What happened to "calculate all sizes"?

I'd like Finder to calculate folder sizes in a list view. When I went to View/View Options menu, the "calculate all sizes" option wasn't there. Is this a change with OS 10.4.4?
iBook G4 1.42Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.4)

No change--it should be there. It should be there, down at the bottom with the Use Relative Dates option. You could try opening a Finder window, open the View Options window, then hit Command-1, Command-3 and finally Command-2 to get back to list view. If there is still no sign of Calculate Sizes you could try removing
"/Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist"
and then restart. Also try logging into a test account and see it that account is working correctly.

Get Info versus Calculate All Sizes

When I go to Finder > View Options and set Calculate All Sizes to "on" for all windows, the GB Free is posted under the hard drive icon (e.g. 94.04 GB, 24.45 GB free). If that value changes for any reason (download of files, whatever), it doesn't immediately update the values under the icon. If I do a Get Info, however, it has updated immediately.
Is there a way to force Get Info and Calculate to remain in synchronization?

The option to show the info has been moved to the "View Options". Open your drive in the Finder in Grid View and then select "VIew-> Show View Options". Check the Button
"Show Item Info".
That should do the trick.

that option does not display the HD sizes so its useless when copying between drives, no way to determing how much space is left with out loking for a new window which is backwards,

"Calculate all sizes" checkbox not working in Lion

Even when I have checked "Calculate all sizes" in View options, Lion does not show the sizes of many files and folders. The size information is also missing when I do a command-I. Has anyone figured out how to make Lion show file sizes?

On my Lion install (10.7.1), I don't see that checkbox at all in the view options window. Anybody know why?
EDIT: Oops, I just realized that checkbox (and several others) are only visible in list view, not column view.

View Options - Calculate All Sizes

For some reason, I am not getting any sizes for folders inside one particular folder even though I have calculate all sizes checked. It is not a speed issue. It works on other folders, but I have one folder that it just fails in.
If I create a totally new folder in another area I get sizes. If I add folders and drag items into these new folders I get sizes. If I drag folders from the non-calculating folder into the correctly working folder the newly added folder still does not calculate. But if I copy the contents of the non-calculating folders into newly created folder then it does calculate the sizes.
Also, if I copy the contents out of a non-calculating folder into a new folder and then copy them back, the folder starts calculating the size. So that is my workaround.
One note, all the folders that are not calculating were copied from a network drive (Novell network).
Just a very odd bug.
Not sure how to report this bug. Any suggestions?

The funny thing is that I have an empty folder which size is impossible to calculate, either by the "calculate all sizes" in the view option or by the Infos window for that folder.
That might be a problem with old folders created in Tiger or before. For example, no way to get the size of any Adobe CS3 folder, but each document or folder size inside each InDesign or Photoshop folder is listed adequately. Stragely, the Illustrator folder works fine !
So, I've done a little experiment. I've created a new folder named "Adobe ind" and put all the content of the "Adobe InDesign" folder. The size came intantly... Than, I've put all the document back in the old folder and everything is OK.
Tedious job, but it works,
I bought my first Macintosh, a Mac 128 Kb, in August 1984 (the 6th one sold in Switzerland). I must say Leopard is really fantastic. The best one since Mac OS 1.0.

Calculate all sizes not saving

I clicked View>Show View Options in Finder, and clicked "calculate all sizes"
However, when I restart, the option comes unchecked.
Any way to force it to save this?
Thanks!

The problem seems to have resolved itself.
I don't know how, or why, but it did.

Why is "calculate all sizes" box greyed out?

I am trying to manage THREE iPhoto libraries (want to consolidate two of them because I think there are dupications) on an external drive.
First step, I'd like to see how much space each of my folders on this disk takes up.
I was told, go to Finder screen, choose view options and click the "calculate all sizes" box.
Mine is greyed out, unavailable. Why?

That was the problem, thank you!

Noob question. Partition 45gb what happened to it all?

I apologize if this has been answered before but I couldn't find it in the search. Using newest model MacBook with pre-installed Leopard, installed WinXP SP2 without a hitch using 45gb partition for windows side (NTFS obviously). Problem is that in the C drive in the Windows side, only 5.85 capacity and it is nearly reached. What might have happened to all of the rest of the 45gb and is there a way to allocate it to drive C?
Thanks in advance to the resident genius who can guide me through this!

did anything stuff up during partitioning the drive?
have you installed the mac dvd drivers?
if nothing out of the ordinary has occured, and you don't mind a tedious approach, try removing the partition with bootcamp assistant, and then redo-ing the process again. See if the same thing happens.

What happened to Update All Apps???

I can no longer select UPDATE ALL apps on my iPhone. For some insane reason, if I have 4 updates, I have to go to the App store, select an app, click on Free, click on install, then watch it start loading the program, then go BACK to the app store, and repeat the process for every app?
And I no longer get update notifications or options in iTunes? Is this for real??

Yes, now none of my applications will open. The application attempts to open, the goes back to the desktop screen. I had this happen once before, but when I "updated all" it fixed the problem. Now non of my applications work!!
I have attempted deleting all applications and reloading them, but no dice. I says I have already loaded installed the applications. I reinstall, but it still does not work.
Anyone have a solution for this?

What happened to "Select All" for a contact in Address Book?

Use to be able to open a contact, "select all," and copy and paste a contact's info into an email or document. With Snow Leopard, "select all" only works with individual fields.
This is really a pain when I just want to grab a contact's info and paste it elsewhere.
Anyone find a way to select all?

I can confirm this. this strikes me as a usability bug. it was definitely possible in Leopard and I used to do it too. I don't see any workarounds but I urge you to file a bug report

What happened to 'Bookmark all tabs'?

Ffox 3.6 had Bookmarks>>Bookmark all open tabs (in addition to 'Bookmark this tab (Ctl+D)) which would save all of the current tabs in a folder of bookmarks. <BR>
This was very useful for juggling research projects. (as was close all other tabs) <BR>
Do these functions still exist in 7? Tab Groups is not a usable alternative.

Aha! I have found it as any tab menu. So, rClk any tab>>Bookmark All Tabs>>Folder>>Add Bookmarks

What happened to "Mark All as Played/Unplayed"?

Either I can't find it anymore, or it was removed. If it's the latter, I'm a bit disappointed.

I can't find "Mark All Played/Unplayed" but if you tap "Edit", you can select as many episodes as you want, and then mark those selected episodes as Played/Unplayed.

What happen to play all button in videos app ios7

What happened to free pilot episodes for TV Shows?

There are some TV shows that I've either never watched, or aren't available to me because they air on premium channels I don't have. I know for a time, a lot of shows had their pilot episode available for free. It was nice to be able to sample the show before spending any money on more episodes or full seasons. One episode of a show isn't that pricey, but when there are 5 or more shows I want to see for the first time, it can get expensive, especially when some premium channel shows episodes are $4. And why don't they rent TV episodes for like $0.99? Some shows I do want full seasons of to buy, but others I just want to catch up on and watch once. I don't see why offering free pilot episodes would hurt, is there a chance that will happen again?

The point of this forum is to help folks get extensions
working or perhaps to find an extension that does a specific
function, it was never to focus on free extensions. Not quite sure
where you've gotten that idea from, but I've been a frequent
visitor to this forum for at least 6 years and it's never been "the
whole point of this forum".
When it comes down to it, when you get beyond very basic
functionality, it takes a lot of effort and knowledge to create a
really useful extension, if you're willing to put that effort in,
then please by all means post what you've done so that others can
see what you've done. Others are already doing their share as there
are plenty of free extensions out there, the Adobe Exchange lists
