Finder status bar way off
Has anyone else noticed the Finder status bar showing much more disc space than there actually is?
It's also inconsistant. Right now mine says 330gb available. I only have a 320gb HD.
I've also got that empty trash problem when I try to empty large files out of the trash. (Takes forever) I'm going to try the Terminal method next time to see if that straightens it out.
Hadn't noticed that but you're right. Finder says 553GB and about this mac says 574GB. Disk utility and click on the drive itself both agree with 574GB. The finder status bar is inconsistent.

Finder status bar showing wrong available drive space
The status bar in finder windows is saying that I have more space availible than I actually do. This problem is not occuring on external drives. Everything from quick look to third party system monitoring apps all show the correct space availible, and the only thing that says otherwise is this finder status bar.
Having the same problem here - MacBook Pro (one week old) 10.8.2. Started up from the "repair disk" and ran disk utility - both repair and fix permissions. No correction.

10.10.3 Finder Status Bar information is wrong, TB not GB
Have you noticed how the 10.10.3 Finder Status Bar information is wrong and it shows Terabytes left on a drive of 750 GB after update. See attached. This is not possible
There's something wrong with your hard drive. Or you have Time Machine enabled and all that space is taken up by backup snapshots. I would do the following:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Yosemite, Mavericks, Mountain Lion or Lion
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility and press the Continue button. After Disk Utility loads select the Macintosh HD entry from the the left side list. Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If Disk Utility reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit Disk Utility and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu. -

Finder window: Grey spinning wheel in status bar and not able to access files?
Can anyone help with this issue which has utterly perplexed me for 24 hours now.
I have all of my photos and videos stored on an external hard drive. Yesterday the hard drive started misbehaving and when I tried to access files it would simply not load them, the folders would appear empty (even though the files were there) and a grey spinning wheel would appear at the bottom of the finder window. This would then cause the finder to (sometimes) slow down and require restarting.
This has continued today, the drive seems to be okay according to Disc Utility, Disk Warrior and TechTool - all of them showing no errors but the drive continues to behave very strangely. To be safe I am transferring everything to another drive as we speak.
In the finder status bar a grey spinning "wheel" will appear in the bottom right corner whenever the drive tries (and subsequently fails) to load content. Here's a screenshot, notice also the icon for the drive changes to a blue icon with a series of wavey lines:
I've no idea what is causing this or why its happening. It's very odd and the drive will act okay until you try to access files, then it will just indefinately show the grey spinning wheel.
Strangely a moment ago all of my drives became "read only" (including the Macintosh HD) and were ALL doing this. The problem only occurs when my current Media external hard drive is plugged in, so I'm transferring everything off it (which I hope will be successful). It does this on any machine its plugged in to, yet it's not got any problems according to various tests with disk utility etc.
Any help?i was getting the spinning grey wheel in status bar, with no files displaying.
this thread describes re-launching Finder - which did the trick for me - though my issue was with the internal hard drive, not an external

The so called "Status Bar" has apparently gone away since FF4, I'm now onto 6 I think, on my work machine. But one of the things I liked about the Status Bar was that it could be hidden entirely.
With no Status Bar, now when a page is loaded in FF, you get a floating "Status Notification" in the bottom left corner for a second or two while the page is loading (this even happens in FullScreen F11, something I never had to deal with when the Status Bar existed).
What I want to know is, is there a way to turn off this "Status Notification" entirely? A setting somewhere? Something in About:config? I haven't been able to find anything.1. Install the addon Status 4 evar, which puts the status text back in the status bar: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/status-4-evar/
2. Hide the status bar by right clicking the refresh button and unchecking "Addon bar" -
Status bar moves from left to right, while using "find"?
I use the "Find" (ctrl + F) feature quite a bit, and when the "Find" tab is viewable at the bottom, the status bar information moves from the left side of the screen to the right side. This is very off-putting to me and I was wondering if there was any way that this could be fixed so that it always appears in the same spot.
Since it involves the status bar see item #10 "Status-4-Evar" extension as a solution in

How do I turn off and on the icon size slider bar at the lower right status bar of a folder window.
I have been trying for days to help a friend with a new iMac to turn on the icon size slider bar that on my iMac appears at the bottom of ever folder when it is open when in the "view" > "icon" mode. I cannot find anything that discusses this slider bar. I can turn this status bar off and on on both my machine and my friends machine, but I cannot turn off or on the slider on either machine.
This did not help. I am a Mac User since 1984 and generally I am never stymied buy the Mac OS, but this one has me. I can open and close the lower status bar, as you described, and that works fine for me because I have the icon slider bar already there and it works fine; however when I open the lower status bar on my friends machine there is no icon size slider bar, and I can't seem to find out how to get it there, as it is on my machine or at all. The icon size can be controlled from the View menu, but as a photographer, it is really handy to have it at the bottom of the folder window. Thanks for trying.

My Macbook Pro software was failing and the Apple Store was able to restore it without removing the partition on my hard drive that contained most of my files including all my iTunes content. Initially when I re-setup my library I simply went to file--> add to library. Shortly after I realized that was essentially copying the library to the other portion of the partition because I forgot to change the location of the library. So I deleted the content already copied & then I re-setup the library, by asking it to be pulled from the previous location using this pages advice: iTunes: How to open an alternate iTunes Library file or create a new one
It appeared to work & everything I thought was imported. But on closer inspection, it appears that I have 30gbs less appearing on the status bar in the iTunes app than I do when I pull up the info on the iTunes Music folder in my finder. I'm not sure if this means somehow I have 30gbs of duplicates in my finder folder or if (most likely) I somehow didn't fully import the library from that file. Any advice? Is there a way to restore iTunes to factory settings again & set it up correctly this time?
Also I never actually trashed the original content I accidentally transferred to the other drive but when i skimmed those in my trash bin it appears they ARE indeed in iTunes, so I have no clue what didn't actually import. Any ideas?! I'd greatly appreciate it!You could have all the computers point to the same library but it can't be opened by more than one at any time.
No answer for knowing which library is in use other than selecting it at startup. This question gets asked here occasionally but I don't think it is a high-demand feature since most people have just one library. I guess you could put in an empty playlist with the library name so you have an identifier. -
The status bar is blocking my content, is there a way to disable it via Javascript and the likes?
I'm working on a site that requires a bottom footer in a fixed position, with a control button on the left hand side, my problem is, that the `new` status bar area covers this section for quite some time whilst it's requesting data, or waiting for the server, is there a way to disable it via JavaScript or some sort? It seems kind of silly for a status bar to cover your content (no offence), the old way was much nicer, sure it used more screen space, but atleast it didn't assume things. I just couldn't find a solution anywhere else, other than to move the button. :)
You can use this extension to hide the pop-up that shows the URL of a link on hover and other data that previously appeared on the Status bar.

No sound. Mute is not checked, volume all the way up on iTunes and on status bar. What am I doing wrong or missing? I restarted last night and it worked before that but not since, any one have any ideas?
Thanks, RobFirst off did you go to System Preferences > Sound > Output > And is the correct output selected?
Any red light coming out of the headphone jack? If so, you'll need to re-set the little switch in there by inserting a 3.5mm jack carefully in & out 20 odd times. Or grab a toothpick (non-conductive) and a flashlight.
Tried anything else that produces a sound? On restart do you get the chime? Perhaps check into Audio Midi Setup to ensure your output is selected correctly using the cog at the bottom left. -
[Pacman] Status bar (progres bar off all) + some options
Hello,
I try to find some topic about this subject, but search engine don't show me any info about this. So I want to propose a status bar off all downloaded files, how many Mb we have to download, how many we download, % information about progres, and a simple progres bar.
Something, like this:
nvidia-185.18.31-1-i686 2,9M 113,5K/s 00:00:27 [###############################################] 100%
pinentry-0.7.6-1-i686 211,6K 116,0K/s 00:00:02 [###############################################] 100%
xcb-util-0.3.5-1-i686 59,6K 110,4K/s 00:00:01 [###############################################] 100%
xf86-input-synaptic... 54,8K 94,3K/s 00:00:01 [###############################################] 100%
====================================================================================
Time left: 1724s, Downloaded: 4309K of 8230K, Progres: 50%, average speed: 108K/s, Package 12 of 24
This bar it can be bellow at all ( I think it'll be very helpfull ), and It's posible to add a option in pacman, I mean a -y (yes), for example:
pacman -Syu -Yes
or something like that, it'll auto accept to upgrade a packages from repo.
Some think like auto reboot after installing everything without error, for example:
pacman -Syu -Yes -Reboot [time]
It's only a suggestion, but this bar will be great.man pacman.conf. yes = "--noconfirm".
reboot:
alias upandboot="pacman -Syu --noconfirm && /sbin/shutdown -r now" -
we feel it better to have a status bar in firefox.we got it in firefox3 but can't find in firefox4&lettest.its really embarrasing for us not to see the exact status of browsing.is there any solution to browse lettest version with old status bar.please answer or we have to use the old one because its very ugly to see a revolving status.
I checked the status of the server and hard drive by booting off of the 10.4 installation disk, select utilities and disk utility.
I know very little about terminal, however I'm pretty good at dos so I can figure some things out if given some commands.
Anyway, I ran some commands and here are the results:
megaraid -showstatus
MEGARAID CLI version 1.0.12
No cmd argument
Um, so I think I remebered the command incorrectly and I did -showdevices instead. Sorry.

Grey wheel perpetually spins in Finder window status bar.
Why does the grey wheel (Different from the beachball), in the lower right hand corner in the status bars, in some of my Finder windows, continually spin? Some for hours and never stopping.
The Finder window functions normally although sometimes slower than before installing Mavericks. Have already reinstalled the OS.
It doesn't happen in every Finder window.
I hope it isn't slowing my computer down or causing hardware to overwork.
I'm wondering if things are working properly.
Can anyone help with this?This grey wheel in the lower right corner keeps spinning. Never stops. Some windows have it. Others don't.
