Zen V plus 8 GB capacity -- How much free sp

My new 8GB Zen V Plus shows the total capacity as 7660 MB. Is that to be interpreted as 7660,000,000 bytes or 7660 * 024 * 024 = 8000,000,000 bytes which is the marketed "8 GB".
I am concerned because it filled up completely with just 6.95 GB (approx 7,460,000,000 bytes) from my computer.
I assumed the marketing capacity 8GB meant 8 * 0^9 bytes, which is really 7.5 GB approx. But 6.9 GB seems to be somewhat unacceptable. Will reformatting free up any space Message Edited by pannayar on -28-20072:53 AM

every computer memory (flash disks, hard drives) has some hidden space in it. if you buy 80GB hard drive, you will never get full space of it - you will have like 70-75GB. there are various informations hidden there (let's say, for example, that you can recover files that were deleted like 2 months ago - the hidden space is where the information about them is hidden). read about it on the internet if you're interested.
you can recover this space (but i'm quite sure that below method works on ZEN), but you will surely lose your guarantee:

you have also asked about files that actually take more space on ZEN than on computer. you are wrong. on computer, you also have two sizes. open Properties window of any file and you will see magic things.
(i have opened random .jpeg file)
Size: 8.60 KB
Size on disk: 2.0 KB
every program (operating system, image browser, itunes or whatever) will show 8.60 KB as a file size, but the actual size is 2.0 KB and that's what you should look onto. this is about the file system, clusters and so on. read this if you are interested:

My iPhone 6 plus screen was crashed, how much is the cost if I want to repair it at Apple? FYI: I didn't bought Applecare

My iPhone 6 plus screen was crashed, how much is the cost if I want to repair it at Apple? FYI: I didn't bought Applecare+. I bought my iPhone 6 plus 3 months ago in Singapore.

$129 US. https://www.apple.com/support/iphone/repair/screen-damage/ For local pricing call your nearest Apple store. If you live somewhere other than Singapore you'll have to send the phone to someone you trust in Singapore and have them take the phone in to have it repaired. iPhone's do not have an international warranty and can only be serviced in the country they were purchased.

How much free space will be left after import ?

Hallo. I need to replace all schemas on integration server using those on production server. I want to know how much free space will be left on /data at integration server after this kind of refresh. Both databases are Oracle 9 so I will use exp/imp. Here is how I do it. Could you check if I think good? On target server there is 72 GB free space on /data.
Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted
/dev/vgsmxdata/lvsmxcopy 194.74G 122.56G 72.18G 63% /data
Overall size of schemas to be exported from SOURCE_DB is 150 GB. The same schemas on TARGET_DB takes 90GB. So difference is 60GB. Free space in datafiles in TARGET_DB is 30GB. Does it mean that in first place the free space in datafiles will be filled and after that datafiles would be extended? That would mean that a database would extend to 150GB and free space on /data would be 40 GB after refresh. Am I right?

How much free disk space after setup

I am just about to purchase a macbook and I am trying to find out how much disk space I can expect to have free.
I was thinking of getting the 80gb model but I also have a 40gb ipod which is two thirds full.
How much free space can I expect or should I go for the 120gb HD model?

To give you an indication, my System and Library folders add up to around 12GB and my Applications folder is around 10GB.
While these aren't small they are rather typical as it includes the standard Mac OS X installation, full iLife 06, Adobe CS2, Microsoft Office v.X, Macromedia Studio MX plus a few other things. So you can realistically count on anything from 20 to 30GB for the OS and software. Yes you can obviously get less than that by optimising your installations. From there it's just how much data you have and what sort of data you use.
For most average users 60GB is plenty. If you do anything with video, have a large music library (mine is 10GB) and play games then obviously these will afftect your drive choice.
If price is not an issue then go for a 120GB drive, Apple or 3rd party. For cost effectiveness the best choice is an Apple upgrade to 80GB.

Is there any application or plug in that anyone knows of that could tell me how much free hard drive space i have left on my mac? Thanks so much. . .

I'm looking for an application or plug in that can tell me how much free space I have available on my hard drive left for my MacBook Air, thanks so much!

***Correction***
The other way to do this is to choose About this Mac under the Apple menu. When the window appears, click on More Info, and then choose Storage from the selection of tabs at the top.

I've just upgraded to Lion and finder no longer shows how much free disk space I have left

Hi I've just upgraded to Lion and when im now in finder i can no longer see how much free or used hard disk space i have. anyone know how to turn this back on?

Hi Alan,
I think you are looking for this:
From the Finder, select View > Show Status Bar and like magic, your info is revealed like how it was with snow leopard at the bottom of the finder window.
If you have the finder window at the bottom of your screen then it might be below the screen, just move the window up. That happened for me when I revealed it.
Hope this helps.

How do i find how much free space my iMac has? Its running MAC OS v10.6.8

I can't see anywhere where I can find out how much free soace my iMac has, any help much appreciated!

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You have different ways to do it. First, you can use Disk Utility (it's in /Applications/Utilities). Open that application, choose "Macintosh HD" in the sidebar and free space will show up at the bottom of that window.
If you have Lion or Mountain Lion, open  > About this Mac > More Info > Storage.
Another way is using Finder. First, open a Finder window, select Finder menu (on the menu bar) > Preferences > General, and mark "Hard disks". Then, Macintosh HD will appear in the desktop, so choose it and press the Space key

Nokia E72 - How much free mem after update to 91.0...

Hello!
Obviously there are not too many still using the Nokia E72 around here. But of those having updated to firmware version 91.003, could anyone please tell me how much free mem there is after startup, i.e. with PhoNetInfo or a similar application? Would be much appreciated. With 73.001 I have about 40 to 41MB with unused apps deinstalled or turned off.
Thanks!

Changelog : improvements in memory (RAM) consumption
My opinion : nothing has been changed [less than 45 mb at startup]

How much free space do I need to have on my 32GB iPhone 3GS?

How much free space do I need to have on my 32GB iPhone 3GS for optimum performance? I have only 4 GB left and I am worried that performance will soon be degraded.

Apple allocates space on the flash memory for cacheing proposes. You shouldnt worry. You can fill it up with out preformance problems.

How to check how much free ram in E72?

I've heard so many discussion saying about the free ram? how can i check the free ram during the use of the mobile?
Please help...

I am a e72 user, and yes, the ram sucks. In matter of fact, all my posts for the e72 is more concerned on the free ram available.
Anyway, use the following software called Taskman:
http://www.smartphoneware.com/taskman-for-s60-3rd-edition-product.php
It is a trial version, but nevertheless you will see how much free ram the phone has.
Now all i can do is just sit and wait and perhaps a miracle can happen where a future firmware can somewhat free some RAM (very unlikely).

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.

How do I see how much free disk space I have?

I just upgraded my OS from Snow Lepeord to Mountain Lion. When I had the finder window open, it always told me at the bottom how many files and how much disk space was being used in that folder. Additionally, it told me how much free space I had on my hard drive. After the upgrade, it no longer does that. Did Apple get rid of this or is there an option I need to turn on? I looked around and couldn't find i

Well, you should see something like this:
If you don't then try this:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Lion
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
If this doesn't work then reinstall:
Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.

Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and want to upgrade to Yosemite, which requires about 5.7 GB. When I go to About this Mac, I see that I have 4GB memory. But to upgrade I think I need 5.7 RAM. I don't know difference between GB in memory and RAM. How do I find out how much free space I have and if it's enough to download Yosemite? I have 2.4 GHz processor speed for my MacBook 7.1. Also, first time I tried downloading, I ran out of gigabytes from my broadband account. I bought more ( 6 GB) and then the downloading stopped and never completed? Could I have run out of gigabytes on broadband account again?
RAM is different to disk space. Niel's #2 instruction tell you how to check disk space. That is where the installer will be saved when you download it.
Make sure the disk has well over 20-30GB free, the OS can perform badly if you fill the disk too full.
Since you have 6GB a 'cap' on your downloads I'd strongly suggest that you do the following if you ever manage to download the installer…
Wait for the download to complete, when the large window pops up prompting you to install OS X click Cancel.
Now open the Applications folder, find the installer (called 'Install OS X Yosemite'). Copy that to another disk for safe keeping.
When copied you can open the installer application from the Applications folder & continue to install OS X.
The reason for making a copy is because the installer will delete itself after installation. If you ever need to re-run it you will need to download it again. This is not good when you have a download limit on your internet connection.
Do you have access to any other internet connections? A friend, relative or business that has no download cap? It could be expensive to keep hitting your cap.
P.S. The installer may restart instead of resuming the download, so it is possible that the entire 5.7 GB will need to be downloaded again.
