Why are files in Firefox 33 cache directory different size than saved files on desktop

In previous versions of Firefox I used the cache directory to extract videos, flash files and hidden images, that were not saved in folder and a HTML Document file on desktop. For Example the opening image of a YouTube Video can not be extracted and saved from Firefox but is stored in the cache directory.
To find these files without going through them one at a time, I would copy the cache folder on a desktop folder and then use Double Killer to delete the same size files in both the cache and the saved files in the desktop file folder. The files that are left behind in the cache folder are those that did not save to the desktop file and folder. I can then double check to see if I can find the videos, flash or images from the remaining files.
I have updated to Firefox 30.0.3. The problem now is that the files in the cache are different in KB size from the saved files on the desktop folder. The dimensions of a saved image are the same but the size of the file differ. Now I can not use Double Killer to delete files and have to go through the whole cache directory one by one to find files that were not saved.
Why did the Firefox developers changed the cache directory? Do I need to revert to a previous version of Firefox or is there a way that I can change the cache directory of Firefox 33.0.3 and the size that it stores files.
Would also like to know what add-on gives the best quality screenshot with flash.
Thanks for this support. Apart from this cache problem I find Firefox easy to use and the best web browser.

Current Firefox 32+ releases use a new cache service named Cache2 and this cache service works differently.
Files in the cache2 folder are special files that also store the meta data apart from the actual file data that you see on the about:cache page if you click an item.

Why are the apps i download larger in size than they are supposed to be

When i download an app off the app store, the app is larger in size than it is supposed to be on my pc and on my ipod.
For example i might download an app that says its 100mb on the app store but when it installs on my ipod or pc it will take up about 200mb.
This problem started happening when i updated Real Racing 2 from my ipod over wifi. It is like when i download something from my account it installs the app but doesnt delete the download.
Any ideas on how to fix this problem or what this problem is will be very helpful.

Oooft thanks for rapid responce!! It is same account as purchased app, defo compatible (3 of them used to be on ipod then disappeared) and this is only computer I've ever used with ipod. I also did a software update just incase and tried dragging and dropping them into device but it won't let me!!!!! I will try the restictions thingy!

ORA-01189: file is from a different RESETLOGS than previous files

Hi,
I am trying to clone a database A from B.. the cloning is on the same server.. they are both oracle 8i databases... my OS is sun solaris 8...
I followed the steps outlined in the following article:
http://www.samoratech.com/TopicOfInterest/swCloneDB.htm
Now, while creating the control file on target server, i am getting the erorr:
CREATE CONTROLFILE SET DATABASE "GNXDBT02" RESETLOGS NOARCHIVELOG
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01503: CREATE CONTROLFILE failed
ORA-01189: file is from a different RESETLOGS than previous files
ORA-01110: data file 40: '/dbase17/oradata/gnxdbt02/ts_objs_vlarge_06.dbf'
It means that the file is from a time before a prev. resetlogs and hence is invalid.. I don't have a old copy of this file before prev. reset logs.. so in that case what options can i apply to open the DB and also not lost the data in that datafile?
thx

Hi,
According to documentation:
Cause: In a CREATE CONTROLFILE command, either this file or all previous
files were backups from before the last RESETLOGS.
This also may occur if this is a file that is offline and has been
offline since before the last RESETLOGS.
Action: If the file was taken offline normally before the last RESETLOGS and
is still offline, omit it from the CREATE CONTROLFILE command.
Rename and online the file after the database is open.
Otherwise, find the version of the mentioned file consistent with the
rest of the datafiles and retry the command.
If is the case, you can try edit the CREATE CONTROLFILE script, omit the erroring datafile listed in the ORA-1110 error, from the CREATE CONTROLFILE script, rerun the CREATE CONTROLFILE script and after the database is open, rename and manually online the erroring datafile.
Cheers

Why are clipping adjustments in the basic panel not being saved, updated or shown in the histogram? I am using LR 5.7 on a MAC OSX 10.8 etc.

Why are clipping adjustments in the basic panel not being saved, updated or shown in the histogram? I am using LR 5.7 on a MAC OSX 10.8 etc.

Here is more information and hopefully a better explanation. My version of
LR-5.7 (OS X 10.8.5) apparently does not save the .NEF (Nikon RAW) edits
done in the basic module. That means that I can correct exposure,
highlights, shadows etc. but once I go to another picture and returned to
the edited one the histogram (on the edited photo) and specifically the
clipping triangles are white or some other color. This is normally suppose
to indicate that some channel or all channels are clipped in the
highlight/shadow areas. If I adjust any slider in the Basic panel even as
little as one +/- value or press the J-key, the histogram will now show the
original edit. Moving on to another photo and then returning to to
previously edited one and again the edits are "not saved" and I have to hit
the J-key or adjust a slider to see the previously edited information
reflected in the histogram.
This is especially frustrating for fours reasons. If I have edited a shoot
and return to it I cannot see from the clipping information whether the
original edit was correct and of course I might re-edit it (to some now
incorrect value). This brings up the second issue synchronization. I can't
rely on it because if I go back to fine tune a specific image in the batch
the triangles are white or some other color for that and every image. I have
to hit the J-key to show/hide clipping or the back slash key to see
before/after previews. This is the third issue which is very time consuming
and inefficient regarding my workflow. The forth issue is that I have
noticed that normally when an image is saved in PS, LR adds a copy of the
saved version to its catalogue. I have noticed that the PS to LR saves are
all wrong in terms of exposure (they are much lighter in tone) than the
original LR edit and the PS edit on my screen. If I check the PS to LR photo
in LR I notice that the Basic panel values have been changed and that I have
to sync the image with the originally edited RAW/NEF LR file to get it to
look the same.
Note 1). I am using an Apple cinema display and a calibrated Eizo ColorEdge
monitor to view my NEF files. I have reverted back to using LR 4 however I
am not sure if I should expect compatibility problems with Camera Raw 7.4 in
LR 4 vs. Camera Raw 8.6 in LR 5.
Note 2.) I am going to do an import converting everything to .dng to see if
this is a work around.
Note 3). I would be interested in knowing if this issue is related to the PS
RAW engine ver. 8.6, the Adobe created NEF calibrations or LR 5.
Note 4). I have duplicated this issue in OS X 10.8.5, OS X 9.xx and OS X
10.10.1
Hopefully someone else has noticed this problem. Any shared information
would be valuable. Thanks for the reply.

Why does my iPhone 4 have a different Model # than those on display at Appl

Why does my iPhone 4 have a different Model # than those on display at Apple?
I noticed while in my local Apple store today that their iPhone 4's have a higher Model # in their Settings --> About screen. When I compare mine vs. theirs, why is my Model # lower?
My biggest fear is that Apple will secretly correct the hardware issues on the iPhone 4 & screw over everyone who bought it early by not doing a recall since it would cost them an arm & a leg.
See screenshots of both units compared:
http://yfrog.com/md88epx

They are basically batch numbers as posted by several forums other than Apple. One forum in Canada listed 8 batch numbers of iPhones residing in their country with the last code of "C/A". Mine is "LL" for some reason in the USA. I would have thought it would be "US" but there is probably a more detailed thread on this code choice by Apple.

Not being sent as email - shown as being sent from an email address because you have selected to start new iMessage conversations from your Apple ID email address on your iPhone.

In Firefox 23, with private browsing enabled, why are the addresses of websites visited being added to the file places.sqlite?

In Firefox documentation it is claimed that while a user is in private browsing Cached Web Content, Offline Web Content or User Data will be saved. I am using Firefox beta 23. With 'do not track' and 'private browsing' enabled.
An examination of the file places.sqlite stored in my profile shows it is adding to the file the addresses of every website I visit. This information is not cleared when I close Firefox. When I have closed Firefox I have deleted the file but it reappears unchanged at each fresh machine start.
As I regularly update my versions of Firefox and the file is one carried over with each update the entries in places.sqlite also record my browsing history over a long period - all of it is there whether I had private browsing enabled or not.
How is this true private browsing when this file keeps a complete record of browsing history?

Further to: In order to delete the now very large ''places.sqlite'' I exported my Bookmarks to a html file. Then from my profile I deleted the 9 ''bookmark.json'' files in the folder''' bookmarkbackups'''.
With Firefox shutdown I then deleted ''places.sqlite''. Then with Firefox open I imported the html bookmark file.
The new ''places.sqlite'' generated now only contains the links kept in Bookmarks. I do not yet know if this has solved the problem. I will use the Firefox browser for a couple of days without adding any bookmarks and then check the ''places.sqlite'' file again.

Why is same file different sizes after saving for web?

I have files that I save in PSCS3, under, "Save for Web & Devices" and I indicate under "optimize to file size" that they should be no larger than 60K. After item is saved and I go to "Get info", it says the file is 60K. Yet when I open the file in PS and go to Image Size, it says 467K. Why the discrepancy? Thanks for your feedback!

One is the compressed file size on disk (60K). The other is the uncompressed image size (369 pixels x 432 pixels x 8 bits per channel x 3 channels / 8 bits per byte / 1024, since K really is 1024, not 1000).

Exporting DV/HD files from iMovie to FCE-different sizes in canvas?

Hi!
Desperately need your help. I have a problem with moving my files from iMovie to FCE to edit. Pre cut in iMovie from both DV and HD files (canon 5D) and moving the project to FCE through XML. When in FCE the files line up with different sizes, the old DV files small, 1/3 of the canvas, the HD files perfect.
Are there any settings which can be changed to fix this?
Another problem I have is when exporting to QT the quality simply is not the same as when I export from iMovie and play on 50" plasma. Why? I have tried all options available.
Hope someone out there has some experience and advise.
Kind regards
Olafur

When in FCE the files line up with different sizes, the old DV files small, 1/3 of the canvas, the HD files perfect.
I assume your Sequence settings are for HD which would be why the SD files are so small in comparison.

Why is my Time Machine backup so much larger than the files being backed up?

Mac Mini Server 10.7.1 on a 2011 Mac Mini Server
Here are the drives on my system:
Here are the items excluded from backup:
Note that Server HD and Archive are the only non-excluded disks and the estimated backup size is 563.2 GB (this corresponds with the actual usage on those drives.
However, when I run time machine, it keeps going until by 2TB backup drive is nearly full! And that's with only a single backup instance and nothing else on the drive:
What's going on here??? If I don't backup the other external drive, the backup size doesn't blow up like this.

Just to clarify, the reason why Time Machine backups are generally small is that TM makes extensive use of hard links. symbolic links are small files that point to a different file system entry, while hard links point directly to the original file data on disk (hard links are unintuitive - they are like having multiple doors into a room, except that you can place the doors anywhere you like and still get to the room). So even though there may be dozens of backups of a disk, most of the backed-up items will only have one data source on disk, with only items that have changed needing new representations.
I suspect that when you try to backup a time machine backup, it is converting the hard links into separate on-disk representations - basically taking every pointer to a given piece of on-disk data and creating a new file from it. I'm not sure if that would be a linear or geometric size increase (it sounds like the latter), but either way it's going to get ugly fairly fast.

Why photos in iPhoto (mac) have a different size (mb) than the original?

I have noticed that some photos (not all) have a smaller size (in MB) in iPhoto than the original ones. Do you know the reasons of such decrease of size? iPhoto import procedure is supposed to not lose any information wrt the orignal one then, why the imported photos in some cases should be smaller? Thanks in advance.

1. the source of the original size is the size that I read in the finder (not the one read in the camera).
2. the pictures are jpg
3. the source of the anomalous size is the info box of iphoto, the box where you can find all the exif info, resolution, iso, f-number, EV, etc. In this box you can read also the size of the photo, and here I find that for some photos a smaller size than the original one read in the finder.
4. for the records the camera is a FUJI S5 pro.
5. the photos are not edited in iphoto, as said in my reply, just imported and placed in a album. I just import photos in a folder on my mac, import those photos in iphoto, and I find the mismatch of the size between the photos in the folder on my desktop with the original photos and the ones in iphoto. As said, this does not happen for all photos, but for a subset, which appears to be random, since I do not find common features in these photos. I have check in older photos imported and find similar mismatch.
I know that's crazy, I really do not understand why this strange fact is happening. It is even stranger, that if I import twice the same photo, I read two different size in iphoto.

Develop presets have different effects after saving file as either .tif or .psd

When I open a raw .dng file in Photoshop and MAKE NO CHANGES and then save it (either .tif or .psd), the resulting photo appears to be identical to the original raw .dng file. HOWEVER when I then apply development presets (whether my own or Lightroom presets), the presets have a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT effect on the .tif or .psd file than the .dng file. More precisely: the .tif or .psd files have significantly more contrast, saturation and are significantly more exposed. And in fact, despite using the exact same preset, the histograms for each of the pics are different. In addition, the same preset on the .dng file treats colors differently than on the .tif or .psd file. After much experimenting and comparing of each development module and each individual slider, the sliders that seem to behave differently are Brightness, Contrast and Saturation. With each of these sliders, however, the difference in effect is only minimal and should not affect hue, but when applying a preset that affects hue, the actual change in hue is different for the .dng file vs the .tif. or .psd file. All of this even though all of the presets are the same. Whatsmore, applying Auto Tone on the two apparently identical files results in dramatically different affects: the .tif or .psd file is properly corrected, whereas the .dng file has its Brightness decreased and Contrast increased, i.e. the Auto Tone moves the sliders different for the .dng file than for the .tif or .psd file. Is there a solution to this problem?

I'm one of those who eventually migrated from PS to LR. I used to do a layered TIFF for every selected image. With 17-21MP raw files, that amounted to usually between 180-250MB files in addition to the raw. After completely changing my approach, for 99% of my work now I only work from the raw file, including printing / generating web JPEGS. This was really enabled by having the spotting and local editing at the raw file level. But pretty much no more TIFFs as working / final images, just raws with settings. Obviously different people have different requirements, but it's well worth looking into the switch in approach, even if you still end up using PS / Bridge / ACR.

How to link javascript files in myApp.app directory in IOS from html file in app StorageDirectory

I'm using Adobe Air 3 for IOS offline app, and I want to implement a download updates (html files + js,css) feature from within the application. The files would be displayed in a StageWebView component.
Since Apple doesn't allow saving files inside the installation directory, I must use ApplicationStorageDirectory instead to download files into.
I want those download html files to link to .js / .css files already installed within the main application directory (e.g. at myApp.app).
The reason for that is I want to minimize the number of the downloaded (shared) files as much as possible. Is this possible?
Thank you.

I think this doesn't work in StageWebView:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/air/build/WSfffb011ac560372f7e64a7f12cd2dd1867-8000.html#WS901 d38e593cd1bac354f4f7b12e260e3e67-8000
"Note: Links in a StageWebView instance cannot open URLs that use a custom URI scheme."
So I can't for example do this:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="app:/CSS/Templates.css" type="text/css" media="screen, mobile" title="main" charset="utf-8">
What I need is something like the following:
Inside ApplicationStoarageDirectory (/Library/Application Support/):
test.html
I need it to link to a css file located inside ApplicationDirectory (installation directory), something like:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../../MyApp.app/CSS/Templates.css" type="text/css" media="screen, mobile" title="main" charset="utf-8">
