Thank you.

Hi,
Thank you for your answer.
I am aware of the possibilities you mention.
I am looking for a way to find the parts of the business content that has been modified since I installed our current version WITHOUT installing anything.
That is for example:
If F&R business content has been moved from 3.x technology to 7.0
If there is changes to the F&R content at all
-> if our current version of business content already contains the newest version of Business Content for F&R, then it is not a prerequirement to an F&R project that we update business content.
The possibility to see that the only changes might be in the area of SAP HCM ...
Thank you.
