Can't understand why audio files always take a lot of space on my macbook

Hi everyone, I apologize if this has been asked before, I'm going cross-eyed trying to find an answer.

Stupidly, I didn't use iCloud DOES NOT mean that all my music and photos would be stored on the cloud and take MUCH space on my macbook. I discovered the hard way. So I'm moving all my pictures and music on an external drive. All well and dandy. Except that since I moved my iTunes library and all my music files, when I look at my storage, it shows still 154 GB allocated to audio. (Meanwhile there are now 140 GB Audio on my seagate SOMETHING that was supposed to happen happened.) I've looked everywhere, I can't understand why there are still some 154 GB of audio files on my laptop. Any suggestions or tips are greatly appreciated. Please be lenient, I was on a pc for a few decades and finally crossed the step last year, but I'm still confused by all this cloud stuff and find my way in on a mac. (I'm on OS X Yosemite). I guess it's one thing to iTunes, but I could be far away.

Thank you in advance.

I guess that after you copied the folder iTunes external hard disk, you checked if everything is there, then deleted the folder iTunes on your Mac drive.

If NOT, then you know what to do.

If so, force Spotlight to reindex the reader.

iTunes: link again or external HD library:

* Open iTunes while holding down Option (Mac) or shift (Windows).

* In the dialog box, click Choose library.

* Select the iTunes folder that you moved to the external hard drive.

* Click on choose (Mac OS X) or open (Windows), and then choose the library inside iTunes file.

    This is not a supported feature. If the PDF is secured and you have the legal rights to extract the audio, it would be possible to locate and unzip the PDF file raw file data using third-party tools as follows the structure of the file of low-level (a hex editor or editor Cos) - but Acrobat can not help you.

  • Can't understand why this query returns multiple lines with the same data

    Hi all
    I am a relative novice and self-taught when it comes to SQL. I wrote a query to our reporting tool that returns multiple rows, and I can't understand why. I know that I can use the SELECT DISTINCT option, but it really slows the execution when I do. I'd really rather understand if I can change the code to avoid the multiples. This is the query. I've included a few statements in italics to help explain the break. Any ideas?

    SELECT MATSITE, MATPONUM, FIRSTRECPTDATE
    Of
    Subquery that concludes the first date on which purchase orders have been implemented with ACK State
    (SELECT ACKSTAT. PONUM AS 'ACKPONUM', (MIN (ACKSTAT. CHANGEDATE)) AS 'FIRSTACKDATE '.
    OF PZMAX. POSTATUS ACKSTAT
    WHERE (ACKSTAT. STATE = 'ACK') AND (ACKSTAT.ORGID ='CGSALTUS)
    GROUP OF ACKSTAT. PONUM),
    Subquery that concludes the first reception against a purchase order transaction for purposes of comparison
    (SELECT TRANS. PONUM AS "MATPONUM", TRANS. SITEID AS 'MATSITE', (MIN (TRANS. TRANSDATE)) AS 'FIRSTRECPTDATE '.
    OF PZMAX. MATRECTRANS TRANS
    WHERE (TRANS.ORGID ='CGSALTUS) AND (TRANS. HOUR > =: startDate and TRANS. TRANSDATE < =: endDate)
    TRANS GROUP. SITEID, TRANS. PONUM)
    WHERE
    (ACKPONUM = MATPONUM AND FIRSTRECPTDATE < FIRSTACKDATE) OR (NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM PZMAX. POSTATUS ACKSTAT2 WHERE (ACKSTAT2. PONUM = MATPONUM) AND (ACKSTAT2. STATE = 'ACK') AND (ACKSTAT2.ORGID ='CGSALTUS)))

    The where the instruction is intended to find when one of two conditions exists. ((1) received happened before the command either in ACK or 2) a reception that's happened, but the purchase order is never in ACK State. It seems that this second condition that creates multiple lines.

    Any thoughts will be appreciated geratly.

    CC and CC 2014 are separate apps, you can uninstall the version that is not necessary, CC 2014 is the latest version.

    No, I don't think. Just about anything in the Windows directory cannot be moved. You will need to find another way to clear disk space. Try to compress your drive hard (if you don't know how, ask).

  • can't understand why an extract of the database restore fails (missing archive logs)

    Dear,

    I'm completely back up my database ensures every night with following statement.

    full backup AS BACKUPSET COMPRESSED ORCL_FULL_STBY format database tag ' / oradata/archive/fast_recovery_area/%d_%T_%s_%p_FULL_STBY' more tag ORCL_FULL_STBY archivelog delete all entries;

    I wanted to check with 'restore... Preview' if my backup is good enough to restore the database from scratch.
    result = failed!
    Reason:
    "any backup log archived for thread 1 with sequence 65 and YVERT departure from 49020676 found to restore."

    I have read the documentation oracle and articles for days, but I did not understand that even though I take online backup yesterday if I want to restore my database today I still need archival newspapers last month?

    can you please review my analysis and tell me where I am doing wrong?

    for example a piece from my last backup;

    Time of accomplishment BS key Type LV size device Type elapsed time

    as you can see "Cash SNA" is 50570723 so tells me that my understanding if restore these backups I need archived newspapers on top of the YVERT.
    for me the best candidate is

    When I look at V$ ARCHIVED_LOG I see seems indeed to these archived logs removed for cause of "more tag ORCL_FULL_STBY archivelog delete all entries ' that they have been deleetd after saving.
    and because of my retention policy and script; I remove the logs also archived backups that are more than 2 days.

    I still don't understand why rman complains of the archived logs that are for an older sequence (SNA) as my last backup
    because I was assuming that the concerned newspapers archived should have already applied to these files of data, right?

    My final goal is to deliver below for the case that we have lost everything.

    Run {}
    restore the database;
    recover the database;
    }
