"What Size" results question. How can I locate used GB not appearing on HD?

My Version Tracker "What Size" results are as follows:
/ - on disk 91.4 GB
Capacity 465 GB
Used 145 GB
Available 320 GB
71.1 GB Users
8.61 GB Applications
6.34 GB Library
2.67 GB username
1.43 GB System
I have about 30 GB of songs, 5 GB of Pictures, and 30 GB of movies. So I am confident that the "Users" total (71.1 GB) is in keeping with what I have used. (And Users, Applications, Library, username, and System all equal what is "on disk, 91.4 GB.")
What I am wondering is, how can I locate the unaccounted for 53.6 GB? (Which is 91.4 subtracted from the "Used 145 GB.")
I have been unsuccessful in finding any searches related to this subject that I can use. I found a couple about using Terminal, however, I would need step by step procedures for that.
Any ideas, articles, or threads anyone can point me to?

Hi jpwill,
First of all, always keep in mind the double standard problem that prevents from being able to make straight, simple, easy counts. See:
- (KB article # 30065) Macintosh Hard Disk: Is It Missing Space?
Then, WhatSize should be run separately from each user account, as you cannot use it to spy on the others, it doesn't take into account the others' files.
Also: some system files like VM have a fluctuating size. Quit as many apps as you can and test if several measurements give different results.
WhatSize is able to show (one user's) every folder and every file. Use its different ways to show results, and detect the "strange" sizes firstly from what should be expected.
It is very possible that a file has grown huge for some reason.
Let us know if you have a question about some particular files!

QUESTION: How can I locate all instances of a field in mult tables

Hi all.
So im just learning Oracle and I have an interesting question.
I just learned how you can query things from multiple tables by using the tablename.fieldname in the select.
My question is this. Lets say you have, oh, 100 tables and you have referenced a field like IDNUMBER in ten of the tables.
Now I want to write a query to pull the ID number from those tables but I dont remember every table I used it in.
How can you easilly find all instances of where a field is used in multiple tables? Im hoping I explained this right.

AWESOME!! THANKS!!You should be aware that this solution only works to the degree that columns are consistently named.
Consider
CREATE TABLE supplier
(supplier_id      number       not null,
supplier_name varchar2(50) not null,
contact_name      varchar2(50),
CONSTRAINT supplier_pk PRIMARY KEY (supplier_id)
CREATE TABLE purchase_order_hdr
(purchase_order_id      number not null,
   supplier_number      number not null
   CONSTRAINT fk_supplier
   FOREIGN KEY (supplier_number)
   REFERENCES supplier(supplier_id)
CREATE TABLE purchase_order_line
(po_number             number not null,
   po_line_item        number not null,
   vendor_product_code number not null,
   CONSTRAINT fk_supplier
   FOREIGN KEY (supplier_number)
   REFERENCES supplier(supplier_id)
    );So, how do you catch that supplier.supplier_id is the same as purchase_order_hdr.supplier_number or purchase_order_line.po_number is the same as purchase_order_hdr.purchase_order_id?
No, I don't have a solution, just pointing out that you may not be able to depend on a fully automated solution either. It depend on how rigorous your organization is about enforcing naming standards.

I have random excel files on my desktop that cannot be deleted. What are these and how can I trash them?

They appear as mounted DMG files.If you right click on them mdo they have an Eject entry?
Have you set the OS to Show All Files with a terminal command? If so take that off for now.
Look in your Home folder (Users/UserName) and then the Desktop subfolder under it. Do you see all these files/folders/drives?

In iPhoto most of my photos appear to have been replaced by much smaller versions. What has happened and how can I get the full size photos back?

That is either a bug in Firefox 5 or the script has a problem with Firefox 5.<br />
It works in all other Firefox versions like Firefox 3 and 4 and 6 (Aurora) and 7 (Nightly).

How can I locate photos in PSE6 now that Bridge Home is discontinued?

How can I locate photos in PSE6 now that Bridge Home is discontinued? When dragging a photo from my Desktop to the PSE6 symbol in my Dock, PSE6 informs: "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file". Thus I am compelled to open this file with hundreds of photos on my Desktop, and here it's imposssible to find it because the thumbnails are so tiny. Therefore much time is wasted in having to open them all one at a time in PSE6. I did not have this problem with my Photoshop 7.

Barbara,
Your persistence in trying to find a solution has turned out beneficial! It was in 2009, shortly after receiving my PSE6, that it informed me of Bridge Home now being discontinued. So that was what compelled me into the tedious procedure described in my original thread. Now, after having read your comment, I gave it a different try - I dragged a file with photos to the "BR". symbol in Dock, and to my surprise legible thumbnails opened in Bridge CS3 .
The message saying that Bridge Home has been discontinued is no longer there, so my thought is that PS must have added to the program in the meantime.
Thanks for your help.

What are the entities that can be re-used in different servers, SI App, SI instance? And how?

Greetings,
What are the entities that can be re-used in different servers, SI App, SI instance? And how?
e.g. can I use a deployed IQStreamable@app1 into app2?
can I use a deployed observable/app1/siInstance1/Server1 into another query/app3/siInstance3/server2?
On the presentation titled "04 – Installing, Deploying and Maintaining the SQL Server 2008 R2 StreamInsight Runtime Engine" with file name SQL10R2UPD05-DECK-04.pptx on ecn.channel9.msdn.com/o9/learn/SQL2008R2TrainingKit/Presentations/SQL10R2UPD05-DECK-04/SQL10R2UPD05-DECK-04.pptx
It is mentioned one of the deployment option is "Deployment: Standalone Server"
and it mention the following:
"Use this option for the following scenarios:
- Metadata objects need to be shared between applications
- Event Types
- Adapter Types
- Query Templates
- A data source registered with the server provides an event stream for another existing application"
Could you please provide good example that explain the above statement?
Cheers, Muhammad

First, that statement - and those materials - refer to the "legacy" StreamInsight query/adapter model. They do not refer to how things work with the Reactive model introduced in version 2.1. Specifically, it talks about Dynamic Query Composition (DQC).
You cannot use a deployed Observable in another instance of StreamInsight. You may be able to use them across applications in the same instance - off the top of my head, I'm not sure. I'm getting ready to get on a plane but will take a look at it later.
Typically, however, applications act as containers (comparable to .NET AppDomains) so I don't think that you'd be able to do this easily. That said, the code and assemblies
can be reused across multiple instances/applications. You would have separate instances of the classes involved but you would be able to reuse the query logic. That's a common use case.
Can you be more specific about your use case and what you are trying to accomplish here? It's possible that there are alternative ways to do what you are trying to do.

How can i locate the resource file in the weblogic?

hello
in struts, i can leave some parameter in a resource file (such as "Application.properties")outside of my code,and get them in the "Action" class by the "getResource" method.
in my data access tier,i still want to use such a machanism but i can't use the "getResource()" method,for example,there is a ConnectionPool class,i want to read some parameters from a resource file ("param.properties") that is under the same directory as the ConnectionPool class,the following is the code snippet:
public static void init(DataSource ds){
myself=new ConnectionPool(ds);
java.util.Properties prop=new java.util.Properties();
try{
java.io.FileInputStream fin=new java.io.FileInputStream("./param.properties");
prop.load(fin);
}catch(Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
System.out.println(prop.get("help.create"));
the "ConnectionPool" class is in the "com.jhtop.task.forum.db.util" package,the "param.properties" is in the same package (com.jhtop.task.forum.db.util),
but when i execute the program,it tell me that it can't find the file.if i use the absolute path,it works.
i wonder how can i locate the file path in the weblogic,or what's my current path,or how may i setup my work directory?
in tomcat,my current directory is bin directory,how about weblogic?
who can help me?thank you!

Is it lost or stolen?
Apple (and no one else) can not assist (with serial number or iCloud) in finding a lost or stolen iPad.
Report to police along with serial number. Change all your passwords.

I was getting support for my Office 2008 for Mac, and the support tech said my OS was very slow. I have latest update for Snow10.6.7. Question; How can I speed up my Macbook?

Hi
In the first instance, I'd use Onyx and run through its sequence of maintenance and tune up tools:
Verify, Maintenance, Cleaning.
I'd also reset the SMC and PRAM (Google them)
If that doesn't help then I'd look at System Preferences.. > Accounts > Login Items tab (not Login Options). Check what processes get started at login and decide which ones you don't want.
After that I'd use Applications/Utilities/Activity Monitor to see if any processes are using a lot of computer power or if anything else nasty might be happening.
If none of this helped then my final step would be to reinstall OS X.

IPhone shows 11.77GB taken up by "Other". What is it and how can I delete it?

iPhone 4 shows 11.77GB taken up by "other" what is it and how can i delete it?

One of the great mysteries of the Universe.
However, I can tell you that if you power cycle the phone, Other will diminish significantly in size. So it probably contains caches, app workspaces, whathaveyou. Just had close to 4GB, but after force quitting all apps and then turning it off and on, Other went down to a tad over 1GB.
