Finding File Sizes

How is it possible to find out the individual sizes of each file/folder? I'm talking about application type files as well as random document files that I also have.
Thank you.

You can open a finder window. Look on the upper frame of the window and find view. Then click on the view button that has straight lines.
I like to use whatsize for this. It gives a view of aal the files on your hard drive and sizes.

  • Finder file size on external drive

    When I do Finder->File->Get Info, I get total size of contents of current folder in the window.
    But when I do the same thing on an external drive, I do not.
    Is there a way to make that info show up?
    Thanks.

    I went to the Iphoto Library file in Finder, selected it, then moved the file to my external hard disk drive, which has a 500GB capacity.  So, even though I called this "backing up" maybe it was "copying" - but I do not understand the difference.
    A backup is a copy on a different device - so copying to an external device is a backup - UNTIL you start using that copy as your library - then it is the library and you have no backup  --  and note that if you do not have a backup you are 100% guarenteed to lose all of yoru photos sooner or later - computers, software and people fail and when they do a current backup is the only thing that will save your photos and other files
    Finally, I re-opened Iphoto, and when it asked me to select a Library, I chose the library file that I had copied onto my external hard drive.  All of my photos then re-loaded into Iphoto, and I have been looking and them and selecting some for deletion.
    So when you did this you started using the iPhoto library in the EHD and everything you do is reflected there
    I believe I understand what you've said - that changes I make (whether deleting, renaming, cropping, etc.) to photos in this file are being made directly onto the external hard disk drive.
    Yes
    So, to be absolutely specific, when I delete a photo in Iphoto to the TRASH CAN and then EMPTY the trash can, this photo is now and forever GONE from the external hard disk drive.
    Maybe
    To delete from iPhoto when using a default "managed" library (the iPhoto preference to "copy imported items to the iPhoto library is in its checked state)  drag a photo from an event to the iPhoto trash (or select it and press delete) and then empty the iPhoto trash and with iPhoto '11 under Lion empty the system trash - then the photo is gone forever from the external hard drive
    And edits I make to photos are SAVED to the external hard disk drive.  IS THAT CORRECT?
    Yes

  • Finding file sizes for target DFs with RMAN

    Hi,
    Does anybody know how to find the size of datafiles with RMAN database, when the entire target database is lost ?
    I have a full and incremental backup of the database using RMAN. Because of the way target db is physically laid on disks, I need to do "setext" to create data files of proper size before restoring them from RMAN backup.
    Thanks in advance,
    Kiran.

    Dear user522620,
    Have you created, configured and synchronized the catalog? Have you even registered the backed up database to your catalog? Have the user that backs up the database got the recovery_catalog_owner privilege?
    What is your connection string before backing up the database? Have you connected to your recovery catalog database?
    Please can you show the connection string? I think you have missed to connect to the recovery catalog database.
    # rman target sys/password catalog backup_owner/password@oracle_sid

  • Finding File Size Summary

    How do you find the total file size for your library?
    Thanks,

    You might look at the bottom toolbar of iTunes, there's a number of items, total time and the file size of the library there; you could also find your iTunes Music folder (most likely in your main music folder) and ctrl click/right click on that folder and "Get Info."

  • How do I find the size of a video file in iTunes store?

    Is there any way to find out how big a video file is before I download it to my computer? I see that movies show the file size in the product description, but what about episodes of a TV show? Or a complete season? Or a video in iTunes U?
    I tried "right clicking" (or whatever that's referred to on a Mac, sorry, I just recently got my Mac) to get info on a few files, but it says the size is unavailable. I have an iPod Touch I'd like to get videos for, but I don't have a ton of space after putting all my music on it, so that's why I'd like to know the file sizes in advance.

    You can figure for a 1 hour TV show - about 40-45 minutes of video - you will have a file size of about 450-550 meg.
    A movie such as Pirates of the Carri..... will weigh in around 1.6-1.8 gig.

  • How can I display file size in Finder

    Hi folks,
    I am trying to figure out where 40GB of data is hiding. I would like to see file sizes in the Finder window associated with my folders in Mountain Lion 10.8.2..  I'm having, what seems to me, a strange problem. When I 'Get Info' on my Hard Drive, the disc space left is only 40GB out of 120GB (ie used being 80GB). My confusion is that when I painstakingly go through the files, I can only account for 48 GB with 'Get Info' on each folder. This is a rather combersome process and I am hoping there is a work around for viewing the file sizes within Finder and not having to open 'Get Info' on each and every folder like I have been.
    I have a MacAir 13 inch 2011
    Thanks!

    Thanks for your time and suggestions, dominic23.
    I looked through both links and sadly, none of these suggestions have worked. I have tried many on my own since posting trying to figure out why the volume is being doubled on my hard drive. I've deleted log files, and done a sweep with Onyx to no avail. Strangely, the option of seeing the volumes under 'About this Mac' and 'System' does not have a listing for storage. Weird. I am the only user/administrator on this computer and I don't have shared files.
    I'm just stumped.

  • Any way to have file size included in the first search in finder?

    Is it possible to somehow show file sizes when doing a search in finder?
    On Panther, it was very helpful to have the file sizes listed. This immediately revealed whether the photoshop files I was looking for were full size or reduced.
    But when I run a search in Snow Leopard it only shows name, kind and last opened. Otherwise I have to also add a second search to add in file size.
    Any way to have file size included in the first search?
    Thanks!

    Well, I wish I could take credit for knowing it was there before two days ago... but I dropped my laptop a couple months ago and it finally died for good on Friday, and I noticed this on the new laptop when setting up my Finder preferences.

  • How can i find out the file size of a Keynote on an iPad please?

    How can i find out the file size of a Keynote on an iPad please?

    I think a rule of thumb is what you're looking for.
    Full bandwidth CD audio (AIFF): about 10 MB/min
    Apple Lossless: about 5 MB/min
    MP3 @ 256k: about 2 MB/min
    MP3 @ 128k: about 1 MB/min
    Of course the MP3 file size is exactly linear with bit rate.
    As for sound quality:
    Apple Lossless is, as the name says, lossless.
    MP3 @128k: fine for listening in the car or the kitchen etc. If you have an audiophile sound system, this will remind you why you spent all that money.
    MP3 @256K: barely distinguishable from CD on very good equipment.
    MP3 @320K: probably not distinguishable from CD.
    I presume that since you're talking about importing classical CDs these are ones you own. Remember you can always do it again if you need higher fidelity or if better technology comes out. I import most CDs at 128k, since most of my MP3 listening is in the car, or walking, or as background. And I can always play the CD if I want to sit and listen.
    The logic for purchased music is totally different -- you probably won't get to upgrade that without buying it some different way. So buying 128k MP3s (or AACs) is something you'll probably regret later. Buying 256k MP3s is a lot less problematic.

  • How do I find out the file size of my photos, and change them to the size

    This will sound inane, but I cannot figure out where to find the file size of my photos in iPhoto. I need a jpeg of a certain file size and image size for my blog background, but can't figure out how to even start.

    If the limited quality options do not get you the file size you need export the full size image files to a folder on your Desktop and use Resize! to batch resize the image dimensions and file size (jpeg compression level) to what you need.
    Click to view full size
    With Resize! you can fine tune the pixel dimensions and file size.

  • How do I find out app file size

    I only have 1.7gb left on my 8gb phone and notice that an app I am considering is 1.3 gb. How do I find the file size of apps before I buy them so I don't pay for something and then find out that I don't have enough space?
    Thanks!

    I mean if I download this file and am left with only 0.4gb and want to download more apps in the future. Or if I HAD only 0.4gb left and needed to remove apps to make room, how do I know how large the are?
    Thanks!

  • How do I find out what the file size is before I purchase and download a movie?

    I cannot find the file size for movies or TV shows anywhere on iTunes. I need to know how big the file is before I download it.

    What is "Other"
    It’s generally a combination of local caches from apps, browsers, mail, Messages, Reading List, saved games, app-specific documents and data, notes, and voice memos.
    You can backup and restore to reduce "other" but they will start building up over time.

  • How do I find out how big a file size is in itunes before I buy it?

    I'm trying to work out how many of the tv episodes in a series I can actually fit on my iphone as i'm running out of space but can't seem to find anywhere in itunes telling me how big either the whole download is or individual episodes. Any help greatly appreciated!

    Thank you for replying I cant see it though (I must be being stupid!!)

  • How can I find the correct file size of a layered Photoshop document?

    I need to send layered PSD files by email (Mac's Mail), and I don't use services like Dropbox. My ISP allows a maximum file size of 5 MB. I reduce the file size by reducing it to 8 MB/channel, 150 ppi and reducing the maximum size dimension to 10 inches. I'm using CS6 on a Mac.
    If I check the file size using Get Info, I get 9.4 MB.   
    If the file is nested in a folder, the size is likewise, 9.4MB.
    If I attach the file to an email, I notice at the bottom left the file size is given as 12.0 MB.
    If I send the PSD layered file to myself, I find it uploads and dowloads quickly. On the email itself, it says, "1 attachment, 923 MB".
    On my Mac "MAIL" folder, it says the the file is 1.2 MB.
    If I calculate the file size mathematically, I get a size of approximately 4.3 MB. That is not counting the individual layers or the mask stored in Channels, for which I don't know the calculation.
    This is a total of 6 measurements of the file size of my attachment, 5 of which differ.
    Is one of these correct?

    I'd say 9.4 mb is correct. Email attachments always put on a lot of weight, so 12 mb as an attachment is probably right too.
    Why don't you use a free service like Filemail? It's very easy to use, and you dont't have to sign up to use it.

    to create standard-conform DVDs = playable on any DVDplayer, there's much more to do than just converting to mpeg(2)...-
    you need a DVD-authoring app, as iDVD, Burn, Toast ........... drag any iMovie export into it, 'burn'.
