Disk Space requirements for Upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion

Hi Everybody,
I have a MacBook Pro with a 500GB disk.
Thinking about upgrading to 10.8 but in the App Store the Customer Reviews are mixed leaning to negative.
In the last couple of weks I've been having a lot of negative experiences with Apple in specific this issue: https://discussions.apple.com/message/15394781#15394781.
I want to avoid having a negative experience if I decide to move forward with the upgrade.
Currently I have 47 GB free.

Will that be enough for the upgrade?
Thanks in advance!

No, it isn't.

What are the disk space requirements for CC2014?

Yes, Adobe has the system requirements for each INDIVIDUAL app in CC2014 listed, but they're all listed separately. Since I'll be installing the entire suite on my new machine, I'd like to know the disk space requirements for the ENTIRE suite.
Thanks

There's a summary in the table at the bottom of the page here:

Disk space required for business content activation

Hi everyone,
I'm looking for information about how much disk space is required for activation of differents parts of business content (or ultimately, ALL business content in NW04S). I'm also looking for that information on extractors side on R/3.
Reason why i'm asking is that I am convinced that it is better to activate as much Biz Content as possible straight at the beginning of an implementation project even though part of it should not be used in the first place(mostly because if you activate BC later while already in production you have high risks of overwrite or conflicts with existing objects). However I am often opposed the argument that this consumes useless diskspace blah blah blah...
I'd be curious to know the exact diskspace Biz Content actually takes when activated, so any information about it is welcome.
Thanks!
Christian

iam also agreeing wih ur opinion it is better to activate as much business content a implementaio level

Disk space required for Grid Control

Just getting started with the Grid Control. Anyone know roughly how much disk space is required for a basic installation?

I've re-posted this in the grid forum.

Why doesn't my free disk space increase when I delete files on Mountain Lion?

I just upgraded my Macbook Air to Mountain Lion. Now whenever I delete files my free disk space doesn't increase. I show only 500Mb free space now (out of 120Gb), even though I just deleted 50Gb of files. I tried to reinstall Mountain Lion, but it said I don't have enough space. I have a very simple setup, with no external apps except for Office 2011. I am NOT using Time Machine (I have it set to "off"), or any other backup programs, so I don't think this is the problem.
Also, I noticed that whenever I move a file to the trash, I am asked for my password, which is extremely annoying.
I am living in France, far from the nearest Apple store. Can anyone help? Thanks.

I think you should try repairing permissions on your Home folder...
http://osxdaily.com/2011/11/15/repair-user-permissions-in-mac-os-x-lion/
Startup holding command-r keys.
You will boot into the Repair Utilities screen. On top, in the Menu Bar click the Utilities item then select Terminal.
In the Terminal window, type resetpassword and hit Return.
The Password reset utility launches, but you’re not going to reset the password. Instead, click on the icon for your Mac’s hard drive at the top. From the drop-down below it, select the user account where you are having issues.
At the bottom of the window, you’ll see an area labeled ‘Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs’. Click the Reset button there.
The reset process takes a couple of minutes. When it’s done, quit the programs you’ve opened and restart your Mac. Notice that ‘Spotlight’ starts re-indexing immediately.

Upgrading from Tiger to Mountain Lion

I have a friend asking me What are the precise steps for upgrading from Tiger to Mountain Lion for a MacBook Pro
I have the Snow Leopard disk.

Coolio---that's what I figured (and told them). I also made sure they have an Intel processor, otherwise dead in the water.
Cheers,

They will need a minimum of a Core2Duo, the CoreDuo will not work, additionally they must have a 64bit EFI, machines that are compatible are ..... Macbook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
If they have PPC programs (Office 2004, Quicken etc) they will not work on Mountain Lion and will need to be replaced, might want to check if they do.

JDK1.4.2_02 disk space requirements (bugs 4842602, 4842606)

I can't find any way to install J2SE 1.4.2_02 on a machine with 70MB free on the C: drive. The installer reports "insufficient space on drive C:" and bombs out immediately, without giving me an opportunity to specify a different drive to install it on. I've looked at the description of disk space requirements in the release notes and it explains which components take up space in which drives, and in theory I should have been able to install it on my system - but I can't. I've set %TEMP% to a different drive in case the problem was caused by the temporary files used by the installer, no help.
Bugs 4842602 and 4842606 seem to match the symptoms I'm getting i.e. the installer insists on having 371MB free space regardless of the actual installation requirements. These two bugs are marked as fixed in "mantis-rc" and "tiger". What do these names relate to? I can't find any way to relate these to J2SE versions.
Can anyone advise on a workaround for this problem, or help me work out what "mantis-rc" and "tiger" are?
Thx,
Peter Humphries

I was aiming to install the JDK on a different drive, which had masses of free space. As I understand it, some components have to go on the system drive anyway (the public JRE I think) but most of it would have been installed elsewhere. However, the installer bailed immediately and didn't give me the chance to say what components I wanted or where I wanted them installed.
JavaSoft say the bug has been fixed in "mantis-rc" and "tiger". Is there any way to work out what releases these names correspond to?

DVD Disk Space Requirements - Best Performance vs. Quality

I put together an iDVD 8 project that has about 135 minutes of content. When I go to burn the DVD using the Best Performance setting, is says it takes about 7gb (and I need to use DL). When I switch to the Professional Quality setting the disk space requirements are about half (almost to the point I can use a single-layer DVD). It seems it should be the exact opposite where more detailed, less compressed images should take more disk space.
Can someone explain this apparent contradiction? Thanks.

Google and learn about MPEG2 compression.... this is the backbone to iDVD. In general you have three encoding options:
CBR: Constant Bit-Rate
Single Pass VBR (variable bit-rate)
Two-pass VBR
CBR keeps the bit rate constant and therefore is the fasted way of encoding.
VBR will vary the bit rate. Scenes with a lot of motion get a higher bit rate, static scenes a lower bit rate.
Two pass VBR will analyze the entire sequence on the first pass to determine where and how high or low to go with the bit rate and then on the second pass, do the actual encoding. The two pass method may determine that you can go with a much lower average bit rate thus saving precious disc space. This method also takes twice as long!
But, that is just the math. Some sequences look better via CBR while others look better with two-pass VBR. Unfortunately, there isn't really a way to determine this prior to the lengthy encoding process. The best thing one can do is keep content as short as possible. If I had 135 minutes of material and I was using iDVD, I would want to create 2 DVDs instead of one. But that's me.

Terribly sorry Joseph Kriz. I had absolutley no intention of annoying anyone. This was the first time I have been communicating in a discussion group, and as I wrote my comments I had no idea how my typing would reflect and where my question would be going. Hope my unintentional typing will be forgiven and causes no further agitation.The only additional comment I can make on your response is that "I do not use capital letters or CAPS LOCK while I try to enter my administrator password". Thank you for guiding me

I hv lost my icon for iphoto on my Imac Mac OSX10.5.8.   I still hv my pics but can no longer creat albums and events. If I upgrade to the latest Mountain Lion, will my pics go into the new iphoto?

From where did you lose the iPhoto icon? From the Dock? If so, then it's still in your Applications folder. Find it there then drag the icon back into the Dock. If it's no longer in Applications perhaps you've moved or renamed it. Use Spotlight to search for "iphoto."
Upgrading to Mountain Lion will not affect your iPhoto Library unless you erase the hard drive first. Be sure you backup before any system upgrade.
Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You must purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
         7. Xserve (Early 2009)
     Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
     Am I eligible for the free upgrade?
         See Apple - Free OS X Mountain Lion upgrade Program.

Hi kiwirudy,
I've had the same problem more than once since I started trying to download my 14 April purchase of OS X Mountain Lion.
I found a property list called manifest.plist in my ~/Library/Application Support/AppStore folder which had a Boolean property called failed checked. I unchecked it and afterwards I was able to resume my download.
Here are some steps I've found useful:
Close the Mac App Store.
make a copy of the ~/Library/Application Support/AppStore folder. For some strange reason the Mac App Store likes to just delete it in some circumstances, which will mean that one has to start one's download again from the very beginning.
Double click on the manifest.plist in one's ~/Library/Application Support/AppStore folder.
This should open it in Property List Editor.
Expand all the nodes (holding down the alt key and clicking on the highest collapsed node should do it.
Find a key called failed of type Boolean and uncheck it.
Save the manifest.plist and close it.
Open the Mac App Store.
The red message "an error has occured" should now be gone and one should be able to resume one's download.
In the event that the ~/Library/Application Support/AppStore folder gets deleted:
start the download again (it will start from the beginning), pause it and close the Mac App Store.
copy your backup copy of the pkg file back to its sub-folder (it's a numbered folder in the ~/Library/Application Support/AppStore folder).
Open the Mac App Store and resume your download.
It should continue from where it left off.
This has worked for me so far. I'm holding my breath. Don't know if I'll still be alive when it's finished.
Regards
Nic

How do I find out if my Mac OS x version 10.6.8 has enough memory space for me to down load Mountain Lion?

How do I find out if my Mac OS x version 10.6.8 has enough memory space for me to down load Mountain Lion?

You need to know 2 things
Ram, you need a minimum of 2GB, but 4GB (or more) is recommended.
HDD, you need a minimum of 20GB of hard disk space (including space for operation)
So.
Go to Apple>About this Mac and you will be able to see the amount of Ram installed.
Then select your hard drive (in Finder>Sidebar, usually called MacintoshHD) and click cmd-i (Command key and the letter I) look for capacity and available, post the results here.
