How much is 500MB?

I'm on Pay as you go on the iPhone 4. When I top up £10 I get 300 Text and 500MB. Is 500MB a lot? How does it work? Say I go on Google.com is that like 100KB or whatever lol? Also how do I check like, how many text I text and how much MB I used? I don't want to go over the limit and pay extras
I'm quite new to the iPhone so bare with me

You can check your data usage on the iPhone, use the manual to find out how, it is bookmarked in Safari. I think you need to read it.
No way to see how many text messages unless your provider has this function. For me 300 would not be enough and I would quickly go over that and be paying a per text price. I would suggest you try it for a month and see how close you come and pay the overage (if necessary) for one month.

  • How much bandwidth does iChat audio chat use?

    I have a friend who has a broadband connection via a 3G/Edge cell phone connection in Europe. She has to pay for bandwidth in chunks of 500mb. Anyone have any idea how much bandwidth audio chat uses on an hourly basis.

    It's complicated by how much data you can send in Video with Audio or Audio only or text chat and by what rate then can accept it.
    iChat normally sends Audio chats at about 25kbps up to about 48kbps
    After that is a question of ding the math.
    This will give the rate that is th Max. What you will not know is how much of that is actually data measured as Download over the service.

  • How much data does a call use over 3G?

    Does anyone know how much data a call uses when using 3G?
    For example if I made a 10min call over 3G is there an easy way to estimate how much data it would use?

    I'd check my balance, make a call, then check the balance again. That should give a fair indication.
    I'm a light user and find Tesco's SIM-only deal (500mins, 500MB, 500texts) is way more than adequate for my basic mobile needs for a tenner a month. Worth considering.

  • Option to Limit How Much Phone Storage Spotify Uses

    I have a starred list that is not huge by most standards: 1700 songs or so.
    It's too large to fit in the available storage on my phone which is 4 or 5 GB (some of the files are local files which are probably a bit bigger than the low-bitrate ones Spotify uses for streaming).
    I have a Nexus 4 with no SD card slot.
    For a long time that was no problem, Spotify occasionally complained that it was out of space but most of the songs were available when in airplane mode even if some weren't, and Android seemed to enforce that it always had enough space to upgrade apps and whatnot.
    But now since I've upgraded to lollipop, Android wants to upgrade all my apps and a lot of them seem to have grown. Once available space goes below 500MB Android refuses to download app updates any more so I'm stuck without being able to update any apps.
    I'm trying to figure out how to limit the size of the storage used by Spotify and I can't find a setting in Spotify or in Android to do that.
    It seems amazing to me that neither Spotify nor Android have this capability.
    If I can't do that my only options would be to create a second "Mobile Starred" list with less songs which would be a management nightmare, or delete all of Spotify's data via Android settings, upgrade my apps, then download the Starred list again, after which Spotify would just fill up the phone's storage again immediately and I'd be back in the same boat the next time an app wants to update.
    If Android is not going to provide an option to limit how much storage is used, then Spotify should do it.
    I don't know if this is also an issue on iOS or not.

    Hey agraham.
    While perhaps not the solution you were looking for, I've just finished a Spotify web service that attempts to automate the creation of a limited-size randomly sampled playlist from a variety of sources (library and/or playlists). This would automate the creation of your  'Mobile Starred' playlist and will perhaps be sufficient for you as it was for me.

  • How much RAM should be in use while not running anything?

    Just for the heck of it, I checked the Activity Monitor with nothing else open to see how much RAM was being used. Much to my surprise, nearly 900MB of my 2GB was being used with literally every application closed except for Activity Monitor. This can't be normal...

    My Macbook Pro is also using about 1.3GB RAM with virtually everything shut down (mail, safari, ical, itunes, etc). Yet, my husbands uses only about 400-500MB with the nearly identical applications left running.
    I have 4GB, he has 2GB.
    We compared the running applications one-by-one, and mine uses nearly double his for the exact same application.
    Does a laptop use more memory if it has more memory to use?
    This really bothers me. There does not seem to be any reason for mine to be consuming more RAM when running the same small applications as his does yet I can't figure out why?
    Ahhhhh!

  • Estimating how much temp space a query will take?

    I have a query that is "SELECT * FROM some_table ORDER BY field_name DESC". some_table has an avg_row_len of 458 bytes and stats are current. There are just about 6 million rows in some_table.
    TEMP is set to 500MB and the query fails for lack of TEMP space. I show about 176MB of TEMP is presently in use, so worst case I should have 324MB free.
    So which calculation is correct for how much TEMP space is needed:
    (a) 458 avg_row_len * 6,000,000 = about 3GB of space (and DBA_SEGMENTS agrees with this rough math). That's assuming it puts the whole row into the sort.
    (b) 6,000,000 rows * 4 bytes for a ROWID (I think they're 4 bytes) = 22MB. That's assuming it sorts just a bunch of pointers to rows (which is how I thought it would work).

    Don't forget to add the length of the column being sorted to the rowid length before you multiply. A [url http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e16508/logical.htm#CNCPT89008]rowid has four pieces, not four bytes. Also check your plan, in case there is more than just the sort going on for you.
    With appropriate sort_area_size or pga target, you may reduce the need for temp. See [url http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e16638/memory.htm#i49320]pga memory management in the docs, to start.

  • How much space does tiger take up & how to make it take up less

    i recently read a post by someone claiming that tiger took 18.5gb on there ibook, and some one replied saying that apple claims you can install tiger in to 3gb.
    : is this true?
    : if so, how do you "compress" it?
    : iff not so, how much space does it take up on avarage?

    hi Axl....
    I've got tiger in ok, running fine - bought family pack and have done 3 installs without problem, so that's the good news ....
    I did a major reshuffle and toss-out of files before I installed - bought 80gb mobile external hard drive - and did install with 5+gb free, so after it had about 3gb free, then all of a sudden I went down to less than 1gb
    I've been in a hunt for more files to throw out (a nice find were the old ipod updaters that were eating 500mb) ....
    If I want to throw out most of the language files (for instance) ... where are they ? (I did search for danois and found nothing, so .... buried ?)
    any other suggestions for things to throw away .... I've pretty much eliminated 90% of all things classic, for instance ....
    and - do you have ideas for why space seems to disappear so fast .... I'm not doing anything special, but wham, 2gb flies away to ???
    thanks

  • How much space does the 4th gen iPod touch 8GB actually have?

    I'm considering buying the new 4th gen iPod touch but am not sure whether to get 8GB or 32GB (wish they had 16GB). My 2nd gen iPod is 8GB, but only has 6.8GB available according to the about tab. I'm down to about 500MB, and am about to import 1GB of music. I'll pick and choose for now (70% I don't listen to anyways). But does anyone know how much available space there actually is for the new 4th gen iPod touch 8GB (I know 32GB is plenty big )?
    If it's not worth it, I won't buy it, but mine is having a few problems and I would like a new one that I know is fine instead of refurbished w/ the battery needing replaced (and a camera would be nice).

    I do use it a lot for games...they tend to be larger files. My songs are whatever my dad buys and whatever I buy. Once I import this big batch of songs I will be at 700 songs and then will only add more when Dad or I buy them. I make a lot of money for a high schooler but my mom doesn't like how much I spend on iTunes (she's not into music the way I am). I don't want to have to pick and choose on which apps I have on my iPod. Songs, I can pick and choose if necessary. I just hate running low on available space.

  • How do I find how much space specific documents, applications, music files, etc. are taking up on my hard drive?

    I checked out my hard drive and found it is getting rather full.  Disk Utilities gives me an overall picture of how much disk space is being used and how much remains, but I'd like to find out which individual files may be hogging space.  The Finder window doesn't give that individual information.  I can find out how much space each item takes by clicking info on each, but there must be a more efficient way of finding this information simply by clicking on folders.

    Not free but this is one option.

  • I recently managed to get the whole casing of my 13" Macbook Pro (Mid-2009) replaced due to a missing foot and dodgy spacebar. The lid is dented and scratched so would like to know how much it would cost to replace? I know its not covered by AppleCare.

    So i took my Macbook Pro 13'' (Mid-2009) into Apple because the spacebar was jammed and I had one of the feet of the bottom casing missing which was unusual (black circles). The unibody and bottom plate had a fair few dents and nicks and under AppleCare I was able to get the whole unibody and bottom case fixed for free. Saved myself a good £181!
    This now leaves my lid which has one or two noticeable dents and the bottom right part is suffering from several scratches. I was wondering how much a new lid would cost if I took it into Apple? I know it won't be covered under AppleCare as its accidental damage but want to know whether its worth paying for to have a once again dent free Macbook Pro .
    As a side note, do Apple upgrade your hardware at all, such as the hard drive or memory? I know it would be cheaper to do it at an independant computer shop or by myself but would like to explore my options first.

    I have IMac OSX 10.9.4, 4GB,Processor 3.06 with Intell2Duo. I would like to check for Malware. I run a TechTool Pro 6 every month and that comes up great.
    When check how much memory I am using, with only Safari open I am using 3.9 and more of her 4.0 memory. She is very. very slow in processing. I had 4000
    trash to clean out and it took her over an hour to expel. Also for some reason Safari will not allow me to click on a link, in my G-mail, and let it go to the page.
    It has a sign saying a pop-up blocker is on and will not let me do it. I must open the stamp to look at my e-mails and if I have redirected link now I can do it.
    I have not changed my preferences so where is this pop-up blocker?
    I have looked at preferences on Safari and Google, which I do not understand Google, and do not see where this blocker could be.
    Malware is something I want to make sure is not on my computer. Tech Tool Pro 6 is all I know of and it does not detect Malware.
    Help.
