OS X V10.7 Lion :: File Size Calculation Is Inaccurate?

Apr 19, 2012

Anyone else noticed that file size calculation in Lion is inaccurate? I noticed when trying to burn cds or dvds with Toast, Toast would calculate the exact size, but Lion would give different results, either larger or smaller, but never accurate.I know for a fact Toast is right and Lion is wrong because I tested the same files in PCs, and in Leopard, and Lion's results are off the mark.Incidentally, I've been using Lion for a month now, and I have to say that in my 18 years as a Mac user I had never encountered so many annoying bugs when switching to a new OS. And don't get me started on the no-color sidebar!

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Temporary File Size - 200GB Available To 0 Bytes In 30 Minutes Or Less

May 25, 2012

I am not a newbie to computers so I am aware that temporary files (swap files) are par for the course. I also realize that when dealing with larger files (video, for example) swap files tend to grow larger. But I can't reconcile going from over 200 gb of available space to showing literally 0 bytes available in less than a half an hour. Granted, I am exporting a video from iMovie (about 2 hours) but to loose over 200 gb of available hard drive space to a swap file doesn't seem right. Is this really my swap file or is something else possibily going on here?

OS X Mountain Lion :: When Email PDF To Windows - It Reduces / Shrinks File Size

Aug 21, 2014

When I send a PDF to a windows user, the PDF shrinks.  I'm not talking about file size, but when they open the document, it's 50-75% of the original size and hard to read. 

On my computer everything looks fine.  I'm not using any filters to reduce file size.

Hardware :: Small File Size Limit To The FAT32 File System?

Jan 19, 2009

I 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?

OS X Mavericks :: After Copying File From NTFS To HFS Volume - File Size Changed When Viewing In Windows

Aug 27, 2014

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.

Applications :: Excel 2008 Substantial Calculation Errors

Sep 8, 2008

Has anyone noticed substantial calculation errors in EXCEL 2008 - specifically, the XIRR and XNPV function? I ran a cash-flow series and then ran both the XNPV and XIRR function. Then i used an alternative calculation methodology, using the SUMPRODUCT and Goal Seek functions, to calculation the NPV and IRR of the same series of monthly cash flows (note that these alternative calculation methodologies are used to produce the same incremental calculations that are supposed to be rolled up into the XNPV and XIRR functions).

Results: The XNPV is off by 1.26% and XIRR is off 26.77%. I guess that isnt to bad when considering the investment of millions of $. XNPV would only cost me $126,000 on the million. So much for Gold Standard of financial analysis. Whatever happened to Lotus 1-2-3? It might be archaic but at least it generated proper answers.

OS X :: Unable To Copy Calculation Results / Dashboard's Calculator Widget 10.4

Nov 18, 2010

I finally go around to upgrading to 10.5 from 10.4. One thing that struck me was that I could no longer copy to the clipboard the result of the computation in the Dashboard's calculator widget. Something I could do under 10.4

I can paste into it. I can copy/paste/cut in the Stickies application. But I can't copy out of the Calculator.I opened up the .html and .js files for the widget and yes there is a handler for the copy event but its not getting invoked.

OS X :: Last Opened Date Seems Inaccurate

Jul 26, 2008

Whenever I'm searching for a file and I use 'last opened date' as one of the options, it presents files that I know I didn't open within that timeframe (and I'm the only user here) as well as not including files I know I opened.

Any ideas? I don't know if something indexing my files is causing this, I do use Launchbar, but I can't imagine that's it?

OS X :: Optimum Swap File Size?

Sep 3, 2006

Since my Safari tends to show me the spinning ball very often recently I asked myself if I could somehow optimize the way MacOsX assigns memory.

As far as I know the system creates swap files with ~80 MB in size if necessary. My question is if there is an optimum allocation size for people with 1.25 GB Ram.

OS X :: Convert Fcp To Mov In Equivalent SIZE File?

Oct 4, 2009

I have an fcp file that is 244 mb - but when I export it to quicktime to convert into mov - it ends up being 2.2gb!! What am I doing wrong? My final mov final needs to be less than 1 gb for where I am submitting it.

Applications :: Reducing File Size For PDF?

Apr 27, 2010

I'm not able to reduce the file size of my organizations monthly newsletter. I found a good suggestion but I cannot find Color Sync Filter. Anyway, here's the instructions:

1. From within Pages or any other application you're creating a PDF from, click on "Print" in the File pull-down menu.
2. In the Print dialog box, click on the third pull-down menu box ("Copies and Pages"). Select "ColorSync" from the pull-down menu.
3. Click on the "Quartz Filter" button and select "Reduce File Size."
4. Click "Save as PDF."

I cannot find "Copies and Pages" I do have a choice to change which standard ColorSync but nowhere can I find "Quartz Filter". I'm using Pages 09 and have a brand new iMac - one month old.

MacBook Pro :: Vpn Maximum Log File Size?

May 28, 2012

I'm trying to figure out how to change the maximum log file setting for my Cisco VPN.  I think on a Windows machine you are able to do this: 

[Instructions for Windows: right-click "Computer" on your desktop, and select "Manage". Expand "Event Viewer" and then "Applications and Services Logs". Right-click on "Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client) and select "Properties. There will be a "Maximum log size" and a "When maximum event log size is reached" option.] 

I can't seem to figure out how to do this on my Macbook Pro.  I'm running 10.7.4 

Have tried viewing in Console and while i can see the ppp file - there's no way to see maximum file size settings.

iCal, Mac OS X (10.7)

I use Preview to merge PDF files. I have noticed that the resulting files are a lot larger than the sum of the single PDFs. An example: I have 3 files with the following file sizes: 70 KB, 120 KB, 1.3 MB. The resulting PDF after merging those files in one is over 5 MB.  

Why this is the case and how I can avoid it?

OS X :: Purple - Inaccurate Printing Colors?

May 23, 2009

I have a shared HP F2230 all-in-one attached to my mac running leopard 10.5.5. I have been printing regular MS Word black and white documents fine from my other Windoze vista / 7 Beta computers. Tried to print a colored photo but the colors are inaccurate and all the blacks turn into purple! This happens regardless of the application in windows (Paint, MS publisher, and even printer test page!) I tried to print the same photo in the mac and had no problem. I attached a photo of the print out from my windows 7 beta machine.
Tried to reinstall drivers, restart printer, restart mac, but it didn't work.

IMac :: AVI File Size Increased After Migration

I just got a new 21.5 inch imac a few days ago and I used migration assistant to move everything from my macbook. It displays .avi files that are really 350 mb as 366 mb. Why is this happening ? and even when I download new ones that are 350 mb they show up as 366 mb. Before I used the migration assistant I used this plug in for quicktime called Perian on it when it was brand new, but I think its erased now cuz I transferred all my data.

Applications :: File Size Not Working In Finder?

Apr 9, 2009

I have tried all of the combinations of settings I can think of. Currently I have the size column allows show up as well as having "calculate all sizes" enabled. I can always find the value I want with get info, but some of my directories and files display the size while others don't. I can't figure out any real pattern, aside from the following:

1. my non-bootable secondary hard drive doesn't display any sizes in Finder

2. sometimes sizes will be displayed for a particular set of directories and files and sometimes they won't (this is not a case of not being patient enough for the values to be calculated). The only pattern here seems to be that all files in particular directory will show file size or none.

3. sizes can not work in finder, but will show up in path finder or vice-versa.
