Found it: iPhone back-ups in the other persons home folder. Doesn't show me how or what their files are til I log into their domain. Thanks All.

Thanks, The Users Folder shows as 21 GB total for all users. Shared has some HD videos in it, so it's ~14 GB of the 22 GB shown. My personal User folder is only 7 GB, not many extra Apps, (MS office, Video file players and converters, etc). No "Deleted Users" shown, just Me, a family member, a...

Thanks. I don't have Time Machine activated. Back Up Automatically is unchecked. iTunes is pretty much empty, just a few streaming sites in a playlist. Gonna try to find where iPhone back-ups are kept, maybe the other user's iPhone back-ups are creating that huge amount of files.

Thanks Already checked the other person that uses the laptop's home folder and it's normal size. Deactivated the OS guest folder a while back.

Mac Book Pro (mid 2015) disk space is low. Looking in System Profiler > Storage > Manage it shows "Other Users" as having 145.4 GB. When opening "Manage" for the first time, "System" had the extra 145 GB then it shifted to "Other Users"; both hidden files that I can't access to see what it is...

Looking through them, nothing stands out. Is there somewhere specific I should be looking? And is there something in particular I should be looking for? Thanks.

It does not. I've rotated the drives (changed the wiring) so that different drives were last on the line and in every combination connecting the sixth one unmounts the whole chain. As soon as I disconnect the last drive they all reappear. I thought I had two bad cables, since it happened with...

They all have dedicated AC power supplies. I currently have the sixth one running on the front FW400 port. Two are 500 Gb Hitachi (original drives from the Mac Pro), the rest are Seagate 750 Gb (2) and 1 TB drives (2).

I have six external hard drives connected to a Mac Pro (2 X 2.66 GHz Dual Core Intel Xeon) via FW800 (daisychained). All are Quad interface, Oxford 924 chipsets; three are OWC single drive bays, one is an OWC dual bay two drive bay and two are CoolGear drives. Each time I connect the sixth...

Yes, it's the 1st Gen MacPro. I'll put the card in the first slot. I also have a BlackMagic Intensity Pro in slot 3 or 4. Thanks.

I bought a NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT to supplement my pre-installed NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT video card. One card will run two Samsung LCD's and the other card a third similar monitor. Would I see any improved performance in programs such as Motion if I swap card slots, putting the 8800 in the main...

is a decently priced quality scanner ($499 - $599). I scan directly to/thru Photoshop CS3 with a readily available plug-in. Has the Digital ICE software which does a great job of minimizing scratches, dust and other such blemishes on negatives. Scans at a high output resolution, 14-bit I...

or four if you include a Windows partition. I have many Hard Drives (12), many video files (1.25 TB) and photos (250 GB) and run a few different schemes for backing up stuff. Consider the following... Partition the new HD for just the OS and forget the video files (for now). Create a...

Try the pre-installed "Apple Script Utility". It's located in your Applications > AppleScript Folder. If you find yourself using it a lot, you can tell it to "Show Script Menu in Menu Bar" also. There are a few pre-made "Finder Scripts" for renaming in the Finder Scripts folder. They give...

So Software Update popped up with an update for Front Row, QuickTime and iTunes. Since I rely on this MacPro and Final Cut Studio for compositing, i figured I'd use Carbon Copy Cloner before installing any updates. But while CCC was indexing my main drive Software update popped back up and CCC...
