Messed up storage?
Hello the mac community!
I recently got a macbook mid-2014 used pro (a risk I took even though I had no idea how to use a Mac...). It works perfectly. Recently I discovered that when I look at my storage however, the storage bar don't are aligned with the calculated available storage at all... Common sense would dictate that something is very wrong. Am I missing something or do I have to check on the apple store?
The calculation is as follows:
249.78 - 197.76 = 52 GB used
and yet, according to the bar, I used 104,75 + 6.75 + 5.28 + 2.5 = 119 GB used?
For more information on the other category in the storage of display, 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.

T42 - stop and restart after the connection
My T42, running on Windows XP, suddenly stops right after the connection and while the hotkeys on the loading screen.

After running a few tests using the blue Access IBM button and PC Doctor 2.0 running, memory tests have shown the following results:
Fast memory - all sockets - failed
Fast memory - Support 1 - spent
Fast memory - take 2 - failed
This seems to indicate that one of the two memory is faulty. This hypothesis is correct?
If so, what should be the next step? My laptop is out of warranty. I should bring it to a repair shop, or could I order the replacement and install it myself easily?
I am not versed in repairs to equipment and feel a bit discouraged to start to mess with storage media...
Any advice, please?
Thank you
It is probably a faulty stick of RAM in the second location rather than the power socket. Best bet is to remove the module RAM then see how it goes.
Second is really easy to access. It is under the laptop - there is a small door in the middle of the base set with a single screw. Remove the screws and remove the door to expose the RAM module. Pull the wire staples on the outside of the restraint SODIMM socket and the RAM module should appear and then remove. Replace the cover and try the laptop again.
IF you must replace the T42 uses to off the shelf of a DDR SO-DIMM, PC2700 speed RAM - needs. Will take up to a 1 GB module in each socket. First is harder to do because he must remove the keyboard to get home. It is only 4 screws but can be a bit tedious for a novice.

I messed up compress and decompress files Win XP. Can I get help?
I don't know that I've caused this mess somehow by deleting or disabling something somewhere. Can someone clue me?
My computer has lost the association. ZIP files and he wants to use a program WinZip he wants to sell me.
I googled the hell out to try to solve this problem and stuff talking about click with the right button on any file and choose something to compress. But is not there at all. If I try to open this file, a box pops up wanting me to use a trial version of WinZip or purchase.
After fighting this mess a day for a week, I'm almost ready to throw in the towel and a pc to Apple. But I'm not a silencer!
So can someone please copy / paste in, or simply write me a quick lesson on the implementation of this compressed file (zipped) and then zip a file inside to allow the smaller space of storage or for emailing?
I'm no reader don't link, so please don't not all component software snap-in all the links to me like this http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306531. For some reason, my head just started twisting and even after trying to make sense out of what he tells me to do, I'm still lost.
Help!
I was able to open a zip file that I found online somehow, somehow after that double click I wanted to just open it with WinZip. Somehow, I recorded it on my desk and then I think clicked and selected open with and he offered me something (compressed) standard Windows. But I don't seem to get that now.
I would of course go to my Docs and a kind of zip file and then send it to myself and then unzip the attachment. But I can not yet understand how to do the 1st step. I'm feeling braindead, but actually I was quite able technically my life. HOW frustrating1
CAN I HAVE IT PLEASE HELP!
Yes, WinZip is a commercial product, but you can use 7-zip, which is both free and much better than the built-in Windows file archiver.
To restore the native Windows XP file compression utility, see--> http://windowsxp.mvps.org/zipfldr.htm
These directions are pretty clear, but if you have problems, after return and tell what is confusing you. If it still does not, after the full text of any error message you get, without paraphrasing.

Wi - Fi and DVD storage + more Q!
Hi, I have a few questions:
I can save all my (legit) DVDs on the Media Hub without any conversion / retouching / messing around?
Is the Media Center wireless active or I have to (or can I) but a wireless card?
If my wife has an IPOD and I have another we have both share the same music or do we deal with the mess of accounts full?
My intention is to connect it to the power (in my garage) next to my wireless router. If he (media center) is not active wireless, I imagine that I will need to plug it into my ethernet port available?
If I just plug this into my router and have a wireless network, this device will flow wireless to my HP MediaSmart Connect X280N?
The HP MediaSmart Connect X280N is compatible with this unit?
Bottom line here, it is that I want to put all my media, videos, CD IPOD stuff etc. on a SINGLE machine and make sure it's redundant (will buy another drive when I order) and be able to play on my HDTV.
Thank you!!
Hello
If we consider the network Media Hub as only a simple storage device, then Yes, you can store all your files on the network Media Hub. Based on the network Media Hub specification is just a wired device so wireless for this camera, but what you can do to make it wireless is get one of the adapters of wireless of Linksys (WGA600N) game and use it with the network Media Hub to make it wireless.
Anyone can access the files on the network Media Hub in the same time, its DLNA 1.5 not certified, so no configuration of the necessary user accounts.
If the HP X280N MediaSmart Connect device and the network Media Hub is part of the same network then Yes you can use Network Media Hub as the storage of the files that your HP X280N can get media from. Yet once, just consider the network Media Hub as a simple network storage device so that we can see a better picture where this device is on the network.
I hope this helps.

If I need to apply this patch, it would be nice to understand a little better what to expect and what is fixed and/or improvements. You have to forgive me because I'm old school and I usually generally follow the routine "if it ain't broke don't fix it". I'll do what it takes well so I have a better understanding of what is going to happen in the case where updating mess something inadvertently.

Hello:
What is the technology Intel Rapid Storage Technology software.
http://www.Intel.com/support/chipsets/IMSM/sb/CS-020784.htm
It is not necessary to install the update if you do not want.
I doubt you will notice a difference in performance if you have it installed.
It is unlikely that all the problems would result in the update (however could apply Murphy's law), but like you said... "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

How to change the VM storage profile in vAppTemplate?
Hello world
I have a project in front of me to migrate existing virtual machines to a profile of existing storage or the * profile to a profile of newly created storage. I have determined how to get this done for VMS in vApps already and I am able to update profiles of storage for virtual machines and see them to migrate to the data warehouse associated with the new profile of storage. I'm currently stuck trying to figure out how to upgrade virtual machines in VAPP models. I can recover the VAPP model using Get-CIVAppTemplate, but I am not able to browse the virtual machines in.
So my question is: How can I use on the VMS in a VAPP model to be able to change the profile of storage?
If not, is there a method to reach my goal (all move to a new storage profile) that I don't see? I'm afraid I'll make a mess of things in storage by updating virtual machines individually. If there is a way to lift and move a whole tree (similar to SSMove of Lab Manager), that would be great!
Thank you
Jason
I wasn't always able to solve this problem via PowerCLI. My eventual solution was manually copy/move the VAPP model in the catalogue and choose the correct storage profile in the process. Fortunately, we didn't have many models VAPP and it took no more than a few days.

See 5.1 rebalance - what a mess
An hour ago I tried to rebalance a cloning pool related 45 virtual machines on two esxi hosts 5 (latest updates and patches). I am running the latest version of the view. Each host has local SSD that store related clones, and in Re-balance today, I started with 18 VMs on a host and 27 on the other. I had two current user sessions when I started rebalancing, a connected and disconnected. The balance of the VMS had the status of "available". I have configured the rebalancing to wait for the VMs user logoff and he began. The rebalancing began and I looked in vCenter because he'll stop, reconfigured, copied, restart, etc. a whole bunch of VMs. When it was all thanks to I got a mess.
Four virtual machines show as 'Available' - all on the same host, on what they started. 32 of the virtual machines have a status of "available (task interrupted)", seven virtual machines have a status of "Error - Configuration failed: invalid configuration for the device '0' ' and both - the virtual machines with other registered users - have the status"Connected (task interrupted)"and"Disconnected (task interrupted)", for the connected and disconnected VMs respectively. I have the same number of virtual machines on each host that I have staretd with. In other words, there always asymmetrical.
This is the second time I tried surgery rebalance on the last two weekends. Last week when I tired it I got similar results, but I thought maybe it was something I had done wroing.
Anyone know why this might be failing? Should rebalancing the virtual machines on a shared storage to work?
Thank you
Geoff
I would say that the shared storage is necessary since the rebalancing is not holding esx LUN:s hosts only consideration.

I have audio files I import into AE, wishes to use. MP3s, but have a problem with them playing in the mess and most of the audio plays do not at all. Also the sound that plays does not match the waveform.
I have batch save files as .wavs to the difficulty. But I was wondering why this is happening.
In order to better clarify the MP3 format is highly compressed and has been designed to provide a faster reading on a network. Format takes all samples and looking for similar values, so he doesn't have to store each bit of data for each sample. Then a table is built which said the sample currently has the same values as the sample at that time there. This table is parsed by your CPU and audio is reassembled into sound kinda sorta corresponding to its original. The higher data further reading is to the original.
When AE leans on a MP3 player and start decoding of information, combining this with the other audio that may or may not be compressed, and mix all these calculations with the treatment effects and pixel data, MP3 decoding was sometimes out of sync simply because there is no comprehensive audit in MP3 format which ensures that the audio stream is rendered in the correct order when in the CPU clock cycles are overloaded with other processes. An MP3 player can even skip and stutter when played on an iPod, if you are at the limit of storage and execution of something else in the foreground.
Any lossless or uncompressed audio format does not work like that. Sample 1 contains all the data for this moment, sample 2 too and so on. There is no audio samples that does contain all the data so that things don't get out of use when the CPU is stress because they cannot (or at least, it's much more difficult).
It goes the same for video streams highly compressed in the production pipeline. You will always have better results if you convert to a frame without loss or close based lossless format.

How can I change the names of directory of virtual machine in VMWare ESXi data storage?
I've always used host names, but I have changed several times, since the structure is bigger and I now 25 virtual machines. I started renaming to v, s, w - and then their hostname.
For now, the data store directory is a real mess without the new structure and it bothers me. Is it possible to rename directories? Perhaps using vcenter? I would like to see a beautiful tree as: DWT-win2003, centos5 tpl, tpl-debian6, s-server01, server02-s, w-exchange01, w-mssql01, just as I renamed it to VMS. I tried the migration option, but it only allows for migration between host data warehouses and not to rename the directory that hosts the virtual machine.
How can I change the my data store directory structure? I have considered changing the paths and edit vmx files to correct the paths, and then add servers to be inventoried. But I don't really know if this can be done without penalty or if there is a better solution.
the easiest way, continuously needs storage vMotion of the guest. It renames the folder and the underlying file for the same as the name of object of vCenter. If you don't have much storage vMotion, then turn off the prompt and do a cold migration.

The formatting of your post is a little messed up, but if the question is, can you sVMotion your vCenter VM, then the answer is Yes. Still, it is after all just a virtual machine.

mess with the location of the swap file
Hello
I now have in my environment little ' don't mess with swapfile in one of my groups. It was ealier configured as cluster DRS/HA, with this swap file setting must be different (store swapfile in the location defined by the ESX host) on the data store. And each host is defined in different way :/ We have the configuration option to store this file on the shared data store, second only to configure anything, third takes place on their local disks and I am confused. What is recommended for different swapfile to installation location? Must it be placed within the virtual machine, or perhaps on dedicated action/lun? If during the individual, when the recommendation applies? If the e / s is high, or perhaps because of different things?
Thank you in advance for ideas and best practices.
Kind regards
Marek
Why a local storage for swap files would be useful while using NFS?
Just to reduce network traffic (side NFS) and the latency on the access of swap.
