  • How do I determine the size of my iPhoto library?

    I am running out of disk space and I assume that it is due to my photos.
    #1 - how do I determine if this is the case?
    #2 - how can I figure out the size of my library so I buy the correct sized external HD?
    #3 - what is the best practice for moving iPhoto to an external HD? Do people move over only "older" photos or just run iPhoto off the external HD completely?
    Thank you so very much!
    Jen

    #2 - how can I figure out the size of my library so I buy the correct sized external HD?
    Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Use the Finder's File -> Get Info command to get the size of the Library. When you purchase an extenral disk, make sure to format it Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Also, allow room to grow.
    #3 - what is the best practice for moving iPhoto to an external HD? Do people move over only "older" photos or just run iPhoto off the external HD completely?
    There isn't a "best practise" there's only what you need to do. IF the Library is on the external, then you can only view it with the external attached. Are you on a Laptop? Desktop? If you're on a desktop it probably doesn't matter. If you're on a Laptop it might.

  • How do I determine the size of my photo library

    I want to know the size of my photo file so that I can determine how much space I need to store them in iCloud (iPhoto version 9.6)  Os Version 10.10.2
    Thanks
    Dan

    Depends on what you mean and... you can't store an iPhoto Library in the Cloud.
    If you use the size determination in the iPhoto Window, that reports the approximate size if you export everything at the 'Current Setting' (which you would not want to do. See below*)
    If you check the size of the package in the Finder (Pictures / iPhoto Library) that reports the disk space used for the combined size of the Masters, Previews, Thumbnails, Caches, Database and metadata files.
    Though, as I say, it's not really an issue as you can't put an iPhoto Library in the Cloud.

  • How Can I Determine the Size of the 'My Documents' Folder for every user on a local machine using VBScript?

    Hello,
    I am at my wits end into this. Either I am doing it the wrong way or it is not possible.
    Let me explain. I need a vb script for the following scenario:
    1. The script is to run on multiple Windows 7 machines (32-Bit & 64-Bit alike).
    2. These are shared workstation i.e. different users login to these machines from time to time.
    3. The objective of this script is to traverse through each User Profile folder and get the size of the 'My Documents' folder within each User Profile folder. This information is to be written to a
    .CSV file located at C:\Temp directory on the machine.
    4. This script would be pushed to all workstations from SCCM. It would be configured to execute with
    System Rights
    I tried the script detailed at:
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/heyscriptingguy/archive/2005/03/31/how-can-i-determine-the-size-of-the-my-documents-folder.aspx 
    Const MY_DOCUMENTS = &H5&
    Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
    Set objFolder = objShell.Namespace(MY_DOCUMENTS)
    Set objFolderItem = objFolder.Self
    strPath = objFolderItem.Path
    Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(strPath)
    Wscript.Echo objFolder.Size
    The Wscript.Echo objFolder.Size command in the script at the above mentioned link returned the value as
    '0' (zero) for the current logged on user. Although the actual size was like 30 MB or so.
    I then tried the script at:
    http://www.experts-exchange.com/Programming/Languages/Visual_Basic/VB_Script/Q_27869829.html
    This script returns the correct value but only for the current logged-on user.
    Const blnShowErrors = False
    ' Set up filesystem object for usage
    Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
    ' Display desired folder sizes
    Wscript.Echo "MyDocuments : " & FormatSize(FindFiles(objFSO.GetFolder(objShell.SpecialFolders("MyDocuments"))))
    ' Recursively tally the size of all files under a folder
    ' Protect against folders or files that are not accessible
    Function FindFiles(objFolder)
    On Error Resume Next
    ' List files
    For Each objFile In objFolder.Files
    On Error Resume Next
    If Err.Number <> 0 Then ShowError "FindFiles:01", objFolder.Path
    On Error Resume Next
    FindFiles = FindFiles + objFile.Size
    If Err.Number <> 0 Then ShowError "FindFiles:02", objFile.Path
    Next
    If Err.Number = 0 Then
    ' Recursively drill down into subfolder
    For Each objSubFolder In objFolder.SubFolders
    On Error Resume Next
    If Err.Number <> 0 Then ShowError "FindFiles:04", objFolder.Path
    FindFiles = FindFiles + FindFiles(objSubFolder)
    If Err.Number <> 0 Then ShowError "FindFiles:05", objSubFolder.Path
    Next
    Else
    ShowError "FindFiles:03", objFolder.Path
    End If
    End Function
    ' Function to format a number into typical size scales
    Function FormatSize(iSize)
    aLabel = Array("bytes", "KB", "MB", "GB", "TB")
    For i = 0 to 4
    If iSize > 1024 Then iSize = iSize / 1024 Else Exit For End If
    Next
    FormatSize = Round(iSize, 2) & " " & aLabel(i)
    End Function
    Sub ShowError(strLocation, strMessage)
    If blnShowErrors Then
    WScript.StdErr.WriteLine "==> ERROR at [" & strLocation & "]"
    WScript.StdErr.WriteLine " Number:[" & Err.Number & "], Source:[" & Err.Source & "], Desc:[" & Err.Description & "]"
    WScript.StdErr.WriteLine " " & strMessage
    Err.Clear
    End If
    End Sub
    The only part pending, is to achieve this for the 'My Documents' folder within each User Profile folder.
    Is this possible?
    Please help.

    Here are a bunch of scripts to get folder size under all circumstances.  Take your pick.

  • How do I determine the size of an event (cmd I does not show any size for events).

    How do I determine the size of an Event in iPhoto? (Cmd + I does not show size information at the event level).

    If you're running iPhoto 8 (09) select the event and look at the Info pane at the lower left hand corner of the window.  It will give you the number of photos and size:
    for iPhoto 9 (11) open the Event, select all of the photos in it and open the Info drawer at the right by typing Command+i.  The number of photos and size will be at the top of the Info drawer.

  • The hard drive on my Macbook Pro is getting full (mainly due to the size of my iTunes library). Can I store it on my time capsule and if so, how is it done ?

    The hard drive on my Macbook Pro is getting full (mainly due to the size of my iTunes library). Can I store it on my time capsule and if so, how is it done ?

    You can store your iTunes library on a Time Capsule.  So that you can access on your local (home) network (I wouldn't recommend access via the internat), (off site.....to slow).  
    If you do decide to put your libray on Time Capsule I'd recommend doing this.
    Option 1:
    1.  Don't use TC as a Backup (Time Machine).
    2.  Connect a USB drive to your TC or Computer and backup to the  drive. Backup when a change is made to the library (adding Apps, Songs you get the idea). 
    Option 2:  (What Im doing)
    1.   Two Time Capsule's connected via ethernet cable (roaming mode, bridge).
    2.   Use TC1 as a Time Machine backup
    3.   Use TC2 as network drive.  (The information on TC2 does NOT get backed up to TC1).
    3a. Connect a USB, FW, drive to your desktop computer (if you have one) use SilverKeeper to schedule backups.       Silverkeeper will look at TC2 and back it up to a external or internal HD.  I've been doing the or some time now.  Or connect to your TC and do an archive.
    I have this setup because I don't trust Cloud base services and I want access to my files (in Sync) on TC where ever I am, as long as there's a internet connection.  It's expensive, but does exactly what I expect.
    The most important thing is to safe guard your data in case of a failure.
    In your situation it would probably be better to get a high speed SD or thumb drive, however I've never been successful in backing up those type of drives with TM.  What ever you decide to do make sure you have a GOOD duplicate (backup).

  • How do I move the music from my iTunes library on my desktop computer to my iPad?

    How do I move the music from my iTunes library on my desktop computer to my iPad?

    Connect the iPad to your computer and select it on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (if you have iTunes 11 on your computer then you can enable the left-hand sidebar via control-S on a PC, option-command-S on a Mac), and then use the Music tab on the right-hand side of iTunes to select which of your iTunes music to sync to the iPad's Music app

  • How do I refresh the music in my itunes library?

    How do I refresh the music in my itunes library?  After several days of ripping cd's, merging numerous libraries, and deleting a ton of duplicates, I basically need itunes to start fresh.  Suggestions?

    Well you could just delete everything from iTunes, without deleting the files, and then import the media folder. Or you could delete the iTunes Library.itl file and let iTunes scan your media when it starts up. Or you could use iTunes Folder Watch with its option to Check for dead tracks on startup selected.
    In general it is easier to use iTunes to manage the media folder rather than manipulating things by hand and then getting iTunes to play catch up. I have a script called DeDuper for automatic deduping, see this thread for background

  • How do I change the location of my iTunes Library?

    I upgraded my iTunes to 8. This version creates a new library in C:users/myname/itunes/itunes music. I had my former library in an external HD, and I'm not able to use it as the Library to this version. Can someone provide me suggestions?

    You can change the location of your iTunes Library by doing a shift key start.
    Hold down the shift key and start iTunes. Keep holding down the shift key until you are prompted to choose a library.
    Navigate to the iTunes folder on your external drive and choose iTunes Library.itl.
    If you did not have you library databases on the external drive post back, giving the location of the iTunes Library.itl that you want to use and the location of your iTunes Music folder.

  • How do I determine the size of an object on a particular layer?

    Whether it's a rectangle, circle, line, etc. how do I determine what the size of an object is on a particular layer?

    Right click on the rulers and set the scale to pixels in the dialog
    Go to View>new guide and select the position of the guide lines along horizontal and vertial axes
    Window>info brings up the Info Palette. The information in the right lower corner provides a readout of any selection that you make, e.g. with the marquee tool
    View>grid allows one to bring up a non-printable grid which is useful for orientation. The grid can be set up with subdivisions to suit via Edit>preferences>guides and grid
    You can open a duplicate layer at the top of the stack, then using the brush tool create a straight line for visual projection. The layer can be deleted at any time. To create a straight line, click on the begin point, hold down the shift key, and click on the end point
    Hope that one of these options is useful for your purpose. Please post your progress.

  • How do I determine the size of an object?

    After an object is instantiated, is there anyway to determine its size (in bytes)?

    Why do you want to know? Java handles memory management for you.
    IIRC for Sun JVM 1.4:
    Objects: four bytes for each reference, boolean, byte, short, int, float or character field, eight bytes for each long or double field, plus sixteen bytes header information.
    Arrays: length * (four for reference, int or float; one for boolean or byte; two for short or character; eightfor long or double), plus sixteen bytes header information.

  • How do i reduce the size of my Giant library file?

    My laptop is running out of room.  I have only 80gigs left (11% of the HD) and it is causing issues with the system.  I am assuming the virtual memory is unable to run properly as there isn't enough HD space for it.  So i have been trying to clean out my large number of video files (I make a lot of movies in iMovie).  I have deleted a lot of files so far, but so far that has only freed up 12gigs. 
    Inoticed the "Library.imovielibrary" file is 322 gigs.  I tried deleting some of the projects in there, but the file has not changed size.  How do i reduce its size?

    Have you as well deleted them in the basket in iMovie and then as well on the basket in the dock ??
