  • How do I find how much space specific documents, applications, music files, etc. are taking up on my hard drive?

    I checked out my hard drive and found it is getting rather full.  Disk Utilities gives me an overall picture of how much disk space is being used and how much remains, but I'd like to find out which individual files may be hogging space.  The Finder window doesn't give that individual information.  I can find out how much space each item takes by clicking info on each, but there must be a more efficient way of finding this information simply by clicking on folders.

    Not free but this is one option.

  • How do I find out how much of my hard drive space is used up

    I have a Mac OS X Version 10.7.5. Processor 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo; Memory 2 GB 1067 MHz DDR3. Computer is running very slow. I cleared downloads and reset Safari, emptied trash, etc. How  can I find out how much space I have left on my hard drive?

    As you appear to have at least OS 10.7 installed, you can simply highlight your hard drive and press the SPACE bar to get this:

  • Is there any application or plug in that anyone knows of that could tell me how much free hard drive space i have left on my mac? Thanks so much. . .

    I'm looking for an application or plug in that can tell me how much free space I have available on my hard drive left for my MacBook Air, thanks so much!

    ***Correction***
    The other way to do this is to choose About this Mac under the Apple menu.  When the window appears, click on More Info, and then choose Storage from the selection of tabs at the top.

  • How do I see a detailed view of what's on my hard drive and how much space it's consuming?

    I have an early 2007 iMac (3GB RAM) and a 320 GB hard drive.  I'm trying to clear some of the programs and files I don't need to free up space, but I'm not sure how to get a similar look at my files and how much space they take up individually (as I would with a PC).  Under system info I'm able to get the high-level overview, but how do I see a detailed view that I can then edit?

    Thanks for your help.  I did just that and was able to get a much better view with OmniDiskSweeper.  I was shocked to find that my MobileSync files were 125 GB of about 270 being used!  Guess I shouldn't be surprised with 4 iPhones and 4 iPads syncing to the same iMac at one time or another -- just kind of surprised Apple/iTunes doesn't make it any clearer that this can turn into a big problem if you don't initially create the appropriate backup settings for your devices.  Thanks again!

  • 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 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.
