Why do I get different size redings?

I just noticed while looking through my iTunes music that it shows two different sizes? If I look at the "music folder" in my iTunes folder it calculates to 28.62GB, but when I open iTunes and look at the bottom it reads "2184 songs 6.8 days 19.82GB? Why the different size readings.
Also what is the best way to get rid of duplicates? I have a music folder and my wife has a music folder (on her machine) and I have two back ups of music folders from long ago that I have forgotten about on my back up drive. Whats the best way to consolidate every thing and NOT be storing a bunch of duplicates?

Thanks StarDeb55:
I checked and I do have a Unknown Artist folder 1.36GB and a Unkown folder 8.4MB. They have misc music in them including a lot of old system sounds, but no movie files. I have ripped some movies but they are all in my movie fold on my local HD and my back up HD. So that accounts for about 1.44GB of space?

  • Why do I get different tag icon combinations?

    This is really bugging me and I can't fing an answer anwhere.  I've just started organizing my photos by adding albums and keyword tags. I add the album to all the pictures and get a green album icon on the thumnail.  Then for most of the images when I add a tag the album icon is gone and is replaced by a beige tag icon.  But for some of the images, when I add the tag I get separate green album and blue tag icons. Why do i get different icon combinations depending on the image?   Please help!!.

      Yeah I’m sorry it’s not been fixed. I did complain to Adobe shortly after PSE9 was issued, when everything got given an orange tag. It seems to make no difference what icon you choose from the list, it ends up with something that looks like a luggage label colored beige. Of course the keywords will work but it’s all a bit frustrating.
     

  • In Pages 5, why are page thumbnails different sizes?

    So I'm using 5. And I must say I think it's brilliantly done after a long period of ******** about it. I guess I'm not asking of it anything it doesn't provide and what it does it does very well - though I'm puzzled by the behavior of selecting text via the keyboard.
    Anyhow, that's not my question. I'm working with a long text document. I notice that as I work the page thumbnails become different sizes. It's subtle but it's clearly intentional. I reckon it's trying to tell me something but I don't know what. Haven't been able to find any info in the manual and was wondering if any of you clever people here might know. Thanks.

    This is what I meant about how rude you are though.  Your answer DOESN'T EXPLAIN ANY OF THE BEHAVIOUR myself or the other person were reporting.  The only assumption that I can make is that you posted here for the sole purpose of implying that we are both mistaken or stupid. 
    How is this helpful at all? 
    How do you have 32,485 points when you are obviously more concerned with insulting people than helping them out?  It puts the lie to the whole idea of "Apple Support Communities." 
    Also, I specifically informed you that your comments were insulting and unhelpful and politely requested you not post on this thread anymore or at least until you had some kind of actual information, yet here you are.  Posting again, with no content other than the implied insult.
    I'm not stupid.  I know what a section break is, I know what a page break is.  I'm a writer who has used innumerable word processing programs over the years and have been an IT worker for 10 years now. 
    I have a Pages document.  It has no (or only one depending on your point of view), section(s).  It has page breaks only.  The pagination is set to start at "1" on the first page and proceed normally to the end of the document (300 or so pages).  I am using Pages 5.5.2 on a brand new iMac.  I have NONE of the previous or older versions/types of Pages on my computer. 
    The pages thumbnails on the side, do actually CHANGE SIZE randomly as I am editing the document.   These differing sizes are NOT CORRELATED WITH THE BEGINNING OR ENDING OF SECTIONS.  These size changes are also NOT CORRELATED WITH THE PAGE BREAKS (in case you were about to argue the similarity of page breaks and section breaks).  As I work through the document and scroll up and down editing here or there, the size of the thumbnails RANDOMLY CHANGE SIZE.  Sometimes this is correlated with me working on a section, sometimes I can work on a section and no change happens at all.  The thumbnails that change size often change back again when I scroll back to them later on. 
    So please ... Try to act like a decent human being and either help out, or go away.  STOP POSTING THAT WE ARE WRONG, when you DON'T in fact know we are wrong.  STOP INSULTING ME by assuming I am stupid. 
    Why are you even here if you don't want to actually HELP anyone? 
    To anyone else reading this:  I am having a real bad time with this fellow who is just the most insulting person I have met for a while, however many of my posts about him are being deleted.  If anyone knows (including the mods of this forum) of the proper way to REPORT or get rid of a troll/abuser like him on Apple Support Communities or a place to report his behaviour, please let me know. 

  • Why am I getting different values based on order of input when the task type remains the same?

    I'm having a hard time understanding the results I'm getting when I input task information. Here are the scenarios with different, unlinked fixed work tasks:
    I estimate a task will take 2 hrs to complete and put this into work. If I add 1 resource, work = 2 hrs, duration = 1 day?, Resource A = 25%
    On the same task, if I add Resource B (along with keeping A), duration = 0.2 days, Resource A remains 25% and Resource B = 100% (no % shown)
    If I try the same scenario (adding first resource, then adding a second) on another task, occasionally it will give a duration of 0.91 days??? What the hell is that about?
    If I add 2 hrs for work then add both Resource A and Resource B at the same time I get duration = 0.5 days, Resource A = 25% and Resource B = 100%. Why is it giving a duration of 0.5 days and why does it not adjust the unit % for Resource B?
    This one is really blowing my mind. If I don't add work but instead add both resources at the same time first it's either making work 8.2 hrs OR 16 hours! I've gotten this result on the same exact task doing the same exact input. How can this differ?!
    No work input, both resources added initially and IF I get the correct 16 hours with 1 day duration, then I go ahead and change work to 2 hours, which produce Resource A & B = 100% and duration = 0.13 days.
    This last scenario is the duration result I want to see so the resources can work on multiple tasks in 1 day, but I typically try to input the work or duration estimates into the schedule and then resources last. I also don't understand how there can be
    such a wide range of results based on such similar scenarios. Also, having to do it this way creates another step since I have to go back and change the work...although I guess I would be doing that if I input estimates first.
    Can anyone explain why I'm getting those very head scratching differences, as well as provide some insight into how you initially develop a schedule (order of inputs)? I'm wondering if this has something to do with the change in 2010 regarding resources
    that I still don't understand?

    Thank you Julie for the quick reply. As indicated in the first part of my question all these scenarios are dealing with Fixed Work, so yes by default they are effort driven. I should have clarified on the 1st scenario the question mark was just to show duration
    had not changed, I wasn't actually questioning why it hadn't changed. Scenario 1 worked as expected. Although I don't fully agree with it, Scenario 2 also worked as expected.
    Scenario 3: Yes it is effort driven (fixed work). Resources are just test/fake resources so all information, including calendars, is default. This is one of those cases where I can produce that unusual result only on occasion, not everytime.
    4. In my scenario it's fixed work, but I do get the same result as you with fixed unit. Question still remains in both cases of why is the duration 0.5 days on 2 hours total work? Also, why are both units 25% in fixed units, but in fixed work Resource A
    is 25% and Resource B is 100% when in both cases they are working 1 hour? Lastly, if Units is going to be changed in this case then why isn't it 13% (1/8 hours)?
    5. This is also fixed work and I'm not touching duration in any of the scenarios. Day is still default at 8 hours. I was assigning resources via Resource Names on the Gantt View. I'm thinking this had to be some sort of glitch because I can't consistently
    produce the 8.2 hours result, but it happened multiple times.
    I also follow the same steps you do, other than I guess the last one. When you say you enter work estimates while assigning does that mean you do that in the split pane/task details form? I've typically done it from the Gantt View, but that seems to be what's
    causing my issue because when I tried doing it from task details it is giving me the duration I want. So thank you for that. I still don't understand why there is such a wide range of results, but at least it makes more sense to me that 100% Unit working on
    a task duration of 0.13 days is 1 hour.
    I apologize for how long this, but I'm trying to get out of some bad habits I've picked up by being forced to develop dumbed down schedules for the past few years.

  • Why is the text different sizes?

    Hi,
    The text with this browser shows different sizes of text on a web page? Some is normal, then some is tiny. I you pinch the page up to read the tiny text, the normal text goes very large. It ruins reading a web page. Why does this happen, and is there anything I can do about it? It is particularly difficult when on a forum.
    Thankyou.

  • Why does lun show different size on different rac nodes?

    Hi all,
    We are trying to increase ASM disk space and with respect to it when we are trying to allocate more space this question came across my mind. Now this was previously configured by my previous SA.
    [root@oracledbtest1 ~]# /etc/init.d/oracleasm querydisk -d `/etc/init.d/oracl
    cut -f2,10,11 -d" " | perl -pe 's/"(.*)".*\[(.*), *(.*)\]/$1 $2 $3/g;' |
    while read v_asmdisk v_minor v_major
    do
    v_device=`ls -la /dev | grep " $v_minor, *$v_major " | awk '{print $10}'`
    echo "ASM disk $v_asmdisk based on /dev/$v_device [$v_minor, $v_major]"
    done
    **ASM disk ASM01 based on /dev/dm-15 [253, 15]**
    **ASM disk ASM02 based on /dev/dm-14 [253, 14]**
    node 2:

    Now, can any one help me in telling why are my LUN's showing different sizes on RAC and also the best way to allocate the space to the disks in the above scenario.
    P.S I am fairly new in posting to the OTN. Please excuse if I am not clear with my question.
    Edited by: 902932 on Apr 8, 2013 8:25 AM

    why you think the space is different between the 2 nodes?
    The devices are different, that's ok, dm- is the device mapper name, and several devices will create dm-* like entries, so it's ok to have them different.
    When you add a disk, you should follow an approach like:
    Present the disk on the storage
    Refresh the luns on all the nodes
    Create the oracleasm disk on one node
    refresh the oracleasm disks on all the nodes
    verify the new oracleasm disk is present on all nodes in /dev/oracleasm/disks/*
    At this point, you can use asmca or sqlplus in the +ASMn instance to make your asm diskgroup to grow, or create a new disk group                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       

  • Portfolio pdf- why is text in different sizes on each page of pdf?

    Even though i have saved my images with text (always  font size 12) as the same size (eg. 10in x 10in at 100ppi),  each time i save the images as a pdf the pdf then has all different size text from image to image-  a complete mess as a portfolio.
    Also when i then changed the size of the image and saved it as a copy, both images and text stay the same size!  though both the ppi and scale differ in each images....
    How do i change this? any tips appreciated!

    You can't write directly in PDF from Output Module, only add a header or
    footer text but that will repeat itself each page.
    You could try so in an app like Word or if you have Pages or other design
    application it would be possible to make your own layout and text and from
    there save as PDF.
    You can also try in PS, just create a template frame (new file) big enough
    to paste the images in and with space around including more at the bottom
    where you add the text you want. On the frame put a text layer and the file
    layer for the image by either drag and drop or copy paste. Resize the image
    till it fits in the frame
    You cans resize the image on the template layer to fit in the frame as you
    like and save as new files.
    Now you have same sized frame with same ppi and font size.
    With this files selected in Bridge in the order you want choose Output
    Module with option for paper size, landscape or portrait, background color.
    Choose 1 column and 1 row including auto space, deselect filename and
    extension and also deselect header and footer if thy are not so already
    (unless you want some text and page numbers)
    I created the images in photoshop and then  i use the bridge adobe output
    module- the pdf is a multiple page document with one image per page which
    has text written beneath the image -
    as in  the image is saved with a frame with title/text.
    Is there a way of writing individual text directly onto each pdf page
    instead of the image? perhaps this will solve the issue of differing text
    sizes....?

  • Why are my exports different sizes?

    When I export a photo from aperture, I am getting a different file size than what it says in aperture.  This happens with edited images or non-edited.  I've tried changing the export presents and they all give me different file sizes, which makes sense.  But I can't seem to export a photo and get it to come out the exact same size as what it says in aperture.  If I set the quality to 12 in export presets, it ends up being much larger than what it is in aperture, if it's set to 11 or lower the photo ends up being smaller than aperture's size.  What am I doing wrong?

    That's how JPG works.  The compression is redone every time the file is saved.  When you export, you create a new file.  If you create a JPG, it will be created to the compressing setting you use, but that compression setting is specific to the program using it, and will not result in a file of the same size saved by a different program.
    The only way to get the exact same file is to export the file you imported -- in Aperture, this is done as "File➞Export➞Original".
    If you are aiming for the highest quality JPG that fits within a upper limit of storage required (e.g. 5 MB), you can make small changes using "Size to" set to "Percent of Original" and then trying, for example, 90%.  For almost all uses a quality of 11 is more than sufficient.  For printing (where max IQ is primary, and file size shouldn't matter) use TIFF 16-bit.

  • 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).

  • Why do we get different "Save before exit" dialogs?

    We have five developers with Word 2013 Professional Plus, 32-bit. When we close an unsaved document, three of us get one dialog and the other two get another.
    Both dialogs ask "Want to save your changes to ...?" 
    One also says "If you click 'Don't Save', a recent copy of this file will be temporarily available. 
    Learn more".
    And the program behavior is different between the two after you click "Don't Save."  What do we have different?

    This is before ever saving the file; even with a new blank document. Two of us have checked version numbers and they are identical (Office Pro Plus 2013, 15.0.4631.1000). The others should be since most of us installed from the same corporate distribution
    installer. There are some COM add-in differences, like OneNote, but their presence or absence doesn't correlate with the different dialogs.
    We checked a default install on a virtual machine, and it makes the score 4 to 2, with most getting the one having the extra verbiage.
    Our dilemma is that for those with the more common dialog, after clicking "Don't Save," the BeforeSave event still fires in our VSTO add-in (and there is no clue we can find that the user clicked "Don't"). For those with the other dialog,
    it doesn't fire then. It seems to me that BeforeSave should not be firing if there is no Save happening.
    UPDATE: Which dialog shows toggles with the state of the "Keep the last autosaved version..." checkbox in the Save options.  Answer found.  Now about that BeforeSave thing.......?

  • Why do i get different photos when i hover or click on a thumbnail picture in iPhoto?

    When I hover or choose a thumbnail picture in iphoto I get a completely different photo from that album.  Is something corrupted?

    Try to rebuild your thumbnails.
    What is your iPhoto version? Assuming it is iPhoto 9.5 hold down the key combination⌥⌘ , while double clicking the iPhoto icon to launch iPhoto in First Aid mode. Keep holding the keys down, until you are seeing the First Aid panel.
    Select "Rebuild Thumbnails".
    If rebuilding the thumbnails does not suffice, try the "Repair dtabase" option, and finally the Rebuild database. But make sure, your update of your iPhoto library is current and working, before you try a rebuild.

  • Why would I get different sized exe's if I build the same source code and target the same RT target?

    Hi Bob P (Dr. RT) et al,
    This is driving me nuts! I have a VI that uses different amount of memory depending on which machine I use to do the build.
    I use the same build file and the same source.
    It is targeted at the same cFP2000.
    FP version is the same.
    LV version is the same.
    If I build it from the one machine, there is enough memory available to target the RT platform, show the front panel and do a "show RT engine info".
    If I try this from the other machine, the cFP crashes, starts flashing the "status light" and latter on the crash dump file indicate "insuffiecient memory to complete this operation".
    The OS on the two machines are both XP. O
    ne is a laptop (the one that works) the other is a tower.
    Are there any LV ini file settings that could be hitting me?
    My customer is seeing the same issue, so it not just me.
    Any clues?

    Hi Bob,
    Few questions:
    1)Ftp to your target. Are the exes the same size on disk?
    No
    2)Build the exes on the hosts. Are they the same size on disk?
    I will have to look at this.
    3)Can you determine whether the exes consume the same amount of memory when loaded on the hosts?
    They will not run on the host because they use inport/output (to control serial port handshake lines).
    4)Does your application call any dlls via an NI driver or custom-built?
    THey use the "Settime.dll. At build time the builder says the target OS has its own version of this (and FP).
    I'm doubtful that any LV ini settings are causing this behavior. If I had to take a guess, it could be related to dll versioning. Do the hosts have identical versions of *all*
    drivers/dlls called by your app?"
    Can you give me a suggestion on how verify this.
    I have double checked LV (6.1) and FP.

  • Why Do I get different result when Run as Admin to Standard?

    Why when Running this script to copy from the "config64" folder (if files exist)(if not copy from "config32")  if works correctly when running  Batch file normally (copies the config64), but using the exact same line when running
    the Batch file as "Run as Administrator" it doesn't work correctly (copies the config32, even though Files do exist config64 folder as they did when I ran it normally and it worked)
    >nul 2>nul dir /a-d "Folder\config64\*" /s && (XCOPY "%~dp0Folder\config64\File64.ini" "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\CompanyFolder\ProductFolder\" /y /d) || (XCOPY "%~dp0Folder\config32\File32.ini" "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\CompanyFolder\ProductFolder\" /y /d)
    UAC is turned off and I'm the administrator (only user on a standalone PC) running windows 8.1.
    Is there a reason or it is a strange bug with Windows 8.1?

    A LOT  more intellectual than
    Frederik Long Who just had no clue himself to not offer an answer. As I've only been looking at this for 2 weeks I think I've come far and you help is much appreciated. Thank you JRV!
    You seem to miss the point. Assuming that your problem is caused by a bug can prevent you from finding the real cause. If you had dismissed the bug theory then you might have done some real debugging, e.g. by breaking up your single-line script (which is
    hard to comprehend) into easily digestible pieces and adding some debugging code like so:
    @echo off
    set Target="%ProgramFiles(x86)%\ComapanyFolder\ProductFolder\"
    dir /a-d "Folder\config64\*" /s 1>c:\Test.log 2>&1
    if %ErrorLevel% EQU 0 (
    XCOPY "%~dp0Folder\config64\File64.ini" %Target% /y /d /s 1>>c:\Test.log 2>>&1
    ) else (
    XCOPY "%~dp0Folder\config32\File32.ini" %Target% /y /d /s 1>>c:\Test.log 2>>&1
    The log file would have told you quickly what is going on. Furthermore - why should I offer my own solution to your problem when JRV gave you a perfect answer straight away?
