Using my c drive memory too quickly

My satellite a505-s6965 has went from 454 gb t 300 in 1 month. i believe it to be some back files or application data. but i am not that computer savvy. i have only installed a cad program and itunes. at this rate my computer will be full very soon.
help would be appreciated.

Eventually, 15% of your hard drive will be filled with restore points unless you do something about it.

Drive sleep too quickly - all drives, regardless of energy saver settings

i have a g5 quad which from day one has had "narcolepsy issues". all drives (boot and secondary internal sata, fw400, fw800, usb2, and esata) have a tendency to spin down very soon, resulting in SBBODs. sometime for the standard few seconds but often indefinitely resulting in "not responding" status in both the finder and drive dependent apps like final cut pro.
energy saver settings all set to never - and spin down when possible is unchecked.
boot drives have been zero level formatted 4 times now, so im dead certain its not a drive issue...
i have heard of others having this issue but have yet had anyone propose any solutions.
help! - wG

I would first try a PMU reset and nvram reset. Instructions here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300341
and here:

Secondly I would create another user account and see if the problem persists.

I want to know about time machine if i can use the hard drive that i use for time machine back up as a normal hard drive too or if it's only for time machine

I want to know about time machine if i can use the hard drive that i use for time machine back up as a normal hard drive too or if it's only for time machine
and if it yes i want to know if i have 1TB hard disk to use the 500gb for time machine and the other 500gb for normal use

thank you very much because i am considering to buy the porsche design hard disk 1TB and i want to have it for normal use and for time machine is a pitty to give 1TB for back up only again thanks and i know seperate the back and the working jobs are better but the i have to have 2 hardisks and i want only 1

I have a mac book pro with Boot Camp that also runs windows. I upgraded to Lion and somehow it crashes the mac side peridoically. I am told I need to "clean" it and reinstall lion using the recovery drive. will that delete the windows partition too??

I have a mac book pro with Boot Camp that also runs windows. I upgraded to Lion and now the mac side crashes/freezes periodically, especially iphoto. I am told by the genius' that I probably need to "clean" it and reinstall lion using the "recovery drive" which resets everything back to default and reinstalls the lion operating system. My question is will this also delete the "windows" partition drive and all that data too. If so that will be a huge pain in the ___ to back up and reinstall boot camp and windows. I want to shoot the lion.

There is no system like Acronis for the Mac platform. You can try using the buiilt in Disk Utility to create an Image of the complete Mac drive but I have found that this does not work very well as on tryiing to restore it gives errors sometimes.
You can use SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner to create a bootable Clone of your system partition. But that is only for the System partition and not the complete drive.
If you use Boot Camp to install Windows on your Mac neither of those two programs will clone the Windows side.
Neither will Disk utility as Mac's can not create or write to a NTFS partition. So some other program is need for that.

How do I change the settings in quick time player to screen record video using less hard drive space?

how do I change the settings in quick time player to use less hard drive space when performing a screen record? When I screen record a video lets say from vimeo, QTP seems to use a lot of hard drive space. Please help. Are there settings some where to adjust to slim down the video size? Thanks for your input.

I just did a short SR test, first I exported to 480p, then I saved the file. Now I have 2 files one 11.9mb (export) and the other 42.8mb (save). I then took the save file and performed an export on it to 480p. Guess what, it saved at 11.9mb. So it seemed to save me 3/4 of the space. Lets see what happens with a 17 minute SR. Thanks!
Any suggestions on getting the sound louder with the SR?
For anyone else ever seeing this post, for me the best was using an external speaker whether wired or bluetooth, facing the left side of the computer where the internal mic hole is. Good Luck!

Using Carbon Copy Cloner which is quicker firewire 800 Macbook Pro to external hard drive or Macbook Pro to same via Airport Extreme?

Using Carbon Copy Cloner which is quicker firewire 800 Macbook Pro to external hard drive or Macbook Pro to same via Airport Extreme?

Firewire 800 is the fastest and most reliable. Also it's bootable if you hold the option key down on a wired or built in keyboard. Not bootable via Airport obviously or if Filevault is used.
It's only your first clone that's usually takes the longest, it's shorter when it updates as you only do the changes which you can control to keep a pure clone if you wish.
Most commonly used backup methods

Why can't my Mac Pro use my hard drive(s)?

Ok, so I'm using a 2008 mac pro (some specifics are listed at the bottom) and I'm having trouble with my hard drive(s). The hard drive I've been using is full, and sometimes the System Information will show that is full of Audio, Movies, Photos, Apps, Backups or it's just chuck full of "Other."
But the problem is that my computer stopped using one of my hard drives a while back. It was called "Bay 5." I've opened up the computer to look at the hard drives and I actually have three. Ever since I lost Bay 5, I lost my Adobe Creative Suite and I've gotten a notification that says "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer." But the drives are the same type as the Macintosh HD, only with 500 GB each. I've clicked "Initialize" on this notification (sorry, I tried to take screen shots but suddenly my computer says "You don't have permission to save files in the location where screen shots are stored") and it pulls up the disc utility and has a drive called "Media," (but only half the time). Bay 5 is not there and neither is the other drive that's there.
Wow, that screen shot thing is new. Maybe you guys could help me with that problem, too.
I'm lost. I've looked at 15 min. long youtube videos but none of them have helped. I just want to be able to use those hard drives. I've tried holding the D key at start-up so that the computer can do the Hardware check (or whatever it's called) but it just pulls up a flashing folder with a question mark.
I'd really appreciate some help.
Processor: 2 x 2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon

Buy Carbon Copy Cloner and some new drives. Make sure you have two backup sets and are using TimeMachine as well.
Reset SMC
You have a 1,1 2006 model. It is low on memory, which is cheap at $25 2x2GB now on Amazon
Consider that drives fail and you may have some drives that are more than 4 years old.
If you want, and have the money, consider investing in Disk Warrior 4.4 or 5.0
Data Rescue 4 has a demo and would try to find files, would need a recovery drive volume of course also.
Invest in an SSD for system boot drive, $119 / 250GB, and use a WD Black 1-2TB for data $120, another for TimeMachine.
Adobe CS needs more memory that you have.
AHT is not going to help and is on the OEM DVD with 10.4.x that it came with but what you need is boot from another drive or recovery mode and use Disk Utility (and or Disk Warrior). Single User Mode and 'fsck" is also useful as would Safe Boot. But you need a working copy (clone) backup too.
I like to have a nice small "Emergency" boot drive with just the minimum for system maintenance, 20GB is fine, some users create a USB flash drive but FireWire or USB2 work well. Or just designate and create a small 20GB volume on any of your other drives.

Wiki: Using multiple hard drives, LVM & encryption

I have lately found myself with the issue of having multiple hard drives and wanting to do LVM stuff & encryption with while retaining maximum flexibility. After scanning through wikis, manpages and forum entries I came up with a solution for myself. The only thing I don't cover with it is mounting while booting as I don't need and can't test it.
I want to share the knowledge I gained and help other people find a solution faster and so I wrote a Wiki entry (first on my user page). I would now like to hear the opinion of the community regarding the following questions:
Do you see any security risks with my solution (especially the part on storing the unencrypted keyfile on a ramdisk)?
Do you think this text is worthy for a wiki entry or should I keep it in the forums?
Do you spot any errors (typing or else)?
Would you improve this article anywhere?
Of course, if you have further comments, I would like to here them as well. And now without further ado: Using multiple hard drives, LVM & encryption.
Regards,
javex
P.S.: As a small side question: Is my user page a good playground for article creation or would you recommend some other area where to do this (since here noone else could improve the article while in this early stage)?

I have a 1 TB hard drive; but I have a 500GB and 250GB usb external hard drives.
Wouldn't it be cool if I could make the two external hard drives a RAID drive and use Time Machine to use all the 750GB of external memory to do my backups???
You can, but I would +*strongly recommend against+* it. See +Concatenated RAID+ in the Help for Disk Utility.
There are several potential problems:
Depending on how much data is on your 1 TB drive, 750 GB may not be enough to back it up. See #1 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
To set up a +Concatenated RAID+ set, both drives will be erased.
When (not if) either drive fails, you'll lose all the data on both.
Both drives must be connected any time you do a backup or want to browse your backups.
Especially with USB, if one drive wakes from sleep, or spins up, quickly enough, but the other one doesn't, the backup may fail and/or your backups may be corrupted.
For now, it looks like my only solution is to go buy a bigger external hard drive and spend more money,,,
That's your best solution +*by far.+* Anything else is taking a large risk with your backups.

OS X Mavericks (10.9)- Ejecting external drives taking too long

So ever since I upgraded from 10.8.5 to the 10.9 GM any external hard disk or flash drive take too long to eject (~10 s). I'm sure it's not the drives because I've tested the same one on different Mac mini on 10.9 but it ejects within a second or two. I've tried USB 2.0, 3.0 and Thunderbolt drives. Is anyone having this issue and does anyone know how to fix it? I would rather avoid having to do a clean install. I'm using a mid 2012 MBA.

Exported fireworks loops too quickly

I've used Fireworks to create several frames holding images
and set the timings to be observed during the frames. Have tried
exporting this to animated gif, swf and png and then inserted these
resutling files into my dreamweaver page. The animation works
correctly when viewing on my C drive, but once ftp'd to my site and
viewing with a browser, the looping is too fast. No settings i've
made seems to slow down the animation. Anyone know what I might be
doing wrong?
thanks......becky

Hi Becky:
They are photographic images - and relatively large
dimensions - so GIF
may not be the best option to begin with, as GIF's reduce the
color
palette and are affected by image dimensions (bigger files).
I'm not a Flash person, but inserting jpegs into a flash
movie would
give you better quality and I would think, more control.
Both pages transistioned for me - although yes - incredibly
fast. But I
think this ahs got to do with the timeline in flash, as both
sample
pages are flash movies. I do not know if any frame delay
settigns you
use in an animated GIF file will be directly read or
understood by Flash.
If you want to stick with GIFS, also check to make sure that
ALL the
frames are selected before you input the timing. It's
possible that you
only applied the frame delay to one frame, rather than all of
them.
If a slide show is what you're looking for, have you tried
out Alan
Musselman's Fireworks Album Creator extension?

Hope this helps!

My video playback out...every video shakes/flashes/doesn't play right. What's wrong? I thought the hard drive was too full, but I just deleted 125gigs, rebooted and it still flashes and doesn't play videos. This is true for youtube, ads, foxnews videos...

My video playback out...every video shakes/flashes/doesn't play right. What's wrong? I thought the hard drive was too full, but I just deleted 125gigs, rebooted and it still flashes and doesn't play videos. This is true for youtube, ads, foxnews videos...

Update: The iBook can play any 480p video and higher if I encode them with DivX and in AVI format. But of course this is not compatible with my iPhone 4. At least I can shrink my library now and get away from the full MPEG-2s. I don't get why I can't use Apple's h264 though. There has to be a setting I am missing. The sample Apple h264 videos from the days of Tiger worked flawlessly on my iBook when it was new so the CPU must be capable of decoding it. I really can't understand this.
Also, since I made my videos in English for my family, I had to create soft subtitles for my wife's Chinese family, and I can't get players like QT with perian or MPlayerX to sync them properly to an AVI encoded with DivX, they only sync well with the iPhone 4 m4v/mp4 formatted files I made. This is a real pickle.
So now I may need three or four copies of each video, LOL. I need to hardcode the subtitles if I want to use AVI to playback on older machines, and keep the mp4 file for the iDevices too, while keeping higher quality h264 videos for my American relatives...
If h264 is compatible with my iBook, what is the proper encoding settings? Must I dramatically lower the settings or frame rate? I can settle on 2 copies of each video that way. One iBook/G4/eMac compatible video that syncs correctly with my srt soft subs, and another version that works well with my iPhone 4 and iPad.
All in all, I will end up with more than 3 or 4 version of each video. On my late G5 dual core I have the full 720-1080p uncompressed master files. On my i5 iMac I have the h264 compressed versions for distribution, and lower versions for my iDevices. Now I need to keep either full MPEG-2 files for the iBook to play, or convert to older formats like DivX AVI for our family's legacy machines. I am running out of hard disk space quick now, LOL.
Is there an easier way?

Can I use an external drive for Time Machine and storing other data?

At the moment I have one external drive, a 500gb LaCie. My internal drive is 160gb. I don't think I'll be using all 500 of those gigabytes for a while, so I want to put them to good use. Can I make a partition on this drive and use that for Time Machine, leaving the rest of the drive for my documents and other files? If so, how would I partition the drive? I'm not fluent in Disk Utility and even though I'm pretty sure I know how to do it, I don't want to screw up. Also, how big a partition would you recommend?
While we're here, I have a second question, somewhat relevant to the first. Could I move my Time Machine backups to a second drive if I wanted to? Also, if I used a big drive (say 1tb) could I use Time Machine to backup my current LaCie to a partition on that drive? Thanks in advance.

Does that also mean that I could back them both up on a very big drive?
Yes. Time Machine will, by default, back up all of your external drives unless you specifically exclude them.
Also, will Time Machine backups eat all my space after a lot of usage?
It depends on what you do on your Mac. If you work often with very large files (video editing, heavy photo editing, big disk images, Microsoft Entourage data file, Parallels disk image file, etc) then your backup drive could fill up very quickly.
I use my Mac mostly for e-mail, web browsing, iTunes, iPhoto, and the occasional iMovie project. I have 92 GB on my main hard drive (60 GB of which are my iTunes and iPhoto libraries, and one iMovie project.) My Time Machine backups consume 155GB on my backup drive, and that's after using Time Machine for a full year.

HT201250 If I use Time Machine on my MacBook can I use the hard drive on the same MacBook as the back up drive ?

I want to use Time Machine but instead of using a hard drive outside of the MacBook, would I be able to use the hard drive that is in the computer?
Would I be able to use a memory stick ?

It defeats the purpose of having a backup if you keep it on the same drive. That's your safety if your drive fails.
Also, you should allow about double the space of the volume you are backing up.
EDIT: Time Machine does keep local snapshots on your drive

When using a personal dropbox account, is it possible to use the mapped drive without downloading all my dropbox files to my hard drive as well?

When using a personal (not business) dropbox account on my mac book pro, is it possible to use the mapped drive only? Currently I have dropbox mapped to my computer but it is also saving a redundant copy of the data on my hard drive. My goal is to pull, edit and save files on the mapped drive only without having a redundant back up of all my dropbox files on my computer wasting valuable storage space. Any advice out there? Thanks in advance for your help!

I don't believe that is accurate, but maybe I am missing something (I am not a Windows user).
Looking at 2 explanation of how to map a Dropbox as a drive…
http://lkeng.org/wp/?p=147
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5d8uvseVr5A
Both of those are linking to the 'local copy' of Dropbox. It is not a true 'network' drive as far as I can see (it still requires the local copy on the PC).
Another video suggests using another service to mount the Dropbox, but that is not using Dropbox anymore, it is going through Otixo…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAIpm2qmglU
Dropbox does not provide easy to use URL's to mount as a network disk so I don't think this is possible on OS X.
Dropbox's forum has this too…
https://www.dropboxforum.com/hc/communities/public/questions/202133795-How-to-ma p-dropbox-as-a-network-drive-on-Mac?loca…
You may need to examine the Windows computers carefully - if they have Dropbox installed & running then all the files are stored on the local machine in addition to the 'mapped drive'.
It looks to me like people are 'redirecting' the local copy to appear like a remote disk just so they can address that path on other machines - each PC is being setup the same. You could create aliases on OS X, but it doesn't help move files off the machine.
Hopefully someone else will contradict me, but I don't think this is how Dropbox works.
