Thanks gor replying,,,this is my first time on this site.
Any idea why the "other" continues to increase. I have just got got my mac so no new apps installed yet only been using it for mail and web browsing. I tried the iphoto mail last night and noticed the the "other" section had increased by 1GB which I thought was rather larger. Do you know what this setion actually does ?
Also do you know if it is possible to delete the iphoto emails.
All of your 'stuff' that is not Music Movies Apps Backups or Photos is in Other, that means all your emails, all your files etc, why don't you just leave well enough alone, this is not windows and doesn't need tinkering with,

    Can anyone explain what the 'other' storage consists of and how I can decrease the size please?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    "Other" refers to OS X files, caches, downloads, documents. See Other in this website > http://pondini.org/OSX/LionStorage.html
    I would not worry about Other because they contain files that you need, but if you want to decrease the size, start deleting downloads and documents

    Whilst I'm at work I can't seem to connect to the internet, despite the home screen telling me I have a 3G connection.  I can't get anything to refresh at all, until I go home and my phone auto connects to the WIFI and then I get all my emails and app notifications come through in a flood.

  • Itunes and all my movies have disappeared,i can no longer add to library from my external hdd which ive always used and can only add from the laptops own hard drive,any ideas what the issue could be?

    ive recently updated, itunes and all my movies have disappeared,i can no longer add to library from my external hdd which ive always used and can only add from the laptops own hard drive,any ideas what the issue could be?if i transfer the movies from the external to the laptop they will add to the library without any problem so theres no issue with the laptop but when i go to add file in itunes i can path to the external but as soon as i select the file nothing happens, just goes back to itunes

    This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
    Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

  • When trying to sync my iphone in itunes i keep getting the error message "itunes cannot sync apps because the apps installed on the iphone could not be determined." can anyone explain what this means?

    when trying to sync my iphone in itunes i keep getting the error message "itunes cannot sync apps because the apps installed on the iphone could not be determined." can anyone explain what this means?

    I received the same error message after I had recently updated iTunes to 10.5.1 and I had wirelessly updated 13 apps.  I had to go into iTunes and select Apps, on the bottom right it said I needed to update 13 apps.  I updated the apps via iTunes and then synced again without an issue.

  • I recently updated my IOS software on my IPAD with the latest version and now video from some sites does not run. I did not do the update on my other IPAD and the video runs fine. Any idea why.

    I have an IPAD 3 and recently updated the IOS software with the latest version and now video from some sites will not display where it did prior to the update. When I go to those same sites on my other IPAD that I did not do the softward update the video still works. Any idea why and what to do to fix it?

    Try this  - Reset 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. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

  • Can anyone explain what a condition type means in pricing.

    Hi,
    Can anyone explain what a condition type means in pricing. And how to create condition type and how it effects Pricing conditions.
    As I am new to this area. Detailed explanation is highly appreciated.
    Thanks a lot,
    Rasheed

    Hello Rasheed,
    Below mentioned are the few important things related to pricing.
    - You first define Condition Tables .
    - Define Access Sequence and assign condition tables to it.
    - Define Condition Type and assign Access Sequence to it.
    - Now define Pricing Procedure and assign Condition Type to it.
    - Now you define Pricing Procedure Determination using Sales Org, Distribution    Channel ,Division,Document  Pricing Procedure and Customer Pricing Procedure which are the key fields.
    The above steps can be done in SPRO.
    -Now maintain the Condition Records(for eg:For the specific material what is the cost or for a specific customer what is the cost of the specific material etc) using Txn:VK11.
    - Once you maintain the Condition Records , you can reflect the same values in Condition Type in SPRO.
    Hope this information is helpful for you to relate Condition Type in Pricing,
    Please reward with points if this information is helpful for you.
    Regards,
    Shanthala.

  • Can anyone explain me the lovrelation function

    Hi to all,
    Can anyone explain me the lovrelation function. I tried this but i got an error "The LOV relation that you are trying to add is invalid."
    This is lov relation code,
    lov.addLovRelations(pagecontext, " ", // base pageitem
    " ", //lov item
    LOV_CRITERIA, //direction
    LOV_REQUIRED_NO )
    in this method what is base page item and lov item?
    I think i made mistake on this so that i got error (i guess)
    Anyone know plz explain me. Its Urgent.
    Thanks in Advance
    Senthur

    Use this method....
    addLovRelations(OAPageContext pageContext,
    String baseItemName,
    String lovItemName,
    String direction,
    String required
    May be it is useful for you....
    pageContext - application context for the current page and browser request
    baseItemName - ID of the item in the base page that takes part in the new LOV map
    lovItemName - ID of the item in the LOV Region that is mapped to the corresponding baseItemName for this LOV map
    direction - relation between the baseItemName and the lovItemName. Can take one of the three values:
    LOV_CRITERIA - from base page to LOV Region. Managed by OA Framework.
    LOV_PASSIVE_CRITERIA - from base page to LOV Region programmatically. Managed from the LOV Controller.
    LOV_RESULT - from LOV Region to base page
    required - LOV_REQUIRED_YES or LOV_REQUIRED_NO. If LOV_REQUIRED_YES, the baseItemName is a mandatory criteria and should contain a non-empty value when direction is LOV_CRITERIA or LOV_PASSIVE_CRITERIA. Does not apply when direction is LOV_RESULT.
    Thanks

    3. Is it mandatory to know JAVA language to sustain with NW technologies? or ABAP itself is enough ?
    Its all depend in which stack you want to fit. If you want to go into EP, then JAVA is must. In XI having knowledge of JAVA will be highly useful and in other Netweaver stack it will be an added advantage. Anyhow ABAP is not enough to sustain with NW technologies.

    4. If JAVA is essential ...where to start with ?
    Core JAVA, J2EE in full is needed for Netweaver. As where to start is concern you can start with core JAVA and consequencely go thorugh J2EE.
    I hope this will help you out.

  • Since syncing with iCloud all my photos in my photo app are much lower resolution than they were before. Can anyone explain what happened an how I might get back my high resolution photos?

    Since syncing with iCloud all my photos in my photo app are much lower resolution than they were before. Can anyone explain what happened an how I might get back my high resolution photos?

    Thanks again.
    Unfortunately I don't have iPhoto (running Windows).
    I did, however, figure out a work-around.
    I created an empty directory on my computer, and told iTunes to "Sync Photos from..." that empty directory. This deleted all the photos from the iPod (go figure).
    I then set the "Sync Photos from..." dropdown back to directory that actually contained all my photos, and sync'd again.
    And, yes, they all loaded onto the iPod at their better, higher resolution.
    Thanks for all your help. Photos (and wallpaper) are perfect, again
