Will Rebuild Index (use brspace) also release hard disk space ?

Dear all,
I use brspace to rebuild my SAP Oracle table weekly, I just want to know :
Other than index reubuild, will brspace also release hard disk space to me because I found some times, after having index reubild, my free hard disk space increases.
Am I correct ?

> I use brspace to rebuild my SAP Oracle table weekly, I just want to know :
Why the heck are you doing that? Too much time?
> Other than index reubuild, will brspace also release hard disk space to me because I found some times, after having index reubild, my free hard disk space increases.
Whatever freed space on your harddisk, it had nothing to do with the Index rebuilds!
Once allocated Oracle won't ever release space in the filesystem unless you drop or resize datafiles.

Lars

Compressor 4 is using all my hard disk space?!

I have a Mac Pro, 3.7 Ghz Quad-Core Intel, 12 GB Memory.
Im trying to compress a video from FCP X (10.1.3), but Compressor (4.1.3) is using all of my hard disk space. The video I am trying to compress has 4 one minute HD interview segments and about 100 different photos. It's a tribute video that combines both forms of media into a presentation. The total time for the video is 11:23.
The project library itself works off an external hard drive that has 1.45 TB available. The only thing that goes locally to my hard disk are the FCP X backup folders.
I received a message saying that I needed more Virtual Memory, but am having a hard time understanding virtual memory and how to free up more of it.
Any advice?

This is the message from my last attempt.

In PSE will I use more hard-disk space by using iPhoto plus Organizer for photos?

I have PSE 10 on my MAC. I normally download my photos onto iPhoto (and a while ago, onto Bridge CS3 which came with an earlier version of PSE) but more recently have become interested in using the PSE Organizer for my photo library. I have started to transfer/copy the photos from iPhoto but, having read various topics on organizing photos, am a little worried that by having the photos in 2/3 places on the MAC I will use much more hard-disk space. I know that the original files for iPhoto are in the 'Library' so that I just see thumbnails on iPhoto ( I may be wrong here?), but will the photos I now have on Organizer be working off those same 'Library' originals or am I doubling up on the space required to store these photos?

For information my iPhoto is v 9.5.1 and would seem not to like .dng files so won't load them (I am using the Adobe RAW to DNG 8.3 Converter at the moment mainly because I would have to upgrade to PSE12 to get the RAW plug-in to process my Lumix G-6 RAW files, which is fairly expensive and, even then, my iPhoto would still be the same version unless I upgraded that as well!).
I can load the RAW files onto iPhoto but when I then send them to PSE or iPhoto itself for editing they seem to be automatically converted to .jpg and do not have the usual RAW editing selection palette. However, the PSE Organizer seems happy to accept the .dng files (but not the RAW files) and when sent to PSE for editing I do get the RAW type palette, so it looks like storing my .dng files in Organizer is a good idea and, therfore, I might as well store other photos there as well rather than run two different organizers - I will leave the photos in Bridge as they are.
If you are talking about photos not in iphoto, this is correct. If you use "from iPhoto" you will get automatic duplicates of the originals in a new location. If you export them manually and use from files and folders, yes, the organizer just makes a thumbnail.
This paragraph made me think! I'm pretty sure that when I decided to transfer my photos from iPhoto into PSE Organizer I used "from iPhoto" as this seemed the easiest way. Does this mean that I have duplicated the file size of my iPhoto library and am therefore using much more hard-disc space than if I had used "from files and folders" (getting just thumbnails)? The transfer seems to have pulled in a lot of folders! If this is the case, is there any way to go back and do it again but "from files and folders" next time?!
This is all rather complicated it would seem (or I'm making it that way!) and I really appreciate your help.

Using ipod as external hard disk between macbook and PC

Hello
I have formatted my ipod mini to the mac, but I also have a PC at home which I want to transfer files to and from. Can the ipod still be used as an external hard disk between the macbook and the PC or is that not possible?
Thanks

If your iPod is formatted for Mac it won't run natively on a PC because the Windows OS does not support the HFS Plus file system and therefore will not see the drive. XPlay for instance gets good reviews and has the added functionality to let you copy your songs back to iTunes. MacDrive from the same company is not iPod specific it's for connecting any Mac formatted drives, if you want to use your iPod as a removable storage device it will work for that. You can get XPlay and MacDrive at these links:
XPlay 2
MacDrive
You can read another user's experience of using XPlay at this link: iPod on Mac and Windows

Something is using up all my hard drive space?

Something is using up all my hard drive space and is under 'other' on about this mac..
When I use omi disk sweeper or grand perspective they don't show anything up as using 420GB lol.. So yeah any idea how I can find these hidden files?!
Thanks

ODS or GP can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
If you have more than one user account, make sure you're logged in as an administrator. The administrator account is the one that was created automatically when you first set up the computer.
Install the app you downloaded in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click anywhere in the corresponding line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
sudo /Applications/GrandPerspective.app/Contents/MacOS/GrandPerspective
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. Ignore any other messages that appear in the Terminal window.
The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders, sorted by size. It may take a few minutes for the app to finish scanning.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
When you're done with the app, quit it and also quit Terminal.

When i import movies from my iPhoto app to my iMovie app does it make a copy (thereby using double the hard disk space) or does it link to my iPhoto app? The reason i ask is i want to archive all my videos from iPhoto/iMovie. HELP!

Hi - I'm having the same problem with freeing up space on the HD. If I can't free space if I'm using any part of the clip, how can I split up the clips so that I can discard the part I won't use? This is crazy! I have only 4 GB of free space left!
Also, I've tried to transfer the project file to my external HD but I keep getting an error saying I can't transfer it. I've been told this is because I don't have enough space on the HD for the transfer. I tried a similar transfer with another computer with plenty of HD space but the same error occurred. Is there a way to break up the project file into small pieces for the transfer (I'm thinking the whole movie file is just too big)?
Thanks for any info!

18 GB of phantom hard disk space -- how do I find out what's using it?

My hard disk is full.
Only not really. Its total capacity is 148.6 GB. According to all publicly viewable sources (disk utility, etc) I am currently using 147.3 GB of that. Therefore I decided to examine every item the hard drive to determine what to erase.
My user folder is using approximately 96 GB of disk space. There are no errors here; I added up the subfolders and they do indeed come to approximately 96 GB (about 76 GB of this is music, thus the primary drain, which I'll probably transfer to an external disk in order to free up space). The other, system folders -- applications, library etc -- take up approximately 33 GB of disk space. I probably won't touch these save for applications I don't use, for fear of breaking something.
Put together this is approximately 129 GB. There is 1.3 GB listed as free. What happened to the rest?
What's using it? The trash is empty. There doesn't seem to be anything else on the hard drive to contribute to a space drain -- I totaled up every file and folder shown under the Macintosh HD view. This is a 17 inch MacBook Pro, from 2007, hard disk replaced in mid 2009 (it thus may be nearing the end of its natural lifespan anyway). At this point I would attempt a backup, format and restore but I don't know whether that would also wind up restoring whatever's using up the missing 18 GB. Or indeed whether this doesn't indicate a problem with the drive itself that formatting won't fix.

You can get rid of the sleepimage file if space is that tight, run Terminal and use the following:
To see or set the hibernate mode use the command
pmset -g | grep hibernatemode
Results:
0 - Old style sleep mode, with RAM powered on while sleeping, safe sleep disabled, and super-fast wake.
1 - Hibernation mode, with RAM contents written to disk, system totally shut down while “sleeping,” and slower wake up, due to reading the contents of RAM off the hard drive.
3 - The default mode on machines introduced since about fall 2005. RAM is powered on while sleeping, but RAM contents are also written to disk before sleeping. In the event of total power loss, the system enters hibernation mode automatically.
5 - This is the same as mode 1, but it’s for those using secure virtual memory (in System Preferences -> Security).
7 - This is the same as mode 3, but it’s for those using secure virtual memory.
To set (for example 0) use the command
sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0
The delete the sleepimage file using
cd /var/vm
sudo rm sleepimage

The MBA seems to cause several problems to several users on boot ups
On start up my MBA would not boot up the apple logo came on but only a blank screen appeared no fan i followed several start up recommendations but to no avail so I took the MBA to the nearest Apple repair centre again the same symptoms on start up ......very sorry sir you need a new mother board that will be $500 not feeling confidant in the product declined and was going to put it on ebay for spares.
On return home I pressed the start up button and it started normally everything was working fine i decided to reinstall all the software what has caused the problem I have no idea but it is after several attempted reboots it finally started on its own so don't give up if you have this problem it may come to life

Ziplight.mdimport/hard disk space loss?

I started noticing some major loss of hard disk space of late and this seems much worse after updating to 10.4.7 and installing the new iLife and iWork '06 packages. During installation of these sizable packages, it's to be expected; but after some monkeying around and restarting, I had over 5 GB. But now I find I'm hovering around 1 GB with nothing new added -- even after restarts.
Is anyone else experiencing this?
Using Disk Inventory X, I also see that something called Ziplight.mdimport is taking up 4 GB, and I have no idea what this is. Anyone there know?

Ziplight.mdimport is a plug-in that allows spotlight to search within and index the contents of zip files. This is third party. Any idea who installed it?
You may try to re-index your drive via terminal:
sudo mdutil -E /
Press return, key in your password and press return again. This will delete the index of your boot volume and recreate it. If you still have space problems you may have to get rid of Ziplight.

Losing Hard Disk Space

Hi All. I'm seriously losing hard disk space on my Macbook Pro 17 and it's been doing this heavily since I installed Lion.
My laptop has a 160GB hard drive. Out of this, I can add up only 70GB of files. Add another 20GB of free disk space so that totals 90GB. What's happened to the remaining 50GB hard disk space? Are there invisible files being written that I need to look for? Please help as this is really frustrating. Even using WhatSize doesn't add up to all the hard drive space I should have.

Naz Hussain wrote:
On mobile backups I only have 1.3MB. I use Time Machine but that goes to an external hard drive.
By default, Lion on notebook computers will also save backups to your local disk. If you have many large files that are changing, that could account for your space.
If any software is creating directories then I can't see it.
The curl and ffmpeg make me suspect that you have some torrent or peer-to-peer software. Such software would generate many large files that Time Machine's local snapshots would backup. It would also be likely to save such files in temporary directories that are hidden.

Missing hard disk space after sims 3 force quit

Hi, I failed to notice I had to update to the latest version of Leopard to install the game with the result that the installer got stuck repeatedly half way through and I could only force quit the installer.
The downside to this is that I did this twice and now I'm missing around 7 gigs of hard disk space....anyone know where I can find the files to delete or how I can regain that space?

DiskWarrior, as suggests nerowolfe, won't hurt for sure. It will repair damages done to files and the directory.
Maybe you could spot where the problem files are with this freeware, Disk Inventory X. You probably could identify files that are related to the game that are left on the hard drive. Did you do a Spotlight search to see if there any left?
And I'm also wondering if it wouldn't help to clean out all the caches in case there are temp files stuck in there? Download MainMenu and use it to clean out all the caches like so:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
For the system cache clean up, choose +Deep Clean+. You will need to restart after the caches have been cleared.
Report back to let us know how it goes. Good luck!

Hard disk space on your main drive to run system 10.6.8?

How much hard disk space on your main drive of a MacPro do you need to run system 10.6.8?
I also run Lightroom 4.4, and photoshop CS3
Thank you-

You need more like 50% free on the system.
you need or want 24-48GB RAM for CS6
You want to insure you do not use the boot drive for scratch which CS6 will and will use a lot and hurt performance
Having a couple SSDs on PCIe Sonnet Tempo Pro SSD $300 is a great place for L4/5 catalogue/library, or separate set for CS6 scratch
And all your media of course is not on the boot drive as well.
An SSD boot drive of 120GB $89 or larger, Some large/r SSDs for scratch or/and L4 of 250-750GB or even 1TB.
Lots of good tips on performance and configuring upgrade guides:

I need more hard disk space on my macbook pro

I need more hard disk space on my macbook pro

Since you have 160 GB listed as backups let's assume these are Time Machine snapshots. Time Machine will use up to 80% of the disk space for local snapshots. This is not an issue. As you fill your disk it willl remove snapshots to maintain at least 20% free. If you wish to free this space simply plug in a Time Machine backup disk and run a backup.
You might also notice that the Storage display in About This Mac will show the backup space as used while a Get Info on the sytem drive will show that space free. So at this point, if it is Time Machine snapshots that are taking the space, you should see 160 GB more free space from the Get Info query compared to the Storage display.
Summary: If this space is Time Machine snapshots then don't worry about it. It will take care of itself.
I do not recommend leaving Time Machine in the off state. It is a valuable backup tool that can save your bacon when you accidentally delete or modify a file or if your system crashes. The snapshots are backups at recent times that you can go back to should you delete or currupt a file, even if you do not have a Time Machine disk plugged in.

Why is my available hard disk space disappearing?

Hi,
Occasionally my hard disk space will start disappearing for no apparent (to me) reason. I'll have 15 gigs of available hard disk space that will disappear, and I'll get messages that I'm running out of disk space, interfering with what I'm doing.
After I restart my computer, it seems to reset, but I would like to stop it altogether (as, obviously, it's not always convenient to restart my computer in the middle of tasks.)
I tried Disk Utility, but it didn't find anything. Are there any other legit programs I should use to solve this and other general issues?
Or is it something I could fix myself (with only basic computer knowledge)?
Thanks!

What hard disk space required

Hello .I am a novice to Solaris .
I had posted a question earlier but got no reply.
1.I just want to know how much hard disk space is needed for installing the Solaris 8 OS (IA) . I have a 7.5 GB hard disk and I want to know if this will suffice.
2.If I get a 40GB hard disk , can I install both Windows XP and Solaris 8 on it on 2 different partitions ?
Please help;
Thanks

It requires 1.4 gig technically, but rarely uses over 750meg. You will have plenty of space. You should be able to load both os's on the 7 gig, adding another small drive in later as excess storage space for either OS.

Will Rebuild Index (use brspace) also release hard disk space ?
