Could someone direct me to where/and what I can do to make a little home movie less big in file size? My movie is about 160 mb...and a little over a minute. Is there a way to make it less than 5 mb? And keep the same lenth? Do I have that ability on my new macbook? If I need a special program,...which one?

I have been using time capsule for only a few weeks and I have noticed that the file it has created "Elliot Newman's MacBook Pro_001b63936847.sparsebundle" only reads a file size of 95GB, when the disk I am backing up has 148GB used. Does this mean the backup doesn't contain all my files? I have to say it concerns me a little that the backup shows only a single file, is there anyway to see the files that time capsule has backed up? I am updating my MacBook soon with a bigger internal drive and I want to make sure all my files are backed up before I do this.

Most of the photos I receive are huge, about 1MB or more. In order to put them on my rescue group's website, they must be much smaller, preferably 100-200KB. Where in the world can I do this on iPhoto?
The only way I've found is to email the picture to myself. There absolutely has to be a better/faster way.
I need to upload photos to an account and they are too large. How can I make the size smaller?

ive been triying to store all my dvds into my external HD but im having trouble with file size... i have a 250GB External HD. it has bout 50 GB of music files, pages docs... just a backup of a few things... but all my dvds are using up more that 150GB. all the movies ive backed up using mactheripper. also ive used handbreak to move those movies onto iTunes > iPod. my question is if i can reduce file size without losing dvd extras, language menus, etc. handbreak doesn't do this so im looking to make the VIDEO_TS folder's files smaller.

Somehow I managed to do a "stroke" on the trackpad that made the icons on my desktop very large. I can't figure out what I did or find a setting to change them back to small size.
Anyone know the stroke or where to find the setting?

I've just tried to mess around with some stuff in iTunes so i can sync my iPhone on both of my Macs. I did it all as instructed but when I opened the window was huge, and I can't make it any smaller. It's like a copy of my iTunes on my 24" iMac.
I tried deleting everything iTunes related and reinstalling but still the same.
Anyone got any solutions as to how to have a COMPLETELY clean version of itunes, or how to make the window smaller?
My screen (desktop) is too large for my monitor, how do I make it smaller.
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen my girlfriend and I are in different time zones, which is unfortunately quite often, we communicate in part by sending small "movie postcards" to each other. We've been doing this with iMovie and the built-in iSight cameras in our macbooks, up- and downloading the .mov files using Dropbox.
This has worked OK, but the files are quite big, about 100 MB per minute. With slow bandwidths this can be a pain, and the image quality isn't that great, so I'm thinking there must be a better way to do this. Can't the video files be made smaller?

I need to compress a file so that I can post it on the internet. The max file size is 250kb and the zip I have is 600kb. Can you recommend a free tool that will allow me to compress it even smaller?

With this new verson, the window is barely adjustable down, & takes up about 70% of an active screen on this 19 in. widescreen LCD. I downloaded & installed sizewell but doesn't give this "shrinkdown" function.

View 24 Replies View RelatedI was wondering if there is a small file size limit to the FAT32 file system. I recently picked up a 1TB WD external with Firewire (pre-formatted FAT32) and have been transferring movies and such fine, but I just tried transferring an HD movie (5GB) and some large .dmg's/.iso's and they all just fail with an error.
Is this a size limitation, and will i need to reformat the drive to fix it, or is there something else I'm missing?

I have a Mac Air running Mavericks on a HFS partition and Windows 7 on a BOOTCAMP NTFS partition. I have some files that I want to read/write from/to both systems. Since OS X can't write NTFS and Windows can't write HFS either, and I don't want to use any 3rd-party tools/drivers, in OS X, I copy those files from NTFS to its HFS partition, make changes, then switch to Windows and sync them back to NTFS.
The problem is, after I copied a file from NTFS to HFS in OS X, it seemed ok. But when I switched to Windows, the very copied file in HFS partition had its size changed (bigger) although I didn't make any changes to it in OS X yet. This happens to almost every file I copied, text and binary. For those text files, I tried to open it with EditPlus in Windows and EditPlus reports the correct size on the status bar.

View 1 Replies View Relatedi have a 13 inch macbook pro, and i want to set the screen size bigger than 1280 * 800, to maybe 1600 * 1200 or something. obviously i cant fit more than 1280 * 800 pixels in the 13 inch MBP screen, but I want it to function as kind of a 'cropped' screen - so i'd have to move my trackpad around the corners of the screen to see more of the desktop. i know it will look like crap and be a bit cumbersome, but i don't really care about that. is there any way to do this?
by the way, i don't NEED the ability to use my trackpad to move around the screen. i don't plan on using my MBP like this permanently, this is just for experimental purposes.

When I open a file in finder, it shows me how big the file is. Great.
When I search for a file, the size of the file � how big the file is � is not shown.
I would very much like to see the size of the file when searching for a file.
