    How do I find out how much hard drive space I'm using? My system profiler doesn't tell me didley.

    Hello! Single click on your hard drive icon to select it and then under the file menu in the finder choose "get info" and then information will be displayed. Or if you're using a two button mouse do a right click on the HD icon and choose "get info". Tom

  • How can i tell how much hard drive space my website is taking up on my computer?

    I have a website that i build through iweb and publish via mobile me.  i have about 200 podcasts on the site, and I am trying to figure out how much hard drive space this is taking up on my computer.  these files are not in itunes, and i'm not concerned about the space they are taking up in my cloud, i just want to know how much space on my computer they are taking up because i'm trying to decide if i should move my iweb site to a different computer to alleviate some space issues.  any help would be much appreciated.

    Check the size of the Domain.site2 file that is in your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder.  it contains all of the files used to create and publish your site.  I'm not sure if it copies the podcasts into it or not. You can open the domain package and do a search for them. Just don't move, rename or delete any files inside that package or your site is toast.

  • How much hard drive space does Tiger need to be installed?

    I have a small hard drive that I want to set up as a boot drive. What is the minimum disk space required to install Tiger? Thanks.

    For an emergency boot drive 20GB will work, possibly even a 10GB if you omit several unused Languages & Printer drivers.
    While a finished install may end up only 2.5 GB, during installation many temp & VM files are used, possibly as much as 10GB for a 2.5 GB install.
    IMO, 20GB is not enough for use on anything but Emergency use.
    If you're not going to install from your Optical, how are you going to do it?

  • How much hard drive space does i tunes use?

    would like to know how much memory i tunes takes. Also curious as to how well laptops run it.

    It runs fine on laptops.
    Disk usage: On my machine, iTunes and Quicktime together use about 150 MB. Plus whatever GB of music you have in your library.
    Memory: At the moment, iTunes is playing a song and it is using 77 MB of memory. (That is not that high since most machines have 1000 MB or more of memory.)

  • How much hard drive space needed?

    I want to start using time machine when i update my Os this weekend. I have three drives i want to use. two are 500 gb and the other is a 750gb drive. Should i use both 500 drives as one and use the 750 as an external or should i use a 500 and 750 together and use the 500 as a backup external?
    I know either way i do it my external drive will be smaller than my main drive but i want to make sure i'm able to back up as much as possible.

    No. If the drives have data on them the data will be lost when you create the RAID. You cannot put a system volume in a RAID. You must first create the RAID then install the OS. However, I would strongly advise against using a RAID for a startup volume.
    Before you decide to use a RAID you should do some research on RAIDs:
    RAID Basics
    For basic definitions and discussion of what a RAID is and the different types of RAIDs see RAIDs. Additional discussions plus advantages and disadvantages of RAIDs and different RAID arrays see:
    RAID Tutorial;
    RAID Array and Server: Hardware and Service Comparison>.
    Hardware or Software RAID?
    RAID Hardware Vs RAID Software - What is your best option?
    RAID is a method of combining multiple disk drives into a single entity in order to improve the overall performance and reliability of your system. The different options for combining the disks are referred to as RAID levels. There are several different levels of RAID available depending on the needs of your system. One of the options available to you is whether you should use a Hardware RAID solution or a Software RAID solution.
    RAID Hardware is always a disk controller to which you can cable up the disk drives. RAID Software is a set of kernel modules coupled together with management utilities that implement RAID in Software and require no additional hardware.
    Pros and cons
    Software RAID is more flexible than Hardware RAID. Software RAID is also considerably less expensive. On the other hand, a Software RAID system requires more CPU cycles and power to run well than a comparable Hardware RAID System. Also, because Software RAID operates on a partition by partition basis where a number of individual disk partitions are grouped together as opposed to Hardware RAID systems which generally group together entire disk drives, Software RAID tends be slightly more complicated to run. This is because it has more available configurations and options. An added benefit to the slightly more expensive Hardware RAID solution is that many Hardware RAID systems incorporate features that are specialized for optimizing the performance of your system.
