How to see what is in the "other" file on itunes
I updated my iPhone about a week ago, and all my pictures got synced to itunes and of my iPhone. I cant find any of these pictures on i tunes or on my laptop. I think they are somewhere in the "other" folder on itunes, but I just dont know how to open it. It says it uses up 3gb.
You don't open "other"
This much other indicates corrupt files. A restore should resolve.

How to Remove “Other” Data from iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch
http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-remove-other-data-from-iphone/
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 5/6/7, 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.

How do I clean up/archive the "other" files on my startup disk?
I've recently gone through my computer, archived my old files and moved most of my media files on to an external drive. I've installed Onyx to clean up log files etc, but I can't seem to find where (or what) the "other" files are. About this Mac is telling me that there's 220GB of "other" files on my start up disk.
Can anyone tell me how to reduce this to free up some more storage space?
Thanks in advance...Use your Activity monitor and search for Grand Perspective on Sourceforge to help you see what's taking up room on your drive.

How to detrmine what directory you (the JAR file) are in
Is there some sort of function that returns (ideally in a string, or array of strings) what directory you (the JAR file) are in? Something along the lines of:
String dir = Function();Then dir would be something like : "C:\Users and Settings\Me\Java Apps"
Thanks.It's not clear exactly what is wanted. Look at the information in the API for java.lang.System,getProperties(), which lists properties available - choos the one you want.

CocoAre you talking about MyWebSearch toolbar (http://help.mywebsearch.com/sbar2.html#q1) which offers apps such as Smiley Central, Cursor Mania???
If yes, uninstallation instructions are here - (http://help.mywebsearch.com/sbar2.html#q4). Could you provide me some details about the ZIP folders. If I get a screenshot, I can help you very well. -
HT201656 how can i see what is in the "other" category
Can you see whats in the other category, and delete what you don't want?
The other catrgory includes system files and saved game data. The only way to see what's in it and to delete it is to jailbreak (which I don't recomend doing right now) but if you would like to do that, you need to root the phone, however I don't want to get into jailbreak stuff on an Apple run forum.

the "other" sections on my Iphone 4s and Ipod keep getting bigger. How do I minimize this?
Other includes data such as iPhone settings, contacts, calendar events, Safari bookmarks/cache/cookies, email and email attachments, SMS/MMS/iMessages, notes, data created and stored by a 3rd party apps. Minimizing this data will conserve on the size of Other. If it becomes unusally large (>2 GB) then there may be someting corrupt in it and you will need to restore your phone to correct this.

You can't directly. Others contains all kinds of system and corrupted data but if your Others > 1 GB then to bring it down, you have to restore as new.

You can check the purchase history on your account via the Store > View My Account (Store > View My Apple ID on iTunes 11) drop-down menu option on your computer's iTunes (though I'm not sure if that shows in-app purchases and/or auto-renewing subscriptions) - you should seea Purchase History section on that page, with a View All link to its right

I used to be able to see my ITunes music on my Mac from my IPad. Now when I go to music on my IPad I only see what is on the pad not my mac. How do I get that choice on my pad again?
Hi klwhitenator,
It sounds like you are not seeing your Home Shared content from your computer on your iPad. I would use the instructions in the following article to verify the settings for that function are still setup correctly on both the devices:

You can enable disk use in iTunes and browse your iPod, or you can restore your iPod so everyting on it would be erased.

iTunes is saying that "other" occupies 1.97GB out of my 16GB tablet and I need to learn how to remove it. I am a long-time apple user with all the apple devices, but can't seem to figure out what causes the "other" category to be so large on any of my devices.
