How can I determine the number and size of the items in a window?

With operating systems before Mavericks, the number of items contained and the total size was displayed at the bottom of an open window.  This was valuable, for example, when assembling files and folders for burning to discs.  How can I quickly obtain the information using Mavericks?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
That setting is hidden by default, but Finder still has got the feature. To enable it, open a Finder window and go to View menu (in the menu bar) -> Show Status Bar

  • How can I determine the number and sizes of redologs?

    Dear all,
    How can I determine the number and sizes of redologs are sufficient to allow redo log switching while hot backup is in progress?
    Please advice,
    Amy

    Two questions here - what the OP put as the subject title and what was asked in the thread, which are different questions.
    I would interpret the question in the thread to mean "how to avoid hanging due to archiving waiting for a redo log group to become available." Alert log, wait events, and user complaints would be the source of information here.

  • How Can I Determine the Size of the 'My Documents' Folder for every user on a local machine using VBScript?

    Hello,
    I am at my wits end into this. Either I am doing it the wrong way or it is not possible.
    Let me explain. I need a vb script for the following scenario:
    1. The script is to run on multiple Windows 7 machines (32-Bit & 64-Bit alike).
    2. These are shared workstation i.e. different users login to these machines from time to time.
    3. The objective of this script is to traverse through each User Profile folder and get the size of the 'My Documents' folder within each User Profile folder. This information is to be written to a
    .CSV file located at C:\Temp directory on the machine.
    4. This script would be pushed to all workstations from SCCM. It would be configured to execute with
    System Rights
    I tried the script detailed at:
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/heyscriptingguy/archive/2005/03/31/how-can-i-determine-the-size-of-the-my-documents-folder.aspx 
    Const MY_DOCUMENTS = &H5&
    Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
    Set objFolder = objShell.Namespace(MY_DOCUMENTS)
    Set objFolderItem = objFolder.Self
    strPath = objFolderItem.Path
    Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(strPath)
    Wscript.Echo objFolder.Size
    The Wscript.Echo objFolder.Size command in the script at the above mentioned link returned the value as
    '0' (zero) for the current logged on user. Although the actual size was like 30 MB or so.
    I then tried the script at:
    http://www.experts-exchange.com/Programming/Languages/Visual_Basic/VB_Script/Q_27869829.html
    This script returns the correct value but only for the current logged-on user.
    Const blnShowErrors = False
    ' Set up filesystem object for usage
    Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
    ' Display desired folder sizes
    Wscript.Echo "MyDocuments : " & FormatSize(FindFiles(objFSO.GetFolder(objShell.SpecialFolders("MyDocuments"))))
    ' Recursively tally the size of all files under a folder
    ' Protect against folders or files that are not accessible
    Function FindFiles(objFolder)
    On Error Resume Next
    ' List files
    For Each objFile In objFolder.Files
    On Error Resume Next
    If Err.Number <> 0 Then ShowError "FindFiles:01", objFolder.Path
    On Error Resume Next
    FindFiles = FindFiles + objFile.Size
    If Err.Number <> 0 Then ShowError "FindFiles:02", objFile.Path
    Next
    If Err.Number = 0 Then
    ' Recursively drill down into subfolder
    For Each objSubFolder In objFolder.SubFolders
    On Error Resume Next
    If Err.Number <> 0 Then ShowError "FindFiles:04", objFolder.Path
    FindFiles = FindFiles + FindFiles(objSubFolder)
    If Err.Number <> 0 Then ShowError "FindFiles:05", objSubFolder.Path
    Next
    Else
    ShowError "FindFiles:03", objFolder.Path
    End If
    End Function
    ' Function to format a number into typical size scales
    Function FormatSize(iSize)
    aLabel = Array("bytes", "KB", "MB", "GB", "TB")
    For i = 0 to 4
    If iSize > 1024 Then iSize = iSize / 1024 Else Exit For End If
    Next
    FormatSize = Round(iSize, 2) & " " & aLabel(i)
    End Function
    Sub ShowError(strLocation, strMessage)
    If blnShowErrors Then
    WScript.StdErr.WriteLine "==> ERROR at [" & strLocation & "]"
    WScript.StdErr.WriteLine " Number:[" & Err.Number & "], Source:[" & Err.Source & "], Desc:[" & Err.Description & "]"
    WScript.StdErr.WriteLine " " & strMessage
    Err.Clear
    End If
    End Sub
    The only part pending, is to achieve this for the 'My Documents' folder within each User Profile folder.
    Is this possible?
    Please help.

    Here are a bunch of scripts to get folder size under all circumstances.  Take your pick.

  • How can I determine the type of video out connector I need?

    Howdy,
    I have a white macbook purchased Jun/2008. I want to connect to a TV but don't know what adapter I need. How can I determine the type of video out jack my macbook has?
    System Profiler says the model identifier is "MacBook 4,1". Under Graphics/Displays the only thing it says about the "Display Connector" is that no display is connected. Too bad it doesn't tell me what type of connector it is. If I knew the name of the connector I'd probably be home free. But it seems like every macbook model has a different video connector (since the state of the art has advanced over the years) and I haven't been able to keep up with the names.
    Now, I have a 6" long adapter that will convert this connector to VGA. And searching the Apple store for VGA adapters, the existence of mine says my connector is might be one of "Mini DisplayPort", "Apple Mini DVI", "Apple DVI", or "Apple Micro-DVI". But then there is also the connector at
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/M8639G/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
    and that looks like the one I have. But unlike the other adapters, this one is just called a "VGA Display Adapter". Does the connector have a name? How can I find adapters that have that same connector?
    I know I could use the adapter I have, plus a VGA to VGA cable, to hook up to a TV. But the quality of the VGA signal is poor in the digital world. My goal is to hook up to the TV via HDMI. Is this even possible? By which I mean, will my macbook generate the signals necessary to be able to be converted to HDMI?
    Thanks for any help,
    Zebulon T

    Thanks, Ded,
    You're right, the cable that I have won't work. I't from my previous, 2004 iBook. This is pretty embarrassing... I looked at the cable but didn't bother to try plugging it in.
    Looking at the close-up picture of the Mini-DVI to VGA adapter, that does look like the right connector. So I have Mini-DVI, and the other apter you pointed to can convert this to DVI. I'll take a look to see what makes the most sense, connector wise, downstream from that.
    Thanks very much.

  • How can i view the items i copied in my time capsule and back it to my mac.

    Hi everybody, sorry for my bad english, i´m from Mexico City, i bought the time capsule only for used it like a backup, i made all the steps through time machine and all seems very well, but i don't know how can i view the items i copied and back it to my mac.
    Please Help Me.

    I assumed that you are using Time Machine to make backups to your new Time Capsule (TC) ... correct? If so, then you would normally use the Time Machine interface to locate files that have been already backed up.
    For example, let's say that you had a document in your \Documents folder. For some reason you deleted this file, and then, decided that you still needed it. The "normal" process to retrieve it would be to open the \Documents folder in a Finder window on your Desktop ... then open the Time Machine interface. Once opened, you will be presented with not only that folder, but as many versions of that folder as the number of times Time Machine backed it up. Using the forward/backwards (in time) arrows, you would move to a folder that has the recently deleted file. From there you can easily retrieve the file.
    For more information on how to use Time Machine, either use the built-in help or check out this Apple Support article.

    Hi,
    in the G-tools (http://www.geocities.com/gzou999/index.html ) you find two

    them is the time zone.

  • How can i find serial number and UPC of my laptop pavillion dv6 touch screen

    How can i find serial number and UPC of my laptop pavillion dv6 touch screen if i do not have the sticker at the back or below the battery .. thanks

    Hello,
    The hot key combination you can use at the desktop screen is "FN + ESC". That should bring a system information window on the screen with the computer information including the serial number.

  • How can I determine the liquid level in a bottle (LabView Vision)?

    How can I determine the liquid level in a bottle (LabView Vision)? Does anybody have an example code? The task is, that if liqid level is between two predetermined level, the program writes, that it is correct else it writes incorrect. Thank you.

    here is a little play with your bad picture:
    used only the small field of interest (here a guess) ,
    used only the red channel ( takes out most of the light reflection)
    grey scale, 3x(blurr, median filter) , played with  contrast -gamma - saturation
    now you need to add the edge detection and some sort of scale.

  • I have the Watchtime app on my iPad (1) and after an iPad restore my purchased items in the watch time app will not restore, however the items appear for purchase. how can i get the items to restore.

    Puchased items in my watchtime app will not restore to my ipad (1) after an ipad restore. The items appear ready for purchase. how can i restore the items.

    Following ultimately helped me : Make sure that you are logged in at the App Store App or iTunes App with your apple ID and password with a US account. Turn your iPad off and on and than you should see the Radio button again. It won't work if you are logged on with a foreign account. If you are not logged in at all, it worked, too.

  • How can I extend the 2-year search window of Calendar search

    How can I extend the 2-year search window of Calendar search in iPhone 5s ? I basically want 'Search' to search everything in the phone, not just restricted to a 2-year window.

    See my link above... it's a documented limitation...
    Calendar and Reminder search
    Spotlight searches for the title of calendar events and reminders in a two-year window—it will reveal results from one year in the past and one year in the future. If an event has recurrences that fall in this range, it will find the event that is closest to the current date.
    If multiple events have similar details (title, notes, location, and so on) and you search for these details, Spotlight will show the most recent event. To see more results, use search in Calendar or Reminders.

  • How can we change the item cost at time of Inventory Transfer, thru SDK?

    Hi All,
    How can we change the item cost at time of Inventory Transfer, thru SDK?
    My client wants some items to be transferred from A warehouse to B warehouse. When they transfer , they have to pay some octroi charges. This octroi charges they want to include in item cost at time of Inventory Transfer.
    How do we give this additional cost effect in item cost at the time of Inventory transfer? Please help .
    regrds,
    Binita

    Binita,
    This question was posted earlier and was replied.  If you want to do this through SDK please post the question to the SDK Forum.
    Which ever route you take (SDK or manual within the system), you still have to follow the process steps involved.
    Step 1: Transfer the goods
    Step 2: Revaluate the Goods on WH B to reflect Octroi

  • How can I access the iphoto library using windows pc? Upgrading to aperture solves my problem?

    How can I access the iphoto library using windows pc? Upgrading to aperture solves my problem?
    My home network is used both by my macbook and my wife's windows pc. Considering that, I would like to know if we can share our pictures with each other (specially because I intend to store all of them into a NAS storage - WD My Cloud, probably).

    No you can not - neither iPhoto nor Aperture has any cross platform capability
    You can share photos with the PC using MyPhotoStream or Shared PhotoStreames
    You can not share the iPhoto library
    And you can not put the iPHoto library on a NAS - it MUST always be on a volume formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) and mube on a fast wired local connection - it can not be on a Network
    There are Digital Asset Managers that can do what you want - iPhoto and Aperture can not

  • How can I move the items in camera roll to my PC?

    How can I move the items in camera roll to my PC. The only option I see is to e-mail each one. Are there other options?

    When you plug you iphone into the computer you should get a box that pops up with the heading "Apple iPhone" and below it says "camera connected". Your computer is treating the iPhone like your digital camera. Below this is several choises. Choose "Microsoft scanner and camera wizard". This will lead you through the steps to create a folder in your computer photo file and you can copy all your photos to that file.

  • How can I completely remove iTunes and all associated files/programs from my Windows PC?

    How can I completely remove iTunes and all associated files/programs from my Windows PC?

    iTunes, along with Quick Time, iCloud, Apple Software Update, Bonjour, Apple Mobile Device Support and Apple Application Support can all be removed from your PC by uninstalling them using 'Uninstall or change a program' in Control Panel. The only obvious thing that will be left behind is your iTunes library which remains untouched. If you want to remove that as well it's just a question of deleting it.
    Hope that helps.
