How much space did you get after SL installation?

I am curious about the freed space on hard disk people got after installation. The reason is that I decided to check mine. Before I had 268.99 GB of free space on my 500Gb drive. With Snow Leopard installed I have 302.49 GB of free space now. Simple math calculations show that I got 33.5 GB (!!!). Is it just my iMac or anybody else experienced same relief?

Got a strange issue/bug with our networked XServe RAID since upgrading one of our macs to Snow Leopard yesterday. The SL mac claims there's currently 367 GB available on it, but all of the other Leopard macs report that it's 342! Which is correct?
Is this miraculous hard drive space you get back after a SL installation all smoke and mirrors..?
Aha - I should've read the whole thread and clicked the links! Looks like SL reports file sizes differently.

How much space did you save? I got 17 GB back!

For some reason, I went from 107.44 GB of free space to 124.55 GB of free space on my iMac after installation - a savings of a bit over 17 GB! Nice! It seems that Apple has over-delivered on their promise of 6 GB or I had a bunch of baggage that needed to go and the install did it!
All is well on my install. Things seem snappy but that may just be because the cobwebs have been blown out.

I gained about 8GB upgrading to SL. The installation was seamless, kudos to Apple. Install time was about 65 minutes, but my disk drive is only 5400rpm. The install still took less time than the upgrade from Tiger to Leopard last fall. I chose the upgrade install, not a full install from scratch.
My biggest concern was running Cubase Studio 5, but it seems to work fine. Loaded a few projects and ran them with success. Last fall going from Tiger to Leopard was a pain re: Cubase 4 LE, b/c of the licensing. Now using the dongle, no license issue.
I wasn't going to jump on the Snow Leopard bandwagon this soon, but couldn't resist! My little MacBook appreciated the move from Tiger to Leopard, and ran much snappier. In the short time I've had with SL it seems to have improved even more.
Good luck!

How much time do you get on video on I pad

How much time do you get on video on the IPad 2?

Can't really answer that. It depends on how much storage space you have. A 16Gb iPad will obviously have less space to store a video than a 64GB iPad.
The only limitation is your storage space.
At about 100KB per second you are looking at many many hours even on a 16GB iPad.

How much usage are you getting per charge?

Hello all!
I have heard stories from others about crappy battery life, so I decided to keep track of the last 2 charging periods to see how much usage I was getting per charge.
So far, I have had over 9 hours usage and over 2 days standby time on each of the last 2 charges. Probably 25% talk and 75% internet, email, iPod.
How is your battery doing?

I had to reset my phone, because it shut off as I ran the ipod and left wifi on in my leather case and the unit decided to "chill" literally. Everything was back on 10 minutes later. That being said, with no meter to look at,
Today I made at least 20-25 phone calls, the longest about 15 minutes. I left my bluetooth on all day, with wifi on probably 5-6 hours. Throw in a good 2 hours of IPOD usage and about 20-30 minutes at diferrent times showing of the iphone to a couple vendors and a customer. My phone was in use for 12 hours(what I would consider pretty heavy usage) and I recharged this evening in about 3 hours.
I am pretty pleased with the battery time. Tonight a recharged the battery and had the little space left. After reading another post I unplugged the cord from the AC adapter and plugged into my macbook and synced it and I now have the green glow everyone is so eager to see.

How much usuage do you get with AT&T with the $25 plan?

Just used all our AT&T usuage plan in 6 days so now have converted to the larger plan. Don't know how much usuage we would get with 2GB. Thank you. Does anyone know and any tips on using it?

Primarily, do not stream! No (constant) Youtube, no Pandora, no Spotify, no Netflix. A few minutes here and there are fine, but if you're listening to Pandora all day at work everyday, that is likely why you burned through your data. Use streaming only on Wi-Fi.
Most often recommended: turn off cellular. Use Wi-Fi as often as you can, then turn on celluar manually only when necessary. This will prevent accidentally using up your data with things like your email client getting new mail continuously, but for some reason, you get disconnected from Wi-Fi. This is what I do and while it sounds inconvinient, for me it's better to not have to worry about using data accidentally.
To illustrate, I stream from a radio station for about two hours a day, five days a week, during my commute (on the road so no Wi-Fi, and poor FM reception) and I end up using around 700MB a month. That is audio only, so if I were using a video streaming app like StreamToMe, I can imagine easily using 20+GB per month with my usage habits.

How much space do i get on Apple iPod Touch 4g 8gb?

How much data did you use on day #1?

Just to get some perspective on how much people are using....
How much have you used so far?
What have you been doing to use data? Downloading apps, surfing the 'net, YouTube, hotspot, facetime, etc...
I've used approximately 1.2mb: 360kb sent, 917kb received. I pre-loaded my apps in iTunes, so this was mostly web surfing & using apps. This was since about noon yesterday.

I do use Pandora a ton on my iPad with wifi so I see what you mean when using it on 3G... I guess you have a point... Certain Apps will drain data... Just maybe the everyday internet browser consumer would be ok though
a lot of people would be ok. the problem that the carriers run in to are the average user that doesn't even know how to check the data usage. they have their email, facebook, weather, etc, etc constantly syncing and then download a movie or something....and before they know it they are at 3 gigs and storm into the store, irate, when they see their overage fees....lol

How can I know how much space did i use on my hard drive or hard disk?

where do i see information about my hard drive or hard disk?

Not to be picky, but just in case your not sure what Axel Foley means by right click it is holding control and click. He must have spent too much time on the other side of the window

When I buy a 16gb iPad air, how much space do I actually have after pre-installed apps? Can any of those be deleted?

How much space do you get on a ipad air 16gb considering the pre-installed apps? Can any of those be removed to free up space?

With iOS 7 it is recommended that you have 15-20% of the storage space on the device free.
For a 16 GB device that is 2.4 - 3.2 GB free. So 13 minus 3= 10 GB of storage for music, photos, movies and documents.

How much space to partition off?

Okay so I got VMWare and Windows off my Mac and am setting it back up via Boot Camp. But how much space do you think I should partition off? I'm going to be gaming and the one game by itself takes up about 3GB. I have one or two more I'd like to put on and sometimes I like to try new things so I might add something else. I'll also be putting on Norton and Office and maybe Yahoo! Instant Messenger so I can talk to people while I'm on Windows.
If I put 75GB on Windows, that leaves me with 222GB on the Mac side with 186GB of that being free. Is that overkill or should I bump it up to 100GB and leave 197GB for the Mac side with 161GB free?

If you later want to install Windows 7 or something you want to use NTFS; you want room for restore points, temp files and such.
I've reached this point but I'm really confused. Someone told me that I could just fall Boot Camp's instructions and I'd be fine so I started but now I'm lost. The first thing that confused me was what Partition to pick. There was Partition1, Partition2, Undefined Partition, and Partition3 (BOOT CAMP) so I clicked the one with Boot Camp in the name.
Then I was asked about this NTFS business and my boyfriend must not have gone through any of this before because he's not sure what it's for. I asked another person online and he said to do NTFS too but said that he's not sure what's coming up next, if I'll be able to do it on my own if I'm not sure what I'm doing. What's got me lost now is how he said that fat32 is outdated or something and when I looked at the screen, it said fat32. But I guess that means I'm formatting it so that it'll be NTFS afterwards?
I don't know if I should continue or not. If I do, does anyone know how much comes after this point? I've already selected Partition3 (BOOT CAMP) and NTFS...is that it? And then I just insert my Mac OS X disc for driver updates? Or will there be more after this? And if there is, should I just quit? >.<
Right now it's saying to press F if I want to format the partition.

After I've heard an audiobook downloaded from the public library, how do I delete it from the Shuffle? When I plug it into my computer, I get a screen showing how much space is left on the Shuffle but no list of files that I can delete. WRA

After I've heard an audiobook downloaded from the public library, how do I delete it from the Shuffle to make room for other audiobooks? When I plug it into my computer, I get a screen showing how much space is left on the Shuffle but no list of files that I can delete. These books, incidentally do not appear in the ITunes screen. WRA

Select the iPod shuffle in the iTunes sidebar (under DEVICES). If this is a current 4th (or 3rd) gen iPod shuffle, you should be able to see the contents of the shuffle by type, intented under the shuffle's name (still in the sidebar). Select Music or Audiobooks (not sure where those items from the library will be listed). The items will be listed to the right, for each category. Find the items, select, and delete.
It's on page 20 of the manual
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPod_shuffle_4thgen_User_Guide.pdf
NOTE: If this is an 1st or 2nd gen iPod shuffle, select the iPod shuffle in the iTunes sidebar (under DEVICES). Over to the right, go to the Contents tab, where the items are listed. Select and delete them from this list.
I find it more convenient to make a playlist in iTunes with things I want to put on the shuffle. I then set up automatic syncing (or use autofill) to have iTunes load the shuffle from that playlist, automatically.

I have an 8gb iPod touch 4g. If I install iOS6 as new device, how much free space would i get after?

I have an 8gb iPod touch 4g. If I install iOS6 as new device, how much free space would i get after?. In iOS 5.1.1, you will get 6.4gb of total free space, how about on iOS6?

Try here:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
Apple will exchange it for a refurbished one for this price.

HT4623 I lost my apps and iTunes after a restore, but it says there isn't enough space on the iPhone 4. How do I know how much space needs to be freed up? I keep deleting photos and videos, but I'm still getting the same message.

I did an iphone 4 software update. It then asked me to do a "restore" in order for me to be able to use the latest iTunes. I did a "restore" to "factory settings" (this was the only option listed) thinking I'd be able to sync later and get everything back and ended up losing all my purchased apps and iTunes. When I open iTunes, "Welcome to your new iphone" and it says I can re-do the "restore" and choose my lastest update. I assume this will give me back my apps and iTunes. When i choose to do this, it says there isn't enough space on the iPhone. How do I know how much space needs to be freed up? I keep deleting photos and videos from the phone, but I'm still getting the same message every time I re-try. I don't want to delete everything, but I don't know what to do...? Thanks!

Thanks but I think it has something to do with the 'restore'. in the newest iTunes 11, when I click on the tab "iphone", it redirects me to the "welcome to your new iphone" page and asks about doing a 'restore'. I already did a 'restore', but it went to the original factory settings and I want to 'restore' to my lastest back up as of April 12. When I choose that option, it says my iphone doesn't have enough space. I don't know how much I need to delete in order to make it work. I've deleted lots, but it only has 4.1 GB available. I'm not sure why this isn't enough to do a 'restore'. I don't want to delete all my photos and videos, but maybe I will have to?...7.7GB is used up for that. I can't sync or do ANYTHING...
