I have 2gb of other data on my iPad how do I find out what it is

I have 2gb of other data on my iPad which I want to remove
I've cleared out as much if the photos, videos and books I want to remove as well as the apps and music(no music at all). But this other section is proving impossible to see even when I go into the "on my iPad" section
Can anyone help me?

is there a way of getting rid of "local caches from apps, browsers, mail, Messages, Reading List, saved games" other than a backup and restore ?

I have two iPhones on my iTunes account. How can I find out what apps go to which phone?

I have two iPhones on my iTunes account. How can I find out what apps go to which phone?

I don't believe that there is a way to do that. I would sugest using automatic downloads to keep your apps synced across both phones. You might also want to note that just about any app you have ever download will be available for free download via icloud.
Wish I could be more help.

Hey,
Do you have access to the internet?
You might visit Adobe website and download Acrobat pro on your system.
Then, you can use your serial number for activating the software.

How do I find out what these charges are for ??

Hello,
There's no way to find that. You can simply deauthorize all computer then authorize the ones you use.
Everything is explained on this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1420
First read To deauthorize all computers associated with your Apple ID
then To authorize a computer using your Apple ID.
Hope this will help.

HT204088 Charges have come up on my bank statement, i have no computer just an ipad, how can i find out what these charges are for?

I dont know how to find out where the charges have come from?
Any thoughts?

The only way that I know of for viewing your purchase history is on a computer's iTunes (via the Store > View Account menu option), though you should be able to see (and manage) if you have any auto-renewing subscriptions : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4098
For things such as apps, music etc you should have received email receipts from the store.

Other than my recent statement how can i find out what was purchased

I am trying to find out on ITunes what was purchased.. How do I get this information

Look at your purchase history.
It is under your account in the itunes store

I have a massive 267GB yellow 'other' file in my memory. How can i find out what it is?

I am cleaning up my Mac and have gone through the usual processes of removing downloads, emptying trash and other usual cleaning up of unwanted files. On my memory storage I have a massive yellow "other" usage of 267Gb but cannot find out what this consists of. I have the usual music and photo files but how can I find out what this consists of?

If it doesn't correct itself after a reboot, the Spotlight database on your Mac may be corrupted. Try re-indexing: Spotlight: How to re-index folders or volumes - Apple Support

I have an iPhone 4S that is a replacement of a defective 4s and it shows over 3Gb of data backed up in the cloud from my old 4s. How can I find out what is in this backup? It is preventing me from backing up my new 4s to the cloud due to the amt of data.

I have an iPhone 4S that is a replacement of a defective 4s. When I activated the newer phone, I believe I transferred over everything except pictures (had multiple failures trying to backup and restore). Now the phone shows over 3Gb of data backed up in the cloud from my old 4s. How can I find out what is in this backup? It is preventing me from backing up my new 4s to the cloud due to the amt of data. It may be duplicated info that I don't need or I may want to archive the backup or parts of it like pictures.

You can not access the backup directly.
Did you restore your replacement from this backup?
If so then you already have everything in the backup on your device.
If not, you can wipe the device and restore from this backup:
Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content & Settings
What is it you are worried about losing that isn't already on your current device?

If OS X is reporting you need to remove some items you obviously have a more severe issue.
To fix your issue is likely too complicated and lengthy to go into all of it here as it sounds like a OS X issue, it will require the services of person very familiar and experienced with Mac's to first recover your data and then restore OS X back to a functional state which may or may not require new hardware/software installed.
If your under warranty or AppleCare, take it in for service.
You can also hire the services of a local Mac computer support technician experienced in these matters.
Have them look at your Wifi, RAM amount, extra storage and computer backup proceedures in the process.
Good Luck.

Every time I sign into my Macbook, I get an error message from Automator; "The data couldn't be read because it has been corrupted.". I have never created an Automator workflow. How do I find out what Automator is trying to run and stop it?

Every time I sign into my Macbook, I get an error message from Automator; "The data couldn't be read because it has been corrupted.". I have never created an Automator workflow. How do I find out what Automator is trying to run and stop it?

Maybe it's set as a login item:
- System Preferences: Users and Groups:
- Highlight your user account in the left pane/list
- Click "Login" tab at the top.
See if you have an Automater action on the list
- Note, you can select it, then right-click, and can then select "Reveal in Finder". That way you might have an idea what installed it.

I have an app using data every three hours...how do i find out what app it is?

I have an app using significant amounts of data every three hours. How do I find out what app it is?

I don't know what you're basing the 'every three hours' thing on, but if you're looking at the bill from your carrier, remember that data usage is not reported in real time. It's reported in batches. It's more likely that the data usage is being 'reported' every three hours.
Look in Settings>Cellular. You can see how much data each app has used and control what's allowed to use cellular data and what's not.

Hi Kevin,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Take a look at the article linked below, it provides a lot of great information that will help you identify and remove the Other data from your Mac.

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.
