How can you get File/Folder information?

Hello,
I'm a Windows XP/Vista convert. One thing I liked about XP and Vista is how you could simply point to a file, hover the pointer over it and it would tell you information about it. Also, in the status bar it would tell you the total amount of space occupied by all the files in a folder.
Is there a way to get this same functionality in OSX? I haven't upgraded to Leopard just yet, but I wonder if it has this functionality built into it. Very simple features, but can 10.4.10 or 10.5 do either one? Or is there a simple utility that will give this functionality to the Finder?
Also, what's the BEST file manager for OSX out there? I use PowerDesk in XP quite a bit, is there something similar out there for the Mac?
Thanks,
Jeff

Thanks, but I meant to add, is there some way to get this information other than the way you've outlined? I like how Windows handles it, either by displaying it in the status bar or showing a bubble/popup by just hovering the mouse over the icon. Please tell me that Leopard will do this. I mean, that seems like a VERY basic feature that, well, just makes sense to me. It shouldn't be anymore difficult than that.
Is this addressed in another way in MacOSX?
Thanks,
Jeff

You don't have to. Just go to Apple's Express Lane and add products.

I'm not entirely sure what you are asking, but you can view the purchase history on your account (and view your payment method) on your computer's iTunes : if you log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option, you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it. Click on that and you should then see a list of your purchases. On your iPad you can only see a cut-down version via this page (which also allows you to contact iTunes Support if you have a problem with a purchase) : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
There are instructions on this page for managing and stopping auto-renewing subscriptions : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4098
Or do you mean something else ?

How can you get your submit buttons on the quiz template to be a single click instead of the default double click? (The option to choose double click or not is not showing in properties for this).

Hmmm... Submit button doesn't need a double click at all. Maybe you are talking about the two-step process? When you click on Submit, the feedback appears with the message to click anywhere or press Y. Is that what you are talking about? If you are talking about a real double-click, something must be wrong in your file. And which version are you using?

I just pressed the wrong button to erase of my IMac, how can I get back all information from my computer ?

I just pressed the wrong button to erase of my iMac, how can i get back all information ?

Possibly through a data rescue service (can cost a four-figure amount) if you didn't have an external backup.
But you must stop using that Mac immediately, or your data will be over-written.

How can I get CDP neighbor information from access point reports in Cisco Prime 2.0

How can I get CDP neighbor information from access point reports in Cisco Prime 2.0? I have looked through all the reports and I cannot find a report that gives me the CDP neighbor information of an access point. I thought that information was in there, however I cannot seem to find it.
Thanks in advance!

Hi
You can get this from an inventory report in PI (Select Report Type AP). Here is an example of PI 2.1 works for me. Once you export this into excel you can sort based on controllers & filter the single controller connected AP you want.

I have a G4 Quicksilver that no longer works, but the hd may still be good. How can I get files off the G4 hd and onto my new iMac?

I have a G4 Quicksilver 2001 that no longer works, but the hd may still be good. How can I get files off the G4 hd and onto my new late 2013 iMac?

Also, how do I boot the G4 into FireWire Target Disk mode?
First, the G4 must be able to start to use FWTDM. If it can start, hold the t key at boot until you get a "screensaver pattern" that looks like this:
If the G4 is attached via a FireWire cable to a newer Mac with a FireWire port, the G4's hard drive will appear on the other Mac's desktop just as if it were any external drive. A USB cable won't work for FWTDM.
Just wondering if the drive in my G4, which I believe may be an ATA drive will also work in an enclosure for a SATA drive?
No. ATA (actually "PATA" or "IDE") and SATA are different interfaces. PATA external enclosures are now very hard to find. You best and least expensive option is the adaptor that BDAqua linked. One of its connectors is for PATA drives.

How can you get get two master pages to repeat in a document with one of them having numbering.

How can you get two master pages in Indesign to repeat when one of them has a numbering section and the back side is a common back. For example, Master A has numbering 001-500 and Master B is the common back for all 500 pages.

My guess is you either want to use a numbered list for the numbering, rather than a page number marker, or you want to make two files and print a single page file with the static text 500 times, then flip the stack and print the 500 page file.
What are you trying to do?

Thanks for answering
Well, the CS2 was my 1st full program that now my son is using in his new Laptop...
The CS4 Master Collection is my full program that I bought when I was in College course and now I use for my own works...
Both came in their own serial numbers and discs ... I install both completely to each computer but at the end on the registration asked for this "Validation code" and the message says that I can't do it on-line nor by mail; so to call to this phone 1-800-833-6687 and in there have the message to come to the "support " Adobe website and do all this going around.
Now I saw previously that page you send me... I really don't understand it ... I got CS2 installed but I just need the validation code to get rid of that 30 days message...
Why I have to uninstall it??? Could you explain me please..

Don't downgrade OS X without first erasing the drive. You cannot restore a Time Machine backup of Lion directly on top of a later version of OS X such as Mountain Lion or Mavericks.
When you "Restore from a Time Machine Backup.", the drive will be erased for you, but yes, won't hurt to:
Boot into Recovery (hold ⌘R on boot)
Utility->Disk Utility->Erase Macintosh HD, then Repair Macintosh HD
Quit Disk Utility
Then Select: Restore from a Time Machine Backup.
