Hidden space

Hello

I wonder why space occupied, indicated in the tab "Information" of my HD in the Finder is different from the sum of the space occupied by files from my drive. I also used OmniDisk Sweeper, but he was able to calculate that the space occupied, I can "see".

For example, in my case the Information tab shows 54 GB of occupied disk space, the sum of the records (including system) is about 47 and the same is indicated by Omnidisk Sweeper.

What Miss me?

Thank you very much

How much RAM Mac has it and demanding your workflow is the amount of RAM?

Modern operating systems use RAM virtual to exploit: when more space is needed to the installed physical size, a part of the disk space is used to exchange information not currently required. This space does not show upward as he is caught the player's gross, it is not a file or directory. More RAM installed, the swap more are will generally be consumed for a given workflow. Activity Monitor / memory will give you an idea of what's going on.

  • Why Thunderbird place quotation marks around the names of e-mail when sending to a group of people?

    I have a list of e-mail addresses that are separated by semicolons. I paste the list in writing (composing) and they look OK. But when the email is sent, Thunderbird saw the names by adding double quotes. It is not consistent. It will not add them to some names, some.

    [email protected] suddenly becomes 'charley"@wi.rr.com '.

    Can someone explain this?

    OK, I spent some time in various scenarios.
    I managed to reproduce a scenario which is as you say.

    If my contact in the address book:

    With details of name as Peter Foo
    e-mail address: [email protected]
    where there is a space inserted before the name stone, of course, it is not immediately noticeable, but it's as if you had hit the space bar just before typing the e-mail address.

    Then when I use the Contacts Sidebar in a message of Scripture, it will add the email like this:
    "Peter Foo <" peter"@somewhere.com >
    that, of course invalid in.

    but in the address book, if highlight the contact, in the section below in blue email address - if I click here to send an email, the email address is printed with space exacly and he send as if nothing is wrong.

    So I ask you to check those email addresses that incorrectly insert through the sidebar of Contacts. They only do it for me if there is a hidden space inserted at the beginning of the email address.

    It can also occur if you inadvertently and copy paste insert a space.

    If a space is added before the email address by one of these methods.

    The best method is to use one line per email address.
    Use the "Contacts Sidebar" to select the different addresses/contacts by email, then click on example: "Addto to" button or another option.

  • Songs on iTunes are grouped by everything except the artists?

    I only came to this problem recently, but I've had no luck trying to fix it. I have triple-everything checked, made sure the album artists are composers is the exact same without hidden spaces or misspellings, I deleted tracks and re-uploaded, but this has always been a problem. I've even updated iTunes and it is STILL not change.

    The songs I recently filled in metadata for are combined perfectly with the albums, but the second I switch to the menu artists, I see 50 Dethkloks each with only 1 song on them.

    Below are the screenshots on the album (grouped perfectly) and artist (no grouping).

  • Flow 11: Disk Cleanup Windows 10 Stream

    Just finished the installation of Win 10 on my Stream 11.  Had to remove most of my programs to make enough space to run the upgrade.

    In fact I decided to run Disk Cleanup to try to regain space. I thought that because I would be able to use HP recovery I could delete the partition hidden also.

    Starting with clean disk, including files cleaning system it has identified about 14 GB, which could be deleted, but after the race, it just seems I won, it was about 1-2 GB of disk space.

    That's happened? Why didn't a win space identified by the own drive?

    I have not deleted the hidden restore partition but as I want to be sure that everything will be OK after I do it. Am I correct in believing that the 7 GB of hidden space is recovering files and factory settings I can use more since I am now under Win 10?

    Hello @RogerM-Ohio,.

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I came across your post about disk cleanup and he wanted to help!

    I wouldn't delete the Partition Recovery, simply because you are currently using Windows 10.  If you encounter a problem in the future and necessary to restore the laptop to factory settings, the recovery Partition will be very useful.  Otherwise, you would need a recovery media.  If you insist on deleting the recovery Partition, then you make a copy first.  Please consult the following documents to help you, if necessary:

    HP computers - create and use a Microsoft recovery USB drive (Windows 10)

    HP computers - create a recovery Image on disc or save a recovery Image on a USB drive (Windows 8)

    Hello

    ·         What anti-virus program do you use?

  • Update XP bad last night? PC not start?

    Seems to me that some people have problems with an update last night.

    Automatic updates ran on my PC wife. After the restart, it restarts nonstop. No matter how you try to start, IE safe mode it fails.

    I see the windows XP starts for a brief second and then a screen of death, second brief, then restarts again blue.

    Have you tried the PC technical support with no joy.

    I don't have any windows XP CD as both PC did not come with.

    I got exactly the same problem 2 days ago on my HP desktop after installing a security XP patch, and I was able to remedy. (I can't believe that I fixed it).  Believe it or not, computers HP (and perhaps others) there is an internal collection for XP - NO NEED of RECOVERY DISKS to restore/reinstall XP: "HP computers come with Microsoft Windows XP do not come with recovery CD. Instead, they use a hidden space (partition) on the hard disk to store recovery information. The use of a separate partition provides a practical process that eliminates the use of recovery disks that can be lost or scratched. "I don't have XP CD because XP is installed with my new RESUME.

    I tried to run the System File Checker (Sfc.exe command (Alt + D on HPs))(sfc /scannow) a prompt, but he said he couldn't find sfc.exe.  I've listed all of the files in this directory, and there sfc.dll, but no sfc.exe, so I didn't know what to do with it.  I tried to run chkdsk, but he said that I could not run because something else (the recovery stuff) was using it currently.  He asked me if I wanted to run chkdsk the next time I booted up, and I said yes, but he has not run when I started again.

    When you turn on your HP computer, keep the PF10 key repeatedly until the recovery menu appears.  To perform a standard system restore, click Next/Yes. There is NO need to perform a restore Destructive (button Advance).  The regular recovery will not wipe any of your files/data.

    After a normal recovery of XP, the computer is no longer open to security problems because it does not contain the latest security updates.  You will need to reinstall the Microsoft security patches.

    Good luck.

    It is not a good idea to have your cache file that reside on the same drive as your operating system. When he runs into problems of size of drive can make your corrupt operating system. Have a look here on the management of the cache:

  • How to free up space in a drive by deleting files hidden from the previous operating system?

    Original title: my vista home c drive now have very low free space.there is some files hidden from the previous operatnig system busy space that are useless.how can I delete these files?

    my laptop is slow due to the very low free space in c drive. How can I remove the unnecessary files from c drive or increase the volume of drive c?

    Download a program like TreeSize Free (http://www.jam-software.com/treesize_free/) to see where the files take up a lot of space.  Be aware that deleting files without knowing what you're doing can cause your system to be unable to restart or cause instability can so be sure you know that you are deleting before you start.  There is no way to extend one hard disk other than to replace it, in which case you need to copy all the files from your old drive to the new.

  • Storm of UI layout - space keyboard even if it is hidden

    Hi all

    I developed a style of puzzle game where the user interface is composed entirely of buttons in horizontal frames.  Works very well on the curve of Blackberry and other devices.  Initial tests on the storm yielded dismal results (as usual)...  The keyboard appears by default, who has absolutely no sense, as there is no input on the entire user interface, a few buttons fields.  So, I tried to hide the keyboard in the constructor - did not work.  Did a bit of research on this forum and decided to try to hide a method of onUIEngineAttached of the screen:

    protected void onUiEngineAttached(boolean attached)
    {
        getVirtualKeyboard().setVisibility(VirtualKeyboard.HIDE_FORCE);
        super.onUiEngineAttached(attached);
    }
    

    It worked to hide the keyboard.  But when you push the menu button, the keyboard is displayed again.  This is a problem.  There is also another question.  Now the user interface is designed as if it reserves space for the now hidden keyboard.  Thus, in order to try to solve it, I placed the layout of UI components in this method of onUIEngineAttached after that the keyboard is hidden - always the same result.

    Here is the code I use to draw the screen:

        private CustomDrawnButton[][] buttons = new CustomDrawnButton[4][4];
    private String[] captions =
        {
            "1",
            "2",
            "3",
            "4",
            "5",
            "6",
            "7",
            "8",
            "9",
            "10",
            "11",
            "12",
            "13",
            "14",
            "15",
            "",
        };
        private int screenW = Graphics.getScreenWidth();
        private int screenH = Graphics.getScreenHeight();
        private int buttonWidth = (int) (screenW / 4);
        private int buttonHeight = (int) (screenH / 4);
            String[] selArray = captions;
            int ctr = 0;
            for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++)
            {
                for (int j = 0; j < 4; j++)
                {
                    int index = MathLib.randomInt(0, selArray.length - 1);
                    buttons[i][j] = new CustomDrawnButton(selArray[index],
                        buttonWidth, buttonHeight, ButtonField.CONSUME_CLICK);
                    buttons[i][j].setFocusColor(prefs.getFocusColor());
                    buttonsArray[ctr++] = buttons[i][j];
                    buttons[i][j].setChangeListener(listener);
                    if ("".equals(selArray[index]))
                    {
                        currentTarget = buttons[i][j];
                        targetRow = i;
                        targetCol = j;
                    }
                    selArray = removePosition(selArray, index);
                }
            }
            for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++)
            {
                HorizontalFieldManager row = new HorizontalFieldManager();
                for (int j = 0; j < 4; j++)
                {
                    row.add(buttons[i][j]);
                }
                add(row);
            }
    

    The question is how I set up so that when the main screen of this application, the keyboard is never displayed and no space is reserved for it?  I have a preferences will need the keyboard screen.

    I use jde 4.7.0 and Simulator 4.7.0.148 (9530-Verizon).

    Thank you

  • hidden object consumes verticle space how to solve?

    Hello

    I use APEX 4.0, I just used the dynamic measures to hide and show elements.

    I have around total 30 posts on the same page and both among the 30 items, I need to shows 3-4 items at once depends on the selection of the drop-down list.

    everything works well as far.

    the problem is with hidden items, using vertical space in this region, so what happens, this is my element has little space between my combo and other dynamically illustrated elements.

    I want to remove the space of these hidden item. It is possible using your method?

    I hope you all understand my question.

    Thank you
    Amiin

  • Hidden file containing system 70 GB of disk space, even by showing hidden files reveal what who or where he is.

    I just noticed today that I have only 5 GB of disk space. After checking the properties of all the directories on that drive, I can determine that about 70 GB has been lost.

    I followed the post here: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistaperformance/thread/93892180-aa3f-4cd3-90a9-87d6aca6ddca

    and it made no difference.

    I don't know I have no viruses because my PC is completely swept every day, I also run Diskeeper Pro in order to reduce the fragmentation (this one works permanently).

    I deleted all my Windows and application event logs, and this too made no difference.

    As indicated in the title, I have exposed system files etc. and always impossible to find what.

    Just to reiterate, checking the properties of each folder to root quite well shows the use of the disc I expect, if I check the properties of the root of C:, it shows 5 GB free.

    I am running Vista + SP2, Avira AV, Comodo Firewall, Diskeeper 2010 Pro.

    If your computer works normally without any problem follow these steps: right-click (c) click on disk cleanup, wait... click More Options, click on clean for the system restore and shadow copies. Now check the free space.
