[QUOTE="NanoBite, post: 405535, member: 13565"] The original folders that contained your photos/music prior to you importing them into iPhoto/iTunes .... are they still on your HD? Did you allow iTunes to organise your music? If so, then once the songs are imported, iTunes has the lot filed away in it's folder structure. The original folder would be regarded as a doubling up of your music collection. The same goes for iPhoto. Once I import my photos into it, I delete the originals as iPhoto catalogues the imports and just displays alias' in the main iPhoto Library Window. The OS would occupy around about 20GB but even if you have duplicated your music/photos it still would leave you with way more than the reported 7.5GB. [/QUOTE]
