400MB fre one minute then 3GB free the next...dumb question...

ok, so I have my macbook filled with 10,000 plus of photos. I know i know I need to back them up and delete them from my hard drive. but my question is this. From time to time I do delete files little by little. And for example I checked and It said I had 3 GB free then after doing one thing or another it says I only have 400 MB free. Why?
Thanks for any insight on the matter!

It also depends on how many applications are running on your system. The virtual memory manager would resize the pagefile on your hard drive to boost the amount of available memory is available to your applications if need be. Thus, the radical fluctuation of hard drive free space.

Have you tried clearing DW's program cache yet? That's usually my first step if something "just started happening"...
Deleting a corrupted cache file
Server updates can cause DW to need a setting change. Have you already tried toggling Use Passive FTP in your site settings yet?
Has anything changed on your local network, like an update to a firewall?
If you are connected via wireless router, a low likelihood but possible thing to test would be a wireless router problem. Try connecting the computer directly to your modem, bypassing the wireless router (if you aren't using an all in one modem/router setup) to see if that makes any difference.

My iphone randomly turned off out of nowhere. I was getting dressed, my phone was working one minute then literally the next it syopped now it wont charge i cant turn it on however the phone is on cause i called it and it rang. What to do? help please. I tried putting it in DFU mode but my lock button doesnt work and my phone wont charge so i cant connect to itunes

There is no reason to put it in DFU mode, a reset should work. Although, without a working power button it is not possible to reset the device.
Sounds like it is time to replace the damaged device.

You might try posting in the iPhone forum. This is the iPad forum.

"Reader" will only display a PDF for one second, then suts down the PDF.

I recently had an automatic update to "Reader" and now "Reader" will only display a PDF for about one second, then shuts down the PDF. This happens to all PDFs no matter what the scource. I am running Windows 7. What do I need to do to correct the situation. (Yes -- I deleted "Reader" from my computer, the re-installed it. Didn't help.)

Go to C/Programs/Adobe/Reader 11/Reader.
Look for a file named eula.exe (or just eula).
Double click it.
Accept the license agreement.
Reader should work fine from there.

Nano plays 30 seconds of a song then goes to the next one

My ipod nano plays about 30 seconds of a song then goes to the next one. It is very frustrating. Any answers?

Does this happen with every track you try to play or only certain ones? Does it happen to these same tracks in iTunes?
Make sure the Shake to Shuffle feature has not been turned on it Settings -> Music.

HT1725 i downloaded an album and one song only plays for 3 seconds and then skips to the next song. I can't get it to re-download either. What am I supposed to?

This is the second time that I've downloaded an album and one song off of it will play for 3 seconds and then skip to the next song. I've tried everything under the iTunes help and nothing has worked. Any ideas?

Why can't you delete it and redownload it?
If still problem contact iTunes

Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting that track from your iTunes library and redownload it via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads with the same problem then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

TS1717 I just downloaded a song and it only plays the first 50 seconds and then moves to the next song in the list. How can I get it to play the rest of the song?

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

State machine custom task workflow how to pass one task field value to the next task field

i am using ItemMetadata.xml to pass value from list to custom task first value its passing the but second value is showing as null
plus how to pass one custom task value to the next custom task
i.e one supervisor approver comments submitted field i want to see on department manager approval custom task which is the next approver from supervisor
ows_firstfield=""
ows_SecondField=""
the above ows fields are from list
in this i am unable to retrive the second value in the task form this is my first query?
second query is that how can we pass one task field value to next approver task field value?
any idea
MCTS,ITIL

What type of workflow is this? IS this Visual Studio or SharePOint designer or third party (K2, Nintex, etc...)? YOu should be able to get ahold of the task that was edited via the correlation token, and then grab any value you want from that
task (wether it be a custom field or a standard worfklow task field).
It would help to know what you are using to build the workflow.
Thanks!

TS1424 some albums when downloaded only play partial parts of songs then skips to the next song how do i fix this?

i downloaded Korn the path of totality and the first 4 songs work the next 4-5 just plays 10-12 seconds of the song then skips to the next the last 4 songs seems to work. Also i downloaded Tyga- carless world and each song shows up twice on my iphone and it only plays a couple of the songs, it wont play some and skips to others ones it seems random, but it plays fine on my itunes on my computer.

Other people have been having similar problems with songs over a number of days.
Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the incomplete tracks from your iTunes library and redownload them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if they re-download in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find those songs and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

How do i get my podcasts to go from the one i just finished to the next one and how do i sort them from oldest to newest?

how do i get my podcasts to go from the one i just finished to the next one withouth me having to click on it, and how do i sort them from oldest to newest?

Not sure if you tried this, but did you hold down both the sleep and home button for 10 seconds?

I downloaded a song and i tried to listen to it but it will only play the first half of the song and then skip to the next song.

I downloaded several songs successfully to my ipod nano (5) but this particular song when i tried to listen to it would play for the first half and then skip to the next song in the playlist like the ipod thought the song was over.

Did you download from itunes? If not, some websites save the song too quickly or in a format that glitches.
I've had this problem before with both itunes and non itunes purchases, try deleting it and re-downloading.
