How do I find the actual size of an app? Example: a wallpaper app claims the size of 4.4 MB, but the size on my iPhone is 4.9 GB!
Some of the apps on my iPhone are much larger size-wise than claimed on their app page. Example: Wallpapers HD claims 4.4 MB, but the actual size on my phone is 4.9 GB! Pinterest & Facebook also end up being huge real estate hogs. How do I really know the size of an app? The apps don't represent themselves accurately in the app store.
I figured out that 2 of my podcast apps allow me to remove content after listening. Others don't, though.
I'm hoping some of you younger people know the answer.
Thanks,
Nana Lybbr8
The size of an app depends on two different things:
1) the size of the App (as in the App Store)
2) the size of the App Data
The App Data can really inflate the size.
If you want to see how much space an app is actually taking up, got to the Settings app under General and then tap "usage."
Unfortunately some apps don't let you delete the content. Others do.
Hope this answers your question.

I have an iPhone 4S that is a replacement of a defective 4s. When I activated the newer phone, I believe I transferred over everything except pictures (had multiple failures trying to backup and restore). Now the phone shows over 3Gb of data backed up in the cloud from my old 4s. How can I find out what is in this backup? It is preventing me from backing up my new 4s to the cloud due to the amt of data. It may be duplicated info that I don't need or I may want to archive the backup or parts of it like pictures.
You can not access the backup directly.
Did you restore your replacement from this backup?
If so then you already have everything in the backup on your device.
If not, you can wipe the device and restore from this backup:
Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content & Settings
What is it you are worried about losing that isn't already on your current device? -
If I already purchased FaceTime for Mac and recently upgraded my HD. How can I retrieve that app again? I found it in my Time Machine back up, but the files won't work. Please help.
Nope. I do the same exact thing. If you have DVD's and blu-rays you can't download a free application called Handbrake. You can set it to Apple TV2 automatic format and they will come out as playable m4v's that can play I'm iTunes. All you have to do is turn on Home Sharing in both iTunes and your Apple RV and you'll be good to go!

I need help!
I have iPad mini and I can't use App Store.
It always asking my credit card lnformation to download, but the apps I will download are free.
I don't know how it will work again.
Help me please!
Thank you.You need to have a payment method on file. If the apps are free you will not be charged anything. Either enter your credit card information or purchase and enter an iTunes gift card.

FCPX crashed and I reported it here. Tom Wolsky suggested I trash prefs, perform an fsck, reboot and redownload FCPX from the App store. The reboot was okay but Safari will not let me access the App Store to redownload FCP. I'm running 10.6.8 but the App Store icon is grayed out. I get a "Safari doesn't recognize addresses starting with macappstore."
How do I get to the App Store to get FCPX back? I'm using the Trial version now.How are you linking to the App Store from Safari? From this page?

This VI claims to be part of a library, but the library does not claim to own this VI.
I am having a reoccurring issue with "This VI claims to be part of a library, but the library does not claim to own this VI." I can work around this by disconnecting the vi from the library and then saving it back.
However, I cannot access some vi because I don't have a password. Sub-vi's are not executable and I am thinking this is due to the issue first mentioned. For example, after relinking to a library the vi in question is now having class conflicts. I cannot modify this vi to fix it.
I believe this issue is responsible for certain functionality of my project to work for months on end and then suddenly the functionality stops working. After investigating, I find that there is an issue with some .lvlib, and using a different vi from that library will solve the issue (for example, switching from standard report to html report). I think this may be related to "This VI claims to be part of a library, but the library does not claim to own this VI."
This seems to be happening since installation of version 10.
Help!

I am trying to download an app that needs 501 MB and my iPod has over 1 GB, but the App Store says that I do not have enough memory left.
Do you have a question?
That sounds right.
Most apps require more than double the size of the app available in order for installation.
Make more room. -

If your iTunes up to date? If not, updating it can help.

The App store accepts my Mountain Lion purchase and sends me a receipt, but the download never happens and is "waiting"...
Hi Why not just buy an iTunes card until your problem is sorted In uk they are £15.00 / £25.00/£50.00 Just enter readeem code into iTunes. Cheers Brian

How can I find out what is on my macbook that results in continual usage and usage charges from the satelite dish when turned on, even in the middle of the night- which doesn't happen with my other macs?
I have BusyCal installed, but no alarms that I could find.
However, I do think I've found the source of the sound: the Firefox add-on "LiveJournal." It routinely checks my LJ and plays a "ding.wav" file whenever there are new posts to my Friends' page. I noticed that the sound started happening more frequently, but after I closed Firefox, it stopped. But since Firefox didn't have any sound/notification settings on its own, I thought to check the extensions, and voila!
I'm pretty sure the problem is solved, but who knows if the sound will mysteriously return...

I bought a new iMac. All photo's from the old iMac are on my iPod. The old iMac had a problem, due to which I could not transfer photo's. So I am trying to import the photo's from my iPod to my new iMac. But this does not work. The new iMac suggests to replace the content of the iPod with the content of the iMac, but I want to do just the reverse. When the iPod is connected to the iMac, the iMac seems to ignore the iPod. Probably because the iPod was first used on the old iMac ?
Photos on the iPod are not stored in standard formats, but in formats that are optimised for the space annd screen size of the device. So, unless you have specifically chosen to save full size images on the iPod - and have set up disk access for the job - then it's not going to work.
There are apps that will recover photos from iPods. Have a search on MacUpdate
But the best solution is to get the pics from your old Mac somehow.
Regards

The backup on my phone failed and I had to restore my phone. Everything came back except the ringtone I had purchased from itunes. How do I get it back?
If you previously transferred the tone to iTunes, you can sync it to the iPhone again.
If you don't see the ringtone in iTunes, you can contact the iTunes Store using Express Lane. -
I purchased at the airport last week before a long haul flight the MagSafe Airline Adappter so I couod keep working on the MacBook Air without fear of the battery running out before I had completed the necessary work. The shop assistant assured me the kit worked on all planes but......the socket on the flight, both outbound and inbound, was the normal female 2 pin/3 pin socket that I used to use for my old thinkPad. What am I doing wrong? Am I missing something obvious here
Thanks for any help you can offer.
GeoffHi CaptFred,
Thanks for taking the time to respond. I understand your point and have indeed separated them. Since sending the message I have visited the Apple Store to check the picture of the accessory in case I was missing something and I wonder if I am missing the 20mm adapter but, over and above that, I just dont see the right size/shape empower port socket in the plane seat, only the traditional 3 pin/2 pin sockets. I wonder if the salesman was selling me a pig in the poke because the Apple Store also says that it fits some commercial airlines whereas the salesman told me it worked in all flights. I suspect I will need to go to the airline companies direct to see which planes have this particualr Empower port. In the meantime I am tempted to ask for my money back. Geoff
