App sizes - stated and actual
Hi,
I was tidying up my iPad, only to be amazed at how big some of the apps installed were.
For instance, Angry Birds Seasons HD shows as being 71.7MB on the App Store, whereas it actually takes up 613.9MB of space on my iPad! Another example is Smash Cops, which shows as being only 200MB on the App Store, while it actually is 499MB. I could go on and on...
Does anyone know why this is? I can't believe that is it user data. Does the app get larger once it has downloaded and installed itself on the iPad?
All of a sudden the hard disk on my iPad seems so much smaller... Any information or ideas much appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris
Thanks!
Some more examples:
- World Factbook 2014 HD on the App Store is listed as 127MB large, whereas is actually consumes 224.5MB on my iPad
- Real Racing 3 on the App Store is listed as being 1.1GB in size, whereas it consumers 1.6GB of hard disk space on my iPad
...sllightly frustrating, as the deal-breaker is how much space on my iPad it takes up (as opposed to the size of the installer file...

If it is longer available then you can't get the app on your phone.

I downloaded the iPad2 app for Firefox, have gone into my MacBook, opened it up, set the preference, and then it wanted the numbers for the device. Where do I find the numbers?
Then I found no iPad2 listed. The information on the App Store stated that it definitely was available for iPad2, but no luck syncing it.
I do have the bluetooth up and running, but will that serve to sync? Should I go ahead and run a normal sync.Whow what a shame, I thought this iPad was going to be terrific. Guess I'll get out my trusty Cannon from now on, lots less hassle.
Thank you for the reply! -
Hi,
I am using an iPhone 5 (16GB) iOS 7.0.4.
Currently the size of the mail app is 1GB and is continously increasing, even though the advanced settings in the mail account have been set as following:
MOVE DISCARDED MESSAGES INTO:
Deleted Mailbox
DELETED MESSAGES:
Remove: After one day
INCOMING SETTINGS:
Delete from Server: When removed from Inbox
The problem that I am facing is that only a few emails reside on my iPhone as I keep deleting emails, which are also deleted from the server automatically because of the settings as above, which is perfectly fine. The emails are deleted from the Mail app and only a very few of them are visible which I have not deleted as yet, and all is fine till here. The problem is that the size of the Mail app is more than 1GB and is continously increasing, when i check the size of the Mail app in the Settings > General > Usage section.
When I search for an email that has previously been deleted from the search feature by swiping down in the main page, it still comes up in the search, and upon clicking the searched email, it takes me into the Mail app, however, the mail is not there. I have tried searching for emails which were deleted weeks ago, and they still come up in the search feature, however, they DO NOT open in the Mail app when i click them within the search feature in the main page.
Up until a couple of months ago, the size of the Mail app was about 5.2GB and at this point I had no space on my 16GB iPhone 5, therefore I resetted my phone two months ago, and after a complete reset of the iPhone 5, the size of the Mail app went back to 0.3KB (like it was brand new out-of the box); however, within a matter of two months the size of the Mail app has now exceeded 1GB and is continously increasing, as I receive alot of emails which is why I delete them on daily basis and even delete them from the Trash folder (mailbox).
I have read alot of blogs and even checked with other friends using similar settings on the same model, however, I just cant seem to figure this out. I would really appreciate if someone can help me with this issue as I dont want to have to reset it again after another 2-3 months.
There are practically only 14-15 emails on my Mail app with not alot of KBs for these emails, and the trash folder is also empty, but the size of the Mail app is still not reducing. Please help!!
Regards,
Shoaib MalikHave you tried restarting or resetting your iPhone?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
Also consider deleting and reinstalling the Mail Account in question. -
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.

Resize Video, both the file size and actual size
Hi All,
I am very new to Adobe Premiere (CS3). I have had it for a while but not needed to use until now. A client of mine has sent me a video that he wants on his website. But it’s 150M and 1280 * 720. Can anyone help me out with how I can resize both the file size and actual size to say 800 * 450 so it can stream it via the net?
Like I said very new to this,
Cheers,
Mike.The first thing you need to do is determine just what KIND of file you were sent, so you may start a project that matches the file

App Size, Cloud Symbol and Hiding
Hi everyone,
I have an 8GB iPhone 4 and I am struggling for space. By looking in the usage section, I can see for example, that Facebook has a size of 126MB plus its documents and data whereas in the App Store it's around 60MB. This continues with most of my apps being 2-3 times the size of the apps in the App Store which stacks up to a lot of memory.
I've tried deleting the apps and reinstalling them but they just come back the same size. I thought it might be to do with the cloud symbol showing that I had already downloaded it so I hid all of my apps in iTunes and now all the clouds are gone but pressing install still gives me an app twice the size.
Is there any way to change this so I can have the space I feel should be there?
Thanks!iTunes and apps stores are currently down globally. Try again later.

5.6 megabyte App size and how much data will I use if I download it???
Hi!
I want to download a 5.6 megabyte app but I have no wifi and my PC died so all I have is my 3G service at the moment. I really need to know how much of my data will be used if I download this app. It is only available today(for 24 hrs and will be gone by morning.)and I really need a reply soon. I have the 2 gig plan. I have used so far, 1066.7 of 2 gigs. I have 9 days left before the new cycle begins, so I need to make sure I can still surf the web on top of getting this app for the next 8 days. I don't want to get any overages. Thank you very much for any info anyone can give me. I am using an iPhone 4s.
Kaoru3That is correct. As long as both devices are signed into the same Kindle account, you would be able to use the app to read the books without paying again. There is a limit to how many devices you can have a book on at any one given time, though. Normally it is 5 devices. If you want it on another device and already have it on 5 devices, simply delete it from one of the other devices and you would then be able to download it to the new device.
For example, I have a Kindle account I share with my wife, daughter and my mother and father in-law. We have maybe 200-300 books in our Kindle account. Most new books we purchase can be read by all 5 of us at the same time on 5 different devices. We actually have 8 or 9 devices on the account, but are limited to having a book on only 5 devices at a time. If you have multiple people reading the same book, it is best to turn off automatic syncing to the furthest read point since different people would have read at different rates.
As to your iOS question. In our Kindle account we have old Kindles active, we have a Kindle PaperWhite active, we have iPads active, iPhones active, android tablets active and android smartphones active. You can have androids, iOS products AND actual Kindles active on the same account. -
Just needed some clarification regarding the Viewer Builder and actually publishing your App...
If someone could let me know if my understanding is correct, that'd be a huge help... So I've designed my publication in InDesign and exported the .zip file from the Folio Producer. I've created all of my certificates/splash screens/icons. Lastly, I just recently went through the steps of the Viewer Builder. I'm now at the stage of this process that requires me to purchase the $395 single edition so that I can enter the serial number in the last stage of the Viewer Builder. Now, to my knowledge, once I get the serial number, Viewer Builder will then give me access to an .ipa file and a .zip file. The .ipa file is for me to test on my iPad, and the .zip would be used to distribute to the App Store. I guess this is where I get confused... Let's say after I test the .ipa on my iPad, I don't like some part of my publication. I know how to update my own documents obviously, and I understand that I would have to export another .zip file from the Folio Producer, in turn requiring me to edit the exported folio link in the Viewer Builder. If I had to do that, would I need to purchase another single edition serial number since the original App was edited? Or would the same serial number apply since I'm editing that same App in the Viewer Builder? My next question is somewhat similar. Let's say all of the information is up to date and I go ahead and publish the App to the App Store. However, maybe a month later or some time in the future, I needed to update a phone number or email address--some little detail like that. Again, I understand that I'd have to update the export link in the Viewer Builder, but would I then need to create a new app since my app was already published? Would I then have to purchase another $395 single edition serial number just so that I can update my information? This seems to be the only thing in this whole process that I could use some clarification on so that I don't run into any surprises in the future. Any help would be great, thanks!
Hi Joshua,
When you have purchased the serial, you can rebuild your app with your updated content, as long as you use the same bundleID (applicationID), that is tied to your Apple mobile provisioning profile. The serial number is valid for a one year period.
After you have submitted your app to Apple and it has been approved, please read: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4172167#4172167

iPad App Store app said "20 updates". Attempted to update w/3G. Updated some, but now many apps say "waiting" and are frozen. I attempted to update then by attaching to computer Itunes Store. All it did was very quickly go thru the 4 steps and said, "Synched, OK to uplug." I clicked my ipad and then apps. It also said Update complete (or something like that). Now several apps on iPad are frozen and say "Waiting". Help!!
Oh a few other things I forgot.
The long winded back-ups!!!! JESSSSSSH! Although I think the latest update seems to have bit into this a bit.
Also why is it that sometimes when the iPhone is syncing it will not say on the actual iPhone that it is syncing. I see it's syncing in iTunes but the iPhone doesn't have the typical do not disconnect -syncing message!!! What's odd is I can see the new apps being updated to the iPhone and as long as I don't open any apps it will finish it's sync but the minute I open any apps the iPhone will lock-up!!! -
I have deleted hundreds of pictures, I've deleted apps, deleted emails and texts, and I've turned off and deleted backups of apps on icloud and it is still telling me that there is not enough icloud storage available for my phone to be backed up. I am supposed to do this before I go to the Apple store today to get my phone fixed. Can someone please help me? I have done almost everything.
This article explains ways to reduce your iCloud storage: Managing your iCloud storage. In addition to what's mentioned in the article, if you have lots of photos and videos attached to your text messages, these are all included in your iCloud backup and deleting them can sometimes significantly reduce the size of your backup.
If worse comes to worse, back up your phone to your computer rather than iCloud. To do this, connect it to your computer, open iTunes and go to File>Devices>Back Up and to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases. This can be used to restore your data when you get your phone back. (In fact, it's faster because you don't have to download the data from iCloud.) -
Greetings all,
I am trying to create a script to automate a PDF export process for my company for inDesign. I’m fairly new to inDesign itself and have no previous experience with javascript, although I did take C++ in high school and have found it helpful in putting this code together.
We have an inDesign template file and then use the Multi-page PDF importer script to import PDF files. We then have to export two version of each file that we import, then delete the imported file and all of the pages to reset the template. This has to be done for nearly 1000 pdf files each month and is quite tedious. I’m working on automating the process as much as possible. I’ve managed to piece together code that will cleanup the file much quicker and am now trying to automate the PDF exports themselves.
The files are sent to us as “TRUGLY#####_Client” and need to be exported as “POP#####_Client_Date-Range_North/South.pdf”
For example, TRUGLY12345_Client needs to be exported as POP12345_Client_Mar01-Mar31_North and POP12345_Client_Mar01-Mar31_South.
There are two templates built into the template file for the north and south file that are toggled easily via layer visibility switches. I need to get a code that can ideally read the #s from the imported Trugly file as well as the Client and input those into variables to use when exporting. The date range is found in the same place in the top right of each pdf file. I am not sure if this can be read somehow or if it will have to be input manually. I can put North or South into the file name based on which template layer is visible.
I am not sure how to go about doing this. I did find the following code for exporting to PDF with preset but it requires me to select a preset and then type the full file name. How can I set it to automatically use the “Smallest File Size” preset without prompting me to choose and then automatically input some or preferably all of the file name automatically? (If the entire filename is possible then I don’t even want a prompt to appear so it will be fully automated!)
PDF Export Code (Originally from here: Simple PDF Export with Preset selection | IndiSnip [InDesign® Snippets]):
var myPresets = app.pdfExportPresets.everyItem().name;
myPresets.unshift("- Select Preset -");
var myWin = new Window('dialog', 'PDF Export Presets');
myWin.orientation = 'row';
with(myWin){
myWin.sText = add('statictext', undefined, 'Select PDF Export preset:');
myWin.myPDFExport = add('dropdownlist',undefined,undefined,{items:myPresets});
myWin.myPDFExport.selection = 0;
myWin.btnOK = add('button', undefined, 'OK');
myWin.center();
var myWindow = myWin.show();
if(myWindow == true && myWin.myPDFExport.selection.index != 0){
var myPreset = app.pdfExportPresets.item(String(myWin.myPDFExport.selection));
myFile = File(File.saveDialog("Save file with preset: " + myPreset.name,"PDF files: *.pdf"));
if(myFile != null){
app.activeDocument.exportFile(ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, myFile, false, myPreset);
}else{
alert("No File selected");
}else{
alert("No PDF Preset selected");
So far my code does the following:
1) Runs the Multi-Page PDF Import Script
2) Runs PDF Export Script Above
3) Toggles the Template
4) Runs #2 Again
5) Deletes the imported PDF and all pages and toggles template again.
It’s close and much better than the original process which was almost 100% manual but I’d like to remove the Preset prompt from the PDF script and have it automatically select the “Smallest File Size” preset. and then if there’s a way to have it auto-fill in the file name so no user input is required at all other than selecting each file to import. (If there’s a way to setup a batch action for the multi-import script that would be even better!)
Thanks in advance and if there’s anything else I can provide that would help please let me know! Even a nudge in the right direction will be a big help!If you hold down the option key, it will typically show the location. Or you can often hit option-return on the file and it will reveal the file in the Finder, instead of opening it.
Final option is to open it, and just option-click the filename in the toolbar of Preview and it should show you the location.
It's probably an attachment to an email you've received. If you have Mail set to cache emails and their attachments it'll be stashed in a subdirectory of ~/Library/Mail. Which is fine. -
Just bought brand new new iMac. When browsing in Safari, sometimes the text suddenly gets super large. I'm doing nothing except reading the screen, tho I usually have my hand resting lightly on the mouse. I can get back to normal size by clicking "actual size" in View. But then it does it again a minute or two later. What gives? Something seems defective--but what?
From System Preferences, Mouse, Point & Click, Secondary click. Go to it hover over Secondary click and watch the short video sequence change it left right, left right, you will see exactly what is does. No I do not think your Mouse is defective, you simply need to take control of your Mouse finger.

In CC214 PS Why has adobe removed the "print Size Button" And why have they made the Brush preview window so small you can't see the effects to accurately adjust them?
These two things need to be remedied in their upgrades because It's become such a bother I've had to revert to older versions of PS.Yea, and it's a pain to get to. What was the rational for removing the print size button? With the magnifying glass tool selected in older versions of Photoshop you would get a button that says "print size" right next to Actual pixels, Fit Screen, Fill Screen. Now I have to go out of my way and dig for it if I want to see the print size. Of all the buttons you could have taken away, why not fill screen? I never use that.
Besides the point I just downloaded the Oct Upgrade for PS and surprise! Nothing has changed and these are two big black eyes on newer versions of Photoshop. The Brush preview window is unchanged in CC but in CC2014 it's basically worthless. If you apply a texture to a brush you can't properly see the scale of the texture, the spacing, scatter, etc...
