IBook need a diet. How to find biggest files/folders?

Hi -- this may seem like a silly question, but is there a way to search for the largest files/folders on my iBook (latest version of Tiger)? I'd like to find the offending bloat and get rid of it.
A couple of weeks ago, I had 20GB left, now I've got 14GB, and I don't know what I've done to get there. I've done the "get info" thing on various folders, but haven't found any that are particularly bloated.
Is there an app (preferably freeware, natch.) that can search for apps/files/folders by size? Or is this a capability that's already in Tiger?
Thanks!

You can also use Terminal to find big directories.
The following command finds the top-10 directories:
du -S | sort -nr | head
Please note that I am using the fink version of du.

  • I lost my ipod at the arena todat and I need to know how to find it ! thanks .

    I lost my ipod touch today at the arena and i need to know how to find it ! thanks

    Keep looking.
    Change your iTunes (Apple ID) password along with any other password that was stored in the iPod.  If any passwords are associated with credit cards, contact the CC company and get your card replaced (with a new number).  If any passwords are associated with your bank or any savings institution, contact them also and discuss approprate action with them.
    The "Find my..." function is pretty much useless if the device is in the hands of a thief.  All that is necessary is for the thief to connect to any computer with iTunes and "Restore as new."
    The only real protection you have is with the personal information on the device rather than the physical device itself.  Something as small as an iPod should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries.

  • Muse Accordion widgit, I need to know how I find the  (Open Closed )  link it seems to have vanished

    Muse Accordion widgit, I need to know how I find the  (Open Closed )  link it seems to have vanished all I can find is ( Expand  behavior and Overlap Items Below.)

    If I got your query right, do you mean you don't have all the options in the Accordion Options panel as pictured below?
    If the above is true, can you try re-inserting the Accordion panel and check if the options then become available for you. Also, please check if you're running the latest version of Muse i.e. 4.1.8 as on today.
    If the problem persists, please try creating a new Muse project and see if you are able to replicate the behaviour on a fresh Muse site as well.
    Thanks,

    I really need to know how to find out when a friend request was sent. if anyone knows please tell me

    Btw.   The original purchase information on your app is available in your computer, in your iTunes account.
    Click apps and find the app you are looking for.
    Right click on the app and "get info"
    This will show when it was purchased and under what Apple ID.

  • How to find the File name using the FTP Adapter

    hi all,
    how to find the File name using the FTP Adapter with BPEL.
    Regards

    Found the solution for this.
    First In the mediator's routing rule use assign property $in.property.jca.file.FileName to $out.property.jca.file.FileName
    In the BPEL's receive activity go to the properties tab and get the property to a BPEL variable. That should do it.

  • Question about how javac finds referenced files.

    Hi
    I am just beginning to learn Java and have got some questions related to packages.
    I have two classes:
    MyClass.java
    package pkg;
    public class MyClass {
         public void prn(int x){
         System.out.println("Integer: "+x);
    Test.java
    import pkg.*;
    public class Test{
         public static void main(String[] args){
              MyClass obj=new MyClass();
              obj.prn(2);
    Directory structure
    /root/ jprog/MyClass.java
    /root/ jprog/Test.java
    Executing the following sequence of commands gives me:
    # ls
    MyClass.java Test.java
    # javac -d . MyClass.java
    # ls
    MyClass.java Test.java pkg/
    # cd pkg
    # ls
    MyClass.class -----compiles.
    # cd ..
    # javac Test.java
    Test.java:5: cannot access MyClass
    bad class file: ./MyClass.java
    file does not contain class MyClass
    Please remove or make sure it appears in the correct subdirectory of the classpath.
    MyClass obj=new MyClass();
    ^
    1 error
    Now after reading another thread on this forum I came to know that the compiler finds the
    MyClass.java in the wrong package. Using verbose option with javac shows this.
    So I move it to some other directory and everything works.
    # mv MyClass.java /root
    # ls
    Test.java pkg/
    # javac Test.java
    # java Test
    Integer: 2
    Now the question begins:
    Suppose we go back to how the files were arranged before I moved the MyClass.java file and
    I change the Test.java file by adding
    package pkg2;
    statement to it.
    Now everything compiles
    # ls
    MyClass.java Test.java ---I have deleted pkg and .class files
    # cat Test.java
    package pkg2;
    import pkg.*;
    public class Test{
    public static void main(String[] args){
    MyClass obj=new MyClass();
    obj.prn(2);
    # cat MyClass.java
    package pkg;
    public class MyClass {
    public void prn(int x){
    System.out.println("Integer: "+x);
    # javac -d . MyClass.java
    # javac -d . Test.java
    # ls
    MyClass.java Test.java pkg/ pkg2/
    # java pkg2.Test
    Integer: 2
    Why isn't the MyClass.java file causing any problems now?
    Using the verbose option with javac shows that the compiler goes straight for the pkg/MyClass.class.
    My readings of Core Java Horstmann tell me that the compiler always looks in the current directory. javac documentation also doesn't help. I know that the documentation recommends that the source file locations should match the package statements.
    I'm just trying to learn how javac finds referenced files.
    Any help??
    Thanks a load in advance.

    I know that the
    documentation recommends that the source file
    locations should match the package statements.This is not merely a recommendation, it is a requirement.
    Both javac and java find classes by traversing the classpath. The classpath should contain directories (or jar files) that correspond to the top of a (part of the) package hierarchy.
    For example, if the Java code for your class is in a file C:\src\pkg\MyClass.java, and MyClass.java declares the class to be in package pkg, the classpath should contain C:\src. Classes are then found by transforming their package declaration into a directory structure.
    Please note that javac works on files, not classes. Therefore it is necessary to specify the full filenames of the files you want to compile, even if you have specified the classpath. By default, javac will put compiled class files in the same location as their sources, so the classpath for the java command should also contain C:\src.
    The exception to the rule is when all classes for the program are in the default package (i.e., they do NOT contain a package statement). In that case, it is possible for javac (and I believe java as well) to find all classes in the current directory, so it will "just work".
    You can specify the classpath using the -cp parameter to both javac and java.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to find .pld files version in Oracle apps

    Hi,
    How to find .pld file version in Oracle apps using unix command or any other way.
    Regards

    Connect to the forms server.
    In the $AU_TOP/resource directory run the following...
    strings -a <NAMEOFFILE>.plx | grep '$Header'
    For example...
    To find the .pld version of INVAMCAP.plx I would run this on the forms server.
    cd $AU_TOP/resource

    How to find the file that delete from time capsule?

    I mean I saved JPEG file in Time capsule and unfortunately delete the file. Can I get it back
    IF.... .no other backups have occured since you deleted the file, you might be able to retrieve it using an application like Disk Warrior. It's about $100 as I recall, and there are no guarantees that it will work.
    DiskWarrior 4 - The Disk Utility for Mac  Disk Repair, Mac Directory ...
    Any of the free or low priced utilities that you might see or try will not be able to retrieve a deleted file from a Time Capsule.
    If any backups have occured since you deleted the file, the deleted file has almost certainly been overwritten. No way to retrieve it in that case.

  • How do I zip file folders to send to Windows users? They can never open!

    How do I zip file folders to send to PC users, they always have problems and can't open.

    Are you trying to use one of the stuffit formats (like .sitx as you said) or do you actually want to make a .zip file which would be more logical if you are giving it to a windows user (unless they too have stuffit to stuffit expander of course)?
    If you do a search for "zip" at macupdate.com you will find a whole bunch of zip tools, some of which advertise they make windows compatible zip files.  For example BetterZip and WinZip Mac Edition can make windows-compatible zip files.
    As I initially mentioned if you have stuffit and the windows receiver has stuffit (or stuffit expander) I don't know why there would be a problem creating a stuffit file on a mac and expanding it on windows (ignoring any possible problems introduced in the method of transmission).

  • Need to know how to find out the Variant associated with a background job

    Hello,
    Plz help me in finding out how to find the variant associated with a background job. I need to know which variant does the program picks up when it runs the scheduled background job. There are so many variants that exist. How do I figure out which one is being picked up by the program. When I go and see into the job that are already finished it shows the parameter as "&00000000645354" which I do not understand what it corresponds to. I was expecting a variant name instead of this number in the parameter field. Is there a way I can find out the name of teh variant the program is using automatically in the background job ??
    Thanks in anticipation

    Yes it is possible which is variant, input fields are choosen
    - go to SM37 and locate the background job which was processed using proper selection criteria
    - select the Job and click on 'Step' button availabe in the screen
    - the new screen is 'step list overview'. now, place the cursor on selected variant avaialble on the screen, then from Menu >> Goto>> variant
    which gives the list of input values.
    hope this helps
    Thanks

  • I think one of my friends has stole my ipod and i need to know how to find it

    I really need.to find my ipod i beleve one of my friends has stole it

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.

  • Need to know how to find the last execution time for a function module

    HI all
    I need to know

      say for eg. I have executed a func. module at 1:39pm. How to retrieve this time  (1:39pm)
    2) I have created 3 billing document in tcode VF01 i.e 3 billing doucment no. would be created in SAP TABLE "VBRP" b/w 12am to 12:30 am.
    How to capture the latest SAP database update b/w time intervals?
    3) Suppose I am downloading TXT file using "GUI_DOWNLOAD" and say in 20th record some error has happened. I can capture the error using the exception.
    Is it possible to run the program once again from 21st records ? All this will be running in background...
    Kindly clarify....
    Points will be rewarded
    Thanks in advance

    1.Use tcode STAT input as Tcode of Fm and execute .
    2. See the billing documents are created in table VBRk header and there will always be Creation date and time.
    VBRk-Erdat "date ., u can check the time field also
    So now if u talk the date and time we can filter then display the records in intervals.
    3. with an error exeption how is my txt download finished .
