Wondering how to know free space before burning CD

So far I've found it tedious trying to determine how much space is free when creating a playlist to burn to CD (regardless of the type of CD). While I understand that iTunes needs to examine the blank CD to determine the amount of storage, I wish it would indicate what % is used and the amount of KB would be free.

Yes, I guess I should have said I was burning audio CD's so the info at the bottom of iTunes doesn't help me as much as I'd like. It would be better it iTunes displayed minutes (or at least make this configurable). Also, this display does not change if one unchecks one or more of the songs even though this does change what songs are burned to the CD. This really needs more refinement.
While I'm on the checkboxes, is there a way to quickly find unchecked songs and toggle the checkbox?

HT1657 I had rented a movie on my IPhone5 and after downloading almost all of it, I get an error that there is no enough space. Why doesn't the store check to see if I have enough free space before proceeeding with the order?

How do I get a refund?

Well, with apps genneraly you do get told ahead of time. I'm not sure of the current algorithm with movies though.
Why not just clear up some space? You can check your usage in your settings btw.

How do you free space on the startup disk

how do you free space on the startup disk

If your disk is 80% full that is normal. Time Machine uses up to 80% of the disk space for local snapshots. To get rid of these snapshots simply plug in your Time Machine backup drive and run a backup.
If you have less than 20% disk space then it is time to roll up your sleeves and search for what you can delete and what you can offload to another disk.
If you have less than 10 GB you definitely need to delete or offload some files. You may want to maintain at least 20 GB of free space so when your disk starts filling again it will have some room before it hits that 10 GB mark again. More headroom is better. If you let the space fall much below 9 GB you might not be able to boot your machine.
Initial easy steps to gain disk space:
- Delete all files in the Downloads folder.
- Empty the trash.
- Start iPhoto, empty its trash and restart the computer.
Deleting files:
Run a Time Machine (or other) backup since you are about to delete and move files and you may need to recover from any inadvertent mistakes or decisions. You will need one external hard drive for your Time Machine (or other) backup and a second one onto which you will offload some files.
Then use the free application OmniDiskSweeper http://www.omnigroup.com/more to explore your volume in descending order by size so you can attack the problem from the top down, deleting the largest unwanted files first. Delete with caution and do not delete any system files. Remember to empty the trash after trashing the files.
Moving files:
Consider moving some of the no-often-used large files or directories to an external disk. Use ODS again to find them.
As noted above this will be at least your second hard drive. Your first one(s) is/are for your Time Machine (or other) backup(s). Do not offload files onto a Time Machine disk.
Format the second drive as Mac OS Extended (journaled). Using OWS to find large files/folders and copy them from the system drive to the external hard drive and delete them from your internal drive.
Then  > System Preferences > Time Machine > Options… > Remove the offload HD name from the exclusions list.
Now both your system disk and your external offload disk will be backed up onto your Time Machine disk.

How SMON coalesces free space in oracle 9i and 10g

how SMON coalesces free space in oracle 9i and 10g?
Is it doing same as it was behaving in oracle 7 like looking through free extent table every five minutes (sys.fet$) to see if there are any adjacent free extents that can be coalesced into a single extent, and on every 25th cycle (i.e. every two hours and five minutes) it looks at the segment table (sys.seg$) to see if there are any temporary segments that need to be eliminated, as explained by jonathan lewis?
what are extent and segment tables available in oracle 9i and 10g like sys.fet$ and sys.seg$ in oracle7?

How much free space before updating iPad to 5?

I have an original, 64gb iPad One.
from what I am reading here, free disc space seems to be important before doing the upgrade.
how much free space do those of who have updated suggest, BOTH on then iPad, and on
my PC hard drive?
Not looking forward to a bricked-install

The more stuff you got, the longer the whole update will take...increasing the chances something might not go smoothly.
So delete movies/videos first as they take up the most space. You can copy them back later. It's worth the small hassle imo.

Hard drive getting full or near full?
Do a search for and downlaod and install OmniDisk Sweeper and OnyX.
Here are some of my tips for deleting or archiving data off of your internal hard
Have you emptied your iMac's Trash icon in the Dock?
If you use iPhoto, iPhoto has its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
Other things you can do to gain space.
Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive older emails you want to save to disc, Flash drive/s or to ext. hard drive.
Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
Again, archive to disc, Flash drive or ext. hard drive and/or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
Uninstall apps that you no longer use. If the app has a dedicated uninstaller, use it to completely uninstall the app. If the app has no uninstaller, then just drag it to the OS X Trash icon and empty the Trash.
Also, if you save old downloaded .dmg application installer files, you can either archive and delete these or just delete the ones you think you'll never install, again.
Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
When you install and launch it, let it do its thing initially, then go to the cleaning and maintenance tabs and run all of the processes in the tabs. Let OnyX clean out all web browser cache files, web browser histories, system cache files, delete old error log files.
Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be thinned out, moved, also, to the external hard drive and then either archived to disc, Flash drive or ext. hard drive and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.
Good Luck!

How to find free space in a Tablespace?

Hi,
I have a limited access to objects in my database ( do not have access to many tables).
I have been allocated 300GB of size in my tablespace which allows me to create my objects.
Now, I want to find out how much of this tablespace size allocated to me have been used up. I do not have access to dba_data_files or dba_segments.
Is there a way out for me? Could anyone show me a way please?

This query will give you the required information but it makes use of DBA tables.
SELECT B.TABLESPACE_NAME, TBS_SIZE SIZEGB, A.FREE_SPACE FREEGB
from (select tablespace_name, round(sum(bytes)/1024/1024/1024 ,2) as free_space
       from dba_free_space
       GROUP BY TABLESPACE_NAME) A,
      (select tablespace_name, sum(bytes)/1024/1024/1024 as tbs_size
       from dba_data_files
       group by tablespace_name) b
where a.tablespace_name(+)=b.tablespace_name;
However, you said that you are aware of your tablespace details so the above query can be modified to get the free space in your tablespace. Now I am using user_frees_space and not dba_free_space. Generally user* tables are and should be made accessible to the users.
select tablespace_name, round(sum(bytes)/1024/1024/1024 ,2) as free_space
from    user_free_space
where   tablespace_name = 'Your tablespace name'
GROUP BY TABLESPACE_NAME;

5.2 Pages, how to create white space before and after paragraphs?

Hi everyone,
I'm having a very frustrating time with the new 5.2 version of pages after upgrading from a prior version. In the previous version, you could easily adjust the exact amount of white space before and after each paragraph. You were able to do this from within the inspector, but for the life of me, I cannot find it ANYWHERE in the new version and I'm ripping my hair out trying to find it.
Surely you must be able to control the amount of space before and after each paragraph? It's totally useless to me if I can't; I want to be able to format my documents how I want; ie. plenty of white space between paragraphs and list points, not all bunched up together.
Someone please help me! Thank you so much!

Try telling Apple that. Start by rating/reviewing Pages in the App Store.
I have been told repeatedly by Apple staff that the new User Interface makes it "Much simpler".
When I ask how? …and point out how many (more) hidden steps there are, they don't want to talk anymore.
Apple's standard response to just about everything lately, unfortunately.
btw If you have the choice, use Pages '09 instead. Less buggy and way more features, better laid out.

How to find free space in an ArrayList...

Hi,
I have an ArrayList with data randomly assigned to different indexs of the ArrayList.
I want to find out where the "gaps" are within the ArrayList... For Example There would be data in index 0,1,2,3,5 but not in index 4 . How would I go about finding this information.
Thanks

I am i right?No, it will not fill a gap.in fact it will, after a fashion.
When you remove an item the remaining items are reshuffled to close the gaps.
When you try to insert an item beyond the last position (so at list.size()+2 or greater) you will get an error, and the insert will fail.I was more thinking of a situation like this:
        strings.add("One");
        strings.add("Two");
        strings.add("Three");
        strings.set(1, null);
        System.out.println(strings);The element at index 1 will be null (a gap in my view), since remove won't cause a gap.
