Where is all my Gb?
Hello.
Im having problems with the space on my Macbook (1.g Intel Macbook, 80gb Hdd).
I have quite a lot in my Itunes (Music, Videos and Podcasts, all about 30Gb). The program folder is around the 2-3Gb, and so is the Pictures!
What i can't figure out is, where is all the other Gb's?, so i can clean up in my HDD and get some more room (got 500mb!)
Please help.
Kind Regards
Mathias Brix
Download Grand Perspective(http://grandperspectiv.sourceforge.net/) and run it. That should give you a good idea of where your space is. Also OS X has a multi GB footprint. Right (Control-) click on your HD icon and click Get Info. How much space is left?
Hope that helps.

Hello, didnt really know hwere to post this guess it more belong under like "computers" generally,
but! For a while...
(-THE LONGER VERSION) :
No whait!, let me start where it all began, 2009, a december (erhh.. iii think? Hwatever!) litlle me hwere nearly Totally blank to the computer world. And suddenly it stood there on the table, a shining (it was shining back there) new "hp pavillion entertainment pc" with its smell of fresh plastic mixed hwith the strong smell from the cardboardbox, remember it as if it were yesterday
... Since then.... I have today a good solid pc knowing! (at more advance level cmd,bott menu, recovery, blah, blah... NERD!) here at the last awhile, ive prommised to make a lot! A lot of video projects!
(okay 2, but some big ones!) avchd multilayer 2 hours!!!!
So the poor hp laptop -dual core i2 4gb ram, has been begged to it knees! And simply cant handle it of course! and it have just trough time benn loaded with lots of crap, and is extremly noisy, heat, slow, anoying = unusable!
SO hwat i need is...
(-THE SHORTER) :
A computer setup that will EASILY! could handle stuff like that (avchd, multilayer, 2 hours project) -and simmilar. A total power machine! But Im tired of windows! And ugly cheap looking design! The times have changed and i change with them!
NOW I WANT APPLE!!
But but but... Hwat should i get????
1. Im NOT a billionare!
2. I repeat: NOT a billionare!
3. I also need portability for every day use beyond the hardcore creative editing and use
AT LAST:
i saw in front of me this genius plan... With a macbook pro, a tuned one, with as much of ram,cpu,gpu, and everything else as it can posibble have
-the perfect combination of transportabillity, everydayuse and total power!
When it gets combine with,
A cinemadisplay
A extra keyboard
And a extra magic mouse
And this power macbook pro, with screen, mouse, and keyboard i've found a really good offer at.
MY ACTUAL QUESTION.... :
Now it is yours turn to please! be creative! Please! Hwat does all you genius heads! think and say?
WILL A super tuned MACBBOK PRO COMBINED WITH ACCESSORIES, AT ALL, BE ABLE TO REPLACE A STRONG MAC PRO, OR AT LEAST BE MORE THAN ENOUGH FOR REALLY HEAVY STUFF? And if yes, HOW strong actually (ram,cpu,gpu...) will it need to have to be "more than enough"?
If no, what would all of you then suggest that is perfect in relation to everything?

No,
the MacPro is the muscle machine and not constrained by power or cooling limitations like the MacBoo Pro is.
OR AT LEAST BE MORE THAN ENOUGH FOR REALLY HEAVY STUFF?
If you press the MacBook Pro like a desktop machine, it will blow fans like a hurricane but will do the job eventually.
The longer you blow fans on a laptop, the sooner it clogs up with crippling dust and shortens the life of the machine.
You'll need the top end 15" or better, not the 13" as it has no dedicated graphics, only CPU graphics.
Preferably if you just now getting into video, you should be considering Avid on a Windows 7 tower, it's because Apple has been ignoring the MacPro for hardware updates to improve it and it seems like they don't want to carry it anymore. Also the last Final Cut Pro version had Hollywood up in arms as Apple removed a lot of required abilities to make it more "consumer friendly" which upset the Pro market who likes control.
Apple is focusing on the consumer computing market and getting away from the "Pro" market which needs the heavier hardware to handle video needs. They stopped selling the X-RAID and the X-Server, so Apple really isn't a "computer" company any longer.
Sure you can use a MacBook Pro and a external monitor for doing home movies and such occasionally, but if your into serious production you need to consdier other options now.
There is nothing wrong in getting a MacBook Air and a Windows 7 professional video tower too. -

I no longer see all of my songs/CD's in the iTunes window that are on my iPad. I am afraid to upgrade. Where are all of the titles that are on my iPad when I sync my iPad with my computer? The iTunes window used to show everything.

Where are all the print settings for my HP Officejet 5510 in Mac OS X 10.8.2?? I only have Fast, Fast B & W, and Best. I want Normal so that it looks good but doesn't print so slowly. Help.
Hi,
Change the print settings manually by clicking the lowest drop-down within the print dialog (e.g. the application name, Copies & Pages within MSOffice.
Select Type/Quality and set the print quality as Normal.
You may seve the settings as a Preset from the Presets drop-down menu.

I got my iPhone 4s screen fixed, now in my Photos it shows nothing, although in my memory usage it shows 10.5gb of photos, thats 2000 photos not showing up. What happened?! Where did all my photos go?!
WOOHOO!!! i finaly fixed the problem. Here is what to do:
Chances are if you did the same thing as me you either have
A) No album names at all for ALL your songs in your library
or
B) Have the same name for every album for ALL your songs in your library.
Here is how to fix it (yah it will take a little work but its worth getting your iPod functioning properly).
Unless you dont want to have to go and actualy set al lthe album names for every song here is what you can do:
Go through to iTunes and arange your songs by Artist name. Click the top song for your first artist, hold Shift and click the last song for that same artist (to multi select all the songs for the artist) go into get info and check the Album box. Copy the name of the artist to the Album box and hit ok.
Now when u update your ipod and go into ur Artists section the actual Artist name should show up instead of the song names.
For some reason having the same album name for all your songs messes up the organization of the iPod.
Hope this helps anyone else that is having the same problem -
Where are all of my photo albums?
I just updated my computer & found that Iphoto is now gone & that Photos has replaced it. Where are all of my photo albums that I spent so much time organizing in Iphoto now? I can't find them anywhere in Photos. It's a very badly, designed system!
Hi Eric,
Thank you for taking the time to respond.
I have a time capsule doing automatic backups on my iMac. I would not know which date to restore from as I just happened to notice the missing mail when I went to look for one of the old messages.
I tried your suggestion of checking the Mail/V2 files in finder, but it did not work. There are messages there, but they too only go back a year.
If you have any other suggestions, please let me know. -
I authorized and dled ITUNES to the new pc. Well i would like to know where is all my songs i purchased? I want to hear them on this pc, i bought them so where are they and how do i get them on here so i can buy new songs and make new playlists?
They will only be where you put them. They do not magically appear in new places.
Have you copied them from your old computer to your new one? -
I opened iPhoto and it opened as if I just bought the computer. Where are all my photos and how do I get them back? Luckily for the most part, I backed up photos on my flash drive, but I had just imported dozens of pictures from my phone. I reopen iPhoto soon after and the prompt asking how I would like to start iPhoto and all came up. I selected what brought me to the iPhoto I open up to every day only without any pictures.
Are you in the correct account that contains the iPhoto Library?
Did you ever move your iPhoto Library to an external drive? If so, and you disconnect this drive, iPhoto will create a new blank one in the pictures folder.
Check your computer to see if the "iPhoto Library" was accidently moved to the trash.
If you still can't locate your images, launch finder, and select "all images" in the source column. This will display all images on your computer. Be carefull not to delete, move or modify the images you see in this manner, as it will cause issues with good iPhoto Libraries, however it may help us locate where the images are.
Once you locate an image, click it once, then in the top menu bar, select "view / show path". This will display it's location along the bottom of the finder window.
Once you know where the image is, this should help you launch iPhoto to the correct library. -

Where are all my pics from my iphone that are suppose to have been backed up in icloud
where are all my pics from my iphone that was suppose to be backed up to icloud?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
The difficulty in restoring iCloud data from a back up is that the back up is older than the current version on iCloud and anything that is restored gets removed again when an iCloud sync occurs.
Ensure the device is connected to your local network.
Start the restore from iCloud back up.
Allow the devices settings to restore (watch for the confirmation of completion).
As the apps begin to restore pull the connection to your router WAN port (the one that goes to the telephone point).
Wait for the time out confirmation.
Navigate to settings > iCloud and turn off contact syncing (keep contacts when prompted).
Reconnect the router to the internet and let the restore process complete.
Delete any iCloud contacts from iCloud.com on a computer.
Navigate to settings > iCloud and turn on contact syncing (merge contacts when prompted).
May I suggest that you carry out a back up to iTunes before you try anything, that way should things become even worse, you can at least restore back to where you are now. -
