How much Hard drive space lion uses

How do I find out how HD space my upgraded Lion OS and Apps are using? I am purchasing a new iMac with 256GB SSD for the main drive and 1 TB for the secondary drive, but I want to make sure that 1. My current apps and lion will fit on the new HD as well as have room for a windows BootCamp install. Is there a way to find out?

General requirements
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
In Finder you can under View>Show staus bar This will tell how much available space you have on your HD.
You can in Terminal copy and paste:
df -H

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 left

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 much hard drive is HD using, I'm confused.

On a small project, footage shot with my Sony HDR-HC3, my editor said the massive hard drive space needed to capture the Raw footage is due to HD. If I had shot the footage on say a GL1 Canon it would need only 1/2 or less of the hard drive space.
But I've seen this contradicted by other people who say it's becuase of AIC -- Apple Intermedia Codec, that creates such huge files. What is lowdown on disk space shooting on HD (mini DV tape) with an HD camcorder vs shooting mini DV on a Standard Camcorder like the GL1 or 2.

Doesn't that depend on what the deliverable is?
I can't imagine too many scenarios where its a good idea to capture HDV natively, unless your going back to HDV tape. But if your going to just about any other format, SD-DVD, Blu-Ray DVD, uncompressed SD or any web format I'd choose either AIC for the lower resolutions and ProRes for any HD distribution.
Especially now that you can capture directly into ProRes from HDV via firewire.

Late 2011 MacBook Pro - how much hard drive space used for OS, iLife, system files?

Dear Community,
I've just taken delivery of a used MacBook Pro. It's pristine, hardly used.
It has a 750Gb hard drive with 500Gb free. Does this sound about right or could there be hidden files lurking unseen? The previous user had installed Microsoft Windows but I can't find any sign of a partition for that and the previous owner said he'd erased everything except Lion, iLife and system files, etc.
I looked in System Info which it isn't showing a large partition. I also looked in Disk Utiliy under Partition which seems to show un "current" a single drive with no partitions and around 200Gb used. It just seems a lot for the basic files.
I have another 100Gb to add to that when I migrate my PowerBook over in the next few days. That's okay while I have the current drive but I've purchased a 500Gb Crucial SSD drive to replace it so that will leave 200Gb free.
I know I can remove the super drive and put my 750Gb drive in its place but I need super drive for viewing DVDs.
I would grateful for any feedback.

Thanks everyone for your help with this.
After hours of trying to figure this out I located around 150Gb in total but found there was no way of removing references to the original owner whose "Home" file in Finder remained prominent.
So I elected to erase the drive and reinstall Lion using Disk Utility. It took two hours or so to download and I took the precaution of plugging directly into Ethernet rather than my Airport.
When the download was complete I was able to input fresh details so all trace of the original owner has been removed.
Once that was done I upgraded to Lion 10.7.5 and was able to download Garage Band, iMovie and iPhoto for free from the App Store.
Anybody contemplating doing the same should check that their machine is elligible before erasing as Apple does an auto check before downloading.
Here's the state of the hard drive now:
Thanks again and what a great resource the community forum's are:-)

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 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?
