Whatsize not finding missing space!

I'm missing about 27GB's of space on my HD. Tried Wahtsize but after adding up what it gives me it still is missing all that space. Any other ideas to try???

No I have only one account for it. I was doing a back-up to my maxtor external and about halfway through I went to check something and noticed it in the finder. Shut the computer down a few times and tried other programs to look for the space but they all come up with the same thing.

  • Repairing database does not find missing folders stored in Library

    Has anyone successfully found a way to manipulate the iPhoto database to restore images that are missing from the iPhoto app but still stored in the iPhoto Library package? The corruption to some folders from 2007 must have happened a while ago. My backups only go back about a month so I've not been able to simply restore from a working version.
    The issue is that a number of these photos have been modified. I don't want to end up restoring multiple versions of the photos. I was happy with how it was working before the corruption and would like to simply get back to where I was before.
    Of course I've tried using the built in repair, including attempting to 'find orphaned files', with no success.
    Thanks in advance for any insight.

    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
    Just about the only option, I'm afraid.

  • Mozilla Firefox is not finding "missing plugins" when I know Adobe Reader is required for the site, specifically Blackboard for UT Austin. What is going on?

    I have the latest version of Ubuntu on an Asus laptop (netbook) with an Intel® Atom™ CPU N450 @ 1.66GHz × 2. Firefox came with Ubuntu, but for some strange reason, when I go to blackboard to view something in PDF and I try to install the missing Adobe Reader plugin, Firefox says it "can't find any suitable plugins". What is going on?

    Try opening your "package manager"/synaptic and search for "acroread"
    Install it. Try again with firefox. Also try with cromium and opera.
    One prof needed all three browsers on different sections of blackboard..nightmare.
    So you know, blackboard sucks bad for linux...you have to do a lot of work to make it work correctly if your professor uses it poorly.
    Try accessing the files like this:
    - instead of going to the "courses" tab,
    - choose "content collection" tab
    - then open "course content" folder
    - then you should see the list of documents
    Also you may have to switch back and forth with cromium/opera
    hope this helps
    -edit-
    forgot to add, the "blackboard IM" does work if you install the package "wine". You have to use an older version of the IM than the current and don't use the upgrade nag unless you're a lucky sob.

  • Software Update not finding missing loops

    I've just updated my MacBook Pro (OS X 10.6.8) from iLife 09 to iLife 11.
    In Garageband most of the loops are missing (greyed out). When I click on one I'm given the option of downloading later or now. When I choose 'now' it opens Software Update which searches for updates and tells me that all my software is up to date. If I click on a missing look again the message says that the software instrument or Apple Loop is currently being installed and that I should open Software Update for additional information.
    How do I install all the missing loops if Software Update is telling me all my programs are up to date?

    My iPhone 5s (16GB) is stuck with 3948 photos (shown on the iTunes storage bar) on and I can not find a way to delete them all! It's very annoying as it takes up 6.54 GB of space and leaves me no room to add films, music...etc on to it. Please help me!!! I have already tried the numerous articles Apple have sent my way and I am still having no luck.I'd be eternally grateful if anyone could find a solution for me as this has been a problem for almost a year. Thank you.

    If they were put there via iTunes sync process, then simply untick the Music box before syncing again.

  • Hierarchy function could not complete coz of missing space

    Hi All,
    Iam having a issue "<b>Hierarchy function could not complete because of missing space</b>" when iam expanding a hierarchy( with 37k lines) in report, rest of the hierarchies( with 34k, 36k lines) are fine.
    Even that hierarchy in question working fine after i refresh query, its giving that problem after few refreshes again.
    Can any body please advice me why this one happening like this.
    Regards
    Robyn.

    Hi,
    A couple of things I would check here :
    Try the same thing using the web and see if the behaviour is the same. This is to elimate that the excel is causing the problem. Second try to observe the system activity in both cases, when its working fine and the other when its not refreshing properly. Hierarchies do tend to take time in reporting depending on the data.
    Also check the cache settings and temp table space. You can work with basis to see if the temp table space needs to be extended.
    In addition, have multiple users try running the report and check how the hierarchy is behaving.
    Cheers,
    Kedar

  • With Adobe Flash, the image is looking for a "zoom" setting and does not find it. The result is that the imbedded image is too large for the space allowed. Is there a zoom setting for Firefox?

    When running FB game apps, the image loaded is too large for the FB space. The program looks for a "zoom" setting and does not find it. This was from the error screen. I have not been able to locate where the image zoom is located (found the font adjustment). I am new to FireFox and would like to sort this out please.
    Your installed plug in assume Shockwave Flash 10.3, but I thought it was Adobe Flash 10.3. Are they one and the same?
    Below is the warning message from the Error Console

    I'm not sure the CSS warning is relevant to Flash. Maybe adjust your overall zoom level on Facebook manually from the View menu?
    View > Zoom
    If you have the orange Firefox button, tap the Alt key to display the classic menu bar.

  • LR3 Syncronize folder finds "missing" photos that are not missing

    Having switched to LR3 I made some new catalogs and syncrnized some folders.  LR3 kept find a ton of missing photos though and I was sure they were not missing.  SO I clicked on the "show missing files" button and sure enough it just showed me hundreds of photos that were not actually missing.  I checked them by right clicking on them and using the "show in finder" option to check that they were indeed still on my disk.
    Whats happening ?  It seems to do it every time and I have tried it with several folders.  Every time it thought it found hundreds of missing photos.

    Melissa,
    I did not upgrade my catalog from LR2 to 3 , instead I started an entirely new catalog. I was hoping then to import some old LR2 catalogs into the new LR3 one but alas that plan has fallen foul of the import bug that effects importing catalogs with the same folders in them so I cant do that..... but thats all in another thread.
    I think maybe I was not clear enough becuase it sounds like you didnt quite catch my point.  My point is that the photos are not missing at all, they ares still clrearly displayed in the catalog and I can double click them and open them no problem.  I do not have to locate them at all. They are still there.  It is just lightroom saying they are not there when i sync a folder.
    So to clarify, when i syncronize,it tells me that X number of files are missing.  If I click the button to "show missing files"  all the photos that it shows, are still there.  It does not display them as missing, it displays them as normal.  Now this would not reall be a problem except that the sync default is to remove missing files.  So if you leave that option selected, LR removes a ton of files that were not missing!
    Does that make it clearer, sorry i was not so clear the first time.

  • Finding 'missing' disk space

    I have a 2008 MacBook Pro with a 325g hard drive. I want to change the current hard drive for a 240g SSD drive. Unfortunately, I can seem to get the drive down to 200g's. It is running 10.9.1 and all the photos from Lightroom5 and iPhoto have been removed. I have Office 2011 on the drive and that's about it. I can't figure out what is taking up all the disk space.
    I have 10.9.1 on a desktop and it runs off a 256g SSD that isn't half full. It has full versions of Lightroom5, Photoshop CC, and Office (although I have several hard drives for image and document storage.
    It's driving me crazy trying to identify where the disk space is. I ran Parallels at one time, but removed it and 'uninstalled' it, but I wonder if it is taking up some of the 'missing space'.
    Any strategies or techniques to find the 'missing space' is appreciated.

  • Find Missing Folder - does not work.  Please help!

    Has anyone had this problem?  This is driving me crazy.  Any time I rename or move a folder and try to use the "Find Missing Folder" option it does not show any of my hard drives!  It has been like this through several LR updates.  I kept praying the next release of lightroom would fix this, but so far no luck.

    Did you try clicking on the left menu, on the _folder_, and selecting "Update folder location"?
    You can also try "promote parent folder" to move it up the chain and find the missing drives...
    Cheers!

  • Entire drive not available when finding missing folder

    I keep my photos on an external hard drive so I can use Lightroom on my laptop and desktop computers.
    I just opened up my catalog on my desktop, and as expected all of the pictures as flagged as missing (since the desktop mounts the external drive as a different drive letter than the laptop).  I right-click on the folders and select "Find missing folder", however the dialog that comes up only allows me to select folders in my user directory on my C drive.  There is no address bar, and none of my other drive partitions or the external hard drive show up as selectable options.
    Here is an example of what I mean..

    That's an LR bug which I think only affects Windows systems, and is caused by having too many icons on your desktop (no, I'm not kidding). Workaround/fix is either clean up you desktop a little (or a lot), or you can start typing the path to the external drive in the Folder box at the bottom of the dialog box and all will be revealed.

    i recently bought a new iphone 5s from UAE , but unfortunately i did not find the facetime on my new iphone, how come that i bought a new iphone with missing options , please help

    Your earlier phone must have been originally intended for sale in another country and must have been purchased from somewhere other than an authorized Apple retailer. Phones that are intended to be sold in the UAE have FaceTime permanently disabled. The option is not there and cannot be made to work.
