Vault is notably smaller than Library. How to audit a vault?

Hi -
A few weeks ago I got a vault error that stated some files could not be backed up. I resolved the error, and even after updating my vault again, the vault came out about 3 gigs smaller than my main library, which is about 80 gigs.
Is that a common experience? Is there something in the main Library that the Vault does not copy, thus saving itself a notable percentage?
I have checked my Vault package contents to be sure everything looks present at the top level, but I don't know a time efficient method for auditing the contetns of a vault. However, I have seen comments here from people who seem to be auditing vaults, so could anyone who has such knowledge give some advice on that?
Thanks!

Have you accounted for differences in block size allocation for different sized hard drives? The same amount of data on two differently sized hard drives can take up different amounts of hard drive space due to size of the blocks a drive allocates for the smallest amount of data stored on a hard drive. For a few large files, the difference is likely small. For a lot of small files, it can make a big difference.

  • Vault size smaller than Library

    I have 30k referenced photos (188 gb) with a Library size of 11 gb. The Vault size is only 1.7 gb! This makes me nervous. In the past, both have been about the same size. What is happening?? thank you

    Here is more detail: I started with a 7gb Library, with about 6gb of managed files and limited referenced files. I then brought in all of my old files with Import Folder into Project, which added 28k files. After that, the Library went to 16 gb (seems large!). Next I relocated the managed files out, about 6 gb, and the Library shrunk to 10 gb. I did a new Vault store and the Vault size shrunk from the original 7 gb to 1.7gb. I can also see along side of it the Deleted files, 6gb, of those moved out.
    If I look in the Vault at a given folder (from the Import Folder into Project), its size is 313mb; the same folder in the Library is 2.2 gb. Looking at a given imported project, Library has a folder of 17mb, AP.Minis of 41mb and AP.Thumb of 76mb. The same file in the Vault has a folder of 20 mb and several little 8k things. Clearly thumbnails were generated although Preview was turned off, and tested that I could not drag thumbs out.
    Hope this helps, thanks, gib

  • How can I Copy/backup photos in iphoto to external drives smaller than iPhoto library

    How can I Copy/backup photos in iphoto to external drives smaller than iPhoto library?  I have several 128 GB SSD's that I want to use to copy/backup all my iPhoto photographs for a permanent archive due to stability...but my iPhoto library is larger than the drives (about 234 GB) so it would require two of the SSD's...how best to get the original photos onto the SSD's?  I'm running Yosemite and iPhoto 9.6...thx.

    Terrence - Can you explain what you mean by data loss?  In the iPhoto Library?  Or on the copy? 
    Larry - In what way is each photo "degraded"?  Quality?  Isn't it simply making an an exact copy, in this case a jpeg, as would happen if I dragged and dropped a different file type?  Is there another type of degradation? 
    I am working on trying to create a correct backup as well (per your instructions) but I wanted to use this as a "put in a fireproof safe" archive on very small SSD's that would never have a mechanical hard drive problem (we've lost a couple over time so aren't real confident in their staying power)...I also recognize that I I won't have newer photos in this archive group but at least it would have 98% of our photos in another off-site location...at least that's the thought...
    Thx for your input and look forward to more in your reply...

  • VAULT size is smaller than the LIBRARY

    my vault size is smaller than the aperture library.  is it saving everything?  it seems like the two should be the same size or at least close to the same size.  i regularly update my vault so that it is current with the library.  VAULT = 168 GB | LIBRARY = 262 GB

    what is the consequence if i totally turn previews off?
    The major consequence is that you will not be able to share images from your library through the media browser. So if you want to email an image for example or add an image to a document you will need to export the image first rather then be able to get the preview from the library.
    Also if you have referenced originals and the originals go off-line nothing will appear in the library. If you had previews for those images you would still see them and be able to do tasks like rate them.
    Finally some operations might appear slower as you won;t see anything on the scree until the image you are looking at is rendered. With previews while Aperture is rendering the image in the background it will display the preview.
    It is possible to selectively maintain previews for some projects and not for others. This might be a comprise position between having previews for al images and having no previews at all.

  • Exported video size smaller than original video size. How do I keep the original size?

    I exporting a video from Adobe Premiere CS6 today, and I noticed the video was about 1/2 times smaller  than the original video I put in.

I tried to change the preset to 1080p 29.97, 1080p 25, etc. and the same with 720p, and 480p, but the size only changed slightly.

  • Iphoto copy library is smaller than master

    i've migrated to aperture and have copied my iphoto library to an external disc as backup. in doing so the copied library appears smaller than the original and i fear that some files may not have copied over.  any thoughts please?

    Well it's pretty obvious that of you just copied over the Library and the size is different then something is awry, no?

  • How do I make a high-res picture SMALLER than full screen?

    I'm making a credits sequence for a friend's wedding and I'd like to make the pictures smaller than full screen so I can show text at the same time. Is this something I can do in iMovie, or am I going to have to fight with FinalCutPro? I should mention I have an older version of iMovie. Any tips on how to do this in iMovie or FinalCut would be appreciated!

    You can use the Picture in Picture feature. See here for details.

    Another way to do it would be to create your Photo in Photoshop or similar app at the size you need over a background. You can then import the JPEG into iMovie.
    You can use the Scrolling Titles in iMovie, but you might also consider using Keynote. In this demo, I created text in Keynote. Then I exported as a QuickTime Movie and then used in in iMovie with a Picture in Picture.

  • For some reason all of my forwards, and my printing come out significantly smaller than the original. Any idea how to get this back to printing the size of my screen and forwarding the size of the original mail I've received? Thanks.

    Hi. I am not technically proficient. I have somehow hit something that is making my email forwards and text to the printer way smaller than what is appearing on my screen. I have looked into everything I can think of in settings and outlook express. If you have any ideas, I would greatly appreciate them. I assume that one click and I'll be back to "normal", but can't figure out which darned click that would be.  Thanks.

    Have you checked Outlook's font preferences?  You can change to size under General Preferences>Fonts.  You can also change font sizes by using ⌘shift+

  • Rebuilding an iTunes Library: How to Do It & What to Expect

    When iTunes is performing poorly--sluggishness, weird Podcast updating behavior, etc.--and you have tried everything, the prospect arises of rebuilding the iTunes Library. Instructions are simple. The idea is that the XML Library file will inevitably be "cleaner" than the possibly corrupted ITL file which is the file that iTunes edits in managing your iTunes content, and that after rebuilding your library from the xml file, you will have a fresh, clean ITL file. So, back up your machine. Then, go to your iTunes folder and TRASH the file "iTunes ibrary.itl" in the ~/Music/Tunes Folder. Do not empty the Trash. Also, MOVE the file "iTunes Music Library.xml" to your Desktop. Then start iTunes, select Import in the File Menu and select the iTunes Music Library.xml" that is on your Desktop. It could take hours depending on the size and you can just wait until the automatic rebuild is complete. Incidentally, I strongly recommend that you also disconnect your Mac from the Internet during this entire procedure; more on that later.
    Here is the caveat in rebuilding your Library: Apple purposely does not document the ITL file and will only say that most but not all of the information is written to the XML file, a file that technically only exists so that third party applications might be able to work with the iTunes Library. So what information will be missing after you rebuild you library from the XML file? Here is what I found:
    i. Music library and playlists: Good news, this remains intact. However, if your ITL file was corrupted you will discover some funny business. For example, there may be items such as Podcasts you have converted to Music files that reappear as Podcast files. You may find that there are files that are missing or files that you know you have, but seem to be missing from the new iTunes Library. There are various utilities or iTunes plugins such as those from the Doug's Applescripts site that will automate the discovery of these and other problems. Also, alas, the Date Added for all files will be today's date and time, not the day and time from as long as 10 years ago.
    Your iDeivces (iPods, iPhones, and iPads) will see this rebult library as entirely new. Thus, you will need to decide which Playlists, Artists, etc. to manage/import into each of your iDevices as though they are brand new. Basically, this is a time consuming slog, but you will need to do it. All will be erased and reimported even though they are already on your device. Dumb but there you have it.
    Movies, TV Shows, Audiobooks, Books, and Photos: These will remain intact with the same general caveats and iDeivce reimport issues as with the Music files. Namely, you will need to decide what you want to sync anew.
    Apps: Here is something that is not included n the XML file. Fortunately, the fix is to simply drag the contents of the Mobile Applications folder into iTunes and drop it. The import will be automatic. However, there may be multiple versions of some of your apps. about which iTunes will warn you and ask for a decision. Unfortunately, the file names of the multiple version apps are not given. So, my technique is to keep the newest version and leave the older one where it is, keeping a list of all of the ones you did not import. After you are done with the import you can go to the Apps window in iTunes, find the imported versions of those files, right click the icon, and then select "Show in Finder." You will then know the file name of the kept file and by inference can identify and decide what you want to do with the other version. In may cases it turns out to be a downrev version that can be moved elsewhere. However, it could also be a version for, say, your iPhone, that does not work with your iPad. In this case, import it and keep it. I would suggest keeping all of the seemingly orphaned apps around for awhile just in case you later find you need them.
    Good news: When you connect your iDevice(s) to iTunes you will find that iTunes accepts the apps already installed on them. You need do nothing further in most cases. Wonderful.
    Podcasts: Hopefully you heeded my advice to disconnect from the Internet. Because Podcasts seem to be the most problematic of the Library. If connected to the Internet you may, for example, find that the Podcasts will begin to download episodes willy nilly and contrary to your preferred settings. You don't need this right now! So, that said, the Podcasts will be restored including Podcasts that may not currently have any current episodes in them. However, you may find that you will need to Subscribe to some podcasts even though you already had a subscription. In fact, some this having to Subscribe may persist over a few days. Just go ahead and do it of you want the subscriptions. Also, make sure that the Settings for each Podcast are as you like them. You can then connect your iDevice and set it up just as though it is new and iTunes will tediously build your new Podcast library on your iDevice just as with your Music files. Of course you will need to do this for each of your iDevices.
    One other thing to watch in connection with Podcasts is your Music section. I ended up with almost 3000 podcast episodes that were not current that were listed in my Music section but greyed out and identified as Streaming content. Rooting these out was a simple matter of selecting for "Genre" and deleting all of the genre "Streaming" from the Library. This list had nothing to do with the settings for Podcasts. It may be a bug or just one of the symptoms of corruption of my particular original ITL file. Notably, I was connected to the Internet when I rebuilt my Library and this is one of the reasons I highly recommend disconnecting before the rebuild. However, this gremlin could occur when you do reconnect. I don't know and I am not about to test for it, So watch for this or for other funny business.
    Cloud/iTunes Match stuff: If you had turned on iTunes Match I have no help for you. I have never used it. Intuitively, I suspect this could be an epic mess in the context of rebuilding your Library from the XML file. But maybe not--hopefully not!
    iPads, iPhones and the Library: In my case it appears that much of the problem with my iTunes Library file had to do with anomalies and differences betwen what my iTunes Library thought was on a device and what was actually there. Do not be surprised if you feel that you need to restore one of your iDevices. However, prior to doing so consider making an encrypted backup of your iDevice. Encrypted backups include settings and other information that could take hours to reenter and is not included on regular style backups. After a restore, you can be sure that this restoration will be the canonical status of both what is on your iDevice and what iTunes thinks is on your device. Thus you can work with this and then modify it confidently.
    Epilogue: For me, this procedure restored performance to iTunes that had been getting steadily worse for about two years. The new ITL file was about 1MB smaller than the old one. Incidentally, even though the ITL fle was modified by iTunes with most major iTunes versions, it traced its provenance back to 2004 when I got my first iPod. That is very long time and so the development of errors and weirdness is not terribly surprising.

    Because the Nano was previous synced to another comuter/iTunes library.

  • "Hard drive is smaller than the one originally installed"

    Hi, 
    Recently, a coworker installed several viruses on his 9300 elite running Windows 7 x32. After trying several things and not being able to get rid of them, I ordered the recovery disks from HP. I ran the disks, and everything appeared to work fine until the recovery finished. The PC would restart, act like it was booting into windows (windows splash screen), then go to an HP screen that would say "HP is initializing software install" or something along those lines. It would sit for a minute then give me the error "an unrecoverable error has occurred. please contact system administrator. press enter to reboot".
    I thought it might be a problem with the disks, so I ordered replacement disks. Now, as soon as I put in the supplemental disk and click "next", I get the error "hard drive is smaller than one originally installed". No hard drive has ever been replaced on the PC that I know of. I'm not sure how to fix this.

    I just got this same message--did you ever get this resolved?

  • PDF files smaller than 8K will not open in IE 6.0

    Hi,
    I am using Adobe reader 8.1.3 and IE 6.0.0.
    I have an unusual situation where only pdf files LARGER than 8k will open in the browser. Anything small than 8k will not.
    This seems to be an issue with pdf files only as I am able to open other file types that are less than 8k with no problems.
    All of the files reside on a server and are accessible via a web page.
    If I login to the hosting server directly I am able to open them just fine regardless of the file size.
    I need this to work in IE as that is the only browser that is supported. DOD site.
    Any thoughts or suggestions as how to resolve the problem.
    Thanks.

  • One website's text is smaller than another.

    I moderate a number of groups on the Yahoo! Groups platform. I currently have 6 of these open in tabs. 5 of the groups show up perfectly with the correct size text etc (set in preferences to how I want them). The 6th one, however, has the main body of the text significantly smaller than the others. I have tried zooming and that works... until I look at another group and it has made that one smaller (remember it was fine). All Yahoo! Groups have a standard setting, I have checked. The text in this one group changed suddenly while I was viewing it. I have checked the group in another browser and the text size is perfect, i.e. the same as all the others. So I think that rules out a Yahoo! issue. I may have inadvertently hit some key combination that has changed the text size for this one particular group; but I don't know what it is or how to revert back to what it was before. Help!
