How much HD space after migration?

Situation: new PB, old iMacG5. Did the migration thing, now left with 18g out of 60. Some things I wanted transfered, some not. Cleaned out iPhoto, iTunes, some docs. Feel I need more space for editing video.
I see HD issues get a lot of attention here, but can't find the info I need.
Thanks a bunch.

Not sure what your question is. An installation with all the 'stuff' that Apple normally ships is around 10gb-15gb. How much non-system files did you migrate over from your iMac? Doing the math it sounds like around 55gb actual space to start (stated gb is not the usable capacity - do a get info on your hard drive to see the total usable capacity) minus 15gb for the system (which may be a little heavy) minus 20-22gb transferred files equals a little less than 20 gb available. Sound about right?
You may want to consider an external hard drive, as 18-20gb really isn't enough for video editing medium to largish projects, especially when you want to leave 10% of your drive, or around 6gb open for system usage.

  • How much free space will be left after import ?

    Hallo. I need to replace all schemas on integration server using those on production server. I want to know how much free space will be left on /data at integration server after this kind of refresh. Both databases are Oracle 9 so I will use exp/imp. Here is how I do it. Could you check if I think good? On target server there is 72 GB free space on /data.
    Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted
    /dev/vgsmxdata/lvsmxcopy 194.74G 122.56G 72.18G 63% /data
    Overall size of schemas to be exported from SOURCE_DB is 150 GB. The same schemas on TARGET_DB takes 90GB. So difference is 60GB. Free space in datafiles in TARGET_DB is 30GB. Does it mean that in first place the free space in datafiles will be filled and after that datafiles would be extended? That would mean that a database would extend to 150GB and free space on /data would be 40 GB after refresh. Am I right?
    SELECT 'TOTAL :'||SUM(ALLOCATED_MB),

  • How much disk space does a typical system start up disk use?

    I am trying to partition a 640 GB hard drive for my 17" MacBook Pro. I created a partition of 30GB for the "System Start Up Disk", and after installing the original Tiger OSX software, and then doing the Leopard Upgrade Install, It says that I am out of disk space on that partition.
    Does anyone know how much disk space is sufficient for a typical System Start-Up Disk?
    How about disk space for Applications?

    Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
    Why do you want to partition that disk?
    Does anyone know how much disk space is sufficient for a typical System Start-Up Disk?
    When not booted from that drive (meaning, I believe, that it's not allocating swap or page space) my OS X 10.5 system uses 68.4 GB, including 10 GB for applications, 2.5 GB for the Developer folder, and 25.5 GB for user folders.

  • How much usable "space" does a MacBook Air start with?

    I am contemplating purshasing a MacBook air and would like to know how much "useable" space it starts with. I know there are two options for storage (128GB and 256GB) but I would like to know how much of that is left after a base installational of Mavericks.
    Also, is there a resource that will tell me how much space common apps will take up? (Numbers, Pages, etc)
    Thank you

  • How much storage space do i need? 16, 32 or 64GB?

    How much storage space do i need? 16, 32 or 64GB?

    It really depends what u use ur iPad for, I have a an iPod4 so I don't need music on my iPad I just have apps and photos and only use 15 gb out of my 32gb, I don't store videos unless I'll be planning on watching them soon and I delete them straight after,  unless u really want ur music on I'd go for the 64 gb, but i sit comfortable with a 32gb

  • 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.

    I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and want to upgrade to Yosemite, which requires about 5.7 GB. When I go to About this Mac, I see that I have 4GB memory. But to upgrade I think I need 5.7 RAM. I don't know difference between GB in memory and RAM. How do I find out how much free space I have and if it's enough to download Yosemite? I have 2.4 GHz processor speed for my MacBook 7.1. Also, first time I tried downloading, I ran out of gigabytes from my broadband account. I bought more ( 6 GB) and then the downloading stopped and never completed? Could I have run out of gigabytes on broadband account again?
    RAM is different to disk space. Niel's #2 instruction tell you how to check disk space. That is where the installer will be saved when you download it.
    Make sure the disk has well over 20-30GB free, the OS can perform badly if you fill the disk too full.
    Since you have 6GB a 'cap' on your downloads I'd strongly suggest that you do the following if you ever manage to download the installer…
    Wait for the download to complete, when the large window pops up prompting you to install OS X click Cancel.
    Now open the Applications folder, find the installer (called 'Install OS X Yosemite'). Copy that to another disk for safe keeping.
    When copied you can open the installer application from the Applications folder & continue to install OS X.
    The reason for making a copy is because the installer will delete itself after installation. If you ever need to re-run it you will need to download it again. This is not good when you have a download limit on your internet connection.
    Do you have access to any other internet connections? A friend, relative or business that has no download cap? It could be expensive to keep hitting your cap.
    P.S. The installer may restart instead of resuming the download, so it is possible that the entire 5.7 GB will need to be downloaded again.

  • How much HD space for Local Time Machine?

    Hi and thanks for reading..
    I am noticing that since i have instlled Lion, if I cancel a file (even big) and empty the trash, the free space in my HD does not decrease.
    May be it is due to the local time machine backup?
    I have tried to connect the external time machine backup but after the time machine backup I have no improvement in the internal HD...
    Any suggestion?
    I am also wondering how much HD space is dedicated to the local Time Machine Backups.
    Thanks, bye

    I believe this will answer your questions.

  • How much HD space should I partician for Windows XP?

    I am upgrading to a new (2010) iMac i5 with 1 TB HD and I was wondering how much disc space I should make for Windows XP? I only have a couple of special apps that I use in Windows and the attending files do not take up much space so other than the OS I may not need too much, but would appreciate a little starting point. Thanks.

    I got this mixed up with my Shakespearean readings. I should be partition. I hit the key before reading.

    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.
