Time Machine: How can I find the size of each individual backup?

When I look in the Time Machine external hard drive under Backups.backupdb, I see all of the backups. I also see the total space remaining on the Time Machine. However, I would like to know the size of each individual backup file. Is there a way to get this information? It does not show in the "Get Info" window of the backup.
Thanks

The question is ambiguous, because a snapshot may consist almost entirely of references to other snapshots and thus take up almost no space on the backup volume. There is a shell command that enables you to see how much data was copied from the sources in the last snapshot. An example of how to use it is below.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it:
tmutil compare
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
The command will take at least a few minutes to run. Eventually some lines of output will appear below what you entered.
Each line that begins with a plus sign (“+”) represents a file that has been added to the source volume since the last snapshot was taken. These files have not been backed up yet.
Each line that begins with an exclamation point (“!”) represents a file that has changed on the source volume. These files have been backed up, but not in their present state.
Each line that begins with a minus sign (“-“) represents a file that has been removed from the source volume.
Files that you’ve excluded from backup, or that are excluded automatically, are ignored.
At the end of the output, you’ll get some lines like the following:
Added:
Removed:
Changed:
These lines show the total amount of data added, removed, or changed on the source(s) since the last snapshot.

HELP !!! How can I set the size of each component separately

Please tell me, when adding components (a mix of
labels , buttons etc.) on a container (swing), how can I set the size
of each component separately.
for example:
the code here has a mix of button and a grid that is actually another JPanel. Its a part of a bigger
program. When running the grid is cut (not seen in its full size).
So, please try to anser also about the specific acse of frame contining another frame in it , and the interior should be right sized.
The relevant part of the code:
=========================================
public class Reversi extends JFrame {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Reversi ourGame = new Reversi();
public Reversi() {
super("Grid Reversi");
setSize(new Dimension(300, 300));
setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
Grid g = new Grid(); // the grid was built at another part..
ReversiGame ourGame = new ReversiGame();
JButton b;
JFrame f = new JFrame("Hello Java");
f.setSize(new Dimension(300, 300));
f.setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
Container c = f.getContentPane();
c.add(g,BorderLayout.NORTH );
c.add(b = new JButton("Hola"), BorderLayout.CENTER);
//f.pack();
f.show();

BorderLayout chooses the sizes of each of the components added to it. Choose a different layout manager (or set the placement/size manually with a 'null' layout)

I need to restore my email settings using time machine but can't find the mail.plist in the backups

Hi, i can find my mail.plist by opening library/preferences holding the option key, but I can't replicate this when i'm searching for the same file in time machine. I have somehow deleted my mail settings and am trying to restore using time machine. Any ideas? Thanks

In Finder under Library/Preferences/ i found the following which I think is what you are looking for:
I "highlighted" this file in Finder FIRST, and then leaving Finder Open, I also opened Time Machine and when TM opened, Finder was displayed in it as seen above and I could then select dates going back to Restore this file from just fine.
Hope this helps

Hi Anurag,
You may want to post this query to Machine Vision Board, and then you'll gain the probability of getting good solutions.
I am not allergic to Kudos, in fact I love Kudos.

How Can I Determine the Size of the 'My Documents' Folder for every user on a local machine using VBScript?

Hello,
I am at my wits end into this. Either I am doing it the wrong way or it is not possible.
Let me explain. I need a vb script for the following scenario:
1. The script is to run on multiple Windows 7 machines (32-Bit & 64-Bit alike).
2. These are shared workstation i.e. different users login to these machines from time to time.
3. The objective of this script is to traverse through each User Profile folder and get the size of the 'My Documents' folder within each User Profile folder. This information is to be written to a
.CSV file located at C:\Temp directory on the machine.
4. This script would be pushed to all workstations from SCCM. It would be configured to execute with
System Rights
I tried the script detailed at:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/heyscriptingguy/archive/2005/03/31/how-can-i-determine-the-size-of-the-my-documents-folder.aspx
Const MY_DOCUMENTS = &H5&
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
Set objFolder = objShell.Namespace(MY_DOCUMENTS)
Set objFolderItem = objFolder.Self
strPath = objFolderItem.Path
Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(strPath)
Wscript.Echo objFolder.Size
The Wscript.Echo objFolder.Size command in the script at the above mentioned link returned the value as
'0' (zero) for the current logged on user. Although the actual size was like 30 MB or so.
I then tried the script at:
http://www.experts-exchange.com/Programming/Languages/Visual_Basic/VB_Script/Q_27869829.html
This script returns the correct value but only for the current logged-on user.
Const blnShowErrors = False
' Set up filesystem object for usage
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
' Display desired folder sizes
Wscript.Echo "MyDocuments : " & FormatSize(FindFiles(objFSO.GetFolder(objShell.SpecialFolders("MyDocuments"))))
' Recursively tally the size of all files under a folder
' Protect against folders or files that are not accessible
Function FindFiles(objFolder)
On Error Resume Next
' List files
For Each objFile In objFolder.Files
On Error Resume Next
If Err.Number <> 0 Then ShowError "FindFiles:01", objFolder.Path
On Error Resume Next
FindFiles = FindFiles + objFile.Size
If Err.Number <> 0 Then ShowError "FindFiles:02", objFile.Path
Next
If Err.Number = 0 Then
' Recursively drill down into subfolder
For Each objSubFolder In objFolder.SubFolders
On Error Resume Next
If Err.Number <> 0 Then ShowError "FindFiles:04", objFolder.Path
FindFiles = FindFiles + FindFiles(objSubFolder)
If Err.Number <> 0 Then ShowError "FindFiles:05", objSubFolder.Path
Next
Else
ShowError "FindFiles:03", objFolder.Path
End If
End Function
' Function to format a number into typical size scales
Function FormatSize(iSize)
aLabel = Array("bytes", "KB", "MB", "GB", "TB")
For i = 0 to 4
If iSize > 1024 Then iSize = iSize / 1024 Else Exit For End If
Next
FormatSize = Round(iSize, 2) & " " & aLabel(i)
End Function
Sub ShowError(strLocation, strMessage)
If blnShowErrors Then
WScript.StdErr.WriteLine "==> ERROR at [" & strLocation & "]"
WScript.StdErr.WriteLine " Number:[" & Err.Number & "], Source:[" & Err.Source & "], Desc:[" & Err.Description & "]"
WScript.StdErr.WriteLine " " & strMessage
Err.Clear
End If
End Sub
The only part pending, is to achieve this for the 'My Documents' folder within each User Profile folder.
Is this possible?
Please help.

Here are a bunch of scripts to get folder size under all circumstances. Take your pick.

I have an issue with time machine, it doesn't find the Lacie external driver it use to use. it is the same drive that I usaly use for time machine back ups. It is corectly plugged. What can I do ?

Hi,
I'm trying to back up my macbook with time machine on the Lacie external driver I usualy use for this, but today my computer doesn't find the driver. I haven't done back up in 6 month.
Today, the Lacie driver is pluged and running, but the computer just does'nt find it.
what shall I do ?

Some things to consider:
Is the drive mounted, i.e., visible via Finder and/or on the Desktop?
Is the drive still selected in System Preferences, Time Machine? If not, use the "Select Disk" button.
Is Time Machine still turned on (System Preferences, Time Machine)?
Can you see the drive (and mount it) using Disk Utility (in your Utilities folder)?

How can I find the time a site was accessed in Safari's history?

I know that Safari's "History" list is in reverse order, that is, most recently visited sites at the top of the list. How can I find the time a particular site was visited?

As of Safari 5.1.7 there does not appear to be a way to view the time in the browser, but it is still possbile to find from the raw history file. Open /Users/[yourusername]/library/Safari/History.plist in a text editor. Depending on how your text editor reads the file, you may see a lot of garbled text, but you should still be able to find the URL that you want the time for. After the URL you may see the page's title, but should also see a left square bracket followed by numbers.
Example:
_?http://www.apple.com/_Apple[377832904.6o
The integer is an Apple timestamp (number of seconds since 00:00:00 UTC on 1 January 2001). Find a timestamp calculator online to get the actual time for your timestamp. In the example above, Apple was visited on Dec 21 2012 at 17:35:04 PST.
Cheers.

How can I change the size of the FINDER bar so that I can make it easier to read on the 27 inch monitor.

How can I change the size of the FINDER toolbar so that its eaier to read i.e. make the text bigger.
How can you move the orientaion of the left side menus so that they sit above a document when using word. If you have a single document open you tend to place it in the centre of the screen and the drop down menus are so far away.

I don't know of a way to change the size of the menu bar.
For the other, take a look at Menu Pop. I don't know anything about it. Just happened across it the other day.

Moving adobe 9 standard from 1 machine to another. How can I find the activation code on the old machine to activate on new machine

moving adobe 9 standard from 1 machine to another. How can I find the activation code on the old machine to activate on new machine?

You didn't really clarify much, just repeated the same question. First of all, Adobe is a company with many products.
Are you talking about Adobe Acrobat? If so you need to deactivate it on the old machine and then use enter the serial-number (as described) when installing it on the new machine. It will then activate itself automatically over the internet. Just keep in mind that Acrobat 9 is not compatible with Windows 8 and to make it compatible with Windows 7 you have to update it to at least version 9.2 after the installation.
