How do I find how much space specific documents, applications, music files, etc. are taking up on my hard drive?

I checked out my hard drive and found it is getting rather full.  Disk Utilities gives me an overall picture of how much disk space is being used and how much remains, but I'd like to find out which individual files may be hogging space.  The Finder window doesn't give that individual information.  I can find out how much space each item takes by clicking info on each, but there must be a more efficient way of finding this information simply by clicking on folders.

Not free but this is one option.

  • I bought a used white flat screen imac (PPC with OS10.5.8.  I had to replace the harddrive from storm damage.  How can I find/download a full install version of 10.5 to format and load the new hard-drive?  Currently comes on with ? screen.

    I have a white 17' flat panel g5 imac power pc, I recently bought used.  It had OS 10.5.8.  Due to a storm the hard drive was damaged and I replace with new hd.
    I did not get a system disc or other support discs with the machine. How or where can I find or download a new-install version of OS 10.5 or up to 10.5.8 that will work with the PPC?  Thanks.

    Call the Apple Store and ask them to sell you a copy, you can then use the combo updater   or you can buy a copy on eBay, but make sure it's the black retail copy and not a grey machine specific disc.

  • I'm trying to make some room on my iMac hard rive, which is almost full after 4 years of movies,music, pictures, etc.  I bought an external hard drive and thought I moved most of the movies and pics to the ext drive, but they still show as taking up space

    I recently got a message saying that my startup disk was almost full.  I tried moving files on to an external drive to make some space, but the files still show as taking up room when I look at my product info storage.  The files appear to have been moved and deleted off of my internal drive.  I copied them from one to the other and then moved the ones on the internal to my trash and then emptied the trash folder.  What else can I do.   When I open iMovie, even though I moved the movies from the iMovie folder, they still load as iMovie thumbnails, which takes forever.  I appreciate any suggestions.  Thanks.

    First of all make sure that you've definitely backed up the movies to your external hard disc.
    In iMovie click on any event you don't want, go to the file menu and select 'move event to trash'. Then do the same for any unwanted projects - 'move project to trash'. Quit out of iMovie and empty the trash.
    Hope that helps!

  • How do I find how much me more I have available on my mac?

    How do I find how much me more I have available on my mac?

    if you mean "Memory", as in RAM, you can 1. look at "About this Mac" which is under the apple menu at the top left of your screen, and it will tell you how much total ram you have.
    2. If you mean hard drive space, if you select your startup drive in the finder, and do "Get Info" (control-click), it will tell you how big the hard drive is, and how much free space is on it.
    3. Or go to applications>utilities>activity monitor and check out the system memory and disc usage buttons on the bottom.

  • How can I find unknown number between specific numbers?

    How can I find unknown number between specific numbers? For example I want to find the start with value from following question... How can I do that? If you run this oracle query SELECT DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL('SEQUENCE','SEQUENCE_NAME') FROM DUAL to find out my sequence DDL you will see the similar given values that assigned to sequence DDL, and if I can find the result here I will apply same technique to my  C# code to find start with value of sequence in oracle.Thanks –
    Given Values
    Min number=20
    Max Number=500
    increment number=10
    start with=?  needs to be find.
    how many times it increments= 5
    where the cycle stopped now= 205
    Conditions;
    1. Start with number has to be either 20 or 500 or between 20-500...
    2. It always increment 5 times.For example, If the start with number is 75 than numbers goes like First cycle=(75,85,95,105,115) Second cycle=(125,135,145,155,165)...Third cycle (175,185,195,205) and it stops on 205.
    Question is If start with number not known. is there any way to find it?
    Thanks!

    Your question has already been answered in your other thread. As I said in your other thread:
    The START WITH value part of the DDL for a sequence is NOT stored in the data dictionary. See the SYS.SEQ$ table for the attributes stored in the dictionary.
    What part of that are you having trouble understanding?
    There IS NO START WITH to find - it does NOT exist!
    Mark this thread ANSWERED and continue using your 2578830 thread if you intend to pursue this further.

  • How do i find which Apple ID is associated with music in my iTunes? When I sync with my iPad and iPhone it tells me I have music, apps etc from more than five IDs. I am asked for PW for a number of now extinct accounts.

    how do i find which Apple ID is associated with music in my iTunes? When I sync with my iPad and iPhone it tells me I have music, apps etc from more than five IDs. I am asked for PW for a number of now extinct accounts.

    Go to Settings/icloud. The Apple ID at the top of the screen is the only one you need to be concerned about. That one MUST be a working ID, and you must know the password for it, or you will be unable to use the phone if it ever crashes, you want to update it, or you want to sell it.
