Space Saving Questions

1. What are the Xcode Tools, and is it okay to delete them?
2. Is it okay to delete my home directory, and still have all my applications, documents, movies, music, and pictures?
3. What fonts can I safely remove?
Thanks for helping a new Mac user.

Hi,
I'm not really a new Mac user cos I got my ibook somewhere ard less than a yr ago but I have mostly used it for simple activities. I'm no IT expert and recently I wanna utitlise it but there's this one problem that I noticed. There's HD1_1 and HD2_2 right? And I understand that for to run your programmes/applications, the memory is used is from HD1_1. And there was once I tried to burn a disc but it says that there isn't enough memory space to perform that so I transferred my downloads(pics/some mp3s) to HD2_2. I just upgraded my OS to version 10.3.9 and now my HD1_1 has only 994 MB left. Is there anyway I can reclaim disc space?
Actually, I don't really know how to divide usage bet the HD1/HD2. I hope somebody is willing to help! Thanks alot.
p/s: Not making a new thread cos I think this topic is relevant!

  • Colour Space / Workflow question.

    Hi,
    I have been seconded to take photos at an up and coming family wedding.
    I will be using a Canon 300D Digital SLR, shooting in RAW, and performing post processing on a Mac using Aperture (yet to be purchased).
    I have established that my print lab works in the Adobe 1998 colour space. So, please let me know if I have the this right:
    As long as my screen is calibrated, and I work in and save my images as Adobe 1998, my prints should accurately resemble what was present on my screen?
    Is there a preference for which format (jpg, tiff, etc.) the images should be saved in for ensuring accurate print output from a pro lab ? They charge per print for RAW conversion, so I'm looking at saving finals as TIFF as the logical alternative.
    Also - can someone tell me if I should necessarily set the camera parameters to any particular colour space ? On the Canon, I have the option to set Adobe RGB, or a number of Canon pre-sets, or in fact set my own pre-sets for tone, colour saturation etc. Does this even matter if I'm shooting in RAW ?
    Any other advice on how I can ensure consistency in this workflow for this and future projects ?
    Sorry for all the questions, but many thanks,
    Paul
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   23" Cinema Display

    I took your advice and sought more info from my lab.
    They have provided me with a calibration image on CD
    as well as a print of the same to do some side by
    side comarison with my monitor. They also provided a
    colour settings file for Photoshop. Armed with all of
    this I seem to be getting closer to understanding the
    necessary adjustments (although I temporarily
    confused things by introducing my home printer into
    the equation, until I realised that this thing also
    has it's own colour settings).
    To me, it sounds like the color settings file for Photoshop is most likely the color profile data I was talking about - does it end in .icc? What are the instructions for installation?
    After you install it you can check the "Proofing Profile" dropdown in Aperture to see if you see anything like it - you'll need to restart Aperture after you install the icc profile (I think).
    You can import the image from teh CD into Aperture and try using the proofing with the color profile sent to see how close it looks.
    Basically the idea of the proofing and the profile is that by turning on on-screen proofng, you are taking the colors you have and seeing how the smaller range of color availaible in the printer will reflect what you have.. this gives you the ability to alter tones until the image you have better fits into the range of colors the printer can produce.
    I haven't purchased Aperture yet, but I presume there
    will be a way to invoke settings similar to the
    colour settings in Photoshop so that what I'm seeing
    in Aperture will be consistent ?
    Yes, sorry for the above then which will be of little use until you get Aperture - basically there is a "Proofing Profile" dropdown and a command to enable or disable "Onscreen Proofing" (which is just like CS2's "Proof Colors").
    Aperture makes use of any color profile defined in the system, so hopefully the installation instructions are for general OS X color profile installation. If it's an icc file you can install it for use with all of OS X.
    Correct me if I'm wrong, but from what you're saying
    it actually makes no difference what parameters I
    specify in my camera if I'm shooting in RAW ? This is
    good to know, as the Adobe RGB setting in the Canon
    is actually quite 'washed out' - and I'd prefer to
    keep it in one of the sRGB settings for my 'snaphot /
    home printing' needs wheh shooting jpegs. So,
    provided I export in Aperture to Adobe RGB (my lab's
    preference) and work with a calibrated screen I
    should be okay ?
    Yes, all true. I just want to make sure to note that the choice of color profile does make a difference shooting JPG as it will affect the colors that are defined in the file (and the viewing of them in a browser), but from your comment above it seems you understood that aspect.
    I calibrated my current monitor (using software only
    at this stage). Does it particulary matter which
    colour space I choose to start from, if I'm modifying
    brightness, gamma, temperature etc. to save as a
    custom profile ?
    I'm not sure here what you mean by "color space you choose to start from".
    Also for profiling even a cheap device like the Huey would probably be a lot better than the software profiling - I went that route at first as well but the hardware stuff is worth it.
    One last, slightly dumb, question. Are "Adobe RGB
    1998" and "Adobe RGB" the same thing ?
    Yep, pretty much the same thing by slightly different names.

  • Need figure for Hard Drive Space saved with FCS and LS installed

    Hello (this is my first post!)
    Have a quick question... I am planning a purchase of a 17" MBP in the very near future, and am trying to get a total GB required for my HD with the software I will be using. Basically, if the total is low enough, I can get an SSD!
    So here is my quandary. If I were to install Final Cut Studio and Logic Studio on a MBP, there is overlap in Compressor and Soundtrack Pro, and in all (?) of the audio content. If I understand the tech spec breakdown correctly, that means at least 22 GB (from the audio content breakout) of the installation is duplicate. Does anyone know the total GB (for the programs and content) that would be duplicate? I am looking for how much HD space that would be saved in this scenario. This will help me out tremendously in planning my purchase.
    Thanks!
    Dave
    PS - BTW, I am aware some folks install all of the content on a separate external disk. While I have read up on the Pros/Cons, I figure that if I were to have an SSD large enough, it would be excellent to not have to plug in an external HD since the internal speed should suffice...

    If you can, aim for a 256GB SSD, which will hold your core programs and have overhead for content (should you choose to store it there) and future expansion/growth.
    If it's a 2011 machine, then start eyeballing external drives sporting the ThunderBolt interface, which is RIDICULOUSLY fast. A bunch of products are likely to be announced at this week's National Association of Broadcasters show, and will begin shipping in the days/weeks to come. The external drive should have no problem offering you capacity and performance that you'd need for your work. I have to admit, I'm a little envious - the new 'sandy bridge' MacBook Pro with that ATI chip and the new interface look really fantastic, it's an incredible amount of power to have on the go.
    Good luck!

  • Big file saving question.

    Dear all,
    I am writing a foto ablum application in RIA.I want to save
    all the fotos in bytearray,and then save it as a file in user's
    computer,so that the user can open their file to retouch without
    downloading or uploading.
    Question is that I afraid if the fotos' filesize is too
    big,it may make an error such as "out of memory".
    What should I do,please?
    Thank you!

    I hope you try to say AIR instead of RIA. (bcuz RIA means
    rich internet application = any asyn applicaiton including ajax
    etc)
    If you try to make it as a RIA application (which means it
    runs in a browser), you can not touch to client's file system so
    you need to send the data to server to make it downloadable.(any
    php script that will get the bytarray, return an image would work
    for this case)
    for the AIR case, you dont need to worry for the file size
    unless the user does not have enough space.

  • Archiving Statistics regarding space saved

    I'm doing some IDOC archiving and want to know what the column headings are under the 'Display Statistics' option.
    Currently I see columns for Disk Space, Disk Space Write, DB Space Delete etc.
    Which one is a fairly accurate display of what I have saved in terms of space within the table?
    Is it the (Write) columns or the (Delete) columns?

    Hi,
    It's the DB space (Deleted) which tells you that this much amount of space have been freed up after you have archived the IDOCs or R/3 data.
    DB space (written) will tell you the number of objects written for archiving but not yet removed from the SAP R/3 database. The delete program tells you the accurate information as it compares the written objects wtih the saved objects on the storage system and the sap database.
    Thanks,
    Shamim

  • Basic archive space requirements question from NON DBA :)

    I am a storage admin trying to get a better understanding of RMAN.
    My question is for backuplevel.1 does RMAN require free space to write archive information or archive logs to to complete this backup? My DBA says
    "no" after I requested that he clean up the archive directory which is 100% utilized. Am I incorrect?
    I hope I have explained my question properly. I am new to RMAN and if anyone can point me to this answer either way in writing - that would be much appreciated!
    Mike

    I'm in agreeance with ORADBA, but something that comes to mind as well is that RMAN can be configured to use flash recovery area. Flash recovery area has an initilization setting that amounts to what ever space you will need in that area. The area can contain archivelogs, RMAN backups and other recovery files. Not only does the initialization space setting have to 'have enough space' for flash recovery, but also the physical space must be there. Cleaning up / controlling archive in Oracle can be fickle, and seeing it from DBA side, I'd say that if he can control it to stay within limits, he's doing well. Ta, David

  • How to put rows of spaces in questions

    I have a question about indents and tabs in Pages. To explain my question in detail, I need to start a line with a tab or a row of spaces, or even include a row of spaces in the middle of a line in my question.
    This forum helpfully edits all these out, and replaces consecutive spaces with just one space, and deletes any spaces at the beginning of the line.
    Any way to disable this feature?

  • Printing/Saving Question

    When wanting to print a form off, is there a way of downloading/only printing or saving the pages that have answers on as not all parts of the form a relevant to every person?

    Hi Nicole,
    To have the form automatically e-mail the response when the form is submitted, click the Options tab, select Email Notifications, and check the Send email notifications when submissions are received option. Further below, check the Include submitted data box. Doing this will send the form data to you, or to an e-mail address of a form co-author of your choosing.
    If your form collects data that might need to go out to many different departments depending on the options selected in the form, then you would set up your e-mail to watch for incoming mail with certain attributes and forward that message on to the correct recipient. I use this method to filter hundreds of responses to dozens of people, based on specified selections in the submitted responses. To make this work effectively, depending on your e-mail service, you might need to use an e-mail client (Apple Mail, Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird, etc.) - the server-side filters/rules might not be powerful enough if you just use a web-based e-mail interface, but you can always try it first.
    A bit tedious to set up the first time, but once it works, you can duplicate your filter/rule to create new filters for each different type of response, making just tiny edits as needed.
    So, for example, I have a form sending responses to me, and my e-mail application has the following filter (items in brackets < > are options selected when setting up the filter/rule):
         Title: Final student evaluation for Supervisor: <person's name (I customize this for each of the different people this is to go to)>
         If all of the following conditions are met:
              1. <To> <contains> <my work e-mail address>
              2. <Subject> <is equal to> <(my particular form name): Response Received>
              3. <From> <contains> <[email protected]>
              4. <Message content> <contains> <unique text that lets the filter know to whom to forward the message - this is populated by a drop-down selection, so the spelling/content is consistent>
        Perform the following actions:
              5. <Move Message> to mailbox: <appropriate folder in your e-mail account - this means the message never hits your actual inbox>
              6. <Redirect Message (or could be Forward Message)> to: <e-mail address of person who should be getting this content, based on above information>
    As I mentioned above, I then duplicate this rule, and make minor edits, for each of the different recipients who need to get responses from the form. (I change the Title, change the content from line 4 to match the new rule, and change the e-mail address in line 6 to match the new rule.)
    If you decide you want to save each response as a PDF and then remove the unneeded content:
         Go to the View Responses tab
         Find the response you wish to export
         Export the response as a PDF (by hovering your mouse over the row number, all the way to the left, and then choosing the Download Response as PDF Form... option)
         Open the exported PDF in Acrobat Pro
         Delete unneeded (blank) responses and/or pages
         Save the PDF and e-mail that to the person who needs the responses.
    This works if you only need to do this occasionally; if you need to do this for a large number of submissions, it is well worth setting up the mail rules/filters as outlined above.
    I hope this helps. Let me know if you have more questions. It looks complicated, but it's really not... you just need patience when setting it up for the first time.

  • Disk space-simple question

    This is a simple question, I think: I have an external drive (250GB) and have my iPhoto and iTune libraries over there. If I delete about half of my photos from the main library (on the desktop, G4, running 10.4.10) to free up some space, will I still have all my photos from the original main library on the external drive, and just as important, will I still be able to update the external drive as I add new photos to the main library.
    Sorry, I know this is basic stuff but I want to be sure I can free up some space but not lose any photos in the process.
    Thanks, Mike

    Hi--
    If you delete files on the computer they will still remain on the external hard drive. HOWEVER, if you are using a backup program that updates the external drive to reflect the G4 then it may erase whatever you've deleted on the G4. It depends on how the backup program is set (if you are using one).
    If you are not using a backup program and just dragging the folders over to the external drive manually then you would have to be careful not to replace the folders that you want to keep on the external drive. Say for example you have your "Pictures" folder on the external drive. If you delete a bunch of photos on your G4 and then move the "Pictures" folder from your G4 to the external drive, it will REPLACE the "Pictures" folder on the external drive.
    One way to get around this would be to make a seperate folder on your external drive EACH time you made a backup, and drop your "Pictures" folder into that.
    Does this make sense?

  • Errors upon saving question files

    Hi-
    I am hoping that someone can help me here.  This is the second time that this issue has hit me and my IT department is not able to resolve the issue.
    This is the second time that this has happened when I got to save the question file that I am currently working on.  I receive a message stating that I do not have permission to safe to that location or that the file may be locked by another user.
    I am an administrator on my laptop and I have tried saving it to my desktop and my personal drives as well as the public drives on our network.
    Has any one else ever run into this?  Is there a setting on my machine?  This only happens when I am using Captivate and specifically when I am creating/updating questions.
    I have tried file save as and saving it under a different name; get the same message.  I have tried to copy and past the questions into a new file and they are lost.  The frustration level rising when you have lost 1.5 hours of work or so.
    I have attached a screen shot of the actual message that I have received.
    If anyone has ANY suggestions or knows what I can do to try and fix this, I am all ears!
    Thanks,
    Michelle

    This problem happens fairly frequently. It will also occur if you try and delete a project you recently opened and closed. Seems the file locks have very strong hooks that do not release easily. If you keep trying to save (or delete for that matter) it will eventually go through.
    One additional note on quiz questions - I have noticed that an overly large or wordy question/answers can corrupt the file during the publish routine. The project will open, save and preview, but will not publish correctly.

  • I tried restoring deleted photos, now my i photo albums are showing blank spaces with question marks on where there should be photos!!

    Can someone help me! I tried restoring deleted photos using time machine...I know I shouldn't have fiddled! When i went back to my i photo albums some of the photos had disappeared and in the space was a grey square with a question mark in. The photo still shows in the top area but i can't put it into a space. I have i photo 08. I don't know if it is an i photo album problem or I have in some way corrupted some of my photos. When i right click on the question mark the photo appears and I can drag back to the top area, it just won't show up in the album. Any suggestions? Thanks

    Try these in order - from best option on down...
    1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
    2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. 
    3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
    To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
    In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
    Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption. 

  • Case saving question!

    Hi guys:
    what is the parameter IM_NEW_VERSION(Generate New Version of Record (X: Yes/space=default: No)) of IF_SCMG_CASE_API~SAVE.  Normally do we need to set the parameter?
    thanks and best regards
    Eric

    I have two pieces of advice:
    #1 Invest in some 80mm, 92mm. or 120mm case fan filters.  From the pics it looks like you've got a little bit of dust in there.  The filters are only like $2-$4 each at your local computer parts store (or directron.com or frozencpu.com) and you should mount them over every fan/air-intake hole in your case.  The build up of excessive dust will lead to premature fan failure, I know from experience.
    #2 As far as your question goes... measure twice, cut once .
    [EDIT] Added URLs to filter sites.

  • Space saved by truncating a table

    Hi,
    Can anyone please let me know how to check ,how much disk storage will be saved by truncating a particular table
    Thanks,
    Kr

    Assuming you intend on releasing the space, i.e. you're doing a TRUNCATE TABLE table_name DROP STORAGE rather than REUSE STORAGE, all the data in the table will be removed. So you just need to figure out how much space is allocated to the table and all its dependent objects. Assuming that you just have a table with indexes and no LOBs or other "interesting" wrinkles
    SELECT SUM(bytes)
      FROM user_segments
    WHERE segment_name = <<table_name>>
       OR segment_name IN (
          SELECT index_name
            FROM user_indexes
           WHERE table_name = <<table_name>>

  • Hi, I am looking for a printing solution for iPads in the office space, my question is how can I print from iPads and if the iPads are connected to a wifi router on a network would I be able to print from a networked printer?

    Hi
    We are looking at placing iPads in our offices but need to understand the printing options available? I have a number of questions?
    1/ Would I be able to print to a networked printer?
    2/ what would be the best WIFI Printer available for extensive printing?
    3/ Are there any other printing options available?
    Thank you in advance!

    The roll over logs all have the same name exact the extension is .lo_ , So.. I'm not sure what you are looking for.

  • I have successfully transferred my library of photos to Aperature. Do I have to keep iPhoto with the same photos in it? In other words, once I've transferred I don't want to use space saving the library in iPhoto AND Aperature.

    I am wondering if I need to keep my iPhoto program and library once I've imported all of my iPhotos to Aperature. Seems like I am using double the space. I'd rather only have Aperature rather than both programs if that makes sense

    If you have the files imported into Aperture you don't have to keep the iPhoto database. Make sure they are really imported and not only referenced. Probably it's best to keep a back up of the iphoto database some time.

Maybe you are looking for
