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.

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:

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.

What is using the memory? help please.

i just noticed that in the bottom of my finder it says i only have 7.42 gb available. i do have a lot of photos and music on my computer, but i have taken off things like garage band, which i never use.
i feel like 7.42 is very little, and i am wondering if there is a way to see what is using the memory (and how much each application is using). i just have an ibook g4 and i didn't get anything added to it when i bought it, i am just worried i have a bug eating my memory.
any suggestions?

Hi annamaria,
WhatSize will show you the size of every file/folder on your computer. Photos can take up a lot of space especially if you have the individual files and have imported them into iPhoto. In that case you have two of each.
It's doubtful there's any bug taking the hard drive space. Over time we just accumulate more and more and slowly run out of space.

How do I check to see WHAT'S using up the most storage.

I have a 500gb Drive but only 11 free. Wanted the best way to see what's using up space. I can randomly hit command I on folders and check that way, but was wondering if there was a way to see a document or spreadsheet, or pie chart of everything taking up space. Thanks all.

Not really, no. I'm sure there's probably a command-line program that might give you similar information, but that's not for the faint of heart.
If you are feeling brave you could try something like this:
open
Applications > Utilities > Terminal
and in the Terminal Window type:
find the Path to the folder -ls | cut -c 48-200 | sort -rn | more
this will create a directory listing for all the files in the folder and its subfolders and sort them reverse by size and print a listing. The first column contains the file size in Bytes and pipes the listing thru more. You will have to enter a blank to advance and a q to quit.
For example, on my MBP the following command gives this result:
find /Users/dreschle/Music/iTunes/iTunes\ Music/The\ Beatles -ls | cut -c 48-200 | sort -rn | more
[Eliza:~] dreschle% find /Users/dreschle/Music/iTunes/iTunes\ Music/The\ Beatles -ls | cut -c 48-200 | sort -rn | more

    4684951 29 Jan 15:39 /Users/dreschle/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/The Beatles/The Beatles 1967-1970/1-08 I Am The Walrus.m4a ......
and I see that from all Beatles albums I own the biggest is "Hey Jude" with 7 MB
If you want to use this command often you could create a shell script, an an apple script or an automator Workflow.
Good Luck

Is there a way of connecting the ipad to the smart board in the classroom, so that the smartboard is the control, and the ipad is displaying what is on the smartboard? This is to help a visually impaired child see what is on the smartboard.,

Is there a way of connecting the ipad to the smart board in the classroom, so that the smartboard is the control, and the ipad is displaying what is on the smartboard? This is to help a visually impaired child see what is on the smartboard.

Absolutely!
Install Splashtop2 on the PC and enable it to be controlled or ran from iPad or Reflection to simply allow iPad to serve as PC unwired monitor. With Splashtop and an Apple TV connected, you use the smartboard as usual, yet the PC and iPad can see the same content. The impaired child can even interact with the Smart Board via the iPad as if he were writing directly on the big screen. Erasing functions can be done by touching the Smart Board manual controls. Several variables are in play that cause this lack of functionality:
    Apple won't permit PC software that infringes its proprietary apps.
    Smart Board companies refuse to develop iPad apps because they feel threatened and are being replaced by iPads
    School districts think Apple TV is meant for copyright infringement and could expose them to safe harbor lawsuits
    Network administrators make it impossible to login Apple TVs because they don't want the streaming occurring
    Classrooms are not able to keep up with the technology of using the iPad
    Clicker companies refuse to play with iPad because they see it as a potential threat to their core business clients
    Apple is not working as hard as it could to exploit its capabilities in education, thus losing money in iPad sales
The bottom line is that we educators and technology developers are hurting our childern with petty conflicts.

Hi john,
Yes, you would sign out of iTunes & App Store: Settings>iTunes & App Store, click on the Apple ID, click on Sign Out. Then sign back on with the new Apple ID. Also, if you have an iCloud account with the other Apple ID, you would delete that iCloud account, and then sign on with your new ID: Settings>iCloud>Delete Account.

How do I determine what is using the most memory.

The hard disk memory is filling up and I was wondering what is the best way to determine what is using the most memory. Is there a way to show a graph of how the memory is used. Like on my ipod. When I am checking the memory, it will show how much is music, and how much is applications and so on.
Also, I seemed to have lost the "all movies" in the list to the left when the hard disk is opened. It still shows the all imagess, and all documents but the all movies is gone.
Thank you for any help
Marco

Try Grand Perspective or OmniDiskSweeper - CNet Downloads or MacUpdate.
Just for future reference space on a hard drive is called, "storage," not "memory." Memory refers to the installed RAM in your computer.
Open Finder Preferences from its Finder menu. Click on the Sidebar icon in the toolbar. Check the box for your missing item.

How do i figure it out what app use the cellular data in standby mode?

How do i figure it out what app use the cellular data in standby mode? I disabled the cellular data for 3 days, and my battery last longer. I don't use push notifications, neither location services. I'm not signed in in skype or any IM app.

Do you use push email? Do you have accounts that have synchronized calendars associated with them? Those features will still use cellular data in the background as the receive mail and send or receive calendar updates.
Some notifications, like push notifications from Facebook and other social networking sites may use cellular data in the background. Basically, any automated data task like those may use cellular data when the phone is in standby (note that wifi would be used if available when the phone is active, but wifi turns off in standby and all data goes through the cellular data connection).

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

My Ipad 4 shuts off spontaneously, it is either impossible or difficult to restart. Before I send it in, I need to delete my data. When I hook it up to my computer, I can see what is on the Ipad, but it won't sync. It did work so-so last night and I installed IOS 8, today it is dead in the water. The "apple" icon constantly turns off and on, but the screen never fully loads. I can't restore my IPad until "find my IPad is off, but like I said, I haven't had an active screen all day so I can't shut it off. Help?

Does the unit not run on the charger alone? (take the battery out and plug it in.)
