How much disk space will I need in bootcamp for PC games

Hi, I have installed bootcamp and windows but when I went to use steam on it I coudlnt download anything because i have barely any disk space. I believe this has something to do with the partioning thing. So I need to know how much I roughly need for PC games like I will be buying Elder Scrolls Skyrim when it comes out. And games on steam PLEASE HELP. Oh and BTW im using a 21.5 imac with not upgrades or changes since I bought it.

That depens on a couple of things - how many audio tracks do you have, and what audio quality are you using.
As a rule of thumb: An audio track at 16 bits takes up around 10 megabytes per minute, at 24 bits you need 15 megabytes per minute. So for 10 minutes that makes 100 and 150 MB, respectively.

I Have Logic 9. How much disk space will LP X add?

Hi,
just curious... I have LP 9 on my computer, and my disk is getting, well, fuller (250G or so left). How much disk space will be taken if install LP X next to LP 9? Am I correct that LP X will re-use the old libraries and just adds new content to it? Just curious how much my HD will shrink...
For the time being, I want to keep LP9 alongside LP X for old projects with 32 bit plugins.
Thnx, Jaap

Well... I took the plunge... it seems that the additional content is around 20...25 GB.
When I first installed LP X and opened one of my LP 9 projects, the instruments sounded like toy instruments. LP X obviously didn't "know" yet that the HQ samples were already on my harddisk. After I started downloading the additional content LP X apparantly checked what it needed, and suddenly my old projects sounded fine.

Podcast: How much disc space will I need?

I am recording a single track podcast and want to make sure that I have enough disc space. I think it will run about an hour (for private, not public distribution). Is there a guideline on how much disc space a track takes up per minute?
Thanks.

audio recorded into GB takes about 10MB/minute/track

How much disk space do i need for Windows

Okay looking to partition my hard drive to install Windows 7 using boot Camp, my question is this;
How much hard drive space to I allocate for Windows?
I only need to instal 2 programs to use with windows, I am thinking of doing 100 GB, that will leave me 831 GB for the imac.
thanks

Hi,
100GB sounds like a good choice.
For Windows 7 alone usually about 40GB are recommended. Plus the amount of disk space for the programs and files you use in Windows.

How much disc space will I need to install and run creative cloud?

Thinking of buying a Mac book pro and wondered what size hard drive to get, how much will creative cloud use up on installation?

There's an indication of file sizes for the installers here:
Adobe CC 2014 Direct Download Links: Creative Cloud 2014 Release | ProDesignTools
Any off-the-shelf Mac will have plenty of hard drive space to run Cloud software.
A bigger issue is how much space you need to store your data files (the files you create with the Cloud software), especially if you're doing lots of audio or video work.

How much HD space do I need to create my movie in FCE?

If I create a 20-minute movie in FCE, how much HD space will I need to create the movie and burn to DVD?
I am new to FCE, but when I was using Pinnacle for the PC, Pinnacle would rEnder and write the movie to DVD within the program.
With FCE, I am under the impression I will have to render the movie, then export it to IDVD and burn from there?
Thanks
-Mike

iMovie and Final Cut Express do not burn DVDs. You have to export your work from those applications and import the resulting file(s) into iDVD, DVD Studio Pro or Roxio Toast to build & burn your DVDs.
Regarding hard disk space requirements,
If you have 20 mins of captured DV clips, they will take about 4.3GB of disk space.
If you have a 20 min edited video in FCE and you apply effects, generators or transitions that require rendering, that may take up to another 4.3GB of disk space.
When you export your finished video from FCE, export to QuickTime Movie and UNcheck the option called "Make Movie Self-Contained". That way you will get a QuickTime reference movie that will be rather small, in your case maybe even under 1MB.
When you create & burn your iDVD project, iDVD will use your QuickTime reference movie as input and encode the video to burn it on a DVD. When you save your iDVD project the encoded assets are stored in the project. For a 20 min video, depending on the quality options you select in iDVD, your iDVD project file could be as large as 4.5GB.
So, you should expect to need something like 13GB total space to handle your project from beginning to end.
Of course, if you have more source media, are doing HDV video, do exports from FCE that are Self-Contained, or use iDVD to save DVD images, they will require even more space.

But you can't install XP if you have a new Mac.
Try running XP in a VM or aquire Windows 7 which is the only one supported now.
And you will need more like 60GB for Windows 7, so I would skip on 20GB just to be safe.
20G is a fine minimum for XP, I was not responding to any inquiry about Win 7.

OK... now subtract the music. That's not part of the iPhone backup. Neither are apps, but in app data is.

How much disk space is needed for scratch files?

I hope I am allowed one dumb question. If so, I would like to know how much disk space should I allow when setting scratch files, if my MTS file is 16GB? I am using Premiere Pro CS5 on a PC with Windows 7 Pro-64 bit.

how much disk space should I allow when setting scratch files
All of it. Put them on a large disk (500GB or more) and just let PP take care of the rest.

How much disk space for RT OS

Hi all
RT OS (Desktop) has a problem: If disk is full RT OS won't start.
So I have to limit the amount of file output of my RT application to a reasonable value.
To do this I read free disk space at start of my application (using GetFreeDiskSpaceEx), so I can enshure that MY apllication will not write more data than available space (e.g. by deleting old data).
But I don't know how much disk space the operating system will need while running.
Can anybody tell me a value to calculate with?
Many thanks in advance!

Solved!
Go to Solution.

A general rule of thumb is that the OS needs roughly 25MB of storage for temporary files, .ini files, persistent storage, and the like. Don't suck your usage below 25MB and you should be able to minimize your surprises.
NOTE: This number was obtained empirically via not-so-stringent testing. Your mileage may vary.

How much disk space to allocate?

Hi,
I just got a NAS that supports Time Machine. It allows me to allocate disk space just for Time Machine.
The NAS has 1.5TB disk. My Macbook Pro has a 300GB disk and currently is about 60% full.
Planning also for the future, how much disk space to you recommend to allocate in the NAS for Time Machine?
Thanks

Most of us don't. Your NAS may claim that it supports TM, but Apple doesn't. TM does not back up to network drives, except Time Capsules or external drives attached to another Mac running Leopard on the same network. It will back-up to a USB drive connected to an Airport Extreme, but even that is, technically, unsupported, and requires a running a Terminal command to make it work.
Here's the official word: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1733
You may find some "hacks" that might make it work, in some cases, to a degree. But use them at your own risk.
First, since this is *unsupported by Apple,* there's nowhere to go when there's trouble.
Second, you're risking a future update preventing it from working, and perhaps rendering your backups useless when you need them the most.
If you still think this is a good idea, TM usually requires 2-3 times the space of what it's backing-up to work well. See item #1 in the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip* at the top of this forum.

How much free space do I need to have on my 32GB iPhone 3GS?

How much free space do I need to have on my 32GB iPhone 3GS for optimum performance? I have only 4 GB left and I am worried that performance will soon be degraded.

Apple allocates space on the flash memory for cacheing proposes. You shouldnt worry. You can fill it up with out preformance problems.

How can I find out how much disk space I have free?

I want to download a large file from the internet (22.21 GB). I have deleted everything on my computer that I don't think is necessary to keep, but how do I find out exactly how much disk space my computer has free so I can download?

Hello again Rolanda,
Barry is right on the money here ( Hello Barry! )
You need to delete / remove some files off that computer as soon as possible. Start with things you never use. Then onto things that can easily be replaced.
I would not even attempt to copy to CD's until you have at least 5 or 6 GB free!
Post back if you need more.
Regards
Ian

I haven't done an update since 24.0 because my computer is running out of memory. How much MORE memory will I need to get up to version 28.0?

I haven't done an update since 24.0 because my computer is running out of memory. How much MORE memory will I need to get up to version 28.0?
My computer is really old.
It is running out of memory.
I haven't done a firefox update since 24.0 because I think it will explode my computer.
I see that v28.0 takes 200MB.
How much more is this than what is already loaded for my v24.0?
Will it just add the extra pieces, or will it require a free block of 200MB (which my computer does not have)?
I don't want to crash and lockup my computer because I try to install something that is too big for the remaining memory.
Thanks.

You should updated to Firefox 28, Firefox updates don't take any new space they just replace the existing files.
There are some things you can do to clean up your hard drive to free up space however, http://arstechnica.com/civis/viewtopic.php?p=21178060 and http://support.microsoft.com/kb/956324, also uninstall programs you don't use anymore and delete files you don't need anymore.
You should also start saving up for a new machine, Windows XP is being dropped from support by Microsoft in a few days, which means it will no longer be safe to use on the internet.
