Is it possible to view external hardrive space in GB instead of TB

Hi,
Is there a way of checking external harddrive space in GB instead of TB ?
Finder says "1.6TB available" on the bottom bar. Is there a preference when changed could make it say "1600GB available" ?
Thanks !

One GB is a very huge file. First of all check ur XI hardware configuration.
1. U may write ur adapter module to zip the message.
2. It wont affect the performance much if the file size is 1 GB. Also u cant stop adapter engine (File Adapter) and the Integration Engine in ur scenario
3. U can do the load testing on XI using load runner
Regards,
Prateek

I need advice: I love my apple TV. But my laptop at home, only has a 750gig hard drive. Is there a possibility of having all my media on an external hardrive to still connect to the Apple TV?

Is there like in a hard drive of which iTunes can read the media, which will not require me to add and delete media onto iTunes, because of a lack of space on my laptop?

just get an ext HD, and point your itunes library to that drive so now you'll just keep all your media on this ext

Can I Keep My iTunes Videos On External Hardrive To keep Space Free ?

HELLO ALL........i currently use a g4 powerbook running osx and ilife 06. i have converted several videos for use on my iPod and as a result my harddrive is getting a little crowded. i have a external hardrive which i use only for storage and very rarely connect to the powerbook. i use my mac regularly for listening to music but never watch the videos on it (only through my ipod)
i would like to know if there is a way i could make the"video" library from itunes be located on my external drive but keep all my music in its normal location so i can use regularly without having to connect the external drive.....
hope you can help me, thanks in advance

sorry to inform u that it wont be possible..music and
videos are stored in the same location......but try
this out. when u got preferences go to advanced
option..over there u will find an option that would
say "copy files to itunes music folder while adding
to library".. uncheck that option......but before u
do that transfer all the videos from itunes lib to ur
hardisk...then delete those videos from the library.
then uncheck that option and add those videos to
itunes...this time videos will not get added to the
itunes library but it will be there in the hardisk...
but remember later what ever u add to the itunes from
an external source will not be added in the lib
either..
i hope u understand what ever i said
assembled amd Windows XP Pro
hi there, thanks for this tip. yes- i understand this information and it has worked and done what i intended to do. thanks for your time in helping me. thanks

Scratch disk - La Cie external hardrive - missing Gb space

I was capturing footage from dv to my external hardrive in final cut express. I had about 120Gb (over 600mins). Computer crashed. When tried to capture again, computer says only have 2Gb remaining (17mins of download time). I went to system preferences - scratch disks, where the internal HD and the la Cie external HD are marked as having only 2Gb left. I know this is not true.
How can I reset the computer to get back my unused 120Gb on the external HD which does not now appear on the scratch disk?

Hi Gary.
I can't say what has happened to the space but if you download WhatSize and run it for a couple of minutes or so, it will list every file on your HD starting with the largest.
That might give you some idea of what is taking up the space:-

Also try Trashing the Preferences and reset the Scratch Disks.

Drag and Drop Files Onto Seagate External Hardrive

I can't seem to just drag and drop files I want to store on an external hardrive with Seagate. I hate that. I just want a simple drag and drop so I can free up some space on my computer. But Seagate just seems to just seems to say **** you, we're gonna do it backwards ***. Can someone please explain how to just drag and drop files? I have zero idea, and they don't make it simple to understand.
So for the love of god....please explain it to me (without use of computer terminology or telling me places I should go on my computer that I don't know what the **** they are. Renders your help useless, and it's frustrating because no matter how many times I ask this, you just give me help i can't understand anyway.)
Please....it's not hard to ask.
If possible, use step by step instructions, if you need to tell me to go somewhere on my computer, tell me where that is too so I know where to go. Don't be vague, I can't understand vague instructions when i read them.

What is the drive formatted as? this is extremely likely the issue.
FORMAT TYPES
FAT32 (File Allocation Table)
Read/Write FAT32 from both native Windows and native Mac OS X.
Maximum file size: 4GB.
Maximum volume size: 2TB
You can use this format if you share the drive between Mac OS X and Windows computers and have no files larger than 4GB.
NTFS (Windows NT File System)
Read/Write NTFS from native Windows.
Read only NTFS from native Mac OS X
To Read/Write/Format NTFS from Mac OS X, here are some alternatives:
For Mac OS X 10.4 or later (32 or 64-bit), install Paragon (approx $20) (Best Choice for Lion)
Native NTFS support can be enabled in Snow Leopard and Lion, but is not advisable, due to instability.
AirPort Extreme (802.11n) and Time Capsule do not support NTFS
Maximum file size: 16 TB
Maximum volume size: 256TB
You can use this format if you routinely share a drive with multiple Windows systems.
HFS+ ((((MAC FORMAT)))) (Hierarchical File System, a.k.a. Mac OS Extended (Journaled) Don't use case-sensitive)
Read/Write HFS+ from native Mac OS X
Required for Time Machine or Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper! backups of Mac internal hard drive.
To Read HFS+ (but not Write) from Windows, Install HFSExplorer
Maximum file size: 8EiB
Maximum volume size: 8EiB
You can use this format if you only use the drive with Mac OS X, or use it for backups of your Mac OS X internal drive, or if you only share it with one Windows PC (with MacDrive installed on the PC)
EXFAT (FAT64)
Supported in Mac OS X only in 10.6.5 or later.
Not all Windows versions support exFAT.
exFAT (Extended File Allocation Table)
AirPort Extreme (802.11n) and Time Capsule do not support exFAT
Maximum file size: 16 EiB
Maximum volume size: 64 ZiB
You can use this format if it is supported by all computers with which you intend to share the drive. See "disadvantages" for details.

Stream music from an external hardrive to my Apple TV?

Hey guys,
I've just bought Apple TV and I want to know if it's possible to stream music that I haven an external hardrive through iTunes without having to copy the files onto the internal drive of my MacBook pro . My idea is to have all my media on an external 1T hardrive and stream everything through Apple TV using homeshare therefore freeing up all the internal space.
Also if this is possible, how can I do it?
Thanks in advance!!

Yes doing that puts all your content on the external drive.
You can put content onto more than one drive. You can do it in a few ways.
You can put certain content on one drive and other content on another, but this requires managing manually and can be a bit of a pain.
You can also just start using a second drive when the first drive gets about 90% full (never fill a drive).
Or you can use disk utility to RAID a couple of drives as a single volume.

Putting iTunes Music Onto External Hardrive

Hi guys,
Just wondering if someone can help answear my question hopefully or give me some help
I have a macbook air and currently have all my itunes music stored onto the mac internal hard drive. However, I recently bought an external hard drive and was wondering, If i can or if its possible?? If I move all the music from my mac onto my external hardrive, would the music still play or be rejistered in my iTunes library because my iphone is on auto sync for music with itunes.
I know that once I draged and dropped a music clip straight from my external into itunes and it still played, registered even when i didnt have my external plugged in and also didnt have a copy of it on my mac at all. Just wondering if its the same for music???
Cheers,
Thomas

Awesome thank you Niel.
It's just copying over to my external now. Afterwards can I delete the itunes music folder off my mac cause i need to free up a lot of space. If i do this after opening itunes with holding the option key down and click chose library which will be from my external. Then will all itunes music still work even when I dont have the external plugged in

External hardrive not workon on MacBook Pro

I own a Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex that is 1TB and have had it for about 3 or 4 years. I used to be able to plug it in and with ease insert files (pictures, music, documents, etc .. basically everything in case my MacBook stops functioning.)
Back in May, I took my external hardrive to my University before I graduated and I could not insert some video files (using another computer, which was a Mac.) Our school's tech expert said it was because my external hardrive is not applicable with Macs. Long story short, I showed him I can do it on my MacBook Pro, then I had to save my video files on a flash drive instead. Anyway.
I want to back up everything incase the MacBook stops working soon (it's six years old.) However, when I put in my external hardrive, I can't change the name of files/folders in the external hardrive nor can I insert anything into the hardrive. Oddly enough, I can drag stuff into my desktop and it will copy a file into my desktop while the same file still stays on my hardrive.
My MacBook Pro is Version 10.9.5 (if it matters) and I have more than 90 GB of free space on my MacBook and have nearly 700 GB of free space on my external hardrive and obviously I'd like to use that. Also, I'd like to use my external hardrive not just on Macs, but all machines in case I need to save large files. I used to be able to do this at one point, especially with a previously owned hardrive (it was Western Digital.)
Anyway, that's all the info. All help would be greatly appreciated.

I meant to also say that your school's tech expert does not appear to be much of an expert.

Hey everyone! i have a external hardrive i keep my itunes library of songs on and it wont sync with my ipod touch inless i copy and paste it into my ipod device when thats conected. i dont want all the songs on there only checked ones. help plz!!

im having trouble with syncing my ipod touch with my itunes library that i keep on a external hardrive. when i plug up my external hardrive that has all my songs on it, it doesn't sync to my ipod correctly. i have to copy and paste the songs to my ipod device when its connected. i dont want all the songs on there and i want to be able to manually control whats on my ipod. and id like to take some songs off of the ipod also but i want them still in my itunes library though. i usually check the songs i want on the ipod but it isnt working that way maybe because its a external hardrive?? i never had a problem with past ipods with my library on itunes but i ran out of space on my computer and had to transfer all of the songs to my external hardrive. please someone help me!! i thought it would be simple! but it isnt the case! i plug up my hardrive then my ipod, i press sync and nothing gets transfered unless i copy and paste them to the ipod. even though it says ipod syncing in progress! this is really confusing! please help me!! sorry if this is jumbled up and confusing..

Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
As IO said before:
You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
I do not think it included audio books.

External hardrive to use with Imac - how to format and to what?

i have my external hardrive i use with my pc
how and to what should i format it so i can use ut with leopard and timemachine, also is it possible to make 2 partiton on it so one partition
would still be windows format so i can backup windows on it too?

If you have an Intel Mac do this:
Extended Hard Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to two and resize as desired using the sizing gadget. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (only required for Intel Macs) then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the PC volume you just created (this is a sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window. Set the format type to MSDOS (FAT32) from the Format drop down menu. Click on the Erase button.
5. Select the OS X volume you just created (this is the other sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
You should now be able to use the drive on both platforms. One partition for OS X and the other for Windows.

Can't update iphone as not enough memeory on computer. Have tried to move itunes to an external hardrive and I thinm it has moved and clicked on the Itunes folder from the external but still says not enough memory..help

Our computer is REALLY low on memory...we will get a new one at some point but can't at the moment.
Upgraded to the new iphone 4s and bought an external hardrive so I could move my Itunes library to that, so I could update iphone/itunes (isn't enough memeory on PC to do this)
I read that I need to consolidate my itunes first but again when I tried to do this it said not enough computer memory.
Anyway I tried to move the itunes folder over to hardrive and then it looked like it had worked. Clicked on itunes via the external and it opened ituens up..brilliant I thought!Backed my old iphone up and then clicked update...then a m,essage came up saying not enough memeory on comouter to update.
Is this because i need to delete itunes off the computer?
Am worried in case it isn't on the hard drive correctly and will lose everything!

You would be better off to go through and uninstall programs you no longer need or use and move your data over to the external drive, at least temporarily. The iOS update file will be somewhere around 700MB. If your system has less than 20% free disk space, you're pushing the limits even without trying to download something that large and back up your phone so the update can process. If you're running less than 10% disk space you've entered dangerous waters no matter what you're doing.
This really isn't iPhone related and we can't advise you as to what data and applications you can move or delete. You will have to make that determination yourself or get a friend or family member to help.
If you do not have a current backup of your computer system, you need to make one. NOW!

Can I install boot camp on my computer, but install all my PC games for it on an external hardrive?

I have a new Mac, but I want to install boot camp on it. However, I would only really be using it for gaming.
On another post, someone said that you could not install boot camp entirely onto an external hardrive. As boot camp would only be for gaming, then could I install all my games (when I'm given the option to chose the file of where to install) onto an external drive which is correctly formatted? (what is the format too?)
Thank you

Thunderbolt storage is a great idea. OS X can run off one and yes you can create an NTFS drive or partition.
One person I thought said Tb was possible but may have taken a system image restore to get there, only one, and not 'documented' to say how to.

Is it possible to view images at 50 and 25 percent in Bridge CS5?

Hi,
With Space-bar or keying Ctrl-L it is possible to view a larger (total) image. But at which size?
An additional mouse-click will reveal 100 percent (actural pixels), and you are offered to scroll to 200, 400 and 800 percent.
But what about 50 and 25 percent? Unfortunately it's not possible to go below the default view (or the screen-size view, if chosen) - as far as I can see.
As the default (total) views are often blurred (representing un-even percentages), a scroll-down option to 50 and 25 percent would be an obvious feature.
Is this possible? I would love to hear about a solution to this problem.
Br. Eigil

It's a shame that this in not possible.
To me keywords are useless if this is not possible.
The only way you can do that is using the search function and that is a really bad workflow - too slow and not flexible at all.
This is a really needed function.
Does someone know a programm that can do that?

HT1178 Time Capsule used as External Hardrive Backup

If I want to use a Time Capsule as an external hardrive backup for my MacBook Pro, how do I do it?
What cords do I need and can I get it to back up wirelessly? I don't want my own wireless from it,
because we already have it in the house - I just want my own storage unit and I have one, but no
cords to go with it. Need to get cords - which ones?

This is out of my area of expertise, but I believe you can set the Time Capsule up so it doesn't generate a network, but is on the existing network.
Then you can back up to it wirelessly.
You should still do the first backup via an Ethernet cable if at all possible, as it will be 2-3 times faster than WIFI, but then backups can be done without having to connect the cable.
