Why is takes too much storage in "others" tab??? It is 77GB and I do not know what it stores and how to delete it

My Macbook Pro takes about 77GB in Others tab when I check the available space. I do not know how to reduce it and also I don't know what is stored. Please help me with it.

See http://pondini.org/OSX/LionStorage.html.

How much storage am I allowed on my website and how do I check the amount?

I post a lot of videos on my website. I know they eat storage space. How do I check to see if I'm running out of space? Or, is this a question I should post on the MM discussion?

Just to clarify: I know I am allowed 20 GB of storage on iDisk. I wasn't clear as to whether some of that is just storage, or whether I could post all 20 on my website. Sorry, but I would really appreciate it if you would confirm that is the case. Thanks for helping! (I'm just a gramma. My site is to keep family and friends informed about my physically disabled grandson. I really appreciate that there are users who are willing to take time to help!)

Imessage uses too much storage

Hello,
I've got a big problem. I updated my ipod Touch 5g 64 GB to ios7 on thursday. When I was looking in the settings to see the new options and functions, I got to the overview of all apps and how much storage they take. Normally, my 2 GB games were there at the top, but this time, I was really shocked: iMessage used 13,1 GB of my storage although I've cleared my complete history. I noticed that my ipod uses a bit too much storage, but ios 6 didn't show the usage of imessage. I searched for an option to delete these files, but I didn't find an option for that (signing out of imessage and apple id, checking imessage). Now my question is: How can I delete those files, because it takes too much storage and I can't even use them.

You have corrupted files on the iPod I suspect that if yo connect the the iPod to yur computer the "other" amount of storage would be large.
What is the Other on my iPhone and How to Remove It
First try restoring from backup.
Last, restoreing to factory setting/new iPod may be required if the corruption is in the backup

T400 takes too much time to start or shutdown

I got a lenovo thinkpad T400, everything seems to be fine but lot of issues.
1. It takes too much time to start or shutdown (I purchased 2GB turbo memory along with the system for $50, but no use).My system is slower than 2.2 GHz(mine is 2.53GHz)
2.Fingerprint Reader: When I tried to login using my fingerprint reader it gives an error message "computer is locked only authorized user can login", when we need to type in Password every time, why Finger print reader is used ?
Connectivity: All laptops around can see all networks but not mine, my system couldn't see any networks. Why ?
4. System strucks suddenly staying irresponsible for while.!!!!!!!!!!!
When I tried to talk to CSR, they instructed to format my system using the CD's which they are going to send.When I tried to do so; an error message occurred when I inserted second CD ,that "please insert suitable/matchable(don't remember exactly) CD.
I have other question; the CD's sent by lenovo are not AUTO PLAYABLE ?

what if you press your blue thinkvantage button during startup? does it take you to the recovery partition?

PDPageDrawContentsToWindowEx takes too much time

We are using an Acrobat plugin that renders the PDF file to a bitmap in memory.
We are using Acrobat Professional X. But same problems also appear on Acrobat 9.
We have received several problematic PDF files from our customers that is causing the call that renders the image -
PDPageDrawContentsToWindowEx() to take unreasonably long time.
My target resolutions is 600 dpi but I couldn't wait for the call to return, after more than 6 minutes I kill the process.
The same PDFs render in Acrobat with slight delay (flickering and repainting) but in reasonable time.
I have written for this problem on previous occasions (Aug 5 2010). Since then further problematic samples
show that is linked somehow with transparency being present, but not on all PDFs with transparency.
We have a fast computer so the problem is somewhere in the PDF analysis.
Trying to optimize the file didn't help.
Checking with Preflight for PDF syntax issues also didn't find anything.

I'll have to check the headers, but I KNOW that we exposed it to plugins in A9 – it was necessary since we pulled the DrawToWindow call on the Mac (carbon vs. cocoa).
What you are asking the SDK to do is going to be painful on large complex images. Drawing into an HDC/Window adds SIGNIFICANT overhead to our rendering process, since we have to do all the work in our own "bit buffer" and then copy that buffer into the OS's provided HDC. OUCH! This is why DrawToMemory is better.
Additionally, if you have files with complex transparency AND you want OverprintPreview, that's also going to be VERY complex rendering pipeline – made WORSE by the need to end up in an HDC. Forgetting separations for the moment, consider that we have to convert everything to CMYK (since you can only compute OP in CMYK), blend colors, then convert all of that to RGB. And that's assuming SIMPLE transparency. If you have multiple blending groups, soft masks, etc. then you just raised the bar even more!
How long does it take Acrobat to open up the PDF and render it completely to screen? For separations, how long does it take to do a "Flatten Transparency" operation?
UpdateRect won't help because of the OP and then transparency flattening

UPK takes too much time "Loading Library"

Hi All, I installed the UPK Developer version 3.5.1 together with the Service Pack 3, as soon as the installation is finished:
1) Execute the UPK Developer application
2) Immediately appear a window, showing that UPK is "Loading the Library"
3) Most of the times takes too much and nothing happens, I have to kill the process.
4) Few times (I don´t know why) it stops and
4a) Let me to navigate in the menu, but most of the options are not available, I mean
I can not make a New Folder, Topic, etc, I can not Open, I can not See Options, etc
And I can not execute anything.
Does any body could help me?
During the process the only few things I was asked for were: Language, Type (I need SINGLE USER) and Windows Group, nothing related to Library configuration or something like that, any clue?

Hello,
You can contact Oracle Support here: http://support.oracle.com/
For more information about this forum, please see the announcement at the top of the forum: http://forums.oracle.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=1175
You shouldn't need to kill the Library loading process. Once that happened, it likely left a partial Library in your local cache. Oracle Support can assist you with this issue.

I like to know when i use fire fox why it take so much resource of my computer ? it almost 1/4 of my 4gig of memeory , ihave 6,7 page of firefox window open

i like to know when i use fire fox why it take so much resource of my computer ? it almost 1/4 of my 4 gig of memory , i have 6,-8 page of firefox window open at cpu level its is almost 25% been used up. i see its taking too much resource i wonder why ?? how not to take so much and it crashes often.. any help,ive 24.0 ,

Firefox add-ons take some memory. This amount varies depending on the add-on.
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
Does this decrease the memory usage? Please report back soon.

Updating the ipod with itunes takes too much time

i have like 3000 songs in my itunes library ,but when i change some track's names o change anything of my songs in a diferent way like putting their names in capital letters or changing their artworks..etc ,itunes takes too much time updating the changes to my ipod................. why?
ipodvideo Windows XP
Windows XP

Generally the iPod update is pretty quick unless you are making many hundreds of changes at a time. It could be the USB port is slow, try it in another port, preferably on the back of the PC, some computers have underpowered ports on the front panel. Also the recommended system requirements are for USB 2, it will work from a USB 1 port but much slower if that's the type of port you have.

When i execute code, it shows "Record 1/?" and takes too much of time to execute.

Hi all,
I have s form with push_button (SEND TO BACKUP).
For this push button - SEND TO BACKUP, i have coded the below for Trigger - WHEN BUTTON PRESSED.
DECLARE
CNT NUMBER;
TEMPDATE DATE;
CURSOR C1 IS SELECT MAT_DESC, FRAME, FSIZE,    POLES, NUMS, DRG_NO,    RM_WT, FIN_WT, RATE,    FRAMENAME, FTYPE, CHND_DATE,RATESOFPO
FROM RMC_INACTIVE_MAT_RATES_MP;
BEGIN
FOR I IN C1 LOOP
   SELECT COUNT(CHND_DATE) INTO CNT FROM RMC_INACTIVE_MAT_RATES_MP_PREV WHERE CHND_DATE=I.CHND_DATE;
IF CNT > 1 or cnt=1 THEN
   MESSAGE('INACTIVE MATERIAL RATES FOR MEGAPACK ALREADY EXIST IN BACKUP WITH THIS DATE ');
MESSAGE(' ');
Raise Form_Trigger_Failure;
end if;
end loop;
FOR I IN C1 LOOP
INSERT INTO RMC_INACTIVE_MAT_RATES_MP_prev(MAT_DESC, FRAME, FSIZE, POLES, NUMS, DRG_NO,    RM_WT, FIN_WT, RATE,    FRAMENAME, FTYPE, CHND_DATE,

END LOOP;
COMMIT ;
MESSAGE('DATA HAS SENT SUCCESSFULLY ');
MESSAGE(' ',NO_ACKNOWLEDGE);
END;
It is working but with lot of delay, it takes too much of time.
After i run this form & as i press the button, it shows "Record 1/?" in the below and it takes almost 5 mins to execute completely and dhow the message.
Can you tell why is it showing "Record 1/?" below ???
How to reduce the delay??
Thank You.

Copy an image into system clipboard takes too much memory

Our Swing application copies a java.awt.BufferedImage into the system clipboard. Our image has a size of 1024x768 pixels and a depth of 24 bits per pixel.
The copy from the image to the system clipboard works, but is very slow and takes too much memory. Before the copy, java.exe uses about 30 MB. After the copy, it uses about 90 MB! However, a 1024x768x3 image should consume only 2,4 MB.
We did some debugging and it seems the AWT library does several copies of our original image in order to copy it in the system clipboard. I guess that each of these copies takes a lot of memory (probably because of a different format from the original image) and is not immediately garbage collected.
This is a big issue for our application because the JVM throws an OutOfMemoryError when we try to copy a new image to the system clipboard.
Here is our code. Do you have any idea? Thanks a lot for your help.
// Create the image
BufferedImage image = new BufferedImage(1024, 768, BufferedImage.TYPE_3BYTE_BGR);
Graphics2D g2 = image.createGraphics();
drawSomething(g2);
g2.dispose();
// Put the image into the system clipboard
ImageSelection handler = new ImageSelection(image);
Clipboard clipboard = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getSystemClipboard();
clipboard.setContents(handler, handler);
* An implementation of Transferable and ClipboardOwner to be used with
* images.
public class ImageSelection implements Transferable, ClipboardOwner {
    private static final DataFlavor flavors[] = {DataFlavor.imageFlavor};
    private Image image;
    public ImageSelection(Image imageToCopy) {
        this.image = imageToCopy;
    // Interface ClipboardOwner
    public void lostOwnership(Clipboard clipboard, Transferable transferable) {
        image = null;
    // Interface Transferable
    public Object getTransferData(DataFlavor flavor) throws UnsupportedFlavorException,
                                                            IOException {
        if (isDataFlavorSupported(flavor)) {
            return image;
        else {
            throw new UnsupportedFlavorException(flavor);
    public DataFlavor[] getTransferDataFlavors() {
        return flavors;
    public boolean isDataFlavorSupported(DataFlavor flavor) {
        return flavor.equals(flavors[0]);
}

why dont u use other data structure to store the image , which will take less memory.

White MacBook takes too much time to boot up

Hi there.
I got the topcase(keyboard) of my MacBook repaired. (White MacBook 2006) and after that it takes nearly 7 up to 10 seconds after pressing the power button that I first see apple logo and it boots up.
I'm not sure but seems like that detecting the hardwares take too much time .
any solution?
PS: I'm running Snow Leopard(10.6.2)

Itunes takes too much time to open and don´t recogneize my iphone

itunes takes too much time to open and don´t recogneize my iphone
I´ve alredy unistall and re install and didn´t work

5-10 minutes is normal for me when opening iTunes. But then my library is stored on network drive which slows everything down.
There has been many posts about problems with RAID and iTunes. Don't know if any of those relate.

For the last month or so my icloud won't back up, it keeps telling me that there is too much storage and I need to delete some data. But I have deleted between 3-400 photos and it is still saying the same, can anyone please help

If they were deleted from your camera roll that should have resulted in a corresponding decrease in the estimated size of your next backup.
If it's still saying that you don't have enough storage to back up, read through this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4847. It provides some suggestions for reducing your iCloud storage, such as deleting unneeded email.
The other area to look at is your text messages. These are included in the backup. If you have lots of photos and videos attached to your messages, that can significantly increase the size of your backup. If that's the case, deleting these may make a big difference.

You may need to reset your network settings, making sure the network you're accessing is stable: tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
If your iPhone still can't connect to App Store, tap Settings > iTunes & App Store > tap the Apple ID and sign out > later, sign in with your Apple ID.

Azure Data Sync Log Take Too Much Time to Load

Hi,
I've found that the Azure Sync Log inside the Portal take too much time to load if my sync group was created long time ago. i.e. for those new sync group with only a few logs, it will take around 5 seconds for loading. However, I've many sync group created
more than 1 year, and it will take me up to 10 minutes for viewing the first page of the logs.
It seems the Portal will download ALL the logs to my browser even I just want to view the most recent logs (maybe I just want to view the last 10 records, but it will download the whole 5000 pages?)
It will be great if the Portal only fetch the data of the page I am currently viewing, instead of fetching all the logs.
Is there any ways to speed up the log loading time?
