How do I get more space in a "Documents" window?

I wonder if someone can help me with this. I recently upgraded from 10.3.9 to 10.4.9. When I open, for example, the "Documents" window and find the page is full with folders/files I place the arrow cursor in the bottom right hand corner and move the window up. I then pull the scroll bar down, place the arrow cursor in the bottom right hand corner and pull the window down. Under 10.3.9 the folders/files would stay where they were and I would get more free space. Under 10.4.9 it doesn't do that; pulling the window down means pulling everything else down as well. So the window remains full with folder/files all the time. Is there a way of changing it as it was under 10.3.9?

Open the window, hit the end key, and expand the window, via the lower right-hand corner triangle. Works here and always has in Tiger. If that doesn't work on your machine, then I suspect a corrupt preference file. Create a new admin user account, log into, and see if the problem exists there. If not, then it's one of the preference files listed in the new account's /Library/Preferences/ folder that's screwy. Make a list of them, log back into the old account, move the same one's, one at a time, to the Desktop, OPTION-click the Dock's Finder icon, and select Relaunch. Do that until you isolate the one's that are causing the problem. Start with the com.apple.finder.plist.

Update using iTunes on your computer. The space requirement does not apply because of how the process works via iTunes as opposed to over the air.

How do you get more space on your harddrive?

Someone showed me one time how to change my harddrive to open up more space on it and I can't remember how

Well, the only way is to remove files. Preferably files that you no longer need or want.
My advice would be to download and install OmniDiskSweeper, which tells you where your largest files and folders are. You can then decide which files can be wiped. It's a really good idea to have a backup of everything, just in case you change your mind later.
Of course, you may decide that you can't delete anything, in which case your recourse would be to install a larger hard drive.

How can I get more space?

I was out of memory space so I purchased 200GB on my iPhone but when I try to take pictures it still says there is not enough available storage.
In Settings it says I have 187 of 200GB available. But under storage it says 0 Bytes remaining. I have already charged my phone while connected to wifi twice and have no idea if anything has been transferring to this imaginary cloud. How can I use the GB I purchased?

Im confused I thought iCloud was to transfer data from my phone there so I can have more room on my phone.
I Can't transfer anything from my phone to my desktop because it says another apple product is already registered to that computer

How can I get more space between items in a line of text .. elegantly

Ok I have some equations that follow each other in a text line, eg
Xc=10^6/2 pi f C Xc = 10^6/2* pi *50 * C Xc = 10^4/pi C ................. etc.
Is there some way I can eg put a css entity in the paragraph so I can dimension the space as a box?
I've tried with a but it just includes the statement as text.
And if i put Xc=10^6/2 pi f C etc
it puts the equations on different lines.
And multiple s is a cludge, so is invisible images. There MUST be a nice way to do this?

One way is to do something like this:
1) create your styles like this:
span {
 font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;
 letter-spacing: 3px;
2) create your HTML like this:
 Xc = 10^6/2* pi *50 * C Xc = 10^4/pi C 
Now is this what you are looking for? If not please post back so that something else can be suggested like Math HTML such as this one:
<MATH>∫_a_^b^{f(x)<over>1+x} dx</MATH>
FF and latest IE9/10 supports MAtH HTML as far as I know.
This is the picture of display in IE10:
Good luck.

buy an external HD 1TB for $60
NO notebook is a mass storage device, so dont try to turn it into one, it doesnt work that way.
Unless youre using it every couple weeks, its static data and should be on an external HD
In the case of a Macbook Air or Macbook Pro Retina with ‘limited’ storage on the SSD, this distinction becomes more important in that in an ever rapidly increasing file-size world, you keep vital large media files, pics, video, PDF collections, music off your SSD and archived on external storage, for sake of the necessary room for your system to have free space to operate, store future applications and general workspace. You should never be put in the position of considering “deleting things” on your macbook SSD in order to ‘make space’.
Professionals who create and import very large amounts of data have almost no change in the available space on their computers internal HD because they are constantly archiving data to arrays of external or networked HD.
Or in the case of the consumer this means you keep folders for large imported or created data and you ritually offload and archive this data for safekeeping, not only to safeguard the data in case your macbook has a HD crash, or gets stolen, but importantly in keeping the ‘breathing room’ open for your computer to operate, expand, create files, add applications, for your APPS to create temp files, and for general operation.

How to get more space in iphoto? It says I don't have any more space?? Help...

You can look at the material stored and see what you don't need and delete. But a better way is to get an external hard drive and move large quantities of material to the external storage. That will free up internal storage capacity.
