How much HD space do I have left?

According to "Macintosh HD Info" my PB's HD has a capacity of 93.04 GB, 75.22 GB of which is used. Problem is, I'm the only user and my home folder is listed as being 49.44 GB in size. That's a 25 GB desparity, which seems like a lot, no? When I add up the size of the folders in my finder window (i.e. documents, music, pictures, et al.) it comes to a grand total of 53.13 GB - almost 4 GB larger than my home folder, which I thought contained all those folders in the first place. Sorry if I'm confusing you, but why is my PB saying I'm using 75 GB when the most I can see being used is 53 GB? That seems like a huge difference.

Hi Mark
The answer to your question all depends on what applications you have installed. iLife, for example, installs about 10GB's worth of files. You can find out exactly what you have by running WhatSize.

    How would we know?
    But you can look for yourself if you like, it is your account, and your computer, something we have no access to.
    Go to System Preferences>iCloud and look.

    How much free space do I have?

    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.

  • HT204247 How much storage space do I have in my iCloud email?

    HHow much storage does my icloud email have? For example when I used gmail to send pictures it holds 17GB. So if I send pictures through my ICloud email
    how much storage does it have? Is the storage on my iPad?

    I believe the iCloud email is part of your free 5GB of iCloud storage. The iClould storage lives on Apples computers. Read the article below. Scroll down to Mail then IOS for more info.

  • How much partition space should I have for the windows side?

    I need to set up a partition to run windows on my mac.  what is the minimum space I should use for the partition so that windows doesn't get bogged down?

    After you install and Windows downloads all the updates - that can amount to a year of updates since even SP1 came out, more if original Windows 7.
    Those updates need room to unzip, write the installer cache, update files.  And even with 12GB of free space is a tight fit.
    And that is on top of everything else mentioned.

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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),
    'USED :'||SUM(USED_MB) USED,
    'FREE :'||SUM(FREE_SPACE_MB)
    FROM (SELECT SUBSTR (df.NAME, 1, 40) file_name, df.bytes / 1024 / 1024 allocated_mb,
    ((df.bytes / 1024 / 1024) - NVL (SUM (dfs.bytes) / 1024 / 1024, 0)) used_mb,
    NVL (SUM (dfs.bytes) / 1024 / 1024, 0) free_space_mb
    FROM v$datafile df, dba_free_space dfs
    WHERE df.file# = dfs.file_id(+)
