Why is there a difference in file size shown for QT files?

After creating a self-contained QT file, it displays in the folder window as 8.5GB, even though I know it has to be much larger, and when I check "Get Info" on the file, it displays as 16.5GB. Has this happened with anyone else? This has happened multiple times for me recently.

Close the folder window and re-open it. Is it now showing the correct size?
Sometimes the finder windows don't refresh properly when they are open and you add a file.

  • Why is there a maximum email attachment size?

    I can understand why there is a maximum MMS file message size but why is there a maximum email attachment size set by the handset? The limit is preventing me sending pictures from my phone. MMS messages are charged at a flat rate but GPRS data is chared per kB. My operator, Tmobile, say they have no limit on email message sizes (and obviously they make more money if you send a larger file. If I transfer my sim card to my laptop or PDA I am able to send any size of attachment with no problem. But with the sim back in the handset a limit of 100kB is imposed. I get the same result using both Tmobile or Orange sims. This is especially annoying if you have a phone that produces high quality images with file sizes several times the limit. You can have a great image with no means of sending it at its original resolution. Anyone know why this is?

    Most operator's (carrier's) MMSC (Multimedia Messaging Service Center) servers do set a limit.
    What the MMS size limit that's guaranteed to go through is defined by a document known as the MMS Conformance Document (maintained by OMA, Open Mobile Alliance, which is a standardization organization by mobile device manufacturers and network operators, primarily).
    So, both the handsets (phones) may or may not have a size limit depending on how it was designed, and in addition the networks also have their own limits, and they do not need to be the same, but the doc I mentioned specifies what the devices and networks have to support, at least.
    More on OMA (and you can try to find the MMS Conformance Doc, if you wish):

  • Why is there  a difference in the quantity display in Mp VS infosets?

    hi all,
    I have created an multi provider with 4 ods and as well as infosets with 4 ods. I have created a query with the same infobjects and selection parameters for multi provider and infoset. But i am getting a difference in the result.
    my multi provider query report display
    cost   taxamount   billingunits
    1000     100          1
    my infoset query report displays
    cost    taxamount   billingunits
    55000  5500          55
    Why is there in difference between these query? can anyone help me on this.
    thanxs

    Hi ,
    The Mutliprovider is a Union.So  it depends on the characterstics you have identified when activating the MP.
    The Infoset is an intersection and and also depends on the join condition you have defined.Also check the if you have created and Inner Join or Left outer join on the Infoset.
    Also as you know,the chararcterstics defined as keys also needs to be confirmed.It also depends on what elevel of granularity are your running the report.
    Obviously you cannot compare a report based on MP and an infoset.

  • Why was there over ten thousand file in my "All My Files" on my new MBP. I'm very new at using ICloud. I don't understand syncing vs time vs time vs syncing! I simply have not idea how to manage my file now.

    Why is there over ten thousand file in my "All My Files" on my new MBP. I'm very new at using ICloud. I don't understand syncing vs time vs time vs syncing! I simply have not idea how to manage my files now. I read short comments & how to's in the support sections, but nothing I've read so far explains"best practices" or turning iCloud off to get a grip on managing files. I have 250gb fast storage on the MBP itself, and 200gb in the ICloud, one would thing that's enough. The files seem too be multiplying like rabbits. IPhoto's Faces has created hundereds of "somethings" not sure what. I am sure I am very frustrated! Please comment with kindness.

    Yes,I am confused. To say its just another drive is a "buzz statement".
    OK, for example. If I download a document, song, or photo from ICloud, as I understand, it goes to Download in Finder. If I want to move it to a local folder of my choice on the solid state drive in my new MBP, does a copy always stay in ICloud? How do you housekeep? I have always  used to a physical drive. What is different about the mind set.  I used ICloud to store the contents of my old MBP. Once I download all the files I need, should I turn off ICloud and manage the file locally? I don't like the automatic movement of files when I don't understand the locations.
    Nope, you don't understand it.
    If you download a song from the iTunes cloud storage (which is not iCloud) it goes into the iTunes music folder (generally to a subfolder therein)
    If you download a document from the iCloud drive it will go wherever you chose to put it.
    If you download a photo from the iCloud Photo library it will also go wherever you choose to put it.*
    If you move something you have not copied it, if you want to keep a copy on the iCloud drive and in a local folder, you would copy, not move it.
    There is no 'automatic' movement, you decide what to store on the iCloud drive (exactly like any other drive) and what to remove.
    The iCloud drive appears as a folder in Finder, you use it just like any other, copy/paste, save, delete etc.
    You can turn the iCloud drive off whenever you like, download the content to a local drive first.
    * Because the iCloud drive appears as a folder in Finder there is in fact no need to ever download anything to your Mac, everything on the drive is already on your Mac.

        I know it's important to understand your charges cvette52. Have you been able to review your statements to match up this charge? Do you have postpaid or prepay service with us? Wireless or landline?

  • Why is there a difference between LR4 image and PS-CS5 version which is much darker

    if i get an image to look great in LR4 (v. 2012) after upgrading the cat from LR3,(version 2010) -  and it looks great in the new develop mode, then I open  up the image in the latest PS CS5, version 12.0.4 x64,  the image then looks much darker in PS and in no way matches the image in LR 4.
    NOT ACCEPTABLE! WHY, Adobe?? 
    I'm on a 64 bit Mac, OS 10.6.8  -- my catalogue settings in LR are for the largest monitor, highest preview, don't discard... and it writes changes immediately to xmp
    is it because the RAW processor in PS doesn't yet match the one in lightroom? and it won't be the same till CS6 is out, and I upgrade to that?  Adobe says all my software is up to date. How do I get things to match? never had this problem with LR3 or any earlier version. What's up?  I'm not on the beta - i just downloaded the real thing from Adobe - read all about it online and I've been very comfortable wiuith LR for years, but I should be able to hit command E on my mac and open it up in PS, looking exactly the same in PS as the image in Lightroom. the new develop mode in LR4 is awesome - so much better than LR3 which was so much better than 2. Why is this happening? How do i get the images to match? what am i doing wrong, if anything? any clues anyone? thanks in advance.          ( would love to include a sample, but I don't see how i can attach a scressn shot of the two.)
    anyone?
    owen

    thanks for replying, Jeff. You may be a user ( that sounds funny )  but you are certainly one well connected user.  thanks for getting back,
    I just click command E  using the shortcut for "edit in CS5." I never go to the menu, if i know the shortcut.  My basic color settings for PS has for years been what i have set up as a ProPhoto /rel. colorimetric color space on both PS... and in LR, my edit in PS-CS5 set up is for a PSD in 16 bit ProPhoto as well - should look the same, right?  You'll probably scold me for saving as a layered PSD instead of a layered tiff - I can't remember why - but I do have my PS preference set for ALWAYS maximize PSD and PSB compatability. Could you give me your advice and reason for tiff vs PSD. I hear that PSD can be "less efficient" than tiff with respect to metadata updates. Not sure exactly what less eficient means or what problems may arise with PSDs.
    Years ago I got into RAW files with the D65 workshops with Seth Resnick and Jamie,before there ever was a lightroom - in fact i first downloaded the first ACR plug in from adobe before it became a part of PS -    ( early 2003? ) - and perhaps you pixel geniuses don't always see eye to eye on certain things but i respect both of your opinions and your work and I'm thankful that you are both out there helping us... and Thomas and all the hard working people at Adobe too.
    So...  after posting, in the deveop mode in LR4 - I switched process versions from 2010- (there was a slight change)- then i switched it back to 2012 - then reopened the file ( exported it to CS5 ) in PS - and lo and behold - it all looked good. the lightroom and PS versions looked like a match - perhaps I should chalk this up to user error. not sure.
    that said,  when i take a canon CR2 file and just drop it into PS on my dock and it opens in CS5's ACR - I still see the ACR equivalent of LR3- which is to say - the exposure, recovery, fill light system- not the new development modality of exposure/contrast - highlights, shadows, whites and blacks -- do you know if we have to wait for CS6 to see the new ACR that matches Lightroom4 - or is an update soon forthcoming? what do you say, Big Guy?
    and many thanks for your attention, your knowledge , and your sense of humor.

  • Why is there a difference of 17GB in storage remaining between 'about this mac' and the hdd in finder?

    I am running Mavericks on my macbook air. I had approx 17gb of movies which I transfered to my external drive and then deleted them. When i checked my storage space in 'about my mac' it says i have 17.5gb remainin which should read around 35gb. When i open up finder and click the 'i' tab on my hdd it says there is 35gb remaining which is as it should be. Please help, it's doing my head in. I never had any dramas running mountain lion!

    If you have Time Machine turned on, the difference could be the Local Backups the system is storing temporarily until you sync to your Time Machine backup drive. Sice those files are "low priority" and will be overwritten by the user if required, the Finder does not acknowledge them as "used". However, the profiler will count them as used.
    See if syncing yoru Time Machine "resets" for the one showing less space available.

  • HT1689 Why is there a limit on the size of apps I can download in the App Store using 3G/4G?

    I understand that this is helpful for those that have limited data each month, but for me, and I'm sure everyone else who has unlimited data, this is just a nuisance and rather frustrating. I'm in the Air Force and where I am right now I have zero access to personal wifi. I am unable to update or download many apps. The download limit should at least be optional. Android has that figured out, why can't Apple? I love my iPhone, but I am extremely annoyed with this.

    The limit is there because Apple and the carriers have decided it should be. Submit your feedback directly to Apple using the appropriate link on the Feedback page:

  • Why are there print differences between Reader and Acrobat Pro

    I have a PDF file generated by InDesign (CS3). When I print the PDF from Reader (8.1.4) I get lighter text than when the same file is printed by Acrobat Pro (9.1.0). A close examination of the printed letters shows that the text printed from Reader is not solid black, while the text from Pro is solid black.
    Is this typical or is there something I need to do to improve the printing from Reader?

    I am a CADD Coord. (CADD Mgr)designer) I used to do a lot of design. Just recently we have noticed that anything printed from Adobe, the reader or the full version, is printing so lightly in many cases that it looks like it is missing data. whenever we create teh PDF from Autodesk products or Bluebeam Revue, it is the same. Bluebeam prints perfect. Yet the exact same file printed through Adobe is very, very light. Even printing as image it does this. And it appears at random. Some people print ok, but the exact same printer sent by someone else, using the same method, comes out too light in Adobe.
    I have contacted Autodesk and they have punted it back. Anyone have any answers or clues to fix? i send out deliverables for clients all the time and I hate to find out they print and miss something of the design.

  • Why would there be an increase in size?

    I have had a couple of ipods, all 8gb. Each time I got a new one I cleared my itunes library and started again, and all the music I put on my ipods were taken from my cds. I could always get around 2000 songs to add up to 8gb.
    Before I cleared itunes a few days ago there was 1562 songs in my library and they added up to 6.39gb (which has always been about the same, as in that amount of songs for that amount of storage). I have now been reloading my music onto itunes, the same songs of the same cds and currently I have 679 songs in the library and it's telling me they add up to 6.30gb
    So before:
    1562 = 6.39gb
    And now:
    679 = 6.30gb
    I don't understand. I'm taking the exact same songs off the exact same cds that I have always used

    Previously on the devices summary tab in iTunes did you have 'Convert higher rate bit songs to 128 kbps AAC' ticked ? Though obviously that won't make difference if your songs are already below that.

  • Why is there a restriction on window size in Pages 5.0? And is there a way to make the window smaller anyway?

    I like to work with multiple windows open on the same screen at once. Now the smallest allowed width of the window takes up over half the screen (I have a 13 inch macbook)! This restriction is here whether or not I am zoomed in or out. Can I get aroundt this???

    The quickest way is to print to a new PDF and use shrink to fit. Be sure you set the paper size in the printer properties. Normally this is not recommended, but it is a quick approach. You would loss any bookmarks and other markup with the print.

  • Why are there symmetry differences on Ipad or Windows ? ( for sketchbook express)

    On windows (surface 3) i can select x and y symmetry and on Ipad version only one axis symmetry. Is there a way to have both axis on Ipad?
    will the pro version on ipad have it?

    Sketchbook Express and Pro are actually made by Autodesk, not Adobe.
    That being said, Sketchbook Pro is a great app; I've been using it for a month or so, since Adobe took the ol' "*shrug* maybe we'll get around to it if we feel like it" line with regards to development of an Android version of Sketch.
    Since this is an Adobe forum, you'd probably be better off asking over at Autodesk.
