How can you tell how much space is being used up by your iTunes...I am trying to figure out how much space I will need to transfer my iTunes library to an iPod and which iPod to select?

Start up iTunes, and select Music, then click Songs.
Down at the bottom of the iTunes window, it will tell you how much space your library occupies.

Choose Computer from the Finder's Go menu, control-click the internal drive, and select Get Info. Alternatively, open any folder on it, and if needed, choose Show Status Bar from the View menu.

If your computer is tied to a network, then there is a way to check. Go to System Preferences, and click Accounts. unlock Admin
then you can click Login Options.
under that, Network Account Server. This should show you what server your computer is tied to. If you aren't in the tech department, you could try asking them.

When I see the usage on my iPod touch 4 they have categories for how much space is being used where. What does the "other" category contain? Like what could I delete on my iPod to get rid of the "other" category?

What is the Other on my iPhone and How to Remove It
An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB usually indicates that the "other" includes corrupted files.
First try:
"First you go settings/general/usage/music/then left swipe over music and press delete and you would think it deletes your music but it doesn't instead it deletes your other but make sure your ipod is connected to a computer while doing this"
as recommended by:
How do I get rid of "other" storage: Apple Support Communities
Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

To restore to factory settings/new iPod see:

In CS5 can I find out which brush is currently in use so that I can slect it again later?

in CS5 can I find out which brush is currently in use so that I can slect it again later? I can't figure this out

Chris, I just ckecked and realized that the problem is only with CS5 64bit, I'm on windows 7. CS5 32bit works as you described.
However even if it worked this doesn't help me anyway. I constantly change the size of the brush because I mostly paint but still need to know which brush preset I selected last. Please make a feature that highlights the last brush preset used - may be in a different way (color) if it doesn't match the current brush. It is real pain to find the needed brush. I have hundreds of brushes showing on my 30 inch monitor and I need them all. I spend a lot of times looking for recently used brushes. You can also implement recently used sorting order. I hope this is not very difficult to implement. Im sure that a lot of artists use many brushes like me, just look at all Photoshop painting instructions videos, even the tutorials are boring when watching how long it takes to find and select the needed brush.

How do I find out how much space I have left on my macbook pro? I downloaded the new mavericks operating system and can't figure it out. Before the space would be at the bottom of my finder.

I downloaded the new mavericks operating system on my macbook pro and I can't find out how much space I have left. Before the installation of mavericks, storage space left was displayed at the bottom of the Finder window.

In the Finder, under the View menu there is an option to Show Status Bar. Select that and you will see the info on the bottom of folders again.

[SOLVED] How much space is REALLY used on my HDD?

Hi there,
Today I moved my /home/ dir to its own partition, so that my settings are safe from the system.
I have a question about the used space:
When I use "df -h" to see how much space is used, this is the output for home:
/dev/sda2 184G 465M 175G 1% /home
So 465 MB should be used. When I right click on home and select properties only 243,5 MB are used!?
I know about the MB/MiB problem... but that would not be that extreme...
Any ideas?
greetings, yodo

It is used to store information about the filesystem structure. Inodes, Blocks, etc. Have a look at this c't article: http://www.heise.de/open/Das-Dateisyste … l/104859/0 (German article)

Windows Internal Database on Windows Server 2012 - How can I find out what role or feature is using it?

We have setup many roles and features and apparently one of them is using the Windows Internal Database (WID). We have had some events logged for WID and need to troubleshoot them. But we are not sure which role/feature is using it. How can I find
this out?

Hi,
Several components of Windows Server 2008 and 2012 use Windows Internal Database for their data storage: Active Directory Rights Management Services, Windows System Resource Manager, UDDI Services, Active Directory Federation Services 2.0, IPAM and Windows
SharePoint Services.
Which role did you setup or what is the error message did you received？

I want to update my Mac from 10.6.8 to Mavericks, but every time it says update unavailable for this computer. How do I check for space available or how much space I have used? Help please, I am new to using Mac computers.

I am a new Mac user and I bought a refrubished Mac that has Mac OS X VERSION 10.6.8. I have been wanting to upgrade to Mavericks, but every time I go to do that a message comes up saying OS X Mavericks cannot be installed on this computer. Is there anyway I can instal it? Better yet how can I look up how much GB of memory I have and the available storage?

1. No, but you might be able to upgrade to Lion. Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check that the computer has at least a Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU, and if so, click here.
2. Check the RAM from the About this Mac window, choose Computer from the Finder's Go menu, control-click the internal drive, and choose Get Info. If the computer has a 32-bit EFI, it can't be upgraded to Mountain Lion or above regardless of the RAM and free drive space.

Can you find out if a clip has been used in a timeline within the browser?

i am using hundreds of clips and i don't want to use one twice - or leave one out. years ago in premiere they let you see USED CLIPS and it showed you how many times it was used and where it was within a timeline. does that feature - or something like it exist in FC?
thanks
mrC

Yep, that'll show dupe clip usage in the timeline, but to see used clips in the browser you have to specifically search for them. With the browser window active, press Cmd-F to bring up the Find window, and change the For: popup to Used Media (or Unused Media) as desired; you can limit the search to specific sequences and/or filter the search by adding multiple specific search criteria ... finally just press the Find All button.

How can I find out where the Library files currently used by iTunes are located?

I have had a bit of a nightmare sorting out my iTunes files so I have various versions of Library files all over the place. How can I tell where the Library file that iTunes is currently using is located? In Preferences I can see the Library "Name", but I don't think that is much help. Preferences also shows where my i-Tunes media folder is but not where the Library files are.
Any help greatly appreciated.
J

Ah, I was assuming you would search in Finder and display some details. All alternative approach is to Option start iTunes and click the Choose option. It should show a file selection box targeted at the folder of the currently active library.
