How do you see the size of your library now in iTunes 11?

On iTunes 10 when you were looking at your song list, at the bottom everyone has seen the small informative text that tells you how many days it would take to listen to the songs that you currently have on the screen. Where is that information now??
How do you see the size of your library, or is there an option in iTunes 11 that will allow you to enable a way to see that text again at the bottom of your screen?

In the menu bar, open "view", and click "show status bar"
(Or the shortcut to toggle it is CTRL + / )

Open the iBooks app. All your iBooks should load there.
You can see the file size for each iBook by clicking List from the menu bar top of the iBooks window.

How do you see the contents of your "Domain" file?

Thanks to this forum I have found out that the photo files on my Web site are stored in the Domain file under Application Support. How do you see the contents of this file? When I double-click on it, iWeb launches and I see the actual Web site.
12" PowerBook Mac OS X (10.4.8) G4 1.5 GHz, 768 MB RAM

i don't think it will work. because when you open up the domain file after you changed the size of the pictures, iWeb will probably save again while uploading - so the changes were for nothing. yet i haven't tried it.
other way is to change them after you published. using graphic converter you just drag all at once in and change all the sizes at once.

With iTunes 11 how do you see the size of music or other albums? ie number of tracks and disc space

When attempting to sync my iPhone 4s with the new iTunes 11 i get an error message " cannot sync as need more disc space" however the usage bar on the iphone shows space enough; how can you see the total volume of libraries such as music and films in the new iTunes?

It may be the disc space on your computer, not the phone. In itunes if you click on music, movies, apps, etc it shows the total usage at the bottom of the screen. Good luck.

Where can you see the size of your image?

Hi all,
For contests and such, I need to know the size of my images. I don't know where the size--in inches--displays in LR, so I always have to export to Photoshop to see what the size of the image is at different resolutions (240ppi, 300ppi, 600ppi). There must be a way, can anyone fill me in?
Thanks!
Alec

"images are by and large worthless in the real world unless they are printed in some fashion which requires inches"
Yes, but that does not mean that images on your computer (your hard drive) have a dimension in inches. The size in inches is determined on output for printing and varies according to the resolution that you choose for the print. For instance if you have an image with a pixel size of 2000 x 3000 pixels - if you print it at a resolution of 300 ppi / dpi the image size in inches will be 6.66" x 10". If you print it with a resolutin of 200 ppi / dpi the size in inches will be 10" x 15"; and if you print it with a resolution of 100 ppi / dpi the size will be 20" x 30". Of course, a print resolution of 100 ppi / dpi is only theoretical, because the quality of the print will be awful, and if you want to print an image of 2000 x 3000 ppi in a size of 20' x 30' you have to upsample (enlarge) it first.
So size of an image in inches is detyermind by the formula: pixel amount / resolution in ppi/dpi.
ppi = pixels per inch - ppi is used when we talk about an image on screen
dpi = dots per inch - dpi is used when we talk about print output.

"LR printing is fine for snapshots but insufficient for printing from large format printers for fine art."
Why, do you say that? Printing from LR is not substantially different than printing from Photoshop. LR gives you the same printing options as does Photoshop.
I suggest you have a second look at the Print Module in LR.

Bob, how did you change the icon of your Windows drive?

CandyBar only shows my Macintosh HD in the volumes window.
I am afraid to drag it into CandyBar's volumes window as this might unmount it and cause all sorts of issues.
Thanks ... Ken

Click the icon (of the Winodws drive) and click '+I', do the same with the icon you would like to replace it with. Click the little icon [that is there when you click '+I' (its really small in the top left corner) on the icon you are going to use to make it for the Windows drive] until there is a blue highlight around it. Once it is, click '+c', now go and switch to the Windows drive & make it highlighted, and then click '+v'. You should see the icon change to the one you replaced it with.
This doesn't make very much sense but I hope it helps =)

How do you lock the name of a hard drive?

I have looked quite a bit through the forums and cannot find an exact answer concerning locking the HD name not the entire drive, just its name. Over the years I have several times, I quess parked the cursor over the name of the hard drive and some how highlighted it and started entering text only to find that I have been typing in the drivename box. Not always a problem, when you catch it right away. I'v come back and found my Macintosh HD named -T, Q or whatever key strokes might have been entered. I have lost drive partitions because I couldn't remember the name I had given it.
all models Mac OS X (10.4.7) earlier Mac OS systems as well

The same way you change it on the internal drive; click on the name and wait a second or two for the field to drop into editing mode, then just type the new name. Or Get Info on the file/folder and change the name there.

How do you save homemade DVD to your hard drive?

I just had a friend give me a burned DVD of video he took of an event. I want to share it on facebook, but I have to find a way to get it saved on my lap top first. I downloaded Xilisoft to do this, but it's still not working (even though the program said my info was successfully copied). What am I doing wrong? Help!

Hi,
The best option is to pull the card out and plug to your computer UNLESS your computer does not have a card reader. If your computer did not have a card reader, you need to map the cardreader on your printer to your network using the following method:

How can I see the size and colour of text in DW Cs5?

Hi forum, how do you see the size and colour of a piece of text in Dreamweaver Cs5, I have some text in a dreamweaver file which is a size I like and a colour I like and I want to make a CSS rule with these characteristics. How can you see what size and colour a piece of text is?
Many thanks for any help
Gareth

<td height="89" colspan="5" valign="top"><p><font color="#FF0066" size="-1" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">what is the text size, colour and boldness of this piece of text.</font></p></td>
Above code is deprecated. CS5 will not pick up these styles in the CSS styles panel. Legacy sites are not simple to work with. They need to be converted to modern standards. You do this by stripping the HTML styles from markup and re-writing styles to CSS.
<p>This is a normal paragraph</p>
Put your CSS styles between your document's <head> and </head> tags:
<style type="text/css">
p {
color: #FF0066;
font-size: small;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
</style>
Or, create an external stylesheet to which your HTML documents are linked like this:

HT4859 how do you see the items that are backed up to iCloud - I have 4.5 GB that I have used but I cant find where to see those items...help

how do you see the items that are backed up to iCloud - I have 4.5 GB that I have used but I cant find where to see those items...help

That is everything in your iCloud account. Videos and camera roll photos are only included in your backup, the size and content of which you can see on your phone in Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage>tap the name of your device under Backup. This will show you the size of "Camera Roll", where these are contained. (You can't see any detail beyond that.) Photo stream photos can only been seen in your photo stream album on your phone, and they don't count against your storage so they aren't part of the 4.5 GB. Everything esle is either in the backup, the items listed in Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, or on icloud.com, where you can see your contacts, calendars, etc.

How do you change the size of pictures?

Hello,
I'm a new Mac user. How do you change the size of pictures in iPhoto? Sometimes when sending e-mails, the picture files are extremely large and take a long time to load... Is there any way you can make the picture or file smaller? Like on a PC, you can open the photo in the Paint program and just reduce the size... Is there anything like this for the Mac?
Thanks!

Assuming that you're accessing your email package from INSIDE iPhoto, you're given a choice of picture sizes. Personally, I've found "medium" to be a good compromise but you might prefer "small" (iPhoto will tell you the file size).
If you don't know what I'm talking about, first go iPhoto Preferences > General and select your email client. Then, go to the View menu and select Show in Toolbar > Email.
