IPad video storage usage does not match what iTunes displays

When viewing the storage usage for my iPad mini through iTunes, I noticed "Other" was at 19.45 GB. I thought this was a little strange since I am somewhat familiar with the type of data that is categorized under "Other". When I checked the storage usage through settings on the iPad itself I saw "Videos" was at 18.2 GB, however there are no Videos synced to my iPad. Also, when I check the "About" page in settings, again on my iPad, it shows there are 10 videos. Again, I have no actual Videos on my iPad. If I check the Videos app the only Videos that are displayed are the Videos that I have purchased, but they have not been downloaded to my iPad. ALL the videos within the Videos app have the cloud icon meaning they are available for download from iCloud.
I am wondering if "Other" is so large because the iPad is saving space to stream these videos, which I have done quite a few times. Most of the time I will stream the videos purchased through the iTunes Store, instead of downloading them, to help save space.
Here is a screenshot of my iPad's storage usage through iTunes. Notice there is no purple bar for videos, but "Other" is huge.
This is a screenshot of the storage usage directly from my iPad. However, there are currently no videos synced to my iPad. The only videos in the Video app are displayed with the iCloud icon.

I have noticed there is a difference between tapping the cloud icon and tapping the video itself. When I tap the video itself it begins to play, and seems to behave as if it is "streaming". Once the video is done or stopped playing the cloud icon remains. When I actually tap the cloud icon it begins to download, and once the download is complete the cloud icon disappears.
After I read your response I had an idea and turned off Wi-Fi on my iPad. I then opened the Videos app and suddenly all the videos disappeared EXCEPT for the videos I have recently watched. These videos also play just fine. When I turn Wi-Fi back on, all the purchased videos return, including the ones that didn't disappear, but they ALL have the cloud icon again.
Thank you for the information you provided! I have a better understanding of how these videos are stored now. If I am not mistaken, iTunes seems to think these are cached files, were the iPad sees them in a different way.
As for your suggestion with "Manually manage music and videos", there seems to be some strange behaviour going on. I have been manually managing the content I sync to my iPad for some time, but this option was not checked when I look at the "Summary" page in iTunes. I checked the box and clicked on sync. Once it was done, I went to choose the music I wanted to sync to my iPad. The moment I check the box for "Sync Music" I get the message shown below. I click on "Remove and Sync", then select music to sync to my iPad. Once that sync is done I go back to the "Summary" page and the "Manually manage music and videos" check box is not checked anymore. I am not understanding this option correctly, or is there something strange going on?

Hello there, graciecloyd.
The following Knowledge Base article offers a few steps to try when an application is not functioning as expected:
iOS: Understanding multitasking
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4211
If an app doesn't respond to your input, or doesn't perform as expected, do the following, testing after each step:
Check for app updates.
Force the app to close.
Restart your device.
Update your iOS device.
Learn more about troubleshooting apps.
On Step 2, close all applicaitons that are open. On Step 3, if the restart doesn't help resolve the issue, you may also want to try the Reset step in that article as well.

Match Regular Expression does not match what Match Pattern does

I have read through a lot of posts about how Match Pattern does not match what Match Regular Expression will due to not processing some characters.
However, I found a problem with the other way. A simple Reg-Ex that works in Match Pattern but not Match Regular Expression.
What I have here is just an example. I want to use Match Regular Expression so I can specify some sub-matches.
The reg-ex is for: one or more non-numeric characters, a space, one or more numeric characters. At the start of the string.
How can I get this working in Match Regular Expression? I am working in LabVIEW 2010f2 32 bit. Here is the code snippet and the results:

I think I prefer the ~ for negation since ^ is also used for beginning of the string. But we work with what we have.
Let me offer you a tip and perhaps defend the honor of the regex a little bit. One of my favorite features of regexes is the ability to specify character classes (and their negation). One of the reasons I have to think about the ~ versus ^ is that I rarely use ^ in a regex alternative.
Some examples:
[0-9] = \d (digit)
[^0-9] = \D (not a digit)
The equivalent regex for your case is: \D+ \d+

IWeb 09 published site does not match what I've created!

So after working countless hours on a website, I finally finished it and used Cyberduck to upload the files. Once it finished I was so excited to check out the website only to find that a lot of the content does NOT match what I have created on my desktop iMac. Even widgets youtube and html snippets aren't working, but are working fine within iWeb as I have created the site. The fonts have uploaded all wrong and even borders and frames look different or aren't there all together. Also, the Google Map widget is causing some error through cyberduck upload and says it can't load it. How come my iWeb site looks great on my computer, but is totally hosed when uploaded to the FTP server? I'm freaking out and am desperate for help.
The website is www.mikewarobickgolf.com
I'm running Lion as well.
What do I need to do to get all the content of my iWeb site uploaded properly to the server? Please help!
If I am already screwed from running iWeb 09 with Lion, can you recommend an iWeb replacement? I'd rather get the site up now with iWeb and work on replacing it a later time if at all possible.

You need to upload the Scripts folder to get your Widgets to work.
Try getting the full embed code for your Google map and pasting it into the HTML Snippet rather than use the Widget. According to Cyclosaurus ( the only person outside of Apple who seems to understand widgets), the Google maps widget won't work when MobileMe closes down at the end of the month.
I don't recommend any of these apps. As long as iWeb functions OK after the end of the month, I would continue using it until something better comes along.
In theory, Flux is probably the best bet since its a hybrid of code entry and drag and drop. In my opinion its too complicated and is not going to produce leaner code unless the user learns how to work with an external stylesheet. By the time you add inline styles and all that positioning info you're going to end up with more bloated code than an iWeb created site!
I don't know why someone can't come up with an app like iWeb that will utilise an external stylesheet and uses code injection and plugins. The big problem with iWeb is that apple didn't allow third party developers to create new widgets and responsive templates.
The main reason that I stopped using iWeb for new sites is that it can't produce responsive designs for mobile devices such as the iPhone. To extend its life, I did come up with an idea for producing a mobile version which may help some iWeb users...

Count and size of photos in iTunes does not match what is on my iPhone

I have 2 different iPhone 6 phones. For each of them, the number of photos on the phone does not match the number of photos shown in iTunes. For example, one of my iPhones has fewer than 400 photos; however, when I connect the phone to iTunes on my computer, the usage bar at the bottom shows that there are more than 2500 photos accounting for 2.5GB. I suspect that iTunes is including photos that I have deleted from my phone. Are the additional 2100 "phantom photos" actually taking up space on my phone, and what can I do to make iTunes match what is actually on my phone?

Song file and info in iTunes does not match what plays

Hi I have a question. I purchased an album in the iTunes store and it worked fine. A few days later it was released that the iTunes Plus version was available and I could upgrade it. So I did that. After I did that I know notice that the file on my system and in iTunes does not match the song that plays. The order in the system and iTunes is correct. Is there a way that I can fix this so that the file and the title match the correct song without having to delete it and repurchase the album?

Don't repurchase it - you'll just be out more money.
contact itS and report this problem.

Their first reply will be nonsense, but reply back to THAT and you may get somewhere.

Flash video - YouTube/ iPlayer does not fit my secondary display, please help

For the last few weeks, everytime I try and play video such as in iPlayer or YouTube on my secondary (1920x1080 Samsung TV 40") monitor, from my MacBook Pro 15" (New Thunderbolt version) it has a border and does not fill the screen. The YouTube divx mode works fine and does fill the screen, it's happening on Chrome and Safari, I've reinstalled flash, but no luck - Please help

You need to have Image+Wireframe ON to grab a drag point (little squares at each corner) to re-size to full screen.
Ensure the Viewer and Canvas are set to "Fit to Window" before starting.
Double click the small clip in the Timeline, it opens in the Viewer.
Place the playhead over the Timeline clip.
When you scale the clip in the Viewer you will see it update in the Canvas.
This way you see waht you will get straight away.

Even after syncing with iTunes, the usage amount on iTunes does not match what is on my iPhone. iPhone says I have less that 1G of storage left, while iTunes says I have 6G of storage. Why is this??

I can't tell how much storage I have left on my device. Even after syncing, iTunes shows that I have 6G of storage left. My phone says I only have 325MB of storage left. When I try to update my apps on my phone, I'm told that I don't have enough space available. Why is this, and how can I correct this? Thanks!

Howdy mamat2004,
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.
From your post I understand that even though you have imported and deleted all of the photos from your iPhone, it is still showing as if the photos were still located on the device. To start troubleshooting this issue I'd like you to please reset the iPhone. If the issue persists then please put the device into recovery mode, and then select the option to Update in iTunes. Choosing this option will reinstall iOS without erasing any of your personal data.
To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

ITunes music storage capacity does not match

I am using iTunes in Windows 7. iTunes version is 11.4.0.18
In iTunes, the status bar in music, it says capacity is 36 GB.
When I go into my computer and check the iTunes music library from there, it says capacity is 126GB.
Why is there a discrepancy? How much space does the music really take up?

As far as I'm aware, the Status Bar in iTunes tells you the storage size of the music selected in the viewing window. It is not the "capacity" of anything.
Therefore, if your viewing window (in iTunes) is showing one Genre (for example) rather than the complete Library, then you will get two different readings. In the screenshot below, you can see the Status Bar in iTunes, and the Properties window of my Music folder in My Computer over the top of it:
The reason for the difference is that the Status Bar is showing only what is in one part of my Library, a part that I have selected. In this case, all songs on Compilation albums:
However, if I now check the Status Bar for everything in my music Library, there is still a difference:
The first thing to note here is that the Music folder that I'm checking has several sub-folders inside it. Not everything in those sub-folders is music.
What precisely is your concern?

Content on iPod touch does not match what is in iTunes

Running Windows 7 64 bit, iTunes is reporting it is latest and greatest, as is iPod touch. When I tried to move some songs I purchased today to my iPod via iTunes, my system crashed. Tried a few times and it kept crashing. It would transfer 1 maybe 2 songs then crash. I've not installed anything new, nor have I had this problem in the past and the crashes only occur when transferring music. Anyway, after the last crash I was checking my version on iPod touch and noticed it says I have only 2 gig left on space. Yet when I go to my Music I only have 3 songs. In addition, when I plug my ipod into my computer, iTunes sees all my old music from the iPod (listed under devices) AND it will play those songs. From my iPod those songs do not seem to exist but are still taking up space. I am in the process of restoring my iPod but I am curious if anybody has had the same issue, if so what was your resolution... as well as any suggestions. Thanks, Sandy

Ok, so now I have restored several times to get the same result. My iTunes will not sync my iPod touch. I have reinstalled iTunes for Windows 7 64 bit version. Restarted the computer several times. It appears to be syncing, then an error will pop up that says the iPod could not be written to. Again, in iTunes it shows there are songs on the iPod, but when you access the iPod directly, there are no songs on it. What to do? Is it possible the hard drive in the iPod is going bad?

Printed PDF does not match what is on screen

Not sure this is the right place to post (have just posted on Adobe's equivalent of this - belt and braces), but I am having an issue with PDFs when printed vs. what they look like on screen.
In short, when they are printed, it is as if there are some margins someplace that result in the printed image being reduced in size. I do not know if this is an issue with Acrobat Reader 5 on OSX, an issue with how Reader is reading the PDF, or what, so ideas would be welcome.
The PDF's are being created in Illustrator 9.x running under Classic and there are no margins coming through from that application (they have been removed, just in case). I know that upgrading to OSX versions would be smart, but it is very expensive and the PDF, if it lives up to its name. ought to behave properly!
I am looking at this MO, because my OS9 compatible printer died recently and there are no drivers for OS9 for the new one, so i cannot (reliably) print directly from the OS9 apps to the new printer, hence going via PDF. The problem was present with the old printer as well, but as I could go direct from the apps to that, it didn't matter.
Happy to clarify further if needed.

Try using the "classic" PrintToPDF @ http://www.jwwalker.com/pages/pdf.html
This way you will be creating a PDF file using classic instead of OS X's Print To PDF.

Current Flash Version listed Does not Match What gets downloaded

I saw that Adobe Flash 16.0.0.287 is available here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html
The version I downloaded is still 16.0.0.257
Please fix!
Thanks.

AAMOF, this is the reason I came to the forum as well.
Adobe - Flash Player says current Flash for Chrome is 16.0.0.287 but the same page says that I have version 16,0,0,257 installed
How do we get Chrome/Adobe to update?
The reason I'm doing this because at the Walgreens AND Walmart websites, when I choose a store to print photo's at, the tab I'm in closes. The first thing Walgreens tech people say to do is make sure java and flash are up to date...

Trace value does not match what is really happening

I am trying to detect the bandwidth using my flash player.
I followed the instructions you gave here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashMediaServer/3.5_Deving/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d11a0773d5 6e-7ffa.html#WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d11a0773d117-7ffb and all goes smoothly.
BUT I want to take the bandwidth, given in the output of Flash CS4 and use it within javascript.
Here is the major problem. I have tried to dispatch an Event when a valid BW is given (the first value is always NaN).
But when I use this in my webpage - I always get a value of 0. Which is crazy and completely different to what I get when I output using using within CS4.
My code for Client.as is below. Please help!
Client.as:
package CIS.FLVPlayer
    import flash.events.*;
    import flash.external.ExternalInterface;
    import CIS.Utils.ExternalTrace;
    public class Client extends EventDispatcher{
      public static var bandwidth_event:String = "bandwidth_event";
     private var p_bw:Number;
      public function onBWCheck(... rest):Number
            return 0;
    public function onBWDone(... rest):Number
         var bw_event:Event = new Event(Client.bandwidth_event);
            if (rest[0] > 0)
                ExternalTrace.alert(rest[0]);
                p_bw = rest[0];
                ExternalTrace.alert("rest:" + rest + "\np_bw: " + p_bw);
                trace("rest:" + rest + "\np_bw: " + p_bw);
                this.dispatchEvent(bw_event);
                return p_bw;
              else
                ExternalTrace.alert("p_bw: " + p_bw);
                trace("p_bw: " + p_bw);
                return p_bw;
