Beachball of death / impossible to find movie files shown in disk utility

Then, I started having the awesome beachball.  All the time.  I tried first aid utility disk, in addition to empty my cache dyld.  Seems to have worked.  Looking for a solution to this as well as when I ran disk utility, it shows that I have 380 + GB of movies.  And hoping the clearing space will decrease the appearance of the beachball if nothing else.

I realized that I had a bunch of movies sitting in a folder I have is no longer necessary, so I deleted, emptied the Recycle Bin and rebooted.  Twice.  And disk utility still shows that I have who have lots of space consumed by the movies.  I did a search through the fichiers.mp4/.mov/.m4v/etc finder and come up with very little.

Is there something else I can / does not?  I'm not really wanting to download third party software however.

And it is solved after leaving it alone for a while.  Probably just needs some behind the scenes stuff to happen.

    Hi Newsletter,
    Welcome to Microsoft Windows Forums!

    I suggest to convert mov files to a different file format and then run. You will need to use a third-party tool to convert mov files.

    You may need to get in touch with quick time if there is a problem with it.

  • USB drive will not appear in the finder, but is OK in disk utility

    My "music backup" external USB 1 TB SSD showed in the Finder, until a few days ago, when he disappeared. I tried dismantling and Assembly of the command line. The said command-line editing is successful, but I still don't see the drive in Finder.

    If I go into disk utility "First aid" reports no problem. The drive is formatted for OS X.  If I right click and say "Open in the Finder" I can see all the folders and even drag in the sidebar where they work, even after a reboot. I can't see the drive at a higher level.

    How can I fix it? I guess a solution would be to create a folder called "Music disc" and then move all files on the disc in it and then put it on the sidebar, but it seems silly. How can I get my hard drive appears again in the finder.

    PS Si I use a third-party file manager, such as ordering a PRO, the USB drive is available for selection in the drop-down list of disks attached.

    Help!

    The Finder, choose utilities go to menu, open the Script Editor and run:

    the shell script ' chflags nohidden ' / Volumes/VolumeName /'.

    put the name of the drive where is VolumeName.

    You can't see the files at the level of the ASMDISK, this info is only available at the level of the DISKGROUP.

    Oracle ASM spreads data evenly across all disks in a disk group to optimize the performance and usage. So, the DATA_002 ASMDISK has a piece (extensions) of all files stored on the DISKGROUP.

    For example, if there are six disks in a disk group, and then pieces of each Oracle ASM file are written in all six disks. These pieces are called extensions. In this scenario, these pieces are in blocks of 1 MB. When a database file is created, it is striped (divided into degrees and distributed) through the six diskettes and allocated disk space on six discs increases uniformly.

  • MOV files in Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 - XDCAM (MPEG) MPEG 1/2 (xdvc) resp.

    Description of the problem:

    I got a bunch of MOV files on a disk formatted HFS + for editing on Premiere Pro CS5 (5.0.3). When I import to Premiere, first said "Codec missing or unavailable. Paragon HFS + is used to manage the disk formatted HFS +. I copied the data to a disc formatted NTFS before use.

    Research, I gave the following indications:

    I tried to play in Quicktime and Quicktime said that I would need additional software to play the .mov file. But I could run the detective movie and it shows "XDCAM EX 1080i 50 (35 Mb/s VBR).

    VLC plays (!) and says it's a "video Mpeg 1/2 (xdvc)"

    MediaInfo said "MPEG video (XDCAM).

    The sound is PCM (L) according to inspector mov programs.

    The MPEG2 format seems to be supported by first (also in HD), forum entries tell me that I should be in version 5.0.2 as it Adobe supports the MOV container. So now my question: what am I missing?

    I have no idea on the camera used to film, but it could be a JVC, as it says that the JVC writes mov files.

    OK, let's go:

    1. Get an accumulation of static electricity of FFmpeg here: FFmpeg Windows builds of HawkEye. The 32-bit version is fine.
    2. Open the file from archive downloaded and go to the folder "bin"; ffmpeg.exe extract to a folder containing your SBDAs.
    3. Create a new text document in the folder with FFmpeg and the media, called 'mov2mp4.bat' files by making sure that you change the .txt extension to. bat.
    4. Open the text document and paste the following text:
      @ECHO OFF
      for %%a in (*.mov) do ffmpeg.exe -i "%%a" -vcodec copy -an -f mp4 "%%~na".mp4
      
    5. Save the document (even once, ensuring, it has a .bat extension), double-click it in the Explorer. The batch file runs and every MOV in the file processing and repackaging it in a MP4 container. It is lossless (there is no transcoding) and should go relatively quickly. Note that this is not also copy the audio, so you do not have the video files only. The resultant MP4s will perfectly be important in first.

    Let me know how it goes!

  • Disk utility does not not what Time Machine backup connected / file Vault question?

    Hi all

    I'm on Mac OSX El Capitan 10.11.3 (15 d 21) on a Macbook Pro 8.2 (early 2011)

    Previously, when File Vault was not activated I've been able to backup on my external drive for Time Machine (1 TB store Transcend jet) and the drive was visible when opening disk utility no problem...

    Now since I have encrypted my first Macintosh HD using File Vault, my disk utility program will not load when my Time Machine (unencrypted) external backup disk is connected, and I can not back up by using the application Time Machine (the player is simply not visible).

    When my external drive for Time Machine is not connected, my disk utility opens very well and I can see my Macintosh HD all external USB drives.

    I tried to re-boot, I tried to disconnect all external devices, I tried to connect the Time Machine drive with two USB ports and I tried to open the first disk utility, and then connect the external drive for Time Machine without success.

    Anyone else have experience with this problem or something similar? Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you very much!

  • My Outlook Express gives me an 0x800C0133 error. Impossible to delete my messages from the Inbox. Also, I don't find the file indox.dbx.

    I read the post on the copy the messages from the Inbox to another folder.  I tried, but get an error message.  I decided that I would just delete all but the messages will not delete.  I used the search function of windows to search for inbox.dbx, but he could not find the file.  I have a large number of messages in my Inbox and its ok if I lose all.  I get the error message when I start outlook express and download messages from my pop3 e-mail.  It still downloads messages from one of my other emails which is also a pop3 server.  I have windows xp pro and it is completely up to date.  Thank you...

    Hello craigalene,

    This issue may occur because of corrupted inbox in Outlook express.

    Perform the following troubleshooting steps and check if this solves the problem.

    Step 1:

    Create a new folder and move all mail from your Inbox to the new folder in Outlook Express.

    Follow these steps:

    a. click on the file menu.

    b. Select the folder and select new.

    c. give an appropriate name for the folder.

    d. Select all mails in the inbox and move to a different folder.

    e. move mail to the new folder.

    Step 2:

    I suggest to delete the Inbox.dbx file in your computer.

    In Windows XP Outlook Express files user (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under Start, Control Panel, Folder Options and view.

    Follow the steps to delete the Inbox.dbx file.

    a. close Outlook Express.

    b. use the search option to find the box of Inbox.dbx.

    c. delete the Inbox.dbx file.
