Thanks, John. I've gone through each category and yes, the pictures folder is huge. I haven't found an app that's satisfactory for sorting pictures and finding duplicates but have tried one or two that aren't as successful as I'd like. The problem is that I (like many others) have imported from old backups, no-longer-used external hard drives, etc. and now have multiple copies of way too many pictures. I'm almost resigned to chaining myself to a chair and going through iPhoto picture by picture to weed out duplicates.

After reading John's response I read Denver Dan's post on iPhoto helpers. I'm about to explore them. Photo Sweeper sounds interesting, as do several others. Thanks, all.

Disk Inventory X will give you a picture of your HD contents relative to size.
It's beautiful to "see" what are such file hogs on a HD.

Howdy.
Duplicate Finder application.
Willi, check out a shareware duplicate finder called DupeGuru.
It can be used free but with a limit of only ten dupes. There is a
minimal shareware fee.
It's fast and pretty easy to use. It lets you mark and then delete
duplicates.

There are several good applications that will display for you exactly what files, where, are occupying how much space on any given drive.
I prefer OmniDiskSweeper (free):

If, like most of us, you only actually need 1 or 2 language localizations, you can save several gigabytes of space on the drive by using an application like Monolingual:

There are new images, not the black and white first Curiosity images, but big color landscapes that news outlets are showing. Where are they getting these? I visited NASA and found only the b/w crap. jr

Ahh, I am back at the library and the internet again. Sorry for disappearing on you.
First, I am very computer challenged. This is my second computer ever. It is a 2 year old silver, 13 inch and had the leporard OS. Beyond that, I would have to see if I can find the info requested on the computer.
Speed is, to a degree, irrelevent to me. I am literly in the middle of nowhere and use dial up. Yes, it still exists. So, all of the nice speed inhanced goodies, movies, music, etc don't mean a thing to me except to wish for them. I just want the computer to work and it doesn't. I tried all of the "key combinations" and none worked. I tried to reinstall the OS and it would not install. I was told it is probably the hard drive.
As for knowledge of how computers work - the first computer I had was a G3 my son put together and gave to me. He kept it running until he moved to another state and then I managed to keep it going until I fried the thing. Then came this one and I have not been happy with it since I got it.
So I have thought about trying to "fix" it with some help, and among the replies there are some good suggestions. But there is a place 30 miles away that if the weather cools off enough. (no a/c in the car and over 100 degree days) I may take it to to save the agravation and risk of totally killing it.
Hey, I have even thought about getting the WebTV out and using it. All I really need is to be able to get on the internet to do some research, etc. Driving 10 miles in this weather to use a computer is NOT fun.
So, I will read through the info you all presented again, and try to figure out what I will do.
Thanks all

I'm using Lion (10.7.4) iCloud Mail 5.2, and just recently downloaded the latest software update for Safari. Now I wish I hadn't. Safari has acted weird and now starting yesterday I can't click on a link in an email and have it open in Safari. It won't even work in the separate menu at the end of the link, "Quick Look URL". Is there a preference setting somewhere that I might be overlooking? If not, then I just might dump Safari, after all this time, and go to another browser. Any suggestions?
Thanks much! ... and Good Job NASA!!!

Howdy.
CalDigit is promoting a new external Thunderbolt drive case called the
CalDigit T1 Thunderbolt Drive.
It can accommodate either a hard drive or a SSD drive.
This is interesting because the speed of a SSD drive might actually be
useable via a Thunderbolt connection.

iPhoto Buddy is just as good as works well for a whole lot less money.

Hi All,
I am new to this group and I hope this is a related question.
I have a fairly new IMAC computer... OS X 10.8.
I upgraded to Mountain Lion the other day but now when I go to the website fafsa.gov I get a message saying my web browser is out of date and is not supported. I checked to make sure Firefox is up to date and I am running 14.0.1.
Can someone please help me.

Tammy,
I am on Lion 10.7.4, not on Mountain Lion. I have no problem accessing fafsa.gov with either Firefox 14.0.1 or Safari 6.0. Perhaps it has to do with Mountain Lion, but you may wish to try a few things first inside of Firefox.
Check Firefox Preferences > Content > and see if Java is enabled. If this site requires Java, you will want to be sure it is checked.
Tools > Clear Recent History...try clearing Cookies and Cache and perhaps some of the other options.
If that doesn't do it, restart firefox and see if it works. If not, restart your computer and Firefox.
If none of that helps, it may be a Mountain Lion issue, a setting, or something else beyond my knowledge.
