Why do Mac Appstore updates change file size when downloading?

I was updating iMovie to the current version 10.0.3
When it was downloading, it went
from: "downloading 100 MB of 200+ MB"
to: "downloading 300+ MB of 1.97 GB"
Why does it do that? The same thing happens when I'm downloading iPhoto, Keynote, Pages & other Apple apps.

If you go to iMovie at the App Store, look at the box on the right that says: Information
The file size is;  1.97GB's.
100MB of ....  that's the status of the download.
It's nothing to be concerned about.

  • Does VLC change file sizes when adding files?

    I have a 64GB iPad that had 32.1GB of free space. I copied over video files that Finder said took up 31.7GB of space. However, after all the files were done copying to the iPad, iTunes said that I had 11.7GB of free space on the iPad. How is this possible? All the videos did copy and all play, so I don't think anything got lost in the file transfer. Does VLC or iTunes downsize the videos somehow? If so, is there a way to not have it do that?

    @Julian Wright:
    I don't think you read my post; there's no way that reporting 1000MB vs. 1024MB as 1GB would account for the difference between the video files taking up 31.7GB of space on my Mac but only 20GB of space on the iPad. Unless my math is very wrong, in which case, I would love to learn the correct way to figure this out. And besides, I was talking about OS X and iTunes reporting file sizes, not my iPad. Unless iTunes reports file sizes differently than OS X, which would be very confusing.

  • How to update "Estimated File Size"

    As I fiddle around with my Export Settings (CS4), I don't see any update in the "Estimated File Size" info at the bottom left of the screen.
    It seems to me that as I move the Target Bitrate and Maximum bitrate (as well as the other options), I would see the Estimated File size increase or decrease so I can have real time feedback on my settings.
    Is there a setting I need to change or a command I need to make in order to see an updated "Estimated File Size"?
    Thanks

    Nevermind. I see that the sliders do indeed give me a reak time updated file size.  Don't know how I missed it.

  • Why can't I update any apps? When I hit update it gives me an old id. But in settings my new id is totally set and verified. How cam I make the change in App Store?

    Why can't I update any apps? When I hit update it gives me an old id. But in settings my new id is totally set and verified. How cam I make the change in App Store?

    App purchases are permanently tied to the ID with which they were purchased. They cannot be transferred to a new ID.
    You will have to enter the password for that ID or delete the apps and re-purchase them with the new one.

  • File sizes when burning in different formats

    Like many people, most songs in my playlists are MP3s/MPEG.
    If I want to burn 20 songs as an Audio CD (to play in a car's CD player) and select same in Preferences>Advanced, I understand that the files will be uncompressed to something like AVI format.
    My playlists show (at the bottom) file sizes of 50MB to 70MB. Obviously, the real size when uncompressed is something nearer 700MB. It means a bit of guesswork as to how many songs I can burn on one CD.
    Similarly, when burning Data CDs, the file size will be much reduced.
    Is there a way I can ascertain the exact file size when burning in different formats?

    +"It means a bit of guesswork as to how many songs I can burn on one CD."+
    For audio CDs, there is no guesswork required. At the bottom of the playlist that you are about to burn, you will see the number of songs and the total time. If the time is under 80 minutes, the list will fit on a normal audio CD. If it is approximate, like "1.2 hours," click on it and it will change to exact hours, minutes, seconds.

  • Stop images from losing file size when scaled down?

    Ive read this tutorial;
    http://joedasilva.com/blog/?p=32
    and ive just found out that if you scale an image smaller,
    the file size is permanently decreased, and enlarging the image
    again will make it pixalated. If im working with images and I want
    a lot of freedom to play around with the scaling, do I need to
    convert them all to grafics?
    Is there a setting I can change so that the images are saved
    at the display resolution when I export them, but maintain there
    full file size when in the document? Is this how illustrator works?
    thanks

    There is no such a thing as a "grafic." In your Fireworks
    document, you can have bitmap objects and vector objects. Bitmap
    objects, such a photographs, are rectangular objects with detailed
    information, where the color and transparency of each pixel is
    specified. Vector objects are mathematical objects, where the shape
    is determined by nodes and the color is determined by the fill
    type. You cannot convert a bitmap object to a vector object
    (although you can sometimes create a vector illustration that
    resembles a photograph).
    If you are still experimenting with your design, what you can
    do is add a layer with your original-sized bitmap objects. Put this
    layer at the bottom of your stack and keep it hidden. Then, anytime
    you feel a need to refresh an object that you've resized too many
    times, copy that object from your originals layer. It may not be a
    perfect solution, but it should help you.
    I've never had a problem with multiply resizing photos,
    myself, because I design my layouts with vector shapes first. Once
    I have all my proportions set,
    then I add any photos I have. With this worflow, I know what
    size to make my photos. Of course, I might change my mind, later,
    but my process keeps me on track.

  • TS5179 I've been bitten by the "Missing MSVCR.dll file" problem when downloading the latest iTunes update (PC w/ Win-7 & Outlook-2007#. 'Have followed Apple's instructions of un-installing all Apple software, and re-installing it. #out of space...??)

    I've been bitten by the "Missing MSVCR.dll file" problem when downloading the latest iTunes update, 11.4.62 (on a PC w/ Win-7 & Outlook-2007#. 'Have followed Apple's instructions of un-installing all Apple software, and re-installing it (Ugh).  First result Outlook couldn't find my 1,385 item contact file in iCloud, although the outlook distribution lists were there.  Second result, upon installing iCloud again, I have two iCloud contact files shown in outlook - "iCloud" & iCloud, within iCloud".  1,332 & 1,385 contacts respectively. 
    Plus an iCloud installation error message saying iCloud moved 6,835 files to a "deleted items folder" somewhere.  This is NOT fun at 72-yrs old...!!
    So, how do I make sure I haven't lost anythying from Outlook?   Russ-AZ

    Interesting response, Kappy  -  Back to original post: "First result: Outlook couldn't find my 1,385 item contact file in iCloud, although the outlook distribution lists were there (therefore, initially I had lost my contact file from Outlook).  Second result, upon installing iCloud again, I now have two iCloud contact files shown in Outlook - "iCloud" & iCloud, within iCloud".  W/ 1,332 & 1,385 contacts respectively.  
    Plus an iCloud installation error message saying iCloud moved 6,835 files to a "deleted items folder" somewhere.  This is NOT fun at 72-yrs old...!!
    So, how do I make sure I haven't lost anythying from Outlook?   Russ-AZ"
    You can safely assume that I have tried using it!   So, to make things a little clearer:
         1)  I now have two iCloud "contacts files", w/ a different total count. What's the difference?  Why the different toatl count?
         2)  Since re-installing the Apple software (part of the MSVCR" recovery instructions) "couldn't possible affected Outlook", why am I getting an iCloud installation error message saying iCloud moved 6,835 files to a "deleted items folder" somewhere.  What's in those files? And where are they?
    Probably more important questions get down to:
         3)  Why is a basic Apple product upgrade "screwing-up Outlook"?  This iTunes upgrade, failing to install properly forced Outlook 2007 into a 2-min start-up cycle.  Which was fixed with this "Goat-Rpdeo" of re-installing MSVCR80.dll.
         4)  And under the latest release of iOS-7.0.4 on our iPhones, why is Apple now forcing us to use the iCloud to back-up our contacts, calendars & tasks, vs. allowing these files to be backed-up directly on our PC's via the USB cable?
    Thanks again for your interest and comments.  - Russ-AZ

  • Why does FCP looses its source file reference when files are copied

    Why does FCP looses its source file reference when files are copied from another project??
    i have this happen all the time, I move all my media to another drive and files that originated in another project do not reconnect because they have lost there source?
    Any way to fix this mess? i am in the middle of reconnecting 400 files by hand one at a time!!!
    Thanks, mark

    Because you changed the file path. From one hard drive to another...the hard drive name is no doubt different, and then if you have the files in different folder structures then yeah, it will lose the connection to that media.
    Best thing to do is to clone your media drive, or name the other drive the same name, and keep the exact same file structure (folders in folders) as the original drive. Then you won't need to reconnect.

  • I'm no longer able to select the file size when emailing a photo. How can I solve this? iPhone 4S with iOS 7.1.1

    I'm no longer able to select the file size when emailing a photo. How can I solve this? iPhone 4S with iOS 7.1.1. Thanks a lot.

    Yeah - I tried that, several times; each time I get "iTunes is restoring the software on this iPhone" and after about 30 minutes the screen on the phone lights up again with the same screen I had before.  After that ... nothing.

  • How do you turn off the "Update Template Files" dialog when saving a template in Dreamweaver?

    As the title states I'd like to not have to see the "Update Template Files" dialog when saving a template.  I'm not sure what its purpose is other than to annoy as it does not seem to do anything  -- selecting update, don't update, any combination of files and or hitting escape appears not to make any difference wrt wheter it updates the pages or not (it does every time).
    Any help will be appreciated.

    The "more like this" window gave me the answers.  No current ability to turn off.  I've submitted a request to add this feature.

  • Change paper size when printing

    How to change paper size when printing pdf? No option for paper size appear.

    That is a feature of AirPrint. If you do a Google search on "AirPrint paper size" you'll find documentation from major printer manufacturers. For example, this is copied from some HP documentation:
    What paper and media sizes are supported? 
    With AirPrint, paper and photo media sizes are automatically selected depending on the application you are using on your Apple device, your HP ePrint printer, and the region in which you are using AirPrint. You do not have the option to select different paper sizes.
    For example, from Apple’s Photo application, if the HP ePrint printer has a separate photo paper tray, AirPrint uses 4 x 6 inch photo media as the default paper size. If the printer does not have a separate photo paper tray, AirPrint uses letter-size paper. If you are printing from Apple’s Safaribrowser, letter-size paper is the default paper size in the US region, and A4 is the default paper size in Europe.
    AirPrint supports the following paper and media sizes:
    Letter
    Legal
    A4
    4 x 6 in photo paper
    A6 photo paper

  • Incorrect file size in download list

    Incorrect file size in download list.
    Use russian localized Safari. If I download file and it size is 12 Mb then Safari show 12 Gb!

    Hi
    You can try the following approach.
    First you can download all the records to one file and than using the following 
    CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES => FILE_GET_SIZE
    You can find the size, when you have size value.
    You can do division as per your requirement and loop the internal table and download accordingly
