How do I find out how much of my hard drive space is used up

I have a Mac OS X Version 10.7.5. Processor 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo; Memory 2 GB 1067 MHz DDR3. Computer is running very slow. I cleared downloads and reset Safari, emptied trash, etc. How  can I find out how much space I have left on my hard drive?

As you appear to have at least OS 10.7 installed, you can simply highlight your hard drive and press the SPACE bar to get this:

    How do I find my photos on my external hard drive backed up using Time Machine?
    My hard drive died so this is my only storage. The hard drive was from an early 2008 Macbook Pro.
    I had recently installed Snow Leopard.

    If they’re in an iPhoto library, look in the Pictures folder of your home folder first. Otherwise, they’ll be in the location corresponding to the one you saved them to.

  • How do I find out what's on my hard drive and clean it up

    The hard drive is filled with "other", not video or photos.  I don't know what's clogging it up or how to get it cleaned up.  Please help.

    Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
      1. See Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks' Storage Display.
      2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
      3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
      4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
      5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
      6. See The Storage Display.
    You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
    You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
    Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located.

  • HT1689 How do I find out how much is left in my iTunes account on an iPad with retina display? I've swiped to the bottom of the screen to look for it, I've looked in settings and everywhere else I can think of! Help please!

    How do I find out how much is left in my iTunes account? I've looked all over and can't find it!  Help!

    In the iTunes or App Store app, go to the Featured Tab, and swipe all the way to the bottom.
    On the button that has your Apple ID it should state your account balance under your Apple ID.
    If it doesn't. Tap on the button to bring up your Apple ID. At the top of the window that opens there should be a line that reads: "Apple ID Balance:"  and the amount you have.

  • How do I find out how much space OSX and applications are taking up on my HDD?

    I am thinking of moving my OS and all applications to a SSD to free up space on my MBP.
    My question is how do I find out how much space OSX and installed applications are taking up on my HDD so I know how big the SSD needs to be?  Also, what is the best way to move these files across to the new SSD once installed?
    Many thanks,
    Andrew.

    If you do command-click or right click on your hard drive and select get info, it will tell you how full the HD is.
    there are some apps that can show you exactly how big particular apps are

    I replaced my internal drive with a SSD for performance reasons a few months ago. There are a number of ways to move your files over to the new SSD. I am a fan of the clean install, which might take a bit more time and effort but results in a very fast and trouble free mac. An easy way to do this if you are replacing your internal drive is to put the old drive in an external drive enclosure. Then you install the new SSD and install mavericks on it. In my case I used Diskmaker X to make a Mavericks installer (DiskMaker X (formerly Lion DiskMaker) . Then you can reinstall your apps from scratch, and finally move your documents over from the external drive.

  • How do I find out how much tax costs

    Trying to purchase an app via the app store, the app is $99.99 and I have $100 in credit.  But I am getting the error that I have insufficient store credit to make the purchase.  In the forums, others have had the same issue, and many of those issues were resolved as not having enough in credit to cover tax.
    So how do I find out how much tax is going to cost for any particular app so I will know how much more I will need to add in credit?  And why is the cost of tax not included with the cost of the app?!  Why is there no actual representation of the real costs including taxes and any additional fees for any given app in the App Store?!

    The tax is the sales tax rate for the state in which you reside. Multiply your sales tax rate times the price of the software to find out what is needed to cover both.

    How can I find out how much is left on my ITunes gift card?

    My account's balance shows at the top left of the store's page on my computer's iTunes, and by logging in to view my account on it (via the Store > View Account menu option). On my iPad and iPhone it shows at the bottom of, for example, the Featured tab in the App Store app under my account id (or you can view your account via Settings > iTunes & App Stores and it should show on the screen that you are taken to)

  • How do I find out how much is left on my itunes gift card

    How do I find out how much is left on m itunes gift card?

    Once you redeem the card, there is no value left on it.  The Redeem process puts the full amount as a credit balance into your account, and then you spend it down by using your account. 
    As Gnome notes, you can always see how much is credit balance is on your account.
