I'm getting different readings for free space

So I'm a little worried. I have an early 2008 MacBook Pro with a 750GB hard drive that I recently put in. I just did a system wipe and restore, and now I'm getting 2 different readings of vastly different amounts for free space. Disk Utility and About My Mac both label it at 433.29 Gigs, but Finder rates it at 590.3 Gigs! I'm fairly certain the About My Mac has the storage space correct. I have turned off mobile Time Machine backups, and I know there's a hidden partition for Recovery, but shouldn't Finder know about this? Disk Utility shows the hard drive as fine. Any other thoughts?

See if this link offer some explanations:

You might download from the Internet OmniDiskSweeper (free) and open it. It will give you a record of all your files and the respective sizes and you can compare that to your MBP stats.

I just bought an iPod touch 4th generation 8GB for $199.99 but then when the iPod touch 5th generation came out, the 4th generation was still $199.99, but for a whole 16GB. Is there a way I can get some sort of free space?

If "just" is less than 14 days, you can return your iPod to Apple for a full refund.

How can I get the amount of free space that is on my drive to show at the bottom of the drive in Lion.

How can I get the amount of free space that is on my drive to show at the bottom of the drive in Lion.
This is a must feature for me and I may have to go back to Snow Leopard.
Please help!

Right click on your desktop and choose "viewer options". Adjust the spacing and the size of your icons and you should be able to see the size of your drive(s) and the free space available on each drive with the exception of your bootcamp drive which will only show the overall size of the drive you have it on. This may be different if you only have one system drive (like on a Mac Book Pro) with a partition containing bootcamp on it. this may only show you the overall capacity, I can't say for sure though as I only use a Mac Pro with 4 seperate Hard Drives which are showing both overall capacity and free space available. Hope this helps

I have just switched from windows and bought myself a new mac mini, only had it a few weeks and already getting message not enough free space. Help, surely cant be out of space already

It sounds unlikely of course. But from your question it's hard to tell what might have filled your HDD. Are you constantly on file sharing or has filled the drive with movies?
Best way to tell is to start checking what folders occupy space. "Get Info" for the HDD and its subfolders is a way to start checking where the data in question resides.
And as BGreg say, call Apple support is also a good way to begin with.

Qry:How to get different price for each price list (variable area) in order

1-How to get different price for each price list (variable area) in order for sale. for the opportunity to display and select multiple prices.
2- I add a location store from a table in line item and I want to see this area in order,.
I 'm created 2 field location(item line and order), 1 table location
I tried this for exemple : select $ [userfieldlocation.OITW]

Thanks Suda for your answer,
the Formatted Search for prices is OK, but for the Item locations in warehouse this is not so simple,
I must have several (at least 2) locations for the item in the Warehouse and a track of this location and search possibilities.
read carefully and imagine how (Management warehouse locations)
I added a user table '@Location' who linked to a user field 'U_Location in Item master data --> lnventory data line and an ather user field 'U_Location' in sales order
I met the value of location in the table (list of locations for any warehouse), I select the location of each item while receiving merchandise in the user field of inventory data line (Item M data) and this value appears in the sales order 'U_Location' user field ( only the location value in the default warehouse for this Item)
or
create an user field 'location' in Good receipt PO to fill it while receiving merchandise that appears in the sales order to give possibility to find/select the location of the item at this order and in Item master data
I think we will use all these tables
@LOCATION
PDN1
OITM
OITW
OWHS
RDR1
Juste a another question : where you found this and What is: ' 38.1.0 '
Is it in document (System information):Item=38 Pane=1 ??
Thanks,

How do I get Mountain Lion for free if I bought my Macbook Pro at the right time?

So I got my Macbook Pro a few weeks ago and I was told I'd be getting Mountain Lion for free. How do I go about this on the app store?

Go to this link and claim your free copy:
http://www.apple.com/ca/osx/uptodate/

I purchased the display version of my mac pro and it had the Pages app. I just reset it to factory settings and the app is no longer on it. Is there a way I can get it back for free?

I purchased the display version of my Macbook Pro at a navy exchange. The woman working at the store did not know how to reset to factory so I took it home as was. I have been using it for about a month and the laptop had Pages and Keynote on it already. I just reset to factory settings and it now has neither. Is there a way to get these back for free? I think my computer purchase makes it eligible to have these apps for free but since I reset it they are gone.

Go to the App Store where you can purchase copies of the apps. You cannot get them for free. The ones installed belonged to the previous owner. You will need to purchase using your Apple ID.

Where can i get an ipad for free?

Where can i get an ipad for free?

Go to a store that offers store credit for refunds. Buy something that costs at least as much as an iPad. Return that item for store credit. Use your store credit to get an iPad.
Or do like everybody else who wants an iPad, and buy one.

Script for Free Space in Datafiles

Hi
Got the below script from metalink [130866.1] to identify free space within a data file.Couple of questions
1)Is dba_Free_Space an exact indicator of how much space is available in a file.
2) What is the significance of using blocks in vs using bytes.
cursor c_freespace(v_file_id in number) is
select block_id, block_id+blocks max_block
from dba_free_space
where file_id = v_file_id
order by block_id desc;
Thanks in advance for you help.

The bottom part of the screen is like bright it looks all weird i cant see annything in that part my ipod still has the 1 year warranty do u guys think i can get it fix for free or would i have to pay?

Try the following:
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. If you iPod is defective, within warranty and not abused, Apple will exchange it at no cost.

i had photoshop elements on my laptop but had to uninstall it how do i get it back for free?

You use your original install media. If you have PSE 11 you can download the trial and enter your serial number into that. For recent older versions, if you bought a download from adobe, if you go to the main page of adobe.com and click on My Adobe, you may still have a download link there. If your laptop came with PSE pre-installed, check your recovery partition to see if there's an installer there.

I accidently deleted iphoto; how do I get it back for free?

I accidently deleted iphoto; how do I get it back for free?

To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.
