How did I get 84 gigs of other? What is it? How do I get rid of it?

I was trying to download some music. I wanted to see how much space I had. I noticed there is 84 gig of other. What is it? How do you get rid of it?

It's what does not fit into the other five catagories.
Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
1. See Lion's Storage Display.
2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
6. See The Storage Display.
You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located.

I have 3.5 gigs of "other" what is it and how do i get rid of it?

On my itunes when my iphone is pluged in it says that i have now 3.9 gigs of "other" what is it and how do i get rid of it?

Other is data that does not fit into the rest of the catergories listed on the summary tab. This includes user data and app settings/data.
3.5 GB is a lot... and typically indicates corruption.
You can try a reset of the device and re-syncing, sometime this will clear it up... but typically the resolution is to restore the device from backup first. If that doesn't resolve a restore as new will.
Other should be in the range of 300-800mb.

My apple hard drive has 450 gigs of other what could that be? and how could I go about deleating some of it?

How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.
 Cheers, Tom

The font must either be installed normally on your system, or it can be placed into a Document Fonts folder in the same folder as the .indd file and it will be available for that file for editing.

Why did Oracle get rid of iSQLPlus?

This is a question for Oracle. Why did you get rid of iSQLPlus without replacing its capbilities? Both SQL Developer and APEX are for developers, but the end user no longer has a web-based method for running SQL queries. What are they to use if they are unable to have the client installed on their server and are not allowed to logon to the Oracle server in order to useSQL Developer's query abilities? How can an administator limit an end-users APEX permissions to query-building only?

I'm not Oracle, so I won't even give opinions on your question. some advice however - ask your last question on the APEX forum.

Why did Adobe get rid of 'No Color Management' option in CS5

I use this option (in earlier CS verisons) when printing digital negatives on transparency film on my Epson 3880. There are a few work-arounds, including a printer utility from Adobe (which only works on tIff files, so it's limitied).
But why, oh why did they get rid of this option in the first place. Did someone just decide, gee, I don't think that's a feature we want anymore in our program, so, puff, it's gone? I hate it when program 'updates' make my work harder instead of easier.

Can you prove this with a supporting document?
Nope...I was told this by engineers familiar with the initiative...

ACPU and for that matter i1Profiler sends print image data (untagged I assume) through ColorSync and the print driver the exact same way as Lightroom and PSCS5 do when Application Manages Color is selected when printing. The only difference is that LR and PS do not allow you to send untagged image data.
ACPU does send the untagged data through Colorsync, but the image data gets converted by Colorsync or ACPU to the printer profile chosen in the print driver as set up in the Print window of ACPU...so, since the document is in the final profile space of the printer, the print driver does nothing (null transform). Then you choose don't manage color in the driver. Exactly how ACPU works with Colorsync to avoid having Colorsync to an unwanted color transform isn't clear (would have to ask the engineer that wrote it), ACPU is clearly doing SOMETHING different than Photoshop and Lightroom when sending the image data to the printer.
You can see what profile gets embedded when printing from ACPU by setting up the driver and saving a PDF and opening in Photoshop. When I printed to PDF from ACPU after setting up the driver to use Epson Glossy paper on an Epson R3000, the embedded profile in the PDF was SPR3000 Premium Glossy. Which if sent to the printer should result in a null transform. This is similar to the CS5 work around to tag an image with a color space and have that same color space set in Photoshop Manages Color and set the Printer Profile color space to be the same thus bypassing the Colorsync "generic RGB" transform. However, that work around no longer works with Photoshop CS6 (we were warned that this might happen BTW).
I haven't tried it yet, but it's possible that you could still work around this in CS6 if you take an untagged target, assign the printer profile, then use Photoshop Manages Color with the profile being the same printer profile and then in the driver set do not color manage...actually, scratch that–I just tried that and CS6 pops a warning that "No Color Managment is not supported" when trying to print without the proper color management and to get ACPU with a link to download it. I guess Photoshop got pretty serious about disallowing this sort of printing. Heck, you can't even print to PDF.
On the other hand, the simplest solution for me is to simply print out the target using i1Profiler...

Why did Apple get rid of the DVD slot in the MacBook Pro

Why did Apple get rid of the DVD slot in the MacBook Pro?

Because relatively few people used it and Apple wanted to decrease the size/price of the computers.

When and why did they get rid of the emac?

When did they get rid of it? What for?

It stopped being visible on the main retail store upon the release of the latest iMacs. I have no answer to why.
You can always find used and refurbished eMacs. And they may also still be available on educational stores. Since I'm not a college student or k-college educator, I can't check those stores to tell for certain. Remember, when it was initially released it was only available on educational stores.

Why did Appel get Rid of the YouTube app in iso 6

Why did Appel get Rid of the YouTube app in iso 6. Does anyone know where to get the original YouTube app that was on the iPad?

You cannot download the original YouTube app. There is an iPhone version in the App Store but its not the same. Google is reportedly working on an iPad YouTube app.
This may enlighten you.

HT5510 Why did apple get rid of gifting in iOS 6?

Why did apple get rid of gifting in iOS 6? I did all my app gifting from my iPhone and iPad. I have to say, I will probably gift less since it's way less convent now.

Then you and the other people to whom you refer were contributing to "backscatter" and possible relaying of spam/viruses. Not to mention that you were providing a test bed for spammers to test mail servers and addresses.
Bouncing is similar to auto reply. Email could get caught up in infinite loops. These actions should only be configured at the server level not in an email client.
Short example: A spammer sends you an email using my return address. You bounce the email. I get your bounce and have set up my own bounce. You get the email back from my bounce. You bounce it back to me, you get the picture.

Did Apple get rid of podcast app on the ipod

My podcast app disappeared from my ipod without me deleting it. Did Apple get rid of it or is something wrong with my ipod.

What happens when you try to redownload it?
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
have yo tried using the Spotlight search? Maybe you just can't find it.

How did we get rid of global transaction problem

All,
Using connection obtained Weblogic XA driver Pool to perform ANY sql operations
is not allowed in any NonTx methods.
In our case we were doing some select queries in ejbCreate/ejbPassivate... etc.
This always resulted in "Not in global transaction".... It was interesting to
note that for these methods container sets Not Supported transaction attribute
irrespective of what you define for them. EJB 2.0 prohibits the use of transactional
attrribute for these methods anyways.
So anybody something like that could do the same workaround we did. Use another
pool non-Tx and perform any sql opertations in Non-Tx methods using that pool.
Cheers and Best Regards.

Where did you get it from. If purchased from a store, take it back there. If purchased from apple.com, then contact them about a return.

Why the **** did apple get rid of the dark keyboard for iOS 7.1?!

Apparently Apple was going to install a dark keyboard for the iPhone, but decided to get rid of it. What the ****! Does anyone know why?

They DIDN't! It's STILL THERE, but at present YOU AREN't allowed to use it! It exists in at least two instances, only one of which I KNOW what I was doing when I stumbled upon it, signing in with my Apple ID and password to the AppStore!
Before I get into details, I suppose it could also be replicated by seeing if one could sign in with a secondary Apple ID on any given device as well..
Details that may be specific to this versus everyone else that made this happen and stand out:
I DID NOT sign in when setting up, because quite frankly, I DON'T "want" my devices, data, bookmarks and such all cloud synchronized and changed so as to be uniform across ALL devices, because it's of NO USE to me! I use diddle rent devices for different things and thus have some set up with just a few bookmarks. Don't WANT home sharing, or sir play and know how to back my own things up.
If this "makes sense to you" or "isn't exactly how that works" IS NOT the issue, I'm simply explaining why for the next part below for possibly replicating this should anyone want proof they can perhaps do on their device as well.
So when I went to get some other web browsers at the AppStore, I had to sign in, because in general web browsers have Age Restricted Content Warnings.., AND THERE IT WAS! I didn't think quickly enough to screen capture it, but it IS there, as a "secured keyboard" or something TOO SPECIAL FOR YOU!
If this is a "one time thing when you sign in an account", I don't know.
If this is something that a more adventurous person who enabled Developer Options (which I think is done while connected yo a computer and iTunes, Google it if you care) might be able to enable on their own, I don't know.
I just know that I HAVE had it come up at least twice, and that it seems to be "reserved" for a "special purpose keyboard" for some reason.
And the other instance it showed up during was some swiping that I think brought up the app switcher/kill screen with some sort of a search bar. But however that one happened WAS random.
And returning to something a bit less snarling and foam flecked because, as stated, "just all users here"

Why did you get rid of the track option in ALL Revel apps?

I am a subscribed Revel user that was once happy with what Revel offered but NOT anymore. I organize my photos inside albums by events. Why? Because that is the ONLY organization available from Revel without creating thousands of albums. So why did you COMPLETELY get rid of viewing albums by track? I can't see my tracks, or events, in albums on iOS or on the Mac (because of the new update) and definitely not on the web. What's up? When will this be coming back? Every update that has come on Revel has been a HUGE disappoint, lets not even mention the failing to update fiasco. I am ready to switch applications and void ALL of the work I have done putting ALL my photos into Revel. Help me out here please. Somebody please get back to me and let me know what to expect or change or if I do need to be looking somewhere else for better more reliable photo storage.

What I am actually refering to is the "track" view inside of the albums. Track view exists in the "collection" option or the file drawer option on all Apple apps, iPad, iPhone, and the Mac, but the track option that once existed when looking at individual albums is no longer there on ANY device.
