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

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,

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.

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.

Shanthala.

Yes I read your reply. Your reply though, simply copied the text from the documentation which I already stated I did not understand. I was looking for a clearer explaination.

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

Can anybody explain what is support for ADF Project and to solve the Issues

Hi,
I am new to ADF and i am currently associated to ADF Support Project.
Can anybody explain what is support for ADF Project and to solve the Issues when the ADF Project is in Live.
we are getting the Tickets for the Issues.
Thanks in advance.

I agree with Timo.
It depends on the size of the project, user base, technologies, etc. We use lot of technologies in fusion middleware stack. We get tickets in many areas.
In your case, it could be anything like user training issues (user may not know how to use the some system features), browser issues like blank screen, bugs in code like JBO errors (failed to validate, another user has changed row, failed to lock the record, NullPointerException, IllegalArgumentException etc), business logic issues, page may not render properly, performance issues, partial commit issues, application server issues, authentication issues. If you use web services you might get web services related problems.

What is the 'other' on my iphone and how do I delete it?

What is the 'other' on my iphone and how do I delete it?

Solution
My "other" partition was up to 25G !!!! on my iphone 4S and I didn't want to restore my phone as I would loose important SMS and info on it and re-arrnage 1000 apps again.
I found this link and followed the steps
http://www.ipodrepublic.com/iphone/fixing-issue-other-files-iphone-memory/2010/0 3/31/#comment-47142
Using that program suggested was free too. I used it straight away after downloading it. I removed my files in
"media Folder". These 3 folders was where I found the solution.
- Music - all the "F" files
- ApplicationArchives - all the big stuff
- Recordings - all currupt M4a in there
Vola! My phone now has 25GB back!!!!! Other is just 26 killo bytes! yes Killo bytes!
Hope that helps
Cheers

Have an IMac 7.1, desktop system 10.4.11, 2.8 GHz, 4MB, 4GB. what can I upgrade to? What do I need to buy and how high can I go?

Have an IMac 7.1, desktop system 10.4.11, 2.8 GHz, 4MB, 4GB. what can I upgrade to? What do I need to buy and how high can I go?

You can replace one of the 2 GB RAM sticks with a 4 GB stick for a total max. RAM of 6 GBs.
Here are the specs.
Maximum Memory
6.0 GB (Actual) 4.0 GB (Apple)
Memory Slots
2 - 200-pin PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMM
Purchase reliable Mac RAM from online vendors Crucial or OWC (Other World Computing).
The highest OS X version you can go is OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion.
First, though, you need to purchase a retail disc version of OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard in order to download upgrade to OS X 10.8.
Purchase OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard here.
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Use Software update, in OS X Preferences Pane to update to the latest version of OS X 10,6 Snow Leopard before upgrading OS to 10.8 Mountain Lion.
OS X 10,6.8 will install the Mac App Store icon in OS X's Application Dock.
From there, you can launch the Mac App Store and download and install OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion.
Use Sofware Update again to update to the latest version of Mountain Lion.
Be advised, you may want to play around in OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard before updating to OS X 10.8 Mt. Lion.
Some users aren't happy with the Hybrid OS X/iOS functionality of OS X 10.8 Mounatin Lion.
If you upgrade to OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion and aren't happy with it, the only way to return to OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard is wipe the internal drive, reformat it, then reinstall OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard.
You might want to consider purchasing an external FireWire hard drive, format it so you can install OS X 10,6 Snow Leopard and all of its updates onto the internal drive, use a copying/cloning app like Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper to make a duplicate of your internal drive to the external FireWire drive as a backup that you can reinstall onto your internal drive just in case you find you are not happy with the look and functionality of OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion.
Good Luck!

Hi
Local classes are the classes which we declare and use using the SE38 ABAP editor
Global classes are the classes which we find in SE24 and call the methods of them into our program.
see the sample code

Where is the Patterns pop-up menu, and how do I make the little ?

Where is the Patterns pop-up menu, and how do I make the little crapper pop up? (huh. They don't have and emoticon for furious.)
I have been searching the "Help" system for hours. All I want to do is find a picture of an empty blue sky to put behind two airplanes.

From the Toolbox, select the Paint bucket tool
In the Paint bucket options at the top, change from "Foreground" to "Pattern".
Click on the Pattern block to the right and the Pattern dialog will pop up.

Media Encoder -- Audio -- Advanced Settings -- Precedence -- What is the difference between the two options presented here and how does it effect the final file?

I see no literature in any of the manuals that explains this option -- what is it exactly and how does it work?

Um...have you compared when specifying v = 0x0FFFF, as an arbitrary example?
Edit All right I'll be a little more specific. How the heck would your Test1 method know if it's only being passed int values <= 255?
Edited by: endasil on Nov 6, 2007 8:48 PMI see, well, why would it care? all it does is take int and store it into a byte. what else could it do with an int and byte array? Also, if you wanted to check for values <= 255 one could simply add asm code to do that, after all, Test2.test2() has a signature of ([BI) that is (byte[] ba, int v). So, if the method wants to fool around with v* it can iload_1* and do any comparison tests, ifeq* etc..., and latter stuff it into byte array using bastore* without the unnecessary i2b* call.
I just don't see the use of the i2b* instruction if bastore* could careless. Will this cause the stack to become unlined and cause trouble program down-the-line in execution? I am thinking that I loaded an int*, +4bytes+, but only consumed 1byte. But now that I think about it, iload_1 loads an int* onto local heap so it should get cleaned up when the program exits. So, as long as I made bastore* the last instruction in the program I shouldn't have a problem. Or maybe this doesn't matter either?
*Also, since ba is an byte[] why would I want to check it for anything other than a byte value? if I wanted to get an int I would have created an int[]*
My point is that as long as one wants to stuff an int into a byte array the i2b instruction is overkill, albeit not much, and I just do see the usefulness of it.
This is for when I do something like, byte_array[i] = '-', and the compilers say loss of information and I cast '-' to (byte)'-', meaning I don't care if I loss any information. but it called i2b anyways byte_array[i] = '-' yields the same result.
I just didn't understand what was behind this.
Does that answer that question or am I missing anything?
