Why in a memory, i've got 930 GB of free space, but applications deal with 250 GB?

I have a little problem. When I open "My Mac" > "Space of memory", I see 930GB free space but the applications have 250 GB. I don't know how much space I have on my mac. Reset the computer does not resolve the problem.

The total amount of use is normally adequate. But sometimes the aswell may be displayed correctly.

To correct the amount stated and used in each category, try reindexing of Spotlight

  • Add memory to HP ENVY Phoenix 800 - 070st - free space for the locations of memory behind the radiator.

    Hello

    I ordered a HP ENVY Phoenix 800 - 070st with 16 GB of memory and is to be delivered Friday. My question is how much clearance is here to the sticks of memory in the slots behind the radiator and the radiator has to be removed for adding memory to these two locations. Will it take low memory footprint, or is there room for mem sticks with heat sinks. It won't be here until next week, if just trying to plan ahead.

    Thank you

    Bryan

    Gateb, welcome to the forum.

    I can't find any warnings about any of your concerns in the specs of HP.  However, having said that, I suggest wait you receive the computer to make purchases.  HP isn't necessarily embracing third-party updates.  Memory performance with heat sinks can be very important, as you know, or you have asked the question.  Better safe than sorry.  Just my $. 02.

    Moreover, it is a great computer.

  • Time Machine - I have masses of free space, but Time Machine keeps deleting old files - why?

    Time Machine - I have masses of space free (about 2.5 TB) but time machine keeps deleting files of more than nine months. Is there a parameter limiting that I don't know?  My backup drive is a 4 start Drobo drive.  I have everything works fine except this irritating issue.  Any ideas out there?

    Hello Mike Oscar.

    I hope that I am able to help you with your concern today. If I understand you correctly, in Time Machine, files of more than 9 months are deleted. Time Machine to save space. I'm not sure if Apple is allowing us to extend this period to 12 months or even 16 months, but it would be a great recommendation. I hope I could help you with your concern.

    Best regards

  • Help! I installed yesterday the music notes with approximately 900 MB of free space on my iPhone 8 gb 5 c. When I tried to record a song of the trial, I got a message saying that I had no space on my phone. ITunes says I have 2.7 GB on the other!

    Help! I installed yesterday the music notes with approximately 900 MB of free space on my iPhone 8 gb 5 c. When I tried to record a song of the trial, I got a message saying that I had no space on my phone. ITunes says I have 2.7 GB on the other! Anyone else had this?

    I did a full restore and got 2.9 GB of free space, but in an hour (without using phone at all) I was at 0 MB of free space. Phone is unusable!

    Anyone who has had this and what I can do about it?

    Since your not sure what the 'others' are I would recommend you to restore your iPhone. I know that you will lose all your data, but not restore from a backup of iCloud so start as a new phone. You can back up your choice and if necessary to write all your contacts on a sheet of paper and then add hide them. Depending on the severity, you want that storage

  • Why defragment reduced my free space on the disk?

    I show to have only 10% of free disk space on... VISTA lecteurC.  Thought that defragmentation would increase free space, but it reduces.  Don't understand why I should only less than 10% free space - I do ot DOWNLOAD music or movies and have very few pictures, and yes I'm dim when it comes to HER.

    I suggest that you use CCleaner to remove your temporary files because it is more aggressive than WIndows disk cleanup. With a C: drive however, this size you always are going to have problems. Size fluctuations are most likely due to points of system restore and Volume Shadow Copy.

    You can reduce the space they are taking by using disk cleanup and choose the option "files for all users on this computer." When you get to the window to select files to delete, click on the 'More Options' tab and click on the button 'Clean up' in the section 'Sytem Restore and cliché '.

    This will make that space available for a time until several restore points are created.

  • Why the Tecra M11 - 11 M got only the 32-bit version of Windows 7?

    Why the Tecra M11 - 11 M has only the 32-bit version of windows 7 and 64-bit?

    Surely the i7 and 4 gb can deal with applications and the 64-bit version would allow a more efficient use of computing power.

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    You can try the 64-bit Vista for Windows 7 64-bit driver, most of them must be compatible. I don't know why Win 7 64 bit drivers are not available, there is a user forum and nobody can answer you, I guess.

    Generally no.
     
    How many memory currently have installed? How did you buy?
    Did you buy exactly the same type, brand, model, etc. ?
     
    Why do you want more memory? Depending on how much you have now, and
    What applications you are running, it may or may not do anything for you. More memory
    is this not better for everyone. This is my standard message on this
    Object:
     
    The amount of RAM you need to good performance is * not * a
    unique situation for all. You get good performance if the amount of
    RAM you have prevents you from using the file page in a meaningful way, and
    It depends on what applications you are running. Most of the people a typical range running
    Enterprise XP applications find that somewhere around 512 MB
    works well, others need more. Almost everyone will see poor performance
    with less than 256 MB. Some people, especially those who do things
    as modification of large photographic images, can see an improvement in performance by
    adding even more 512 MB - sometimes much more.
     
    If you currently use the page file significantly, more memory
    will reduce or eliminate the use and improve your performance.
    If you do not use the pagefile significantly, it will make more memory
    nothing for you. Reach
    WinXP - 2K_Pagefile.zip and monitor your use of the page file. Who should
    give you a good idea of more memory can help and if so, how
    lots more.

    You have 35% of your hard drive free. It's disk space, also called
    storage. It is not memory, what is RAM. Adding memory will not make
    any changes to the available disk space.

  • I have an Air of MacBk 2010 & I get the mssg "system is out of memory of the application", so it is impossible to open the Mail, Safari, etc.. But sometimes I can't. I deleted photos or videos for free space; no luck. What should do?

    I get the message "your system has wearied of the memory of the Application." So I can not open Mail, Safari, or any application.  However, I can periodically, the first thing in the morning, after I Shut Down & power up, not after a reboot.  I deleted a lot of photos and videos to free up space, but not luck.  IPhotos, I get the mssg. "cannot import pictures because not enough free space on the volume containing the iPhoto library."     The problem might be related to: 1 overheating, 2 PureVPN although I installed about 5 months ago and it was very good; 3. the MB Air was diverted (I'm worried that PureVPN may have something to do with it).  Or is this a sign that I need to get a new laptop?  Thanks for any help you can offer!

    release disk space and short-term memory are two different things. If your computer is running more disk space, it will have a negative effect on your system.

  • Why Divx won't play video with sound on Firefox, but will play with sound on Chrome?

    DivX will play movies based on the web in both sound and audio on Chrome.

    DivX will play only video on Firefox.

    I've deleted and reinstalled Divx on my computer.

    I have a desktop running Vista.

    I just became aware of this problem yesterday. In the past, I got no problem to launch these videos on Firefox with the sound and video.

    I had this problem with videos at home yesterday as well.

  • After systemrestore free space left on the memory

    I did a lot of restoration of the system of recent times, downloading some applications like Frontpage to use for my dish and then copying the disk then I just system restored to an earlier time before that I had installed Frontpage or any software that I had to do.

    My free space on my computer toshiba laptop fell to 23%, is it possible that I can increase it because she was no longer always on before I started regularly using System Restore. I checked all my existing files in the Panel and there is nothing there I don't know, but it seems that the apps I've used always take memory even if I can't locate them.

    Can anyone help?
