How do I find where my larger files are all at Once

Like all I am getting close to having a full HD. Is there a way to tell where all my large files are all at the same time without having to go to each folder, file, application
Thx Much

Thx Much, I am aware of all that, just wondering is there is any software freeware, widget that could tell me where all my very large files are at the same time with having to go through all the folders/files/libraries..
It is amazing that many large files are stored in the strangest places.

How do I find where the master file for a version in aperture 3

I was wondering how to find where the original master image is in the aperture 3 library. For instance we have several images that are in different albums and folders but are trying to find where the original image is in the library.

Is your Library managed or referenced?
If your library is referenced, then you can reveal the master image file by selecting the image in the browser and selecting "File -> Show in Finder" from the menu.
If your library is managed you will have to open the Library package to see the master image files: Ctrl-click the Aperture library and select "Show Package Contents" from the Pop-up menu. Then browse the folder "Masters", but very carefully - don't change anything inside the package! The Masters-folder is arranged by date: year, month, day ...
But you can always look at the master image files from inside Aperture - much safer: Select any image and type "m" - that will show you what the master image file is like - type "m" again to view the version.

If OS X is reporting you need to remove some items you obviously have a more severe issue.
To fix your issue is likely too complicated and lengthy to go into all of it here as it sounds like a OS X issue, it will require the services of person very familiar and experienced with Mac's to first recover your data and then restore OS X back to a functional state which may or may not require new hardware/software installed.
If your under warranty or AppleCare, take it in for service.
You can also hire the services of a local Mac computer support technician experienced in these matters.
Have them look at your Wifi, RAM amount, extra storage and computer backup proceedures in the process.
Good Luck.

How can I see where the music files are?

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.

HI,
this is a simple example with a cursor over user_tables view:
set serveroutput on
DECLARE
   CURSOR c_test IS
      SELECT table_name FROM user_tables;
   type t_reg is table of varchar2(30);
   l_reg t_reg;
BEGIN
   OPEN c_test;
   fetch c_test bulk collect into l_reg;
   dbms_output.put_line(c_test%ROWCOUNT);
END;
/Output:

How can I find .plist and .kext files?

How can I find .plist and .kext files which are corrupt and need to be deleted before restarting and reloading applications)? Where are they hidden? How do I make them visible?
/hezet

Thank you Eric and Lanny for your answers!
I was confused as the files could neither be found by Spotlight nor by the search field in the upper right corner of the Finder windows (why??), but I have located them now. The files were:
AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext The name appeared in i a warning window now and then.
The .plist files were reported red (failed) by EtreCheck:
com.apple.CSConfigDotMacCert-***@me.com-SharedServices.Agent.plist
com.adobe.SwitchBoard.
com.apple.netauth.sysagent.plist
I have deleted all four files and restarted the computer. Now there are no items in red in EtreCheck, but none of the deleted files has been replaced after restart.
So far the computer seems to work well. What action do you consider appropriate now?

I have rented a movie on my ipad. It did not download due to not being on wifi at the time. I know I completed the rental because my gift card balance went down $3.99 plus tax. How do I find where to download the movie?

I have rented a movie on my ipad. It did not download due to not being on wifi at the time. I know I completed the rental because my gift card balance went down $3.99 plus tax. How do I find where to download the movie?

But now I can't find the actual movie...I go to iTunes to purchases and view movies , to downloads and searched the title of the movie...I can see an icon of it and it is in a separate place from other purchases but it says downloaded in faded lettering. Where is it?
If you can't find the movie you downloaded on your iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch, check inside your Videos App

I've "successfully" installed the latest version of Flash Player. How do I find where it "lives" so that I'm certain it's in there. Also, do I put the App icon in the trash now? (I am on a Mac) Thank you!

I've "successfully" installed the latest version of Flash Player, as recommended by Firefox. How do I find where it "lives" so that I'm certain it's in there. Also, do I put the App icon that appears on my desktop, in the trash now? I am on a Mac and I am not technically inclined.
Thank you!

Your list of plugins shows that you have installed Flash 10.2 r152 which is the current release version.
You can also confirm that Flash is installed by visiting this link - http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about

How do I find and delete large images in iPhoto 11?

Hi!
I have a large iPhoto library containing more than 16000 images, among them a slew of HD movies. Some of these images and movies can be deleted and I would like to find the largest ones in order to save them on an external drive and remove them from the library. Is there any way to sort all images by filesize?
Thanks for any help!
Kind regards,
Anders

Hi Keith,
Thanks for the advice! However, it's not possible find the really large files this way since file size is not a smart album option. There are too many movies to find them manually.
Best regards,
Anders

How to make Finder NOT to show files from a specific folder in "All My Files"?

Hello!
Can someone please advice how to make finder NOT to show files from a specific folder in "All My Files"? See the attach - I recently installed Civilization 5 from Steam and now I have a lot of unneeded files (*.log and *.ini) shown in All My Files colder in Finder.
I don't want to see them. Any advise?

Using "All my Files" was very handy before all this rubbish popped up. =(

I can't find where iweb saves files. i have no iweb folder in my library applications. any ideas?

i can't find where iweb saves files. i have no iweb folder in my library applications. any ideas?

Yes you do - it is found under your User Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites.
It is the domain.sites folder that you want and the iWeb folder is NOT in your System Library, but rather your User Library - that's the one with the house.
Depending on what OS you are using - from Lion upwards, your User Library is invisible, so to make it visible, go to the Go menu and hold down the 'alt' key at the same time and your Library will show - then go to Application Support and the iWeb folder is there with your domain.sites file in it. Double click on this file to open it and iWeb will.

I upgraded from snow leopard to mavericks only to find that my backup files of all my CS3 indesign, illustrator, photoshop wo't run, how do I uninstall mavericks and get my old system back

I upgraded from snow leopard to mavericks only to find that my backup files of all my CS3 indesign, illustrator, photoshop wo't run, how do I uninstall mavericks and get my old system back. I retired from graphics a few years back but still have old clients I do work for and maintain files for. Would not have upgraded if I had known of the incompatability.

You did not due any due dilligence to investigate if your legacy apps would run, you should upgrade your apps. However if you feel you have to downgrade back to SL then click

Error message: "There is no default application specified to open this document." How do I find app. to open file??

I am trying to NETGEAR software for a Wireless USB adapter. When I put cd in and click autorun.exe file it says "There is no default application specified to open this document." How do I find app. to open file??

Or if you get stuck, post back with details of the Netgear device you are attempting to use.
I'm sure that we can get it to work, but be prepared that it just MAY have to go back, if for example it requires Mac OS X 10.4 or later - I found a lot of networking USB dongles seem to require OS X 10.4.11 or later. But Netgear are one of the better device manufacturers, so I'm hopeful it'll work just fine.
