Irregular disk space

Hello

I wanted to check how much free space I have on my mbp 13 retina (mid-2015) ssd.

The system says I 217 free Go (on 251), while showing that applications use 123 Go.

Here is the screenshot:

Any idea on what is happening?

Say [game has a bug in the program that it generates and often inaccurate.  Sometimes, but not always, he will correct a reindexing of Spotlight:

You can download from the Internet OmniDiskSweeper and Grand Perspective (both free) and open them. They will show all your files and respective sizes. They must provide accurate information.

    What is the difference between a "disc" and a "disk?" - https://support.apple.com/HT201697 - see magnetic optics.

    Get info on your iTunes folder and see how much space it occupies.  If this is the culprit, then you need to move the library to an external drive.  This isn't at all unusual because people want small computers with inadequate storage, but there's a glut of digital media.

  • Local disk space lost when downloading to iPhoto iCloud.

    Need some clarification.  The use of iPhoto (v.9.6.1).

    Already have photos in iPhoto, but when I create albums and upload in iCloud, my local disk space disappears.  I do not understand why I would lose local disk space by UPLOADING images that are already on my local drive?

    Any clarity would be useful, thank you!

    I have a MacBook Pro OS version 10.10.5 Yosemite.

    When I opened the mac and storage. It shows 189.6 in others and 138,88 Go in the backups. 47,78 GB in movies. 21.98 in photos. 10.29 in audio and 8.64 in apps. Only 82,08 GB free

  • Compacting files: I get the message, "not enough disk space.

    Compaction stops, a message on "not enough disk space. I tried to delete the .msf file and also delete "inbox." Nothing works.

    The kind of details that really your search does not exist. Once I looked for something similar and some of these topics, I'm still trying to learn more.

    But I can offer some advice.

    IMAP. Words like Subscribe riffle and quota, inherent to the IMAP protocol and are not terms that you will find are defined in Thunderbird, or he has documentation. They are defined terms in the IMAP protocol, see RFC 3501

    Their isn't a such thing as a remote folder, but IMAP is synchronized. essentially local copies of the mail are a cache to speed up performance, although there are options for do not keep local copies. My experience is that it's slow. I'm assuming that IMAP, it is that what you call remote folders.

    Size limits on technical terms are difficult. Historically, Thunderbird has a limit of 4 GB per file. This has been deleted way back to IMAP. local POP e-mail accounts and local folder still have the limit, or at least bug if you exceed the limit. Whenever the developers think they killed the bugs, another arises.

    What files are compacted. Why all of them! Compaction has a dual purpose. In IMAP account it purge deleted mail from the server (a permanent deletion) locally the large amounts of wasted space are compacted to recover used space again by mail folders as being deleted. The physical elimination of the deleted mail only occurs during compact.

    Remove folder is as simple as right clicking them and selecting Remove. Some special folders and the local folders account space simply cannot be deleted.

    There is a manual here http://en.flossmanuals.net/Thunderbird/ but I do not think that it deals with the issues you have raised.

    Hi Kirin, for more information on the other category in the view of storage , see this support article.

    There seems to be a bug in the about this Mac Look storage tab > system report > storage. It's probably different.

    Omni DiskSweeper can show you the exact size and location of all your files. It will be the inventory of your disc from files that occupy more space. It can also give you a fairer read disk space than the Finder or storage tab of the about this Mac. If you want you can even delete files from OmniDisk Sweeper. But beware, some items may be important for your system.

    For more information about the category others in storage to display, see this support article.

  • I can't open attachments generated in Excel or Word. Get an error there is not enough memory or disk space.

    MIcrosoft Excel cannot open or save documents more because there is not enough memory or disk space.
    To make more memory available, close workbooks or programs you no longer need.
    To free disk space, delete files that you no longer have need of the disc you save to.

    I have 4.75 TB of disk space available. I tried to close open programs and I can't always open attachments.

    I did a search on google and found some info that seems to suggest that it is a question of MS Excel /Word.

  • Backup to external hard drive on iCloud > > used internal hard disk space

    Is there a way to backup disks external hard on iCloud without iCloud with disk space hard internal iMac?

    I tried an external hard drive to backup to iCloud and although it does not copy in iCloud. It also eliminates the same amount of available space on the hard drive of my iMac.

    Does this mean that iCloud only backs up files on an internal drive so it copies them from external drives to the internal main? Is this a problem external disk hard/iCloud? Is it possible to set this up properly?

    The files are logical X. This could be a logic X / question iCloud? I know the hype for iCloud said any file, but no logic X icon in the system preferences iCloud box. Set to true any file ?

    Thanks for any information you have.

    Data in iCloud cannot synchronize from an external hard drive.

    iCloud does not synchronize data from logic X.

  • Choose the single chapter or chapters - disk space?

    Hi Gang

    I use iLife 08 - iDVD 08 and responsible for some older models as well. I have a 95 minutes, (burn single face) piece, which looks nice using the 'professional framework. Currently its a long chapter about 95 minutes long.

    I know I can break up the longest play in several chapters of void and put them on the menu, (it is no problem). What worries me is if I have enough disk space, (keep a burn single sided), to include 'Play a whole movie', in addition to including the sup chapters? If its mathematically adding the length of the total room for smaller pieces, no I don't think that will work? It seems, the total length will become prohibitive for a burn single sided. And BTW, all movie clips are exported "referenced files" and not "independent".

    By keeping the side burn 'one' (duration: 95 minutes), I think my options are:

    Stay with a long piece, or use 'DVD Studio Pro' which would require some time long tutorial...

    Any other ideas?

    Thank you!

    Where the 95 minute clip of?

    You can add chapter markers to a given interval with iDVD, i.e. at intervals of 5 or 10 minutes to your current project without having to exceed the 95 minute playing time available to you.

    1 - Select the movie from the main menu

    2 - Select the menu option Advanced ➙ create markers chapter for the film .

    3 - Select the time interval for the chapters.

    4. double click the movie button in the main menu to get this submenu:

    5. double click on the scene selection button to get the chapters:

    The downside to this is that you can choose a time interval and not a specific point in the movie for the marker.

    Otherwise, import the movie into iMovie or some film editing app that you use and add the markers where you want there.

  • Low disk space

    When I click on get the Messages, I am getting error pop up like:

    There is not enough disk space to download new messages. Try to delete old messages, empty the trash and compacting of your e-mail folders, and then try again.

    Help me please why I get error as all of my disks has more than 45 GB of free space.
    I'm unable to use thunderbird for this reason.

    You also compact the Inbox? physically, the messages are not removed from the old folder when they are moved to another folder. Only, they are marked as being deleted. You should compact the folder to delete messages and recover disk space.

    Right-click on Inbox and choose Compact.
