Place that shows a bar with information about the amount of space different things - such as documents, music, pictures - resume.

MacBook OSX 10.10,3

Trying to figure out which takes up more space on my computer, someone showed me somewhere with a colored bar that shows how much space is taken by the documents, pictures, music, etc.  However, I didn't write that information down and now I can't find it.  I'd appreciate any help.

Apple menu > about this Mac, and then click storage at the top of this window.

However, I can't find this information useful stuff. You can try the search for large files, as described in http://osxdaily.com/2012/04/17/find-large-files-in-mac-os-x-search/

  • Need help with information about the file

    IM and only know basic computer skills. Im having a problem with obtaining correct file information.  I only use MS MediaPlayer.  I have amassed a decent library.  Over the years, I've downloaded music from CD, limewire and what is called a torrent.  My daughter would be to get an education, but she managed.  Songs from a CD are not a problem, but other sources, the news of music might be incorrect or missing.  On my hard drive and the Member for information often is listed as unknown or various artist.  I edited the info on the Congressman, but he will not put these songs in order. Always the groups to the title of an album.  I can't change the information in the properties.  I think I would need to correct the source info in my library, but I don't know how. Any help would be greatly appreciated my OCD insists that my library be in order. Thank you!

    Liner,

    Musician is working hard and deserves to be paid for their work like everyone else, and unless they offer their recordings for free, whenever you download a torrent or P2P service like Limewire, you're basically stealing their intellectual property and taking food off of their plate.

    Most of the people don't post on a Microsoft Forum, ask the help of cataloguing of media that were obtained from these types of sources. In addition, the sources you cite could also distribute unwanted hitchikers (virus, malicious software) as well as the music.

    If you buy the CD you got with torrents and Limewire, you would probably best chance to get the metadata. And it would be "the right thing to do."

  • Explorer Windows-why are header fields not fill with information about the files?

    I've added a few new header fields to locate some files in Windows Explorer because I need to get the counts for the number of files in each folder and transfer this information to a spreadsheet.  It would be easier that when I opened the main file would be listed all the sub-files and the information I need would be just listed in the field next to the header file.  Otherwise, I need to right click on each file individually and go to properties to get the count of file information.  Any help would be appreciated, even if it's another way to get the leaders for each individual file.  Thank you!!

    No, at least not by us.

    Open a hard drive for some reason any at all can be done in special
    laboratory as parameters. Something else will destroy the disk.

    There are companies trying to recover data from broken disks,
    and they are sometimes successful. And who knows, maybe they
    sometimes use methods such as what you describe.

    But if you plan to use such a company, know what they
    are all very expensive. It does not for most people.

    For the future, if you have files you want to be sure are not
    lost, make sure to have in place a backup procedure on a regular basis the

  • Get information about the layer with script styles

    Is there a way for a script to get information about the currently existing on a layer layer styles?

    For example, can I know if a layer has a drop shadow, and that therefore, find the dimensions of this shadow, transparency, color, etc...?

    If you don't have CS4 you will need Xbytor script. With CS4, you can the the layer descriptor

    var ref = new ActionReference();
    ref.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID("Lyr "), charIDToTypeID("Ordn"), charIDToTypeID("Trgt") );
    var desc = executeActionGet(ref).getObjectValue(stringIDToTypeID('layerEffects'));

    Please follow the steps in the link.

    Important: before you perform an upgrade in-place, you must be prepared for the worst scenarios that led to your existing data on your computer being deleted. These data include data personal, settings, information about the hardware and software drivers. In case of a worst case scenario, you may have to reinstall all the programs. Make sure that you back up personal data to disks or other external storage devices before performing an upgrade on the spot.

  • Information about the backup of files

    I replace my old system of vista with windows 7 Professional, I'm backing up my files if I can replace vista Ultimate edition, but I don't know which option to use to back up my computer. I like to keep everything I've got, just change the operating system. I don't have an external hard drive, so I'll support my computer on the disks.

    Hi wooldave,

    You can save your files on DVD or CD. Make sure that the disks are writable, which means that you can add, remove, or modify the content. If you decide to use this method and have a lot of files to backup, be sure to have enough disks to complete the job. The back up files Wizard you indicates how much space you need whenever you perform a backup and recommends the type of media to use. If you label the disks with the date and time of the backup, they will be easier to find later. For maximum protection, keep the discs in a fireproof place separate from your computer.

    Always keep removable storage or media used for backups (such as external hard drives, DVDs or CDs) in a safe place in order to prevent unauthorized access to your files.

    1. Open the backup center and restore by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking system and Maintenance, and then click backup and Restore Center.
    2. Click back up files, and follow the steps in the wizard. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    Visit the links below for more information about the backup and restore.

  • Information about the laptop ports (USB, HDMI, etc.)?

    I am currently looking a 17z-e100 portable Pavilion to customize and order. However, I can't find any information about the laptop ports. I need a HDMI output and 3 USB connectors and transfer large files on my key USB regularly, at least a USB 3.0 is necessary (with 2 USB 2.0 connectors).

    I was looking at the specs on another Web site, and they claimed that it includes 1 HDMI, 2 USB 3.0 connectors and 1 USB 2.0 connector, but it's a slightly different model so I would like to get my information from the manufacturer.

    So my question is, what are the ports are included? HDMI, USB, Audio, etc.

    Also, the "Contact/Email HP" option on the site seems broken, because some required fields have no space to fill. I tried on two different browsers.
