How can I see large hard disk files

I'm having problems with hard disk file space and would like to be able to see a list of files/documents sorted by size. This would allow me to focus on the big spenders and help monitor usage. Is there an easy way to accomplish this?

Use a freeware program called WhatSize.
Hope this helps...

How can I see and cancel hidden files on a external HD with macbook pro and Lion?

Use this AppleScript, saved as an application to toggle hidden files/folders on and off:
if (do shell script "defaults read com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles") is equal to "0" then
do shell script "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles 1"
else
do shell script "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles 0"
end if
do shell script "killall Finder"

How can I see if there are files present in this sourcing staging ftp folder:

How can i see if there are files present in the below parth in SAP Sourcing staging dtp folde.

It should not be difficult if you have access to the staging server. Just like any other machine, navigate down the folder structure and see if it has files.
I don't think it is possible to tell from the Sourcing application directly.
Thanks

How can I erase my hard disk with OS X 10.8.2?

How can I erase my hard disk with OS X 10.8.2?

If you want to erase the hard disk and reinstall OS X, follow these steps:
1. Back up your data to an external disk if you don't want to lose everything. When you erase a hard disk, everything is deleted.
2. Press Command and R keys while your Mac is starting to start into OS X Recovery, and open Disk Utility.
3. Select Macintosh HD on the sidebar, go to Erase tab and erase the disk.
4. After erasing the disk, close Disk Utility and reinstall OS X, so OS X will be installed with factory settings.
Don't forget to install iLife applications after the installation, if you need them. They come in the Applications DVD (if your Mac came with Snow Leopard or older), or open App Store > Purchases and download them

How can I optimize my hard disk drive usage and performance in Windows 8 or Windows 7?

QuestionHow can I optimize my hard disk drive usage and performance in Windows 8 or Windows 7?
AnswerThere are a few simple steps you can take to ensure your hard disk drive is used optimally.
Use Toshiba HDD Protection
Many Toshiba laptops come with a program called Toshiba HDD Protection pre-installed. This program helps to protect your hard disk drive from being damaged due to falls or impacts. By default, it should already be enabled. You might be tempted to lower the detection levels in this application, but doing so could cause your hard disk drive to be damaged. Remember that while the application can reduce the chance of damage, you should still avoid allowing the laptop to fall or suffer rapid impacts.
For more information on this utility, see the following article:
TOSHIBA HDD Protection
Optimize the drive
Windows 8 and Windows 7 optimize hard disk drives automatically through a process called defragmentation. Unless you've disabled this, you don't need to do anything. If you have disabled this and want to run the process, you can still do so.
In Windows 8, search for "Defrag" at the Windows Start screen and select "Defragment and optimize your drives."
In Windows 7, search for "Defrag" in the Start Menu's search field and select "Disk defragmenter."
You can use this tool to optimize your hard disk drives, allowing Windows to find needed files faster.
Remove items from startup
Some applications run automatically when Windows starts. This can add additional functionality, but it also decreases the performance of your computer. Sometimes you might want to disable certain programs from starting automatically.
In Windows 8, search for "Task Manager" at the Start screen. Select the "Startup" tab. Select an application you'd like to disable from starting automatically and then click the "Disable" button in the lower-right.
In Windows 7, type "msconfig" in the Start Menu's search field and press ENTER. Uncheck the boxes next to applications you'd like to disable from starting automatically.
You should be sure of the purpose of an application before disabling it from starting automatically. Some applications might be important. If in doubt, you might consider searching on the Web to discover more information about a program. Remember that if you find that you disabled something vital, you can always re-enable it.

HT5313 How can i change my hard disk up to 250 GB or 500 GB ?

Can i change my hard disk up to 200 GB or 500 GB ? if i can,how should i do ?

Clone backup current drive to an external disk (SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner). The external disk should be a FireWire drive so you can boot it (I believe the White MacBooks only booted external FireWire drives). You should test booting the cloned external before continuing. Or you could clone the current MacBook drive to the new replacement drive, which could be done via USB or FireWire.
If I recall correctly, remove the battery, remove a metal shield, pull out the current drive, remove the bracket, attach bracket to new drive, slide new drive back in, put metal shield back on, put battery back in.
If you cloned directly to new replacement drive, boot up your MacBook and enjoy.
If you cloned to an external FireWire, boot the external cloned FireWire drive, and clone it back to the new replacement drive.
If you consider your data valuable, have yet another backup to a different drive before starting just to be safe.
There should be YouTube videos that will show you how to do this, or search MacSales.com for how to videos.

Hard disk stop working how can recovery may new hard disk on mac book pro and i not have recovery disk the recovery is installed in soped hard disk

i have macbook pro the recovery is in hard disk and not have recovery disk and hard disk stop working now i want to change hard disk but how can i recovery my macbook pro can help me ?

"it shows macintosh HD OSX 10.9.5 but the hard drive that is supposed to be in the upper right corner is not showing up. So it is booting from that drive."
Ok go to "Finder" preferences and make sure the "Hard disk" box is checked.
That will make your boot disk show up in the upper right corner. You can tell it's a boot disk because all the files will look like this instead of just being blank files.

How can I see where the music files are?

I have imported some of my CDs to the iTunes Library, but can not see them in the folders in finder. How can I do this please. Thanks!\\Someone showed me once but I obviously forgot.

When you rip CDs, the files go into the folder designated in Preferences.
Normally they go into subfolders for the Artist and Album, but depending how things are tagged, that could be "Compilations," "Various Artists," "Unknown Album," etc.
As JG notes, if the library knows where they are, Show in Finder takes you right to them. If the library has lost them, search in Finder on a word or two of the song title.

You figure out how to do it on your OS using C/C++ code.
Then you write a wrapper in JNI to call your C/C++ code.

How can I have ext hard disks show on "About this Mac/Storage" that are ousted and show on screen

I have Mac 10.9.5, Intel. I was working in iMovie, when message came up and said I do not have enough space on my hard disk.. I have several hundred GB available. All my ext. HD's appear on my screen. In "About this mac/storage" only my HD and two of the four external drives show up. The two ext. drives that show on "about This Mac" are full. I have done a disk utility check on every drive and they are fine. Also, the whole machine is very slow. I have rebooted also.

How can I see the current script file name in Vision Builder

I would like to not have to remember which script file I have open. Is that displayed somewhere?

Brian,
I have been looking over Vision Builder 6.1, and from what I can tell, the name of the file that you are working on is not displayed on the screen, and there does not appear to be a way to get it to display there.
This seems like a very worthwhile feature to add, and I definitely agree that it would be useful. You may want to consider filing a Product Suggestion by using the Product Suggestion Center (PSC) that is linked below:
Product Suggestion Center
The PSC links directly into our R&D group's suggestion database, and any suggestions entered would be reviewed by the R&D team.

How can i see and use EPS files ?

I have gotten an e-mail from a company that shold make a cd for my band. They attached a EPS file. But I can not view it. Hvat program for mac can do this? Were to get it ?
Thans
Kim

I found a number of applications that should view eps files on a Mac.
In the Mac app store, PS-to-PDF will convert the file to pdf, which you can then view with Preview or Adobe Acrobat.
Also in the app store, File Viewer will let you view eps files directly, and it is free.
A Google search will likely find many more.
Best of luck.
