I cannot figure out what the "other" is that is taking up space on my iPOD.

Please help! I am in the process of burning my songs to my iPOD and I noticed when I synced it up that I had alot of orange, "other" stuff taking up space. I have a few television shows and am building up my music files. I cannot figure out what the "other" is. When I clicked the tab for photos, it had 23 photos that it pulled from My Pictures. However, I played around with the settings and it said under "photos," (0). However, it still has space that it is taking up.
I have alot of music to download and I don't want to have 5.38 bytes of used up space for which I don't know what it is.
Thanks!

Other can be album artwork, contacts, notes etc. If you feel that the Other is being incorrectly reported you could try restoring your iPod. Just be aware that restoring will erase the hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings, so if you have songs on your iPod that aren't on iTunes you will lose them if you have no back up. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions and it should connect to iTunes and give you a prompt to automatically update your library onto the fresh installation. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists choose no and it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes 7

Thanks lllaass, but I am not computer literate and do not understand exactly what it is I am supposed to do. All of my photos were stored on Microsoft Windows Live Photo Gallery. When I now access the gallery the only thing that is there are the folders with the title of the folders. The pictures that were in those folders are now gone. I can no longer access them on my IPOD either. My photo library on my IPOD is now empty.
Thanks again for your help.

Lumia 920: Still trying to figure out what the pro...

Aside from being very upset about Nokia's not allowing updates for the unbranded 920s, I'm still trying to figure out what the problem is with my camera...
I had nearly a perfect working phone one and a half week ago. Even though the battery didn't last well and heated up somehow and there are gliches with some apps, the phone and its original apps worked without problem. Once the battery died in the middle of the night but I thought that it was because I didn't plug the charger well enough, it's a little loose anyway. I read about the freezes and restarts in different forums and was wondering what people were talking about, since I didn't have any such kind of problems. I felt myself being lucky.
Then I got some app updates (Nokia drive+ and a few others), and ever since then my camera hasn't worked properly. When I open the camera app or click the camera button nine out of ten times it just goes back to the home screen or else it freeze the phone. I have tried soft resets and restarts but they mostly don't work, or they might work long enough to take a couple of photos and then stop working, or otherwise it freeze the phone and need to soft reset it. There is no pattens as to when it works and when it doesn't. I have also tried to uninstall some apps but it seemed to have no effect on the condition of the phone. Every app that utilizes the camera won't work ( camera won't work but other functions work), flashlight app won't work.
Today I decided to hard reset the phone. It's surprisingly easy procedure that took less than 10 min. I did my first hard reset and chose to use my phone's backup files from Skydrive and it went fine, except it didn't do anything to the camera, i.e. it didn't work. My second hard reset I chose to "start from clean table" (or something of such) without any apps installed, and also disabled the automatic update but it didn't do anything either, no working camera. I did the same procedure once more just in case I did something wrong, but it didn't work. The fourth hard reset I restored from Skydrive to have (mostly) everything in order. No working camera either but almost everything else works now.
It puzzles me. I'd though that if the reason of camera not working is some app updates then start from the clean table would have resloved it. Even after hard reset using camera at the very first possible chance didn't succeed: it worked for a very short moment before it froze the phone, just like before resetting. If I can keep myself from touching the camera the phone itself works (aside from maybe once or twice restartd itself, very rarely anyway). Now I have a phone with a camera I can't use and I don't have a clue what the problem is. I don't think that there are hardware problems because the camera *worked*, and I don't believe that software updates can break it hardware-wise. I have thought of changing it but who can promise that I'll get a phone that works better. Probably I should wait for Microsoft's/Nokia's updates, it just feels like they never come...

hi mate,
Sorry to hear you are having such a rough time with your 920. In this case, it might be best to take your phone back to your point of purchase and ask for a replacement, and if they are being less than helpful, to take it to your local Nokia Care point instead: http://nokia.com/support
I can certainly empathise with you, as a lot of the issues you describe are apparently fixed by the Portico update by Microsoft that was released yesterday to AT&T and Rogers devices but not the rest of the Lumia Windows Phone 8 range unfortunately. Bit of a wait, but hopefully not too long until the update hits.

I recently received a WD My Book Studio external Hard drive and am installing it but can't figure out what the difference between wd turbo installer 64 and wd turbo installer is. Can someone tell me. Thanks in advance for all your help.

Oh ok, well that was what the test said prior to reformatting the hard drive. Now, it doesn't find any trouble no matter how many times I run it. That's what has me so confused, everything seems to check out and yet...I can't do anything, not even install the software!

I have a new 16g nano and I have only added about 600 songs and I only have less than a gig left of space. It says I have used over 9G of other. I have no movies, pictures, tv shows or anything else on it. How do I find out what the "other" is?

I have a new 16g nano. I have only added about 600 songs so far. It is telling me that I 4.47G of songs and 9.92G of other and only 3.297MB of space left. I have no tvshows, no movies, no pictures on the Ipod. How do I find out what the "other" is and get rid of it?

You most likely have some corrupted files in other. Restore it and resync.

Does anyone know what the "other" is that is occupying my free space on my iPhone? And how do I clean it up so I can start syncing again?

I have been trying to figure out what the heck is occupying over 1.4 GB of memory on my iPhone and how I can get rid of it. I had a friend say I needed to reset, but I need to ensure that I can retrieve my text messages because I am in a legal battle and whenever I try to email them, they never get sent so I just need to figure out what I should do.
Thanks

I am having the same problem as many others: the scrabble on my iPhone just stopped working out of the blue yesterday - has anyone figured out what the fix is ??

I was wondering if anyone has figured out why the Scrabble app isn't working on all of these iPhones yet?? It started on mine yesterday .

If this doesn't resolve the problem you have a phone with a hardware failure.

Can anyone please tell me what constitues "other" data that is taking up room on my iPad?

I am trying to maximize storage on my iPad and am wondering what the "other" component of the storage is on the iPad (like when you have it connected and you see the status bar at the bottom that shows how much storage is devoted to audio/video/apps etc.) Any info would be appreciated, thanks!

How much space is used by your Other? You may be able to reduce.
How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
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, 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.

HT4557 I have my main computer (desktop) and my laptop and my Iphone all set up under the same itunes account. I cannot figure out how to get music that I purchased on my iphone to my desktop or laptop! I have homesharing on! It's very frustrating!

I have home share turned on and have a desktop for the main acct and a laptop and an I-phone. I purchased music on my Iphone and can't figure out how to get it onto move the desktop or laptop. It's very frustrating because I don't understand some of the I-tunes terminology and I have read through it all and did what sounds right but still no success!! Grrrrr.....I feel like I need someone to walk me through it!

Is there a way to figure out what the current thread is?

I've got the following snippet of code:
// create a new thread. If the current thread is not this new thread, return
Thread CountDownThread = new Thread("CountDownThread");
CountDownThread.start();
if (/*CURRENT THREAD*/.getName() != CountDownThread.getName()) {
     System.out.println ("I'm not CountDownThread. I'm leaving.");
     return;
// current thread should be new thread. Therefore start the countdown
CurrTime = InitTime;
while(CurrTime.charAt(0) != '-') {      // go until current time is negative
     CurrTime = C.countDown();       // returns the current time based on the difference between the initial and elapsed time
     setText(CurrTime);                   // display current time in JLabel
C.reset();
setText(C.getCurrTime());What I'm trying to do is get a clock (C) to count down and display the time remaining in a JLabel (this snippet is taken from a method within that very JLabel which I'm extending from javax.swing.JLabel). While it's counting down, I'd like for the program to go off and do other things. Therefore, I'm trying to create a new thread that carries out the task of counting down while the original/main thread moves on to do other things.
Please have a look at the above code and tell me if I'm on the right track. The one thing I don't know how to do is figure out how to tell which thread the current thread is. I'm assuming that both the new thread and original/main one will execute the if statement, the new one after it returns from start() (which I haven't defined). The original/main one will detect that it is not the new thread and return, whereas the new thread will and go on to the while loop. In the while loop, it will count down the clock until it reaches 0, after which point it will reset it and die.
If I'm on the right track, all I need to know is how to detect which thread is currently executing. If I'm not on the right track, what would be the best way to do this?

What? No! No Thread terminates on the return of start(). Those two events are unrelated!Uh... I think you misunderstood what I said.
I didn't say that CountDownThread terminates upon returning from start() (which is what it sounds like you interpreted from me); I said that the thread that CountDownThread creates terminates once CountDownThread returns from start() (i.e. like any other local variable/object). This, of course, assumes that CountDownThread has a Runnable object on which to call its run() method (am I right?), in which case my code above doesn't create a new thread at all (i.e. CountDownThread.start() is executed within the main/original thread) - am I right?
No, run() doesn't call start()! That would be stupid.Again, you misunderstood. I shouldn't need to explain this one. A simple reference to an ordinary dictionary on the words 'former' and 'latter' should suffice :)
Anyway, all joking aside, I have now improved my code and it works! Here's what it looks like:
ClockJLabel.java
package MazeMania.clock;
public class ClockJLabel extends javax.swing.JLabel {
private Clock C;
private ClockJLabelsRunnable CJLR;
public ClockJLabel() {
C = new Clock();
CJLR = new ClockJLabelsRunnable();
setText(C.getCurrTime()); // should be 00:00:00:00
setHorizontalAlignment(javax.swing.SwingConstants.CENTER);
// need to figure out how to set the size so that it sticks
setForeground(new java.awt.Color(255, 0, 0));
setBackground(new java.awt.Color(0, 0, 0));
setOpaque(true);
// starts the clock counting up indefinitely from 0
public void start() {
(new Thread(new Runnable() {
    public void run() {
     while(true) setText(C.getElapsedTime());
   })).start();
//System.out.println("Started clock...");
// starts the clock counting down from an initial time and runs this count down in a separate thread
public void countDown(String InitTime) {
// initialize the clock
try {C.initClock(InitTime);}
catch(java.text.ParseException PE) {
   System.out.println(PE.getMessage());
// initialize JLabel's display
setText(C.getCurrTime());
// prepare Runnable and give it to new Thread. New Thread starts count down.
CJLR.task = CJLR.COUNTDOWN;
CJLR.CJL = this;
Thread CountDownThread = new Thread(CJLR);
CountDownThread.start();
public Clock getClock() {
return C;
}ClockJLabelsRunnable
package MazeMania.clock;
import java.lang.Runnable;
class ClockJLabelsRunnable implements Runnable {
public static int COUNTDOWN = 1;
public static int COUNTUP = 2;
// NOTE: this Runnable doesn't test for the proper setting of these variables
public int task = 0;
public ClockJLabel CJL = null;
public void run() {
Clock C = CJL.getClock();
while(C.countDown().charAt(0) != '-') {CJL.setText(C.getCurrTime());}
C.reset();
CJL.setText(C.getCurrTime());

Can't figure out what the problem is, please help!

Hey, so I have a Mac Mini which I bought nearly 3 years ago. I've been running the latest system 10.6.6, when the issues started. Everything would just unexpectedly quit and occasionally, I'd get the "You need to re-start your computer..." grey screen, also the desktop would refresh itself and not open any folders or anything at all. Finder, Console, Dashboard Client, etc all quit,´and sometimes the nmblookup thing would pop up, but before I could click Allow or Deny, it'd dissappear again.
I ran the Hardware Test, and four times out of seven it said "No Trouble Found" while three times out of seven it gave me an error code starting with 4MEM. The system profiler, meanwhile, told me that both RAM cards were OK. I did the Hard Drive verification through Utilities and it gave me some problem starting with "Key..." and said it could not be repaired.
SO, I reformatted the HD as it suggested, deleting everything (I've got it backed up though). Then, I installed Snow Leopard again, and the issues were still present. It would Quit Unexpectedly freeze up, etc. So then I went and erased the hard-drive again, and a new partition was made automatically. After that, I tried installing the original software which came with the computer. Except that after Installation Disk 1 was finished, the computer restarted and then it was just a blue screen. Nothing. It didn't ask for the second disk or aything. I tried again, and in the middle of Disk 2 Installation the grey "You need to re-start..." screen came down. ***. Now, I can't seem to install ANY Mac OS X on my computer, not what it came with, not the Snow Leopard, nothing.
Again, Hardware Tests tells me everything is ok, and the Hard Drive also says there's nothing to repair. Then what is this? I don't even know what it could be anymore! Please help if you have an idea of what this might be! Unfortunally, at the moment I have no money to send it to the repair so they'd check=/
Thanks in advance, any help would be greatly apreciated!

Oh ok, well that was what the test said prior to reformatting the hard drive. Now, it doesn't find any trouble no matter how many times I run it. That's what has me so confused, everything seems to check out and yet...I can't do anything, not even install the software!

My ipod touch syncs no problem, I cannot figure out how to get my playlists or songs to stay on my ipod. I can get them onto itunes from my computer. I know how through homeshare but then they disappear as soon as I turn off the comp obviously. Thanks:)

Thanks in advance for your patience and time with a newbie:) I can sync my ipod touch to itunes no problem, I figured out how to get my music from my computer onto an itunes playlist, my problem is how to get it to stay on my ipod. I made the mistake of using home sharing which of course turned out to be useless as soon as I turned my computer off, within minutes my ipod library disappeared. I feel like I am missing something simple, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you again

I figured it out, thanks anyways

Syntax error in DW...cannot figure out what's wrong

Hi,
I seem to have a problem adding a new slideshow to the JQuery slider. I've taken snapshots of the code. First photo shows the #slideshow code from 1 - 7. This is the way it is when I took over the job and they work. also there is no syntax errors in DW when I open this page up:
I also wanted to show you the bottom portion of this script so you can see the code before I edited it. Here it is:
Next, I've now added #slideshow8 and so far so good - no errors:
Here is where I add the bottom portion of the code for slideshow 8 and it seems to mimic all of the ones above (7, 6, etc.). However, DW says I have an error on line 139. Here is what I added:
Keep in mind that as I type all goes well, then as I type some more, that error comes on (the line 139 error). also I did not add any code down in that section:
Also after I added the code, all of the slideshows stop working (1 through 8). So I'm really confused and hoping someone can help what the problem is. Keep in mind I just took over this job so all of this code on the page that you see was done by the person before me. Not saying I'm a great coder myself but just wanted to point this out. If you'd like to see the live page without my code, you can go to the link below.

Please help me. Thank you.

The end of the script should look like this...
          $("#slideshow8 a").each(function(){
                if ($(this).is(":hidden")) {
                else{
                     var title = $(this).attr("title");
                     $('#title8').html(title);
