Total space free on my mac does not conincide with my user profile

ok, macbook pro, 2009 intel core 2 duo, 2009. I migrated my wife's profile from a time machine back up, gave her admin rights (because i uggraded) then deleted my old profile off the mac, making this her computer now. Her profile when i click get info shows 40gb total. But when i do the math, 319 total hardrive - 157gb avaialbe = 162gb (rough). My question is where is the other 122gb used? Did i do something wrong because I did not fully understand how to restore my old mac to factory settings then load her info from the time machine. Thanks in advace for everyones help.

  • Why iCloud on my mac does not sync with my iPhone

    Hey Guys/Gals
    How come my mac does not sync with my iOS device.... When I send messages from my messages app on my mac it shows on my iPhone aswel... When someone trying to facetime me it will ring both my facetime on my mac and iPhone... Since this morning after the iCloud ****** up... My devices aren't syncing... Need  help...

    I believe this was stopped in a recent iTunes update to "force" users to sync the calendar on the Mac and the iDevice to iCloud.

  • Free space of mdf and ldf does not match with database free space

    In SSMS i saw file size related properties and found below details for one database.Here values does not match with other properties. Here size of the mdf, ldf and total size matches with other values under each window. But Available free space of mdf and ldf
    if added then it does not equal to Available free space shown in shrink database window and free space shown in database properties. This is true for any database. Why is it so? Please can anyone explain the logic behind this?
    Under database properties:
    Size: 91.31 MB
    Space available:13.40 MB
    Under database file properites:
    mdf size:17 MB
    ldf size:75 MB
    under shrink database:
    currently allocated size:91.31 MB
    Available free space:13.40 MB
    under shrink file-for data file:
    currently allocated size:16.38 MB
    Available free space:12.63 MB
    under shrink file-for log file:
    currently allocated size:74.94 MB
    Available free space:55.62 MB

    Hi,
    Database properties and database shrink show the total (log+data) values. Others show the individual sizes, log and data separately. 
    I hope it helps.

    This does not answer my question. If you add allocated space of mdf and ldf it equals to database allocated size.But i am asking why this ldf and mdf free space together(when added 55.62+12.63 ) does not equal to database free space?

  • Table or view does not exist with new user

    I am having trouble getting a new user to be able to access the tables in the database. I have created a user just like normal and given it all the privileges i would normally give it. It is the only user other than the original that created all the tables. Every time i go to select from a table i get the error table or view does not exist.
    Am i missing something? It is Oracle 10.1.0.2 and i have never had this problem with earlier versions.

    You will always need to qualify the table name with schema name if you are accessing a table of some other schema except in a case that you have created a public synonym (with the same name as table). Suppose there is table table1 in schema schema1 and you are accessing it from schema2.
    You will need to write schema1.table1 but if you create a public synonym
    create public synonym table1 for schema1.table1;then you can directly write
    select * from table1;Sidhu

  • Flash Player does not work with Standard User, but will work when browser is "Run as Administrator"

    I don't understand why this is happening, but Flash Player will not work when a Standard User is using the browser. It will only work when the browser is run as an administrator. Any way to fix this? I've tried to uninstall, and reinstall the player, and it still wouldn't work.
    The user is on Windows 7, 64-bit. Using IE 10.
    Flash not working for Standard User - YouTube

    Any update to provide at all here guys?  Again, in my situation, it's very much rights-related as a standard user doesn't even report that the flash player exists when testing it on the Adobe Flash Version Detection website (despite it showing up in Control Panel and under Add/Remove Programs).  I've already tried giving the C:\Windows\System32\Macromed and files/subfolders appropriate permissions for the standard user and still nothing.  If I either give the user in question full local admin rights or logon as the domain admin, then the Adobe Flash Version Detection website says Flash is installed and Flash works fine.
    Thoughts???

  • Windows 7 Themes will not Roam with Roaming User Profiles

    Hi,
    If I install a theme pack from the Microsoft Personalization website, it will install on the PC I am currently using. However, if I log onto another PC, the theme will not roam. I mean the wallpaper collection, the sounds, the screensaver, and the window
    color. I am using a GPO to delete user profile on logoff, and I am using folder redirection.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi,
    Could you please tell more details about the GPO which was set to delete user profile on logoff? Are we in a domain environment?
    Before going further, please run gpresult /v on a command line with the admin rights and then post back the result.
    If I understand rightly, the user logged on with a newly created profile every time as there is no user profile settings(deleted every time on logoff) for the user to load.
    As the user profile settings is deleted, any changes made are no more available.
    Best regards

  • .mac does not work with domain name

    I used Iweb 08 to host my domain name from godaddy.com.
    Godaddy account is: http://www.eyalphotography.com/
    .mac web page is: http://web.mac.com/enahmias
    I published to .Mac and went through the personal domain name procedure (using .Mac account settings and godaddy CNAME) so now .Mac is my host and I don't upload anything to godaddy. Updates are made to .Mac. but even after 4 days when trying to go to http://www.eyalphotography.com/ I still get this message: “Safari can’t open the page “http://www.eyalphotography.com/” because it can’t find the server “www.eyalphotography.com”. If I go to http://web.mac.com/enahmias no problems.
    I want my page updated to http://www.eyalphotography.com/ that is the whole point of doing the cname and forwarding my domain. People should just go www.eyalphotography.com and done.. not web.mac.com/eyalphotography etc.. it beats the purpose of this thing.
    So any solutions why it’s not working?

    Here is a step by step on how it finally worked for me.
    1. From Iweb choose domain name
    2. when logged to .mac click on domain name
    3. If you have any troubled name there just remove it.
    4. Create a new domain name and follow instructions until it says to go to your domain registrar and continue later
    5. Log to godaddy.com
    6. Under the Domains menu click on My domain names
    7. Click on your domain name that you want to change cname for .mac
    8. On the top third of the page in the middle click on Total DNS Control and MX Records
    9. On the page that opens in the cnames section click on the Reset to default setting
    10. Wait a few minutes, and then refresh the page. Then on the same section under www. click on the pencil icon to edit the cname
    11. Leave www. alone and on the next line type: web.mac.com and ok the changes.
    12. Log out of godaddy
    13. Return to the .mac domain name dialogue box and finish according to the prompts.
    14. Go back to iweb and republish ALL to .mac
    15. In my case it took only a few hours and after 2 weeks of frustration it worked as magic.
    Good luck

  • Ibooks on mac does not sync with ibooks ios

    i have about 50 books, not all bought, showing in my ibooks on mac. However on my iphone i have only about six. I have followed the instrucitons to check Show All Purchases but as the items were not all purchased via ibooks i am wondering if iOS ibooks only shows items purchased via the store..
    Thanks for any ideas

    I found a solution that worked for me.
    I had books that were not purchased from iTunes and some that were  in my iPhone iBooks and they were not in iBooks on my macbookair.
    I went into itunes -  then File / Devices  - select Transfer purchases from iPhone.
    voila after restarting iBooks  they appeared on my Macbookair.
    hope that helps others.

  • ITunes does not launch with new User Account (Vista)

    One of my limited user accounts on Windows Vista because corrupt, so I created a new limited User Account and copied ALL of the files from the old to new.
    Now, when I try to launch itunes on the new user account, it will not open at all. Itunes works on my administrative account, with no problem.
    Can someone tell me the most pain-free way to resolve this issue. And, whatever solution, will I be at risk of losing my itunes libraries?
    Thank you in advance.

    Hiya. Delayed again. Browsers being cranky. (I blame the aftershocks.)
    It's actually plausible that it was installed in there (by doing a run as administrator on the installer itunes64setup.exe, perhaps). Because that suggests a possible cause for these continual permissions-related problems.
    A lot of what you're seeing is consistent with damaged ACLs (access control lists) on files, folders and registry keys. Although it's a lot rarer than it used to be, one of the ways you could get borked ACLs was if a program (like iTunes or QuickTime) was installed in one user account, and then the user account it had been installed in was deleted (or otherwise rendered unusable).
    We don't know which particular permissions are stuffed up here. But there's a shotgun approach to fixing them which used to work okay, although it's a bit fiddlier to do on a 64-bit system than a 32-bit system.
    I'd strongly recommend setting up a system restore point prior to doing this, so you can revert if things turn to custard.
    The basic technique you follow is from the following blog entry *with one important modification.*
    [Solving setup errors by using the SubInACL tool to repair file and registry permissions|http://blogs.msdn.com/b/astebner/archive/2006/09/04/solving-setup-e rrors-by-using-the-subinacl-tool-to-repair-file-and-registry-permissions.aspx]
    The modification is that when you're editing the file to replace YOURUSERNAME with the name of the account, edit the first line so that %ProgramFiles% instead says %ProgramFiles(x86)% and after the line that reads:
    *subinacl /subdirectories %programfiles%\ /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f /grant=users=e >> %temp%\subinacl_output.txt*
    ... add another line saying:
    *subinacl /subdirectories %programfiles(x86)%\ /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f /grant=users=e >> %temp%\subinacl_output.txt*
    (The first is to make sure the commands see the subinacl, because it installs in \Program Files (x86)\ on 64-bit systems, and the second alteration is to make sure that the permissions for the 32-bit program files are fixed too.
    After doing that (it'll take a while to run), can itunes launch normally in the new account?

  • Playlist on Itunes does not conincide with playlist on Ipod

    I made a playlist on my itunes and the playlist shows up on my ipod but not the correct songs. I tried to delete and create a new playlist with the same songs but still the same thing happens. Is there anyone that can help me in determining why this is happening? The songs are in cues but on my playlist on itunes itself are full songs. HELP!!!!

    yes thats exactly right they play correctly and are all there correctly when i go to sync the music they are in cues. I have tried erasing it on my ipod and starting over again and it keeps doing it. Everything is correct on Itunes but on the Ipod it isn't.
