How can I get the amount of free space that is on my drive to show at the bottom of the drive in Lion.

How can I get the amount of free space that is on my drive to show at the bottom of the drive in Lion.
This is a must feature for me and I may have to go back to Snow Leopard.
Please help!

Right click on your desktop and choose "viewer options". Adjust the spacing and the size of your icons and you should be able to see the size of your drive(s) and the free space available on each drive with the exception of your bootcamp drive which will only show the overall size of the drive you have it on.  This may be different if you only have one system drive (like on a Mac Book Pro) with a partition containing bootcamp on it. this may only show you the overall capacity, I can't say for sure though as I only use a Mac Pro with 4 seperate Hard Drives which are showing both overall capacity and free space available. Hope this helps

  • How can I get Photoshop CS4 to work now that I have CS6 (which I dislike for many reasons), on the s

    I have recently purchased CS6 Mac, and now that it's on my computer CS4 won't work.  Adobe told me to post the question on this forum because they refuse to provide any tech support for CS4 or earlier versions of PS now that 6 is out.
    Also, they won't provide any help regarding the fact that all my images from CS4 open at 25% instead of 100% which they did in CS4.  They say I just have to highlight the 25 and type in 100.  Needless to say that is absurd and a big time waster.
    Any help is appreciated.  OS mountain lion on a mac mini, also new.
    Thanks,
    bonnie

    HI and thank you both for your help.  Here is the screen shot.  I don't know if you can see that there is actually an image open.  It's a business card so it's small to begin with, but this is NOT how things opened in CS4.
    The percentage in the lower left cannot be seen because the window is too large and even though I quite the program, it still opened as large as when I closed it.  But it was something like .38%
    How do I get it back to normal working size?
    Another thing I dislike is that when I do a screen shot there is no way to save it without first clicking the red 'close this' button and then reopening it and using 'save as' to type in the correct name.  If I use command s I just get 'untitled with a number'.  It's a lot of unnecessary steps.  Also, is there no other way to save a screen shot other than as a tif and then reopening it to save it as a jpg?
    The cyan lines seemed to have disappeared when opening the other images.  This version is making me nuts.  That's why I want my CS4 back and operational.
    ALSO, I want my brushes that I have collected over the years... they didn't make it over from the dying Mac Pro to this Mac Mini.  They are all in CS4.  How do I do that?
    That's a good beginning for why I don't like it. 
    Thank you,
    bonnie

  • I bought a used macbook air, with reinstalled the OS without iMovie. How can I get iMovie on App free of charge as a default in macbook air ?

    Unfortunately, as recommended by the lady from CA, as long as the Mac is still associated with the Apple ID of the original owner, you can't even buy those iLife apps with that Mac. You will always get the alert to download them with the original owner's Apple ID.
    As suggested by the chavo from España, you need the original owner to contact Apple Care* and request that the OS and the iLife apps be disassociated from his Apple ID. Then you should be free to OS X Recovery to resinstall the most recent version of OS X that shipped with the Mac and install the iLife apps. Afterward, before using any of the iLife apps you need to open the Mac App Store (MAS) to the Purchases pane and Accept these apps into your MAS account's Apple ID. If you use any of the iLife apps before you have accepted them into your account, as per the app's Terms of Use, they all become one-trick-ponies that can not be downloaded onto another Mac or updated.

    *If you bought the Mac from a 2nd hand shop and don't have access to the original owner, you may need to provide Apple a purchase receipt to offer proof of sale.

    how can I get rid of ios6 ? I have had this iPad for less than 2 weeks and made the mistake of "upgrading" to ios6 and now my map is completely useless.  Feel like I have been robbed

    There are alternatives. But none of them have Google street view, able to work on iOS 6. Apple should have offered this as a beta version, for a few more months instead of inflicting us with an inferior product. This iPad will probably be my last Apple product. A shame, because until last a few days ago, I thought the iPad and iPhone were fantastic.
    Apple should quit their petty squabbling with, Google and Samsung and concentrate on supplying the best product.
    Google and Samsung must be enjoying this particular fiasco.

    Hi All,
    I need your expert advice to proceed. I bought apple TV and it works fine with my iPad and iPhones also fine with itune of my Mac Book Pro BUT I am not seeing setting which says "Airplay Mirroring" in system preference -> Display at all.
    I checked my mac serial number and it shows the model as below. As far as I understood this feature should be there from 2011 onwards.
    MacBook Pro (13-inch, Late 2011)
    Software  Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63b)
    Please suggest!!
    Thanks and Regards

  • How can I get a refund from an App that I bought?

    How can I get a refund from an app that I bought? I bought an app called Package for MS Office on the 8th of January and I also reported a problem and they have not got back to me with a response. It has been 3 weeks now and I am still waiting for a reply back. Very disappointed.

    I have now got an openoffice which I got from the internet. But the main thing is I paid £20.99 for this app and It is irriatting that the people who work for apple havent got back to me when I first reported a problem. I reported to them again and hoping that they will eventually get back to me.

  • To know the amount of free space in a tablespace

    hi,
    I'm learning oracle 9i release 9.2.0.1.0 .I'd created a tablespace 'TOOLS' for being used as the default tablespace for Statspack.
    I wish to know the amount of free space available in this tablespace. For this purpose I ran the following query but there was no rows selected :-
    SQL> select tablespace_name,bytes from dba_free_space
    2 where tablespace_name='TOOLS';
    no rows selected
    SQL> select name from v$tablespace;
    NAME
    CWMLITE
    DRSYS
    EXAMPLE
    INDX
    ODM
    SYSTEM
    TOOLS
    UNDOTBS1
    USERS
    XDB
    TEMP
    Can anyone tell the reason for this.

    I tried your query
    SQL> select TABLESPACE_NAME,
    2 sum(BYTES) Total_free_space,
    3 max(BYTES) largest_free_extent
    4 from dba_free_space
    5 group by TABLESPACE_NAME;
    ♀TABLESPACE_NAME TOTAL_FREE_SPACE LARGEST_FREE_EXTENT

    Again there were no rows for TOOLS tablespace.

  • HT201318 How can I get a storage plan on iCloud that's more than 50GB?

    How can I get a storage plan on iCloud that's more than 50GB?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If you purchase a higher-tier storage plan for your iCloud account to replace your existing storage plan (for example, a 20 GB plan to replace a 10 GB plan), the existing plan will be canceled and you will receive a prorated refund for the time remaining. The new storage plan is applied to your iCloud account and the annual payment date is updated to reflect the purchase date for the new plan.

    Restart the computer and the iPhone might resolve a backup issue. Also, try resetting the iPhone by holding both the sleep/wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least 10 seconds until the Apple logo reappears. Afterward, attempt to restore again.
    Before you restore,  consider a few other things... One particular onging thread regarding "other" data has users finding that text messages with photos and/or videos taking up the "other" space. Deleting those text conversations helps regain space. (Before deleting, transfer any photos and videos you want to keep to your camera roll or computer.) In addition, check for any deleted phone voicemail messages and delete those to as well as voice memos.
    If you decide to restore, the recommendation is to restore as new phone because the backup probably has the "other" data.
