Files storage shows "phantom".

What happens to me all the time. My computer tells me that the disc is in such or such capability with any remaining space. Normally it's a flash drive and I just delete it in the disc utilities and the problem is solved. But now my HDD does this to me. It is said that there are 171 GB of files only from videos. I know for a fact that there are only about 20 GB of videos.

Not to mention all the files on my computer, I could not impossible to know if my computer is telling me that the figures right for its storage. But I have a strong feeling that there is no where close to this amount of space used. (And I made sure that the trash is empty). Does anyone know what I need to do?

In addition, I was considering upgrading the operating system more recent, but I think I have to take care of that first.

Thank you.

Start with the reconstruction of the Spotlight database. System-> light-> privacy preferences, slide the drive in the list, then delete the list again. This will force Spotlight to reindex.

  • How can I get the jpg files to show after recovery?

    So, I accidentally deleted permanently about 4 000 pictures on my computer today. I found a recovery program that could get back them. Unfortunately, I couldn't have my phone to allow my office transfer images here (for an external hard drive). I advanced and retrieved the files on the hard drive even I had deleted the same if there was a possibility of problems. I discovered that one of the problems is a jpeg images wouldn't show.

    My question is, is it possible to get the jpg files to show? Or am I just more or no chance?

    Thanks for any help.

    It seems that some of the recovered image files are corrupt and are therefore not visible. Microsoft® Security MVP, 2004-2010

  • The Adobe file storage

    So, I'm from Russia and I have a question regarding the storage of files Adobe. I am a member of a Adobe Creative Cloud membership for photographers. I have CC with Lightroom and Photoshop CC installed on my PC. I'll buy a Wacom 2 companion for retouching photos outdoors and at home, of course. But my photos on my hard drive takes approximately 130 GB and this numder continues to grow.

    So having a companion of Wacom 2 I want to have access to all my photos everywhere and so I need online file storage. But Adobe may provide only 20 GB for only one. What can I do in this case? What file storage online should I choose for better synchronization and connection beetwen Wacom Companion 2 and LIghtroom catalogs on my PC?

    And probably Adobe can provide more GB in storage of files?  For example, iCloud can provide 1000GB for $ 10 per month.

    I'm sorry for my English and mistakes if I have done so)))

    I doubt that Adobe will do anything, regardless of what their customers want to see done differently.  If Adobe has these plans as well as more and more storage space, it is unlikely that anyone who has such knowledge would be allowed to advertise to the public because of confidentiality requirements.

  • Local storage shows as inactive in the web client

    Hello

    So I have a strange problem. On two of my guests, local storage shows as inactive in vCenter. I can access it without problem and there seems to be problems, but it is a bit concerning to see the alert whenever I am connected.

    However, when I checked in the thick client this error is not there. It is only in the web client for a reason any. I tried to restart the management agents, update storage adapters, and a new analysis of storage, but it has not changed.

    No idea what can be the cause and if it's something to worry about?

    Thank you!

    Please reboot the host and see again in the Web Client.

    Hi thomasr1953,

    You will need to uncheck 'Open documents as tabs... new' under ' Edit > Preferences > general "so that the two PDF files open in separate windows.

    Then, you can drag the second file to the second monitor.

  • BlackBerry on Q10 Q10 file storage

    When connected to my laptop, my Q10 is mapped as: Q10 [Pin:] [Flash] (Z and shows a free space of 6,49 13.1 GB GB.)

    However, apart from 700 MB of tunes in the music folder, I have some other files that it be backed up on the Q10 which seems to indicate that 6.61 GB of available storage is used by the operating system.

    It seems normal? Is that what I can do to make more space available memory?

    Hello

    That does not sound unusual... is not just the OS, but apps you have installed, their specific data, etc. Most find that adding a SD card for their device meets their storage needs.

    Good luck!

  • CC file storage does not properly

    Today, I complained via Twitter on files CC really bad job site. I was invited to post here, so here go us...

    I have problems of slow loading all day, sometimes loading takes five seconds. Then sometimes I get to see all the folders in the root, but clicking on it doesn't bring me to the contents of this folder (for example images). I get blank pages, errors of 'this page does not exist' and 'this section is some server errors.

    I moved all my files in project real return to mettle (what I used before storage CC) because I couldn't show my clients the files I was going to use for a composition.

    I tested in Firefox, Chrome, Safari all latest versions on OS X 10.9.3. on two different machines. No difference. My internet speed is 80/8 Mbit. I've tested this and it is my current speed.

    So any ideas are welcome. Thank you

  • When using an accept custom attribute on an input file his show all files rather than the files that I choose (accept = "image/jpeg, image/gif, image/png, image)

    Hi, I am trying to use the entry of the file accept to limit the type of file that the user can choose when downloading a file. in fact, I have two problems that I can't understand our:

     1. If i am using the value "image/*" its limit the user to all the images but if i am using a custom
         limit e.g. "image/jpeg,image/gif,image/png,image/bmp" its show all the limits in the select box but the
         default value for ths user is "All Files". In Chrome and IE10 its working as needed.
    
     2. When i am trying to limit to "swf" files using the value "application/x-shockwave-flash" its show "All Files".
         In Chrome and IE10 its working as needed.
    

    I use Windows 7.

    Thank you.

    Well, it seems you do what it says in the documentation: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/HTML/Element/Input#attr-accept

    Firefox actually allow you to drop a folder that is not on the list? In other words, is the problem of acceptance is ignored, or that the filter does not display the dialog box?

  • Using iCloud for other files storage

    Hello

    I bought an extra storage in the hope that I can save files other than those created by Apple applications. In particular, I want to back up all my photos that are currently managed by Photoshop, as I am a passionate photographer. I fight to see how I can use iCloud for anything other than files created by Apple apps.

    Anyone know if this is possible?

    Thank you very much.

    No, it is not possible. You can use iCloud for storing photos using the Photos app and iCloud photo library:

    iCloud Photo library FAQ - Apple Support

    iCloud Photo Library help - Apple Support

    To save your photos in a Cloud Computing service, you need to use Dropbox or similar cloud service.
