TM backing up much more data size than selected...

I excluded every thing but my Users folder in the TM prefs for backup. My User folder is 29GB.
When TM begins it's 1st backup the backup size is 62GB??? Why is that?

I'm excluding because TM gives me the choice to excluded - and I don't have that much space on my Time Capsule HD, but after your explaination I would consider backing up all the folders except my Avid Media/OMFI Files.
I have a lot of data in my /Library folder because of FCP Studio (over 15GB) so thats why that's excluded.
Then exclude only those files/folders. The rest of the /Library folder is part of your OS; without it, you can't successfully restore your whole system.
Any other thoughts?
If you decide to exclude your /System and /Library folders, then you may as well exclude the hidden folders, too. Just check the +Show invisible items+ box after selecting the plus sign in TM Preferences > Options.
Back to the size discrepancy: When you go to Time Machine Preferences > Options, what shows under the list of excluded items for +Total included?+ The size of your initial backup should be close to that. It may be somewhat smaller (as TM automatically excludes most caches, system work files, trash, etc), but it shouldn't be larger.
And just where did you see the 62 gb figure? If in the "Backing Up xxx GB of 62 GB" display, that should be accurate. But if it was in the +...62 MB requested (including padding), nn GB available+ message from your logs or Time Machine Buddy, that includes about 20% for workspace TM needs, so the actual backup size would be about 52 gb.

Does LTE use more data usage than 4G?

Does LTE use more data usage than 4G?

The question makes no sense.
LTE and 4G are types of connections. They do not use Data, they allow your apps and services on the iPhone or iPad to use the Data access.
In most cases 4G is slightly slower than LTE.

Why is Modified photo smaller in data size than Original after red-eye redu

I'm using iPhoto 6 and was just about to go through and delete some unnecessary originals that are taking up lots of disk space, but then I noticed, all my originals are larger in file size than the modified images (example: Original = 1.2 MB, Modified = 872 KB).
The very minor modification that I've applied in most of these is the red-eye reduction in iPhoto.
Now why would the file sizes be smaller? And is it safe then to delete the originals? Am I losing image size, quality, data? If anything, I'd expect the modified image to be larger in size, so I'm pretty confused at this point.
I really appreciate the help anyone can offer.

Brian:
Any time a jpg file is edited and saved it goes thru some jpeg compression, often very minimal. Redeye removal removes some color data and thus reduces the file size. However, some edits like Retouch increased the file size since it changes and adds data to the file.

Websphere/Oracle 11 - much more Heap Usage than with Oracle 10

Hi all,
while testing our application with Oracle 11 (previously, we had Oracle 10), we saw that our server uses much more heap space.
It seems as it has something to do with T4CConnection/T4CPreparedStatement; there are 500 objects of T4CPreparedStatement allocated. Someone told me, that Oracle 11 is using SoftReferences to keep the connection pool; but we don't need that.
Is that correct? Could that be the problem for the increased heap space? If yes - how can we avoid connection pooling?
Thanks a lot!!

I suspect you are getting a connection for each user and holding onto it for the duration that he is logged in. Also, that you are not closing resultSet and preparedStatements correctly. Rewrite all your code to get/use/close a connection each time its needed as quickly as possible in a try/catch/finally block. There is no performance penalty opening and closing connections countless times in your code (actually, you are not really closing it, but returning it to the pool).
Here is a previous post I provided on how to get/use/close a connection:
Re: can not get the right query result using JDBC
Note: within the above example, you can pass the already open connection to another function within the above function for it to use. Within that other function, you create a new preparedStatement and resultSet. After using it, you close the resultSet and preparedStatement (in that second function), but not the connection (its closed in the outer function).

After changing from my 3S to a 5, I use much more data than before why?

My Iphone5 uses an accessive amount of data, a lot more than my 3S and I am on the internet the same amount to time.. any clues of why?

Your 5 has more than your 3S.
BTW, Nobody here can know how your iPhone is configured, so you need to supply more info for a better answer.

New Photos App take a very long time to upload 20 Pictures, while the Activity Monitor is showing much more data sent (MB) than these two pictues

The New photos app is taking a very long time to upload images. It stays a very long time at 20,104 for example. When I check the Activity Monitor (Network) it shows that the computer is actually uploading stuff. After about 2 hours, only 20 Pics&Videos are uploaded. The uploaded pics and videos are about 500MB while the data sent is around 1GB. I am positive that Photos is the only thing uploading data at the moment.
Anyone else facing this problem?

It can take days, even weeks.
Tell me 2 things and I will tell you the estimated upload time.
1 How big is your Library (in GB)
2 How fast is your upload speed.
Or you can just use the upload time calculator and do it yourself

Exported mp4 or flv has much smaller frame size than the original

Not sure if I started the project the wrong way or if I'm doing something wrong when I export.
My imported file is an mp4 29.87 fps 44,100Hz 16 bit stereo.
480x360
When I export it as an flv or mp4 the image is about the size of a postage stamp surrounded by a huge black border.
Any help would be much appreciated.
I'd rather export and flv.
Martin
P.S. I'd like the exported size to be around 390x214 or something a tad smaller than 400 wide.

Thank you Hunt for your reply.
I was an editor for 30 years (Michael Redbourn) and did some editing on Premiere a few years back for a client, but somebody set up the pre-sets and did the export for me, so as is obvious I know next to nothing about how to do either.
What is your Sequence Preset? Does it match that Source Footage?
I didn't see any preset that matched 44,100 hz
How can I check to see what my sequence preset is?
In those Export formats, what are the Presets used?
What are the settings for the Frame Size options?
In those formats, if you chose, say a DV Preset, and did not do cropping, you would get what you describe.
I tried several and certainly one of them was a DV preset, and I didn't crop.
The answers to the above questions should give others something to work with, and likely get you a solution to the issue.
I'm really just experimenting with a short sequence and to reedit it will be really simple, so if you could tell me which presets and export settings to use, I will redo the project and learn a lot at the same time.
Original clip is an mp4 29.87 fps 44,100Hz 16 bit stereo 480x360
I'd like the exported size to be around 390x214 (preferable .flv) or something a tad smaller than 400 wide.
Thanks again,
Michael

Why does Magic Mouse use much more battery power than the keyboard?

I have the Bluetooth versions of the keyboard and the Magic Mouse. I use the same rechargeable batteries in each. Yet the mouse has now come to the end of a THIRD set of AAs, while the keyboard still has 60% of its first set.
Why? They are both constantly in use, so why does the Mouse drain batteries so much faster than the keyboard? Viz: the mouse about once a week (two, max), while at this rate, it will be another month or more before the keyboard drains.

Actually I don't! I consider myself a 'power user' in that I will always use the keyboard first, and I learn keyboard shortcuts for nearly everything I do regularly.
I would guess my use is 50:50 at worst?

After restoring my phone and putting music back on it, the same music takes up much more memory

I recently had to restore my phone. I started to put the music back on it, and the files are taking up much more memory storage than before. It is the same music, though not as much as before, because it wont fit.

Hi miriamh!
I have an article here that addresses syncing with iTunes. This article can help you understand the syncing process a little more, and can be found here:
iOS: Syncing with iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386
You may want to check to make sure you are syncing the exact same amount of music as before. You can also utilize one of the options for syncing that would downgrade higher bitrate format songs to a lower bitrate so that they take up less space on your phone. That option is visible here:
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

Why is Time Machine suddenly backing up GBs of data every hour?

A year ago, I had issues with Time Machine backing up GBs of data even if nothing had happened within the previous hour. With the help of Apple my 13" Retina MacBook Pro was stripped down to nothing and a completly reloaded one application at a time. Now, almost exactly a year later, yesterday it started backing up 5 or 6 GB to my Time Capsule even though the computer was sitting unsued overnight. Niether Safari or Mail were running. I do run VMware Fusion but that has not been an issue for the past year and I have not yet updated to it's latest version.
I've tried powering the computer down and back on but to no avail.
Is it possible that the Time Machine software has become corrupted and, if so, how can I reload it?

Virtualization software such as VMware, Parallels, or VirtualBox creates a large virtual-disk container that is constantly changing, so it has to be backed up every time Time Machine runs. That will quickly fill up any backup destination.
You should exclude the virtual-disk file(s) from your Time Machine backups. To do that, click the Options button in the Time Machine preference pane. You may also be able to do it in the virtualization app's settings. Back up the files on the virtual disk from within the guest system, using a native backup application.
A compromise solution is to create a "snapshot" of the virtual machine in the virtualization software (not a Time Machine snapshot.) That will give you a single large file that never changes and only has to be backed up once. All the subsequent changes will be stored in a new file that's initially much smaller, but will grow over time. You should still exclude that file from TM backup. If you ever need to restore the VM from Time Machine, you'll have a working setup, which will make it easy for you to restore the rest of the data from within the guest system.
Another common cause of large TM snapshots is native OS X disk images. If you store a lot of data on one or more writable disk images, they should be in "sparsebundle" format, which will be backed up much more efficiently than any other format. A sparsebundle might be copied in an inconsistent state if it's backed up while the image is mounted and in the process of being written to. Make sure you unmount the image often so it can be backed up safely. Consider eliminating large read/write disk images from your workflow, if possible.

Compress and uncompress data size

Hi,
I have checked total used size from dba_segments, but I need to check compress and uncompress data size separately.
DB is 10.2.0.4.

I have checked total used size from dba_segments, but I need to check compress and uncompress data size separately.

Unless you have actually performed any BULK inserts of data then NONE of your data is compressed.
You haven't posted ANYTHING that suggests that ANY of your data might be compressed. For 10G compression will only be performed on NEW data and ONLY when that data is inserted using BULK INSERTS. See this white paper:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/options/partitioning/twp-data-compression-10gr2-0505-128172.pdf
However, data, which is modified without using bulk insertion or bulk loading techniques will not be compressed
1. Who compressed the data?
2. How was it compressed?
3. Have you actually performed any BULK INSERTS of data?
SB already gave you the answer - if data is currently 'uncompressed' it will NOT have a 'compressed size'. And if data is currently 'compressed' it will NOT have an 'uncompressed size'.
Now our management wants that how much compressed data size is and how much uncompressed data size is?
1. Did that 'management' approve the use of compression?
2. Did 'management' review the tests that were performed BEFORE compression was done? Those tests would have reported the expected compression and any expected DML performance changes that compression might cause.
The time for testing the possible benefits of compression are BEFORE you actually implement it. Shame on management if they did not do that testing already.

I haven't done an update since 24.0 because my computer is running out of memory. How much MORE memory will I need to get up to version 28.0?

I haven't done an update since 24.0 because my computer is running out of memory. How much MORE memory will I need to get up to version 28.0?
My computer is really old.
It is running out of memory.
I haven't done a firefox update since 24.0 because I think it will explode my computer.
I see that v28.0 takes 200MB.
How much more is this than what is already loaded for my v24.0?
Will it just add the extra pieces, or will it require a free block of 200MB (which my computer does not have)?
I don't want to crash and lockup my computer because I try to install something that is too big for the remaining memory.
Thanks.

You should updated to Firefox 28, Firefox updates don't take any new space they just replace the existing files.
There are some things you can do to clean up your hard drive to free up space however, http://arstechnica.com/civis/viewtopic.php?p=21178060 and http://support.microsoft.com/kb/956324, also uninstall programs you don't use anymore and delete files you don't need anymore.
You should also start saving up for a new machine, Windows XP is being dropped from support by Microsoft in a few days, which means it will no longer be safe to use on the internet.

Why does Verizion care more about $30 than keeping customers?

My wireless contract is up on July 28, 2013. I went to the store to upgrade our phones and renew our contract. I received an email congratulating me on being such a great customer and I have worked hard to earn a free phone upgrade. I go to the store, pick out our phones, the agent takes an hour to program the new phones and then tells me that we owe $150.00. I ask why - he says it's the upgrade fee. The email I received didn't mention an upgrade fee, the sales person at the store never mentioned or advised us of a $30 fee for our free upgrade until after we picked out and he programmed our new phones. When I called customer service and asked the supervisor "Is it more important to Verizon to collect the $150 upgrade fee than to keep me as a customer and earn monthly revenue from my wireless and Fios contracts?" He gave a lame long winded response that started with "everyone else is doing it" and ended with yes. So I asked him again "Is it more important to Verizon to collect the $150 upgrade fee than to keep me as a customer and earn monthly revenue from my wireless and Fios contracts?" - He said " yes. It is more important to collect the fee than keep you as our customer." I think this says it all...Verizon cares more about cares charging it's customer's extra fees than keeping us as customers. And... Verizon...is "Everyone else charges" really a good reason for you to charge? Remember when you were young asking your mom to do something and saying "Please everyone else is doing it" or getting into trouble and saying "Everyone Else is doing it"...what was the response? The response was always.."What if everyone else were jumping off a bridge?" Maybe if your customer service and sales people were less rude and you gave your customers more value for their dollar instead of more crap your long time customers would be looking elsewhere. You want loyalty from your customers...you should try giving your customers a little bit of loyalty. I will be moving our business elsewhere.

Firstly, the upgrade fee has been around since April of last year. Sorry you didn't know about it, but frankly it's old news by now.
Secondly, Verizon is actually charging you LESS than any other carrier would for an upgrade. AT&T's upgrade fee is $36, and Sprint's is all kinds of messed up and involves some sort of extra activation fee. So I wouldn't get all upset over the upgrade fee if I were you since leaving the company will cost you much more over time than just sticking with 'em.
Thirdly, there's no real excuse for how that CSR acted towards you, imho no CSR should ever tell you that their company values money more than their customers. That in particular I would file a formal complaint against that rep specifically because that behavior is inexcusable

SSRS report is consuming much more time to fetch data from DB even direct run SP takes less than a second

Hi,
we are using SQL SERVER 2008R2 X64 RTM version.
One of the SSRS report designed by developer is consuming much more time( 5 to 6 minutes ) to fetch data from DB. Even direct run of Stored Procedure (Called in report )takes less than a second to display the result set.
Please help.
Regards Naveen MSSQL DBA

Hi Naveen,
Based on my understanding, you spend a little time retrieving data with a stored procedure from database in dataset designer. However, it takes long time to run the report to display the data, right?
In Reporting Services, the total time to generate a report include TimeDataRetreval, TimeProcessing and TimeRendering. In your scenario, since you mentioned retrieving data costs a little time, you should check the table
Executionlog3 in the ReportServer database to find which section costs most of time, TimeProcessing or TimeRendering. Then you can refer to this article to optimize your report:
Troubleshooting Reports: Report Performance.
Besides, if parameters exist in the report, you should declare variables inside of the stored procedure and assign the incoming parameters to the variables. For more information, please refer to the similar thread:
Fast query runs slow in SSRS.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
Best regards,
