Where is the HD space gone?

I'm trying to clean up my HD. The info says there is 49.8 GB used, 5.8 GB free. However, when I look at the folders on the HD it is as follows
Applications 4.8GB
Library 9.5GB
System 1.9GB
Users 22.1GB
====
Total 38.3GB
Where is the remaining 49.8-38.3=11.5GB used!?

Thanks, yes, I noticed just after posting. I found around 2GB used (swap etc), but still some way to go to 11.5 GB.

Where has the preview panel gone is Bridge CS5?

Today when I opened up Bridge, the preview panel on the right hand side has disappeared. It shows as being selected when I go to the Window Menu but it isn't there. The scroll bar is also missing so I can't view all of the thumbnails. Does anyone have any ideas about why this has happened and how I can return it to it's normal format? Thanks, Michelle.

Fantastic. Thank you, much appreciated

No, but you can choose Reset Workspace from the workspace menu to get it back to normal.

Where has the visualizer button gone?

where has the visualizer button gone in the bottom right corner?
bit of a pain as i used it quite often

iTunes 7 is pretty smart overall, nevertheless I have a few serious gripes with the interface. Firstly the little 'snowflake' icon on the bottom right that switches on the visuals has been replaced by the browse and burn icons. Was there a problem with the previous layout? My wife and I use that button everytime we turn on the visuals on our Mac Mini sound system in the living room. It was super convenient because you could move in a single mouse sweep from selecting a playlist to switching on visuals. With iTunes 7 you have to either select from the pop-down menu or switch to the keyboard and press cmd+T. It might not seem such a big deal to some but it's definitely a backwards step, no matter how small.
The album art selector/display is very cool and niftily programmed however I'll never use it. The reason? Because if you fill it with album artwork, all those images are displayed over the visualiser at the start of each tune, which I HATE. I don't want sleeve designs ruining the beauty of G-Force which I paid good money to see. It's bad enough having the track info show when I already know what's playing! iTunes 7 is simply not configurable enough if you ask me, and hey, you shouldn't have to start configuring Fkeys to make up for the fundemental lack of choice in the program preferences.
I have a pal who loves the gapless playback in the new iTunes 7 because it's great for mix cds. Well maybe that's the best playback feature of iTunes 7 but I'm afraid it doesn't make up for the loss of the visualiser button, so there!

Where has my harddrive space gone?

I will soon be getting a new MacBook with a solid state harddrive. It will likely be smaller than the 500GB drive I use now, so I am calculating what size I need. I can do without some of my own files (under "Users"), but I imagine I need everything else. However, the math just isn't adding up. My folders on the HD are as follows:
apps 12.8 GB
library 12.47 GB
system 4.45 GB
total non-user files = 29.72 GB
My "users" folder is 236.39 GB
grand total = 266.11 GB used.
However, under "info" after ctrl-clicking the HD, it says I am using 406.75 GB! (unused = 58.69, capacity = 465.44.)
What am I missing? Is this missing data hidden but essential and needing to be factored in to my new HD?

Check your hard drive space again using one of the following...
OmniDiskSweeper is a free utility that checks HD space.
FreeSpace cost $1 or is a free utility that checks HD space.
SpaceControl is a free utility that checks HD space.
FreeSpace cost $.99 - FreeSpace shows you how much space is available on all local, connected, and network drives with a single click.
Where did my Disk Space go?

Where has my disc space gone? ...is my Mail inbox really 25 GB?

It seemed to me that my disc was a bit full so I deleted a couple of movies and freed up 9 GB. A couple of days later, after doing a bit of word processing, I got a disc full message.
Impossible, I thought.
I did an audit of my space. Visible folders, such as users, system, library etc., accounted for 68 of the 75 GB on the disc.
Question 1: where is the other 8 GB?
Now for the real problem: During this audit I noticed that my IMAP inbox was 25 GB (located at "user:Library:Mail:mailboxes:inbox). I am guessing that this is how the 9 GB got used in two days.
No way do the messages account for 25 GB. My estimate would be 1 GB including attachments.
Any suggestions gratefully received.

HI,
*"It seemed to me that my disc was a bit full so I deleted a couple of movies and freed up 9 GB. A couple of days later, after doing a bit of word processing, I got a disc full message."*
Hopefully this is not a bad sign. Check the hard disk for errors and run the Apple Hardware Test.
Boot from your install disc and check the startup disk for errors.
Insert Install disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
*(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)*
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
Select your start up disk and click Restart
While you have the Disk Utility window open, look at the bottom of the window. *Where you see Capacity and Available. Make sure there is always 10% to 15% free disk space*
If the startup disk appears to be ok, run the Apple Hardware Test

KDE trash can, where do the files/space go?

When I first move some files to the trash can, and chose empty trashcan, I don't get any free space. So where do the files go?

Thanks
Do you know why they still are there?

Where has the iCloud icon gone in the menu bar

When iCloud where in the trial stage they had a little cloud icon top right side in the menu bar to drag and drop files to. I recentlywanted to upload docs to iCloud and noticed it had gone. I never log into iCloud from the Internet, after reading the threads, it seems this is the only way to save files to the cloud now, am I wrong?

Are you sure you aren't confusing iCloud with iWork.com? In any event, there's no menu icon. To upload iWork documents, go to http://icloud.com and go to the iWork page, pick the appropriate of the three programs, and drag the file in the Finder to the web page.

Where has the extensions exchange gone?

Where has the link to the exchange gone? It used to be available on the adobe website, but it's disappeared now, or it's not very obvious anymore!

I wanted to let you know that Adobe is working on a brand new 'Adobe Exchange'. It's been written from the ground up and delivers a completely new user and producer experience that overcomes a lot of the issues we heard from existing users and producers of the current Adobe Exchange. We also just released a new tool called the Adobe Exchange Packager which makes it easy to package up your content for the new Exchange. We plan to have a release on Labs in July but if you sign up now you may have time to get your products on the new Exchange ready for the public release.
You can learn about the new Exchange and some of the tools for creating the content and products for it on this Adobe blog:
http://blogs.adobe.com/cssdk/
You can get the new Packager and see the new Adobe Exchange by signing up for the prerelease at:

We hope to see you on the prerelease!

Where is the Swap space located

I want to install Solaris 8 on my x86 (AMD Athlon) machine. I have arrived at a point where the installer prompts for the starting cylinder of the swap space. It wants to set it to Cylinder 3.
Disk layout is as follows
1. Primary FAT32 Win98SE 5 GB
2. Ext. FAT32, beloning to Win98 2x 5GB = 10GB
3. Primary Solaris 4.7GB
As I don't want to delete my system partition (1) I want to know what cylinder I have to set. Is "3" referring to the third cylinder of the entire disk (which would surely overwrite Win98) or does it refer to cylinder 3 on partition 3 (which would be no problem)? Or should I set it manually to the starting cylinder of the solaris partition?
All dual-booters not having solaris on the first partition of the disk...what did you select??
Thanks in advance

Where have the rich colours gone?

I updated premioere pro cc last night and when I opened the program today the rich colours for objects in the timeline have gone. This is making it a lot harder to see all the different tracks. The colours are fine in the project browser just on the timeline.
Any advice?

This was an intentional change to address complaints about the colors of track items in the Timeline getting too washed out within the In/Out range.
This is the very first time that it dawned on me that not all Premiere issues and problems come thru this Forum. DOH!
I assumed that Adobe did use other ways of testing / developing FRs though. eg Edit Lab and direct feedbacks etc.
Still..interesting that no one in this Forum complained about the color of track items!
At least it explains to me where the End of Sequence Indicator came from.

Where has all my space gone????

I currently am running Jaguar on my ibook 800 G3. Recently I noticed that I have aprox. 7 gigs left on my 30gig hard drive. I have been cleaning out all the programs that I once used in college but no longer need. What I thought I would be left with was a little more than this. After leaving only OS X Jag, 1700 songs in iTunes,100 photos in iPhoto, Microsoft Office,AIM,Safari,Internet Explorer, and Netscape.I only have 7 gigs left? How much space does Jaguar take up on the hard drive?? Maybe it's right on par but it feels like it's filled up an awful lot for these basic apps.

vwgecko:
Jaguar in no way consumes the 23gigs of space on your 30gig HD. You have a right to be concerned. In order to find what is consuming your 23gigs of HD space you must approach the task methodically.
Have you tried the DIX program? This may quickly alert you to large chunks of HD space you never ever dreamed of existing. If this is the case you could have a quick soln to what's hogging you HD space.
If the mysterious space is occupied by large chunks (ie large files) it will be easy but if all this mysterious space is made up from many hundreds of small files the task will be a lot more difficult - and especially if these files aren't owned by your account. This is where Pseudo becomes useful. Using Pseudo with DIX will allow you to see ALL files on your HD. Have you tried DIX and Pseudo ?
As far as how much space does Jaguar take is a good one. My wife's iBook 10gig HD 500MHz system runs 10.3.9 and the three main folders containing the system occupies some 4.5gig. The 10gig HD has at best some 9.5gig available for use. So this leaves my wife 5gig for her data. Her home folder is about 1.5gig in size.
Do a File->Get Info on your Home folder to see what its size is. Add this to say 5gig and that should tell you something. If it doesn't add to 23gig then you have data that lays elsewhere. DIX/Pseudo should help you discover where this data is.
Is your Trash empty ?
Use Terminal.app and look into /var/tmp and /private/tmp for old files (created many months ago).
Do you allow the system to run the "cleanup" tasks such as daily, weekly and monthly ? Typically the system needs to be awake at around 3am each day for these tasks to run. Not sure about the 3am anymore as this was some time ago when I reseached this.
Another place to look although these files are in your Home folder but look into
~/Library/Caches for Mail and Safari - there will be lots and lots.
If you have Mac OS Classic laying about and you don't use it then get rid of it.
If you have Garageband and don't use it then get rid of it as it is enormous in size.
I'll post back with more ideas for you later.
