Storage numbers don't make sense

'Disk utility' and 'about this Mac' show 320 used to 'apps' in the small bar where the use is broken down into apps, music, etc.

I most certainly do NOT have 320 apps, the actual number is closer to 15 GB.

In "Disk utility", under the said bar, he says (basically):

Capacity: 480 GB

Available: 400 GB

Used: 80 GB

These are, in fact, the correct number for what I really use and are available. I do not understand where these 320 ghosts come in "apps". In addition, this number actually continues to increase, it's 250GB several days ago.

As you can see, this Macbook is virtually empty, the only thing I have on it, apart from the operating system and all its own apps, is Microsoft Office, League of Legends, Spotify, smcFanControl, Razer Synapse, and about 700 MB in word/PDF documents, that's all. It starts and works exactly as should be expected for its hardware specification, which means enough wonder, so that this problem has really setbacks that the mere fact that it annoys and confuses me.

I use time machine, it is set to OFF.

This is a Macbook Pro mid 2012 with a 480 GB Kingston SSD + 8 GB 1600 MHz Corsair DDR3 (2 x 4 GB)

Processor: Intel Core i5 2.5 GHz

El Capitan 10.11.4 OSX

Thanks in advance, here are screenshots "about this Mac" and "disk utility".

  • I started to have some pop-under ads every time I run Firefox and uninstall instructions don't make sense, how can I stop these?

    In the last two weeks, whenever I run Firefox, a grandeur nature pop-under ad is also launched, regardless of which site I am browsing.

    The original ad was for a survey on You Tube and contains a link to coupondropdown.com, where there is a menu option for uninstalling. The uninstall instructions don't make sense, they do not mention what ad - control ads, and I can't work out what is responsible for the ads of my very basic range of ad - ons.

    The reason why I write, it is that ads increased by annoying but harmless, dangerous. The announcement today was conceived as a pop-up warning text says, ' detection: immediate Action required.» Fatal error in registry... click on 'Repair All' to eliminate all possible threats and clean your PC". I have screenshots of all the foregoing.

    I'm worried that another user, my son or mother, might take this warning seriously and install malware by accident. What can I do to prevent these ads? I expect this type of advertising malware on dubious websites, I get them when I try to access Hotmail, news, etc., so it is not the site that is originally.

    Sometimes a problem with Firefox can be a result of malware installed on your computer, you may not be aware of.

    You can try these free programs to search for malicious software that work with your existing anti-virus software:

    Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP, if you do not already have one.

    Hello

    I'm working on a sequence which is 00; 29; 29; 20 in length.

  • Installation printer host desktop 9 - docs don't make sense

    I tried to install printer host on a VM Windows 7 x 86 desktop 9.0.1.  The documentation under the section titled "Add printers from host a to a virtual machine" just does not add up to - sems to Miss thing.  When I do this:

    Procedure «»

    1 Select the virtual machine, and then select VM > Settings.
    2 click the Hardware tab, select Add.
    3. in the Add Hardware Wizard, select printer and finishing.

    Default device settings are to connect the printer to the virtual machine when the virtual machine is running. »

    Step 3 when I select printer, I get a message saying "Maximum reached."   What does that mean?   I never added all printers before, this is my first attempt.   Should I remove the printer and try again?

    In addition, this last section has me confused:

    "In a print window, when you try to select a printer in Windows 7 virtual machines, you can see only the default printer, even if other printers are available. To see other printers, right click on the default printer and point to printer properties. »

    In the "Print" window I see, there is no option to right click.   If I select the properties of the printer there is another printer, it's just the Properties dialog box you wait - how the hell other printers appear in the Properties dialog box a specific printer?

    What I'm missing here?

    Maybe there is a problem with the installation of the VMware Tools on the machine.

    Try reinstalling VMware tools and make sure that the virtual printing component is selected.

  • I have a MacBook Pro, beginning 2011, just upgraded to 8 Ram and have the storage capacity of 500 GB.  I need more storage for photos.  How much more can my grip of Mac, and it makes sense to add a computer that old?

    I'm trying to decided if I should try to add more storage to my lap top existing, or buy a new one with more memory.  I am a Photogaphy and need a lot of storage.  I have a MacBook Pro, in early 2011, just upgraded to 8 GB of Ram so I could upgrade to OSX E Capitan and add new software. I have 500 GB storage now and need a lot more. Would love 2 TB or more.

    What is the maximum I can add to my laptop? And does make sense to do?

    On the largest practical size warehouse readers coming always internally are about 1, 000 GB.

    To go more than you would have to decide if the portability was an important issue, because additional disks should probably be external. The Mac can support dozens of external hard drives. If you do not carry them, 'office' readers are faster and can be found in larger sizes. Their PIN 12-volt Motors require a lot more power that can be provided using Bus power, while they use their own power supplies.

  • Does make sense to upgrade to improve CPU E4500?

    Just more curious than what anyone whether or not it makes sense to upgrade the E4500 processor to something better in my HP Compaq DC7800 minitour.

    I just noticed there are a lot of new processors socket 775 as my E4500 processor, which is 2.2 Ghz, 2 MB cache L2, FSB FSB 8oo.

    I mostly use this computer for some average games (mostly 'source' based Steam games, which are not as intense graphics, as much recent games) as well as some general image processing. Also want to do as well light video editing.

    I wonder if anything under $100 would make a significant difference, or whether to just save for a newer computer.

    Thanks in advnace.

    Hello:

    I have a dc7800 with processor E8300 (stock entry) and I like the additional performance due to the larger cache.

    I don't know how the FSB of 1333 MHz plays in the equasion, because the memory at 800 MHz is a bottleneck.

    And HP installed memory PC2-5300 in most dc7800 who makes it worse to 667 MHz unless you put all chips from 800 MHz to your PC, as I did.

    If you want to upgrade, I'd go to E8600 and which should be a nice improvement.

    I also maxed out the memory to 2 x 2 GB PC2 - 6400, running W7 Pro 64 bit.

    You can buy a used, but tested and functional E8600 for $48.00 on eBay.

    http://www.eBay.com/Sch/CPUs-processors-/164/i.html?_FROM=R40 & _sop = 15 & _nkw = E8600 & RT = NC & LH_BIN = 1

    I'm sure that you will need to install the latest firmware update for not having any processor microcode error.

    I would also add that if you do not have a dedicated graphics card then, it will do much more for you than upgrading the processor, what about the graphics performance is concerned.

    I put a Radeon HD 6570 in my dc7800 CMT and it works just great.

    You can do an update of the video card for $75 or less.

    Just about everything with a 400W or card should less work.

    It's the one I got. I love the fanless models because it does not add noise and Fanless do fall on you.

  • Nexus 1000v - this config makes sense?

    Hello

    I started to deploy the Nexus 1000v at a 6 host cluster, all running vSphere 4.1 (vCenter and ESXi). The basic configuration, license etc. is already completed and so far no problem.

    My doubts are with respect to the actual creation of the uplink system, port-profiles, etc. Basically, I want to make sure I don't make any mistakes in the way that I want to put in place.

    My current setup for each host is like this with standard vSwitches:

    vSwitch0: 2 natachasery/active, with management and vMotion vmkernel ports.

    vSwitch1: natachasery 2/active, dedicated to a storage vmkernel port

    vSwitch2: 2 natachasery/active for the traffic of the virtual machine.

    I thought that translate to the Nexus 1000v as this:

    System-uplink1 with 2 natachasery where I'm putting the ports of vmk management and vMotion

    System-uplink2 with 2 natachasery for storage vmk

    System-uplink3 with 2 natachasery for the traffic of the virtual machine.

    These three system uplinks are global, right? Or I put up three rising system unique for each host? I thought that by making global rising 3 would make things a lot easier because if I change something in an uplink, it will be pushed to 6 guests.

    Also, I read somewhere that if I use 2 natachasery by uplink system, then I need to set up a channel of port on our physical switches?

    At the moment the VSM has 3 different VLAN for the management, control and packet, I want to migrate the groups of 3 ports on the standard switch to the n1kv itself.

    Also, when I migrated to N1Kv SVS management port, host complained that there no redundancy management, even if the uplink1 where mgmt-port profile is attached, has 2 natachasery added to it.

    While the guys do you think? In addition, any other best practices are much appreciated.

    Thanks in advance,

    Yes, uplink port-profiles are global.

    What you propose works with a warning. You cannot superimpose a vlan between these uplinks. So if your uplink management will use vlan 100 and your uplink of VM data must also use vlan 100 which will cause problems.

  • Adobe Premiere Elements 10. Does make sense to upgrade my 32 GB memory?

    I have the following Setup (purchased in September 2011).

    • ASUS P8Z68 DELUXE, chipset Z68
    • Intel Core i7 2600 K 3.4 Ghz, 8 MB
    • Kingston
    • M4 128 GB crucial SSD
    • ASUS GeForce Ti DirectCU TOP 1 GB 2xDVI II GTX560
    • WD 2 TB sata 600 (black edition).
    • Windows 7 prof 64 bit.
    • Adobe Premiere Elements 10 + Photoshop Elements 10

    On the 128 GB SSD, I installed Windows 7, office 2010, Adobe software, and the SSD is used to swap/temp-drive for Adobe elements and Windows 7.

    The second WD SATA 600 black 2 TB drive is used for all my equipment photo and video.

    When searching on the internet and on this forum, I understand that until the first elements Adobe 9 unused RAM memory beyond 3 GB because of the 32-bit adobe core of the series of elements.

    Can you and first Elements 10 (or higher) will use memory beyond 3 GB?

    When I install 32 (4 x 8 GB) GB of DRAM memory, the recommended windows pagefile will be around (2 x 32 =) 64 GB. With windows 7 and some software installed there are not a lot of space on the SSD to the first elements temp adobe reader. I probably set the temp on the WD 2 to 600 sata drive because there is more free space left.

    I don't know if it makes sense to upgrade my memory.

    1 does make sense to upgrade my 32 GB memory? And it will probably increase the rendering speed of the first 10 elements (or a version later first)?

    2 it is sensible to upgrade my memory up to 16 GB (4 x 4 GB)?

    3 the 32 GB memory-implementation to date costs about 300 euro/dollar. Is there a better way to improve the rendering speed (I'm not comfortable with overclocking the system)?

    Hope you can help me with this question.

    Thank you!

    You have a lot more power to edit AVCHD and other high-def video.

    You certainly won't hurt anything by adding more RAM - but you won't see better performance with first Elements 10 from 8-16 GB of RAM.

  • Don't make a left click or close the popup settings for Flash Player local storage

    New book from Surface, 200% display scaling. cannot left click or close the popup of local storage settings Flash Player (which is not scaled). Make a right click works, but cannot get rid of blocked dialogue. I see people saying Flash dialogues only work with the scaling to screen 100%, but this would make the screen of 3000 x 2000 pretty unusable. Is there a better solution?

    I just ordered a couple for the team the other day.  It took some time for our supplier of equipment start their storage.

    These dialog boxes are problematic for a number of reasons.  I'd love to see them disappear entirely.  In most cases, what you run is our protection fromclickjacking anti - being overzealous.  Flash Player is in an uncomfortable position, where it is difficult to ensure that we are the object of above and that our security dialogue box is not obscured by something malicious that tries to make you click on it.  This is particularly problematic if the dialog box appears on things that move, such as video.  Fixed bugs in the logic of clickjacking is a game of whack-a-mole, so usually set us on a config and finds that he has beaten another combination of factors of density/zoom screen/resolution.

    The best way to deal with the situation is to simply stop the dialog box to display in the first place.  The days when disabling Local Shared Objects in Flash you bought anything in terms of protection personal information are over long - HTML5 provides much more powerful functions to develop behavioral followed resilience.  The best approach in trying to stay private is to use only the browser incognito-private browsing mode.  This tricks Flash into thinking it has access to whatever he wants to write, but it happens in a temporary directory that is destroyed when you exit the private browsing session.

    Since Flash Player think actually that it runs with rein in Incognito mode, without dialog boxes to throw (unless you have set the default privacy preferences in the drive).  Incognito mode is far superior to management of granular controls of the Flash, because it also beats the approaches to monitoring of client - side HTML5 equivalent * and * is not usually degrade the user experience.  We do also some extra stuff to help the hurt to do server side footprints, like turning a very minimal list, sorted by alphabetical order of the policies in Incognito mode.  If you're curious about what can be done exclusively on the coast Server (and want to be depressed), check out https://panopticlick.eff.org/.

    Anyway, for this purpose, you can configure Flash Player to always allow sites to store local shared objects, or you can allow it on a site-by-site basis if it is a site of particular video or something that gives you consistent headaches.

    To do this, go to control panel > Flash Player > storage and choose an option.

    It is also interesting to note that there is a lot of superstition there since the beginning of the 1990s on the 'Flash Cookies' / shared/LSO local objects that holds true anymore.

    When you clear the cache of your browser, we remove our LSO.  The feature was scheduled for things like game save data and caching assets, but some smart marketing people find it useful to backup the data in the cookie of the user store, so that they had followed who survived a user to delete their cookies.  While the unfortunate and embarrassing, we corrected for a long time that, by adopting a behavior that we believe best match user expectations.  Unfortunately, once you get the stench on you, it is difficult to reverse.

    Hope that helps!

  • Universal Storage Interface don't you know? How can I start?

    While the review of code not writtien by myself (I can't post code and believe me I regret more than you think) I ran across the screw storage LV.

    One of the error codes I ran across "-2564".

    Give an article on the Interface of universal storage is required for an exe.

    A quick glance at these screws and the example to give me the same feeling I had when I first looked LVOOP code, ' Cool, but how the H32$ it works and how you can exploit this bug?

    So if you have a handle on the screw storage I would appreciate greatly any light you can throw on using the screw of storage and exploitation even.

    What exactly you need to know? Ask it help on the error you saw, or just for general information about storage screws?

    Storage screws are really cool technology, mainly for playback of files of different formats. You can write multiple formats of files as well, but the screw storage are not optimized for streaming data quickly on the disk. Use the TDMS functions directly for it.

    The coolest thing on the storage of screws is that they provide an interface of type TDMS (groups of channels, channels, named properties and data) for many formats of various files using a plugin system. So, you can download of the plugins that allow the screws to read (and sometimes write) storage formats TDM, PDM, CSV, TXT, DAT, MDF, MAST, XML and so on. It's perfect for your users, because you can give them a generic tool and that they use the file format of their choice they already have. From 2010 the screw storage can even automatically detect which plugin to use. Before that you have to manually choose the plugin right you based on the file format and what plug-ins have been installed. Very cool.

    The screw storage are wrappers around the layer of the ICU, who was born I believe in technology of DIAdem. I said before, they are optimized for playback of data quickly, do not write it. It has to do with the TDM storage format, which is the Basic for storage format live. TDM always stores all data of the contiguous string in the file. This makes it very quick to do research, analysis and other types of treatment. However, it is not ideal for streaming data to the disc, because usually you try to write small pieces of many channels at once. Try to do this while keeping all data of each channel as a whole is not optimal.
