I can't get rid of a "Not Enough Storage" pop-up on my IPad2. Can't close it and can't access settings. Can't shut off the device either. It's just locked up. What can I do?

How can I get rid of the "Not Enough Storage" pop-up on my IPad2? It won't go away, I can't cancel it, I can't access settings, and I can turn off the IPad to reboot. It is just locked up.

Reboot the device.
Shut down the device by holding the sleep/wake button and the home button at the same time.
Hold them both until you see the screen go black. In some cases, you may need to keep holding them even after the red power off slider appears. If it does, just keep holding it.
Wait until the white Apple logo appears.
When this happens, you can let go - the iPhone is rebooting.

Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
Here are some general guidelines. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickYourMac.” First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickyourmac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickYourMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickYourMac.” If not, open “BrickYourMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button.
You may have to log out or reboot in order to complete an uninstallation.
If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase your boot volume and perform a clean reinstallation of OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" that purport to remove software.

When trying to backup on iCloud I get a message of "not enough storage" eventhough I have 5GB free. What should I do?

When trying to backup on iCloud I get a message of "not enough storage" eventhough I have 5GB free. What should I do?

The problem could be that you don't have enough storage on the device itself, not on iCloud. Go to Settings>General>Usage to see how much "Storage" you have available on the device. Farther down the list is the available storage on iCloud.
Also check:
Go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage; there, tap the device you need info on and the resulting screen lists Backup Options with which apps store data on iCloud as well. Tap Show All Apps to get the complete list of apps and MB used for backup storage.
A device needs many MB of storage in order to perform a backup to iCloud.

Kmail2: can't get rid of an not working entry

Hi,
after backing up my mails with offlineimap I tried to import the folder in Kmail2. I selected maildir at the access tab in the settings and chose the folder. I now have a folder called "akonadi_maildir_resource 01" but it contains nothing. I then deleted the maildir entry but the folder is still there, evena after rebooting.
Questions:
1. How can I get rid of this folder
2. Why doesn't maildir work?

Hmm, not really.
You could consider starting fresh... If you're up for it, make a backup of everything stored in akonadi somewhere, log out of kde and do this from a console:
rm ~/.kde4/share/config/akonadi*
rm -r ~/.local/share/akonadi
rm -r ~/.config/akonadi
The first is the KDE configs directory and akonadi stores the setups of all failed and current resources you set up in the form of rc files. You'll be deleting any file that starts with akonadi there. Leave the other rc files untouched — all your kde settings are here.
The second directory is where akonadi stores its database and things like your emails. There are other directories in ~/.local/share like contacts, notes, local-mail that store various other info. You may or may not delete them. Calendars are stored in the old location (~/.kde4/share/apps/korganizer/), but you may have changed it to something else manually. These directories are optional. If you want to delete them, sure. If you don't, that works, too.
(I almost forgot this. If you want to really start fresh, you probably want to delete anything that starts with or contains "mail" in ~/.kde4/share/apps and ~/.kde4/share/config. These files will be kmail2's way of storing your identities and outgoing email accounts. They might cause some trouble later on, or they might not. I haven't tested without deleting them.)
The third directory is where akonadi stores its specific configuration files. With this done, akonadi should start at square one when you log in.
Now, you can carefully add each resource and hopefully, you won't have weird things happen.
When I had a rocky start with akonadi, I went in and deleted everything I could find that had anything to do with akonadi or its member applications. I deleted the config files and app directories of kmail, kmail2, kjots, korganizer, knotes, kabc(?) and everything that mentioned akonadi, emails, contacts, calendars, whatever in its name. I only did this once and the clean start did the trick for me.
Bonus: You can disable the nepomuk-akonadi nexus by deleting the nepomuk email feeder (usually, this is what people get irritated with) in akonadiconsole. You can re-add this resource at any time from there. Be careful with it as it's meant to be a dev tool and not for end users.

Can't get rid of "Do Not Disconnect" message

I don't have a 5th generation, but this was the only forum I could find to post. My iPod is two years old, but it's never given me a problem until now. Everytime I connect it to my computer, all I get is the Do Not Disconnect message. I've tried ejecting it, and plugging it back in. It reconizes my iPod because it offers me updates. But, I can't get it to update.

Do Not Disconnect error message
This is a standard message when you connect the IPOD to the computer;
When you’re connected you should use your computer to interface your IPOD;
The Do Not Disconnect error message means you should not physically disconnect your IPOD until it been Ejected through ITunes or in my case by using Windows and going to My computer and right clicking on the IPOD drive and then Ejecting it.
The sign Do Not Disconnect error message is normal.
Go back and read your installation material.
Hope this will help you to understand!!!

Big fan noise problem: the rear fan won't shut off, the BIOS won't update, systemupdate locks up

I received new ThinkStaion (oh boy, lots of memory and CPU speed, yay!)
I unfortunately left the originally installed Vista OS on there. Very much regretting that as I believe it contributes to the following problems (BIOS).
So the original problem was that after just a month of using my new ThinkStation, the System Board died, and it had to be replaced. Honestly, all I did was choose the sleep or hibernate option in Vista to shut down. Afterwards,poof! didn't even get the proper Power lights on the system. I diagnosed this with the online docs and then sat for a few hours on our tech support line doing all the same things to re-diagnose it.
So after the replacement, the rear fan will not shut off. Jet engine noise all day. I went into the system settings and selected "Quiet" for the Fan settings but that did not help.
Research on this forum resulted in the possibility of a BIOS update fixing the problem. Comparison to my co-workers systems which arrived at the same time shows this BIOS is woefully out of date, so even if it does not fix the fan issue I want to update it. However, everything I've tried to do is failing for one reason or another.
(The fan issue does need resolution since in one week I will end up sharing an office (first time in many years, thanks IBM for nothing!) so since I don't want us both to have to wear noise cancelling headsets, I'd like to fix this without having to just pull the @#$@ power to the fan. Grrrr. )
I downloaded what I felt were the appropriate Lenovo apps to update both the BIOS and the serial number but none seem to work properly from the command line in Vista. One of the two (can't recall which) asks me to reboot and it never actually shuts down. Eternal "Shutting Down" message. Ga! The other throws some gosh awful

error 1275 no admin priv - I AM the administrator account, there is no other acct to use!
Then I decided Vista might be the problem and found sites recommending flashing the BIOS from a bootable USB. So I started down that path and after burning the wrong version, finally geting the AIK Vista tools installed and to the point of trying to make the USB bootable, it won't allow me to put the OS boot on it. Ah, for the days when a simple "sys a:" took care of that.
So, after reformatting the USB and pounding my head in the wall, keyboard, etc. I am at my wit's end. What to do. I just want the fan noise to go away.
This does seem to duplicate other forum messages but I can't get anywhere on this. Help!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

FYI to all the helpful folks here (and any looking to shut their jet engine off as well): Flashing the BIOS did the trick.
First I had to find a website with DOS OS files and put those on the USB instead of Vista. Oldie but a goodie, but at least it booted! No other versions would.
I had been intending to use the WinPhlash utility that Lenovo supplied with the BIOS update but since I was booting from DOS that was useless. However, I found a DOS version of it and used that instead. Boom baby! Flashed and rebooted.
It did take two boots to get it back to normal (first one gave very alarming messages about no operating system being found but I think it was just a remnant of the reboot that was triggered from the DOS session). A second boot returned life to normal and blissful silence from the server. And I was finally able to get the model and serial number back in there to get rid of the bootup message it throws for that too.
Ahhhhhhh.
Thanks to all for the hints - I believe I had gotten the idea of flashing the BIOS to solve this from some other thread I found here. This is a very nice forum to have bookmarked.

I get an error message "Not enough storage" ( in the iCloud).

After getting the error message I cannot use any functionality. The iPad is totally blocked.

If the message is staying on screen then have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Can not get rid of cannot verify server identity pop up, how can i get rid of it for 3rd gerneration ipad?

A [http://www.google.com/search?q=Brookwood+Internist+Birmingham&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a Google search] shows the website, but it still doesn't load - it shows the Go-Daddy '''Want to buy this domain?''' page.
Using a DNS Lookup for that domain - http://68.178.232.100/ doesn't load that web site either. It shows '''This site is not currently available.'''
Might be a server problem where that website is hosted, a DNS problem, or an expired domain name ''(but when that happens the message is usually '''expired registration''')''.
Call your doctors office Monday morning and tell them that their website won't load. It's something that their webmaster needs to look into, along with their web hosting service ''(which I guess is Go-Daddy)''.

I have a pop up which I can't get rid of which states: "There is no application set to open the URL ximadpzl://save_ximad_token----/"

I can't get rid of a message which keeps popping up which says:
There is no application set to open the URL ximadpzl://save_ximad_token/(etc)
I have no idea to what they are referring and I can find no application which satisfy this requirement. How do I get rid of this message? It won't go away. I have tried turning off the computer, closing Safari, etc.

All of these suggestions (delete caches, restart, terminal commands, etc) do nothing to actually LOCATE the problem. They are just standard purging processes, and they have all failed to achieve resolution. And it is NOT Little Snitch either (tried turning that off and nothing changed). All these forums on this matter have been speculative and useless.
Ladies and Gents... I have found and isolated the ACTUAL PROBLEM. It is a Safari Extension that is doing it... specifically "VideoCatcher 5.3.8" which for me was installed with MovieSherlock. The extension adds the ability to download YouTube movies directly from Safari (by showing a small download button next to any embedded movie). When I remove that extension, all the annoying pop-ups go away.
MovieSherlock is not the only utility that does this however. There are several YouTube downloaders out there that ALL install an extension that detects YouTube videos on the page. I bet my hat that many (if not all) of you who are experiencing this pop-up issue... have installed one of those downloader utilities.
So, the solution is simple: disable that extension. If you need to download a YouTube video from a page, either temporarily enable that extension again as needed, or leave the Safari integration disabled and launch the actual utility itself and enter the URL into it for your download.
I would expect that MovieSherlock and the other YouTube downloading utilities will need to update their extensions (soon?) to deal with Yosemite's new browser script management.
PROBLEM SOLVED.

I can't get rid of a "Not Enough Storage" pop-up on my IPad2. Can't close it and can't access settings. Can't shut off the device either. It's just locked up. What can I do?
