Capacity bar - what does the orange 'other' represent

When sycing my iPhone, the capacity bar on the bottom of the iTunes page shows a large amount of 'other' space being used (colored orange). What is 'other'?Photos, apps, music are other colors on the bar. I do not have anything else on my phone that would take up alot of space. Does anyone know what 'other' is?

Thanks that helps. It's 430 MB. I figured it was contacts but I don't think I have a lot compared to most people-- only 74. Just surprised me that it would take up so much of my space. I have 70 pictures on it which only take up 40 MG so it didn't make sense to me.

what does the orange circle with white arrows mean?

Well, I've not seen that one before. In fact I had to click on it so as to read the tiny
text, then it appeared in another window as a .png image... so I retyped it + also
supplied a .jpg of the same image of different size. Too wide: automatically scale.
Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.
...maybe this is large enough to see without clicking? It probably scaled small.
•About the actual topic in your reply, in regular size text:
{ did you upgrade from an older Mac OS X? from what?}
You mean it could not or would not boot SafeBoot?
Here's an official support topic page about it.

Could be you need to start from a boot volume, or Recovery partition to repair it.
That is a more detailed way to repair disk & repair disk permissions, unmounted.
Not sure about that SUID thing, though. It may revert after a normal startup.
Maybe someone can offer better 'ways & means'... LOL!
Good luck & happy computing!

What does the Firefox logo represent, a fox or a red panda?

Certain websites claim that the Firefox logo is not actually a fox, but a red panda.
I learn that the name firefox is another name for firefox. But does the animal in the logo too represent a red panda?

What does the category "Other" refer to when viewing Macbook's storage?

Less than two months ago I purchased a Macbook Air 13 inch. I already have about 8 gb music and 14 gb of movies. But I have nearly 17 gb of things stored under the "other" category. I can't, to my knowledge, click on this and see what this category contains.
So how can I have this much stuff in this "other" category?
What does this "other" category refer to? What kind of files are stored here?
Is it a backup of some sort? And if so, don't you have to authorize a backup because I don't believe I did, but can't be certain.
I've downloaded Adobe, Quicktime, Microsoft Office, and Vuze, but aren't these stored under Apps, not the "other" category?
This seems like a lot and I don't want to take up uncessary space.
Guidance is very much appreciated.
Thanks!

Some of that could be photos deleted from iPhoto but still present on your machine until you empty iPhoto Trash. e-mail attachments deleted from mail, but still on your machine until you empty e-mail trash, iMovie clips deleted but still on your machine until you empty iMovie Trash (all those programs do not put files into the trash can on your desktop... they have an "integrated" trash of their own that must be emptied by the user). iTunes media files that you "deleted" but did not allow iTunes to put in the trash.

What does the yellow "other" category mean when syncing my iPhone

i am trying to sync my iPhone with my itunes on my computer. there is not enough space to sync my iphone. i know i can limit the amount of music i sync but i don't understand what the yellow "other" category means and it is taking up a lot of space. please help if you know what that means

It represents something that iTunes doesn't recognize as music, videos, books, podcasts, etc. Normally, the "other" is limited to a few hundred MBs (operating system, app data, etc). If it grows to a GB or more, it probably indicates corrupted data from an interrupted sync. Sometimes adding a new song or app will clear up the problem. You can always restore from your backup to regain a normal amount of "other".
Note: During a sync, you'll see the "other" bar grow and shrink. It doesn't mean anything until the sync is finished.

What does the orange light on the power cord mean?

i have a brand new Macbook and am charging it for the second time but when I plug it in the power adaptor goes green then orange?
Anyone know what this is? i do not see anything about this online or in the manual.
thanks, mark

It means, of course, that your adapter is charging your battery. As long as you have a sufficient charge in your battery then it shouldn't matter if it is orange because that is a sign that it is charging the battery.
Are you just concerned that it is green when you plug it in and then it jumps to orange? That should not be a problem or serious concern. If it never went to green then that might be a concern.

What does an orange triangle on the file

I am using InDesign CC-2014 on Mac
I have copied a full project to the CC Desktop folders. It includes a variety of files, including an InDD book with 14 documents.
The InDesign files (.indd) themselves have all been marked with green ticks.
The folder with assets has a mix of .psd and .tif files—about 300 images in total.
Some of these (both file types) have orange triangles on the file icon.
And, the synch has now been running for about 5 days and does not appear to be moving past this point—just stalled and little wheel in the CC Synch panel is spinning--spinning
What does the orange icon mean?
Where Can I get further information for troubleshooting?
Any suggestions for how to fix this?

@Spartan707 - Please use the Log Collector tool from here Log Collector Tool to get the Core Sync logs. Email them to me at [email protected] and I will make sure the Core Sync team gets the files to investigate further. From the screen shot I do not see any obvious reason for the files failing to sync. There is this help article on why files may not sync Error: "Unable to sync files".
Bob and Peter thank you for your help.

What does the "Internal" value on the ASM Disk Group Usage Chart represent?

In OEM Grid Control, on the Automatic Storage Management Home page there is the Disk Group Usage Chart.
What does the "Internal (GB)" value on this pie chart represent? and how it has been calculated?
On one of our servers it is 13% of available ASM disk capacity.. and on another it is 0%.

Internal space is (Total MB - Free MB) from the @ DiskSpaceUsage - Total MB from the DatabaseDiskSpace usage
It is basically the space occupied by the your DB in the ASM disk space. There are few bugs related to this and need to be refined

What does the bookmark bar do? How does it work?

What does the bookmark bar do? How does it work?

You can use the bookmarks bar in Safari to have links to some sites permanently shown at the top of the screen below the address field and icons - so you just have to tap the link on the bar to go to that site as opposed to tapping the bookmarks icon and finding the link in there. So it's just a slightly quicker way to go some of your more regularly used sites

Hello again
I'm not sure if it was you or another poster where I saw this. But in the last couple of days I recall reading a response from Adobe to someone here on the forums where they were advising something about conditional content in Frame and they advised some switch in the conversion settings could be flipped so that the conditions in Frame survived the trip into RoboWorld. Was that your by chance? If so, that would explain why you suddenly began seeing this.
The only way I can fathom to coax the colors not to show is by removing all conditionals.
Cheers... Rick

When I see the usage on my iPod touch 4 they have categories for how much space is being used where. What does the "other" category contain? Like what could I delete on my iPod to get rid of the "other" category?

What is the Other on my iPhone and How to Remove It
An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB usually indicates that the "other" includes corrupted files.
First try:
"First you go settings/general/usage/music/then left swipe over music and press delete and you would think it deletes your music but it doesn't instead it deletes your other but make sure your ipod is connected to a computer while doing this"
as recommended by:
How do I get rid of "other" storage: Apple Support Communities
Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.
