Where are the 270 GB of files that Finder, Disk Diag, and Disk Expert can't find?

Late 2008 MBP 2.8 C2D running Mavericks and 750 GB replacement WD HD. This is what I see when checking storage. Finder and disk utlitities don't see anything that big, only the files that correspond with the typed files below (Audio, Movies, etc.).
Under Mountain Lion the picture below was the same looking except the size of the yellow "Other" bar was 0.0 GB.
Given the size of the files, I think they may be from when I was saving EyeTV content on my HD. I moved everything to an external drive and manually searching for EyeTV files finds nothing.
I'm planning on migrating to 240 GD SSD soon and don't want to run into space problems.
Thanks in advance!

Can't seem to post screenshot so no attachment.

Additionally, when trouble shooting, and you disable iTunes Match on an iOS device you cannot simply re-enable it immediately. You must launch the Music app and let the content clear out before re-enabling the service.

(261936172) Q general Where are the Web Service source files?

Q <general> Where are the source files for a Web Service created
with WebLogic Workshop stored? How do I deploy the Web Service
on a different WebLogic Server? Is there a way to bundle the
Web Service project files manually to distribute them?
Is there a way to configure the directory where Workshop stores
the files?
ANSWER: (by Adam Fitzgerald, [email protected]) The .jws files are stored
in the project folder. This can be located on a local system, although by default
they are in c:\bea\wlserver700b\sample\workshop\applications. The Web Service
structure is understood by WLS 7.0 so by archiving the appropriate folder you
can transfer the Web Service in its entirety from one deployment to another.

What is the maximum number of files that Finder can display in a directory?

When displaying systems in an Active Directory domain, Finder only displays some of the systems.
I presume that Finder is treating the list of SMB/CIFS systems as if they were entries in a file directory. The number of systems that should appear in the list is around 10,000 but only about half of these are displayed in Finder.
Is there a way to increase the number of systems displayed in Finder?

Yes, I am working with a Windows Active Directory domain.
When using Finder>Network> to display systems in an Active Directory domain, it fails to display all of the systems. Is there a Finder limitation that causes this?
When the system was originally brought online, only the local systems that were members of the Active Directory domain were displayed. Over time, the number of systems that have been "discovered" has increased. The entries are maintained in ascending alphabetical order. Currently, only systems with names beginnig with A through M are listed.
This creates a bit of a problem for our Technical Publications group as all of the systems in our facility start with the letter T.
Does Finder have a limit on how many entries that it can display for a given directory?
Is the list of Active Directory systems being maintained in memory and, hence, limited by memory resources?
Is there a way to filter the list?

Where are the Adobe Story app files stored on my computer?

I can't afford to subscribe (especially to a program I already paid for), but I really need the files that I was working on in Story offlline before the subscription-only lockdown. I've already talked to tech support who said there's no way I can access the Story AIR application on my PC, but I absolutely need those files, so I will dig through XML or whatever format to get the info I need.
Please help!

Hey,
At the moment I keep getting an error saying "The application could not be installed because the installer file is damaged. Try obtaining a new installer file from the application author".
I haven't fixed this problem yet though I've tried downloading the AIR3.3 like the other discussions say, though I don't think I even had AIR3.4 on my computer and it was working fine a month or so ago. Having said that I really want the offline files from Adobe Story as well so I can keep working on them whilst I try and fix the above problem. Any help in this area would be appreciated.
Thanks

Where are the MIDI Apple Loop files stored?

Am I the only one that wonders where the MIDI files are stored for GarageBand? The ones installed by iLife, the Jam Pack additions and any custom MIDI loops I create are nowhere to be found. Spotlight doesn't show any MIDI loop name I search and I have spent an entire day scrounging through just about every folder on my Mac looking for these puppies! Does ANYONE know where these files are stored?!!?

Alright, then...
You appear to be correct, in as much as the developer specification for the Core Audio Format has provisions for a "MidiChunk". Thank you so much for at least pointing me in the right direction. I still couldn't find any explanation for this issue on the website you referred me to (and had previously visited), but I did find a small explanation in an obscure Apple Tech Document.
What I would still like to know is:
1. How do you access the MIDI data within the .caf files? I haven't found any application that will extract or access that data.
2. When I create custom MIDI sequences within GarageBand and save them to the Loop Library (e.g. a piano track named "hoity-toity-supercilious-wankersequencedeluxe"), they show up in the Loop Browser but I still can't locate the actual file anywhere on my Mac. I know I can just open up a GarageBand file in Logic and then export the MIDI file out from there. But, I would REALLY like to just be able to find the file to begin with and skip that extra stage.
If I could just find the answers to these burning questions. Oh, and (singing) if I only had a brain!
Thanks again for getting me this far!

DIsk Utility fail: Where are the "temporary back up files" ?

I was running out of space on my hard drive, so i freed up 50G by backing up and then deleting some photo and video files. I thought, like on a PC, i could run the disk utility to "erase free space" (and possible give me even more free G's) but it got stuck near the end, saying there was no longer enough disc space to continue. I deleted some more files, but it didn't help. Now my hard drive is COMPLETELY FULL (when I use inspector, it literally says "Available: Zero KB"). I think disk utility was making a temporary backup file, and that's what used up all of my free space (although I might be wrong), and sinbce it didnt finish the job, the files are still on the computer taking up unnecessary space. But now i have no idea where all of those files are! Where should they be stored? I need to free up some space ASAP! I'm a Graphic Designer, and I need this computer for work, asap.
Is there perhaps a free program that will show me a full look at my HD space, and say which files are taking up the most space, so that I can delete -or back up- accordingly? Or maybe one that will delete unnecessary cached files or something.... I'm in panic mode!
Thank you so much in advance for your time and help!

This is serious greek. Can you explain what I should do with this information, please?
Sorry, I hadn't looked at that in a while.
Open the Terminal app (in your Applications/Utilities folder). Be *very careful* with this app. It's a direct link into UNIX, the underpinnings of OSX, but without the protections of OSX.
In Terminal, the prompt looks like this: user-xxxxxx:~ <your name>$
(where <your name> is your short user name). It's followed by a non-blinking block cursor.
Copy the following after the prompt:
sudo rm -f /var/root/Library/Caches/TemporaryItems/*
and press Return. It should then ask for your Admin password (which won't be displayed). Press Return again.
There may or may not be any messages displayed; you'll know it's done when you see the prompt again.

Where are the vectors in SVG files?

A client has given me an SVG file, and swears it is vectored.
I only find one layer in Illustrator CC, and it's a bitmap. Am I missing something?

You can open it up in a decent text editor and look at it. Look at a known good SVG that is vector and compare the type of information in the files. If you don't have a known good SVG, Wikipedia uses a lot of SVG files for their illustrations (like flags, etc). If you are using Windows, you could try downloading and installing InkScape, it's what a lot of people who create SVG files use.
Otherwise, consider uploading it to dropbox or the like and post a link.

Where are the Garage Band Jam Pack Files Stored?

Hi all. I am new to mac's so feel a bit lost.
I just installed the Rhythm Section Jam Pack to use with GB. They are supposed to be AIF Files (according to the box). I looked in HD>Library>Audio>Apple Loops and all I found was .caf files. I have a new white macbook with iLife 09. Are the above mentioned .caf files the ones that came with iLife 09? Are the AIFF Jam Pack files that I installed from the disk stored somewhere else?
Many Thanks

Upgraded to Lion - where are the Library & Application Support folders ?

Where are the Library & Application Support folders that were available in Leopard 10.5.8 ?

They're in the same location as before, but you need to use a method such as choosing Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu and providing ~/Library/Application Support/ as the path.

Where are the official microsoft ISO's for windows 10 preview?

Hi All,
Where are the official Microsoft ISO's for Windows 10, 10051 and 10056 preview? They are all over the web, but I don't trust them unless they comes from Microsoft itself.
Many thanks,

To ToddAndMargo,
RE : Is there a way to manually go to Windows Updates and manually download a particular file
No. All updates will be downloaded and installed automatically. You don't get to choose which to install and which to decline.
RE : And I can't find 10049's ISO either (from Microsoft).
As of now, the only most current ISO available is for build 10041. Build 10049 ISO is not yet available.
When build 10049 is released from Slow ring, usually it is also the time its ISO will be released.
RE: ESD file. How?
One cannot download an esd file of build 10049 from Windows Update.
You download and install the entire build 10049 via Windows Update. When it is done, you can then find its Installed.esd file from RecoveryImage folder and use it to manually create an ISO fie. You will need a specific program to create an ISO from Esd.
You might ask " why do I need an ISO fie if the operating system is already installed ?"
Some users are advocates of "clean install". They prefer clean install over upgrade install. Clean install can be done by burning the ISO file into a bootable DVD or an USB with at least 4 GB capacity and use it to install.
You can also use the same media and install in another compatible computer.
It can also serve as an emergency backup incase you need to reinstall.
