How to free up memory on iPhone

I have the usual iPad, mini iPad and iPhone5. I am trying to take pictures but I have no space available. I have a lot of music and looking to remove some as this has taken up several gigabiytes of space ( 9.3 of 13.3 GB). How do I do this as it still shows 0 available having removed over 100 songs.

How To Free Up Memory On iPhone 6

Two questions:
1. On this screenshot, it shows that I have 2.25 GB (1119 photos), but I really only have 28 photos on my phone right now. How do I know where the rest of the 1,000+ photos are, because I have not synced any from my iPhoto or elsewhere to this phone? I have not used my iCloud at all, so nothing is synced there as well. I would like to free up some space because I really do not have that many pictures on my phone.
2. Does anyone know what goes on "Other"? It's not the music, apps, ibooks, tv shows, podcasts, movies, etc. It's 3.72 GB of space that I would like to manage as well.
Appreciate any help. Thank you!

Had 5 simultaneous errors at READ DMA EXT. (I don't know what that means). I don't see all the windows that the web site shows. I guess that is for purchased downloads.
I'd like to reinstate MobileMe's Backup function. Apple says it will work until June so that I could back that up until I get the backup hard drive. I was in the store last week; iCloud will not work on my computer.

How to free up memory to play game ?

I recently tried to install a game via dvd, but then got the message that I had "0 mb...and need to free up memory" to play the game
yet I have recenty added memory and have over 500 mb available, according to the system.
do I need to drag the game icons to the hard drive? seems like I have enough memory, but when the game file appears it says " 0 mb" at the top of the file. or do they mean Ram?
I am a first-time mac user, love the forum, and would appreciate any suggestions
thanks to all

The game likely needs to be installed from the DVD onto your iBook's hard drive. Obviously, you will need to check the specs of the game to see how much space is recommended by the game maker for the game to run and run efficiently.
500 megabytes likely isn't enough to run a game. This is the space on your iBook's hard drive, correct, and not the disc itself?

How To Free Up Memory (RAM) N95(ninety-five)

Does anyone have a sugestion on how to free up some ram, apart from closing running aps?

Ngage and music store will only eat RAM you cannot say that to increase efficiency to memory management. Features are always here to eat RAM:d
Right now, I guess the demand paging application will DEFINITELY be a good solution to increase RAM. I hope existing N95-1 will get this.
Besides, my lil advice always clear the cache of the web browser and use a task manager that will monitor the currently running apps in background.

How to free allocated memory

As we all know in java the memory allocated for an object is freed automatically when there is no reference for that object exist. and there is no operator in java to free the memory explicitly like delete() in c++.
But i want to free the memory allocated for the object in java for my project.
but i dont know how to do this.
Any idea abt this?

Edited by: ghanoz2480 on 10 Mei 09 6:58From your link:
"Calling the gc method *_suggests_* that the Java Virtual Machine expend effort toward recycling unused objects in order to make the memory they currently occupy available for quick reuse. When control returns from the method call, the Java Virtual Machine has made a best effort to reclaim space from all discarded objects. "
That does not guarantee that the gc will be run.
As the OP has already said, and as Jos has already highlighted - what the OP wants to do cannot be done in java.

How to free up storage on iPhone 5 without deleting everything I have?

How can I free up storage on iPhone 5 without deleting everything I have, which isn't much? And if I delete things off of my phone, am I going to ever get them back?

The easiest way is to connect to iTunes and update from there. Or, yes, you will have to delete a few of your largest programs, download & update to iOS7 and then re-download those programs you deleted.

How to Free Up Memory Away from Computer

I'm on the road and there is an album I want to download from iTunes onto my iPhone. There is not enough room on my phone and I need to delete some videos from my phone. How do I do this without having access to my computer?
Any other ideas would help. If I deleted enough aps, would that do it? Or, does that free up all that much memory?

Page 68 of the manual:
"Delete a video: In the videos list, swipe left or right over the video, then tap Delete. "

How to delet 'other' memory from iphone

My iphone works fine, but I have a problem with the memory of my 8gb phone, i have 2.2 gb of music and one app thats 9mb and when i try to download another app it says i do not have enough memories, i go to seetings to see whats wrong then it says thats 4.3 gb is other? How do I delet the other memory i am not using.

Good day all,
I have a 4S that had 5+G of "other" that I was trying to free up. I searched and searched, tried all the suggestions and had no success. I tried a full restore and freed up the memory but didn't want to loose all my settings, app folders, etc. After a process of elimination the solution that worked for me was to delete txt messages! When I went from the 3G to the 4S I restored from a back up. I've never delete any of my txt message history... so all that information, photos, videos, etc were being caried from one device to the other for like 3 years!
I started with a test. Pluged in my 4S, synced it. Registered 5.2GB of "other". I ejected the phone from itunes. I deleted my wifes txt message (with whom I txt the most). I plugged back in and "other" dropped down by an entire Gig!! So, I tried again with another that I txt often... and sure enough when down another Gig.
So, I decided to take the plug and start off fresh... I deleted ALL of my txt messages and my "other" memory went down to .52gigs!
This is why a FULL restore has been successful for those trying to clear out "other" memory. When you initiate a Full restore, you are cleaning out your entire memory of txt messages which includes large files of photos and videos!
So this is what worked for me folks! I hope it helps someone!

2 questions; how to erase "other memory" on iphone 5 and how to sync to a new computer

Apple support is failing to help my issues so I thought its best to turn to the community. OK so I've talked to Apple before about my "other memory" and I performed a soft reset on my phone and it decreased other memory by maybe a gig. A month later now its higher than it was before at over 5.6 gigs, any way how to make it as little as possible?
Also I just got a new macbook pro and I use to sync my iphone 5 to my macbook (2008), how do I make my macbook pro my primary itunes and still keep all my info on my phone? My new macbook pro itunes says its backed up, but when I plug it in it won't sync any new songs or app data to my itunes, etc.
Any help with these issues will much be appreciated!!

"Other" is all of the data for all of the built in apps. If you delete its contents all of your built in app data will disappear. Some of what is contained in other:
email messages and attachments
Reminders
Calendar entries
Contacts
Text messages
MMS messages and attachments
Genius data
Music cover art
Operating system settings
Safari cache
bookmarks
Game Center status
Music catalog
Probably a few I've missed. There was a problem in an earlier version where deleted MMS messages left behind their attachments, but that has been fixed as of 6.1. Some people suggest deleting your music on the phone. DON'T DO IT! The reason that deleting music recovers some Other space is because it deletes cover art. But is also screws up your music, which will no longer play correctly.
You will find posts from people who said they recovered over 1 GB of space by just deleting old text messages.
If you want Other to be smaller you will have to keep less data on your phone; delete old MMS and texts, delete old email (especially from the "deleted" folder), clear the cache, eliminate cover art.
Your Other is so large, however, that there may be corrupt data contained in it (unless you send a lot of MMS messages with large attachments). If this is the case you should restore the phone as New.
=====================
For your other question, the easiest way is to copy your iTunes library folder from the old computer to the new computer. For the hard way, see: Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive

you can back up your stuff by either downloading nokia pc suite or ovi suite
http://europe.nokia.com/get-support-and-software/download-software/nokia-pc-suites\
yes you can backup on your memory card, cards do get corrupt sometimes. once you back up via pc suite or ovi do as GS had suggested in the above mentioned post.
yes the *#7370# formats only phone memory

How to free up memory while running?

Hello,
i´m using a custom OPUI written in LV.
In there i start TestStand 3.5.
The model of Teststand then starts two parallel-sequences (as "New Execution" that are loaded in Sequence-File-Load and looping all the time.
One parallel-sequence checks the buttons of the OPUI and the other parallel-sequence is controling a climatic chamber. When a special temperature is reched then it executes "Test UUT" of the model-sequence (also as "New Execution").
Everything works fine but someone is eating memory. Everytime when a Test UUT is done the memory goes up. And after it is finished the memory is not released.
So my question is: How can i free up unused memory (like garbage collector) in teststand, or in LV if there is a special action needed.
Or perhaps the teststep-results are not removed? So that i create 100s of new executions and they all keep the results?
I already clicked on "Disable result recording for all steps" in the two parallel-sequences and in all steps in the model. So that i think that only the Mainsequence Callback is creating results.
Has someone any ideas what i can do?
Thanks for everything

If you have result collection disabled for all of your steps then the memory leak is likely due to something else. You might not be closing a reference that you should be. Try to narrow down which part(s) of your sequence are leaking the memory by either stepping through things one step at a time and looking at memory usage or perhaps by cutting out parts of your sequence until the problem goes away. Also, if it's not your sequence then it might be your custom UI that is leaking the memory, to determine this, try running your sequence in the sequence editor and/or one of the UIs that ship with TestStand and see if the problem goes away.
Hope this helps,

How to free the memory after closing JavaFX Stage?

I am creating a JavaFx application which contain a button. When I click on that button, it opens a new stage containing a table with thousands of data. It's working fine. But the problem is, when I close the Stage of that table, memory is not getting free by the application i.e. everytime when I open the new stage for table then memory is get increased. Is there any issue with JavaFX? or I have to do something else?
I have tried to set everything null at the time of closing of that stage but still memory is not getting free.
My button click code is :
btn.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
            @Override
            public void handle(ActionEvent event) {
                Stage stage = new Stage();
                Table1Controller controller = (Table1Controller) Utility.replaceScene("/tablesample/Table1.fxml", stage);
                controller.init(stage);
                stage.setTitle("Sample");
                stage.setWidth(583.0);
                stage.setHeight(485.0);
                stage.initModality(Modality.APPLICATION_MODAL);
                InputStream in = TableSample.class.getResourceAsStream("icon_small.png");
                try {
                    stage.getIcons().add(new Image(in));
                } finally {
                    try {
                        in.close();
                    } catch (IOException ex) {
                stage.show();
Utility.replacescene method : It loads the scene from given fxml and set to stage. At final It return controller object for that scene.
public static Initializable replaceScene(String fXml, Stage mystage) {
        InputStream in = null;
        try {
            FXMLLoader loader = new FXMLLoader();
            in = Utility.class.getResourceAsStream(fXml);
            loader.setLocation(Utility.class.getResource(fXml));
            loader.setBuilderFactory(new JavaFXBuilderFactory());
            AnchorPane page;
            try {
                page = (AnchorPane) loader.load(in);
            } finally {
                in.close();
            Scene scene = new Scene(page);
            mystage.setScene(scene);
            return loader.getController();
        } catch (Exception ex) {
            return null;
    }Thanks

Is there any issue with JavaFX? or I have to do something else?It's likely an issue with your application code (though it could be a bug in the JavaFX platform too).
Either way debugging most memory issues in JavaFX (except for ones the graphics card texture related) is the same as debugging them in Java - so just use standard Java profiling tools to try to track down any memory leaks you have.
Such work is as much an art as a science and takes some experience to get right, so grab your detective cap, download and use the tools linked and try and track it down:

How to free up memory leak?

Hi Friends,
DB = Oracle 10g
Apps=EBS R12
OS = Linux RHEL 4
My server physical RAM is 4Gb.
At fresh reboot the Memory consumption is 80M only.
When I started DB is goes up to 800Mb memory usage.
When I started Apps is goes up to 2Gb.
But when I shutdown DB and Apps I am expecting is will go back to 80M.
but still the 2Gb is used.
When I startup DB and Apps again the usage goes up to 4Gb.
How do I resolve this please :(
What is command in Linux that will list all memory usage per module/apps sorted memory size ?
Thanks a lot
