How can I see how much free space I have on computer?

Hi, I am trying to clear my computer of unneeded stuff because it's gotten very slow. I am wondering how to see how much space I have left. I remember once seeing a pie chart somewhere in the computer but do not know how to find this. I suspect it will tell me I have very little space left. Is there a way to figure out what you can delete and what you cannot? So much in my computer has undecipherable names like abbreviations. I would have no idea what it is. (The last time I took a chance and began deleting folders and things I did not recognize I unknowingly deleted MS Office and so no longer have Word.)
Can I defrag? Not sure what that is but I know it's good to do but could not find out where to do that. Can I clear the cache? Where is the cache? Is there a secret super storage bank full of 8 years of duplicates and back-ups I do not need?
Thank you.

Here's one:

(feature set should be identical)
It's not quite Photoshop and only in beta (b7), and the interface is not very Mac-like - but at $32 it could be worth a try.

    how can i see how much money is in my account

    Open iTunes.  In the left-hand pane, click on the words "iTunes Store."  When the store opens, look at the upper right to see your current balance.
    If instead you only see the words "Sign In," then click it and sign in.  Then the balance for that account will display.
    If you have more than one account,  you will have to log into each one separately to see its balance.

  • How can i see how many people are using my apple id without changing the password ?

    how can i see how many people are using my apple id without changing because some people have it

    I'm not sure that you can. Why have so many people got your password? So many in fact, that you don't know how many.
    You can see how many computers are authorised to play any songs you have purchased from the iTunes Store, but that isn't quite the same thing.
    Perhaps a better idea would be to change the password and not let anyone else know what it is. That would at least prevent anyone else from changing it and locking you out of your own account.

    How can I see how many gb a playlist is in iTunes

    Hello Mkgojets and welcome to Apple Discussion Forums!
    If you are using iTunes 11 (check by clicking in the menu bar while in the application iTunes > About iTunes), then you can click (again in the menubar) View > Show Status Bar or by pressing "Command /" (Command key and forward slash. This will then display the size of your playlist, how long it will take to play etc at the bottom of the iTunes window.
    Hope this helps.

    Despite what has been said, there is no Flash player for iOS devices.

    There are some browsers like Skyfire that can play some Flash content, but performance varies so try different apps to see if any can display the sites you go to...but don't expect greatness.

  • How can I see how much data passes through my Time Capsule?

    I am thinking of using a cellular data plan at home. My current, rural internet provider is slow and unreliable. I use a MiFi as a backup and have 4G service which is much faster and rarely goes down. I need to see how much data is downloaded and uploaded to compare costs. All our data passes through my Time Capsule.

    A similar app to what Bob mentions is peakhour.. it works on any of the newer OS.
    https://itunes.apple.com/au/app/peakhour/id468946727?mt=12
    It is a good app. BUT.. fat ugly BUTT.. just the same as Bob has explained, it depends on SNMP to work.. and so due to apple removing a very useful and functional protocol from its airport range you can no longer use it. Bizarre.
    I strongly recommend a Netgear WNDR3800 (older model now but you can pick up one cheaply on ebay) and a 3rd party firmware called gargoyle. Apple delete my posts if I point you to it, so you will have to search yourself.
    Replace your tall TC with the Netgear as the main router.. bridge the TC to it and you can continue to use its wireless and for TM backups. The advantage is that gargoyle will not only measure everyones usage, by IP, it is able to set a quota on everyone using the net and you can set that quota for hourly, daily or weekly or monthly. It will track the usage and you can see at a glance what everyone has used.
    It is simple to load.. just like a standard firmware update. The interface is as clear as anyone can make it with such of lot of tools. And the actual router is powerful enough to provide excellent QoS and parental controls on top of measurements and quota.
