After iPhoto deleting Library.migratedphotolibrary why not get all this disk space?

I've migrated photos on my Mac (OS 10.11.2) months ago.

I talked to AppleCare just before and I was told that I could remove the old Library.migratedphotolibrary iPhoto after confirmation of everything was in pictures and Photos Library.photoslibrary.

I did, and they are, so I removed the old library thought I would free 113 GB of disk space on my MBP. The old library was the size and the new library is 128 GB because it has ceased to grow since the migration into Photos, and everything seems to be there.

So I moved iPhoto Library.migratedphotolibrary into the trash and empty the trash. It took some time for the trash to empty! But once completed, instead of 113 GB of space to reclaim it seems that I only got back around 10 GB of space.

Why is this? Were two libraries really sharing pointers to the same pictures?

Thank you

Doug

  • Remove old unused files to get more hard disk space

    I have a Mac Pro with a 1 TB hard drive, and it is almost full with only 5 GB of space.  I put my Premiere Pro projects on an external drive, but somehow my main drive is full of coded yellow 'other' files that I suspect are Adobe Premiere.  I went into preferences and 'cleaned' media, but I'm still left without HD space.  I need to put more video projects on the computer, but as I began to do HD disk space increased to 124MB left.  My iPhoto library is 200 GB and I'd love to keep those, but where are the files that take place that 'other' list?  ('Other' is going to the Apple, by choosing about this Mac by clicking on more information and at the top of the next window, select storage).

    I have three other internal hard drives that have virtually all of the files 'yellow '.  But given that Apple does not specifically list them I don't know where are to remove them, I don't know what to delete.

    Any help here with identification unnecessary files to get the primary disk space?

    Thank you

  • socket InputStream does not get all the data, please help

    I've been doing stuff of network on blackberry for quite awhile, but still using the http connection.

    I have to use the socket for a piece of my application connection, but could not do the work.

    This code is what I do

    String url =

    "socket: / / ' + rmserver + ': ' + rmport;

    Socket SocketConnection = Connector.open (url) (SocketConnection);

    socket.setSocketOption (SocketConnection.KEEPALIVE, 1);

    OutputStream = socket.openOutputStream ();

    InputStream = socket.openInputStream ();

    send something here using outputstream

    int

    If (f > 0) {}

    do somwthing

    }

    AV is always 0.

    I don't know that my server sends data successfully. I run the network packet capture tool etheal on the MDS Server, I can see given reached MDS Server, but they never come to my device app.

    The outputstream works very well, I can send data from my application and my server code gets all of them.

    Where should I check? If it is http, I can turn on the debugging http on MDS log and see all network traffic, but for the socket connection, data packet is not connected (or I missed where it is).

    Is someone can you please tell me where I should go to understand why?

    Please try the suggestion to remove the check mark on InputStream.available.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones not get all my emails on Blackberry "BOLD"

    2 questions that I would like to get help please:

    I love my new "BOLD", but I get only a fraction of the main emails from my Outlook of the POP account hit my Blackberry. I use the same e-mail address but sometimes get a handful of emails on the "BOLD" and charges on my main PC.

    Also, when I delete a message on the box to the letters and Pocket it rarely (maybe not at all) deletedsthe message on my main PC.

    I had the Blackberry to avoid lugging my laptop all the time but does not not right again!

    You don't have the right settings, and you need to remember that on a persona BIS account, your BlackBerry service will not reconcile message removes it from your computer to your BlackBerry. It is not designed for this function. It will reconcile your deletions FROM the e-mail server (that is not your desktop PC) to your BlackBerry, in some cases, depending on the type of e-mail (POP or IMAP) server you have.

    For missed email does not come to your "BOLD", it is probably because you have to adjust a setting in your Outlook settings, I've detailed below.

    IF you use Outlook to download your email on your desktop PC, Outlook is probably "remove" mail from your email server when it downloads on your PC.

    There is a setting in Outlook to "Leave Messages on server".

    For MS Outlook 2003:
    1. Outlook > tools > e-mail accounts > view or change existing > next.
    2. Select the e-mail account > change > additional settings.
    3. Advanced tab > leave a copy of Messages on the server
    4. check this box.

    * You will need to make this change for each Outlook e-mail account, you have.

    Other versions of Outlook have a similar setting, although it can be found in a slightly different place of the: Advanced settings.

  • Why not import all my favorites?

    When I try to import my IE Favorites, they fail to import & I find myself alone with an empty folder labelled "from Internet Explorer. I have the add-on EverSync installed so I can save my favorites in case something goes wrong. I have 447 bookmarks stored there, but I am only able to restore 325 of them in Firefox. This particular module also works for Chrome, and I tested it out there to see if it was the add-on. I was able to get all 447 of my favorites, so I know that this issue is not caused by this specific add-on. I'm sure that's not plugin or module associated with, but maybe I'm wrong. I use Firefox for a long time and have never experienced a problem like this before with it. I'd love to continue to use Firefox, but here the bookmark problem solved please. Thank you.

    Problems with bookmarks and history does not properly can be caused by a corrupted database places.sqlite file.

    You can check for problems with the database places.sqlite file in the Firefox profile folder.

    Change the screen resolution

    Screen resolution refers to the clarity of the text and images on your screen. At higher resolutions, items appear sharper. They appear also smaller, so more items adapted to the screen. At lower resolutions, fewer items adapted to the screen, but they are larger and easier to see. At very low resolutions, however, images may have serrated edges.

  • After Run DEFRAG in VISTA has lost 37 GB of disk space

    I ran disk cleanup after my loss of hard drive space that remove all restore points except last option and I do not recover FROM my concert 37 loss of hard drive space.  What does Windows Vista DEFRAG! ???  He dé-compresser some old compressed files?  In addition, during the execution of the "System Tools" folder defragmentation, there no option to see you an analisys "REPORT" of the hard drive before or after the execution of the actual DEFRAGMENTATION.  In addition, for a disk hard 320 GB with ANY other running application (3 GB of memory on an AMD Turion TL-60 2.00 GHz HP Laptop) it took more than 24 hours for the defragmentation to finish.  Help!  I want my rear disc space!

    Hello Halima,

    It was an excellent and informative answer...  If you read my other two messages about this problem, I explained that I am very aware of the technical aspects of DEFRAG as system support for environments IBM Mainframe using IBM DEFAG back in the early 1980s.  My main concern was what happened to my DISK space.  Your reply explained what actually happened.  A little more complete history: it is a new DRIVE that I had just put into service (used CMS of TRANSFER of DATA to copy the entire volume, including the OS) upgrade to 160 GB to 320 GB.  He had worked flawlessly for two weeks.  I decided that I wanted a copy of my hard drive again and that he wanted to 'clean & not fragmented' volume before I copied it to a NEW 320 GB volume spare.  It was when I Defraged this week two used the volume I had my 'problem '.  I could get my space by manually deleting some files work and execution 'OWN DISC' system with deletes everything except the last system restore file.  Thanks for your time in my question ansewring.

  • can I delete old updates of windows to free up disk space?

    I was wondering if there is no safe way to remove old updates from windows on windows xp for free disk space.

    You can even if it is not recommended, you may move them to another location, like a flashdrive if disk space is a problem.

    "Uninstall folders that have (for example in the framework of the name
    $NtUninstallKB282010$ who reside in C:\windows (hidden files) are window
    Hot Fix update of the folders/files) can be removed safely (providing you never)
    wish to uninstall updates). I recommend leaving these records for
    a period of at least a month to make sure that the update works correctly.

    These updates can be removed individually or together. Learn more
    on the update/s go to:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/?kbid=xxxxxx
    NB: XXXXXX = the actual number, not to mention the "Q" or "Ko."

    Once you have removed the uninstall folders/files, then go to control panel,
    Add/Remove programs. Select the fix title corresponding Windows on the
    Update folder/file you just remove and select Remove. You will get a
    Windows error. This is because you deleted the uninstall folder/files.
    Simply choose OK and the entry will be removed from Add/Remove programs
    List. »

    Important: Do not touch/move/delete or do anything with the record of $ $hf_mig. Leave only one.

    NB - the above applies only to Windows XP.
