My "other" file is stealing my storage space and my local apple store has no idea how to find out what is in it let alone how to clear it so I can upgrade to iOS 7. He thinks my iPad is not really deleting things but storing it here.

My "other" file is stealing my storage space and my local apple store is aware of the problem but has no idea how to view it's content or how to empty it. He thinks my deleted files are going here instead of being deleted. Raw beginner here! Need help.

How to Remove “Other” Data from iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch
http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-remove-other-data-from-iphone/
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

How to find out what year model my Mac Mini

I got a "message" dialog on screen from Apple telling me OSX Mavericks is available for free. The system requirements say my Mac Mini needs to be an "early 2009 or newer" model. I got my Mini at the Apple store in town in 2010, but for all I remember now (not much) it could have been an older model than 2009. How do I determine if my Mac Mini is a 2009 or later model? (The "About this Mac" info doesn't have anything I can interpret that indicates what year my Mini was manufactured.)
I assume Apple "has my number" and this upgrade announcement wouldn't show up on its own without software update determining (outside my view/knowledge) that my Mini is "new" enough, but is there ANY info in that "About" screen that identifies the model by year? Hidden in one of the strings of numbers and letters, maybe?
Is it concerning that Software Update didn't list Mavericks as available for my Mac? It does newly list the migration assistant upgrade to help with Snow Leopard (installed) to Mavericks. But is it worth dl-ing for hours tonight if I only have 2 gb of ram and don't know for sure if my 'puter is new enough?
*I was under the impression, since I bought this machine, that OSX 10.6.8 was the "highest" operating system the Mini could support. Has that changed?

At the Apple Icon at top left>About this Mac.
Then click on More Info>Hardware and report this upto but not including the Serial#...

Is it possible and how to find out what host, if any, is connected to a remote PXI prior to switching execution target programmatically or in devlopment environment?

Is it possible and how to find out what host, if any, is connected to a remote PXI prior to switching execution target programmatically or in devlopment environment?

This functionality is not available in LabVIEW RT. If you attempt to switch execution target to an RT controller already targetted by someone else, it will tell you too many hosts are connected and fail. Of course if it allows you to switch, then no one was connected. By attempting to switch execution target you can use the message above to determine if anyone is targetted or not, but if someone is, there is no way to determine who.
If you are concerned about this sort of thing, you might check the RT target options in LabVIEW RT to change the IP access list for hosts that are allowed to switch execution target to it.

"Web'n'Walk III" Huawei dongle, how to find out what Huawei model it is?

I just bought this "web 'n' walk III" UMTS Modem (USB) made by Huawei. I want to instal it but do not know if the enclosed software is out of date (MobileConnectDriver(2.9.2)) and works under SL. Does anybody know how I find out what type of Huawei dangle it is so I can find the correct software?
any tips as to how to use this smoothly as the stick is to SIM locked and I will use it with a SIM from an other provider (Stick is branded by T-Mobile).

I worked out the model number, it is 'hidden' in small print on the back, in a larger number.

Every time I sign into my Macbook, I get an error message from Automator; "The data couldn't be read because it has been corrupted.". I have never created an Automator workflow. How do I find out what Automator is trying to run and stop it?

Maybe it's set as a login item:
- System Preferences: Users and Groups:
- Highlight your user account in the left pane/list
- Click "Login" tab at the top.
See if you have an Automater action on the list
- Note, you can select it, then right-click, and can then select "Reveal in Finder". That way you might have an idea what installed it.

Oracle version 8.1.7

Assuming that [auditing was enabled|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14220/security.htm#sthref2916], the command
AUDIT CONNECT WHENEVER NOT SUCCESSFULThat will write audit records when there is an unsuccessful login. Depending on how you've configured auditing, those records will either be written to the SYS.AUD$ table, in which case you can query them through a few different views, or to a file on the operating system that you can grep.

How to find out what is the lock key for the computer

How to find out what is the lock key for the computer?

You don't.
If you forgot or lost the password, all you can practically do is reset it.
The manner in which you do so depends on what version of OS X you are running. The older versions utilize the reset password utility on your recovery/re-installation disk/drive.
On Lion, you use the following technique to reset the Administrators password:
Boot to your Lion Recovery Partition, by holding down the Option key while starting, and then selecting the Recovery HD as the boot choice.
Once booted, at the top of the screen is a menu ..., select Utilities / Terminal from the menu bar.
In the Terminal window, type “resetpassword” (without the quotes) and press return. A “Reset Password” window will open. Select your boot volume (your SSD drive) if it is not already selected. Select your administrators username from the menu labeled “Select the user account” if it is not already selected. Follow the prompts to reset the password. Restart the computer from the apple menu.

How to find out what generation my Classic is ?

Can anyone advise me how I find out what generation my iPod Classic is ? Is there a website I can check with ?
Many thanks,

Hi Niel, the article I get directed to, doesn't really explain the difference between 6th and 7th generation Classics. Is there anywhere (maybe on the Apple website) I can input the Serial Number and Part Number to be exact ?

How to find out what Oracle version?

Hi,
Could anyone tell me how to find out what Oracle version is on your AIX/Unix machine? It looks like Oracle Installer doesn't use the native OS installation(installp,pkgadd) process, so I can't use lslpp/pkginfo to find out what filesets are installed.
Thanks
HQ.

Hi!
As far ar Oracle version is concerned, you can find it at the database level after connecting to the database
select * from v$version;
i am not sure if there is someway to find at the o/s level.
Good luck
