1.23 GB of "Other". Can this be reduced?

Just got my new 16 gb nano. Awesome. I loaded all my photo's, several movies, song's etc. There is 1.23 GB of "other". Can this be reduced, or is it all operating system? Thanks.

Hello Dave,
The storage space taken up by "Other" can be made up of, notes or files of any kind you've added to the iPod while using it as a hard disk or album artwork and lyrics. And sometimes when the iPod data base has become corrupt.
There will always be a few MBs or a little over a GB of used space under "other" for the iPod's software and OS, but if it's in GBs it's unusually large. This often happens when the iPod data base becomes corrupt, but that doesn't seem to apply to this situation.
Hope this helps.

Thunderbird is using 12.5GB of disk space. How can this be reduced?

I took a look at this thread: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/999525?esab=a&as=aaq
However, I don't see any nstmp files, so the solution doesn't transfer.
I use Thunderbird to manage six email addresses. At present, Thunderbird is using 12.5GB in my AppData folder, which is roughly an eighth of my hard drive (SSD). I either need to reduce that or force Thunderbird to store these on a different hard drive. How can I do either?

first and foremost... Compact your folders. That is the only time space is freed. Deleted mail is marked as such but not purged until the compact occurs. So, File menu (Alt+F) > compact folders
Second move your profile,

Adobe Reader display page and text in tool bar and options too large. How can this be reduced?

My Adobe Reader (ver. XI) page for viewing and manipulating docs and the text in tool bar and menus is too large and I cannot reduce its size. I cannot add but a few functions on the tool bar without them reverting to the drop down. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe XI and that has not helped. Do not have this problem with other software so I know its not the resolution settings of computer.
Any way to reduce the size of the "viewing page" and its text? I can change the size of the doc I am viewing but not the items of the page that displays the doc.
Thanks.

When I go to About This Mac and click on Storage it shows 421.93GB as Other. This only leaves 46.85GB of 499.25GB free. How do I find out what this "Other" is so I can remove the stuff I don't need?

What kind of use do you make of your MBP? A lot of photo or video? If so, you may be storing a lot of large files. Look at Finder and see what the file system looks like. Do you have large libraries of data files associated with applications?
You may want to think about an external hard drive to use for backups and data storage, you can point applications to the external drive as the default storage location.
A good source of external drives at a reasonable price is the Mac specialist, OWC, http://www.macsales.com
I bought their Mercury Elite Pro 2 TB dirve last September and set it up to use part for Time Machine backup and part for other work space. Setup with Disk utility into two partitions is very quick and easy. Just remember to format as Extended Journaled with GUID partition table. Setting the partition sizes is by using a braphical image on screen in DU so it is like falling off a log, so easy.

After installing the new Yosemite OS on my iMac I can no longer send email. I can receive email, but not send. I use gmail and can send email on the gmail (google) site, but not on "mail" on my iMac. Any others with this problem? What should we do?

After installing the new Yosemite OS on my iMac I can no longer send email. I can receive email, but not send. I use gmail and can send email on the gmail (google) site, but not on "mail" on my iMac. Any others with this problem? What should we do?

My gmail, which is correctly configured for Mail with gmail SMTP and Google IMAP, works for awhile on Mail, which I leave open while working on other applications. But several times a day I get msg from Google: "We recently blocked a sign-in attempt to your Google Account" . . . and requiring me to verify my account details, re-enter passwords, confirm security settings (or change them from "disable" to "enable less secure methods" and so on). In Mail I also have tried "taking all accounts online", and re-entering my gmail password inside Mail account settings. These steps successfully re-set comms between gmail and Mail ... for awhile, then it happens again. Enough occurrences over a work day that I just quit Mail and revert to accessing gmail directly. Apple Care advisor and an Apple knowledge base article say that Apple can't deal with this, as gmail is third-party app, and they refer me to gmail, and so far I've found nothing helpful there.
From today I also have several instances of a window saying "Mail has unexpectedly closed" and asking me to Re-open it.
I also use Yahoo mail, which stops working with Mac Mail at the same time as gmail, but I do not receive notices to re-verify from Yahoo.
I recently upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite. The Mail problem happened occasionally with Mavericks but is far more frequent with Yosemite.

HT201077 As of recently any photos I add to a shared photostream will not update for others. Only I can see them. How come others sharing this photo stream are not getting the new photos?

As of recently any photos I add to a shared photostream will not update for others and I don't see the updated photos on my other devices. Only I can see them from the device that i've posted from. How come others sharing this photostream are no longer getting the new photos? My iphone (the device i'm adding from) shows 20 pictures in this shared photostream and yet 4 other people that I share this photostream album with and my ipad only show 12 photos. For the past week I keep adding photos thinking people will see them but it just won't update the new ones. Any ideas how to fix this?

You can stop new photos being automatically added to Photostream in iPhoto from iPhoto preferences > Photostream.

I have Mac OSX 10.5.8. Processor is 1.8 GHz Power PC G5. I have seen other people talk about processor in OSX 10.5.8 as Intel. How can this be?

I have a Mac OSX (10.5.8). The processor is 1.8 GHz Power PC G5. I have seen other people refer t the processor in thier Mac 10.5.8 as Intel. How can this be?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Mac OS X 10.4 and 10.5 support Macs with Intel and PowerPC processors, so it's normal that some Mac OS X 10.5.8 users have got an Intel Mac and others have got a PowerPC one. Mac OS X 10.6 and later only support Intel computers

Can others verify this bug in Pages 5.0.1?

I think I've found a bug, but would like to see if others here can replicate it.
Running OS X 10.9.1, do the following:
1) Launch Pages 5.0.1
2) Open/Create a New Document
3) Go to Edit-->Spelling and Grammar and Check ON "Correct Spelling Automatically"
4) on a new blank line, type: thsi
5) The autocorrect box should pop up with "this" as the correction
6) Hit the Escape Key or click the X in the autocorrect box in order to reject the option to correct
7) Then hit the space bar to keep typing.
On my machine (and on my wife's machine) Pages will go ahead and autocorrect "thsi" to "this." No matter how many ways I tell pages to REJECT the autocorrect choice, it still autocorrects.
This is not the proper or expected behavior, and it is not how autocorrect works either in iOS 7 or in the Mail applicaiton on Mavericks; in both of those instances, once you have rejected the autocorrect alternative you are able to keep typing and leave "thsi" or whatever else you typed and meant to type intact.
Can others verify this bug???
Please note: there has been some confusion about where the spelling autocorrect settings reside; this is a confusion caused by Mavericks. There is a "correct spelling automaticaly" setting in Settings-->Keyboard-->Text, but there is also an "correct spelling automatically" in the Pages Edit menu. On my machine, the Pages setting appears to override whatever is found in the System settings.

Another autocorrect bug:
I type a lot of lyrics, which tend to cotain words like ’cause and ’em instead of because and them.
I've set up autocorrect instances to change a plain apostrophe with an ending, single curly quote for these words, but they are invariably changed to a beginning, single curly quote mark by Pages. The only way I can get the correct curly quote is to type over the wrong quote manually and hope that I don't have to edit the rest of the word again, as this would cause autocorrect to kick in again and change the quote to the wrong, beginning curly mark again.
Does anyone know how to get around this tedious problem?

Hi i insttalled the free trial 3O days MacScan on OsX10.5 is it normal that for full scaning it takes so long time more even than one day?! on the other hand this application hasn't any uninstaller on image disc ,so how can i uninstal it from my hard?

Get rid of the tracking cookies. They are used to profile and track your browsing history. While they are privacy invading, by calling them spyware, MacScan is being a little dramatic in trying to sell you its crap. And in the future, for whatever browser you use, don't allow third-party cookies.
To prevent tracking, get Ghostery. In addition to having Ghostery and forbidding third-party cookies, I clear out all cookies from one browsing session to another. If you always do that, you won't have any tracking cookies to worry about, so you won't need MacScan to find them for you. Btw, MacScan finds the tracking cookies in the first few minutes of scanning; if you want to use it for that, then that's all the time you need to run it for. But, as I said, you won't have any tracking cookies around if you just remove all cookies and don't allow third-party cookies. As soon as you visit a site that needs them, you'll just get new ones. No problem.

On my iPad2 I get a black screen when Itry to open FaceTime. Others can contact me and the camera and audio work. How do I fix this problem?

On my iPad2 I get a black screen when I attempt to open Face Time. Others can contact me and they come in with video and audio. I can chat with them as well. Is there a fix for this? I have verified my email address twice. I have turned FaceTime on and off several times as well.
Thanks,
Bill

I double clicked the round button when the icons appeared I held down and selected the FaceTime icon while it was shaking I selected the minus sign on the FaceTime icon closing it out. Then I restarted the iPad and bingo FaceTime works now.
