ITunes won't show how much space is being taken up on my iPhone?

Hi guys, whenever I plug in my iPhone, and click on it under "Devices", at the very bottom it shows a capacity bar, where it shows you how much space is being taken up by audio, video, pictures, etc. The problem is, I don't know exactly how much space is being taken up! In the past, I could mouseover the bar and it would tell me how much space exactly is being taken up by audio, video, pictures, etc. but now it doesn't. Any way to fix this?
Also, after updating to iOS 7, I'm noticing a teal/blue-green bar in the capacity bar, but it's too small to be labeled so I don't know what it is, does anyone know what that bar represents? It's a bit annoying that iTunes took away the legend for the capacity bar, and doesn't label the smaller bars so that I don't know what they mean :\ Combine that with the fact that it also doesn't tell me how much space is being taken up by each category and it makes the whole system arbitrary.

Anybody?

How much space should I dedicate from my hard drive for Windows?

So I am going to buy a Macbook Pro w/768 GB Flash Storage. I need to run windows on it for Autodesk products for school. Should I install Windows 7 or 8? And how much of my hard drive should I dedicate to it? I will need Revit, Autocad, & Autocad 3D Civil. I would like to have extra space as well for antivirus and any other possible software I may have to install.
This will be my first Mac so I'm kind of lost.

If that turns out not to be sufficient space then you can use CampTune to add more space non-destructively.
I base it on experience. Windows plus your software will likely take up nearly 40 or 50 GBs altogether. Allow another 20 or 30 GBs for data and miscellaneous. This leaves about 20 GBs of extra space.

The HD had to be replaced on my MacBook Air (2009). It already had Lion, after Snow Leopard. Everything is backed up by the Time Capsule. After installing completely Lion anew, how do I transfer my data from TC to MacBook Air? basic, no?

I add: I had to re-install the original DVD (OS X 10.5.8), then upgrades, then snow (OS 10.6.8), then Lion (10.7). Now, I just need the explanation for how to put back my data onto the MacBook Air. Preferrably by ethernet. I did it once by wireless, 30 hours (and caused total blue screen, and total start over). Thanks!

HT2728 How would I transfer my information from my old Macbook Air (2008) to the new one I purchased today?

Today I ordered my new MacBook Air - and am looking for advice on how I might best transfer all the information off my old MacBook Air to the new one. There are not many ports available on the old MacBook Air (2008/9) and of course the new MacBook Air comes with more ports and connectivity.
Appreciate any advice that you can give me.
Many thanks in advance
Ed

Use an external drive with Time Machine or Clone your HD to the external.
When you start the new one, setup manager will ask if you want to migrate from another disk, time machine etc.
This will only require 1 usb port.

How can I transfer Microsoft package from iMac to Macbook air

I hope this is answered ASAP

The easiest way is to use the original install disks, always assuming that your version of whatever application/s you refer to are compatible with Lion.

How can I transfer microsoft office from my old MacBook Air to my new one?

All your data will be transferred if you use Setup Assistant, which starts automatically the first time you boot the new machine. You may need to contact Microsoft to reactivate the product.

How can you tell how much space is taken by checked items?

I have a large iTunes library (over 270 gb) and managed what goes onto my 160 gb iPod using the checked items. It took me a long time to get it right and I would make changes (unchecking items) to accomodate new songs as I loaded them. Somehow recently I managed to lose that information so that now everything is checked and I need to start all over. So two questions:
Is there anyway to "recover" what had been checked/unchecked at a given point in time?
And, what would be most useful, is there anyway to track the amount of space taken by checked items?
As to the last question, currently at the bottom is a status bar that tells you how many items, how much space and how many (days/hours) are taken by the full library. It would be incredibly useful if that status bar also included the same information for checked items. It would make it so much easier to manage the iTunes library content.

As above use playlists. If you really need to recover the checked/unchecked status from earlier in time then I have a script that can be tweaked to do this called ExportImport, as long as earlier in time is the last time your library database got archived into the Previous iTunes Libraries folder. It is currently set up to export and then import playcounts, but adapting it to do Checked would be quite easy.

How to check how much space taken by each account

Could you kindly advise how to check how much space is taken by each account?
Thanks and regards

For more information use a utility such as OmniDiskSweeper or put in a larger hard drive.
Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
1. See Lion's Storage Display.
2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
6. See The Storage Display.
You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.

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.

8GB vs. 16 GB - How Much Space Taken by Default Apps?

I plan to use the Touch mainly for calendar, contacts, task (Data-Wiz) and browsing web and e-mail. Maybe a few songs, but focus is on getting organized through access to above info which will be synced with Outlook 2007 on Windows desktop.
Question - how much space do the default apps take up?
My Outlook pst file is 70 meg.
E-mail is 328 meg, but is the e-mail downloaded to the Touch or just viewed online?
From what I know now, the 8GB Touch seems more than satisfactory in terms of capacity. What are your thoughts?
Thanks.
Mark

i don't think that was the question Mark, but i think the answer is a similar one.
as far as i know the OS software (which is basically all the default apps, and is the same for all available sizes) takes up something like a GB of space, so 7GB out of an 8GB, and presumably 15GB of a 16GB iPod touch is left for the user to put their things on it.
when you add details to it, it obviously takes up more space, but not much. (i'm afraid i'm not sure enough to be more accurate).
really the major consideration for which size to go for, is how much music/podcasts/video you plan to keep on it. most apps only take up a few MB, though there are a few which are much larger.

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...

How much space is used on a new iPhone 6?

I know the iPod Touch right out of the box has space taken up with the pre installed apps and software.
Does anyone know how much of the 32GB is already used when one first buys the phone?
I imagine the same space is already taken up on a 16GB iPhone 6 also?

iOS, the built in apps, and system overhead take about 3 GB. It is slightly more on a 32 GB than on a 16 GB because the storage allocation map is larger, but the difference will not be significant.
There's an artifact of the way that memory is calculated that will make the storage shown on the phone itself look smaller than it actually is; this is the difference between the 16GB rating which is expressed in decimal, and the storage on the phone, which is measured in binary where 1 KB is 1024 bytes rather than 1,000 bytes. See: How OS X and iOS report storage capacity - Apple Support for an explanation of this difference.
