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.

  • How can I display file in a special tool?

    My task is to display a 3D protein structure in a special tool. How can I use Java application to pass the structure file to the tool?
    Thanks

    If you know the path to the tool, I have some code at artcomputer.se/java. Look for the ProcessTracker.
    The main point is that you need to track both the output and error streams, ot the tool might be blocked.

  • How can I display files in external program like Word?

    Using NetBeans 6.5, IE7, Windows XP
    I have not had any luck attempting to get a PDF file to display in a separate browser window,
    so I thought I might try to combine that with a new issue.
    I have 3 file types - jpg, rtf and pdf that should be able to be displayed in external programs like Word or Adobe.
    Is there a way to start an external application and pass the file name from a backing bean?
    The files would be located on the server in a directory that is mapped to the client and the applications (Word, etc.) would reside on the client.
    Can this be done from within the confines of a JSF application?
    Thanks

    I was kind of hoping that someone could point me to an example of how to do this.
    I've tried the servlet approach, but can't seem to get the file to display in a separate browser window.
    That is why I thought about maybe launching a separate application, if that is possible.

  • IPhone apps used to appear in iPhone size on iPad.  Since updating to iOS7.0, these apps are HUGE and unreadable.  How can I display actual size in iOS 7.0?

    I realize this is a Mac forum, but I am sure there are iOS users here as well.  My problem is that apps made specifically for iPhone used to display in regular iPhone size on the iPad which was fine --- it was workable.  Since upgrading to iOS 7.0, these apps are HUGE, filling the entire iPad screen.  How does one revert to the non-magnified appearance?

    I tried:
    01. Rebooting PC
    02. Rebooting iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad 2, iPad 3
    03. Stoppng and restarting Apple Mobile Support service
    04. Deleting backup in iTunes
    05. Buying music and transferring purchases
    06. Transferring photos
    07. Buying app and transferring purchases
    08. Deleteing and reinstalling iTunes
    09. Backup to the iCloud (failed as well)
    10. WIFI sync
    11. Return the iPod Touch to factory settings and reinstall from backup
    12. Return the iPod Touch to factory settings and install as new device
    ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WORKED !!!  I still cannot backup because iTunes cannot start a session.
    My devices are completely vulnerable to loss.
    I have spent hours searching the Internet trying to find a solution.
    I have concluded that the iTunes software or its driver are at fault.

  • How can I display total playlist size in iTunes 11.  It used to be visible for each playlist or CD, but I can't find it now.

    How can I display total playlist size in iTunes 11.  It used to be visible for each playlist or CD, but I can't find it now.

    The Friend: Thanks from me too for that super simple fix!! I feel kinda stupid for not knowing that.
    Too bad Apple didn't:
    Give it a more intuitive name than "Status Bar"... "status" is what is shown at the top of the window along with the Artist and Song Title, e.g.; how far into the song/podcast/video I've played and how much is left,
    Put the keyboard commands in a more prominent place in their release notes when version 11 came out so we could more easily find the information they decided to hide in this attempt to make the desktop less cluttered and
    Allow us the option of displaying the data size along with the song count and duration just beneath the playllist title. The status bar is a redundant listing of information except for the data size!  Poorly conceived!
    Perhaps Apple will remedy this in a future release. For those of us who like to burn our playlists to CD, DVD and even a thumb drive this information is essential. WIthout it, we're left to guess whether a given playlist will fit on our target device.
    Thank you!

  • Where can I find the Start up disk and how can I delete file from it.

    where can I find the Start up disk on theMac Book Air?
    How can I delete files from it?

    The startup disk is the internal SSD in your MBA.  You may delete files by draging the file  to Trash (or clicking on them and then execute COMMAND+Delete).  Then empty Trash.

  • How can i copy files from one external hard disk to another using macbook pro with retina display

    How can i copy files from one external hard drive to another using macbook pro with retina display?

    That's odd - if you open Disk Utility (Applications->Utilities) and select the disk(s), how are they formatted? If you're only going to be used with your Mac, they should be formatted as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)".

  • How can I transfer files from one external HD (WD My Passport) to another external HD (Seagate Backup Plus)?  WD drive was improperly ejected and Finder no longer recognizes it.  Tried fixing with Disk Utility but failed.

    How can I transfer files from one external HD (WD My Passport 2T) to another external HD (Seagate Backup Plus 2T)?  WD drive was improperly ejected (although we did tell it to eject) and now Finder no longer recognizes it.   Using MacBook Pro and I just upgraded to Yosemite before this happened. Was told at Apple Store to use Disk Utility to repartition, but it failed.  It says to backup files and restore.  But how do I backup files?  Or would appreciate any other suggestions to repair drive.

    You may drag & drop between external hds. 
    Should you run into trouble.
    Take the exernal drive appart.  Take out the harddrive.  Try reading the data via a usb adapter. Put a household finan on the hd.

    I down loaded your files but could use some instructions on what needs run.
    It seems that you are so close yet so far. You need to get the data on the server machine over to the client. I generally do this by doing a call by reference (on the client machine) of a VI that is served by the server. THe VI that executes on the server should pass the data you want to diplay via one of its output terminals. You can simply wire from this terminal (back on the client again) to an indicator of your choosing.
    Now theorectically, I do not think that there is anything that prevents use from getting the control refnum of the actual indicator (on the server) of the indicator that has the data, and read its "Value" using a property node. I have never tried this idea but it seems t
    hat all of the parts are there. You will need to know the name of the VI that holds the data as well as the indicator's name. You will also have to serve all VI's. This is not a good idea.

  • In a FM 11 book, how can I display filename w/o file location?

    In a FrameMaker book, how can I display filename without the file's  location on the hard drive?
    For example, The book would list:
    "MyFile.fm"
    instead of
    C:\windows\documents\Framefiles\XYZ Company\widgets\draft_2013_1111\MyFile.fm
    If this cannot be done, then how can I get the book to list a name for the added file other than the name of the first heading in the file contents?

    Check out the little toggle icon beside the magnifying glass in the book tab – you can swap back and forth between “Display Heading Text” and “Display File Names”

  • Why is my word and pdf files so large? How can I reduce the size?

    My document contains mostly photos from a database via a path to the actual jpeg photos on disk.
    There are 39 jpeg photos + a small amount of text with each photo.
    The 39 jpeg photos on the disk add up to be 5.79 mb.
    If I export the crystal reports document as [Microsoft Word (97-2003) Non Editable] the, the file size is 36.8 mb.
    If I export the same data as a [Microsoft Word (97-2003) Editable] the file size is only 3.1 mb.
    That is a difference of 33.7 mb! Why?
    Also, when I export the same data to a PDF file it is much larger than I think it should be; 12.7 mb.
    Why is my word and PDF files so large?
    How can I reduce the size of the word and PDF files? (without reducing the photo quality).
    Are there any tools to post process the Word or PDF files to reduce the file size?

    You can't, extra size is to hold the details

  • How can i change the size of PDF files ?

    how can i change the size of PDF files? when i convert documents in the acrobat browser it seems the files become larger then normal pdf files, this is, i compare with other files that people send to me and i realise that they are smaller than my converted files, even if they have more pages.

    A lot depends on the form of the PDF. Is it graphics, a scan of a text file, pure text, or other? What version of Acrobat are you working with.
    You can do a save as to get a WORD file, but do not expect great results. The ability to get a decent WORD file depends on what the form of PDF you are working from. If it was created from WORD with tags and all, you might get good results. If not, you might get a lot of messed up results.
    Explain what you are starting with and your ultimate goal. Also check the audit of the file (should be under PDF Optimize) to see where the file information is concentrated (text, fonts, graphics, other).

  • How can I reduce the size of a pdf file for emailing?

    I want to send a pdf file which is 8 mb, it has bounced in an email because it is too big, how can I reduce the size of the pdf file for emailing?

    Sometimes a simple "Save As" will reduce the file size slightly, but probably not enough to pass the <8 mb threshold of your recipient, as you need.
    You've probably seen it, try the next option in the Save As menu, "Reduced Size PDF," and make it compatible with the latest version possible, again considering the recipient. This suggestion assumes Acrobat X. You don't say which version you're using, but this tool was available at least going back to Version 8, but in a different place, you'll have to hunt.
    If all that doesn't work, you could remove some images from the source document, which also will reduce the overall size.
    Best luck.
