I just picked up my first Mac. I got the 13 inch Mac book air and so far it's great. Gonna take me some time to learn this lol.

Two ways:
1) with Finder open, do Cmd + / and you'll see the bottom status bar which has disk space listed.
2) open Disk Utility (under Utilities in your Application folder) and select your hard drive.
What's the best way to use an external drive? I have a tb full of movies.
If your router accepts USB connections, you can plug the drive in there and use is as a networked drive. In my case, I have all of my music and movies on a network drive and set them up in iTunes with the "Copy files to iTunes media library" unchecked. This allows you to add them to iTunes without eating up all of your already limited disk space. The only down side is that you can?t access the media when you are away from the network.
Will this work unchecking the copy box? I want my music in the just not movies and tv.
Nice. Thanks for all the help.
Just bought a MacBook Air myself. My second Apple computer.
My first was an Apple II GS in 1986. I think it cost $5k, with a printer, disc drive and modem. Why the hell did I bought the modem! One line at a time downloading. Used it only a few times.
Amazing what 27 years of evolution can accomplish.
Goodbye Windows.
