'Other' files

I am a music producer and have a lot of the music apps on my computer. I recently erased wide each project document various file so that I can make a Time Machine backup full of my entire system. I do that so that I can get out of my old hard drive and replace it with an SSD. I'm not very familiar with how this process should go. To compensate for my computer and my backup files, I noticed that I have about 390 GB of "Other" files on my computer that I can't seem to find a way to filter and clean. Is there a way to do this? What are these files? I don't think that my backup should take much more space. Suggestions or comments of things I should know? It would be much appreciated.

First of all understand what ANOTHER is actually:

https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT202867

If you want to make a review of what you actually have on your MBP download OmniDiskSweeper and Grand Perspective (both free) Internet and open them. They will show all your files and respective sizes. This should allow you to determine which files to remove or disable charge it to an external HARD drive.

Don't forget to empty the trash. Then only the space is allocated for the new data.

Ciao.

  • Get a preview of image files but not the other files

    In the Finder (or an alternative file manager) is there a way to show previews of image files, but not for the other files?

    With the image files, it will display a preview. With other types of file, a preview is useless and its best to see a standard icon indicating the file type.

    Any decent file on all Linux distributions browser lets you choose Preview vs standard icon based on case by case basis depending on the file type. I can't see how to proceed in the Finder (or the various alternatives as TotalFinder). How can I me Finder for this?

    The thumbnails, you mean? I don't think that there is a 'decent' solution for OS x. But then again, I don't know everything.

  • How to hide the sidebar with other files of Notes?

    OS X El Capitan (10.11.3)

    I am trying to read a PDF Acrobat Pro and take notes with Notes in my mac, side by side.

    I would like to know how to hide the sidebar on the left of Notes, where are the names of the other file.

    I don't want the files, I already went to 'View' and you click "hide files".

    I can just see the writing of the Notes area while sharing the screen with the document I read in Acrobat Pro.

    Looks like a basic feature which Apple or Adobe Acrobat Pro should have, but I can't seem to find it.

    Looked for other solutions to the App Store, but what I've found is a bit expensive.

    I appreciate any assistance.

    I asked that your thread moved to the El Capitan forum.

  • 'Other' file Type is the biggest consumer of our use of space VSAN... chart?

    Hello

    Today, I noticed the use of space in our data VSAN store graph. When I looked at the numbers, I was surprised!  Why is the 'Other' file Type on the 5 TB and our largest consumer of our data VSAN store? There is no backup or ISO data on our VSAN and when I browse the data store I can find no file strange c.q. directories.

    Anyone have an explanation for it?

    Zach, you're explanation makes sense and I hope that it is true. Maybe VMware can clarify this in future KB documentation.

  • SWF referencing other files - combine?

    Hello

    Recently, I used a program that converts a pdf file in a flash "flipbook" animation and exports as .swf or .exe. However, my problem is that when you export as .swf, it exports the frame/player and he calls movie.swf, it creates also 2 folders.  1 is called images, that each page of the pdf as a .swf and also a jpeg thumbnail.  The other file is called file and search xml etc in there.

    When the movie.swf is located in the directory with the other files, it loads the other pages, etc.  However, if you move the movie.swf to another location, it does not load anything, it shows the frame/player only.  (I guess it's because it's referencing other files internally)

    My question is, is it possible to convert this into a swf, which still has the feature click on pages to switch etc.


    Thank you.

    If you have only a swf (or exe) you can not change it.

  • Why several download windows pop up when I download a PDF file or other file?

    Whenever I try to download a file (PDF, JPG, DOC), which was attached to an email (I use Outlook WebMail) the document will download very well HOWEVER eight (8!) or more to download windows pop up as if I tried to download that file eight times (or more).

    So I 'X' by each window after downloading a file. This is the same file on each pop-up window.

    Since it is a new problem, I tried to turn off the computer and put back in operation but failed.

    Firefox 26.0

    Any help... PLEASE, I BEG YOU!

    Hello

    Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most of the modules.

    (If you use it, switch to the default theme).

    • Under Windows, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key option key when starting Firefox.
    • Under Linux, you can open Firefox 4.0 + with leaving Firefox then go to your Terminal and running Safe Mode: firefox-safe-mode (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)
    • Or open the Help menu and click on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item while Firefox is running.

    Once you get the pop-up, simply select "" boot mode safe. "

    If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. To do this, please follow article Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems .

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

    When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. It might help others who have the same problem.
