Something is filling up my laptop

Hi gang,
My secretary uses a MacBook Pro. Literally, the only thing used on it is iCal, which syncs to Mobile Me. No pics, no music, no video. Despite this, there is only 1GB left as free space on the 250 GB hard drive. I tried searching for large files, but there is no single large file taking up space. I suspect that there must be something slowly filling up the hard drive space. How do I figure out what is taking up all of the room?
Cheers!

How do I figure out what is taking up all of the room?
there are many 3rd party apps like Whatsize and Omnidisksweeper that will do this but my personal favorite is the terminal method described on this page

I would suspect a runaway log file. that page also expalains where to look for those.

How to fill up my laptop screen with Firefox horizontally as it currently has a 3" margin on the left and right sides?tly has a

I just purchased a 17.3" screened-laptop using MS Outlook and Explorer 9 Browser. I cannot use Firefox as my default Browser because I cannot get Firefox to fill up my screen.When I open up Firefox, it maintains a large 3" margin on the left and right sides which does not exist when I open up Explorer 9. Increasing the font size only increases the text size vertically but does nothing to decrease the margin size horizontally.

You can use this extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages:

When typing on laptop hand hits something, screen changes,lose current page??

When typing on my laptop keyboard, sometimes the palm of my hand will hit some keys, don't know what or where, and my page might change or I lose what I have typed. Does this have anything to do with the "hot keys" on my key board for my Toshiba computer? Should I or can I turn off hot keys to avoid this? Please help as it is very frustrating when in the middle of something.

I found on my laptop that the touch pad was interfering too much when I was typing so I started using a USB mouse and disabling the pad. It didn't stop all the behaviour you describe, but it has cut it down considerably. Now the only time this problem occurs is when I am being klutzy with my typing, such as hitting the Enter key when I want the right Shift key.
Hope this helps some.

Hard drive filled up after I did back up using Superduper

I bought a new Macbook Air. I was going to back up my old Macbook Air data onto an external drive before I set up the new Macbook Air. Also my old Macbook Air (1.86 GHz, 120GB HDD) had a broken hinge and I was going to take it to the Apple A/S center to have the hinge repaired. So I wanted to back up my data just in case.
I have backed up the data from the old Macbook Air using the same external drive twice before using Superduper and it seemed to go fine both occasions. I have OS 10.6.0 on the old Macbook Air.
I am typing this on the new Macbook Air by the way (2.16GHz, 256 GB, 4GB memory).
I use the unregistered version of the Superduper that requires you to erase and then do a full backup.
I plugged in the external drive using a powered USB hub. (On previous occasions I have used a USB cord that plugs into two computers, as one computer doesn't provide enough power; this time I forgot to set up the second computer and just plugged it into the hub. The blue light came up on the external drive when I plugged it in.)
It came up with "Untitled", an orange icon, on the Superduper window. It asked me whether I want to copy Macintosh HD to "Untitled". I pressed "OK".
It started copying.
Then I was doing something nearby the computer and accidentally tugged on the lid of the Macbook Air. The hinge is broken and as soon as I touched the Macbook Air lid, the lid laid flat on the table, with the laptop completely open. It does that occasionally because the hinge is broken and the slightest pressure on the lid means it will spring right open (180 degrees).
I checked the Superduper window and it seemed to be copying OK. The number of files copied was going up and up.
However I got a message that said that I hadn't ejected the disk properly and that could damage the disk.
I assumed that meant the external drive "Untitled". I thought I should end the copying and start again.
So I quit Superduper. Something strange happened after that. I can't remember what it was exactly. I think it didn't want to quit. I had to use Force Quit.
I then unplugged and plugged the external drive back into the hub. I opened Superduper. This time it had "Untitled 2".
I thought that was strange, and I restarted the computer hoping to see "Untitled" in the Superduper after restarting the computer and opening Superduper again.
However, I got "Untitled 2" again even though the icon of the external hard drive was labeled "Untitled" on my Desktop.
(I think this is where I went wrong.)
I pressed copy again. About halfway through it suddenly stopped and said that the copying had failed.
I unplugged the external hard drive and plugged it in again, and restarted the computer. I opened Superduper again and this time I could not get it to copy. The copy part was grayed out.
I opened Disk Utility and checked the "Untitled" disk. It said it was fine. Verify was OK.
But when I checked the Macintosh HD I got all these error messages and the volume was full. 105GB was used up and 0 GB was available.
Very strange as I had about 20GB available before I tried to do the backup. (I checked the disk capacity of the HD before I did the backup.) I knew for sure that my hard drive was not full before I did the backup.
I tried to repair it but it didn't work. It told me to restart using the operating disk and use First Aid.
I put in the Snow Leopard operating disk in the Superdrive and restarted the computer holding down "C".
The operating disk came up, I chose English and chose Disk Utility. I tried repair. It gave messages that the Library Core had been changed. It said the disk was repaired and OK now. However, the volume was still 105 GB with about 12MB available (before I did the Disk Utility using the OS disc, I deleted a few music files.)
I just restarted the computer after having removed the Superdrive from the computer and it took like twenty minutes to restart. It has restarted though finally (while I am typing this).
I don't know what to do. I don't know what I did to corrupt the disk. I do not want to make things worse. So far the Desktop looks unchanged.
I can't do anything because it seems the computer's hard drive is full eg. browse the internet properly – it keeps coming up with error messages about Preferences being changed.
I think the disk got full because I inadvertently was backing up onto the computer's hard drive (the 'Untitled 2' was probably somewhere on the hard drive of the computer, and not the external hard drive.
I am worried that I have wrecked the back up drive and I have ruined the MBA's hard drive.
What should I do?
Should I just delete some files including program files and free up some space at least 2 GB? I can delete heavy duty program files like Adobe Creative Suite from Applications. (I have the disks so I can always reinstall them again.) What about deleting MS Office? (I have the disk for that.) Will doing that affect the Photoshop files and the Word files I already have?
What do you recommend I delete so that I can free up lots of space?
And how do I find what is filling up my laptop and why there is almost zero GB left on my hard drive. If I did do a backup onto the hard drive where do I find this and how can I delete it?
I was planning to do the backup and on the new MBA do a migration of everything on the backup using the Superdrive – a clone. I have done this before (when I bought the old MBA) and it worked (I did clean install a few times when I mucked up the hard drive in the past and restored the clone that was on the backup external drive onto the computer).
How can I tell if the external drive that I tried backing up onto is OK?
I thought I would check here before I did anything in case I made things worse.
I am going to use the latest operating system on the new Macbook Air. I have read here that 10.6.0 is risky – all your data can suddenly be erased.
I will also update the old Macbook Air to 10.6.4 once I have got things fixed on it.
Thanks for any advice.

There may be one or more large folders in your /Volumes folder that shouldn't be there and are using up your disk space.
/Volumes is an 'invisible" folder at the root level of your internal drive which is supposed to contain only the "mount points" for your attached disk volumes, but sometimes an actual folder can mistakenly get created there, often as a result of a failed copy operation such as you experienced with SuperDuper. Such a "ghost" folder will have a name similar to a real external drive, and can contain data that was meant for the real external drive but never got there. When the real external volume then re-mounts, it can no longer use its own name for the mount point in /Volumes because that name is already "taken", and so an extra number gets appended to the mount point. This may have happened twice in your situation, since the actual drive is now mounting as "Untitled 2".
/Volumes is a hidden folder, but it's easy to peek into it. First you should *eject and then physically disconnect all external drives*. Then:
Finder>Go menu> Go to Folder
enter /Volumes and click Go
You should see an alias to the startup volume. Don't touch this, or any other aliases. Do you also see a large folder named "Untitled, and perhaps another folder named "Untitled 1," which are not aliases? If so, delete them, and restart.

Big ATV, small laptop?

So I have a MacBook Pro with 80gb drive, 35gb of music and various TV shows and movies. My 80gb drive is bursting. I bought an ATV w/160gb drive so that I could keep all my newly purchased TV shows and movies on there without worrying about filling up my laptop drive. Unfortunately in retrospect this looks like its flawed thinking since I still have to sync from somewhere? I can purchase new movies on ATV but then it has to sync back to the host system? I guess the only data that can exist on the ATV is rented movies?
Anyone have a solution to my dilemma? I want to fully sync songs, photos from my laptop to ATV but I want TV shows and movies to ONLY exist on the ATV, so they don't fill up the hard drive on my laptop - where I would never watch them anyways.

Well, one possible solution is:
1. Buy an external USB or Firewire hard drive that is larger than 160GB.
2. Diskcopy your current OS over to the external drive.
3. Unlink the aTV from your internal Mac drive.
4. Then boot off the external drive, and rename the computer to something other than it currenlty is named on the internal drive.
5. Nest, link the aTV to the external drive.
6. Then, load up your external drive with all the media you want and sync that with the aTV.
7. Finally, reboot off the internal drive, and aTV shouldn't try to sync with it, and you won't need to have all the media on the internal drive anymore.

Ipad 2 not detected in recovery mode on my ASUS Windows 7 laptop

I have had this issue on all my idevices since I got this laptop, so this isn't directly associated with the new update.
I can sync my idevices with itunes on my laptop without any issues, but every time I try to install an iOS update, when it get to the stage where it is "preparing to restore your device" or some such, the laptop installs a new device driver and then itunes just spins awhile until it finally spits out error 1601 and then the device is stuck on the screen where it prompts you to connect to itunes.
At this point itunes on my laptop will not detect the device. I can see it listed in my device manager and it claims the usb driver is working correctly, however it no longer makes the beeping sound when I plug or unplug the cable, though it does disappear and reappear in device manager, which indicates it recognizes ipad plugged in, but not in the same way.
I have tried all the advice on the apple website re: unintalling reinstalling itunes an all it's components, disabling antivrus, firewall and non essential services, removing usb devices etc to no avail.
If I take my device over to my parents 32 bit vista desktop it recognizes it, installs the driver and itunes recognizes an ipad in recovery mode and I was able to restore the software and update to the new iOS on that desktop, then had to bring it back to my laptop to restore the software from my last backup.
My first question is....when the new ios is being installed is it putting the device into recovery mode as part of the process or is it going into recovery mode because the process errors out? If it's the former, then my assumption is that the whole issue is that for some reason something on my laptop is stopping itunes from being able to recognize my ipad while in recovery mode. If the later, then ?
My second question is....is the problem the driver, the usb port or something else unique to the laptop? I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the driver, but if i let winows detect it after uninstalling it can't find a driver and i get the exclamation point. If i try to manually install per the apple instructions, it tells me that the driver file is not compatiable with my device. So either windows is somehow installing the wrong driver while device is in recovery or the comp isn't detecting what type of device it is properly or ?
I'm hoping maybe i can get the next os update over the cloud and this will become a non-issue, but having to go borrow a pc to update this thing gets really old as the laptop is my only computer, so any ideas would be appreciated.
Laptop is an ASUS ROG - not sure the exact model running 64 bit Windows 7 It has two usb ports and i have the same issue on either one.
The PC i successfully updated my device on is an older Dell running a 32 bit version of Vista

Hopefully this will help you. Try placing your iPad in recovery mode again. You may have to try this a few times.
iOS: Unable to update or restore

Creating Gradient-filled shapes via JSFL CS5.5?

I'm trying to use JSFL to create a number of oval shapes on a layer, that have a gradient fill applied to them. I've stripped down the JSFL to very bare bones which I will post here:
var flashDoc = fl.getDocumentDOM();
var flashLib = flashDoc.library;
var flashTimeline = flashDoc.getTimeline();
// Set fill color for all shapes
var fill = flashDoc.getCustomFill();
fill.style = "radialGradient";
fill.color = "#FFFFFF";    // For some reason if I don't assign at least *something* here, the color array doesn't work and I get fully black shapes
fill.colorArray = ["#0033CC", "#FFFFFF"];
fill.posArray = [0, 255];
fill.focalPoint = 0;
fill.linearRGB = true;
flashDoc.setCustomFill( fill );
for( var i = 0; i < 10; ++i )
    var x = Math.random() * 500;
    var y = Math.random() * 400;
    var radius = Math.random() * 25 + 25;
    var left = x - radius;
    var top = y - radius;
    var right = x + radius;
    var bottom = y + radius;
    flashDoc.addNewOval( {left:left, top:top, right:right, bottom:bottom}, false, true );
When I run this script I do not get the results I'm expecting. I get a number of oval shapes that all share the same gradient transform, i.e., each shape only gets part of the gradient. The documentation says this function should be equivalent to using the draw oval tool, yet when you use that tool each oval you draw is associated with its own gradient transform.
My Questions:
1. Am I missing a piece here to create shapes each with their own gradient transform?
2. Is it a bug that I have to set something into fill.color, even though I'm supplying a color array? If I set nothing there, all the shapes will draw in full black.
3. Is there a way to specify gradient colors that include alpha?
Thanks for your time.

Yep, that made the rest of my whole day!! Works excelllent in the demo, and i'm just replacing all the Image<->Triangle commands. Wonderfulll & thanks a lot, LitDev. (enjoint the sb sample in your Test-DL :-))
PS:
Controls.SetTextBoxText(Controls.AddTextBox(10,10), "Enter your name here...")

Large first-time sync fills up C: drive

I just got a new 80GB video iPod for Christmas. I store a large number of ripped music files, one season of a TV series, and some photos on an external hard drive, and manage them through iTunes. The grand total for all this content was around 60GB. Long ago, I configured iTunes to use the G: drive (the external hard drive) as the location for all my content.
The first-time sync to the new iPod went fine--automatic, not manual--except that something kept filling up the C: drive. (Again, the music is actually stored on an external G: drive.) I de-installed things during the sync to free up extra GB of space. As soon as they disappeared, iTunes kept filling them up. I'm now out of hard disk space on C:, with no idea what iTunes or the iPod did to fill up this space.
If there's some cache that needs to be cleared, nothing has cleared it yet, and I have no idea where to find it (or what the consequences of clearing it will be). The process seemed smart enough to use what space was available, but no more. In other words, the sync continued, even after there was no room left on the C: drive.
I had recently updated iTunes, which for reasons unknown, blew away my music library. I had just rebuilt it before doing the sync.
The lack of space on the home PC puts me in a dangerous situation, given how fussy WIndows gets when it doesn't have spare room on the hard disk to use for updates and other operations. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Here are other specifics, for what they're worth:
Operating system = Windows XP
iPod firmware version = 1.2 (couldn't update to 1.2.1 because of the lack of disk space)
iTunes version = 7.0.2
External hard disk = Western Digital, mounted via USB
iTunes option, Keep iTunes Music folder organized = true
Podcast subscriptions = none
HP desktop Windows XP See posting

There isn't any cache for iTunes, other than the buffer for streaming radio. What you might want to do is search your My Documents\My Music\iTunes\ folder and see if there is anything in there other than the .xml library file. I know you did a search for *.mp3 but check it anyway...there is a chance that iTunes converted the files from *.mp3 to *.m4a (AAC audio)

Laptop won't run on AC power

Hi,
I have a Compaq Presario CQ50 and just ordered a replacement battery. When I get it, I plan on only using it when I need to. The problem is, my laptop is not seeming to be able to run on solely AC power. Every other laptop I know is capable of running without the battery in it, so I'm thinking that either my budget-priced laptop was designed poorly and is incapable of this feature, or that something is wrong with my laptop and I need to send it in.
To be precise, it does actually run for a few seconds on AC power, when I boot it up. But when Windows tries to start, it shuts off. Just a detail worth mentioning.
Thanks,
Roman

This is usually a symptom of a bad power jack.
The part looks like this:

Sorry to say your jack is soldered to the motherboard and it is a pretty big job for the end user to try to fix it.

There are numerous repair services on the internet and you might have a shop right in your town that can do it.

Cant connect from laptop to tv

hi all!
my mom wants her s10-3t to be connected to our tv which has a vga pc input..
i suppose vga out from laptop to vga in on the tv?
i tried detecting the tv on the laptop but it wont detect. i also tried to check the phrase "connect to 2nd vga anyway?" or something that said like that. pressed fn+f3 or win key + P and tried all options but still no signal flowing to the tv.
i have reformatted her laptop a few months ago (for some reason) and installed all drivers that i have downloaded here in lenovo site.
before i formatted her laptop we didnt had a chance to connect it to the tv.
any help? or i must have missed some driver or something to install to the laptop from its installers? what driver is needed to help it run via vga out to tv?
i repeatedly tried installing the chipset, bios, tv tuner, vga and nothing works.

hi bklixuz,
Welcome to Lenovo Forums!
There may be few things that you might want to check.
-Most TVs has an input/source option. Make sure your TV is set on VGA source mode.
-Pressing Fn+F3 should give you an interface for display selection. if that did not appear Try pressing:
Fn + F5: Open the interface for integrated wireless devices settings (on/off).
Fn + F6: Enable/Disable the touchpad.
to test the function option if it is working fine If those did not work either then Try reinstalling Lenovo Energy management and try the Fn+F3 again.
Download it here:
Lenovo Energy Management (Win7)
IN1EGC25WW5.exe
7.19 MB
Lenovo Energy Management (WinXP)
IN1EGC25WW1.exe
4.18MB
- Try using other display VGA Cable.

Just started using illustrator and do not understand why i cannot fill this trace

alright so i have my image that i have traced, its all chucnked up into groups (hair, eyes, etc...) but if i try to select say the hair and try to fill it, it does it really bad
http://img835.imageshack.us/img835/1310/picture6qs.png
and here i use the live paint tool which does an okay job but lines show through in places where i dont want them to
http://img543.imageshack.us/img543/6118/picture7g.png
i do not understand what important piece of information i missed, i thought i could just trace something and fill in the colors, apparently its not that simple.
this programs works in shapes right? i dont get why that even though everything looks closed off, and is connected to my knowledge, i cant get it to fill
(at least correctly)
cuz it feel like could do this in flash in no time, but i'd like to do this kind of work using programs that are specifically designed for it.
any sort of help would be greatly appreciated.

Kristacattack,
The tracing results in separate paths. The straight lines show where the open filled paths start and end.
In the first sample, you may drag with the Direct Selection Tool over the top where the straight lines meet and Ctrl/Cmd+J to join the the paths; you may do the same elsewhere to create continuous/closed paths (hopefully, you will only drag over the two endpoints, otherwise you will have to find and delete superfluous Anchor Points).
This may be better than just cheating with the Live Paint Tool because the artwork becomes more coherent.
Edit: Hi Monika.

LF alternatives to Arch for my laptop

Some months ago I've bought a new laptop for college use ( I'm studying computer engineering ).
And I've setup, w/o many problems, arch64 + awesomeWM and everything was working properly.
Even if I'm not really concerned about battery duration (we've plenty of wall plugs under our desks in any rooms we use ), I had installed and configured laptop-mode module and adjusted brightness not too use too much power (and not to burn my eyes aswell, since full brightness is rly too much ).
But honestly I've noticed that battery under win7 lasts almost 2 times with respect to arch and my hdd is not having that many spindowns that are pretty frequent under arch, even when I'm just typing in vim and my wifi connection is not shutting down suddendly (ok I know that I could adjust those parameters ) .
So the point is: is there any distro supporting more efficient and user-friendly/fast access power management for laptops in supported repositories, maybe other laptops features and possibly very close to arch? (I've a pretty new laptop, this may be the problem )
I'm running Ubuntu on my desktop but I'd like to run something more 'interesting' on my laptop without load of useless stuff on it and that allows me to make choices about WM and other programs.
Thanks in advance

You might be afflicted by the power regression bug that lurks somewhere in the Linux kernel. I don't follow kernel development that closely, but according to Phoronix this is still an issue even with the latest kernel 3.1.
http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=a … ress&num=1
Now, as for distros, I don't think that distro devs can conjure up anything that could reduce power consumption significantly in the userland. Secondly, I'm afraid that battery life time is such an important marketing feature when it comes to laptops that companies might want to protect/hide whatever software schemes they have, making it difficult for Linux to come par.
As a chemistry student I'm putting all my hopes on the development of more powerful batteries. :-P
EDIT: I'd like to also point out that while Archers are the first to get all the cool new kernel features, they are also going to be the first to feel the pain of kernel bugs. Does installing Debian (that I don't fancy that much myself) make a difference for you in terms of battery life?

After I updated my iTunes to 7.7, my laptop keeps playing some music

I completely have no idea what's going on with my laptop. I was so excited to update my iTunes to 7.7 and iPhone to 2.0. But after that, something weired happens. My laptop keeps playing some unknown music at regular intervals automatically. This never happened to my laptop before so I thought it may be a conflict between Windows XP SP2 and the new version of software of iTune and iPhone. Anyone gets any idea how to fix this? It is just so annoying.

hmm, windows has a lot of built in timers for things. So do other programs.
Have you looked in Task Manager at the process tab, sorting by the CPU column? That might give a clue what's causing it, if you can catch some program using CPU time right when the music starts.
I honestly don't think it's itunes, or there would be oodles of posts about that problem.
I agree, it sounds really annoying!

Laptop breaks down after new BIOS installation

Hi ,
My laptop HP 2000 - 2d11x is nearly a year old now. My problems started last month when my laptop started overheating and shutting down randomly. Now my laptop is completely unusable. I do not know what happened to it but I suspect that the incompatible BIOS installed recently in my computer caused its break down.
The first problem I had with this laptop is its overheating . I bought a usb cooling fan for it but the overheating persisted. Then, one day my laptop randomly shut down. For many days the laptop shuts down every hour or so when I use it. Then one day I took the battery out and started using the laptop without the battery. It worked continously and did not shut down but the overheating problem got worse.
Couple of days later I inserted the battery and the whole unit shut down. I tried again and again but my laptop keeps shutting every 5 seconds after I inserted the battery which is half charged. I cannot charge it properly because the laptop shuts down. It went on till my battery was out of charge and I can not use it anymore.
During this time my laptop only works when I plug it without battery.
I thought my battery was the problem so I stopped using it and asked HP Support for replacement since my laptop is still under warranty and I have no money to buy a new one. The agents I talked with in chat support, denied my requests for battery replacement. The first one promised to call me and said he talked with his supervisor about my problem. I waited for 48 hours but he didn't call or email me. The next agent I chat with remote accessed my computer and installed BIOS. I do not remember what kind of BIOS was it but all I remember is its a BIOS. The agent asked me to try and put the battery but the laptop shut down. It restarted and I waited a long time before it started. When it was finally restarted the agent and the connection was gone. My battery problem was still not solved. The third agent I talked with again asked to remote access my computer. Then he said that HP cannot replace my battery because battery shipment is prohibited by Bureau of Customs. My father bought this laptop abroad in the US and we are living in the Philippines. I was frustrated and thought I will just have to use the laptop without battery. A day later something horrible happened. My laptop did not start anymore even when I plug it with the adapter! The lights blink and goes out after 10 or so seconds when I click the start button.
Now my laptop is broken, black screen and completely unusable.
I researched a bit and realized that HP and overheating issues always went hand in hand.. I'm suspecting that the BIOS update was improperly done and the overeheating fried my motherboard. If this is the, then it's the HP technician's fault for making things worse. I hope they replace the laptop or atleast fix it. They're not taking imported laptops seriously and this really angers me because HP laptops by default come with the ITW (International Traveller's Warranty). I need your advice on what to do.

Hello armela,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand your system was overheating and shutting down, and after a BIOS update you are no longer able to start up the notebook.
Here is a great document to walk you through restoring the BIOS to the original factory version and settings: Restoring the BIOS
If that does not resolve the issue, here is a good place to start troubleshooting startup problems (choose which link best represents your issue):
Computer Does Not Start and the LEDs Blink or the Computer Beeps
Troubleshooting Black Screen Displays with No Error Messages During Startup or Boot
Once you are able to get the system to boot, you may want to take a look at this document to troubleshoot the overheating issue, so we can prevent this from happening again: Reducing Heat Inside the PC to Prevent Overheating
If you are still experiencing problems take a look at our Global Warranty and FAQs. You will want to contact support in the region which you are currently located, in this case, the Philippines. You can reach them by phone at this number: 1-800-88-8588 - Mon-Fri 08:30 - 17:30 (excl PH)
