Massive storage of decompression problem

I was trying to download an important file from a friend (. tar.gz), and when I went to unpack it (in the archive utility), the file is immediately explode fills almost all the entire my drive (4to). (The original file was only 2 GB)... The decompression progress were only to halfway done, when all of a sudden, the system attracted my attention on disk space is almost full. I force you quit the application, but the system still says the space is used by something upward. This file decompression failed hid? How can I recover this space without deleting I can't once I have remove the applications? Help!

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.

But it seems to be some kind of malware, making hitchhiking in the tar ball. For that I download and run MalwareBytes. Malwarebytes was developed by one of our colleagues here to ASC. He received rave reviews and is on the more proven anti-malware for Mac software.

  • iPhone 5 c full bug storage

    Hello

    I have recently used an iPhone 5 c (IOS 9.2.1) and come across an annoying problem. IPhone randomly time will tell me that my storage is full, when it clearly isn't. If I connect the iPhone to iTunes and sync I get my supposedly used storage and it also works if I sign out of iTunes and the Apple Store on my device, then reconnect. It's really frustrating because I have a lot of free storage, and the problem really restricted my use on the device with does not let me download apps etc. Although I said two things which remedy they only fix it temporarily, I enters the whole question around 2 - 5 times a day and do not want to have to keep connecting my iPhone on my MacBook to sync just to get the return of storage that I haven't used or especially if I can't access either at the point where the problem occurs through a repetitive series of tasks.

    I asked a friend with the iPhone even though they had never met this problem to which they responded: "all the time". I'd appreciate any help fixing this problem.

    Please Note: I am a technologically advanced Apple product user and know some things that can take place on a device. It is not a lack of attention to the storage to the left on the device, I don't know that I have free space so I would be grateful if the things (or similar) which follows is not commented:

    "Check your use of storage to see what takes your place.

    "Check your applications to see if they have the data cache which takes place.

    Thank you very much

    I have restored and updated my iPhone through my laptop and not on the airwaves and this seemed to solve the problem of someone else ask yourself

  • impression of Pro to Z5400 Designjet HP printing problem

    Last October, I bought a Postscript Designjet Z5400 printer. On both CD and software down loaded from the Web site called "HP printing Pro" produces an error on the screen of the printer "Incorrect, impossible to print file Format". This happens with. JPG. PDF and. TIF (any graphic file) files.

    The printer precisely will not respond to the controls of Photoshop CC either. Try to compose a set of 5 "x 7" photos in the upper part of a 36"wide roll of results of paper in the images printed on one side of the paper with massive losses." The problem seems to be that the printer will not allow a page size to create what is shorter than the width of the paper.

    I have been in touch with HP about this and offered a refund, even if I sent my own to the printer, not me Bank evidence. Answers like "It's a HP offer for you, not the finance co" suggests HP trying to me to commit larceny as a custodian... A criminal offence.

    I did not buy this printer for a refund, I bought it for a living with. Twice now, I tried to access the part "next day guarantee support" of the Pack in customer care, I paid an extra $1200 for and not received a response.

    I am able to print to this printer, but not using the software from either HP or Photoshop CC. Any help here as to who speak for the "next day" service, I bought or the highest level of management, I can access complaint with all the terrible service, I was making would be apreciated. I have a video broadcast quality of the mess that occurs when you try to use this printer, but I hesitated to post publicly until a person at HP has actually been and looked at the problem. It's either the printer or the HP software cause.

  • Storage vMotion with Syncrep on Equallogic San

    Hello

    We recently bought 2 San Equallogic (PS6510ES) and turned on synchronous replication between them.

    We use ESXi 5.5 and followed the best practices guide to disable TCP ack and 60 logintimeout value.

    Everything seems to work fine until we tried Storage vMotion/migration and cloning VMS on the San.

    When we did the migration of 2 volumes on the EQL SAN storage (the target volume has active syncrep), the target volume will be out-of-sync and then the storage vMotion will hang sometimes.

    The worst is when such a problem has occurred, all other volumes on the EQL constantly to respond also. All volumes will not respond until we rebooted the corresponding ESXi host (NOTE: simple shut down/power outside the host won't help.) The San EQL will only return to normal after a reboot of the ESXi host).

    If we pause / off the syncrep before Storage vMotion, the problem will not happen.

    Is this normal or not?

    In addition, whenever the problem occurred, the latency of writing the corresponding volume will be dry and we will receive alerts similar to the following:

    connection iSCSI target ' xx.xx.xx.xx:3260, iqn.2001 - 05.com.equallogic:xxxxx - test-volume ' initiator 'xx.xx.xx.xx:xxxxx, eqlinitiatorsyncrep' failed for the following reason:

    Initiator, disconnected from the target when connecting.

    Thanks in advance.

  • Error in persistent storage when the application update that happened.

    I've been struggling with the problem for a long time.

    MY application uses a persistent storage to store parameter information.

    But when I update my application from version 1 to version 2, number of items in my configuration page has been changed, which means the new version of the page layout will load and save some new stuff in a persistent storage that did not exist in the old persistent storage.

    Problem occurs when custorms update their request. How can we drag all the old stored information when users start to use the updated application?

    I see these three options:

    (a) the best thing to do is to delete the old application, which will get rid of the old persistent data.

    (b) create a 'version2' of you persisted object with a different name.  In your treatment of startup, you see if there is a version 1 object, and if so, migrate the setting of the object Version in 1 to your new object.

    (c) try to your compatible changes.  There are different ways to do this.  A way that is easy to understand is to persist a string, which is your options encode in XML format.  If you use an XML string, then you can add a new attribute to your new options - but the persistent object remains the same.

    I hope this helps.

  • Problems with NVIDIA Ion for S12 display driver

    I downloaded the Nvidia drivers

    195.62_notebook_winvista_win7_32bit_international_whql

    and

    195.81_notebook_winvista_win7_32bit_international_beta

    I tried to install the 195.81 first, but it didn't work so I tried 195.62, but he also didn't work.

    The error message reads:

    "The NVIDIA installer didn't find all the drivers that are compatible with your current hardware.  The installation program will now stop. "

    I have a Lenovo Ideapad S12 ion.  What is the problem?  I managed to install the driver Nvidia 191 version, but these updates don't work.

    Help me...

    If you perform a search, you can find several threads on these forums about this.

    For some reason any, as you have seen, the current reference GPU nVidia drivers do not work.

    Now, thanks for the test of the 195.81 beta drivers - support nVidia actually suggested these as a solution to the issue.

    They also suggested to try to install the drivers (or set) of in Safe Mode. You can try this.

    However, as we said already, the S12 works ok with livery drivers.

    I recommend you to install the driver chipset nVidia reference (I found a significant improvement in performance with install them) - BUT, only install the EMS component - I found the storage component causes problems (up to and including a blue screen when you run a benchmark of HARD drive).

    Also, apparently, the desktop GPU of nVidia drivers works perfectly.
