HD is full, but there is no files on the computer
Hi, I've been struggling with this problem for quite a while now. I can't seem to find anything online that actually works, I hope someone can help.
I have an iMac 27-inch retina display, 1 TB HD. I look on the storage and the other section of the computer takes more than 850 GB, how is this possible? I have next to no file on the disk hard because I'm always working from the external hard drive, I emptied the trash so I know it's clean, I tried "erasing free space" in the utility application disc, but towards the end it always come with the disc full boot, then when the process is complete I get the error message "cannot create the temporary file.
I am a Publisher so I use photoshop and Premiere Pro a lot, would it something to do with these programs?
Thank you
Dan
For the other category in the display of information storage, see this support article. If the display appears to be inaccurate, try to rebuild the Spotlight index.
Empty the trash if you don't have it already done. If you use iPhoto, emptying his trash internal everything first:
▹ iPhoto empty the trash
In pictures:
▹ Show of the recently deleted ▹ file delete all
Do the same thing in other applications like Aperture, with an internal feature of the trash. Then, restart the computer. Temporarily, which will free up space.
According to the documentation from Apple, you need at least 9 GB of free space on the boot volume (as shown in the Infolog) for normal operation, not the mythical 10%, 15% or any percentage. You also need enough space to allow the growth of the data over. There is little or no advantage in terms of performance to get more free space than the minimum Apple recommends. Storage space you'll never use is wasted space.
See this support article for some easy ways to free up storage space. A common waste of space is old backups iTunes to mobile devices. As shown in this support article, select the devices tab in the iTunes preferences window, select the backup that you want to remove and click on delete the backups. Keep at least a backup of each device you use yet.
You can, if you wish, use a tool such OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore the volume and discover what is take up space. You can also delete files with it, but not unless you don't know you know what you remove and that all data is stored safely. This means that you have several backups, not one. Note that the ODS only works with OS X 10.8 ("Mountain Lion") and later versions.
IMPORTANT: This comment is neither a recommendation nor an endorsement of any third party software. You should always do your own research to determine if the unknown software is safe and useful. Don't take the word of anyone, including mine.
Deletion of files inside a photo library or iTunes will damage the library. Such a library should be changed within the application that created it. It is the same for e-mail files.
Go further than if the problem is not resolved by the steps above.
ODS cannot see the whole file system when you run simply by double-clicking; He sees only the files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you must run it as root.
Back up all the data now.
Install the application in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it runs.
Triple-click any where in the text line below on this page to select, then copy the selected text in the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination.
security execute-with-privileges /A*/OmniDiskSweeper.app/*/M*/* 2>&-
Launch the Terminal application integrated in one of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first letters of his name in a Spotlight search. Select from the results (it should be at the top).
☞ In the Finder, select go utilities ▹ of menu bar or press the combination of keys shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Paste in the Terminal window by pressing command + V. You will be asked for your login password.
The application window opens behind other open windows. When you scan a volume, the window will finally show all files in all folders, sorted by size. It may take a few minutes for the app to finish scanning.
I do not recommend that you make a habit of doing. Do not delete anything as root. If something should be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then remove by safer alternatives. If in doubt, leave it alone or ask for advice.
When you are finished with the app, he quit and also to leave Terminal.

Original title: user profile
My administrator user profile does not work properly, but I have a user profile that has activated the parental control that worked well for about a year and yesterday when this user logs on the desktop comes up, but after that the computer does not respond when that user tries to do anything. There are actually turns off the computer with the power button. I ran a virus scan and spyware scan in my user admin profile and he has not found anything. I don't know what to check.
Hello rhunter15,
There may be a program to interfere with Parental controls so that we can try a few things to see if we can determine the application or program that is causing problems.
First of all, we run System File Checker to see if you have a corrupt file system.
- Click Start
- Click on all programs
- Click Accessories, and then right-click on the command prompt.
- Select the Security tab and choose "Run as Administrator"
- Click on command prompt
- Type SFC/scannow.
It will scan and repair any damaged operating system files.
To determine if there is a program because of a conflict, we recommend that you perform a "clean boot" of the computer. A clean boot is designed to disable programs and services in the background as much as possible. This helps determine which service or program can be the cause of the problem. For more information about how to perform a clean boot for troubleshooting, click the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base.
KB 929135 - how to solve a problem of performaing a clean boot in Windows Vista.
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135Once you have finished the clean boot, check again and see if you get the error of parental control.
If please post again and let us know if that helped pinpoint the problem or if you still need help.
Thank you

indicator light flashes, but there's no docs in the queue; Cannot print
I have a Color LaserJet CP1025nw printer. The 'ready' light has been constantly flashes throughout the day. I can't print anything of any program. It seems that when I try to print, everything goes smoothly, the doc still appears in the queue of print with the status "printing" but nothing no is displayed. So I canceled all documents pending, so that there is nothing in the queue, but always flashes. Flashing must indicate that the printer is receiving or processing data, but there is no docs in the queue.
I tried to turn off the printer, wait 10 minutes and turn it back on again; also tried to restart the printer and the computer. also made sure all the cables were connected the printer to the computer; also tried opening and closing the upper part and he had to scroll through all the lights; also crossed the convenience store help and tried to print at a command prompt... nothing has worked so far.
Help!
SOLVED!
Thanks to an old post here, I learned that I could try to do a hard reset. SO I did a hard reset and the printer works now! Perhaps there was a doc stuck in the memory of the printer and it could not go beyond it?...
For the hard reset, while the printer is turned on, unplug the power cord and cable, wait at least 30 seconds, and then plug them back in and turn on the printer.

Audio playback but there is no sound in the timeline.
Audio playback but there is no sound in the timeline. I imported an XML from final cut PRO 7.0.3. For the most part all right, but I've encountered a weird problem. There are some audio coming, but who should not be there. I went through each track and even deleted all the sound elements of the time line. But he continues to play the audio. I tried to make, close everything down and exporting section too and it's still there.
Hi Rio, thanks for taking the time to answer this dilemma. Clean the media Cache did not work.
Maybe I could... wait.
Yes. Copied and pasted the timeline in a new sequence. So far so good. Audio seems to play correctly.
Thanks again.

Virtual machine running on snapshot but there are no spanpshot on the Snapshot Manager.
Hi all,
After a backup with VMware Data Recovery failure (error-3960 cannot suspend virtual machine), I have a virtual machine running on snapshot (see attachment) but there is no snapshot on the Snapshot Manager. Is the command to "consolidate" (I have never used this feature) the solution?
Thank you.
Marco.
OK let me explain.
As the chain of snapshot is not displayed in snapshot Manager, you can correct this problem in two ways.
1 engage the snapshot command line. If you are uncomfortable in the command line, follow this KB KB VMware: commit snapshots on ESXi host command line if you are not comfortable follow step 2.
2. create a new snapshot for this virtual machine (this will create a chain of snapshot, and you can see the snapshot in the Snapshot Manager), once the snapshot is created successfully. You can remove the snapshot in the Snapshot Manager.
Hope this is clear. Let me know if not

You can try to retrieve the object file by steps as well.
Something like this for example
$folder = get-data center-name 'LTX01-G8 | Get-file-name "LTX-servers | Get-file-name "LTX servers 0000 - 0299. Get-file-name Linux
I guess the first qualification in your path was the data center.
