IOS 5: Gigabytes of Diagnostics/Usage Data, running hot, killing battery

I have what appears to be thousands of files in Diagnostics & Usage Data, all labelled with yesterday's date. Given the filenames I can see that they were being generated every second or so. Some files are very large. Most seem to be data about my wifi network. I suspect that it was constantly retrying connecting to iCloud and spitting out diagnostics. There must be GBs of data. My phone is constantly running hot, and battery is lasting 2-3 hours whereas I was getting over a day before the upgrade.
Anyone else seeing this? My phone (3GS) is effectively dead since the upgrade, needing to be constantly recharged. Do i really want to upgrade to a 4S when the software is clearly this buggy?

To clarify: By reset my phone, I mean I reset all settings and deleted all data from the phone. I also started from scratch on iTunes and I didn't use a previous backup. I made backups of all of my pictures and videos as well as important notes and text messages that I wanted to keep previously. I lost application data and settings, but I rather lose a few settings and progress on games than have a phone that runs down to shut-off after four, to five hours even when I'm not using it.

Adapter running hot, amber, battery icon "calculating"

I've had my PB G4 for a few years, same battery.
I noticed today that whether on or asleep, the light on the adapter is amber, and my adapter is running hot. I have it plugged into an independent power source so other appliances can't affect it. I also use the cord with the grounded plug, not the "duckhead" adapter.
The computer itself was getting really hot as I was using it too. The icon for the battery indicates 'calculating' but the battery is fully charged. I rarely use it off the adapter.
I've tried repairing permissing, unplugging the adaptor, using just the duckhead, etc.
Any ideas or Apple articles you guys can point me to? I'm worried my computer is going to melt.

Try running your PowerBook off battery for a while and reconnect power. If the problem persists you may want to reset your PMU…

Is it possible to delete the diagnostics&usage data?

First of all...i'm new in this community so hello to everybody :-)
Please excuse my "creative english" I'm german but I do my very best.
My question...
Is it possible to delete the data in diagnostics&usage? If it's possible, how can I do this?
I didn't allow the device sending data to apple but it always saves crash data or whatever.
Theres no use of it for me and i don't want the iphone spend memory for this.
I just read the handbook an started internet search but i couldn't find anything special about this.

Why doesn't apple tell us, the people who paid for these products, how to delete the information that just keeps growning. COME ON APPLE, fix this.

After updating my iPhone 4s to iOS 6.1, my phone runs hot and battery life is down to only a few hours. Any idea how to fix?

I installed iOS 6.1 to my iPhone 4s and the next day, the battery drained in about 6 hours, where it used to last all day or longer. I also noticed today that it is running very hot. I disabled location services to see if that would help but it doesn't seem to be making a huge difference. Any ideas how to fix this? Thanks!!

I have the same problem since updating to 6.1.1. The battery has never been great but since the update it is ridiculous. It drains by 40% in an hour with no use at all and all background programmes closed.
Please fix this!

Upgraded to iOS 7.0.6, now iPad 3 running hot

Hi - I just upgraded my iPad 3 to iOS 7.0.6 yesterday, and now it's running really warm to the touch - even being left alone with no applications running. Prior to the update it was always cool to the touch. Is anyone else experiencing the same? is there an easy solution?
Thanks

This may not be causing your iPad to run warmer than normal, but I noticed with the update to iOS 7.0.6 that it turned on features by default that I had previously turned off, such as Bluetooth. You might want to check to see if features are now turned on that you previously turned off. Some of them, like Bluetooth, will cause an additional drain on the battery and might be causing your iPad to seem warmer.

MacBook runs hot when battery is in

Maybe I haven't entered the right searches, but my problem seems unique as far as I can tell.
It's basically all in the title -- the MacBook gets very hot when (and usually only when) the battery is in. This started happening just yesterday and is now persistent. Several observations:
1. Without the battery, the MacBook is around 56 degrees Celsius or so, don't really hear any fans.
2. If I put in the battery (after putting the Mac to sleep), the MacBook very quickly goes slightly above 70 degrees and the fan gets very loud while awake, spitting out very hot air.
3. It has nothing to do with charging -- this happens whether or not the power adapter is attached.
4. It is not the battery itself that is hot -- when I remove it, it feels about room temperature.
5. I don't notice any CPU usage spikes with the battery in.
The most undesirable side effect to me, frankly, is not so much the noise and heat as the decrease in battery life with the fans running continuously full blast. My battery still has 95% of its capacity yet is only good for about an hour and a half of usage on a full charge, with the screen brightness set to the lowest possible level and Energy Saver set to "Better Battery Life." Just a couple days ago I was getting almost an hour more of use per charge.
I haven't tried too many things to remedy the problem myself since I can't think of too many things to try, although I did reset the PMU (shut it off, removed battery and power adapter, held down power button for 5+ seconds). I also have all the firmware on OS X updates including the ones that came out a couple weeks ago (I just went to Software Update and it didn't find anything new, either).
So if I seem to have eliminated the battery itself, the charging mechanism, and the CPU as a cause, what then could it be? If someone thinks the battery could somehow be defective and short-circuiting something inside the MacBook I'd like to try swapping out the battery with a friend's (I'd do it anyway, but it's a bit of a drive). Otherwise, it's straight to the Genius Bar (even longer of a drive).
Thanks in advance!
Dave
MacBook 2.0 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Still not sure why the MacBook would produce more
heat with the battery in, all other things seeming to
be equal, but I'll take it.
My reasoning is along this line. The "stuck" process is asking the computer to do something as fast as it can. The CPU produces heat in proportion to the frequency it's running at: when it's running at 2 GHz, it produces more heat than at 1 GHz. When the battery is removed, supposedly the CPU is throttled to 1 GHz. So even though the process is making the computer run as fast as it can, the computer can't exceed 1 GHz and therefore there's less heat with the battery out than with it in.

Settings > General > About > Diagnostics & Usage > Diagnostic & usage Data.
Everytime I look Diagnostic & usage data I see full of crash reports such as Log-aggregate, LowMemory, assistivetouchd and etc... This crashes/crash report should be the reason why my ipod touch 4th gen is slow, sometimes hangs for a second and sometimes crash apps. I already tried to reduce the memory usage to 50% and momentarily double click home button to remove the applications running at the back but still crash reports are adding and reach about 100 and still increasing! Please help me to solve this problem. Maybe give me a tip on how to avoid, minimize or remove this crashes / crash reports on my ipod touch. thank you.

Welcome to Apple Communities
Hold Sleep and Home buttons and it will restart. It should be better

I have a version 7.0.4. I can't connect to the server. My capacity is 13.5 with 10.4 GB available. Diagnostics and usage data, when scrolled to the bottom, tells me I have low memory.

I have a version 7.0.4. I can't connect to the server. My capacity is 13.5 with 10.4 GB available. Diagnostics and usage data, when scrolled to the bottom, tells me I have low memory.How cani fix this?

Clear Safari, close all apps on the iPad and reboot. Then see if you can connect.
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear Cookies and Data.
Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to each app then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If you still can't connect to the internet, you need to do some more troubleshooting with the network connection, but report back with more details if that doesn't work and don't just repeat the question in the text box are that you have to describe the problem. That serves no purpose at all.

Diagnostics and Usage data

Approximately how much space each of following files under Diagnostics and Usage data occupy? Average size or Max size.

You would have to restore the iPad and set it up as new. The data would eventually come back as you use the iPad so you may as well not worry about it. It uses very little space on the iPad.

Removing Diagnostic & Usage Data

All,
I have an iPhone 6+ running iOS 8.1.1, and there are several entries in the Settings->Privacy->Diagnostics & Usage->Diagnostic and Usage Data section. How are these removed in iOS 8? I tried plugging into iTunes, and synching, but the entries remain... Anyone know how to remove this data? I have it set to automatically send, and share with app developers is on...
Dean

I may be a little rusty on the rules here but I didn't think hijacking a thread was not aloud. If it was me I would have started my own thread instead of taking the original question in a different direction. Just sayin.

How do I delete diagnostic and usage data on my iPad 3 please

Hi, I am very new to iPad/Apple (sorry), have been operating with Windows for so long now, and have recently bought a new iPad 3 Wi Fi Cellular.
I was wondering around my iPad yesterday and noticed under > Settings > General > About > Diagnostics and Usage Data > Data - pages of apps
I had downloaded and tried out etc, and than deleted those apps - no longer using them, but all this information is still on my Data page.
Could you please tell me please how to delete all this data, I have tried unsuccessfully. I have deleted a great many apps, but the data is still there - I would like to know how to clear or delete the diagnostic and usage data please?
The other question I have is that all this data must be taking up kb/mb/space on my iPad.
Thank you so much for your help and advice ~ greatly appreciated.

Site Web Analytics - no usage data being generated

Hello all:
I have a SharePoint Foundation 2013 farm with 2 WFE - 1 Search Server and 1 DB server. Search Service Application has been configured and functioning properly. Usage and health Data Service Application has been created and started. Usage
data collection is enabled and the "Analytics Usage" check box is checked. Usage Data Import and Usage Data Processing timer jobs are scheduled and run successfully.
But, I still get the following error when I go to the Site Web Analytics "A web analytics report is not available for this site. Usage processing may be disabled on this server or the
usage data for this site has not been processed yet."
After doing some research, some folks have suggested the following which has to do with manually enabling the receivers via powershell - which I have done but still no report and same error.
http://geekswithblogs.net/bjackett/archive/2013/08/26/powershell-script-to-workaround-no-data-in-sharepoint-2013-usage.aspx
Other Internet searches indicate that Web Analytics Reports is no longer available in SharePoint Foundation 2013:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/chandru/archive/2013/08/31/sharepoint-2013-web-analytics-report-where-is-it.aspx
http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/63099/where-is-the-web-analytics-service-in-sharepoint-2013
There is also a TechNet question which indicate that "Microsoft Support confirmed me there's a bug in SharePoint Foundation 2013 in the Database that's going to be fixed in the June or August CU"
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/5372109c-8a6e-4d31-aa34-13b6cbde52cf/sharepoint-foundation-2013-web-analytics?forum=sharepointgeneral
But, there is no resolution if this bug has been addressed or not.
Therefore, I would really like to know what the deal is with this issue. At the moment, I do not see any usage data being generated on any of the SharePoint Foundation servers in the farm.
Please advise.
Thank you,
Rumi

Hi Rumi,
Find a same issue internaly which says that the links Site Web Analytics is no longer valid in SharePoint 2013 Foundation due to the changes in analytics service application architecture, so you may need the SharPoint enterprise edition for using
this feature.
Symptom
- Recently, we upgraded to SharePoint Foundation 2013 from WSS 3.0. In SharePoint Foundation 2013 sites, we see the option to click on Site Web Analytics reports but when we click on it, we get an error.
- Clicking on Site Web Analytics reports from Site Settings \ Site Actions produces the error: “A web analytics report is not available for this site. Usage processing may be disabled on this server or the usage data for this site has not been processed yet.”
- We have ensured we have logging enabled (multiple categories)
- Example Site: http://sharepoint2/sites/IT/Projects/SAP/_layouts/15/usageDetails.aspx
Cause
By Design
1) The links in Site Settings from a site collection are no longer valid in SharePoint 2013 (due to change in Analytics Service application architecture changes...part of Search Service now)
2) SharePoint Foundation 2013 does not support Usage Reporting Analytics
Resolution
o Purchase a license for SharePoint Server 2013 Enterprise, and build out a farm for it (the Foundation SKU cannot be upgraded in-place to Server).
o Once built up, you could copy your databases over and attach them to the Server farm and do your cutover.
o Going forward from there, you would be able to have access to the Usage reports.
Also as you have found that msdn blog with the explenation that it is not available in SPF 2013.
