  • What does "74559.emlx" couldn't be copied to "Messages" because there isn't enough space, really mean?  How do I find out what is taking up so much space?

    Help!!  I am trying to figure out what "74559.emlx" is.  I was delating a email message when this poped up!?  I higlighed the message and then hit the delete button. 
    I understand that my computer is full, so now I am trying to move this over to an external hard-drive, how do I know if it's been moved or just copied?  How can I see what is on the computer and how "big" it is? 
    Sorry for all the questions, ANY help is much appreciated!!!

    "Other" is everything that isn't in one of the other categories. For instance, it includes all your user documents that are not movie, audio, or photo files.
    Regardless of that, you need to use an external drive at least large enough to backup your entire user folder (the one with a House icon). Better is to get one at least as large as your built-in drive & use something like Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper! to clone the whole built-in drive to it.

  • How do I find out about apps for my business

    How do I find out about potential apps that exist but that I don't know of yet

    Hey,
    What I would recommend doing is contacting the local Apple Store in your area. All Apple Retail Stores have specialized business teams that hold free workshops on using the iPad for business and have lots of knowledge about business applications/uses. Give your local store a call and ask for the business team!
    Hope this helps =)

  • How do you find out about Kernel panics?

    Can anyone please explain to me how does one find out about Kernel panics, where to look etc? Thanks and regards

    When the operating system kernel, one of the most basic, foundational levels of the Mac OS X operating sytem, detects some kind of exceptional condition or internal corruption or when the hardware sends it a signal of some grave error, which can be a bug in the system software or a driver or can be a hardware problem and the situation is not one that can be dealt with and continuing operation is impossible, then the kernel "panics." It does it's best to shut down gracefully, but it's an abortive termination of all system activity, after which a reboot usually takes place (though you're notified and must intervene before that happens).
    It is a serious error and should not occur, but computer technology, both hardware and software, being what they are, there's no way to absolutely guarantee they won't happen. Unix-based systems such as Mac OS X have pretty good reliability, especially since Apple controls both the hardware and software. Still, 3rd-party software can be incorporated into a system, and Apple does not control or certify that code, so there's ample opportunity for poorly written add-ons (especially hardware drivers) to cause problems.

  • How do i find out what is taking up the most space on my phone?

    I have the Iphone 4s and am having trouble syncing.  It keeps telling me i have gone over the space limit.  Is there a way to find out what is thaking up the most space?  there used to be a bar on the bottom of the screen that told you how much space audio took, pictures, extra space was avalible, etc. but i dont see anything like that now.

    Plug your device to your computer and open iTunes. There click on your device and it appears at the bottom how much space is each group of items usin (video, audio, music, photos, others...).
    Hope that helps.

  • HT1206 How do I find out an OLD password from 2006-2008. I have 3,000 pieces of music purchased from iTunes during those years that cannot be authorized because I cannot remember the password from that era. What can I do?

    How do I find out an OLD password from 2006-2008. I have 3,000 pieces of music purchased from iTunes during those years that cannot be authorized because I cannot remember the password from that era. What can I do?

    If you can't remember your password or security answers and don't have access to the email address (you didn't have a rescue email address on the account ?) then you can try contacting Support in your country and seeing if you can get the password reset and access to the account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699 (they should also be able to reset the security questions)
    If you can then update the primary email address on the account to be an address that you have access to.

  • How can I find out my data usage for the past 3 months?

    Greetings all, I have been a long time Verizon customer, and as such I, along with my husband, was grandfathered into the unlimited data plan. When I last spoke to a representative, they informed me that the only way we were going to be able to keep our unlimited data was by paying the full retail price ($600+) to get a new phone. So we were considering upgrading and changing to one of the newer data plans so we could still get the discounted price on the new phone, but I would like to make sure I choose one with enough data, without paying for a bunch of data that I don't use, however MyVerizon only shows me the amount I have used since the start of the billing cycle. Is there a way to find out the data usage for both my husband and myself for the last 3 months so I can choose the right option?
    Thanks in advance for your help!

        Hello sweetpea1221! How exciting that you're considering upgrading with us. mrhelper is helpful, indeed. You can view your data usage for each line under the View Bill option via your My Verizon account. You can also view your 3 month average  data usage with our Account Analysis feature. Here's a link that will be helpful in doing so http://bit.ly/vnLjqO. I'm confident that we have a great plan to match your data needs. Please let us know if you have further questions.

  • How do you find out about new VoD videos

    Quick question for FiOS TV users - how do you (personally) find out about new on-demand videos?
    Do you rely on the Spotlight email, or the trailers playing in the VoD store-front, or mail inserts etc? Keen to hear what everyone thinks works best!
    Thanks,
    Rich

    Here is one suggestion for you.

  • How do I find out about iPhoto sales and promotions?

    I randomly happened to print a book in iPhoto about a month ago, and it told me that there was free shipping due to the Mother's Day holiday.  How can I find out when these sales or promotions are happening so that I could do this on purpose?  (You'd think that it would be easy to find a way to sign up for spam like this, but I've looked for an hour and can't find any indication that Apple wants me to know about their sales.)

    Haven't seen any such promotions in years and there is no such email address ever mentioned here. There is a link to contact Apple at the bottom of every page, on the right, perhaps someone there can help.

  • Film won't render. Error is like: error in frame 3490. How do I find out what is wrong? How can i find the frame numbers?

    Hello
    Who can help me? I made a movie in Final Cut. Not a special one, some text and that's all. With scenes from mu Sony camera, I imported. When i want to share the movie (to facebook, youtube, or masterfile), it won't work. It loads upto 57% or so and that it quits, and gives error code:
    the operation could not be completed because an error occurred when creating frame 3490 (error -1).
    And now? I can't find framenumbers? How can i find out what's wrong. I tried everything. The film plays well in playback. I just can't make a filmfile.
    Xandra Storm

    Like Tom said, you can locate the offending frame by switching in Preferences->General the Time Display to "Frames" (that is how it looks in 10.1; I believe that in older versions the same preference might be in Edit or Playback preferences, I can't recall exactly).
    When this error occurs, it can usually be solved by deleting render files, or by replacing the clip where the problematic frame happened.
