App Download and "Other" Memory Usage

For a month or so I've noticed that my iPhone 5s "Other" memory was on the order of 6gb... Deleted texts and emails attempting to reduce that size, to no avail...
Today I noticed that an App (Numbers) that had begun to download from the App Store (about a month ago), had not finished (WiFi was required for the large download, but had been turned off and on several times, but not long enough for the download to complete). It wasn't obvious to be that Numbers hadn't finished downloading...
I deleted Numbers from the iPhone, and installed it from iTunes on my iMac.
Upon the deletion of Numbers, my "Other" memory usage went from 6gb down to 2.25 gb, which was reasonable with some large maps and Good Reader docs I have on the phone...
The Numbers app is about 224Mb in size... So, it appears that the iPhone sets aside a very large part of memory for an app as it downloads, and then clears that memory once the app is installed...(though the amount cleared was on the order of 17x the size of the Numbers app...)
I notice a similar usage of Time Machine storage space... Small Time Machine saves require very large amounts of HDD space to be reserved for the backup... Wonder if the same logic is applied to the iPhone... Or perhaps every time WiFi was turned on and Numbers would reattempt to download, the amount of Other memory it required from the iPhone would increase...?
Anyone else noticed this behavior?

Update...
For "grins" I just un-checked "Sync Music", and synced my iPhone... Other Data went to zero. Re-checked "Sync Music" and synced, and only had 250Mb of Other on the iPhone. After a full sync with 7gb music, the Other memory number is back up to 2.23gb...
Interesting...

TS2446 If i create a new apple id account on my ipod, will i still have all my music, apps, books and other stuff on my ipod that i downloaded and bought with my old account or will i loose everything; will i be able to still do the updates to those apps?

If I create a new apple id account on my ipod, will I still have all my music, apps, books and other stuff on my ipod that I downloaded and bought with my old account or will I loose everything; will I be able to still do the updates to those apps?
I really need help!

I don't think you understood what I wrote. You don't HAVE to pay for everything if you are happy with using the other account for updates, etc. But if you don't want to do that then you will have to buy new copies of everything for the new account. There's only one purchase item per account, but you can redownload an item in the account many times.
The idea is this:
One computer, multiple devices, one Apple ID.
One user, multiple devices, one Apple ID.
The basic idea is that each user has an Apple ID under which he/she can manage multiple devices on a single computer.
Once you step outside of that model you create such problems as not being able to use or update apps purchase under one Apple ID when using a different Apple ID. Or not being able to easily sync one device on more than one computer.

Reducing app size and using memory

Building with release preference Blank App template will give you a ~200kb .exe, which in running state use ~7mb of memory.
It has a huge list of external dependencies.
So, is it possible to reduce app size and using memory?
Or, how safely unlink from app headers that really didnt used?

generally speaking premature optimization is not a good idea.
Normally those tricks we learned from stone age are picked by tools already.
(http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6215782/do-unused-functions-get-optimized-out)
So if you experice performance/optimization issue
optimization ususally goes with repeated measure -> optimize -> verify
cycles.

How to analyze the navigation flow in Oracle Portal, Number of unique users, downloads and other estastisticas of use of the Portal and Documents

Dear
Experts, I have a very exciting demand, the board of a customer.
I need to create an analytical application on Oracle Portal, UCM, Spaces, WebCenter, to inform me which quantitatively pages, url and documents are accessed.
How to analyze the navigation flow in Oracle Portal, Number of unique users, downloads and other estastisticas of use of the Portal and Documents?
I thought I'd create a ods with the data of Content Tracker and Google Analytics, and model the analysis through the BIEE.
I ask, what is the standard solution that is used in these cases?
Thank you
Miki

Cannot update my keynote, pages and numbers from my ipad. I have different accounts, one for app store and other for icloud. What can I do?

You can't merge accounts or transfer iTunes purchases from one Apple ID to another: but there is no problem about using two IDs.
Use your iCloud ID for iCloud for syncing email, contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and PhotoStream.
Use your other Apple ID as before for iTunes, iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match.
There's no conflict about doing this, and you won't even notice as Keychain will log you in with the correct ID in each case. It's also better security not to have your iTunes login also your email address, given the number of complaints about hacked iTunes accounts.

Mail.app and AB Memory Usage Growing and Growing

I've noticed this over the past week, but I don't know what could have triggered it. Both Address Book's and Mail's memory usage are growing out of control. Since I can easily not run AB much, it's not a big deal, but Mail.app is my preferred email application and I need to run it all the time.
When I start Mail.app, it's around 65M RSIZE, but if I leave it running for a few hours, it quickly balloons up to 2+GB in RSIZE. I'm sure it'd keep getting bigger if I didn't restart it.
This is with one account (Exchange) on a 6,2 MacBook Pro. I'm not currently using any plugins for Mail.app.
Any idea what might be causing these problems, how I can help diagnose it, and how I might be able to fix them?
Thanks,
Pete

My iphone has no pictures on it and my memory usage from photo library is 6.2 Gigs. How can I reset and get back this lost memory?

After resetting my phone, I re-installed apps and connected to my computer. I made sure I didn't sync any pictures. My iphone has no pictures on it, yet the memory usage on itunes AND the phone tells me that the iphoto database is taking 6.2 Gigs. Is there a way to zero that and regain that memory?

I already tried to factory default the phone and restored it. Same problem.... I have no photo's on my phone and still have 6.2 Gigs memory being used.... Pls help.

App download and music download issues

I have started having issues with downloading previously downloaded apps and some new music. I have tied the log out of account, turn off and sign back in but it still does not work. I do them all individually as well so there is no paused items. This is happening on iPad 2, iPad mini and also on my MacBook. It either says network connection refused or cannot be downloaded at this time. Most apps download fine but then 1 or 2 will have an issue. This also happens after syncing with the MacBook. They will not download even when synced. Also, the same happens with some new items of music as well, I can download an album, come back an hour later, try a new song and it won't download!!!!!!!
Please help as this is very frustrating as an intermittent problem

For "grins" I just un-checked "Sync Music", and synced my iPhone... Other Data went to zero. Re-checked "Sync Music" and synced, and only had 250Mb of Other on the iPhone. After a full sync with 7gb music, the Other memory number is back up to 2.23gb...

If you don't have the Firefox button, you're using the classic view. To restore the new view of Firefox (Changed in Version 4):
* View > Toolbars > Menubar [Uncheck]
In Firefox 6 you can use this to clear your history/other offline content:

Don't forget to hit the 'Solved it' button if this solved your problem so the topic will be closed.

Update failed causing App Store and other apps to not open anymore

HELP!!
I was trying to make a general update of OS X v10.8.2 as sugested from the App Store, but something went wrong and it showed "could'nt be updated because of a problem". Now I can't open App Store, Mail and iTunes shows a message saying "This copy of iTunes is corrupted or is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes". Only I can download anything anymore and the App Store won't even start!
can anyone PLEASE help?

See if you can download and install the OS X Mountain Lion Update v10.8.4 (Combo)
If not, restore OS X.
Restart your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys so you can access the built in utilities using OS X Recovery
From there you can restore your Mac.

Akonadi and mysqld memory usage[Solved]

After the mysql update I've noticed that mysqld for Akonadi is using more memory than before. While before I didn't even notice it for the most of the time, now it's the first biggest constant user of memory.
And I have no idea why.
How do I even troubleshoot this kind of problem?
PS.: the usage is this:
Virtual: 387M
RES: 148M
MEM% 7.4
Which increased my memory usage from arround 900-100 to 1200
Last edited by Primoz (2011-02-11 18:41:35)

Okay what I've learned is that you have to keep .config files clean. I've reinstalled Akonadi, deleted ~/.config/akonadi folder and after some problems because of it, I finally got things working and things kind of dropped a bit.
But mysqld with akonadi is still a mem hog. But I guess this is how it's supposed to be.

WinXP and Vista memory usage with Illustrator CS2 - is Vista winning?

Dear forum.
I have an AI-template file where I insert some very large PNG files into it, modifies the template a bit and then I print the the resulting document in PS-format. The PNG files may be as large as 100 MB (24-bits, approx. 100 mil. pixels in total). It appears that while a Vista-based machine has no problem loading one or even two copies of these huge files into memory, a WinXP-based machine can't even load a single file into memory. Instead, I a dialog box with the message: "Could not read the file because the plug-in could not understand this file". Is it really a faulty plug-in or is it just CS2's way of saying "not enough memory" in a quirky way?
All in all, I would like to hear whether someone has the same experience with Vista, ie. it seems to be better at memory management or better at allocating memory for Illustrator CS2, enabling it to load large PNG files.
The specifications of the WinXP-based machine:
Pentium 4 2.6 GHz
3 GB RAM
Virtual memory 4095 MB in a physically separate drive from the OS disk
All Visual Effects are turned off
Has Illustrator CS2, Adobe Acrobat 7 and Distiller installed (and a few auxilliary programs)
The specifications of the Vista-based machine:
Dell OptiPlex 740SF
AMD x2 5000 (2.6 GHHz)
2 GB RAM (667 MHz, 2 x 1 GB)
250 GB SATA disk
Windows Vista
Adobe Creative Suite 2 Standard + Adobe Creative Suite 3
Thanks!

Hi, everyone
I got a new t440p 20ANA00UHH (8GB RAM, win8 64bits) about one week ago. It works really well, but its memory usage confused me. In Task Manager, the "Performance" option shows memory is 68% (5.4G in use), but "Users" option shows memory usage 66% (1019.5M in use). Is that normal ? I just opened some websites and word files.

Can anyone help me with app download and update issue

please see attached link to thread i think i posted my question in the wrong place
https://discussions.apple.com/message/19978622#19978622

You posted in the correct forum last time and this time.
Yes if does seem as though too many users are experiencing these issues. I don't know if any of these steps will help you. At one time or another, all of these have worked for other users, so maybe one will work for you. You already tried changing the date ahead, so I didn't include that in my boilerplate response here - which you can probably find 20 times on the iPad discussion site by now.
I don't know if you have seen this one yet....
Settings>Privacy>Location Services>System Services (swipe to the bottom of the page to find this)>Location Based iAds>Off.
If the downloads are stalled or "waiting" - try these suggestions.
Or this ...
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.
If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.
