Why did I have more than 120gb of asl files stored on my computer?

My computer was telling me that my hard drive was full. When I pulled up Finder the amount of free space on my hard drive was jumping up and down even though I wasn't doing anything. I don't have that much on my computer, so I couldn't figure out why all my memory was gone. I looked around on forums and was able to find 120 gb of crap in the asl folder. Why did this happen and how do I prevent this from happening again????

In this thread https://discussions.apple.com/message/9122845#9122845 it was a problem with Javascript and a certain Weather Chanel Screensaver.
If you work you way through the other links shown in the "More Like This"-section on the right side you might find some more reasons/solutions to the ASL-problem.
I am thankful that I don't have it...

    why cant i have more than one movie at one time

    It may be how much space is available on your iPad. The average movie is around 2.5 gigabytes. If you reach your space limit then you can't download anything until you clear space.

  • HT1222 Hey, I've tried to install the new iOS 7.1 but it says that the installation cannot be completed and doesn't say why. I have more than 50% battery left but it still doesn't work, help?

    It probably means you don't have enough available storage on your phone.  It takes space to store the download - THEN unpack it.  Best method is to use a computer with iTunes (This allows you to back up on your computer as well). 
    PLEASE:  Do not purchase iCloud storage space - this will not give you more room for the iOS 7.1 installation.

  • Can you have more than one version of Premiere Elements on one computer

    I have an Apple iMac 2.5GHz Intel Core i5, 8 GB Memory running OSX 10.7.5. I currently have Adobe Premiere Elements 9 installed and just purchased Premiere 11. I know they changed a lot on the new version and want to make sure it performs well on this computer and want to keep the older version in case my previous projects don't mesh well with the newer version. Can I have both versions installed on this computer?

    Having more than one version of PrE on a computer has never been an issue for many users. Some have had up to four installed, for testing, and for gaining familiarity with newer versions. I do not recall any having any issues, at least not any, that were posted.
    While I seldom have more than one version of PrE installed, I often have several versions of Adobe Photoshop, and have never had an issue. Same with Adobe Audition, and PrPro. Most Adobe programs (Acrobat Reader is one exception) will install in totally different folders, and there are seldom confilcts.
    Good luck,

  • Is there a way to have more than 15 items in 'File/Recent'

    When filing email, I use the 'File/Recent' in the Thunderbird toolbar a lot and I have a lot of folders. It would be great to be able to allow for more than the last 15 folders to choose from.
    Also, it would be great to make some of these folders 'sticky', i.e. they would stay on the list even if not used often.
    Thanks.

    Make an album in iTunes with the songs you want to play in your slideshow. Then drag the album to the audio well of your iDVD slideshow.

  • Why do I have more than one copy of a TV show on my Mac?

    +Hi everyone, this is my first ever post so go easy on me!+
    I bought an HD TV series via Apple TV. I noticed files were downloading to both Apple TV and my Mac as well - I expect this is normal. I started a sync to clear all but the 5 least recent unwatched HD episodes off the AppleTV as the whole series would not have fit on there. I left the files processing overnight but iTunes crashed at some point so I had to start the sync again. The second sync has now completed and I've got my 5 least recent unwatched episodes on AppleTV (episodes 3-7). So far so good...
    *Now, in iTunes I see that I have two copies of the HD versions of episodes 1,5,6,7,8,9 and 10.*
    *Will it be OK to delete these extra copies from my iTunes library?*
    *Did I do something daft getting it to Sync before all downloads were finished - if so, is there anything I could/should do differently?*
    Any guidance would be much appreciated.

    Welcome to the  Discussion Forums
    It won't be a problem if you delete your extra copies.
    I don't download very much to my tv, I do sometimes if I'm in bed but usually I do it from itunes. However if you have not fully downloaded something to the tv it is possible to start the download from itunes as well, you have likely activated 'check for downloads fin itunes in some way, could be by opening itunes, selecting 'check or downloads' from the advanced menu or that you simply have automatically check for downloads set in your prefs and it has checked coincidentally.

  • Why do i have more than one "Sites" cert after updateing and expired cert.Can i delete the expired cert?????

    Hi After getting the below message i updated my cert but now have 3 of the same certs? Can i delete the expired cert?????
    There is no valid SMTP Transport Layer Security (TLS) certificate for the FQDN of SERVER.domainname.local. The existing certificate for that FQDN has expired. The continued use of that FQDN will cause mail flow problems. A new certificate that contains the
    FQDN of SERVER.domainname.local should be installed on this server as soon as possible. You can create a new certificate by using the New-ExchangeCertificate task.
    I used "Get-ExchangeCertificate | Select CertificateDomains,Thumbprint,Status,Services | fl"
    to see which cert was expired
    I used "Get-ExchangeCertificate –Thumbprint 91D4C277BE4DF5FA15FC76D936375B7766ABCC23 | New-ExchangeCertificate" to replace the expired cert
    I re-ran "Get-ExchangeCertificate | Select CertificateDomains,Thumbprint,Status,Services | fl"
    to see if it had worked
    but now i have two certs one expired the other not. Can i delete the expired cert?????

    Hi 
    Yes you can delete the expired certificate which are showing  as it is not functional anymore and they remain as stale entries 
    You can use  below command
    Remove-ExchangeCertificate -Thumbprint "specify the value "

  • Re:Is it possible to have more than one Address Book file

    My Address Book file has many, many contacts listed. My problem is that when I sync my iPhone with my desktop, all of the contacts go to the iPhone, even though I don't want them all in the phone. Is there a way to control the phone contacts by having two Address Book files? Or is there a better solution. Thanks.

    No, you can't have multiple Address Book files. You could create another User account on your Mac and use the Address Book in that account to hold the contacts you don't want synced to your phone. Another option would be use another application such as SBook to sync your contacts with it, then delete all the contacts you would sync with your phone from SBook and keep the ones you don't want synced in SBook.

  • Why does Boot Camp Assistant already think I have more than one partition on my hard drive?

    Greetings...
    I'm surprised I've found no remedy for this problem in my searches so far. My symptom is that when I run the Boot Camp Assistant app, I get the following error message:
    "The startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition." The instructions that are provided along with the error message are: "Back up the disk and use Disk Utility to format it as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume. Restore your information to the disk and try using Boot Camp Assistant again."
    When I try to follow the instructions, I see that Disk Utility shows my drive as having a single partition. Nevertheless, I've backed up my Macintosh HD volume, re-artitioned the drive into a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume (once using the Snow Leopard Installation disk and once using Drive Genius 3), and restored my Macintosh HD volume. After all that, I still get the same error message. I even defragged my hard drive, which seems to have helped some users I've read about, but it hasn't helped me.
    Something worth noting is that I recently upgraded to a bigger internal hard drive, and before doing so, I deleted the Boot Camp volume. I innocently thought I'd just do a fresh install sometime after replacing the hard drive, but hindsight tells me that I might have fallen victim to my own ignorance.
    Is there a value stored in a register somewhere that's telling my OS that I have more than one partition when I really don't? Can someone out there help me do battle against my ignorance?
    I'd be grateful for any help that can be sent my way...

    I used DG3 to initialize the HD, which essentially erases the disk if I understand correctly. I haven't used Superduper before, so perhaps that's worth looking into.
    I did mentioned the use of DG3 to ensure that I had a single disk partition. I guess the restore from a clone or Time Machine was implied...
    ;o)
    Thanks for putting some effort into helping me. I'll look at Superduper and let you know if that gets me anywhere...

  • Why I can only download 20 photos for last month from the photostream while I have more than 3GB photos kept in iCloud? Many thanks.

    Why I can only download 20 photos for last month from the photostream while I have more than 3GB photos kept in iCloud? My iPhone was stolen and the photos in it are very precious to me. Many thanks.

    On a new device you can only download what is currently stored in "My Photo Stream" in iCloud. iCloud keeps up to the last 1000 photos, but only the photos, that have been added during the last month. Older photos may be removed, when the time is up. On other devices you may be seeing older photos as well in "My Photo Stream", that will depend on the available storage on those devices, and when the Photo Stream has been enabled on those devices, see:  My Photo Stream FAQ - Apple Support
    If you are seeing other photos in the Photo Stream on other devices, that you want to save, mail them to you from the other devices.
    Have you tried to restore your iPhone from the last iCloud backup of the old phone? The backup will contain the photos in the Camera Roll, but not the photos in Photo Stream.   iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
